Encounter with the Four Great Talents

Mrs. Hua stopped in front of the hall, turned her head and said to her son: "Wu'er has worked hard, and you don't like to hear this, so don't go in. The back garden of Puji Temple is somewhat impressive, not as good as Wu'er's." Go there for a while, it's over here, I'll send someone to find you again."

Hua Dingwu nodded, and after saying goodbye to his mother, he turned to the back garden of Puji Temple.Mrs. Hua immediately winked, and the two servants saluted and followed.Mrs. Hua nodded in satisfaction, and entered the hall surrounded by the maids, and soon saw several of her girlfriends, each of whom smiled tacitly.

The abbot of the temple came over to meet some noble ladies and begged for some sesame oil money. Mrs. Hua donated the sesame oil money, and took out the signature that Qiu Xiang asked for just now: "Master, please have a look."

The host unfolded it and laughed: "This lottery is a lucky one, but it's the last lottery. I don't know what Madam wants to ask?"

Mrs. Hua was overjoyed, and immediately said: "I want to ask about the marriage of my second son!"

The host was stunned for a moment when he heard that, of course he knew who Mrs. Hua's second son was, compared the signatures again, and said after careful consideration: "Ma'am, it's hard to find a marriage to make the young master commit suicide. "

Mrs. Hua naturally knew about her son's unlucky fate, otherwise why would she worry about his marriage so much!He stared wide-eyed at the host's kind face: "The master said that this signing is auspicious, so wouldn't my son benefit from it?"

The host laughed, it was not good to refute her directly.Then he looked at the signature again, lightly tapped his finger to calculate, raised his eyebrows, and said with a smile: "Madam asked for it. Today is indeed the turning point of the second son, so it is the second son's chance."

"Opportunity? Where should this opportunity be?"

"Judging from the signature, this opportunity should be written in two words, black and white."

Mrs. Hua couldn't understand and wanted to ask more questions, but the host refused to say anything more, bowed with palms together and left.Mrs. Hua hated her secretly, and decided to drastically reduce the price of sesame oil next time!

Hua Dingwu didn't know that his mother was worrying about this here, so he walked leisurely to the back garden of Puji Temple.Most of the large temples are located in places with good Fengshui and beautiful scenery. Later, for various reasons, the temples will be repaired very beautifully.The back garden of Puji Temple is a very famous scenic spot. It is divided into four gardens in spring, summer, autumn and winter. Flowers and plants in different seasons are planted, with rockery and flowing water. Even though each garden is not big, there are still some things to see. place.

The garden is not big, so it is convenient for "coincidence"!The scenery is good, so it is convenient to set off "people are more beautiful than flowers"!It can be seen that Mrs. Hua has good intentions.

But Hua Dingwu didn't enter the garden, he heard a burst of laughter as soon as he turned the corner, and couldn't help being attracted.

In the thatched pavilion by the roadside, three teenagers gathered together on a stone table, two were playing chess, and one was lying on the side watching the game.Looking at the clothes and dressing up, the young man playing chess with his back turned to him is the master, and the other two are his servants. The laughter came from this young man's mouth.Seeing how he was lying on the table trembling with laughter, he didn't know what tricks the servants playing chess with him used.

"Second master, this... this is too difficult! How can you even count it when you connect it diagonally!" Tong Xi frowned and yelled aggrievedly, and Yong Lu, who was watching the battle, sighed and patted him on the head: "You This honest boy, how can he outplay our second master with such a real thing? Get out of the way, let me show you my brother showing his hands!"

Tang Shen picked up the pieces with a smile and divided them up, and started rock-paper-scissors with Yonglu.Whoever wins goes first.

Yonglu won, Ya sighed triumphantly on his hands, rubbed each other's palms together, rolled up his sleeves, picked up a sunspot and slapped it in the middle!

Tang Shen still chuckled, picked up a white ball and put it beside him in a leisurely manner.Yong Lu picked up another piece and placed it on top of the white piece to form a diagonal line with the black piece.Tang Shen also picked up a stone and placed it under the white stone.

After more than a dozen moves between you and me, Tang Shen raised his eyebrows: "Yonglu, are you sure you want to land here?"

Yonglu froze for a moment, looked at his landing point, and then looked back and forth, left and right, it was all right.The second master must be bluffing him!It fell with a snap!

