Chapter 13: The Teahouse Chess Game
Tang Xiaode, the uncle of the Tang family, is a master of the Tang family, withdrawn, unwilling to interact with people, and rarely participates in family activities.
His only hobby is chess. He's a chess fan.
There is a master of hand talk in the city of Changzhou, whose name is Zeng Xuegui, and his chess skills are famous far and wide. Every morning, I would go to Maoshan Tea House to drink tea and listen to the play, and Uncle Tang always asked him to talk about a game, but Uncle Tang always lost.
Uncle Tang played chess with Zeng Xuegui, and Tianyou often stood aside and watched chess attentively. Sometimes while reading and reviewing, if there is something I don't understand, I will ask a few words, and the one he asks the most is his cousin Tang Xiaode.
When he was ten years old, Tianyou was still asking like this, and Tang Xiaode couldn't bother to deal with it: "Grandson, you're not young, ten years old, right?"
Tianyou: "Yes!"
Tang Xiaode: "Grandson, I lost, why do you keep asking me?"
Tianyou: "I think you, why would you lose? You shouldn't have walked like that, why did you go like this, for example, today the thirty-second hand should have flew, but you jumped, the ninety-fourth hand should have been clamped, and then leaned, but you flew; I wonder if Uncle Tang intended to let him win?"
Tang Xiaode was said by him, he didn't know how to get angry, his nose was smoking, and he pulled Tianyou to sit down, "Little grandson, you see that people are not challenged, let's talk about a game." ”
When Tianyou was ten years old, Tang Xiaode lost the first time he challenged Tianyou, and he has never won, from the first to the first, and then to the four sons of Tang Xiaode, Tang Xiaode has no way to get rid of Tianyou.
Thinking that even if Uncle Tang was proficient in the Dao method, understood yin and yang, and his martial arts were unfathomable, but he was not his opponent after all, Tianyou smiled happily.
In the morning, Tianyou should have gone to the ancestral hall to study, thinking that he wouldn't go in a few days anyway, and it would be boring to go, so it was better to go to the teahouse to play chess with his uncle.
When you leave the house, you go straight to the teahouse.
Xiaochun: "Young master, I'll go with you?"
Tianyou: "Brother, how many times have I told you?"
Koharu: "Okay, brother, I'll go with you." ”
Tianyou: "I'm going to play chess, you don't understand, it's boring, at home, right?"
Koharu: "You can learn if you don't understand, I'll follow you like this and don't speak." ”
Tianyou: "Okay. ”
Wen Ting: "Brother, don't you go to the ancestral hall?"
Tianyou: "No, go to the teahouse to play chess with my uncle." ”
Wen Ting thought to herself that it would be okay, in a few days her mother would take Tianyou to apprentice and talk, maybe she would meet her uncle today.
Wen Ting didn't stop and said: "Okay, you go to the teahouse to watch the chess, I will go to the ancestral hall to watch them practice martial arts and study, I will pick you up at noon and go home for dinner, if you meet your cousin, be polite to him, and your mother will invite him to be your master." ”
As soon as Tianyou entered the door of the Maoshan Tea House, he saw his cousin Tang Xiaode, Tang Xiaode was about to go downstairs to go home, and was overjoyed when he saw Tianyou come in, and hurriedly said: "Good grandson is here, come upstairs to accompany my uncle in the next game." ”
Tianyou: "Okay, I'm afraid that my uncle won't go down for fear of losing." ”
Tang Xiaode: "Grandson, don't brag, let's talk about it." ”
The two sat down separately, and Xiaochun pulled a chair and sat next to Tianyou.
Tianyou: "Uncle, I forgot to introduce, this is my cousin Xiaochun." Koharu is called uncle. ”
Xiaochun hurriedly got up, bowed down and shouted, "Hello uncle!"
Tang Xiaode: "Your companion, Hercules, good, good person." Sit, sit down. ”
After three sets in a row in one morning, Tang Xiaode lost them all, and it was already noon.
Tianyou stood up and said respectfully, "Uncle, I'm going home for dinner." ”
At this time, Wen Ting had already walked upstairs.
Although Tang Xiaode is old and old, he takes winning and losing very seriously when he plays chess, and he is a person who does not admit defeat.
Tang Xiaode was a little excited, the corners of his mouth curled, he touched his head and said, "No, I won't believe you, come again." Wen Ting went back and said to your mother that God bless me to play chess. ”
Tianyou: "Uncle, we are going home for dinner, and I will come back to accompany you in the afternoon." ”
Tang Xiaode: "No one believes your nonsense, how many times, you said that you would go home for dinner and come back to accompany me in the afternoon, and you did it again." Be sure to get enough today. When it comes to eating, I can't be hungry for you, so let Xiaochun go home and get it. ”
Wen Ting: "Okay, okay, everything is up to my uncle." My granddaughter will solve the problem of eating, and I will send someone to send it immediately. God is here to accompany you, to accompany you well, until you are satisfied. ”
Tang Xiaode: "It's my granddaughter." ”
Tianyou sat down helplessly.
Wen Ting left, and Tang Xiaode said: "Grandson, you won't suffer a loss if you accompany me to play chess." You play chess with me, I won't win a game today, and tomorrow I will go to your house to teach you martial arts, and if you learn it, you will save the old lady, your grandmother, and your mother from being angry. ”
Tianyou: "I don't want it." ”
Tang Xiaode: "I heard my grandson Wenbo say that your martial arts are very poor." ”
Tianyou: "Yes. ”
Tang Xiaode: "You don't want to learn martial arts?"
Tianyou: "Yes. ”
Tang Xiaode: "Why?"
Tianyou: "It's too difficult, I can't learn." ”
Tang Xiaode: "Why, I think you have a very high level of understanding, your talent is also good, you imply a Dao bone immortal style, and your qualifications are excellent, why is your martial arts cultivation and Dao cultivation so poor?"
Tianyou stared at it and didn't answer.
Tang Xiaode: "Who taught your martial arts?"
Tianyou: "Tang Wentao." ”
Tang Xiaode: "That grandson, you can still teach you well with a stupid head." ”
Tang Xiaode: "What kind of Taoist mantra have you learned?"
Tianyou: "What? ”
Tang Xiaode: "It's a pity, it's a pity, you haven't been enlightened, in fact, you haven't met a famous teacher." ”
"Teach you the Demon Charm first, you may not understand it, but it can help you open your mind. Remember, strength lies in the concentration of the mind, the harmony of the heart, the harmony of the spirit, and the unity of nature and man. ”
Tang Xiaode whispered in his ear and asked repeatedly, "Have you remembered?"
Tianyou: "Almost. ”
Tang Xiaode: "You integrate what I said with what you learned, and then think about it carefully." ”
Tang Xiaode: "You accompany me well today, I will test you again, accept you as an apprentice, and then teach you slowly." ”
Tang Xiaode squinted his eyes slightly, picked up a sunspot in his right hand while speaking, and "snapped" the star position in the lower right corner, Tianyou was not polite, picked up a white child and pointed it at Tianyuan, Tang Xiaode immediately picked up a sunspot and pointed at the star position in the lower left corner, and the two played against each other. Tang Xiaode took the black first, after a dozen hands had an obvious advantage, and then a dozen hands, it seemed a foregone conclusion, Tang Xiaode had three very thick corners, I don't want Tianyou to suddenly connect two wonderful hands in the lower right corner, one hand clip, one hand fly, the battle situation on the corner is becoming more and more urgent, a large piece of the right corner may be Tianyou a clip and a fly can not do two eyes and eat alive, Tang Xiaode is in trouble, if the lower right corner is eaten, the loss has been decided.
