The tide is flat and the two sides are wide, and the wind is right and the sails are hanging.
Chen Sanlang stood on the deck and looked at the surrounding scenery, and was full of energy: Xie Yuan, who passed the exam and was the first place, no matter how calm he was, he could not bear it.
Suddenly, he felt something, and his whole body became cold, as if he was immersed in an ice bucket, cold to the bone.
This feeling seems familiar, and I have experienced it once in the provincial examination room.
Immediately, my mind moved, and the pages of the "Haoran Silk Book" shone brightly, just like the rising sun, bringing a warm feeling.
Warm drives away the cold, the cold fades, and nothing happens again.
He raised his head and his eyes were lit: The last time it was Du Yinyan, who was this time it was?
Since the Taoist priest used the secret technique, some mysterious sensation has faintly appeared in his heart, just like a rabbit dies and a fox is sad, and things hurt their kind.
"The road is long, come on, let's play a game of chess."
Ye Outong shouted in the cabin.
Gu Linchuan looked dejected and walked to Chen Sanlang, saying with a sad face: "Daoyuan, his chess skills are very powerful. Three plates, my big dragon was killed and he threw away his armor..."
Their group left Yangzhou and rushed to Nanyang Prefecture by boat - this ship was a large ship of the Wu Family Store in Yangzhou, full of cargo and also brought passengers.
When the journey is boring, I find some entertainment, such as playing chess.
Ye Outong first played chess with Gu Linchuan, but the two were not at the same level. Gu Linchuan couldn't resist it, and Ye Outong had no intention of winning, so he looked for Chen Sanlang.
As the saying goes, "Piano, Chess, Calligraphy and Painting" are all skills that literati and scholars must be proficient in. However, for scholars from poor families, they can still practice pens, ink, painting, but the two items of piano, chess seem to be insufficient. After all, they lack the conditions, and their main minds are immersed in the classics and articles. Where can I feel so much leisure?
Ye Outong is different. He was born into a big family and was good at studying since childhood. He had a very good learning environment and was able to use all kinds of skills at will, and he was of excellent level. Otherwise, how could he be called a talented man? It is difficult to become a recognized talented man just by reciting a few poems.
Gu Linchuan said again: "Daoyuan, do you have confidence? If not, it's better to find a reason to turn it over."
He was afraid that Chen Sanlang would lose. Although it was just a entertainment between friends, Ye Outong was cruel and showed no mercy at all. He lost uglyly and could not stand his face.
After all, Chen Sanlang is now a dignified Jie Yuan.
Gu Linchuan even suspected that Ye Outong, who was in Yayuan's provincial examination, was determined to find the place. If he failed the exam, he would be proud of himself on the chessboard. In this way, he would not miss the great opportunity to ravage Chen Sanlang.
Chen Sanlang smiled and said, "It's okay, I'm idle anyway, so let's go ahead."
After the exam, I got to know the truth and the big stone in my heart fell to the ground. I felt relaxed all over. At this time, I couldn’t read the books at all, and it was okay to write occasionally.
When he entered the cabin, he saw Ye Outong gathered the chess pieces in the chess jar, sitting upright and meticulously. Go is a gentleman's skill, with many rules and regulations. Behind him, there were two people standing, one was a sixteen or seven-year-old servant, Ye Outong's book boy named "Laiwen"; the other was a middle-aged man with long hands and long legs, and Kong Wu's powerful appearance, and this was a companion to be a bodyguard. It was called "Laiwu".
With both literature and martial arts, he accompanied the young master to the capital to participate in the imperial examination.
This time I went to the capital, with many ups and downs. It is definitely not possible if no one around me. In fact, when I participated in the provincial examination, some scholars with conditions came with me. I was alone, and there was a dizzy, hot, and no one took care of me.
Ye Outong stretched out her hand and made a "please" gesture.
Chen Sanlang sat down opposite him, while Gu Linchuan watched the battle aside.
Go is also called "hand talk". The implication is that it is all about hand operations, and it is taboo to speak. "A true gentleman is watching chess but not talking". If someone watches it, it is even more taboo to say something.
Before the start, Ye Outong asked with a smile: "Daoyuan, have you often played chess with others?"
Chen Sanlang shook his head: "It's rare, I've hardly ever been with anyone."
Upon hearing this, Ye Outong laughed silently and didn't know what to say. She wanted to find a better opponent, but she didn't expect that Chen Sanlang was worse than Gu Linchuan. Only when he met an opponent was fun. What's the point of abuse? Even if this dish was the new Duke of Jie Yuan.
Gu Linchuan bulged his eyes and asked, "Daoyuan, have you never played chess with someone?"
Chen Sanlang nodded, not denying it.
At that time, he was in Jingxian County, with a low-key personality and introverted personality, and was often sneered. He had no friends, so who could he play chess?
Ye Outong coughed dryly and pondered: "If this is the case, why not let me let me go. Well, let Thirty-six sons. Haha, let me go."
If he hadn't cared about Chen Sanlang's face, he wouldn't want to play this game. It's like an adult bullying a child, and he wouldn't be able to understand the feeling of pleasure at all.
This number of treasures has reached the extreme. In Ye Outong's eyes, it is equivalent to treating Chen Sanlang as a complete novice.
