Since Liu Jingxuan arrived in Yangzhou City, officials from Yangzhou City and the surrounding counties have come to congratulate him. The www.biquge.info of the pen, fun, and pavilion are the squires and giants in this area, and they also go to the government in groups to congratulate them. The givers lined up in a long line outside the yamen.

Liu Jingxuan can be said to have come and not refuse these gift-givers.

Liu Jingxuan divided the gifts he sent into four categories: calligraphy and paintings of celebrities and rare antiques, silk and satin and precious medicinal herbs, pearl agate and cat's eye tourmaline into one category, and silver taels and silver stamps into one category. The giver must sign the name and time of the merit book prepared in advance.

Liu Jingxuan drank tea and greeted the people who gave gifts and congratulations almost day and night, and sent away one group after another. After a few days, Liu Jingxuan felt that his whole body was about to fall apart.

finally sent everyone away, Liu Jingxuan saw that it was still early, so he went to the account room to find Xiao Rang.

Xiao Rang was no longer a criminal master at this time, but was promoted to the prefect by Liu Jingxuan's Ministry of Officials, and enjoyed a general sentence. Although it is a false title, Xiao Rang is still very happy. Anyone who gives gifts to Liu Jingxuan has to go through Xiao Rang's registration and make a book, so Xiao Rang has been even more busy these days. Fortunately, Liu Jingxuan added a few more people to Xiao Rang in advance. If there was only Xiao Rang alone, I am afraid that he would have vomited three liters of blood at this moment, and his soul would have returned to his hometown.

As soon as Liu Jingxuan entered the account room, he saw Xiao Rang stretching his waist and beating his legs, and said with a smile: "Mr. Xiao, you have really tired you these days, why don't we take a rest." ”

Xiao Rang nodded and said, "Okay, my lord." Then let's go back to our own houses and have a rest. ”

Liu Jingxuan pointed to the sun outside and said with a smile: "The sun has not set yet, so it's too early to rest at this time." ”

Xiao Rang rolled his eyes and asked, "What do you mean, my lord?"

Liu Jingxuan stroked his short hair, smiled mysteriously, and said, "I mean, why don't we talk about a game? ”

When Xiao Rang heard this, he shook his head again and again and said, "My lord, forgive the students for not being able to obey their orders." Others don't know, but students still know. Adults are excellent at chess, and they never let others win once. Inside and outside this palace, no one wants to play against adults. What's more, this chess path is difficult, and where is rest, it is simply a sin. I went back to the house to rest and take my leave. After saying that, he got up and shook it, turned around and left.

"Mr. Xiao, Mr. Xiao. Looking at Xiao Rang's back, Liu Jingxuan sighed, reluctantly returned to his house, changed into a set of civilian clothes, and walked outside the yamen.

Liu Jingxuan walked leisurely and unconsciously came to the Slender West Lake. Looking at the incomplete surface of the lake, I can't help but feel a little lost.

Suddenly, he saw a group of people under a large tree by the lake.

Liu Jingxuan was curious for a moment, so he stepped forward to take a look.

The group was small in number, and in the middle of the crowd sat an elderly monk and a middle-aged scribe, who were playing a game of Go.

The old monk was dressed in an earthy yellow monk's robe, his head was shiny and shiny, and he was given nine incense scars. The two compassionate eyebrows are a little gray, their faces are serene, and their expressions are kind.

The middle-aged scribe was dressed in a gray cloth robe, with a wide forehead and black hair, a straight nose and a square mouth, two bright eyes, and a short beard under his chin.

Liu Jingxuan's eyes couldn't help but light up, and his face seemed to bloom with a moon flower.

He looked closely, and from the chess surface, the monk was basically lost.

After a while, the monk folded his hands and said, "Lord Lin Shi really deserves to be the national hand of the world, and the old man has lost again." ”

The donor surnamed Lin slowly put the chess pieces into the chess jar and said with a smile: "Zen Master Zhiyue said that he laughed, where do I dare to be a national player." ”

Zen Master Zhiyue stood up and was about to say goodbye to the benefactor surnamed Lin.

