Chapter 45: Anger
When the pain finally disappeared, Zheng Yingci also put down his hand and opened his eyes again, his face was confused at first, and then he regained consciousness and looked around.
"What are these people doing, hangover?" Seeing the chess players who lost the game, all of them looked haggard and uncomfortable, Zheng Yingci was a little disdainful.
It's nothing more than a game of chess, not a government test, who will show you a haggard and frustrated look?
But when I touched my face, I found that the corners of my mouth couldn't be pulled up, and I couldn't squeeze out a smile.
It's not me!
Although the winner is a little girl, it does hurt Zheng Yingci's heart, but the little girl has real talent and learning, and the chess game is the first to be capable, regardless of age, regardless of identity, is it because a little girl won the game and entered the sixteenth match, she will be angry?
"What about Miss Ye?" Doing this psychological construction, Zheng Yingci heard that someone had found Ye Buregret.
Strange to say, just after the game ended, why wasn't Miss Ye in the cabin? Not only Miss Ye wasn't there, but even Su Ziji wasn't here.
Zheng Yingci frowned, it is said, this is not a thing, maybe they just went out?
But he suddenly felt a sullen breath, as if he had been betrayed by Su Ziji, but Su Ziji had a mediocre relationship with himself, even if he knew each other, there was no reason to hate him because his sister won the game?
Zheng Yingci was very puzzled by his sudden strange emotions - Zheng Yingci, Zheng Yingci, your instrument is so narrow?
Others also seem to be hostile to Su Ziji and Ye Buregret.
Someone sneered: "I just entered the Sixteenth Competition, and I disappeared, could it be that I went to the deck to blow the wind?"
"Oh, people are people who are going to the capital, they want to ride the wind, maybe they can win a name in the capital in the future, naturally it is very different from the past, where will they still look at us in their eyes?"
"In my opinion, Miss Ye is not such a person. Although Zheng Yingci didn't like it in his heart, he still explained.
Originally, everyone knew Zheng Yingci and gave them some face, but at this time, the chess player sneered and said very shamelessly: "Look, you know people very well, and you speak for others like this? Could it be that you have a crush on that little girl?"
"Don't talk nonsense!" Zheng Yingci suddenly sank his face.
"Am I not right?" Thinking of Zheng Yingci's acquaintance with Su Ziji, this chess player was resentful in his heart, holding back a sense of depression, and at this time, he couldn't care about Zheng Yingci's family background being offended, and vented his strength: "Everyone is rushing to go to the capital to compete, is it true that you are won by a little girl, you really don't mind? I really don't mind, I want to say to you that I am broad-minded!"
This year, although women are not allowed to participate in the chess competition, there are only a few women who may win the first place.
The number of women learning chess alone is much less, and under the influence of other factors, there are only three women who can obtain the title of chess saint in the past 500 years.
Not only did this chess player feel embarrassed by the woman's victory, but other chess players also showed their resentment, this should have been suppressed in the bottom of their hearts, but for some reason, these people couldn't suppress it, and they couldn't care about their face and demeanor, so they vented it directly.
Zheng Yingci frowned, and naturally saw that there seemed to be something wrong with the state of these people.
But it's not a big deal, it just seems that the emotions are a little too intense, and the mood is somewhat similar to that of myself at this time, but I can control it better.
Although Zheng Yingci's family background is good, it is not good to say more at this time, so as not to provoke the anger of the public, he can only say lightly: "The chess game is originally a hero based on victory or defeat, and it is difficult to find a national player in twenty years, when does it depend on age and gender?"
As he spoke, he walked out, and there was still some argument behind him.
Stepping out of the cabin and coming to the deck, although there were dark clouds and drizzle outside, the wind and waves were basically calm, the water was shining, and there were other ships in the distance not far away, blowing the lake breeze with a slightly damp smell, Zheng Yingci's mood was relieved a little.
"Strangely, I always feel like I've forgotten something important. Arching his fingers and gently tapping his temples, Zheng Yingci felt that this feeling was really inexplicable.
He carefully reviewed what happened today and found that there was indeed nothing missing.
The chess match went on late at night, and the winner was decided, and the fourteen-year-old Ye Buregret won the first place.
"Xu lost the game, was depressed, and was affected by their words. Zheng Yingci found this reason for himself.
"Brother Zheng. Just then, a voice came from behind him.
As soon as Zheng Yingci turned around, he saw the two people who everyone didn't find just now, Su Ziji and Ye Buregret, standing behind him.
"So you're here. As soon as Zheng Yingci saw these two people, the emotions that he had just suppressed and the signs of raising his head were there, so he hurriedly suppressed them and said with a smile, but his expression was still slightly unnatural.
Su Ziji looked at Zheng Yingci and sighed in his heart.
Not long ago, he was just an ordinary student, even if he had a golden finger, he was only helping himself study, and the road to the imperial examination was the best way out for ordinary people.
But after the Shuifu chess game, things have deviated from the normal trajectory and are speeding in a direction that Ling can't understand.
Su Ziji sighed lightly, his face was not obvious, and said to Zheng Yingci: "Yes, the cabin is too stuffy, so I came out to breathe." ”
"Miss Ye, I didn't have time to say hello to you just now, this time you entered the Sixteenth Competition, you can go to the capital, and you will definitely have a bright future in the future. Zheng Yingci nodded and smiled, arched his hand at Ye Buregret, and said with a smile, he is worthy of a good background, and this bearing alone is better than many people.
Seeing that he congratulated himself, Ye Buregret hurriedly thanked him, and his heart was already suddenly clear, even Zheng Yingci, who won the second place, did not remember the truth.
"Seeing that it is about to end, it is better to be separated from humanity? Zheng Yingci looked at the sky and knew that the trip to the painting boat was coming to an end, thinking of other people's attitudes towards Su Ziji and Ye Buregret, he couldn't help but persuade again.
Su Ziji's five senses were much more sensitive at this time, and he also heard some of the sounds of discussion and quarrel.
Zheng Yingci mentioned it like this, it was a good intention, although she had something in her heart, she could take a look at Ye Buregret, and felt that if she wanted to go down in the chess path, she couldn't be too withdrawn, at least she still had to have grace.
"As it should be. Su Ziji nodded again and again.
Ye Buregret has nothing to do with this, she has a more straightforward temperament, there are no twists and turns, for this chess game, in fact, she is only interested in playing chess, and she doesn't understand the things of communication, and she doesn't bother to deal with them.
But there is a little advantage, she can still understand the good lai, and if others are good to her, she can keep it in mind and listen to it when appropriate.
Su Ziji whispered a few words, Ye Buregret was a little unhappy, and it was not his fault, why did he have to greet them first, but after thinking about it, he nodded and turned around and entered the cabin.
This was a trivial matter, and Su Ziji didn't follow, thinking of one thing, he asked: "Brother Zheng, you are familiar with people, do you know that there is a young lady surnamed Hu on this painting boat?"
"There are a few female dependents in this painting boat, but only Ling Mei is a chess player, a young lady surnamed Hu, but I haven't heard of it. Zheng Yingci thought about it and responded.
This is very suspicious, Su Ziji frowned.
