Plane game: mental disorder at the beginning

Chapter 67 Only Three Candidates

When Fang Jingzhe turned his head, a tall woman was standing behind him at some point.

The woman's appearance was simple and elegant, she was wearing a moonlight-colored long skirt woven with golden threads, covered with a lake-blue cloak, her hair was just casually pulled into a loose bun, and a jade hairpin was inserted obliquely.

This dress made her waist and waist particularly slender and soft, like willow branches in spring.

"Xia Zijin?" Fang Jingzhe blurted out.

Xia Zijin nodded slightly, "Exactly."

"I just guessed if it would be you." Fang Jingzhe smiled slightly, and said in a somewhat unscrupulous way: "I didn't expect that I guessed it right."

"Since Fang Shaoxia is the one chosen by the Lord, he must be the best. Guessing the identity of the little girl is not like pinching the snail with three fingers, and it is sure to be sure?"

Fang Jingzhe said in his heart: This woman poured me the ecstasy soup as soon as she came up, she was afraid that she wanted something from me.

Immediately, he straightened his expression, raised his airs slightly and asked, "Tell me, what do you want me for?"

"Of course it's for the Jinling Oiran Competition." Xia Zijin walked to a stone table next to a shelf, motioned for Fang Jingzhe to sit down, and then continued: "My lord ordered me to win the first place in the Oiran Competition, and that The masters of the two lottery prizes are also named to win."

Fang Jingzhe was not polite, and sat down boldly, nodded and said, "So?"

"When you came to Jinling Mansion, the Lord didn't explain these things?" Xia Zijin asked a little strangely.

"You and I can guess what the Lord does?" Fang Jingzhe played with the exquisite tea set on the stone table, and easily resolved the embarrassing situation that he didn't know anything.

Afterwards, Fang Jingzhe said again: "Do you want me to help you win the title of Oiran?"

Unexpectedly, Xia Zijin shook her head lightly, "The title of oiran is not very useful, but the Lord wants those two prizes..."

A month ago, the lord did not know what method he used to order the little emperor of the Southern Chu Dynasty to visit Chunfeng Tower privately in a micro-clothes.

The little emperor chatted with her for a long time, and he seemed to have a good impression of her in his words, and then he added two prizes to the "Jinling Oiran" contest.

They also sent someone to tell her that the lottery was all given to her, and as long as she could win the title of oiran, then she would be admitted to the palace and made the first lady of the palace lord.

"Entering the palace is not what I want, but I still have to win the two prizes."

Fang Jingzhe looked up at Xia Zijin who was opposite, "According to what you said, do you have an idea?"

"Yes, that's why Fang Shaoxia is needed to cooperate with me."

"Let's hear the plan."

Naturally, Fang Jingzhe would not directly agree, but the clue has already reached the little emperor. For a better game evaluation, he certainly would not refuse outright, so he simply asked Xia Zijin what the plan was, and if the plan was feasible. , he doesn't mind going with the flow.

"Among the other seven candidates for the Oiran Contest, Miao Li from the Red Mansion Hall and Shui Linglong from the Qun Yu Yuan are nothing more than remnants of flowers. I think they are the last two candidates in this competition, and Yueyao from the Fanghua Pavilion She's still light, she's still a yellow-haired girl who hasn't grown up yet, so there's nothing to be afraid of."

"As for Yuliuxia in Xiaoyaotang and Hua Nongying in Baihualou, the grades of these two places are actually slightly lower than the other six. Naturally, the standard of the guests is more than a star and a half away, and their appearance is only mediocre. , the oiran can't fall on their heads."

"So in this oiran competition, there are actually only three real candidates. Besides me, there are Liu Fangfei from Wuyou Pavilion and Du Ruoxiang from Xiaoxiang Pavilion."

Fang Jingzhe listened carefully to Xia Zijin's words. This is news that is not heard in the market, but it must not be missed.

Du Ruoxiang was in the hall of Chunfeng Building just now, but he heard someone mention it, and that person seemed to be an official at home.

It is said that in the three years of the Qing Dynasty, the magistrate had [-] snowflakes in silver, which shows how rich these officials are.

But he knew very little about Liu Fangfei in the Wuyou Hall, and in the mouths of those dandies who climbed to the Xianlou, they just mentioned it, letting him know that there was such a person.

"Then how much do you know about these two people?"

Xia Zijin frowned, "I have a lot of news about Du Ruoxiang from Xiaoxiang Pavilion. I'll ask Xiaotao to bring it to you later, but Liu Fangfei from Wuyou Pavilion..."

Liu Fangfei and Xia Zijin appeared in Jinling Mansion almost at the same time.

But after this Liu Fangfei was listed in the Wuyou Pavilion, she directly declared that she was "a performer but not a person", and she wore a veil all day long. It is said that her close servants have never seen her true face under the veil.

Some people say that she must be as beautiful as the Nine Heavens Xuannv, while others say that she hides it because she is afraid of being ugly.

But no matter what kind of rhetoric it was, it successfully aroused the curiosity of everyone in Jinling Mansion.

With the blessing of this sense of mystery, Liu Fangfei also established a rule.

Her rules are different from Xia Zijin's writing poems around tea.

Guests who go to the Wuyou Pavilion can have a hand-to-hand chat with Liu Fangfei as long as they pay enough money, and it is rumored that as long as they win the game, they can stay in her boudoir.

But so far, no one has been able to win her son or son-in-law.

But the more it was like this, the more people came here attracted by the name, and even the people waiting in line to play chess all lined up by the Qinhuai River.

This kind of momentum pushed Liu Fangfei's reputation to the same level as Xia Zijin's, and even faintly surpassed Xia Zijin's.

After Fang Jingzhe heard it, he couldn't help asking: "Then you didn't ask your admirers to try that Liu Fangfei?"

Xia Zijin smiled and shook his head, "Of course they were allowed to go, but unfortunately, these people's chess skills are not good, and the longest one lasted only a stick of incense, and Liu Fangfei killed a piece of him. Stay, let alone stay overnight, without saying a word."

Fang Jingzhe frowned, and said hesitantly: "The game of Go, maneuvering chess pieces to fight wits and courage on the board, is just entertainment at a small scale, but at a large scale, it has nothing to do with marching, fighting, and arranging troops. It’s the same thing.”

"You mean that Liu Fangfei's identity may be more than just a woman who sells herself in a brothel?" Xia Zijin understood the meaning of Fang Jingzhe's words in an instant, and then she said: "If her identity is wrong, she is hiding in Jinling Mansion. What's the purpose? Will it spoil the Lord's great event?"

Fang Jingzhe said in his heart: I don't know what's going on with the Lord, let alone whether it's bad or not.

However, his expression remained the same, "Since Liu Fangfei's identity is different, why don't you ask someone to check again."

"It's really time to go and explore again." Xia Zijin nodded and said, "But the few people under me don't look like princes in dragon robes, and they don't look like everyone in Go."

"It's you, with bright eyes and good looks, why not..."

"I can't play chess!"

Fang Jingzhe didn't lie this time, he only knew a little bit about Go, and Liu Fangfei sounded like a master, let alone a stick of incense, he might not last for a cup of tea.

Of course, if it was changed to backgammon, he still has some confidence.

"A few days ago, the little emperor ordered someone to send me a copy of "Xuanxuan Chess Classic". This is an isolated chess record from the previous dynasty. It records an endgame in it. Maybe you can use it."
