Volume 1 Everything in the World, Endless Prosperity Chapter 120 The Meaning of Dongtang Mountain
In Hangzhou in autumn, the summer heat has not gone away. The beautiful scenery of West Lake is also famous for a long time. Leiyin Temple, broken bridge and residual snow. These beautiful scenery are still there. In the past, they came and went in a hurry, but never
If you stay for one more day, you won't have time to appreciate the beautiful scenery. It is naturally different from the current mentality of having nothing to do.
On the east side of the West Lake, the willows are weeping. The breeze is blowing, and the water is calm. Occasionally, some coolness is mixed with it to disperse the hot air. On the open space paved with bluestone slabs by the lake, under the rows of weeping willows, everything is orderly.
The tea table and chess game were filled with tea tables and chess games. Three or five people drank tea and played chess, talking politely to each other and occasionally letting out a few praises and sighs.
Jiang Ning also sat down and watched the two old men playing Go. Yue Ya also sat next to Jiang Ning. She didn't understand these things. She pouted in boredom and looked at the scenery of the West Lake and occasionally looked at the chess game, but she
I don't understand it very well. I feel that these things are complicated and useless. They are not as clear as the lady's accounts.
For several days, Jiang Ning wandered around Hangzhou. No matter where he passed, he would go to the West Lake to watch chess. He did not leave until the chess board was sealed.
On the fifth day, there were only two old people sitting at the chess table, who had been working together every day. Today, only these two people had the most superb chess skills in the entire chess table. This chess game did not have much influence on future generations.
The difference is just in the rules.
Presumably with the development of the times, the rules of Go are also constantly changing. In Jiangning's modern society, they have just reached their peak and become more perfect. Jiangning has been watching chess and drinking tea here every day in the past few days, and occasionally chatting with Yue Ya.
In the last few sentences, I have already understood this rule.
When it was time to close the chess game, most of the people had already dispersed, but the old man hadn't played a single game yet. He was just fiddling with the game alone, occasionally talking to himself, and occasionally changing positions, but in the end he was still entertaining himself alone.
Just enjoying myself.
Jiang Ning stood up and was about to leave. The old man looked up and smiled at Jiang Ning: "Young man, are you interested in playing a game? I see that you have been here watching chess for several days, but you never play chess?"
Jiang Ning was about to leave, but when he saw the old man's invitation, he had nothing to do but exercise, so he thought it would be okay to do it next time, and then smiled and said: "Then come."
Saying this made the old man and the two servants behind him slightly shocked. There was a generation difference in age between the two. It would not be an exaggeration if Jiang Ning called him uncle. Seeing that this young man is also a scholar, according to the normal script, it should be
He bowed his hand in return, or declined politely, or greeted him humbly, but this round of "Let's do it." On the contrary, he sounded like a man from the market, speaking freely, which was incompatible with his temperament.
Jiang Ning didn't think so much. He walked to the chessboard in two steps, sat down directly, took the black piece, and dropped it first.
The old man frowned, but then he smiled. Such a free and easy young man is rare. Today, he also learned the lesson. He sat down with a smile, took the white piece, and started to fight.
Yue Ya moved the stool and sat next to Jiang Ning, holding her chin with one hand and covering her bulging purse with the other, watching the two play chess.
At first, the old man was able to cope with it easily, occasionally showing a proud smile, but as more and more chess pieces were placed on the chessboard, his expression gradually darkened, and he frowned and said: "You... you... don't follow the rules.
…”
Jiang Ning smiled slightly and said, "Am I breaking a rule?"
"No..." The old man frowned and shook his head.
"That's it. If you haven't violated the rules, you don't follow the rules. Don't you think so, old sir?" Jiang Ning put the black chess piece in his hand back into the box and said with a smile.
"Uncle, did you win?" Although Yueya couldn't understand the chess game, she could understand the current situation and clapped her hands with a smile.
In her opinion, this old gentleman should be very powerful, otherwise there would be no one who would dare to fight him today. Now that my uncle has defeated him, naturally he is more powerful.
Jiang Ning wanted to leave, but the old gentleman held him back and refused to let him go until it was dark.
In the next few days, when Jiang Ning arrived at the West Lake, he would be pulled to play two games by the old gentleman, sometimes frowning, sometimes sighing, naturally each had his own victory or defeat.
"This isn't right, huh?"
"You kid, sneak attack on me?"
"Where are you coming from? No, you are besieging Wei and rescuing Zhao..."
In just a few days, the two of them had already been fighting on the chessboard in darkness, with no light from the sun or the moon. Jiang Ning sometimes took the wrong approach, sometimes used defense as offense, and did not play cards according to common sense. There were many mistakes in this game of Go.
A bit of fun.
On the fifth day, after the two men finished fighting, Jiang Ning stood up, patted the dust on his clothes, and was about to leave, but heard the old man say: "These days, I still don't know your name, little brother. When will I go to Hangzhou?"
Is there such a humble Go master?"
There was a lot of joking between these words, but there was no malice at all. It was just because they liked the same thing. The two of them also became familiar with each other during the chess games in the past few days, and the other old man even
On the fifth day, I was attracted by the chess game between the two and became a spectator.
"Jiang Ning, Jiang Zichuan." Jiang Ning bowed his hands and said.
"Xia Kang"
"Bi Chengan"
The two old men looked at each other, smiled, said their names respectively, and returned the gift.
"Mr. Xia, Mr. Bi." Jiang Ning gestured to the two of them again to show respect.
In the past few days of playing chess with Xia Kang, I originally had a game mentality, but Mr. Xia was extremely serious. After closing the chess game of the previous day, he always stayed to study it for a while, and found it the next day.
The cracking method wanted to defeat Jiang Ning in one fell swoop, but Jiang Ning was a deviant and unconventional person. He just made a slight change and used another move to kill Xia Kang by surprise.
Xia Kang came happily every day and left with a sad face. For several days, he finally called Bi Chengan, who had just arrived in Hangzhou, and was determined to kill this young young man. Little did he know that as soon as he sat down
, and couldn’t stand up anymore.
Jiang Ning is naturally not merciless. His views on Go are only from the club he joined in college. He was lucky enough to win a national college student excellence award, but for the Great Xia Dynasty a thousand years ago, it was more than enough.
Already.
"Jiang Ning, Jiang Zichuan, hehe, it seems that he will have a rival in the future..." Xia Kang chuckled and touched his beard, but the wrinkles between his eyebrows were condensed into a ball.
Bi Chengan laughed: "Haha, the waves behind the Yangtze River push the waves ahead. It seems that sooner or later you and I will be replaced by these young talents..."
The three of them exchanged pleasantries, and Jiang Ning and Yue Ya left on their own. On the way back, it was the evening in Hangzhou. Under the setting sun, Jiang Ning was walking on the bluestone. The sunlight stretched his figure to a slim figure, enjoying the sunshine and feeling.
With this tranquility.
Yue Ya slowly followed Jiang Ning, occasionally being attracted by the surrounding stalls, stopping for two steps, and then hurriedly caught up with Jiang Ning.
