Chapter 123 Fu Nian: It goes against the way of a saint
Zilanxuan.
Zheng Ze was sitting upright in front of the case. On the left and right sides of the case were placed fruits, pastries, fine wines and snacks. The array was particularly rich.
In the center of the case, there is a chessboard with nineteen neat rows and vertical lines. Pick up a polished black chess piece and rub it with your fingertips.
In the private room he was in, the window sill was slightly open, letting in the light from the outside, making the beautifully decorated attic appear bright and clear.
Zi Nu Su slowly lit the incense burner placed aside with her hand, and the calming fragrance slowly dispersed into the air.
He glanced at Zi Nu's hands, which were painted with lavender cinnamon. She was particularly particular about the way she lit incense. He suddenly thought of Madam Mingzhu again. He wondered if she was doing well because she was worried that King Han would discover the writing on her lower abdomen. Was she trying to harm herself?
.
If he didn't think of poisoning himself, Zheng Ze would be a little worried.
"I never thought Mr. Zheng could play chess?" Zi Nu's temples swayed slightly, and she walked up to Zheng Ze with light steps and slowly sat down. As her legs shifted, the slit in her skirt made the snow white looming through.
Sufficient light shines on this purple-style beauty, including her plump eyebrows and slightly glossy cherry lips. The purple light is dazzling and bright.
"Miss Zi Nu is wrong, I don't know how to do it." Zheng Ze shook his head.
No one can cover everything, and there are very few people like Zi Nu who know all kinds of skills.
There were sparkling waves between her violet eyes, like spring water on the lakeside, rippled by the wind, "Then why did you set up this chessboard?"
Looking at the chess board with no stones and only clear lines, Zi Nu asked curiously.
"I can't, but my opponent can." Zheng Ze casually placed the chess piece in his hand on one of the horizontal and vertical lines.
Although he doesn't understand chess theory, he still doesn't think that the chess pieces fall into the empty spaces.
Seeing this scene, Zinu Chunshan's beautiful eyes under her dark eyebrows were slightly focused, and she couldn't help but raise her eyebrows, "With a gold-edged silver horn grass belly, it's really rare for the gentleman to land his son in Tianyuan in the first step."
Regarding Zi Nu's statement, Zheng Zeneng roughly understood the meaning and said casually: "Maybe it's because I have a soft spot for belly. It's your turn."
The purple girl's eyes moved slightly and her beautiful eyebrows furrowed slightly, "My chess skills are not good, so I won't show my shame in front of your husband."
He took out a black chess piece from the chess box again, "How can you know if your opponent is weaker than you without giving it a try? Moreover, the start of a chess game does not necessarily require the consent of the chess players. Zilanxuan is located in Xinzheng
Can you get out of this chess game?"
The meaning behind the words caused a flash of thought to appear in the purple girl's eyes, and her pretty purple lips pursed lightly, no longer refusing.
Sister Yu raised her frost-like bright wrist, her fingers were delicate and slender, and decorated with lavender cinnamon, they looked beautiful and capable.
Lifting up the white piece, it landed on the chessboard almost without hesitation, occupying one side of the chess surface.
Seeing this, Zheng Ze didn't say much and just made the move. However, his demeanor and movements, including the choice of moves, seemed a bit careless.
Zi Nu glanced at him in confusion, didn't ask any more questions, and continued to play according to her knowledge of chess theory.
Seeing that Zheng Ze was following up at a faster speed, Zi Nu raised her wrist and continued to play chess. Soon, their hands almost stopped, and the black and white chess pieces continued to fall on the wooden board above, making crisp sounds.
The clear black and white chess pieces quickly filled the chess surface. As they continued to place pieces, the door of the elegant room was gently pushed open, and a gentle figure of Shu Ning walked in.
Seeing the seemingly inextricable chess game between the two, a look of curiosity flashed across Nong Yu's face. She walked between the two and sat down, looking at the chess surface to analyze the starting situation.
In Zilanxuan, she is not only an expert in piano music, but her chess skills are also superior to Zi Nu's sister.
But at a glance, the result made her calm heart a little turbulent. No matter how you looked at it, this chess game did not look like a game played by masters.
I saw one side working steadily and steadily, while the other side had no rules and did whatever it wanted... Actually, it's a bit flattering to describe it this way. It simply means that they can't do anything!
Nongyu raised her head and looked at Zheng Ze in confusion. If she didn't know how to play, then why did she play this meaningless game of chess?
When the chess piece in his hand had nowhere to fall, Zheng Ze threw it back into the box, raised his head and looked at Zi Nu, only to see the mature Yu Jie looking at him as well.
"Zi Nu shouldn't question your husband's words." Zi Nu shook her head and smiled softly, apologizing for thinking that Zheng Ze's words that she didn't know were false.
Zheng Ze smiled easily at Zi Nu's evasive words. This mature lady simply wanted to alleviate the embarrassment of not being able to play chess and losing.
"Let me just say, if you don't give it a try, how will you know whether the result is as you imagined?" Zheng Ze said softly.
