In the cabin of the flower boat, soft songs are flowing, accompanied by dancers on the stage, showing all the gracefulness.
Visitors from various families gathered and sat together in the audience. On this occasion of celebration, the ladies of each family could show their faces among the people, and it also gave talents from all walks of life the opportunity to show their hospitality.
Men and women shuttled among them, and the crowd was constantly laughing and chatting. There were beauties gathering everywhere, and young gentlemen often came up to ask for greetings.
In one part of the hall, a man was surrounded by several women, making the men in the room very envious.
Not only are there many women around this man, but most importantly, all of them are extremely beautiful. There is no one in the audience who can compare with them.
There was a bold and shameless young man who just took the initiative to talk to him. He didn't want to be chased away by the men sitting around without saying a few words.
The man was good-looking, but when he saw other men, he acted like he should avoid strangers, which made the young master feel sour.
Among the people sitting around, the girls were focused on the chessboard, whispering and chattering to each other. From time to time, there were a few rounds of applause, or a shout of "wonderful move" or something like that.
From the perspective of others, they might be a group of girls who are good at chess.
Soon after, several more people stood behind them, watching the chess game through the gaps in the crowd.
After just watching it for a while, I saw that the arrangement of the chess pieces on the chessboard was extremely weird, and it looked like a group of people who didn't know how to play chess.
The person who had been kicked out earlier came up and saw it, with disdain on his face. He couldn't help but said in a strange tone behind him: "Girls, I think your chess game is against the rules. There are some students here who are cheating, so don't do it." I was deceived by some people who don’t understand chess theory. If you want to learn chess, I’m willing to teach you a thing or two.”
This man said a lot of things in an eccentric manner, but later it was discovered that several people present were completely unaware of what he said, as if they had not heard his words at all.
The people playing chess really didn't understand what was going on outside, and each of them looked at the chessboard intently.
Although this game of backgammon is simple, it is also quite brain-consuming. Several beginner girls teamed up to deal with Bai Song, and finally won once after losing several games in a row.
The girls were in high spirits at this moment and were about to win another game.
"Miss, go here, the young master doesn't care about you, we are going to win."
"There is also a good move here..."
"Ma'am, come here."
Several women were chattering, but Bai Song was sweating profusely.
I thought the three cobblers were the equal of Zhuge Liang. It would be really difficult to deal with these women together.
Just as he was about to lose, a hand suddenly reached out from outside and took away a chess piece.
"Do you know how to play chess? This is a dead piece, it has been taken away a long time ago!"
A sudden change disrupted the chess game. Bai Song quickly disrupted the chessboard: "Oh, this game doesn't count. Let's start over."
"Master!"
"Brother Bai!"
"Ms. sir!"
The faces of several women changed. They finally won, how could they not be counted?
Bai Song shook his head and pretended not to hear, but this made several girls very angry.
Everyone knew that Bai Song was thick-skinned, so it was useless for them to be angry. If they were to blame, it would be the finger-pointing people from behind who came from nowhere.
Bai Rou stood up and turned around, staring at the man who still had the chess piece in his hand, and said angrily: "Watching the chess without saying a word, do you understand? Who asked you to move? What a villain!"
"You...you all don't know how to play chess..."
"Are we going to get in your way?"
"That's right!" Xiao Cui put her hands on her hips and pointed at the man, "Pig head with a human head! We are playing backgammon, we don't have any experience."
The man couldn't help being scolded by the girl in public. He blushed and was a little confused: "Backgammon?"
"Backgammon is to win if you connect five chess pieces in a row. If you don't understand, don't mess with it! Go away!"
When Xiaocui said this to the crowd, the onlookers understood a little bit, and they seemed to understand.
Bai Song told them not to worry about it and continue playing chess.
These girls are very smart and are making rapid progress, and Bai Song does not dare to take them lightly.
Then in this game, Bai Song won again.
The girls were frustrated for a while, and Xiaocui complained one after another: "It's that person who could have won. If you interrupt, we will lose."
"It's a small skill that won't make it to the stage."
An inappropriate voice suddenly appeared in front of me.
Everyone subconsciously looked at the speaker and heard someone whisper: "Su Ming, the most talented man in Youzhou."
As soon as these words came out, the people around him immediately looked up at him.
I saw the man waving his fan disdainfully: "How can a little bit of fun surprise you so much? How can such children's games be compared with the profound and profound Go?"
Little do they know where these people are looking at chess?
It was clearly a human being.
But no one wanted to admit it. After hearing Su Ming's words, they all smiled and nodded awkwardly.
The people around him gradually dispersed, feeling a little guilty and afraid that their true inner thoughts would be seen.
As soon as the people dispersed, Su Ming squeezed in through the gap and stood in front of Bai Song: "Brother, from the way you play chess, I think you must be an expert at chess. Why don't you and I play a game?"
When the onlookers heard this, they all glared angrily. Is this guy deliberately using words to lure people away, so as to give himself a chance?
"Master Su, is it wrong for you to do this? Even if you want to consult the young master opposite, it's not your turn."
