The little girl Shang Jinglan was very unhappy. She felt that today was really unlucky. She was overtaken by her younger sister Jing Hui in reciting poems one after another. She also lost miserably in the chess game with Zhang Yuan. Her younger sister is not easy to blame. If you want to blame, blame that one.
Mr. Zhang said: "Auntie, let's play a game of chess with Mr. Zhang. Auntie defeated him. He was very impressive before."
Shang Danran smiled and shook his head: "No." He thought to himself, "How does it sound like playing chess with a young man whom you have met for the first time?"
Shang Jinglan grabbed her aunt Shang Danran's hand and shook it. She twisted around and begged: "Auntie, let's play a game. Auntie, let's play a game. By the way, Mr. Zhang can play blindfolded chess. Let's cover his eyes."
, so that he can’t see his aunt, it’s in line with etiquette, right?”
Zhang Yuan over there couldn't hold back and laughed out loud.
Shang Danran's face was a little red, and he said slightly angrily: "Don't pester me, how about my aunt plays a game with you and gives you the fourth son?"
Shang Jinglan was very stubborn and would not give up until he achieved his goal. He pursed his lips and said, "I can't beat my aunt. My aunt and I play chess just like I play chess with Xiao Hui and Xiao Qi. It's boring——"
"No way." Xiao Jinghui interjected: "It's very interesting to play chess with my sister. The only thing is that my sister shouldn't kill too aggressively. It's better to let Xiao Hui get a few pieces."
Shang Jinglan sighed loudly, feeling that talking to this sister was really wrong: "Xiao Hui, you kid, please don't interrupt when sister and aunt are talking." She said to Shang Danran: "I can't beat my aunt, and I don't think I can beat her either.
That Mr. Zhang, that’s why it’s interesting for my aunt and Mr. Zhang to play chess——” Looking at the wind and rain, it was dark in the pavilion, and he added: “My aunt and Mr. Zhang will light up the lamp and play at night.”
Shang Danran quickly coughed. His niece Shang Jinglan was watching "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" recently. She liked Zhang Fei from Yan, so she fought for three hundred rounds at every turn. This was so childish in front of outsiders, which really made Shang Danran embarrassed.
, scolded: "If you don't obey me, I will never take you out to play again."
When Shang Jinglan was scolded by her aunt, she flattened her mouth and looked like she was about to cry.
Shang Jinghui on the side said in surprise: "Ah, sister is going to cry. If Xiao Hui doesn't cry, sister shouldn't cry either."
Saying this just added fuel to the fire. Shang Jinglan's mouth flattened and tears burst into her eyes.
Shang Danran quickly leaned over to wipe away his niece's tears and comforted her: "Okay, aunt will take you out to play, so stop crying."
The persistent Shang Jinglan sobbed and said, "Can my aunt and Mr. Zhang play chess?"
Shang Danran couldn't laugh or cry. He really couldn't do anything with his niece, but of course he couldn't agree to this matter. He was in a dilemma for a while——
Zhang Yuan heard what was going on here clearly. The little girl Shang Jinglan worked so hard to bring her together. He felt deeply, how could she be wronged, so he raised his voice and said: "Miss Shang, I can indeed deceive you."
If you want to play chess, you only need to tell me where the pieces are, and you don’t have to sit across from each other to play. The rain won’t stop for a while, so just let the two ladies Jinglan and Jinghui watch the fun."
Shang Jinglan's tears suddenly stopped and she looked at her aunt Shang Danran with blinking eyes.
Xiao Jinghui applauded: "Okay, okay."
Shang Danran knew that playing blindfolded chess required extraordinary mental arithmetic and memory abilities. He had heard about it but had never seen it before. He was a little curious. He looked at his two eager nieces and said "hmm" in a low voice.
Shang Jinglan immediately said loudly: "Mr. Zhang, my aunt has promised that this time I will kill you to the death."
"Speak softly." Shang Danran sat down next to the chessboard, arranged the seat, and seemed to be saying to himself: "The white chess piece goes first, and I will go to the official position." He picked up a white piece with his jade fingers and placed it on the upper right star Xiao Fei
hanging position.
Zhang Yuan responded: "Go to the other side." This was a low-pressure attack on Shang Danran's white stone, and he was determined to fight hand-to-hand.
Shang Danran picked up a black stone from the chess box and placed it on the position mentioned by Zhang Yuan, then picked up a white stone and dropped it, saying: "Go to the official position."
Zhang Yuan's reply was: "Go to the official position." This is Xiao Fei guarding the corner.
