Zuo Qiuchi tried a quicksand bag, and she was so satisfied that her eyebrows stretched out. She nodded in approval and said:
"Where did you buy it? It's delicious. I've visited so many places and never tried it."
"I did it!" Chu Mingkong said without blushing, "I happened to see the rules for solving chess games, and I thought of similar stories I've heard before. Let me tell you for fun?"
"Alright, tell me, what's the name of the story?"
""Dragon and Babu: Zhenlong Chess Game", do you want me to change the protagonist's name to yours?" Chu Mingkong had memorized a Zhenlong chess record back then, so he called a beautiful and refined maid over, He ordered: "Bring the chess pieces over here."
"Change to my name? That's fine." Zuo Qiuchi thought it was just for fun anyway, "But do you really want to set up a chess game? Don't be so troublesome, I can understand a little bit of chess, if you play well No three no four, I solved it all at once, and I lost my feeling when I heard the story."
Treat her as the protagonist of the story, but in reality, she solved the chess game in two or three moves. The Zuo Qiuchi in the story didn't solve the chess game for a long time, and it sounded like a hammer.
Chu Mingkong refused to accept it: "You successfully provoked me."
Chapter 98 Another Village (4/5)
Some people really do things with the help of gods, and they get started very quickly. Zuo Qiuchi didn't like to play chess. At that time, learning chess was just a whim.
Chu Mingkong arranged according to the Zhenlong chess record in his memory, stretched out his hand and made a gesture of invitation, and said:
"Try it."
Zuo Qiuchi looked at it again and again, and was really stumped, but she didn't have much interest in studying the chess game. After confirming that the endgame was reasonable, and she couldn't solve it all at once, she stopped thinking about it.
"Okay, this chess game is okay, I won't ponder it too deeply, lest listening to your story be boring."
Chu Mingkong didn't expose her, and defended his master's fragile face and dignity. If he told her that it would be bad to be impatient, he took out some pastries.
The Zhenlong chess game in this novel is actually unreasonable. It conflicts with the rules of chess at that time. Later generations have set up reference chess records, and it can only be realized by modifying certain rules, but fortunately here In the world, the way to play Go is similar, but without some rules and constraints, it can make the Zhenlong chess record that Chu Mingkong saw in the past established.
The plot in "Dragon and Babu" can be summed up in one sentence. It is that a gangster set up a Zhenlong chess game, and whoever can solve it can gain his life's skills. Many famous people from the rivers and lakes came to challenge and failed.
So Shuang Dian appeared, an unknown little monk came over, solved the problem that even the top people in the world could not solve, and obtained the lifetime skills of a big man in a daze.
However, in the original book, the author used this plot more to show the different personalities of the protagonists of several group portraits. Those who refuse to abandon their sons and lose power cannot be solved. Only the little monk abandoned a large piece of chess of his own and instead revived it. Playing this game of chess gives people a thinking of "gain is loss, loss is gain".
It is so cool, it adds thinking to the writing, and sublimates the coolness.
However, Chu Mingkong secretly stuffed some private goods. First, he gave a character a prerequisite for action—the apprentice was poisoned by a strange poison in the world, but the master Zuo Qiuchi tried to solve the Zhenlong chess game in order to find a famous doctor for the apprentice.
On the basis of this premise, the twists and turns of the plot are immediately added-the famous doctor in the world has no intention of saving people, but only wants to pass on the mantle in his twilight years, and he will die soon.
This makes the story tense, the famous doctor is dying, there is no time for Zuo Qiuchi to study the art of chess, and slowly solve the problem!
Zuo Qiuchi listened to the story told by Chu Mingkong, and nodded from time to time, because the protagonist's name was her, and she had been running around to heal Chu Mingkong for a long time before, this story sounded quite substituting!
It's cool!
Chu Mingkong was under the table, taking advantage of her focus on the story, quietly held her jade hand, satisfied in his heart, he said in a melodious tone:
"...In this move, Zuo Qiuchi lost a large piece of chess. It was as if the country was overturned. The people around sighed secretly, and it was another dead chess. It seems that no one can break this chess game today!
But someone suddenly said, no, this move is dead, but not completely dead, just like a strong man who broke his wrist and can play chess again!It's really 'the mountain is heavy and the river is full of doubts, there is no way out, and the willows are dark and the flowers are bright and another village'!
When the doctor saw this, his 30-year wish was fulfilled. Unexpectedly, the Zhenlong chess game, which has troubled so many celebrities and great talents in the world of cultivators, was solved by Zuo Qiuchi, who had only learned chess for a long time.
The envy of everyone, the jealous one, sucked a mouthful of Liangpi at that time, this woman is so terrifying! "
Chu Mingkong picked up a piece of snack and fed it to Zuo Qiuchi's mouth. Zuo Qiuchi was happy to hear it, and when he saw his hand holding the snack, he wanted to scold him, "What do you want to eat? Hurry up and finish the story before eating!" .
