Chapter 25: Hand Talks
A big red screen.
His Royal Highness looked at the slender jade hand that poked out of the big red screen, the five fingers as flawless as mutton fat white jade, and the touch of red on the fingers.
It blooms like a lotus, and it comes out of the mud without staining, so this red color is not charming.
The jade hand was not plump enough, and it was not skinny, and it twisted up a chess piece.
Across a big red screen, Liu Rushi was very unceremonious.
His Royal Highness smiled and watched the big red curtain close, leaving the atmosphere of the two living alone.
Hand talk, hand talk.
A red screen separates the two sides in the big red curtain, and silently plays chess with the middle and index fingers.
A silent and murderous tug-of-war unfolded on the small and small but exquisitely carved jade scales, Liu Rushi Heizi killed decisively, opened and closed, and His Royal Highness held a white strategy, unhurried.
It is indeed a tug-of-war in which the smoke of gunfire spreads for 3,000 miles.
In fact, although Liu Rushi's chess strength is strong, it is even worse than Tang Muran and others, not to mention compared with the little chess saint in the South China Sea. Yi Xiao asked himself if he had the ability to make the little chess saint of the South China Sea sink his heart and play a fair game of chess, and his chess strength was at least two steps higher than that of Liu Rushi.
His Royal Highness threw 100,000 taels to build momentum for this Liu Confucian scholar, and at such a huge cost, he naturally would not make an unsympathetic spicy hand on the chessboard, at least to gain a chess reputation for Liu Da Beauty.
Yi Xiao has always taken her false name very lightly, especially the head of the drinking party who was inexplicably pushed to her head by Gongzi Xiaotao, which looks extremely bluffing, but it is a little ridiculous, Yi Xiao herself can't figure out how this name of unknown origin is forcibly buckled on her head.
It's not impossible for the false name of the leader of the drinking party to step on it, Yi Xiao entered the big red curtain, which is equivalent to giving the name of the leader of the drinking party to Liu Damei.
Half of it was for the big face of the white-robed old fox, and the other half was for His Royal Highness to insist on taking a look at the woman on the other side of the mysterious big red screen, what kind of woman was it?
Yi Xiao has never believed that there is a woman in this world who can be so perfect, not only has the charm of turning all beings upside down, but also has the courage to break the boat like a man.
Being proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting is not a trivial matter, but it doesn't mean anything.
His Royal Highness raised the hand of this Liu Da Beauty, just to see the "true face of Lushan" hidden behind the big red screen, is it a weak woman in the red dust, or a snake and scorpion poisonous beauty?
The opposite side of the big red screen has always been silent, that Liu Rushi doesn't know what he is thinking in his heart, the speed of falling moves has always maintained a frequency, not fast but by no means slow, if against an opponent with equal chess strength, such a strong sense of oppression The frequency of falling moves with a strong chess style will make the opponent quite a headache.
At this time, the silent atmosphere is definitely not a friend, fortunately, this hand talk was quickly carried out halfway, under the deliberate retreat of His Royal Highness, Liu Rushi quickly gained the upper hand, I have to say that this Liu Da Beauty's chess path is more ruthless, looking at the weakness of the attack, there is no routine at all, like a reckless man, at the same time, he just gave birth to an extra heart, wide open and closed and hidden needles, the style of play is extremely fierce, and the fighting tricks pay attention to leaving no way to retreat, Liu Rushi chose to leave a way to retreat half-fighting style.
On the scene, it is indeed the disadvantage of His Royal Highness, this Liu Confucian has the spare strength to start suppressing the general trend of sunspots, and the situation is not optimistic.
Yi Xiao raised her head and looked at the woman who had always sat in the same posture behind the big red screen, she had already taken out fifty percent of her chess strength in the previous game, and she was just trying to find out before, she was afraid that this Liu Da beauty would be ugly, and she never thought that the other party would be able to suppress herself with ease.
Naturally, the outcome of this game will not change. No matter how talented an Oiran is, even if he practices chess in his mother's womb, it is impossible to defeat a Wind Court Wine Queen.
Yi Xiao is ready to start working to turn the situation around.
Unexpected.
The jade hand stretched out from the big red screen twisted up two chess pieces.
"Jingle Bellโ"
With two crisp sounds, two sunspots jumped into the jade scale, messing up the entire general trend, and turning the upper wind occupied by Liu Rushi into nothing.
Throw in the towel.
Yi Xiao was a little dumbfounded and looked at the woman behind the big red screen.
"I can't get to you, I'm throwing in the towel. โ
The owner of this crispy and soft voice stretched his waist, lazily withdrew his jade hand, and rested his cheeks behind the big red screen.
Liu Rushi said softly: "Although you still have the upper hand, but you have too much foreshadowing and too deep scheming, it is better to take advantage of the upper hand to admit defeat, so as not to be bored when you get it." โ
Yi Xiao couldn't help but laugh and looked at this really different woman.
His Royal Highness carefully looked at the big red screen that was full of calculations of up to three feet at close range, and the curvy figure behind the scenes, and said with a smile: "You said that I was too scheming, and the sunspot still had a trace of thought, even if I reversed the situation, I also saved the seed of slaying the dragon, aren't you calculating?"
The woman with the big red screen and cheeks stopped talking.
She was so stunned that she looked at His Royal Highness through a big red screen.
His Royal Highness was so embarrassed to watch.
