Chapter 3 Poems, Chess, Games

"The twelve young master, this is the ability you taught us. It is a gift, and Zhuoer can't do anything." Zhao Zhuoer waved his hand in a panic on his face.

Liu Yu said seriously: "Zhuo'er, you have to know that the battle between the border and the Turks is endless. Your brother can come back safely today. You may not go to war again tomorrow. When will the hero go there? Your father is injured and cannot do heavy work. Do you want your mother to become tired and sick?"

Zhao Zhuoer said with a firm look on his face: "Zhuoer will help her mother."

"So I can't bear to leave." Liu Yu smiled, grabbed Zhuo'er's hand again, and stroked his small hand with his big hand. "Look at your little hand, you're a little rough. Let's go back and find you some good skin care products for maintenance. Now, I'm serious, let's talk to Brother Han about business."

"Brother Liu, let's say it clearly. Do you think I can exchange for the right amount of money for it? Just talk. Although this business is not big, it has a future. I will not let you and your confidante suffer."

Liu Yu said: "If you want to buy out in one time and the price is high, it will make you suffer a loss. I can't bear it. If the price is low, then my sister Zhuo'er will suffer a loss. I don't want to take advantage of others, right? Why don't we do this? Technology teaches you, you will be responsible for all costs, but in terms of profit, I will share 20% of my sister Zhuo'er. Is that good?"

"Brother Liu only said to share 20%, which made me feel a little embarrassed. If you make more money in the future, you can share more."

Han Sheng immediately wrote a contract, and Zhao Zhuoer signed on it on behalf of the Zhao family. Although Zhao Zhuoer was born in a farm family, she studied in a private school for a few days when her father was in a wealthy family before she fell ill, and she recognized a few words and the small words were particularly beautiful.

After completing the contract signing, Zhao Zhuoer was worried that the big stone that had been occupied by other merchants would also fall down. She found a utensil to hold the popcorn and went happily with a small basket.

When Zhao Zhuoer's figure on the street left, Liu Yuyi reluctantly withdrew her gaze and found Han Sheng looking at him.

"What a good girl." Han Sheng praised first, then asked, "Brother Liu gave the business to the beautiful woman in this way. Are you afraid that the old marquis will be left home and food and clothing in the future after a hundred years?"

"Mr. Han doesn't have to worry about this. If Brother Liu really has that one day in the future, our Sui family will recruit him into the door and treat him as a guest of honor. If Brother Liu is willing, I, Sui Yi, want to marry my sister to him."

Before Liu Yu could answer, someone snatched the door. Three young men entered the door with high nature. Sui Yi, who had just spoken, walked in front of him without hesitation. He picked up the tea on the table and drank it all. He put the book on the table and exhaled a long sigh and said, "The spring weather is warm, and it will be very hot when you walk a few more steps. Brother Liu, can you show me whether these poems are done well?"

Sui Yi, whose courtesy name was Shuda, was the eldest son of the Sui family of the city merchants. He had little knowledge, but liked to recite poems and write poems. The other two were Li Mi, the third son of the Li family of Changping Marshal Li, and the other was Hu Xuan, the sixth son of Hu Chaozhong, the assistant minister of the Ministry of War. Except for Sui Yi, the other two were all concubines without exception. The family was not powerful and they were both sick and sympathetic, so they became confidants with Liu Yu.

Liu Yu opened the book, and the words were densely packed on it. He looked dizzy and couldn't help frowning: "Are you going to take the imperial examination to make an article?"

Li Mi found a chair and sat down, saying, "We went to the poetry meeting this morning. The three-year exam happened to be the arrival of the vassal kings in Beijing every two years. The poetry meeting was unprecedented. The first day's poetry meeting was even more titled by Princess Min, the Princess Huai, and the scholars squeezed their heads to write poems. Brother Sui kept copying, and he couldn't stop his hand."

Sui Yi smiled shyly and said, "You know that my little sister is so good. She is a big girl and is embarrassed to join in the fun, so I, the brother, have to work hard. Today, Princess Min gave a title to write poems to write the world's current situation. Those students are very capable. Brother Liu can show you how they did it?"

Only then did Liu Yu realize that the above were full of poems written. He took a quick look and smiled, "At a glance, I knew that it was a group of rich and had nothing to do to attend a poetry meeting."

Sui Yiqi said: "How do you know?"

Liu Yu sighed: "Whose scholars from poor families are not studying hard, and who has the intention to participate in this? Besides, these poems are gorgeous and singular, and they describe the world as if they are eating and drinking without worrying about eating and drinking. They do not know that the rich family's wine, meat and meat are frozen to death."

"The rich family smells of wine and meat, and there are bones that are frozen to death on the road? Good poems, good poems. I have to remember them quickly."

Sui Yi was like a treasure, so he picked up the cinnabar and red pen on the table and wrote it on the paper, regardless of the font being really ugly.

Liu Yu smiled bitterly and said, "If you say a few words casually, you will be considered a poem?"