Her chess-playing style just now revealed her true thoughts. She was steady yet adventurous, cautious yet aggressive.
"Sir, what he said makes sense." Zi Nu nodded, not denying what he said.
As for whether she was really convinced by him, only she knows.
Zheng Ze shook his head, put his hand in the box, and looked at the rich granary wrapped in purple clothes, "I am also impressed by the principles of the purple girl."
Zi Nu has always been keenly aware of other people's gazes, and there is nothing rude about just a glance. She just puts her lotus arms in front of her chest and props them up on the case.
"Sir, do you know that this Confucian head disciple is proficient in chess skills, and few people can defeat him in a chess game. At least, I have never heard of it." Zi Nu said slowly.
As for the forces that appeared in Xinzheng, she naturally learned more about these people in order to cope with subsequent changes in the situation.
Of course Zheng Ze knew that Fu Nian was an excellent chess player. After all, he could play against both Yan Lu and Zhang Liang at the same time. How could he be any worse?
Nodding, "The purple girl is watching how I can win against him."
Zi Nu disagreed with Zheng Ze's words. She controlled the expression on her face very well and did not show any hesitation. She just said, "Then Zi Nu will wait and see."
Purple eyes looked at Liubo, she was actually a little curious about what Zheng Ze would choose.
Perhaps not only her, but also the eyes of many people in Xinzheng will focus here. A revolution in books and etiquette may begin from here.
Skipping the purple girl, Zheng Ze didn't look at her again. Next to her, Nongyu was wearing a long gold silk moonlight dress, with gold silk buckles around her slender shoulders, and her hair was coiled around her temples like watery hibiscus.
The turquoise hairpin matched with the necklace that lifted her breasts, making her delicate skin even more plump and white.
"Do you think I will win?" Zheng Ze asked with a smile. When talking to Nongyu, he was no longer so strict and formal.
Nong Yu was also used to his directness. She glanced at the chess game that was really unsightly and shook her head slightly, "Confucian people are not like me and Sister Zinu. In Zilanxuan, a game of chess is just for entertainment."
But in their eyes, it may be the world."
Zi Nu looked at Nongyu with a slightly surprised look in her eyes. She tried her best to provide Nongyu with a carefree environment, so she tried her best to resist the external affairs and did not bring those into Zilanxuan.
middle.
She didn't doubt that Nong Yu had the wisdom to express such an insight, but it needed to be supported by enough knowledge, so... was it because of him?
Zi Nu's eyes moved sideways and landed on Zheng Ze.
He nodded slightly, with a smile on his face, "Yes, more honest than your purple sister."
Hearing this, Nong Yu's charming face was natural, she raised her bright wrist to pick up the black stones on the chessboard, and her voice as gentle as water could penetrate into other people's hearts.
"If you want to learn chess, I can teach you. With your intelligence, you will definitely be able to achieve something soon."
Nong Yu has no doubts about Zheng Ze's ability at all. Trust is accumulated bit by bit. From an ordinary guest who glanced at him in the lobby, to now a guest of Zilan Xuan who needs to pay enough attention to him, Nong Yu
Jade witnessed the entire process.
Zinu looked at Nong Yu and then Zheng Ze with a half-smiling expression, "I've never seen Nong Yu take the initiative to teach someone how to play chess!"
Listening to Zi Nu's joking words, Nong Yu raised her arms and looked at her angrily, "Sister!"
It was just a joke in private before, but why is it still in front of others? In her opinion, maybe Mr. Zheng Ze just treats her as a younger sister, well, the younger sister of his nephew.
It should be normal for siblings to hold hands and touch their faces, right?
Zheng Ze didn't say anything, and just watched from the sidelines as these two beauties with very different styles exchanged beautiful glances, with a different charm evident between them.
If time could continue to be quiet like this, without the undercurrents surging and dangerous outside, this scene would undoubtedly be pleasing to the eye. At least the mood of the two beauties would be relaxed and happy at this moment.
However, Sister Yu still had enough sense and quickly pulled out of the storm and looked at Zheng Ze, "According to the time, the Confucian people were almost here, so Zi Nu went there first to avoid making people feel lost.
Etiquette."
Zheng Ze nodded. The location was decided on her place. Of course she had to take Zilanxuan's reputation into consideration, and it was also related to Zilanxuan's future business.
When she closed the door of the private room, Zheng Ze watched as Nong Yu carefully picked out the black stones from the messy chess game and placed them in the box at his hand.
There is a calm and natural look on Yue Mao's beautiful face, and her eyes that conceal the joy of the moon make her incomparably otherworldly. He likes the jade eyebrows very much, which always gives people a very comfortable feeling. The flow of water stops, and the fairy voice condenses.
"You haven't said yet, do you want to learn chess?" Nong Yu did not look at him, but concentrated on cleaning up the messy "battlefield" for him.
Just her serious side profile added a heart-warming charm to her beautiful face.
