If other things can be achieved quickly, things like Go and Chinese painting cannot be achieved overnight.
These things cannot easily be obtained without more than ten years of accumulation, so most of the scholars who come here are older.
Although there are some young and promising people among them, they are still a minority, so the average age in this courtyard is over forty-five years old.
Some scholars also chose to bring their young children with them, and a few young people gathered together sparsely.
Two or three of them are Zhong Limo's friends.
Seeing her pulling Mu Qian out of the main hall, the three or two friends naturally gathered around her.
"The chessboard will be placed here. The chessboard has been set up. I will not accompany you anymore. I can drink two cups of tea and then take a nap at the back." Mr. Qi stood on the corridor and watched.
Mr. Yun looked at him with a smile, "Are you so sure that no one can break this chess game?"
Mr. Qi stood up straight, his eyebrows almost flying to the sky, "I am still sure of such a thing."
"You are an old piece of wood. You are still the same after all these years. I see that your chess game has not changed. It is still the same game as last year." Mr. Yun looked over.
"The tricks are not new, they just work." Mr. Qi replied.
Mr. Qi would stay with the Yun family for two days every few years. Mr. Qi was invited to teach at the Yun family's school.
There were quite a few students here, but few of them could attend the class seriously because they were stopped by the chess game set up by the old gentleman as soon as they arrived at the door.
And according to what the old man said, setting up this chess game is not difficult at all.
If they can't come in, they have no wisdom, and they have no chance to be his master and disciple.
"The chess game was broken today, and the gift I received was a set of Book of Songs from the Yun Family Library!"
The executive said and asked someone to bring out a set of prepared books.
The books in the Yun family library are not something that can be easily bought outside. It is no exaggeration to say that they are worth thousands of gold.
"Grandpa Yun, it's so unfair. We, the juniors, have little knowledge, how can we compare with so many gentlemen?" Zhong Limo said with a smile.
Mr. Yun smiled and said, "Age is not important here, what is important is ability."
There are rumors in the academic circles that the only person who can defeat Qi Huaili is Qi Huaili himself.
Zhong Limo hugged Mu Qian to the front of the chessboard with an affectionate look on her face.
Because there were so many people here, and in order to make it easier for everyone to check the broken games, the same chess game was broken several times in the yard.
Their location was in front of the largest stone table in front of the main hall.
"The chess game the old man set up this time is something I have never seen before. I came here because of his reputation. It is really eye-opening."
Mu Qian turned around and looked at the person walking out of the stone arch nearby. This man looked familiar.
"Mr. Song."
Listening to the greetings from the people around him, Mu Qian realized where he had seen this before. The last auction of Zhong Limo at the Imperial University Art Museum.
This person is the collector who refuted her, and his name seems to be Song Renfu.
"Hello, Mr. Song." Zhong Limo greeted politely.
Song Renfu nodded and then his eyes fell on Mu Qian, "Hello, Miss Yun. You're fine."
What happened last time, I’m afraid no one here who heard it has forgotten it.
Mu Qian nodded, "Mr. Song."
Among the many collectors and painters present that day, Mu Qian only saw two. If you don't have some skills, you won't be able to come to this occasion.
Song Renfu came not as a family member, but as a result of his own ability to obtain the invitation letter.
Among such a group of guest scholars, he seemed much younger. It would be impossible for such a person to become a famous collector without some ability.
"I met Miss Yun Er last time, and I knew to some extent that Miss Yun Er was very knowledgeable. I didn't expect that Miss Yun Er was so accomplished at chess."
When he said this, Mu Qian was standing in position C, directly opposite the chessboard.
But listening to what he said, something didn't feel right.
"I heard Mr. Qi's name mentioned several times by Qianqian, but I think he must have admired it for a long time. People who are not very knowledgeable in Go would not dare to read Mr. Qi's chess records easily." Zhong Limo said this.
It attracted a lot of people's attention.
Most of the people present had heard about the second young lady of the Yun family, and naturally news about the Teito University Art Museum had also spread.
But the most sensational piece of news out there is that Mu Qian's knowledge is too low, but how stupid can a person who can recognize the authenticity of Ranmu's paintings be?
