So I play chess

Chapter 149 Interview
Tang Mingyi followed the young servant into the door, bypassing the screen wall and found a rather spacious outer courtyard. Someone set up a table in the middle, with pens, ink, papers and inkstones piled on it, and even an eye-catching wine jar.

The person in charge put one hand on the mouth of the altar, and was chatting with the few people in front of him. When he talked about something pleasant, he brought up the altar to drink a good wine, but his mouth and hands were quite busy, and he didn't look sideways and didn't pay attention. There are newcomers coming in here.

The guide boy first asked Tang Mingyi to stand still and wait for a while, then stepped forward to hand over the roster, and at the same time reported to the man: "Mr. Hua, a guest has arrived."

"Wake up all day long, you will look forward and backward in the end, not satisfied, only those who are good at drinking can see the beauty of the world." Hua Jizheng was talking about Xing, only glanced at the roster, and did not look at anyone, only with the boy He said, "Let him come forward, I'll take a look at him."

The servant got the order, so he turned around and went to invite Tang Mingyi.

Tang Mingyi had already seen "Raspberries Difficult to Shine" at the intersection, so he had naturally heard of Hua Ji's reputation. Even though others said that this was just a lucky but ordinary person, he did not believe it.At this time, when the young man called him "Mr. Hua", he had a resolution in his heart, seeing his behavior again, he didn't feel very angry, so he just followed the young man forward.

When he got close, Hua Ji talked eloquently as usual, but ignored him at all, so Tang Mingyi didn't say a word, just stood aside and listened.

Hua Ji spoke nonsense, he was obviously very drunk, and he didn't have any commendable opinions. The five or six people who talked with him in front of him just followed his words, only one was quite disdainful, and looked at the rest of the crowd with cold eyes.

Tang Mingyi didn't show any impatience, and he looked at the disdainful person a few more times, probably leaving an impression.

Hua Ji finally finished speaking, and drew a few strokes on the roster in front of him, and asked the two or three young men waiting beside him to follow the roster, and lead these people to other places, and did not mention it when they dispersed. .

At this moment, he finally remembered that there was someone like Tang Mingyi, so he looked towards him.

"Have you ever read a book?" The alcoholic was quite rude, and he directly praised him without asking his name.

"I've read some." Tang Mingyi replied politely.

Hua Ji frowned, and sized him up from top to bottom: "Do you have a great talent in your chest?"

This question was even more strange, Tang Mingyi had no choice but to answer: "I dare not call you a great talent..."

"Do you dare to discuss the situation in the world with me?" Hua Ji interrupted him and said again.

This is too ignorant, and whoever dares to talk to him is nothing more than listening to him and praising him like the rest of the people.

Tang Mingyi only said: "Is it possible to distinguish the situation of the world clearly here?"

Hua Ji laughed when he heard this, raised the wine jar and took another big gulp, only said to the guide boy: "It's so unpleasant, I can't come to my place."

After saying a word, he ignored him, and the guide boy understood, took back the roster, and led Tang Mingyi to another place.

Before leaving, Tang Mingyi was watching the guards lined up behind him being ushered in by the servant at the door. They exchanged glances with each other, ignoring them.

On the left and right sides of the outer courtyard, apart from two gates, one large and one small, there are several wing rooms. The guide boy led him to the smaller gate on the west side, and before the closed wing room, let him He stood still, and he stepped forward to report at the door: "Master Li, a guest has arrived."

After a while, a white-shirted book boy opened the door and looked at Tang Mingyi generously, but he was much more polite: "Please come with me."

The guide boy handed over the roster to the book boy, but he stood outside the door and didn't intend to go in, so Tang Mingyi had no choice but to go forward and let the book boy lead him into the wing room.

The wing room was a bit gloomy, but bright. Tang Mingyi walked around the screen, only to see that the room was full of strange gadgets, some rough wood and stone utensils, and even some unfinished bows and crossbows and the exquisite wooden mantle bridge. Model.

One of them was sitting on the ground, polishing a rather large rough stone in his hand.Seeing his demeanor, Tang Mingyi knew that it was Li Xun Li himself, who he heard at the intersection today.

"It's not convenient for me. You can sit if you want to sit, and stand if you want to stand." Li Xun was busy with his hands and said to Tang Mingyi without getting up.

Tang Mingyi remained silent, and only reached out to grab the crossbow on one side.Li Xun glanced at him, and then said: "You look good, why not do it, and follow them to drill in here."

"Does Director Li prefer to judge people by their appearance?" Tang Mingyi replied.

Li Xun laughed, ignored his words, and only asked, "Will you do it?"

Tang Mingyi knew that he was asking if he knew how to do crafts, so he simply replied: "I can only use it."

Li Xun tapped the original stone in his hand again: "Is there any jade in it?"

"I've only seen good jade, but I can't break it." Tang Mingyi put down his crossbow, lowered his body, and looked at the model of Haoqiao.

"Will carpenters and masons be the same?" Li Xun asked again.

"I've never learned it before." Tang Mingyi replied simply.

"Then you are not from my place, go sell your face to the little lady." After Li Xun said a word, the book boy standing beside him stepped forward to lead him away.

Tang Mingyi happened to have a general look at the things in the room, so he followed the book boy out of the room regardless of whether Li Xun was polite or not.

When they reached the outside of the wing room, the bookboy handed over to the guide boy, who then led Tang Mingyi out through the small courtyard door on the side. Behind the courtyard door was a narrow and small courtyard, which had no special meaning, only a rockery for decoration.A few steps into the small hall at the back, passing through and entering a corridor.

After about a cup of tea, Tang Mingyi also took a rough look at the two sides of the corridor. There was a courtyard in each of the two places. Apart from the servants and maidservants shuttled around, there were also many scattered guards who were obviously guards.

On the inside, you can even see a row of grass targets and some empty weapon racks. It is clearly a place like a school ground, but there are no traces of military training.Even these cumbersome utensils looked a little out of order, as if they had been temporarily moved.

Tang Mingyi's heart was settled, so let's not press the button for the time being, and continued to move forward with the guide boy. Before reaching the end, the corridor went out from the middle, passed an inner wall, and the vision immediately widened.

This place is much larger than the "school ground" just now, and the arrangement is more orderly. About twenty people stand scattered in one place, and some who seem to be injured are sitting on the ground to rest a little further away.Tang Mingyi saw at a glance that the six people who came in earlier than him were all here, so he knew that this was probably a place for martial arts examinations.

Seeing someone coming again, the guard who was standing aside stepped forward and saluted Tang Mingyi politely.Tang Mingyi naturally returned the salute, and the guard took the roster from the guide boy again, and led him into the crowd.
