Blood from Daming

Chapter 449: Learning Chess
Mr. Zhu said to the waiter in the restaurant: "Forget it, I will pay for this son's meal."

The restaurant clerk who served Mr. Zhu had a look of embarrassment on his face. Mr. Zhu understood that the clerk had pocketed the money and didn't want to spread the money, so Mr. Zhu took out a piece of silver from his cuff, and was about to hand it to the clerk of the restaurant. Suddenly, the scholar grabbed the silver.

The scholar said: "Young master, I borrowed it from you as a student, and Xiaoer will pay for it."

The scholar's behavior made the mouths of several restaurant workers twisted. When they saw that a five taels of silver was about to be obtained, it turned into a boiled duck and flew away. All this was the poor scholar's joke, but the restaurant According to the restaurant's rules, the restaurant clerk had no choice but to go to the counter to pay the money, and send the extra money to Mr. Zhu after the scholar's meal money.

The scholar took the silver he had found for money from the waiter in the restaurant, spread it out in his hand, looked at it and said, "I have spent a total of three and six cents in your restaurant, but you only made money for more than four, two or five cents. In the middle There is still more than a penny in and out, you guys, haha, forget it, let me treat it as a reward for you."

This made those restaurant waiters very angry. The scholar said to Mr. Zhu: "Master, you and I are full of food and drink, why don't we go together."

Mr. Zhu followed the scholar out of the restaurant, and the two of them came to the river street outside the restaurant. The scholar said to Mr. Zhu, "Young master, thanks to your generous help today, you have prevented the students from making a fool of yourself. How dare you ask Mr. Zhu?" Noble surname, live in the brothel book apartment by the Qinhuai River, the students will definitely come to thank you."

Mr. Zhu smiled and said: "Xiaosheng's surname is Zhu, and he just passed by the Qinhuai River. You don't have to worry about these trivial matters. We will continue our friendship if there is fate in the future."

The young master was stunned for a while and said: "So it is like this, Mr. Zhu, the student is from Yixing, Jiangsu, whose surname is Chen Zidingsheng, so I will meet you by chance in the future."

Saying that Chen Dingsheng bowed his hands to Mr. Zhu and left gracefully. Mr. Zhu walked quickly towards Xue Tao Pavilion along the way. When he arrived at the entrance of the alley when he first came, Mr. Zhu slipped into the depths of the alley. Soon there seemed to be a shadow drifting past lifelessly on the tall building of Xue Tao Pavilion.

After there was a noise in the main hall on the third floor of the attic of the Xuetao Pavilion, Mr. Zhu, who lives in the bedroom on the right, coughed softly twice, and after a while, he heard the voice of the pretty maid Dicui: "My lord, breakfast is ready."

Mr. Zhu waited for a while before leaving the bedroom. Dicui saluted Mr. Zhu and said, "Please use some breakfast after you wash up, Mr. Zhu."

Mr. Zhu came to the pear wood flower stand, took the face towel from Dicui, wiped his face gently a few times, then picked up the water glass to clean himself, and then slowly came to sit down at the breakfast table, On the table was a plate of hawthorn cakes, a plate of Fuju cakes, a drawer of steamed buns, two plates of shredded ginger, and two bowls of blood swallow and lotus seed soup.

Mr. Zhu knew that Xue Susu would come out to eat breakfast, so he said to Dicui: "Sister Cui, please go and ask Sister Xue to come out and have some snacks. The soup will taste bad if it is cold."

Dicui cast a sideways glance at Young Master Zhu, and then walked towards the boudoir of Xue Susu, the owner of Xuetao Hall on the left. Before reaching the door of the boudoir, Xue Susu, dressed in light green, appeared at the door of the boudoir slowly, and the light green color seemed to be light and charming. Xiu Huixiu is like a cloud coming out of nature.

Xue Susu swayed her lotus steps lightly and came to sit next to Mr. Zhu, took a look at Mr. Zhu and said, "You keep staring at my sister, which makes my sister feel a little embarrassed."

Mr. Zhu apologized: "My sister's attire today is so fresh and refined, my younger brother can't help but look at my elder sister for a while, I hope my older sister will not blame my younger brother."

Xue Susu said angrily: "You men are greedy for women."