"So, Miss Yun Er has some insights into this chess game." Song Renfu said.
Mu Qian looked at the familiar chess game and chuckled, "Of course it's a little bit."
When Mr. Yun saw her like this, he knew that the child had an idea in his mind. If she could ask him about Qi Huaili, there was no way she was just asking him for fun.
"In that case, let's solve the chess game Qianqian." Zhong Limo suggested with a smile.
"Just because you have an idea doesn't mean you have to explain it, and I have no interest in those books."
Besides, there's nothing to break in this chess game. It's boring to break your own chess game and get the prize.
"Miss Yun Er, don't be afraid. What else do you have to be afraid of in your own home?" Song Renfu stared at Mu Qian and chuckled.
This is clearly a mockery of her.
"Mr. Song, don't be like this. Maybe Qianqian hasn't thought about it yet." Zhong Limo said.
She actually knew very well in her heart that many collectors still remembered what happened at the last art exhibition and how Mu Qian slapped them in the face.
Among them, Mr. Song's face was slapped the loudest. The higher he stood, the less likely he was to make any mistakes.
Especially for people like them, their highest position in the professional field proves that they cannot make any mistakes.
The art exhibition was already a stain on Song Renfu, and he would certainly remember it forever.
"Then what if I can break this chess game?" Song Renfu looked at Mu Qian and said.
"Then you can get a gift from the Yun family and the favor of Mr. Qi." Mu Qian replied without raising his head.
Mr. Qi, who was suddenly pointed out here, only glanced at this side and slowly raised his tureen to brush away the foam on the tea surface.
He seemed to be staying out of the situation.
"Do these children look like us back then?" Mr. Yun sat above him and chuckled.
"We studied all day long at that time, and spent time in the study studying the changes in the four seasons of autumn and winter. We didn't have so many thoughts in one day." Qi Huaili's words hit the nail on the head.
None of those young people are simple when they get together.
Mu Lian was sitting some distance away from them, half of her face blocked by several bonsai plants, and she saw everything.
At first, she was provoked several times by Zhong Limo, and she rushed up to him and asked Qi Huaili to accept her as his apprentice.
Mr. Qi, who has never had an apprentice before, is a great leader in the academic world. What an honor it is to be his only apprentice.
However, she relied on her identity as Yun Han's granddaughter and thought that Qi Huaili would accept her as his apprentice for the sake of Mr. Yun.
But she didn't expect that this old man had a weird temper and didn't show respect to anyone. She lost a lot of face when Qi Huaili rejected her in front of everyone.
Mr. Qi would always quarrel with others, but he wouldn't show any sympathy. She still remembers Qi Huaili saying that she has no ideas and no talent.
She was completely ridiculed in front of so many scholars. From then on, she was unwilling to appear in any activities hosted by the Yun family.
I just don't know what she will do if Mu Qian is in this situation now.
Thinking of this, Mu Lian couldn't help but laugh out loud, grabbed the white porcelain bottle at hand and poured a glass of peach blossom wine.
She had to come and take a look at this wonderful show no matter what.
Mu Qian didn't say anything here, but the people around Song Renfu were quite anxious.
"I heard that Mr. Song is quite accomplished in Go, so I took Mr. Qi's chess record to study it when I had nothing to do."
"Mr. Song is also a person who has won several awards. He was the champion in the last national chess competition. I heard that I had the opportunity to chat with Mr. Qi for a whole afternoon."
Song Renfu's chess skills were favored by Mr. Qi, which no one could ask for.
If among all the participants, the one with the greatest hope of cracking Mr. Qi's chess game was Song Renfu.
"Miss Yun Er, do you still remember the argument we had last time?" Song Renfu suddenly looked at Mu Qian.
The person who had been looking down at the chess game was called out like this, and she looked up at the person standing opposite.
"I am a very competitive person. If I lose once, I will remember it in my heart and try to find a way to win back next time. Since I lost to you in the painting appreciation last time, I will definitely win back today."
This was the first time Mu Qian heard someone say something so strict in dissatisfaction.
"You can do whatever you want." Mu Qian gestured along with the chess game.
This chess game is placed here, anyone can come and solve it, and it is not just for her alone.