"Since I was a child, the Su family in Tianshulou taught me not to talk when I was talking. Liu Rushi said softly: "I thought it was chess etiquette and respect for each other. โ
"Su family?" His Royal Highness frowned and chewed softly on the somewhat familiar name.
"When the Su family picked me up and went to Tianshu Building, I was six years old, and she cultivated me for thirteen years. Liu Rushi turned his head through the big red screen and smiled: "Even if I don't meet Uncle Bai Chan, a nobleman, everyone Su will definitely raise me to grow up." She's my biological parent. โ
His Royal Highness suddenly thought of who this Su family was. I have only heard that there is a woman of the Su family in Luoyang, who in the core area of Luoyang, where every inch of land is valuable, does not rely on the family, and works hard to create a piece of the world incredibly.
This extremely hard-hearted woman of the Su family did not take a penny of the Su family's silver with her when she left, and the head of the Su family tore her face, and finally had to open a secular and obscene Goolan Mansion in Luoyang regardless of her face.
Tianshulou, a restaurant that is rich in charming girls, but only sells her art and does not sell herself, is still jokingly called Goolan by the Luoyang magnates, and even retaliated to build a whole real Goolan Street in the Tianshulou area.
Even under such a powerful suppression, the woman of the Su family in Tianshulou still has no change in color, and the Su family does not fall for a day, and the girl in Tianshulou can not hear the gossip that has gone viral in the outside world for a day, and there is no need to worry about those gentlemen who dare not abide by the rules of Tianshulou.
Over the years, this legendary "hook column" has brought out countless oirans, even if the Su family stood up to shield the young girls from the wind and rain, but it is still extremely difficult to make a splash, and after all, they have to bear several times the huge pressure of the outside world.
Yi Xiao was suddenly a little curious about what kind of person this legendary Su family was.
Liu Rushi was stunned and said: "Su said to me later, hand talk is not not that you can't speak, let alone respect for chess players. โ
"In this world, there is no such thing as mutual respect for women. Liu Rushi's voice was very peculiar, crisp and soft to the bones, and some syllables were vague and mellow: "Su taught me to talk with my hands and keep my mouth shut, just to focus on my strength and defeat my opponent." โ
The woman behind the big red screen chuckled: "Because you are a woman after all, and you face so many opponents, where can you distract yourself? โ
Yi Xiao looked at this woman silently.
"So I studied hard. Liu Rushi said softly: "Learn the piano, learn the chess, study calligraphy and painting, Su everyone taught me, I learn everything, more crazy than anyone else, Tianshulou will always have a light, even if I fall asleep at the desk, Su everyone is not allowed to put out the light." โ
The woman's voice was soft and tired: "At first I felt tired, but then I understood. There are not many times in a person's life when they are desperate, unlike a light that can be lit again, if you want to become a master in the mouth of the Su family, you must work so hard. โ
His Royal Highness suddenly felt that the woman sitting upright behind the big red screen was not biased in the slightest, but she had just given birth to a daughter, and that proud woman actually carried a tireless lion in her heart.
"So you came up with a Confucian name?" His Royal Highness was silent for a moment before speaking, "Or did the Su family help you come up with this name?"
Liu Damei smiled lightly.
"Liu Rushi?" she seemed to be amused by His Royal Highness's words, covered her mouth and smiled, then sat upright, and thought for a while: "This name was given by Uncle Bai Chan. Uncle Bai Chan and the Su family are old acquaintances, Tianshulou big and small troubles, many inconvenient Su family come forward, are solved by Uncle Bai Chan, when the Su family picked up, it happened that Uncle Bai Chan was also there, the surname Su was too troublesome, I followed Uncle Bai Chan's surname, and at the same time was given the name of Confucian by Uncle Bai Chan. โ
Liu Da Meiren slightly accentuated when she read the word Confucianism.
That Su family, who can leave the Su family without dragging mud and water, and the white-robed old fox can be regarded as old acquaintances, who can really stand up in Luoyang, which one is not a hero who calls for wind and rain.
This Su family should be counted as one.
Who is she?
His Royal Highness squinted his eyes slightly, thinking of the now empty and cold Tianshu Building, he said ominously: "Su family, she?"
There was a pause on the other side of the red screen.
"Dead. โ
Liu Rushi said with some amusement: "Su said to me when he was lying on the sickbed. โ
She said she was glad. โ
"Everyone in Tianshu Building has been abused, insulted, and deliberately belittled, but they all finally stood up. โ
"Every woman should fight for a breath, not for others, only for herself, the reason why the vulnerable are weak is because their strength is not strong enough, and their voice is not loud enough. Liu Rushi's voice slowly became smaller.
But the woman's weak heart was tightly wrapped in a cold voice.
Before Su died, she said she was very pleased. โ
"But the truth is quite the opposite. โ
"This month, there were thirteen girls who hanged themselves for insults. Liu Rushi said coldly: "After the Su family left, those who had money and power thought that Tiansulou had really become a fence for others to ravage. โ
The woman behind the big red screen said slowly.
The voice is cold and resolute.
"If you don't come today...... Liu Rushi laughed miserably: "There will only be one more corpse in Tianshulou." โ

PS2: Some people say that adding the author's words at the end of the chapter affects the reading experience, I can only say that I can't help it, I can't hold back the chatter, you want to read quietly, ignore these lines by yourself, the book review area is not lively, is it a little dead and silent in my book?