What?Give me something to eat, that's fine.
Chu Mingkong picked up the teacup she had drunk, took a sip of tea, and knew that it was time to lay the groundwork, and he had to make Zuo Qiuchi's character more indifferent to fame and fortune:
"You Da Neng tried to make friends in the past and invited her to be the guest of the sect, but Zuo Qiuchi refused. She did not feel happy at all when she got the life-long skills of a famous doctor. She only wanted to save her apprentice as soon as possible in her heart. So he searched in his mind for some medical skills that could save his apprentice Xiao Chu.
A solemn look suddenly appeared on her face, after struggling with heaven and man in her heart, she left this place and went back to heal her apprentice. "
Originally, later on, it was time for Chu Mingkong to stuff his private goods. Zuo Qiuchi discovered from the skills of famous doctors that the only thing that could save Xiao Chu was the technique of dual cultivation!
but,
Can't go on.
Because there are too many people around, if the follow-up of double cultivation is mentioned, the intention will be too obvious.
Chu Ming said it was a pity, if he had known earlier, he would not have used Zuo Qiuchi's name, but changed it to Zhang Qiuchi, Zuo Chiqiu or something.
While he was telling the story, those prostitutes around who were entangled in the chess game and wanted to win the favor of Qingmei Huakui were unknowingly attracted by the story told by Chu Mingkong, gathered to listen to the story, and forgot about Huakui .
A strange hand stretched out to take the pastry on Chu Mingkong's table. The appearance of the pastry was appetizing, and Chu Mingkong slapped it away.
"Who is Ning? If you touch it, my friend won't be interested in eating it."
"My friend, the layout is too small. It's just a dim sum." The man who spoke asked the maid, "Give me two servings of this dim sum."
The maid said in embarrassment: "No, this snack was brought by these two guests."
man:"......"
Someone urged: "Follow-up, why is this Fairy Zuo showing a dignified expression? Has her apprentice been cured?"
Originally, if there were not so many people, Chu Mingkong would directly say that it was Shuangxiu who came to test Zuo Qiuchi's reaction.
Well now...
"I didn't think about it." Chu Mingkong said coldly.
Zuo Qiuchi also urged: "Then think about it quickly!"
Chu Mingkong replied enthusiastically: "Naturally, I will tell you after I go back!"
This change in attitude made the people around them call it awesome.
Others come to the oiran courtyard to please the oiran, and the bomei smiles to win the favor of the oiran lady, why does this person bring his own girl in to please the oiran!
Huakui Qingmei mainly focuses on poetry, and most of the literati came. These scholars couldn't help recalling the story Chu Mingkong told just now. They were nervous and exciting, and they thought about it with a bit of "willing and rewarding" philosophy of life, interspersed with The phrase "...no doubt,...another village" is also very touching.
After helping Chu Mingkong bring the chessboard, the beautiful maid was thinking about his endgame and listening to the story he told, she was extremely surprised.she asked:
"It's quite interesting to listen to the story and watch the chess game. And where did the poem in the middle come from?"
Chu Mingkong threw out the old answer: "I heard it from Xiling Street."
Chapter 99 Who are you? (5/5)
This beautiful and refined maid is Qingmei, the oiran of this small courtyard.
After Chu Mingkong entered the Jiaofang Division, the bustard was worried that this unreasonable person would really seek out Qingmei, and then got angry and chopped Qingmei up for no reason, so when Chu Mingkong went to find the Han sisters, The old bustard went to remind Qing Mei not to show her face, she had better pretend to be sick.
But when Qingmei heard that the prince of Xiling was coming, she was also quite curious about this person, so she appeared in yellow-faced makeup, changed her hairstyle, and pretended to be a maid to move about in the small courtyard.In this way, if Chu Mingkong came, she would be able to see what kind of person this was at a close distance without being targeted by him.
Therefore, today's Dachawei problem is extremely difficult. They just found the endgame chess record temporarily to make things difficult, and then let their maid play the piano in the curtain with all the make-up.
As a result, Qingmei waited for a handsome young man with a gentle temper to tell a story to a beautiful woman dressed as a man, to make her happy, completely ignoring the oiran here, thinking about it wholeheartedly that girl.
Most of the people like this were called by other oirans to mess things up, turning her romantic place into a teahouse storytelling place.
But he told the story really well, with ups and downs, and there were poems that he had never heard of in the story, and he even added a Zhenlong chess game in the story!
This rare chess game, after Qingmei has seen it carefully, is really as described in the story, with endless dangers, a myriad of weather, and calamity within calamity, both living together and longevity, counterattacking or withdrawing energy, flowers gather and six , It's extremely complicated!
She likes that line of poem very much, because her surname is Liu, and this young man must have come to her "Rusi Small Courtyard" specially to tell this story and read this line of poem, right?
