The luncheon was held at the mansion in the old section of Elephant Trunk Hutong. This was He Qi's first time here. When he first arrived, he saw a simple plaque hanging on the lintel. The front door was bright and clean, and there was no stone lion to guard the house of a wealthy family. The bright red
The door is made of lacquered wood and has copper nails. If you pass by the door, it is just an ordinary door.
Lao Duan is known as "Six Nos", which seems to be in line with his personality.
After entering the courtyard, I suddenly had a different sense. The courtyard is very large. To say it has pavilions and pavilions is an exaggeration, but there are rockeries, running water, and green bamboos surrounding it. Although He Qi couldn't see the doorway, he knew there was a cave.
Since Go is a small circle, today's luncheon is not large in scale. It is all people in the circle. He Qi has more or less contact with most of them, and the topics discussed during the dinner are all related to Go.
, so it is not very restrictive.
Lao Duan also made a suggestion at the wine table. He and Mr. Zhang Danru would take the lead, and the rest of the people who had money and ability would contribute their efforts to unite the Go community in the south and establish a national Go team based on the "Top 20 Tournament".
Go tournament.
There has never been a national competition in Chinese Go, which has resulted in Go being limited to a small circle. By holding competitions, we can expand the popularity of Go and allow more people to participate, so that new forces will join. This
The proposal was unanimously approved.
So who will host the competition?
After everyone discussed, it was decided to establish the Chinese Go Association to raise funds for the competition. The first president was Lao Duan, the vice president was Mr. Zhang Danru, and three directors were selected. He Qi was recommended as one of them.
.
The Go Association is a non-governmental organization and the government will not provide financial support. Therefore, Lao Duan and Mr. Zhang Danru are the biggest financial backers. It is natural that they should serve as presidents, but that is not how things are done.
How could anyone just make a hasty decision in private and settle the matter without the consent of the southern Go community?
Mr. Songpo said: "My name is Songpo, but I don't love pines. Pines are grown and nourished by mountains and rocks, making them strong and strong. However, my body is weak and does not match it. Although pines and bamboos are evergreen, it is difficult to say that I love houses and crows."
He Qi frowned, leaned back, and watched what happened.
There are not only bamboos in the courtyard, but also several wintersweet flowers, which bloom in the coldest month of winter. Their fragrance dances with the flying snow. General Songpa stood in front of the bamboos and stared quietly, his thoughts lingering in his heart. Unfortunately, the bamboos were too short.
Now, I can't hear the sound of jade breaking.
Snowflakes were flying in the sky, and there were scattered white spots in his black hair. He Qi knew that he was not in good health, so he pointed to a pavilion not far away and stretched out his hand to signal: "It's snowing, so let's go to the pavilion to talk."
He Qi also found an excuse and got away from the table. He happened to come to the courtyard at this time. Seeing Mr. Songpo admiring bamboo, he went to talk to him and said softly: "General Songpo, you are in such a good mood."
He turned around and looked back and saw it was He Qi. He was startled for a moment because He Qi always seemed to be avoiding something. Then he suddenly smiled and said: "You have had close contact with De Qian and the others, and De Qian is Mr. Taiyan's apprentice, so you are not afraid."
'Love the house and the bird', is it said?"
"In ancient times, Wang Hui loved bamboo. Today, Mr. Songpo loves bamboo. Both pines and bamboos are evergreen, and he loves houses and crows. Mr. Songpo, is this the right?" Yang Shiqi asked.
He Qi had a lot to say, but after thinking about it, he still held it back. This is probably a style inherited from the same lineage!!
People at the table were all making suggestions for Chinese Go, while He Qi was less talkative. She leaned on her chair, ate a few bites of food, drank a sip of wine, and then looked out the window at the falling snow.
General Songpo nodded, sniffing the fragrance of wintersweet, fascinated, and in a trance, his thoughts flew to the south of Caiyun, and suddenly looked at He Qi, saying: "I heard you say before, standing by the river, thinking about whether to
Crossing the river, you went to the West and I went to the Dongyi, so according to your opinion, did the Dongyi cross the river?"
He Qi quoted de Gaulle and described: "A sinister and cunning cruel nation, cruel to themselves and even crueler to others. At the same time, this nation is very powerful, and its crazy bloodthirsty level is similar to the vampire Dracula in the European Middle Ages.
Once he sees the weakness, his throat will be bitten by him immediately."
General Songpo agreed with this statement and continued: "Yubai, have you been to Dongyi?"
Then he asked: "Mr. Xingcheng, lovely Xing?"
This is to say that He Qi, like Yang Shiqi, is both good at calculating. He Qi shook his head and said with a smile: "I just saw the general sitting facing the wintersweet."
General Songpa then asked: "What kind of nation does Yubai think Dongyi is?"
He Qi said: "The body has crossed the river, but the head is still on the other side of the river?"
General Songpa glanced in surprise: "Are all of you who are good at Go like this?"
The emperor's constitution of Dongyi is different from that of the West. Their emperor still holds power, but it is restricted by the parliament. He is not a so-called mascot. General Songpa, who has lived in Dongyi for a long time, naturally knows that, so the rise of Dongyi is
The body becomes stubborn.
General Songpo's eyes flashed, and he became more and more interested, so he asked again: "I am in Peking and I have nothing on my body. Why do I call myself General alone?"
Lao Duan was a little dissatisfied with Yang Shiqi's insinuations, but he didn't say anything.
He Qi shook his head and said, "I haven't been there."
Indeed, as General Songpo said, since he issued a statement in support of Lao Yuan, a lot of people have scolded him, and there are many people who have cursed him for an early death. He Qi also smiled and said: "Guan Yunchang has also been scolded."
?”
"Mr. Duan, I'm not in good health and can't drink, so I won't sit here and ruin everyone's fun. When I came here, I saw bamboo in the courtyard. I love bamboo most in my life. I want to go and enjoy it. Please forgive me."
General Songpa had a smile on his face when he spoke.
General Songpo was in poor health and only drank a glass of wine. Old Duan arranged to sit on the left side, which is the VIP seat. He Qi sat below General Songpo, and Yang Shiqi sat on the right side of Old Duan in the friend seat.
The two of them have been old colleagues for a long time.
Lao Duan didn't give Yang Shiqi a chance to speak, and said: "Xingcheng doesn't love Xing. He is the best at chess. The next move depends on five moves. I have played chess with him for more than ten years, and nine out of ten losers. Song
Mr. Poe, go ahead."
There were no walls around the pavilion. He Qi invited General Songpo to sit facing the bamboo, but General Songpo sat facing the wintersweet, with bamboo on the side. He Qi said: "Bamboo is good, but the fragrance of plum is more moving."
.”
Faced with such a to-the-point evaluation, General Songpo was stunned again and asked curiously: "Since you have never been to Dongyi, why do you know so much about it?"
He Qidao: "When you look at a small nation, it is like a person, and a person's habits are not developed in a day. Looking at the history of Dongyi, it is not difficult to find out."
"The Japanese plague has not been eliminated, and the family and the country are in trouble. Ahem." General Songpo coughed a few times, spat a mouthful of red saliva into the snow, turned to look at He Qi, and said feebly: "The courage of an ordinary man is also
No energy left."
He Qi wanted to say a few more words, but unfortunately, someone came and the conversation had to be stopped midway.
