Fall In Love with the Technology Tree

Chapter 48: Chess and Easy

    In early summer, it rained and sunny. Xia Chan has not yet started their feast, and all kinds of fragrant flowers and plants have seized the rainy and hot seasons and are rushing to bloom.

    The Xun Family School's school is a semi-open design. There are no walls on the left and right sides of the classroom, only bamboo curtains and detachable wooden boards. During class, the bamboo curtains are rolled up, the wooden boards are removed, and the light and cool breeze can pass through the hall. This is at the expense of winter warmth for good lighting.

    In the old days, several tables and futons should be neatly arranged on the wooden floor, but today is different. Several cases for writing were removed and replaced with chessboards like small square tables. There are 17 horizontal and vertical lines on the chessboard, with a total of 289 placement points.

    "Today, we learn Go. Go players, Yi Ye." Xun Jing, dressed in light-colored clothes, walked slowly between the children's seats to ensure that everyone could hear Know what he says. He speaks at a relatively slow pace in his lectures, and his cadence has the rhythmic beauty that the ancients loved.

    At this time, Go was still in its infancy, and most of the theoretical works were written by Eastern Han people who died within a hundred years or lived. The square of the chess is likened to the earth, the straightness of the chess road represents the gods and morals, the black and white colors symbolize Yin and Yang, and the arrangement of the chess pieces symbolizes the stars... Therefore, playing chess is not only about resourcefulness, but also reflects a person's character and cultivation. The truth of ruling the world."

    After Xun Jing finished speaking about this theory, he returned to his seat in front of the classroom, sitting, concentrating, and burning incense.

    He burned the incense made by the Xun family himself. Sandalwood, Shen, dragon, musk deer, borneol, orchid osmanthus, the aroma is layered upon layers, which makes people's mind clear.

    "Meditation is one of them." Xun Jing's voice hovered between the beams and columns like a bell.

    The children sat upright and closed their eyes.

    After the first incense burner, it was replaced with the second kind of elegant incense.

    "Play the second."

    The pupils took their seats and started playing chess. There are also teaching assistants in the classroom who will step up to stop a dispute if anyone has a dispute.

    Because Cao Cao and Cao Sheng took a Go lesson for the first time, Xun Jing took the lead to arrange them. "Have you ever learned Go?"

    The twins looked at each other and shook their heads vigorously.

    "No hurry." He smiled and set himself on an empty chessboard, explaining the basic rules of Go to the twins. What is eye, what is qi, what is sharp, what is flying, what is long, etc., and what is victory and what is loss.

     "Learning to play chess, playing with other people is the fastest." Xun Jing finally said, "A Sheng has the best time with A You, so I will let A You play with you. What if Ah Cao asks Ah Qi to follow you?"

      Therefore, Xun Qi was a little unhappy, and he had the upper hand.

     

    A Sheng also surrendered to him: "A You have mercy, after listening to Mr. Shuci, I don't think I will be able to learn Go in my life."

    Xun You covered his mouth and smiled, he didn't believe Ah Sheng's nonsense.

    The two sat down opposite each other, and pushed each other for who would go first. In the end, the young Xun You took Bai Zi first.

     

    Xun You is the kind of magical kid with a silly face and a tricky chess game. Ah Sheng played two games with him, one game was close to the next, but both were lost.

    "Hey, I lost again." Ah Sheng had an "angry" expression on his face, "Ayou's stomach is black."

     

    A Sheng covered her head: "I have a lot of ideas, but I can't use them. Oh, that's it for today, it's about lunch." She turned to look at Cao Cao at the next table.

    Cao Cao and Xun Qi played fast chess. "Crackling" is like throwing a bomb, full of momentum. The smell of gunpowder was all around them.

    A Sheng cautiously leaned over to see that the game had come to an end. Using the Go knowledge she had just learned, she carefully counted the number of pieces on both sides. "Hey, brother is going to win?"

    Not a win.

    Cao Cao won three pieces.

     

    Cao Cao pursed his lips, his dark eyes seemed to suppress some emotion: "Then, come again?"

    Xun Qi refused: "I don't. I, I, I... If it wasn't for Mr. Shuci's order, I wouldn't play chess with you. I don't care to play chess with you. What's your look? Insidious and rude. My father told me there was nothing good in the eunuch's house."

    Excessive, this is a very serious slander. Xun Jing was the first to scold: "Aqi is rude!"

    A Sheng also stood up and spoke almost at the same time as Xun Jing: "The benevolent sees benevolence, and the wise sees wisdom. The sinister can feel gloomy even in the face of the sun, and the narrow-minded person is also in the wilderness. I can find the place where it is cramped. My brother is a person who Chen Yu and Chen Zhonggong have praised for his good manners. You just rely on the prejudice of your family position, and you think you can know people better than Chen Gong? "

    Xun Qi blushed and couldn't say a word.

     Even the teacher Xun Jing was stunned.

