Xu Miaoyun thanked her with a smile, and Dong Zicheng patted his chest and said, "Which of us is with whom, sister Miaoyun is just like my own sister, order whatever you want, don't be polite to me."

Zhang Baoer looked around and was a little unhappy: "Why is there no dish I want to eat?"

The Zhang family is also a big family in Hangzhou. The Dong family and the Zhang family have business contacts, and the two families are also good friends, so Dong Zicheng and Zhang Baoer also know each other. Dong Zicheng smiled and said: "I didn't know you were coming. Besides, your family If you don’t have anything, you still come to take advantage of me.”

Zhang Baoer was spoiled by her family, she was a little petulant, she glared at Dong Zicheng unhappy, Dong Zicheng was not to be outdone, Xu Jinghuan smoothed things over and said: "Okay, how old are you and you still get angry with the little girl, I remember Baoer's worst I like to eat pearl balls, so add another pearl ball.”

Zhang Baoer immediately became proud, and made a face at Dong Zicheng.

During the banquet, Dong Zicheng and Xu Jinghuan mostly talked about Qiu Wei's affairs. The two of them discussed the origin of their homework. The two little girls couldn't understand, so they went to the window to watch the excitement.

Louwailou is close to the West Lake. It is the most famous restaurant in Hangzhou. Those who come to the West Lake must come here to have a rest. First, it is close to the West Lake. It is also interesting to drink tea while watching the scenery. Secondly, the decoration of the Louwailou It is clean and elegant, not blindly extravagant like other restaurants, on the contrary, it is tacky, and those literati and refined scholars feel decent when they come in.

The building outside the building is divided into three floors. The lobby on the first floor welcomes ordinary guests. The second floor is open and the windows are wide open, which can be removed. When the weather is good, bamboo curtains are hung for concubines of Xiang. It is very lively. The third floor is a private room, which is high and suitable for viewing the scenery. Generally, the rich and powerful people in Hangzhou are entertained. Dong Zicheng is rich and powerful. There is a private room outside the building, which is vacant for him.

Zhang Baoer had a lot of ideas, and said: "When I came up just now, I heard someone on the second floor saying that students from Siwen Academy and Wenhua Academy are coming to compete again today, let's go and see the excitement later."

Hangzhou has a strong literati atmosphere and many students. Four major academies in the southeast and northwest stand together. Later, Wendao Academy in the south city merged with Siwen Academy in the west city, and Xiangde Academy in the north city merged with Wenhua Academy in the east city. There are only two major academies left. .

The students of the two academies were not convinced by each other, and they often gathered together to compete in the building outside the building, or to compete in poetry, or to play the piano. The students in the school have to count the days to come. If they happen to meet two academies fighting martial arts, they will be considered to have gained knowledge and knowledge.

Xu Jinghuan was originally a student of Wenhua College. The old lady was worried that he would be provoked by a group of angry students, so she called her home and asked her husband to teach him. Xu Jinghuan also understood the old lady's worry, and had never attended such a party. Everyone in Wenhua College felt sorry.

When I was young, Xu Run'an brought the three sisters of the Xu family to watch the excitement. It was not a competition of learning, it was clearly a quarrel, and you came and went. Xu Miaoyun was so scared that she didn't dare to go again, but when she grew up, she found it quite interesting. It's just that I went because of my bad status.

Now that Zhang Baoer brought it up, Xu Miaoyun was also moved. She told Xu Jinghuan, covered her with a veiled hat and ran to the second floor to sit and wait.

The people from Wenhua Academy came first, and when they heard that Xu Jinghuan and Dong Zicheng were there, they went to invite them to watch. A young man said regretfully, "It's a pity that Senior Brother Xu and Senior Brother Dong didn't participate, otherwise the group of people from Siwen Academy would have run away. .”

Xu Jinghuan smiled and said nothing, but Dong Zicheng patted the man on the shoulder: "Why are you so worthless, you can still win without us."

Xu Jinghuan said: "Wen Wu is the first, it's just a discussion of knowledge, don't stir up disputes."

Dong Zicheng laughed a few times, but still encouraged him: "Work hard, if you win, I'll invite you to dinner today."

Most of the students in the college are from poor families, and students from poor families. When they heard that they could have a meal in the building outside the building, they naturally agreed, and all of them were high-spirited.

Without a cup of tea, people from Siwen Academy also came, and there was a new face mixed in. Qian Dengke from Wenhua Academy sneered and said: "Fei Wendao, have you exhausted your talents and just brought in an outsider?" Come on louder."

The one named Fei Wendao was very steady, and said: "This brother also visited our academy, he heard about this and came to join in the fun."

Qian Dengke is the leader of Wenhua Academy. He heard the words: "I won you in the calligraphy competition last time. You are not convinced. This time it is up to you to decide what the competition is. I will accompany you to the end."

