The chess pavilion is called Cunpu Pavilion. It has two octagonal eaves and is covered with black tiles. It is simple and solemn.

There is a round stone table and several stone chairs in the pavilion, with a chessboard placed on the table.

Pei Yue took a look and saw that there were already many black and white chess pieces on the chessboard. However, apart from Gu Zhen, there were only two maids in the pavilion who were cautious and did not dare to show off. Could it be that she was playing tricks with him?

Playing chess?

Gu Fan suddenly patted his head and said, "Oh no, I forgot something important. I'll take my leave for a moment. Little sister, please help me entertain Brother Yue."

Then he left without looking back.

Pei Yue looked at his back as if he was relieved, and secretly scorned: Can your acting skills be any more fake?

Gu Zhen said calmly and generously: "Brother Pei, please sit down."

Pei Yue turned around and took a look at her naturally timid face, knowing that people should not be judged by their appearance. Judging from the last brief contact, this sister of the Gu family only looked weak, but in fact she was also a very upright person. When talking to him,

She never deliberately pretends to be a timid lady, and occasionally shows a sharp edge.

In fact, if you think about it, you will know that a strong-willed man like Gu Liang can raise a daughter who is gentle and thoughtful.

Although it was slightly inappropriate for young men and women to meet in private, this was an open space in the Marquis's residence, and there were two maids accompanying him. Pei Yue did not act awkwardly. After sitting down with a natural expression, he began to study

Pick up the chessboard on the table.

Gu Zhen saw this and asked, "Brother Pei also likes to play chess?"

Pei Yue shook his head and said, "I'm just looking to see who wins."

Gu Zhen asked curiously: "Can you tell?"

Pei Yue said: "I can see that Sister Gu's sister should have won this game."

Gu Zhen looked at his serious look, then looked at the black and white chess pieces on the chessboard, and couldn't help but laugh: "Brother Pei thinks I'm playing chess with myself?"

Pei Yue found that he was quite thick-skinned. He didn't feel any embarrassment when a clever joke was exposed. Instead, he nodded calmly and said: "Although I can't understand the situation between black and white, I am definitely the winner of the Gu family sister."

.”

Gu Zhen praised: "That's right, it makes sense."

She raised her head slightly, revealing a gleam of snow-white neck, and then said a little slyly: "Brother Pei, actually I am just writing music."

Although Pei Yue only knew the basic rules of Go, he at least knew what playing scores meant. He scratched his head and said, "I'm also a little confused about the strange way to play chess against myself."

Gu Zhen picked up the tea cup and took a sip, and said with a smile: "Brother Pei, don't think of me as that kind of weirdo who doesn't eat the fireworks of the world. Although I don't look like an eloquent person, I don't

I like to act cold and aloof. I read and play chess but I am not obsessed with it. I also make a little bit of female celebrity every day, and occasionally learn some cooking methods from my mother."

After saying this, Pei Yue understood clearly and said with emotion: "It sounds like Sister Gu is also an ordinary person."

Gu Zhen said calmly: "I am an ordinary person, but these words seem a bit superficial. Mainly because what Brother Pei said is a bit scary. Playing chess with yourself? This kind of thing is somewhat possible for my fourth brother.

.”

Pei Yue couldn't help laughing, nodded and said, "I agree with this statement."

Gu Zhen stretched out her hand to separate the black and white chess pieces on the chessboard, then put them into the chess box. She changed the subject and said, "Since Brother Pei is sitting down, why don't you join me to talk about a game?"

Pei Yue shook his head and said: "I really don't know how to do this, and you won't have a sense of accomplishment if you win."

Are you kidding me? Just by looking at Gu Zhen's posture before, we can tell that she is not weak in chess. It's very easy to abuse herself anyway. In the words of her previous life, she was the king of bronze, and he only knows how to surround her. The level of eating will definitely kill you instantly.

Thinking about it this way, after I came to this world, the two girls I met besides Pei Ning, Shen Danmo was good at calligraphy, and Gu Zhen was good at chess. Maybe they had other hidden skills, which didn't seem simple. Fortunately, Pei Yue's advantage is that he doesn't know how to play with short strikes. He looked at the empty chessboard and smiled: "Sister Gu, I don't know how to play hands, but I know a simpler way to play. Do you want to try it? "

Gu Zhen nodded and said, "I would like to hear the details."