     

    "Hey, brother." Ah Sheng could only pay tribute to Xun Jing hastily, and ran out with Cao Cao. Cao Cao's physical fitness was good and he ran fast. It took Ah Sheng's efforts to catch up with him under the big tree at the entrance of the village.

    "Hu-hu-" Ah Sheng panted while holding on to the tree trunk, it was a miracle that her shoes were still on her feet. "Brother-hu-brother."

    "Asheng, I'm going to leave Yingyin."

    "Huh?" Ah Sheng's head was blank for three seconds before she regained her ability to think, she slowly spoke while giving herself a good mood: "If brother is because of Xun Qi, there is no need for it. After all, short-sighted people are a minority, don’t they get along well with us like Ayou? And since we have received the favor of our father’s wealth and status, we naturally have to suffer the reputation of eunuchs. Such prejudice, until we It will be endured after death. If you can't bear even a small grievance now, then what kind of ideals and aspirations are there to talk about."

    "I'm not for this. I don't care about Xun You." Cao Cao stood upright in the noon sun, his tone was so calm that Ah Sheng was startled, "Xun You is very good, The Xun family's clan has no place to treat us harshly. However, it is not my ambition to learn hermits' talk, qin, chess, calligraphy and painting, burning incense and making tea, and Huang-Lao's metaphysics."

    "It's not my ambition, I'm for..."

    "Asheng is for Xun's book collection, I know it. But to organize classics, gather the strengths of a hundred schools, and become a generation of great scholars, Asheng can do it. Asheng is for his own goals. I need to learn to convince my father to come to Yingchuan, with clear thinking and decisive actions. I also have my own goals and where I want to go.”

     

    Cao Cao looked at the distant sky. "Yesterday I received a reply from Duke Ran Ming. He is currently serving as the prefect of Wuwei, and he is quite leisurely, saying that he is willing to teach me with "Book of History" and "Records of the Grand Historian". Zhang's family is also an aristocratic family. That's enough. And Wuwei is at the border, I'm going there to train my soldiers."

    Cao Cao's soldiers are those young boys whose average age is less than fifteen years old.

    A Sheng's tears rolled down. According to this time, Cao Cao sent a letter to Zhang Huan if they hadn't entered school yet. "It turns out that my brother has already planned it, but I don't know at all. Could it be that the letter sent by my uncle to help my brother?"

    Cao Cao tacitly said, "Don't tell your father for now."

    "Brother...Brother take care of you. Wuwei is an important town in the northwest of Wuwei, an important military area, and living with the Qiang people. Even if there is no war, there will be small frictions. Be brave and fight hard, please protect yourself in everything.”

    Cao Cao used the palm of his hand to help his sister wipe away her tears: "I know. Ever since I arrived in Yingchuan, have I ever fought with someone?"

    A Sheng recalled it, but he really didn't. They have been discriminated against the most since they were born in Yingchuan, but Cao Cao, who has always been a little bully, has endured all of them. He didn't even get angry in private, but instead became restrained at an amazing speed. Ah Sheng couldn't help crying again: "It was my negligence that caused Brother Ah to suffer."

    "What nonsense you say, I should take care of you. Now I want to leave you alone in Xun's house, don't call me dereliction of duty in your heart."

    "I don't scold you, you think too much." How can I scold you, you are growing up.

    At the same time, in the Xun Family School classroom, the children had already left, but there was a man in his thirties sitting in the position Cao Cao had just now, watching the endgame and making calculations.

    Suddenly, he opened his eyes.

    "Sixth brother, how is it?" Xun Jing asked aloud.

    "This son is bold and careful, and his spirit is amazing. If he encounters troubled times, he will soar into the sky."

     

    The one called the sixth uncle is the legendary Xun Shuang. Xun Shuang, the word Ciming. There is a local legend that "Xun's Eight Dragons, Ciming is unparalleled", which means that the old six Xun Shuang is the most outstanding one of the "Xun's Eight Dragons". He was only in his thirties and already had a very profound study of the Book of Changes.

      "Ayue, I'm just telling the truth." He pointed to the chessboard, "This one can be the master, while you brothers are almost a strategist, preferably Wang Zuozhicai. This is not a difference of wisdom, It's the difference in temperament."

    Xun Yue was silent.

    Xun Yan and Xun Chen showed curious expressions.

    Xun You stepped forward at this time, pointing to the endgame left by him and Cao Sheng next to him. "Uncle Ciming, let's look at the black child in this game."

    "Oh, this is the one..." He was halfway through his calculations, and suddenly paused, his brows furrowed, his eyes fixed on the chessboard.

    "No way." Xun Shuang said suddenly.

    "What?" Everyone was surprised.

    "Only looking at the way of chess, he is a self-contained one, and he has a strange idea. But if I want to calculate the origin of this strange idea..." Xun Shuang took out a bamboo stick from his cuff, And two copper coins, began to count, and finally gave up after a few calculations:

    "The secret is unpredictable. The child prodigy is indeed extraordinary."

    The author has something to say: Cao Cao ran to the border without seeing Xun Yu Xun Yue Xun Chen, a sad butterfly effect.