"If you are not good at it, you will show it to my sister. She likes the best masterpieces you pick up by Brother Liu. I have copied them over and over again every day." Sui Yi raised his head and smiled, "Let's go back and take you to see my little sister. She admires you very much. She often blames me for not taking you home and sitting."

Liu Yu refused and said, "No need, let it be left for yourself."

It’s not that Liu Yu didn’t hesitate to flowers, but the point is that Sui Yi’s life is ugly. I thought his sister wouldn’t be able to see anywhere, otherwise he wouldn’t have to go out like those daughters. On weekdays, Sui Yi kept talking to his sister, for fear that people wouldn’t know that he had a sister.

"I'll copy it, I'll copy it. Brother Li and Hu, let us go to the poetry meeting before lunch to let those scholars see my ability to write poetry." After saying that, regardless of the feelings of the poetry, he hurriedly took Li Mi and Hu Xuan to fool people with Liu Yu's poetry.

Sui Yi did not beg Liu Yu to join in the fun, mainly because they also understood that Liu Yu, who had a serious illness a year ago, became much more restrained and would rather play chess and listen to the song than go out more.

Seeing the three of them leaving, Han Sheng seemed to ask intentionally or unintentionally: "Princess Min has entered the capital. I wonder what Brother Liu thinks about this?"

"Princess Min enters Beijing? I don't have any opinion, but I dare to predict that King Huai must have made an excuse but didn't come."

"Oh?" Han Sheng said a little surprised, "The court announced that King Huai was not coming, where did Brother Liu know?"

Han Sheng was a businessman, and Liu Yu didn't have much concern when he spoke: "It's obvious that the old emperor suffered from hemoptysis for some time. This disease is almost the same as living for one or two years now. This is probably the last time the emperor summoned the vassal king into the capital. The Huai King had a special status, so it was no different from his dad to come to Chang'an."

Su Yunyao, the king of Huai, is the eldest brother of the current emperor Su Yunyang. Twenty-two years ago, he was the crown prince. In order to clear the way for the crown prince's ascension, the late emperor sent Su Yunyang and his brothers to other places to be banned. However, this Su Yunyao is said to be a lord who only loves beauty but not the country. He traveled around when the late emperor was dying, so the late emperor passed the throne to the current emperor before his death.

Liu Yu didn't want to comment too much on the current situation, so he asked, "Brother, how did the game of chess between the two national players outside?"

Han Sheng replied and said, "Oh. It's already reached the middle stage, but the winner has been decided, so there is nothing to pay attention to. I've only come back."

……………………

While speaking, he staggered upstairs alone, fell into the chess room and fell to the ground. However, it was Su Yan who had just left.

He took five taels of silver and left. For some reason, he was like rolling a few in a mud pit, covered in mud and injured on his face.

"What's wrong with you?" Liu Yu frowned and looked at him, "I won't go out and fall into the pit, right?"

Su Yan staggered and stood up from the ground, cried and cursed, "Those damn guys who bully others with power are just a slave in my royal brother's mansion, who actually punched me in front of the people all over the street. I...I don't want to live anymore."

After asking carefully, I found out that Su Yan had taken five taels of silver to buy a cricket that he was good for, but because he was too anxious to hit the sedan chair of the third prince's servant. When the third prince's servant saw Su Yan, who was in trouble, he beat him up in the street. He guessed that he was proud.

I beat up the prince. Although he was a down-and-out prince, it would be enough to brag about it for a few days if he talked about it.

"Brother Liu, please help me. As long as you can help me restore my identity, I will be a good person for you. I just can't stand those bastard slaves bullying me like this!"

"Do you think I am a god? If you say you will recover, you will recover?" Liu Yu said impatiently.

"Twelve Young Master, the master asked you to go back, saying that there was something important to discuss." A servant arrived in front of the door, and it was the servant of the Liu Mansion.

Liu Yu came to this world for more than a year and hadn't said a word to his father. He didn't understand why his father suddenly wanted to find him.

Generally, we only come to know each other during family meetings, and no one will pay attention to whether we go or not.

There are not many more people in the Marquis' Mansion, but not many less people. He has always been regarded as a transparent person. However, with Su Yan here today, Liu Yu wanted to leave earlier.

"Brother Liu, you can't leave. If you don't think of a mistake, I will hit you here and die!" Su Yan said harshly when he saw Liu Yu leaving.

Liu Yu smiled disdainfully. He was willing to die, so he didn't have to be looked down upon.

Cowardice is Su Yan’s biggest problem.

"No need to die. Remember to sell my pit just now? You go to the imperial tomb and kneel down. It's not impossible for the emperor to give his grace to you for three or seven days. You will have to get what you wish after the emperor has given his kindness."

Su Yan blinked and ran away again. I wonder if he really went to kneel down.

Han Sheng and Liu Yu walked out of the chess room together. On the big chess board in the chess building, the chess game between the national players was not over yet. Liu Yu looked up and saw that the chess game looked familiar. He suddenly remembered that he mentioned it in a Go chess record in his previous life, which was a famous chess game in ancient times. It was not bad at all.

Although the black chess has a big advantage at this time, the white chess can still be transformed, which is a wonderful game.

"Bai Zi can win."