Tang Shen held the white piece and twirled it between his fingers, and asked with a smile, "No regrets?"

Yong Lu patted his chest: "A real gentleman with no regrets!"

Tang Shen nodded: "A child can be taught!" With a stretch of his slender fingers, he dropped the white child to an inconspicuous place.

Yonglu was stunned for a moment, these are four pieces connected in a line, and the left and right sides are empty!That is to say, even if I block the left side, the right side will be vacated by the second master to form five sons!

Tang Shen clicked his tongue twice: "Gentleman, is it considered convincing if you lose?"

Yonglu nodded blankly, and Tang Shen clapped his hands in satisfaction: "Then as I said before, the roast duck at Old Wang's in the west of the city, you two each have one, remember to buy it tomorrow and treat the master to have extra rice!"

The two were speechless, and Tang Shen said generously, "Do you want to do it again? I'm in a good mood today. If you lose, I don't want you, but if you win, you can lose one duck!"

The two immediately rolled up their sleeves and continued their efforts!Tang Shen was having fun, and his subordinates made frequent killing moves, showing no mercy!

After only a short while, the two lost five sets.

Tang Shen was satisfied with the game, shaking his head and shaking his head: "You two idiots, second master, I won the exam at the age of 13, and I am more than a hundred times smarter than you. If you want to beat me with such a childish thing, try reincarnating twice."

The two of them squatted in the corner and drew circles under his blow. Tang Shen laughed out loud, so triumphant that his tail almost went up to the sky.He didn't even think about it, he started playing this game in junior high school in his last life, and now he uses it to bully two honest kids in junior high school, if he doesn't win, he will be really stupid.

"It's interesting, can I have a try as well?"

The three of them were taken aback. They were having a lively time just now, but no one noticed when the person behind Tang Shen came, and they all turned around to look.

Tang Shen was too close to him, and when he turned his head, he saw only a piece of black cloth. He was stunned for a moment, then raised his head, and at a glance, he saw a chin with sharp edges and corners like a knife carving, and at a glance above, he saw two rows of thick eyelashes, and those pair of eyes. Sharp black eyes.

Yong Lu and Tong Xi were so shocked by this man's aura that they didn't dare to move around, so they stood up and stood aside, pretending to be well-behaved children.Tang Shen blinked, smiled and stretched out his hand: "Of course, please, my lord."

Hua Dingwu flicked up his clothes and sat opposite Tang Shen. Tang Shen asked while tidying up the black and white chess pieces on the board, "Do you know the rules, my lord? Do you need me to explain?"

"No need." Standing behind Tang Shen, Hua Dingwu watched at least five games, which were just very simple renju games, which he quickly understood.

Tang Shen smiled and stretched out his fist: "Then, let's start?"

Tang Shen threw out his fist, and the child threw out his fist eight out of ten times, because he was too lazy to change his gestures.It may be related to martial arts practice, and Hua Dingwu is habitual in palming.So, the big palms meet the small fists, and the win or loss is instant.

Hua Dingwu picked up a piece and put it on the chessboard lightly.Tang Shen's eyes widened. This man's chess gestures are very beautiful!Pinch a chess piece with the thumb and index finger. When the wrist is lifted, use the tip of the index finger as the fulcrum to push the chess piece up and clamp it between the index finger and the middle fingertips. Separate the rest of the fingers slightly, and drop it steadily and accurately from above to the point you need, and then use the middle finger to hold the chess piece. Specifies that the chess piece is held without trembling.

Tang Shen couldn't help but began to look at him.From the outside, this man didn't have any decorations on his body, with a very ordinary hair band on his head. The clothes were of high quality but not too luxurious, and the workmanship was so simple that they didn't even embroider auspicious clouds on the neckline.It's just that his sitting posture is very standard, and it can be seen that he has received a good etiquette education.It seems that birth should be considered relatively good.

Tang Shen always believed that in the capital city, high and small officials bloom everywhere, and those who are not officials are inextricably linked to those who are officials!He is an ordinary person, but he just came to the capital to play, and it is good that he can return home safely and smoothly.

Therefore, if this master's birth is good, Tang Shen will not have any more desire to make friends, and leave after playing a few games.

