The Rise of the Cold Gate in the Eastern Jin Dynasty

Chapter 32 Big Oolong (big chapter)

The Yingchuan Duoshi family, the Chen family is one of them. From the Three Kingdoms period to the establishment of the Cao Wei regime, the most famous one was Chen Qun, the maker of the Nine-rank Official Personnel Law. But in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, it was Chen Qun's uncle Chen Chen who was branches are more prosperous.

Most of the gentry families are married. Before the Diao family developed, they were related to the Chen family by marriage, and the Chen family in Yingchuan also had this relationship with the Xie family in Chenjun.

Xiao Qinzhi kept Xiao's family prestige, and the patriarch was very satisfied, but the patriarch stood tall and could see farther.At the Bei Ya Ji, Xiao Qinzhi has already made a name for himself, the competition with Chen Tanzhi is the best so far, the water will overflow, too much may not be good.

The patriarch broke off a thin peach branch, tied up Xiao Qinzhi's loose hair, and reprimanded meaningfully:

"Qinzhi, how can you take the initiative to ask for a gift?"

"There are so many talented people in the Bei Ya Ji, but if you stir them up like this, don't they lose interest?"

Xiao Qinzhi understood. He just focused on playing chess and didn't realize how many people were around him. When he raised his head again, he realized that there were several layers of people around him.

The authentic copy of the "Declaration Form" was brought across the river by Wang Dao and passed on to Wang Xizhi.

This is so tempting, Xiao Qinzhi was hesitant for a while.

Diao Lun said: "Yuqing, I think that when we just crossed the river, you and I were about the same size as Qinzhi. In Wu County, we competed with the southerners, drunk and fought. Qinzhi was only a young man, playing chess with others. , compared to winning or losing, what does it matter?"

"Don't hurt the boy's heart."

Yan Zhongzheng glanced at Xie Yi, and said with a smile: "Young people's game of chess is originally an affair, why bother to involve other things, but after all, it is far enough to be a guest, Uncle Zhi, you have to explain it clearly to Mrs. Chen afterwards, don't spread it out, let us People in the world say that my five surnames in Jinling are deceiving people."

Diao Lun also said with a smile: "If we really want to talk about it, Xie Taishou must be a witness. Afterwards, the collection will be compiled and spread out, so that the world will know that I have a prosperous literary style in the north of Jinling."

Xie Yi said: "The Chen family master is good at calligraphy and debate, and he is even more extraordinary in Go. If he can become famous in Bei Ya Ji, it will be an elegant thing. Even if he loses, there is nothing to say. They are all young people. In the future There are plenty of opportunities to learn from each other.”

A game that started as a battle of youthful spirits was abruptly raised by these old guys with a few words, and it became a battle to defend the prestige of Jinling North.

So Diao Lun and Yan Zhongzheng stood together.

The patriarch couldn't object anymore, he just told Xiao Qinzhi: "Don't be reckless."

Xiao Qinzhi naturally understood, and thought to himself: "Play by ear, it really won't work, put some water, at least the situation will be passable."

Chen Tanzhi lost the chess game, he rushed to ask his elder brother angrily, after a while, he was nowhere to be seen, and there was a crowd of people around, inevitably some whispered.

"Aren't you afraid you won't come?"

"Probably not, that young man of the Chen family doesn't seem to be the kind of person who doesn't believe what he says."

"Xiao Shi Erlang, with a strange style of chess, superb chess skills, and a man of no vain under his great reputation."

"The young man of the Chen family is quite good at chess, but it's a pity that he met Xiao Erlang."

"Who do you think can win?"

"Of course Xiao Erlang."

Zhao Yunfei's "Beautiful Pictures of Cherishing Rivers" has been finished, she heard the news and quietly asked Xu Miao:
"Xianmin, have you ever heard of the name of Dalang Chen?"

Bei Ya Ji is divided into two sessions. In the morning, there is a talent show of "Qinqi, Calligraphy and Painting", and in the afternoon, there is a key "Talk".

Xu Miao is a master of Confucian classics and is good at clear talk, so he did not participate in the morning "Qinqi, Calligraphy and Painting". He watched the whole process of the three games between Xiao Qinzhi and Chen Tanzhi.