Su Ming gently waved the folding fan and greeted everyone with a smile: "I'm sorry, everyone, since you don't dare to say what's in your heart, there's nothing wrong with me taking the lead. A few of you covet the beauty of the girls, but that's all, why are you here? Where's the distraught horse?"
After saying this, Su Ming turned around with pride and held his hands to the girls: "Girls, you are not talented at playing, but I would like to show you what the real chess way is. This chess way is all-encompassing and endlessly changing, and it is by no means just one game. What a simple backgammon can show.”
"Who are you? Who wants to play chess with you?" Xiao Cui said impatiently.
"Don't...since this young master is so elegant and there are so many people watching, I would like to ask for advice."
Unexpectedly, Bai Song actually intended to play the next game with the opponent.
For Bai Song, playing backgammon with a few girls was a bit boring. It was rare to have a minion who could give someone away, which could not only kill time, but also support his glorious and majestic image. Why not do it?
And he is also a top talent.
Slaughtering a pig like this must have a lot of experience.
Everyone was excited after hearing this.
This is the most talented man in Youzhou. He is proficient in all kinds of music, chess, calligraphy and painting. Although he is not a professional chess player, he is definitely one of the best among amateur chess players.
I heard that Su Ming only lost to the old lady of the Zheng family in Youzhou.
That man was a famous chess fanatic in the Tang Dynasty.
The young boy opposite was fair and tender, and he could tell at a glance that it was an embroidered pillow. How could he be the opponent of the talented Su?
There were several young and beautiful girls around, after watching this game of chess, they were probably attracted by the talents of the great scholar Su, right?
It's a pity to think about it. If you had known about this earlier, why would you give this opportunity to others? They should have taken the initiative to challenge it long ago.
Su Ming was extremely happy. He quickly picked up the chess pieces and placed one on the chessboard. He glanced at Bai Rou aside.
He didn't know about the other girls, but the Bai girl called the man brother, so they should be brother and sister, which meant that the girl still had a chance.
In Su Ming's eyes, this little girl was the most special. She had the appearance of a lady, but was not delicate at all. She was generous, youthful and smart, and it made people's hearts itch just by looking at her.
Su Ming is known as the most talented person in Youzhou. He has seen countless young girls, but this is the first time he has seen such a heart-warming beauty.
This game of chess is all about winning the heart of the beauty.
Bai Song stared at Su Ming without paying attention. He held the chess piece in his hand and slowly lowered it: "I heard that you are the most talented person in Youzhou?"
"It's just a false name."
"I just don't know how good my chess skills are."
Bai Song spoke lightly, but the contempt in his words was very obvious.
Su Ming was also a proud person. Even the teachers in various schools did not dare to look down upon him in the slightest. Now that he was being dismissed by a man of similar age, he was already a little angry.
If it weren't for the sake of the girl next to me, how could I have given you a good look?
Su Ming smiled: "My chess skills are quite good, and I have never lost a single game among my peers."
"That's such a pity. This first defeat is coming."
From the beginning, the two sides of the game are at war with each other, and the dialogue alone is enough to make people excited.
Someone asked in a low voice: "Who is this person? How dare you be so arrogant when you meet the great talent Su?"
"I don't know, I've never seen it."
"Look at the lady next to him, isn't she Miss Lin?"
"Miss Lin? The Lin family in Mang County?"
"Exactly."
"He is Miss Lin's husband-in-law. Could it be that he is the husband-in-law?"
People around were talking non-stop, and the chess game had already begun.
I thought this would be a fierce battle between dragons and tigers, but I didn't expect that Su Ming, the most talented person in Youzhou, would already be in a long test after just a cup of tea.
To be precise, the long test was no longer relevant. On the chessboard, one of Su Ming's dragons had no chance of survival, and the outcome of the chess game was decided.
Su Ming just didn't believe it and racked his brains to think about whether there was still a chance of survival.
Time passed little by little, and suddenly there was an exclamation in the distance, and someone shouted: "It's Miss Qing'er, Miss Qing'er is also on the flower boat!"
Just hearing the word "Qinger", the whole flower boat was boiling again.
The people watching chess around were also instantly attracted.
Bai Song laughed: "Look at Miss Qing'er, this game is considered a draw, right?"
Su Ming didn't speak, his face looked ugly, he stood up silently, and left silently.
Although the girls didn't quite understand, they could still get a rough idea. Xiang'er asked Bai Song, "Ms. sir, why didn't you play the chess game that you were about to win?"
"You don't have to win when playing chess. This draw is not very harmful, but it is extremely insulting. If you leave that number one talent to go back and savor it, it will be enough for him to feel uncomfortable for a long time."
Xiang'er thought for a while and seemed to understand. She gave her husband a small fist with a sweet smile: "My husband is thinking..."
"It feels good to kill people and get rid of their hearts."
"Could the young master be looking for an excuse to take a look at that girl Qing'er?"
Dongxiang's sudden interruption made Bai Song a little difficult to answer. He hurriedly explained to Xiang'er: "Xiang'er, don't listen to her nonsense."