Zheng Ze's lips moved slightly and he said slowly: "You want me to learn?"
Nong Yu didn't express his hope, but just said: "In the chess game of scholars and officials, the world is all in play. There is no harm in learning from it."
She felt that Zheng Ze would eventually have to move among celebrities in the future, and with such a chess skill, he would inevitably be looked down upon by others.
Zheng Ze pursed his lips, but looked at Nong Yu's charming face and did not answer.
No longer calling herself "Yu'er", Nong Yu has gradually adapted to the situation after the initial socialization. I can't tell if this kind of character is genuine, but it does give people a gentle and soft feeling.
.
Seeing that Zheng Ze was silent for a long time, Nong Yu put away the last black chess piece and looked at him with slightly surprised eyes.
Facing the girl's questioning look, Zheng Ze just smiled softly, raised his hand and knocked on the chessboard. In an instant, all the white stones on it jumped to the same height. As Zheng Ze waved his sleeves, they were all swept in.
In the chess box opposite.
Seeing this scene, Nong Yu's beautiful eyes flashed with surprise. This control of the inner breath is not easy!
"The guests are coming."
Hearing Zheng Ze's voice, Nong Yu's beautiful eyebrows narrowed slightly. She suppressed her thoughts for the time being and nodded lightly.
Not long after Zheng Ze finished speaking, the door to the private room was pushed open again, and two men in formal Confucian attire walked in under the guidance of Zi Nu.
After introducing the two of them, Zi Nu did not follow. Yidu bowed naturally and gently closed the door for them.
Cheng She's layout in the private room came into view, but their eyes immediately caught the comfortable and contented figure sitting in front of the desk by the window.
"Confucian Fu Nian, I have met Mr. Zheng Ze." Instead of looking around, he walked up to Zheng Ze and saluted him.
Logically speaking, Zheng Ze should stand up and show the same respect in return.
However, he just raised his hand and said, "Mr. Fu Nian, please sit down."
Just the few glances you see when you come in can make people unconsciously label this Confucian leader disciple as decent!
The upright Fu Nian didn't show anything strange about Zheng Ze's slight contempt. He just nodded and sat in front of him as he was told.
The people accompanying him stood behind him without saying a word.
"Fu Nian took the liberty of visiting, sir..."
Before he could finish speaking, Zheng Ze smiled softly and interrupted his Confucian words.
"Did Confucianism come for papermaking?" he said slowly.
"This..." Young Fu Nian didn't expect the other party to be so direct. The topic he originally prepared was to exchange polite greetings first, and then start with "Warring States Policy" to discuss it in detail, sharing his understanding with the original
The authors' understandings reflect each other, which brings them closer to each other. Let's talk about the art of papermaking.
But Mr. Zheng Ze's approach of skipping foreplay and going directly into the hole makes people feel dry and stagnant, which is a bit difficult to adapt to.
However, he did not show any signs of losing his composure and nodded calmly, "Sir, you are right. Fu Nian is here to make paper. It is of great significance to Confucianism. If you wish, sir..."
For this last step, he has also done sufficient work. From small profits to great righteousness, resource temptation and moral kidnapping, he has a complete set of theories.
But Zheng Ze didn't give him a chance, "I can give you the papermaking technology for free."
Fu Nian was not upset about not being able to finish his sentence again, but was just a little stunned.
Not only is it uncomfortable to go directly to the last step, but it comes out in less than three seconds. Isn't it a bit difficult to understand?
But Fu Nian still controlled his words and deeds very well, "Sir, do you really mean what you said?"
Coming to South Korea as a representative of Confucianism to discuss this matter was a confirmation of Master's expectations for him, but he did not expect that things would be so simple.
"Can I still tease you?" Zheng Ze said casually, "These things are not important. You only live once. Mr. Fu Nian has come all the way, how can I not entertain him well?"
As he spoke, he gave a high-five, and the door of the private room was slowly pushed open. Immediately, the figures of delicate moths with colorful flowers filed in, and the clouds piled up in green buns, as if flowers were blooming here, with pink and willow green.
Seeing the graceful women standing in a row in the private room, Fu Nian felt a little uncomfortable. After getting to know Zilanxuan, he was a little hesitant about this meeting place, and the scene in front of him made him even more worried.
A few points.
"Sir, what is this?"
Zheng Ze unabashedly admired the beauties of Zilanxuan. It should be said that every beautiful woman here has her own characteristics. Some have unparalleled looks, some have hot buttocks, some have plump granaries, or some have legs.
Such as cutting...
In short, none of them are inferior to the so-called stars in their previous lives.
"These are the most beautiful women in Zilanxuan. Mr. Fu Nian can choose as he pleases. I will pay for today's consumption!" Zheng Ze said happily.
He pays the bill and Zi Nu pays, a win-win situation.
Looking at the charming and beautiful beauties of all colors, the originally sunny private room gives people the illusion of being colorful.
Fu Nian calmed down and looked back at Zheng Ze, "Sir... it's not necessary. It is really against the way of a saint."