Mr. Zhu said: "Sister, since my younger brother saw you, I have felt very close to you. I always felt that my elder sister has some charm to attract me. I just saw my elder sister and realized that it was my elder sister's inner beauty who conquered my younger brother."

Xue Susu blushed and said: "Young master is talking nonsense, my sister is already old, and you are still talking sweet words to make my sister happy."

Mr. Zhu said aggrievedly: "My sister really wronged my younger brother. Although my younger brother has seen many beauties in the world, but a woman like my sister who is so beautiful and intelligent, with an extraordinary temperament, should only be a fairy."

Xue Susu twitched a bit and said, "It's disgusting, don't talk about it, let's have breakfast."

Xue Susu personally put a soup bag for Mr. Zhu, put it on an empty plate and put it in front of Mr. Zhu, and then Xue Susu was about to put vinegar in Mr. Zhu's ginger dish, Mr. Zhu waved his hand lightly to signal no.

Xue Susu said with a smile: "So Mr. Zhu doesn't like to be jealous."

Mr. Zhu smiled slightly and said: "My little brother likes the original and original items, and things that are added will be different."

Xue Susu said: "I never imagined that such a splendid talent like my younger brother could be nurtured in a foreign country."

Mr. Zhu just smiled, and then opened a mouth on the top of the soup dumpling, holding the soup dumpling skin with his hand, slowly sucking the original soup in the soup dumpling skin. The red and green hair of the fork came back from Yangyi.

After breakfast, Dicui immediately took two servant girls to clean up the hall, Xue Susu stood in front of Mr. Zhu and said, "Brother, it's up to you to teach sister how to play this chess."

Mr. Zhu nodded and said: "I don't know what level my sister wants to learn, and how much time I plan to spend learning this chess."

Xue Susu was a little dazed when he heard Mr. Zhu's words, and said to Mr. Zhu hesitantly: "Brother, the sisters along the Qinhuai River have a party on the third day of March, and everyone is going to present a chess oiran for this year."

Mr. Zhu was silent for a while and said: "Sister, counting from today to the third day of March, there are only five days to learn chess. Well, I don't know how good my sister's opponent is."

Xue Susu said: "Brother, although there are several sisters who can play chess, the one with the highest chess skills is Miss Li Shishi from Qunfang Pavilion. She has already won this chess oiran three times."

Mr. Zhu asked: "Win the chess oiran three times in three years, you are already playing chess for a long time, sister, do you have the chess records of Master Li playing chess?"

Xue Susu shook her head and said, "No, everyone didn't copy anything, not to mention my sister doesn't know how to play chess."

Mr. Zhu said: "Sister, I don't have any foundation at all, and I don't know the strength of the opponent. I just teach my sister how to play chess easily. To win the oiran in the chess game, it is very difficult to think about."

Xue Susu was a little disappointed and said: "Sister also sends out as she pleases, brother, don't force it when it's too late."

Mr. Zhu shook his head and said: "For my younger brother, there is never anything impossible to do, only whether you are willing to do it seriously. A chess player who doesn't memorize the score is not good enough. Come on, Brother teaches chess to sister."

When Xue Susu sat down at the table, Mr. Zhu said while laying out the animal skin chessboard and chess pieces: "Sister, chess has six powers: king, queen, bishop, horse, rook, and pawn. There are 32 pieces on both sides of black and white. Now brother Teach my sister how to play chess."

Mr. Zhu and Mr. Xue Susu learned one by one and taught by the other. Xue Susu studied hard and Mr. Zhu taught carefully. By noon, Xue Susu was not only familiar with the moves and rules of chess, but also could play correct chess with Mr. Zhu. up.

Playing guide chess with Mr. Zhu all afternoon, Xue Susu is very smart and has improved rapidly in chess. By lunch time, Xue Susu is not only proficient in chess, but also can think of many ordinary two-step and three-step kills. I also have a little overall view of the chess situation.

Xue Susu wiped the handkerchief for Mr. Zhu who was sweating from the chess lecture, and said to Mr. Zhu with a heartache: "Wait, I have talked a lot today, and my sister basically understands everything. Let's stop here today."

Mr. Zhu said: "That's fine, my sister is also tired, take a good rest today, and I will talk about something new tomorrow."