Pei Yue took out the chess pieces from the chess box and explained how to play backgammon.

The rules are indeed very simple, and Gu Zhen learned them quickly.

The two began to play chess, with Gu Zhen taking the lead as black.

After a while, she lost the game.

But Gu Zhen was not upset like some beginners, or couldn't wait to start a new game. She just looked at the situation on the chessboard, silently watching, and occasionally her expression would change.

After reviewing the entire chess game in her mind, she smiled and said, "It's more interesting than expected. Brother Pei has such a clever idea."

She had never heard of this method of playing before, so she thought it was Pei Yue who figured it out himself.

Pei Yue did not rush to deny it. Such trivial matters are harmless, but it would be troublesome to make up an excuse.

"How about another round?" Gu Zhen asked.

Naturally, Pei Yue would not object. Although he was not good at Go, he was known as the little prince of backgammon in his previous life and was experienced in many battles.

In the second round, Gu Zhen lost on move 24.

This time she took a longer time to review, and Pei Yue was not in a hurry. Anyway, the scenery here is very good, and there are fine teas and exquisite and delicious snacks. Compared with the bloody battle last night, it really feels like a different world.

Then the third game started, and Gu Zhen lost in the thirty-fifth move.

Gu Zhen did not continue to review the game. She blinked and said, "Brother Pei, please go ahead with black."

Pei Yue couldn't help it for a moment and smiled happily.

Gu Zhen looked at him doubtfully.

Pei Yue coughed a few times, picked up the chess pieces calmly, and then said, "Sister Gu, I won't give in."

Gu Zhen didn't understand the meaning of releasing the water, but based on Pei Yue's expression, she could roughly guess it. She smiled slightly and said, "Just try your best."

It's just that the reality is much crueler than she imagined. When she took the lead in black, although she lost three times, she actually had a good chance in the third game. She almost pushed Pei Yue into desperate situations several times, although he was able to resolve them in the end. , but it also shows that Gu Zhen has mastered the rules very quickly. Because of this, she asked Pei Yue to take the lead and try it from a different angle.

As the saying goes, try or die...

Pei Yue took the lead with black, and Gu Zhen lost five games in a row, each game was more decisive than the last, and she had no power to fight back.

Gu Zhen put down the chess pieces and quietly looked at the five black stones connected in a line by Pei Yue on the chessboard.

The two maids standing next to him stared at Pei Yue unkindly.

Pei Yue didn't take it seriously. Of course he won eight games in a row not because of bad taste, but because he wanted to see the character of the girl opposite him. He was not a fool. The arrangement between Gu Liang and Zhao was already so obvious. He wanted to see it no more. You can go out and buy a piece of tofu and get killed. It's not that Pei Yue hasn't thought about his future marriage. But he also knows that in today's world, wanting to have free love is a fantasy. Even if he is willing, the question is which one Would a serious man allow his daughter to have private conversations with him?

Gu Liang's arrangement was relatively outrageous. Although he mainly respected Gu Zhen's own ideas, for Pei Yue, wasn't this an opportunity to observe the other party?

At least he has the right to refuse.

After studying the chess game, Gu Zhen slowly raised her head and said angrily: "Brother Pei, you deliberately used black to go first to confuse me. In the first three games, you defeated me with your strength, but you also let me see a glimmer of hope.

.After I exchange chess pieces with you, you will use a sure-win method to beat me in five games in a row."

He seems to have a good temper, but his brain——

Pei Yue sighed: "Can you even see the winning formula?"

Gu Zhen wrinkled the tip of her nose and said: "I'm not the fourth brother. Your style in the next five rounds is so different from the first three rounds that I can't deal with it at all. Moreover, your playing methods in the fourth and seventh rounds are very similar.

It’s just that the last two moves were in different directions.”

Pei Yue then smiled sheepishly and said, "Sister Gu is not angry, right?"

Gu Zhen said with a straight face: "You must be angry."

But the success was soon broken, and she smiled and said: "If you demonstrate all the winning formulas, I won't be angry."

Seeing the unyielding look in her eyes, Pei Yue nodded in agreement.

The two were immersed in the small chessboard world, and occasionally had arguments, but most of the time they talked happily.