Fei Wendao's eyes flashed brightly, and he said: "Today is a game of Go. If you beat us today, I am willing to go to your Wenhua Academy to carry water and firewood, and work as a handyman for a month."

As soon as this remark came out, everyone in Wenhua Academy looked at each other in blank dismay. Fei Wendao had always been steady and never uttered big words, but today it was strange. Could it be that the stranger was a master of Go, and Fei Wendao made such a promise because of his secret help?

Qian Dengke said: "A gentleman promises a thousand gold, as you said, if we lose, I will still go to Siwen Academy for a month, and I will be sent. Who will you send to play?"

Fei Wendao smiled slightly: "Of course it's Mr. Ren."

Qian Dengke said angrily: "Fei Wendao, you still said that you didn't come here to rescue the soldiers. This young man looks very strange. He is not from your academy at all. How can he represent your academy?"

Fei Wendao said with a smile: "Young Master Ren respects our academy very much, and he volunteered to be a nominal student." Then he formally introduced the strange boy: "This is Young Master Ren, whose name is Ke, whose name is Ruoshan, from the capital."

Fei Wendao formally introduced, even if Wenhua Academy was not happy, they bowed their hands and saluted, Ren Ke laughed and said: "I am grateful for Brother Fei's praise, I really dare not accept it, I heard that Wenhua Academy is Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, please give me some advice. "

Qian Dengke was a little hesitant. Fei Wendao dared to ask a stranger to replace him, and he must have some confidence in saying that, but I don't know how good Ren Ke's chess skills are, and he came from the capital. If he is really a master of chess Well, it’s fine for him to go to Siwen Academy to listen to his errands, and it’s not good for Wenhua Academy to lose its reputation. .

Qian Dengke looked at Xu Jinghuan who was sitting on the sidelines watching the excitement. When it comes to chess skills, there is no one on the right side of Senior Brother Xu, but Senior Brother Xu has long said that he will not participate in such a thing, but apart from Senior Brother Xu, the only one who can make a move is Wei Junior brother Ya.

Qian Dengke looked at Wei Ya, Wei Ya also frowned and didn't dare to take the blame, Fei Wendao said with a smile: "How? Brother Qian, if you feel unsure, just pretend that I didn't say that, let's try another way Competition."

Qian Dengke was provoked by these words, and immediately said: "Who says you are not sure, Mr. Ren is a guest from afar, if we win, I'm afraid he will lose face."

Ren Ke said with a smile: "There is no limit to learning. If your brother is more skilled, I should humbly ask for advice."

Qian Dengke winked at Wei Ya, and Wei Ya stood up and said, "Then let's get started. Next, Wei Ya, I'll ask Brother Ren for advice."

The two set up a chess game, Wei Ya held the black pieces, Ren Ke held the white pieces, surrounded by several circles of people, Xu Miaoyun asked Xu Jinghuan in a low voice: "Brother, do you think Mr. Wei is sure to win?"

Xu Jinghuan said: "Wei Ya's chess style is calm, he plays steadily, and responds to all changes with the same. Even if he can't win, he won't let Mr. Ren win easily. In my opinion, the possibility of a draw is even greater."

Dong Zicheng said: "That Ren Ke also looks like a young master. If he is really famous, I'm afraid it would have spread here long ago. I've never heard of a Go player named Ren Ke in the capital."

Zhang Baoer said: "If someone wants to be humble, you naturally don't know." Obviously, Zhang Baoer has a good impression of the gentle and delicate Ren Ke.

Dong Zicheng was immediately dissatisfied: "Which side are you from? Did you become biased just because you saw Ren Ke's beauty?"

Zhang Bao'er blushed, and muttered: "I'm a sexist, I'm biased, what's wrong?"

Xu Miaoyun couldn't see the chess game because someone was blocking her. She only knew a little about Go, unlike Xu Peining and Xu Jinghan, who were both masters. She could sit facing the chessboard all afternoon and be immersed in it.

After half an hour, the crowd exclaimed, Xu Miaoyun hurriedly probed to see, only to hear Wei Ya's laughter: "Young Master Ren, I have accepted it." It seems that Wei Ya won, and someone in Siwen Academy murmured: "Just It's just half a win."

Ren Ke is very gracious: "Jiangnan is really outstanding, talented people come forth in large numbers, I have learned from you, but here is a plum blossom chess game, I can't understand it, and I ask Brother Wei for advice."

Wei Ya thought for a while, then cupped his hands and said, "I would like to hear the details."

Ren Ke laid it out on the chessboard for a while, among which the white and black pieces intertwined, the situation glued together, like a half-open five-petaled plum blossom, Wei Ya faced the chess board for a long time, his face flushed, and said: "Please ask Mr. Ren."
