Fourth Master's Pearl

Chapter 18

Hiroshi was ten years old, with an already handsome face.His eyebrows are habitually frowned because of the pain, but his eyes are peaceful.Maybe it's because he doesn't have a younger sister, Hiroshi showed joy when he saw Chuqing, and this call made Chuqing's nose sore.

"Brother Hongyun looks better today." Chu Qing couldn't help lying.

"Sister Qing, you don't come here every day, how do you know?" Hong Shi, who has no eyesight, pointed out Chu Qing's mistakes.

"I just think it will get better and better, can't I? Don't you hope so?" Chu Qing quibbled.

Hong Yun smiled and let out a series of heavy coughs.Nunnies and girls rushed up to stroke their backs and pass tea.

Chu Qing heard that there was phlegm in his lungs, and suggested: "It would be great if there were tangerines, just roast them on the charcoal fire, then peel off the skin and eat them, it will be very effective in relieving cough and eliminating phlegm."

"The imperial doctor prescribed medicine, and I took it every day, but it didn't work." Wanyi shook her head worriedly, and brought the tea that Ke'er handed over to Hong Yun's mouth.

"The medicine is three-point poisonous, so eat as little as you can. I'll go back and ask Erniang Fujin if he has any oranges."

Hong Yun covered his mouth and coughed for the last time. With a flushed face, he tried to smile and said, "It's okay. Elder sister, you and younger brother can continue playing chess. Sister Qing, why don't you come and watch together?"

Chu Qing smiled and said, "I haven't learned Go before."

Hong Yun smiled lightly and said, "It's okay, I'll teach you."

Hongshi just happened to be about to fail in this game, and he messed up the pieces with a busy smile, "Second brother has to teach from the beginning, so sister, let's play again!"

Wanyi pursed her lips and smiled, "You, don't play hard, be careful that sister Qing catches up with you."

Chu Qing smiled and said, "Absolutely no problem!"

Hongshi chuckled: "It doesn't matter if you lose to Sister Qing."

As he said that, he restarted the game again, and the pick fell down.Hongyun patiently explained to Chuqing the rules, the delicacy and fun of Go with his low and gentle voice.Chu Qing thinks, Hong Yun has spent so long recuperating from his illness, he must be using Go to entrust his time and state of mind.

After only watching two sets, Chu Qing understood seven points.Of course it was Hong Yun who taught well and was easy to understand, and of course it was also because she was not a real young girl.

"Brother Hongshi, don't go down there, it's okay!"

"There is also a dead end there."

"Eat these few pills, you can eat them."

Wanyi couldn't help laughing, "Sister Qing, you really are a gentleman when you watch chess and don't talk."

Chu Qing got carried away when she got excited, she stuck out her tongue and said with a smile: "We are all villains, sister is an adult."

Wanyi didn't care about winning or losing, she just wanted to relieve Hongyun anyway, so she let Chu Qinghongshi's two and a half jars of water fight her alone.Sometimes Hongshi and Chuqing would discuss for a long time about the whereabouts of a chess piece, and Wanyi and Hongyun couldn't help laughing at them.

Chuqing is a person with changeable emotions and easy self-regulation.After learning a little bit of Go from Hongyun, I immediately became interested in black and white.That's what a playful person is like. He is most energetic at the beginning when he knows something but doesn't know much.So Chu Qing excitedly wants to cultivate her Go skills.

Chu Qing first instinctively thought of April [-]th, who was vetoed by one vote.Then I thought of Fujin, but it turned out that Fujin was really busy, so he tactfully advised her to find the prince.It is said that it is almost the end of the year, and the affairs of the prince in the court are also coming to an end.Chuqing once again vetoed it with one vote.

When I want to do something but can't do it, my heart is like a cat's paw and itches very much.Chuqing turned around on the spot, her mind turned and turned, and finally she planned to go to Yinzhen's study to find a few Go books to learn by herself.

Yinzhen has two study rooms, one inside and one outside, both of which have a large collection of books.However, the outer room is mostly used for walking among brothers and friends, and the inner study room is used for his own rest and reading.Chuqing's initial target is the inner study.

Chuqing touched the inner study with three probes in one step and one scan in two steps.Biyue, the girl guarding the study, saw her and called out: "Xiao Gege is here!"

"Hush——Biyue, is the lord here?" Chu Qing hid behind the pillar, stuck her head out and asked Biyue in a low voice.

"My lord is here, please come to Gege."

"Oh, it's good that he's here. I'll go first, don't say you saw me."

Chuqing's first action failed.

the second time.

"Bi Yue, is the lord here?" Repeating the sneaky and sneaky dialogue.

"Here, Gege, do you...need to report?"

"Hey, then I'll withdraw. Old rules, you didn't see me."

Chuqing dispatched for the second time and lost again.

the third time.

"Biyue!" Chu Qing blinked her eyes expectantly.Needless to say, I believe that Biyue and she have established a tacit understanding of revolution.

"Ge Ge... the prince is here." Bi Yue whispered.

