Unlike the empty Dunhuang in Liangzhou, Luoyang is densely populated near Luoyang. Not to mention pheasants, not even a chicken feather can be found. Hunting is out of the question, the only option is to retreat and gallop. It is the first day of the sun, not very bright. In the hot weather, the two of them rode for an hour before stopping at a wine shop by the Luoshui River. They were about to go in and order a few red carps and fill their bellies with several buckets of fine wine. Unexpectedly, they bumped into Zang Hong and his party, including Chen Yi, whom he was familiar with. , Zhang Hong and others, and the rest are all students from Xuzhou, who were originally from the same hometown having a drink.
Just as he was hesitating whether to go in, Zang Hong spotted him with his sharp eyes. A gust of wind came running, bypassed Gai Jun, and circled around Tayun. He said: "Compared with Tayun, my horse is really unsightly. It's so good." It can be said that a horse is hard to find." One hundred gold means one hundred catties of gold. Since ancient times, it has been said that one gold and ten thousand coins are said. This is just an imaginary number. Today, one catty and sixteen taels can be exchanged for more than one thousand three hundred coins. Therefore, one kilogram of gold is more than 20,000 yuan. One hundred kilograms of gold is equivalent to two million yuan. In normal years, one stone of grain is worth more than one hundred copper coins. One kilogram of beef and mutton is worth several to ten yuan. One cow and horse are only three to five thousand to one yuan. Thousands of dollars, but now the horse trade is monopolized by wealthy families from the frontier. Coupled with the inflation of prices, the price of an ordinary horse in the capital has increased to more than 100,000, and the number of good horses has increased to hundreds of thousands. So what Zang Hong said is like stepping on the clouds. It is not an exaggeration to say that a good horse from the Western Regions is worth a hundred gold.
Zang Hong reluctantly left Tayun and dragged Gai Jun into the wine shop.
Gai Jun said as he walked: "Why didn't Ziyuan drink wine at Zuixiangfang and come here instead?"
"How can we meet Ziying in Zuixiangfang? Haha, let's talk and laugh. The fish soup here is unique in Kyoto and is famous far and wide." Zang Hongyan finished and looked sideways at his riding whip and leather boots, and joked: "Ziying doesn't have a headache. Can you ride a horse even if you have a headache?"
Behind him, Gai Yin was confused.
"just."
"What's the headache?" Zhang Hong, Chen Yi and others stood up to greet them, and they were equally puzzled by their questions and answers.
Zang Hong told the story in a more embellished way, making everyone in the room laugh.
Instead, Gai Jun sat down and said seriously: "Did you know that when I was twelve years old, I accidentally fell off a horse and injured my head, and almost suffered misfortune?"
This incident had already spread throughout the world along with his reputation. How could everyone not know about it? They immediately put away their smiles and listened quietly to the follow-up.
"Although I was lucky enough to escape the disaster, the root of my illness started. I often have splitting headaches. The only way to relieve the pain is to sit on a horse."
"..."
Everyone looked at each other and couldn't tell the truth from the lies. Gai Yin knew the details but didn't dare to tell them.
Gai Jun pretended to drink, but finally couldn't help but sneer and spit out all the wine in one gulp.
When everyone knew that he was deliberately teasing, they immediately became furious and surrounded him with cups. Zang Hong had learned a painful lesson, so how could he dare to fight with him for a drink? He took Zhang Hong and hid aside to watch the jokes of his friends. Chen Yi was not stupid either. , drink a drink and immediately withdraw from the crowd.
As expected, those few people were no match. They were all defeated by Gai Jun in less than half an hour. He was seen sitting in the middle of a group of drunkards, slowly drinking the last glass of wine, shaking his clothes, and walking calmly towards Zang Hong and others. Let's go, it looks like it won't be a problem to fight another round.
Zang Hong and Zhang Hong lost in the chess game here. Seeing Gai Jun coming over, he rolled his eyes and said, "Ziying knows how to play chess? How about playing a game with me?" He thought that since he couldn't handle drinking, he would start from other players. To regain the situation.
Go...