A white-clothed young man next to him stepped forward, bowed deeply to the benefactor surnamed Lin, and said: "The senior's chess skills are extraordinary, I don't know if I can ask for a lesson or two." ”

The benefactor surnamed Lin looked up and down at the white-clothed young man in front of him.

This young man has a beautiful face, dressed in white, and his gestures are chic and elegant.

The benefactor surnamed Lin couldn't help but feel a little more good in his heart.

The donor surnamed Lin smiled slightly and asked, "May I ask this little brother's surname?"

The young man in white said respectfully: "The little surname is Shangguan, and the double name is Yunying." But I don't know your honorable name?"

The donor surnamed Lin was very satisfied with Shangguan Yunying's politeness, twisted his beard and said, "My surname is Lin, and my double name is Daohong." Since the little brother has this Yaxing, then we will play a game. ”

Shangguan Yunying gave another salute, and then sat opposite Lin Daohong, and took the lead under Lin Daohong's humility.

The Zen master Zhiyue was also interested and stood aside to watch.

I couldn't see anything at first. When the two sides reached the one hundred and thirty-sixth hand, the black and white sides began to enter a brutal strangulation.

Lin Daohong looked at Shangguan Yunying in front of him and was very surprised: the young man opposite looked like he was only sixteen or seventeen years old, and his chess skills were so exquisite. It's hard to deal with it if you don't have the spirit of 12 points. I have been obsessed with chess all my life, but it seems that the other party's age is not as good as this person's chess skills. If you wait a few more years, you will be willing to bow down.

Zen Master Zhiyue was even more surprised, and felt incredible at Shangguan Yunying's chess skills.

When the two sides went down to three hundred and eleven hands, Shangguan Yunying sighed and gently put the sunspots into the chess jar one by one. Then he bowed to Lin Daohong and said: "The predecessors have profound chess skills, and they are ashamed of themselves." Today, I have benefited a lot from not giving up. ”

Lin Daohong stroked his beard and said with a smile: "The little brother has such superb chess skills at a young age, which is something that Lin has never seen before. One day, his little brother will be victorious in a certain way. ”

Just as the people next to him were praising Shangguan Yunying's outstanding talent, Liu Jingxuan quietly squeezed through the crowd, took a step forward, bowed down and said, "Mr. Lin, hello." I would like to take the liberty of doing so. I'm also a chess lover, so I don't know if I can learn a thing or two in front of the stage. ”

Lin Daohong looked Liu Jingxuan up and down, and found that the other party was standing up and down, his face was as white as jade, his eyebrows were handsome, and he was also a scribe, so he said: "It's getting late, and I'm a little tired, how about fighting another day?"

Liu Jingxuan smiled slightly and said, "I'm really sorry to disturb Mr. But I really admired Mr. Xi's chess skills, so I did not shy away from taking the liberty and asked Your Excellency for advice. I heard Confucius listen to the sound below, and I didn't know the taste of meat for three days. Sir is a chess master, and he must know that time and fatigue can never be an excuse. ”

Lin Daohong looked around.

Shangguan Yunying, Zen Master Zhiyue, and the people around them were all about to leave, but when they heard Liu Jingxuan say this, they all stopped and wanted to see what was going on.

Lin Daohong is a chess saint and is known as the national player in the world. He heard Liu Jingxuan's voice, and also felt the gaze of everyone. Although he is not a pretentious person, how can he show cowardice in the way of the heron.

Lin Daohong nodded, and said with a smile: "Since this brother claims to be a chess lover, his chess skills must be not ordinary. Then you will learn a thing or two. But well, it's not early, and you can only play one game. ”

Liu Jingxuan smiled mysteriously and said, "Mr. Jinzun is." ”