Chen Sanlang looked at him and asked, "Are you sure?"
Ye Outong smiled and said, "It's okay to walk on a plate."
Gu Linchuan was relieved. Ye Outong gave so much, even a novice had the power to fight. If Ye Outong dared to give her ten sons, she would have the confidence to win.
Chen Sanlang didn't say much, and took the black first, and took the food with his right hand, and held the chess piece with his middle finger, swishing and swishing, without thinking, landing on the chessboard and occupying the star position. In just a moment, the thirty-six sons finished, forming a formation.
Ye Outong and Gu Linchuan looked over and took a deep breath: This formation focused on the Qishi, taking the lead everywhere, forming horns to each other, as if covering the entire chessboard.
Ye Outong picked up a white piece and raised her hand a little tired, and she couldn't let it go. She felt that she was in danger everywhere and there was no place for this chess piece to stand. Even the most remote corner on the chessboard could not find a place to accommodate.
But if you let go of the big talk, if you can't even put a piece of chess piece, where can you put the dough?
He widened his eyes, gritted his teeth, and finally threw out the chess piece in his hand.
Bang!
As soon as the chess piece left, Chen Sanlang held it along.
Ye Outong's eyelids hopped and she continued to go down.
But he only persisted for half a quarter of an hour, and the fifteenth hand could not be done anyway. The entire chess situation was completely dominated by the black guy, and he was unable to recover.
"I'm careless..."
He lamented in his heart, too much to make up for it. After all, Chen Sanlang is not a newbie who is just starting out. Judging from the formation he set out at the beginning, he has at least been immersed in chess skills and read chess scores.
He coughed dryly: "I lost this game."
Chen Sanlang smiled and said, "What you give up doesn't count, let's go to another plate?"
Ye Outong's eyes lit up: "Don't let it go? Are you sure?"
"Let's take a look, it's just a pastime."
"good."
Ye Outong quickly packed up the chess pieces, but then she thought that if she didn't give in at all, she would win in the end and would be defeated, so she said, "Don't guess anymore, you can continue to hold on to the black first."
"Thank you then."
Chen Sanlang didn't talk nonsense, picked up a black spot and placed it in the center of Tianyuan.
When Ye Outong saw it, she muttered to herself: This Taoyuan is really bold. She wanted to seize the heartland of the Central Plains at the beginning, but she didn't take herself seriously at all... Humph, I'll teach you a lesson!
Pick up Baizi, calmly, and counterattack whenever you see a move.
The two of them used dozens of hands in front of them, like a lantern. You and I were the other. In a quarter of an hour, the black and white chess pieces on the chessboard were crisscrossed, and they started a head-on fight.
Ye Outong's speed of falling down began to slow down, but Chen Sanlang was as always. As soon as the other party, the dark spot in his hand was immediately in place, as if he didn't need to think about it, but he had already thought about it.
After more than ten more days of this, Ye Outong felt a little hot and was about to sweat coldly. The place where her butt was sitting was hard and uncomfortable.
The situation on the chessboard seemed complicated, but he knew that he had completely fallen into Chen Sanlang's rhythm, and he had changed from countering moves to following each other and hindering everywhere.
Gu Linchuan next to him was even more dazzled. When he was distracted, he felt confused. After watching for a while, he felt dizzy.
"I lost..."
Suddenly, Ye Outong stopped and said angrily: "But Daoyuan, you are not authentic. You have such skills as chess. You used to trick me into saying that you rarely play chess. You are too cunning."
Chen Sanlang's chess skills are clearly better than him. He is so profound that he must be a veteran. How could he rarely play chess? Piano, chess, calligraphy and painting are all knowledge that can be learned. Even if he is very talented, he has to practice hard to become a great man.
Chen Sanlang spread his hands: "I didn't say that I rarely play chess."
Ye Outong couldn't help but jump up: "Chen Daoyuan, what you said yourself will still deny? Linchuan, you heard it just now, comment."
Gu Linchuan scratched his head. Although he was from Chen Sanlang's side, he felt that Chen Sanlang was not very authentic in this matter and was just playing chess. There was no need to deliberately conceal it. He pretended to be a pig and ate a tiger. He whispered: "Daoyuan, you did say before that he rarely played chess with people."
"Yes, I rarely play chess with people."
Chen Sanlang was quite innocent and said word by word: "I rarely play chess with people, but it does not mean that I rarely play chess."
"Ah, this?"
Gu Linchuan was confused.
Ye Outong said coldly: "If you don't play chess with others, how do you play?"
"Can't you play chess with yourself?"
Hearing this, Ye Outong couldn't help but be stunned.
Chen Sanlang said slowly: "In the past, I often stayed alone in the study, reading, writing, and playing chess. The left hand was against the right hand, and it was actually quite good. Looking back now, that period of time should be the most peaceful time I had. From then on, I am afraid there will be no such quiet time again."
Yeoyuantong is not allowed to make a sound.
He didn't expect the truth to be like this. He was so lonely when he was playing chess with himself in a study. But only by being able to endure loneliness can he polish his skills thoroughly. No wonder Chen Sanlang's chess skills are so great, so Chen Sanlang's handwriting should be well written.
Meeting opponents is fun, and finding opponents is loneliness, but finding an opponent who can easily abuse yourself is painful.