In less than a moment, more than thirty pieces were placed on the board, all concentrated in the upper left corner of the chessboard. Zhang Yuan's black piece occupied the corner, and another black piece separated Shang Danran's two white pieces.
With two pieces and three pieces still alive, the lone chess piece rushes towards the middle and fights, fighting to the death.
Shang Danran became more and more surprised as she played more and more chess. She had already played more than 50 moves. The upper right corner of the chessboard was densely packed with three chess pieces vying for survival. The situation was tight. She now had to think over and over again before making a move. But Zhang
Almost without thinking, as soon as she told the position of the white chess piece, Zhang Yuan would tell the corresponding position, as if there was a bigger chessboard in front of him and he could see it more clearly than she could.
Shang Danran was faced with a difficult situation. Two of her chess pieces were required to live, and the black chess piece only needed to take care of one piece. Shang Danran hesitated to pick up the chess piece. When he looked up, the six servant girls were still blocking the middle, and he could not see Zhang Yuan on the other side of the cabinet.
, he motioned to the maid to get out of the way, and then he saw Zhang Yuan, his master and his servant, standing at the entrance of the pavilion. Zhang Yuan's back was facing this way, the rain kept falling in, and the hem of his green shirt was half wet. Zhang Yuan was facing
It’s a stone wall with moss, an empty lake, and heavy rain. Of course, there is no chessboard——
Shang Danran thought to himself: "I can really play chess by mental arithmetic, and my chess skills are also very strong. It seems that I can't beat him. It's just a strong chess ability. This kind of memory is really rare." He concentrated his mind and had the courage to fight again, but there were two white pieces.
The chess piece was entangled with a black piece, resulting in a defeat where both sides could not take care of each other and one of them would die.
Shang Danran frowned and thought hard. Her two little nieces sat across from the chess table, both holding their chins with their hands, looking at the chess game, and then at their aunt——
Xiao Jinghui whispered to his sister: "Auntie seems to be unable to defeat Mr. Zhang's brother. Auntie is worried."
Shang Jinglan snorted and looked at the chess piece carefully. Her chess skills were much higher than Jing Hui's. She could see that her aunt's white chess piece was very dangerous. She couldn't make two eyes on the spot, and there was no way forward to break through.
This surprised Shang Jinglan. In her eyes, her aunt was almost omnipotent. She was proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting. How could she lose to Mr. Zhang in Go, and Mr. Zhang didn't even look at the chessboard?
Shang Danran thought about it for a long time but couldn't find a solution. She was about to give up when she looked up and saw her two little nieces staring at her. Then she suddenly had a cunning idea. With a smile on her lips, she said: "I'll look forward to seeing you in peace."
In this move, he did not make a move and waited quietly for Zhang Yuan's reply.
This time, Zhang Yuan could not immediately answer the question of where the hand should be. Instead, he said "Huh", squeezed and loosened his right hand, loosened and tightened it again, and started pacing back and forth, obviously encountering a problem.
Seeing that the smile on her aunt's face was getting stronger and stronger, almost overflowing with laughter, Xiao Jinghui said, "Auntie is still awesome. I have used a trick. Is Mr. Zhang going to lose?"
Shang Jinglan's eyes widened. She didn't understand where her aunt's "flat position looking at the leap" came from. How could it be so wonderful that she could turn defeat into victory in an instant!
Shang Danran looked at the young man in green shirt beside the pavilion who was pacing and thinking hard. She pressed her fist to her lips and tried to suppress a smile. Finally, she couldn't help but threw the white piece in her hand into the chess box and said:
"I lost." He turned around and held on to the fence of the pavilion, smiling non-stop at the lake outside the pavilion. His thin waist was trembling, and he couldn't stop laughing.
The little sisters Jinglan and Jinghui looked at each other, wondering why their aunt smiled so happily even though she gave up?
The six maids were also confused. Miss Dan Ran rarely behaved like this. What was going on?
Zhang Yuan turned around and suddenly realized: "So that's it. Miss Shang is teasing me. It makes me think so hard."
Shang Danran had slowly stopped laughing. Hearing what Zhang Yuan said, he couldn't help but start laughing again. He half-bent and didn't dare to look back, but he couldn't hide his laughter.
Zhang Yuan smiled and looked at the girl who was smiling wildly. He was really pleased that this girl was both elegant and harmonious. In fact, when Shang Danran said the chess move of "Ping position Wangrun", he knew that the girl was teasing him, because
There is already a chess piece in the "flat position, looking ahead" position, so it is impossible to stack it up. But it would be pointless to tell the truth right away, so I pretended to be confused and thought hard——
This is not pretending to be stupid, this is fun.