"Ah, he is free every day!"

Chuqing's third expedition failed miserably.

What happened right under Yinzhen's nose, if you can hide it from him once, it is impossible to hide it from him the second time and the third time.He soon found out that Chu Qing came to the study but didn't come in.

Ask Safatu to follow the girl for a few times, and report back that Qing Gege is dejected, depressed, sighing, and feeling sad for Yue.

Yinzhen deliberately gave up the study, and stayed outside the study when he had time.

It's a pity for his kindness.After Chuqing was hit, she was devastated for several days.Yinzhen thought she was not coming, and went back to the inner study where he felt comfortable and convenient.

The two were really destined, and on the first day when Yinzhen came back, Chuqing looked for her with confidence.As a result, he ran into a wall again in disgrace.

After Yinzhen found out, he simply informed the people inside and outside the study, and when Qing Gege came again, he could just say that he was not there.Since he couldn't figure out the law of that girl's actions, he had no choice but to let her go.

Yinzhen asked Xiao Gaozi to take charge of planning and arranging the layout of the study room, and newly installed a four-leaf screen. When he was in the study room, he read books and books on the small couch behind the screen, and waited for the rabbit by the way.

I don't know how many times Chuqing has come here. As soon as Biyue saw her, she immediately smiled sweetly: "Little Gege, the lord is not in the study today."

Chuqing agreed with an "oh", and habitually planned to turn around, then turned her head suddenly, "What did you say?! Sisi isn't here?"

Bi Yue smiled happily and said, "Yes, the prince is not here."

Chu Qing looked inside, "Are you really not there?"

Biyue had an expression that never cheated on you, "I'm really not here."

Chuqing got her wish, slipped into the study, and searched and searched on the rows of boxwood bookshelves.Worried about Yinzhen's return while looking for it, he complained in his heart: "Sisi, who loves to read, doesn't know the classification or number, so it will save you worry and effort when you look for it."

She forgot that this was Yinzhen's study room, he naturally knew exactly where the books were placed, and he didn't look around like a headless chicken like her.

"Hey, why is there no easy-to-understand book?" Chu Qing managed to find a book about the mysteries and tricks of Go, which she couldn't understand.

Chuqing walked out of the study, Biyue looked at her empty hands and said, "Little Gege, didn't you find the book you wanted?"

"Well, I'll come back tomorrow."

Yinzhen knew that Chuqing wanted to learn Go. In his early years, he was taught Go by a national player himself. There were no so-called entry-level books, so he ordered Xiao Gaozi to buy some Go entry series that are popular in the market and put them on the shelf.

The next day, Chuqing started searching from the other side she hadn't found, and soon found those books.The book is aimed at novice players, and it is getting more and more difficult one by one, and it is systematic.

"Hey, it's so new..." Chu Qing couldn't help feeling as soon as she opened it with a smile, "Could it be that April [-]th is a photographic memory, and you can understand it at a glance. The books are like new."

After all, Chu Qing couldn't wait to read it in the study and was fascinated.

Gradually, Chuqing understood more, but problems arose again in the new stage.Those formulas are practical strategies, but she lacks space and imagination.

"It would be much better if there was a real object..." Chu Qing closed the book and muttered.Taking a look at the study room, there must be a chessboard, but she didn't dare to move it, it would be troublesome if Si Si found out.

Later, when Chuqing went again, she found a chessboard and two boxes of chess pieces on the desk, one black and one white, beckoning to her.Chu Qing ran over, with starry eyes: "Wow, sincerity is as good as gold and stone? Is it because the chess game on April [-]th night was not accepted?"

Yinzhen behind the screen smiled silently.

Chuqing began to hold the book, lay it out on the chessboard according to the chess record, and fiddled with it, enjoying herself.This time she stayed in the study for so long that she even forgot the time. When she thought about it in panic, she found a suspicious point that she had ignored for a long time.

"That's strange, didn't Fujin say that he was in the mansion on April [-]th? Why didn't he come to the study?" Chu Qing walked out of the study talking to herself.

As soon as Chuqing left, Safatu fell from the roof and said to the window, "Master, how long are you going to keep this secret from Qingge?"

Yinzhen replied calmly: "Let's see when that girl will become smarter."

The Go matter is best solved by two people facing each other face to face. Chu Qing learns by herself and plays both sides, so the fun and practical significance are much weaker.No, she encountered a problem that she couldn't solve.He set up a game against the chessboard, chanting the formulas in the book.It doesn't seem to work.

"Sansan, Xiaofei hangs up... High eyes, Danguan inside hangs... which one should I go?"

"Tianyuan starts." Yinzhen's voice sounded clear and distant behind the screen.

"Isn't that good for nothing?" Chu Qing muttered without thinking.

With a sound of "thump", Chu Qing loosened her fingers, and a chess piece fell on the ground, turned around and turned to Yinzhen's feet.Chuqing stared at the chess pieces and saw a pair of moccasin boots at the same time.