But when Zhao Yunfei asked him suddenly, Xu Miao searched in his mind for a long time, but he didn't think of the reputation of Mr. Chen. .”

Xu Miao shook his head and said, "I haven't heard of it, but I think that with Xiao Erlang's chess strength, there are not many Jiang Zuo who can beat him."

Zhao Yunfei asked again in a low voice: "How does it compare to Lu Chu and Gu Kaizhi?"

Xu Zao opened a school in Wu County to teach, and he taught without discrimination, regardless of the north and the south. He was highly respected by the local gentry in Jiangdong. Xu Miao often had contact with Lu and Gu's children, and he knew Lu Chu and Gu Kaizhi a little bit.

Lu Chu is the nephew of the prefect Lu Na. He is well-versed in Confucian classics and good at talking. He is famous among the three Wus.Gu Yuezhi of the Gu family in Wuxi, Jinling, has an allusion of "the posture of pines and cypresses versus the posture of willows". His son is Gu Kaizhi, nicknamed Hutou. From the painting circle leader Wei Xie.

Wei Xie is the originator of Chinese Buddha statue painting, and he pays great attention to charm in painting, which has a great influence on Gu Kaizhi, and the influence is still there after thousands of years.

Xu Miao said: "I don't know much about Xiao Erlang. However, when it comes to Fengyi, Xiao Erlang is certainly not inferior to the two of them. When it comes to chess skills, there are few people of the same age who can beat Xiao Erlang."

Zhao Yunfei continued to ask: "What about Henry Zhang? He is best at chess."

Zhang Xuanzhi came from the Zhang family in Wujun. The Zhang family, Lu, Gu, and Zhu are known as the four famous families in Jiangzuo. They are very good at chess, and they have a good friend with Xie Xuan. Together with Xie Daoyun.

Xu Miao thought deeply: "I have seen Zhang Xuanzhi and Lu Chu play chess. Xiao Erlang's chess style is new, and he has the demeanor of a generation of masters. Even if he loses now, he will definitely win in the future."

He couldn't help sighing: "It's a pity, Xiao Erlang is just like us."

Zhao Yunfei wandered and said: "No, Xianmin, you are wrong, Xiao Erlang is much better than me."

After a while, the Mr. Chen didn't show up yet, he was still holding his pipa half-hidden, those who knew knew the reasons, and those who didn't know would be a little impatient.

The fat old man kept nagging, and suddenly Dai Zong pulled his sleeves and went to a remote place. Several people were waiting, namely Diao Kui's youngest brother Diao Cheng and Yan Lin.

Diao Cheng, a son of Gaoliang, learned from Diao Kui that the Xie siblings were visiting, and wanted to get acquainted with them, so that they could get acquainted, but he didn't want to put a hot face on a cold butt, he felt very uncomfortable and felt humiliated.

Diao Cheng said viciously: "Xiao Shidi, go and tell Qinzhi Shidi that you must win that Xie, no, it's Dalang Chen."

"Huh?" Fat Old Ba was taken aback, not knowing why.

"As long as I can win, I will ask my elder brother for a copybook as a gift for Qin's younger brother."

The fat old eight was even more puzzled.

Although Dai Zong didn't know the reason, he knew that he couldn't offend Diao Cheng. Looking at his stupid cousin, he tugged hard, and hurriedly said: "If you want to talk about it, just talk about it. As long as you win, there will be less benefits."

The fat old bastard turned back, whispered in Xiao Qinzhi's ear, and explained the matter carefully.

For a meal, two people can eat it, and three people can eat it too, but it's just a matter of adding an extra pair of chopsticks, and there are benefits to it, so a fool would not do it. Xiao Qinzhi nodded to show that he knew.

Suddenly, someone said: "Brother Chen is here."

On the downhill corridor of Diao's Manor in the east, two figures appeared, and after turning a corner, they came to the east gate of Xiyuan. One of them was Chen Tanzhi, and the other must be Chen Shi Dalang.

But I saw that Mr. Chen was also dressed in a white lun scarf, his sleeves fluttering, his face was as smooth as jade, his eyebrows were raised, his eyes were like stars, and he was tall and tall.

The two of them, one in front and one behind, were both dignified in appearance and excellent in temperament. Chen Tanzhi followed his brother behind, unavoidably showing frustration, and was speechless all the way, probably because he was reprimanded.