"I'm not very proficient in chess, so let it go." Gai Jun said hesitantly. He often played Go in his previous life, but as for his level... he repeatedly lost and fought in the online novice zone. Of course, his first choice was Doudizhu. , only when you are tired of playing Landlord will you play a game or two to pass the time. Nowadays, Go is even less interesting. Firstly, the board has only seventeen vertical and horizontal lines, and there are regulations such as seats, which is quite boring. Secondly, the chess pieces are actually It is wooden and square, and has no beauty at all compared with later generations. Sanlai Go has not yet risen to the level of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. On the contrary, the evaluation has never been high. Jia Yi of the Western Han Dynasty said: "It is disrespectful to follow the style of Go." He He believes that Go is something that disrupts etiquette and destroys folk customs. Ancient China has always attached great importance to the etiquette of elders and younger ones, and on the chessboard, both sides are equal. The prevalence of this concept is certainly a disrespectful act in the eyes of Jia Yi. Du Ling of the Western Han Dynasty Du Fuzi was good at playing chess and was the best in the world, and he was also ridiculed by the world. Another reason why Go is not popular is that it is regarded as a game, that is, used for gambling. Since Ban Gu in the Eastern Han Dynasty, Li You, Huang Xian, Ma Rong, etc. The great Confucian scholars successively affirmed Go, which freed it from the concept of gambling. However, the reputation of playing with things and losing one's ambition has not been taken off. Gai Xun and his wife imitated Ma Rong in everything, except that Go was unwilling to touch, so he played the game in this life There are only a handful of people left, and only a little bit of experience from the previous life is left. How can we not be timid?
Zang Hong was worried, but his face remained calm: "Don't shirk the problem of being good or not. Besides, I'm not a good player either. What are you afraid of?"
Gai Jun was furious at being squeezed. He thought that since I knew all the changes in the chess game, he might not be my opponent, so he agreed. The idea was good, but unfortunately it was far from reality. Although he occasionally had strange moves, Zang Hong couldn't. Motivated, he pressed forward step by step, chasing and fighting fiercely. When he saw that he was about to throw in the pieces just after a hundred moves, he was unwilling to give up. When he made the move, his sleeves deliberately swept dozens of chess pieces on the Frisbee, but his face pretended to be displeased. Look carefully.
His naked and shameless behavior even made his nephew Gai Yin blush with embarrassment.
Zang Hong narrowed his eyes slightly, half smiling.
Zhang Hong, who had been paying attention to the chess game, laughed dumbly and said: "Ziying thinks everything will be fine?"
Gai Jun looked innocent, but in his heart he thought: What can you do to me?
"Gong Shang, restore the chess pieces for me." Zang Hong gave the order, and Gai Jun looked at Chen Ni in disbelief as he put the chess pieces back into place one by one.
Damn it, is it really fake?
After a while, Chen Ni pointed at the restored chessboard and asked with a smile: "Ziying, just take a look, okay?"
Gai Jun snorted coldly and said harshly: "You are fellow villagers, so what you say is right."
"..."
Chen Yi did not argue with him, cleared all the black and white stones on the board, and replaced the stones one by one.
Can he still make a comeback?
Chen Yi's movements were so fast that he was not allowed to think too much. Even he, a chess player, could not remember some of the steps. It was not until Chen Yi recovered that he suddenly remembered them. Seeing that it was back to the middle of the game without any mistakes, he simply raised his hand. Surrender: "Sir, please stop, I will just admit defeat."
Zhang Hong said with a smile: "Ziying didn't know that Gong Shang really has the ability to have a photographic memory."
Zang Hong smiled extremely proudly, as if it was him who had never forgotten him.
Ignoring Zang Hong's "little man succeeds", Gai Jun was greatly moved by what Zhang Hong said. People who know how to review the story say it is more or less, but photographic memory has been extremely rare in ancient and modern times. .In my impression, there are numerous talents in the Three Kingdoms, but only one or two people have this ability.
He sincerely praised: "Gong Shang is truly a genius in the world."
"Hey, Ziying is here too?"
Hearing someone calling his name, Gai Jun turned around and looked back, and saw Suo Zhan and two young scholars walking into the wine shop side by side. He jumped up and said, "Brother Suo, why are you here?");.