Although this pair of handsome men and women messed up her daily life in the small courtyard, Qing Mei felt that it was not a loss. It was the first time that she saw someone who could tell stories so well!
She went back to the small courtyard for the time being, washed off the yellow powder on her face, and didn't apply any makeup, because she was afraid that the young man outside would leave, so in a hurry, she just fixed her bun and hurried back to the tea paddock.
This time her appearance was much more eye-catching. Although she was only dressed as a simple maid, and her face was not powdered, her bright and clean skin was enough to catch the eye. Blood, bright and bright.
A pair of star-like beautiful eyes are not too charming, they are as fresh as chrysanthemums and bamboos, but they can bloom with thousands of charms with a slight smile, worthy of the reputation of the oiran.
Only then did Qing Mei formally introduce herself to Chu Mingkong and Zuo Qiuchi, apologizing for Cai Cai's "hiding his name".Although Chu Mingkong didn't follow the rules of this tea circle at all, he had already won Qingmei's attention.
"Qing Mei wants to invite the young master to the room to talk about the story of Caicai in detail, but I don't know what to call the young master?"
Seeing this, the nearby literati and bachelors were very annoyed. Today is considered a fall short. I didn't expect that someone would find another way to win Qingmei's favor!
"Just now, I felt that the maid was unfamiliar, with a good temperament, and a somewhat familiar face, but my attention was all on solving the chess game. I didn't think about it. I knew that I would directly invite the maid pretending to be Qingmei."
"Is this considered a bad rule? He hasn't solved the chess game given by Miss Qingmei, so he just told a story and passed the level?"
"You know what? Miss Qingmei gave us only one corner of the chess game. She specially made up the entire chess board for this story. It is not difficult to unravel the chess power? That poem has nothing to do with chess. But with this story, it’s wonderful!”
"It's true. Although he said he heard it from Xiling Street, but if this kind of perfect story was really obtained from the street, it would have been famous all over the country long ago. It is impossible for it to remain unknown!"
Although these people are jealous that Chu Mingkong has won the favor of the oiran, they are not convinced. Besides, they would have a headache enough to solve the mess. As a consolation, finding a maid to sleep is the same.
They calmed down the regret in their hearts, and pricked up their ears to hear who this young master is. Obviously, it was the first time they came back to the "So I heard" small courtyard to see Qingmei's stranger, a rare person!
Seeing so many people staring at him again, Chu Mingkong was so embarrassed that he didn't want to declare his family name... It felt strange to be famous in the romantic place.
Zuo Qiuchi whispered: "Hurry up and report your name, I want to hug the oiran, quickly take me in and continue telling the story!"
As the saying goes, as long as others are embarrassing along with you, then you will not be embarrassing yourself.Chu Mingkong smiled and said calmly:
"Xiling Shizi Chu Mingkong, Miss Qingmei is specially dressed as a maid, are you hiding from me, afraid that I will find you?"
Qingmei's complexion was unnatural, she was really embarrassed, it was the first time she was blamed by a customer for the first time in her business, but she still couldn't believe it, is this Chu Mingkong?Is he such a gentle person?
She sincerely apologizes:
"It's Qing Mei who has lost her eyesight. She has been hearing about the young master's reputation all the time. She was misled by the rumors of the world. When she heard that the young master is coming, she feels timid. This girl... who is this young master?" Qing Mei He looked at the woman in men's clothing next to Chu Mingkong.
Zuo Qiuchi wanted to apply for a pseudonym, but Chu Mingkong thought that he had already declared his family in the Jiaofang Division, so how could he not have a companion?
He interrupted Zuo Qiuchi's speech and said: "She is my master Zuo Jianxian. She has always wanted to have a drink with Miss Qingmei. Today I will accompany her specially. Please come back to Miss Qingmei, and the two of us will have a drink together. Your boudoir, okay?"
Zuo Qiuchi stepped on him under the table, but he didn't step on him very hard considering his intention to find the oiran for him.
Qing Mei thought that the story just now was just to attract her attention, but she didn't expect that she only saw the first floor. Although it was indeed written for her, in the final analysis, she wanted to invite her as an oiran for his master.
Lost, and envious of his master.
If it was because of the master, Qing Mei would have accepted that this was the real Chu Mingkong, because it seemed that the reason why he beheaded the prince in the street was because the prince murdered his master.And the story he just told is another story about a master saving an apprentice.
It turned out that the son with a fierce reputation treated his master with such tenderness, warmth, filial piety and consideration!
Just now, seeing Chu Mingkong touching his master's little hand and feeding him snacks, I thought it was his best friend.
"Of course I can! How can I refuse the concubine? The young master can think of the concubine in the story of Zuo Jianxian, and mention the concubine in the witty poem, which is already a great kindness!"
A big question mark popped out of Chu Mingkong's head, did I mention you?
Mountain darkly, vista.Where is it mentioned about you?Do you have no way out, or another village?