Holding a white jade stag tail in hand, Mr. Chen's Dalang stepped forward, stared at Xiao Qinzhi for a while, then looked at the crowd, and then saluted with Luoyin:
"Xie Taishou, Yan Zhongzheng, all senior uncles, sorry for the long wait." He added: "My brother is stubborn, if there is any reckless behavior, I hope you will forgive me."

Diao Lun waved his hands and laughed, "No problem! No problem!"

When Dalang Chen took his seat, the scene suddenly became quiet, the peach blossoms were burning, and the breeze was warm, a piece of peach blossoms fell onto his snow-white skirt.

Dalang Chen took his time, picked up the peach blossoms, put them lightly on a corner of the chessboard, then looked at Xiao Qinzhi, frowned slightly, cupped his hands and said:
"Chen Yunzhi from Yingchuan."

Xiao Qinzhi didn't know what other people thought, but when one of Xiao Qinzhi saw this white-clothed Chen Yunzhi, he didn't have a good impression. He smeared cream, a faint fragrance, and a feminine aura came over his face.

I also remembered that my eldest sister was named Xiao Yunzhi, and I couldn't help thinking of this Chen Yunzhi, thinking: "Why is it a big man, just dress like a woman, but give him a name like a woman." Sure enough, if there is a brother, there must be a brother. Accidentally, there was a snickering sound.

Chen Yunzhi was puzzled, frowned, and asked, "Why are you laughing?"

Xiao Qinzhi pursed his lips and said, "Sorry, I remembered my eldest sister, her name is 'Yunzhi'."

However, Chen Yunzhi explained seriously: "Xiao Yunzhi from the Lanling Xiao family, a talented woman from Jinling, I have heard of it, but my name is "Yun", not this 'Yun'."

I don't want to, but Xiao Qinzhi made a mistake, the two words sound the same, and blurted out: "Could it be Xie Daoyun's 'yun'?"

Chen Yunzhi didn't explain, held his breath, nodded, and acquiesced.

Chen Tanzhi at the side said proudly, "You also know Xie Daoyun?"

Xiao Qinzhi didn't like what he said, and acted like he was an ignorant person, as if he knew Xie Daoyun very well, which was a suspicion of humiliation.

Xiao Qinzhi frowned, turned his face slightly to greet him, and retorted

"It's not like willow catkins blow up by the wind."

"The talent of Yongxu, Xie Daoyun, who doesn't know, who doesn't know, but you are the only one who knows?"

Chen Tanzhi was not angry, but rather complacently said: "That's right, that's all I know."

"Hiss!" Xiao Qinzhi took a breath, pursed his lips slightly, squinted his eyes, and thought: "I also know that she will marry that trash Wang Ningzhi in the future, should I tell you?"

However, Xie Daoyun is not married yet, this matter must never be said, but seeing Chen Tanzhi's cheap look, he said: "What do you do with the talented woman, it seems that you are very familiar with you?"

Chen Tanzhi thought that Xie Daoyun was my sister, and you said I was not familiar with him. Looking at Xiao Qinzhi who didn't know anything, he instantly felt that this person seemed quite interesting, and was ready to tease her a little more.

Unexpectedly, Chen Yunzhi and Xie Yi's coughs came to mind at the same time, Chen Tanzhi kept his mouth shut, but secretly laughed in his heart.

At this time, Xiao Qinzhi suddenly realized that Xie Daoyun's father, Xie Yi, was at the scene. He felt a little rude when he talked about his daughter in front of her.

So he got up and practiced the etiquette honestly:

"The boy's words were rash, please forgive me, the prefect."

Xie Yi didn't think there was anything wrong with it, his own daughter was famous far and wide, as an old man, he was honored, how could he be angry, he laughed and said:
"nothing."

As everyone knows, Diao Lun and Yan Zhong are watching, and the "reckless" Xiao Qinzhi is laughing wildly in his heart, and he doesn't want to expose it.

This is just a small episode, to the people of Wei and Jin, it is really nothing, after this episode, the game officially begins, Xiao Qin's leader holds the sunspots, as a show of etiquette.

Chen Yunzhi held the white stone, thought it over and over again, and it was still the standard nine-three throwing hand