Hua Dingwu naturally knew that the boy in front of him was looking at him, and he was looking at him too.A pretty young man with a pale and haggard face. It seems that he is not in good health, but his breath is calm and his eyes are clear. There is a smile that is neither far nor near at the corner of his mouth, which makes people feel a little good.

He seemed to have looked at it enough, the smile on the corner of his mouth was a little more distant and polite, then he stretched out his hand, and his thin white and knuckle hand picked up a white grain and landed next to the black grain.

The first time, Tang Shen won, Hua Dingwu nodded and said: "I lost." Then he packed up the chess pieces and continued to play, this time he took the initiative to reach out his hand to guess punches.

Tang Shen could go first if he won this time, and won again, but it was a bit hard to win.

Tang Shen was a little surprised. He could get to this point after only watching a few hands. This person must have a good mind!

So, next, Tang Shen lost.

Opening their mouths wide, both Tong Xi and Yong Lu looked at their master in surprise.lost!He lost!

Tang Shen pursed his lips and frowned, looked at the chessboard and began to reflect. He was somewhat led away by the opponent who went ahead, messing up his own pace and allowing the opponent to take advantage of the loophole.Quickly picked Bai Zi out, patted the table and said childishly: "Come again!"

A smile flashed in Hua Dingwu's eyes, he nodded and stretched out his hand again. Tang Shen really won again this time.

There is a winner or loser in this kind of fighting, and there is a feeling of meeting the opponent.Tang Shen had a great time playing, but for a moment he forgot his idea of ​​alienating this person, and while cleaning up the chessboard, he said, "It's been a long time since we had such fun, why don't we make some money?"

"The roast duck from the old Wang's house in the west of the city?" Hua Dingwu's voice was no longer so cold, and there was a hint of teasing.

Tang Shen gave him a blank look. How long has this man been watching behind him?Shaking his head: "No, I don't want to become a duck anymore! I heard that there is a famous Zhouji pastry in Beijing. It is said that there are [-] different kinds of pastries. If we lose a game, we will give each other [-] kinds of pastries. For dim sum, nine dishes will cost one hundred and eight dishes, and more than nine dishes will be counted as one hundred and eight dishes! How about it?"

Hua Dingwu nodded while playing with the chess pieces. Anyway, he doesn't like to eat, so a few snacks don't matter to him.But looking at his eyes shining with joy, I found it a little funny.

Tang Shen immediately rolled up his sleeves and started to fight for dim sum. Hua Dingwu didn't show mercy, but Tang Shen had a lot of tricks in his stomach after all. After several times, he lost less and won more. He was so happy that his eyes were smiling. up.

The two servants who followed Hua Dingwu widened their eyes, as if they saw their second master smiling!Rub your eyes, rub your eyes again, you're right!Really laughing!One of them poked the other with his finger: "This, do you want to tell your wife?"

"Go, seeing how the second master is sitting still, he probably doesn't plan to go to the back garden."

"Okay, I'll go talk to my wife." So he turned and ran away.

After hearing what this young man said, Dongxiang confirmed it several times in surprise, and after getting an affirmative answer, she quickly ran to Mrs. Hua holding her skirt.Mrs. Hua looked at her expectantly, and Dongxiang told Mrs. Hua that the second master did not go to the backyard for a blind date, but played chess with a beautiful young man in the grass pavilion for a long time and even laughed.

Mrs. Hua patted the armrest and said excitedly: "It turns out that this fate is due to this chess piece. This chess piece is not black and white! No wonder the host said that he was born to be a lonely man, so it was due to a man. A man is a man." Hurry up, go and find out who that person is?"

In the main hall, Zhu Yunming looked left and right but did not find Hua Dingwu's figure.That man has always been dressed in black, and with that cold and murderous aura, people can always notice him at a glance.But he turned his head and looked here for a long time, but he couldn't find his figure.Did Mrs. Hua not intend to give him a blind date here?

Frowning, Zhu Yunming asked Tuanzi to go out to see where Hua Dingwu was.

Not long after the dumpling went out, he came back scrambling, obviously frightened, and stuttered: "Hua... Hua Er Shao is playing chess with... Tang Erye!"

Tang Yin and Wen Zhengming heard it, and even Zhu Yunming was taken aback when they were together, and the three couldn't sit still any longer, so they stood up and searched for it, fearing that Tang Shen's small body would be turned into bone dregs by Hua Dingwu.