"Why don't we, Miss Yun Er, compete like this again? If you solve Mr. Qi's chess game, I will lose you one more painting by Mr. Ran Mu."
Everyone present became interested in the bet and gathered around.
The few old gentlemen sitting high up in the hall didn't pay much attention to the noise below, but the relevant discussions continued.
"These children are having a lively discussion. If Brother Yun doesn't go and take a look, your granddaughter will be bullied again soon."
Mr. Yun looked at the commotion on the opposite side, smiled, picked up the tureen and took a sip of tea.
"Although that child seems lively, he is not easy to bully." Mr. Yun felt very relieved.
"That's right. I've met the child's mother once. She has a bold and bold temperament, and is not submissive."
She was the eldest daughter of the Ning family, and she grew up being pampered by all kinds of people, so she was naturally different.
"Qi Huaili, I see that Yun Han is so confident. It seems that your chess game is settled today."
Mr. Yun looked at it carefully and then said, "I don't think this chess game is your style."
After reading for a while, someone finally pointed out the difference.
Mr. Qi, who was sitting across from him, was minding his own business holding the book in his hand. "This chess game was not originally set up by me. It was set up by a good friend of mine many years ago. I still haven't found a way to break it."
So it was presented openly and openly.
This person has passed away, so I have to miss him a little bit.
Song Renfu didn't wait for Mu Qian's agreement before he started to break the situation, and more and more people were watching.
Zhong Limo smiled and stood next to Mu Qian, "If Qian Qian can break this game, maybe Mr. Qi can accept you as his apprentice!"
Start lowering the condom bit by bit, and after a while the person can get into the condom.
"Mr. Qi never accepts apprentices. He just broke a chess game, so he doesn't break the rules." Mu Qian looked at Zhong Limo, "You are really superficial in your views on things."
Her eyes were as disdainful as last time, which made Zhong Limo's heart tremble.
Song Renfu stopped after playing a few moves of chess, and it could be seen that there was sweat on his forehead.
At this moment, most of the people had gathered around them. In front of so many people, they couldn't lose anyone.
If you can just find a place to study, instead of doing it in front of the main hall with so much fanfare and so many people watching, of course you can't just lose it casually.
"It doesn't matter if you can't solve it. After all, it's Mr. Qi's chess game. No one will laugh at you." The person on the side said with a smile.
Everyone present basically agreed that no one could solve this chess game except the old gentleman. Since they all thought so, there was no need to make things difficult for each other.
Watch the chess without saying anything, this is the rule.
When Song Renfu started to break the situation, everyone present fell silent in unison, and Mu Qian stared at his movements in silence.
The moment his third son fell, Mu Qian smiled and turned around to the stone table next to him to get a glass of juice and hold it in his hand.
It's of no use, the man is already dead.
"It seems that your granddaughter has gained some insights." The old man above smiled at Yun Han.
Mu Qian had just taken a bite of the sweet-scented osmanthus cake and reached over to take a glass of juice from above her. She turned around and saw Chi Si and Yun Zaichun who had appeared at some unknown time.
The hand that reached over her thing belonged to Wen Hao.
"What are you doing standing here in such a big sun?" Wen Hao said and thoughtfully took a small fan on the side to fan her.
"Let's see them break the situation." Mu Qian replied.
Wen Hao fanned her and said, "Go and take shelter under the pavilion over there. There is also a chess game over there. Look, your face is getting red."
Opposite them, Chi Si and Yun Zaichun took their seats in a pavilion. The same chess game was placed on the stone table in front of them.
From the perspective of Mu Lian, we could see Wen Hao, who was wearing pigtails and a suit, raised his hand and used a fan to shield Mu Qian from the sun as he walked towards the pavilion.
Everyone present knew that the second young lady of the Yun family was well taken care of by these young masters in the Imperial Capital.
I heard that someone just said something bad about the second young lady of the Yun family at a dinner party a few days ago. Wen Hao didn't take it at all and threw the person out of the hotel without caring about his status.
As he was leaving, he said openly that if he does it next time, his legs will be broken.
With this incident, everyone in the imperial capital knew how much these untouchable young masters protected the second young lady of the Yun family.
