On this day, in the lobby of Zuihong Mansion, a striking red notice was posted: Make friends with chess. Under the red notice, there was a huge chessboard. The chessboard was hard and exquisitely made. A closer look revealed that it was made by a superior
It is carved from Lantian warm jade. The black and white stones are all round and smooth, but the bottoms have been smoothed so that they can be better laid out on the chessboard. People with a discerning eye exclaimed, it turns out that the black and white stones are
Made of top-quality South Sea black and white pearls. Regardless of the chess game, this chess set alone is priceless.
The onlookers were puzzled. They didn't understand what Zuihonglou meant by setting up such a chess game at this time.
"Haha, hello everyone!" Mother Wu appeared in front of everyone dressed in bright red.
"Mother Wu, what's going on? Is it possible that this chess game was also staged by Miss Weiyu?" A gorgeously dressed businessman asked Mother Wu excitedly.
"Hey, Master, you are so smart. Yes, this is the exquisite chess game that our girl Wei Yu has set up. Please take a look. This chess game is called Zhenlong Chess Game. Nearly half of the black and white stones have been placed, but it is still
It's an endgame, and the winner has not yet been determined." Mother Wu explained calmly.
"Mother Wu, why did Miss Weiyu put up such a mess?" someone in the crowd asked.
"Also, don't be impatient. As you all know, recently, many people admire Miss Weiyu's reputation and come to ask for a meeting. On the one hand, we, Miss Weiyu, sympathize with your hard work and arrange time to meet you; but on the other hand, we
, because there are too many people, Miss Weiyu is really unable to cope with it, and she is more than willing but not strong enough. There are only a few people who can meet every day, and whoever she chooses to meet will be considered biased. In order to show fairness, Weiyu
The girl deliberately set up this Zhenlong chess game, and based on the outcome of the chess game, she got the chance to meet Miss Weiyu. In this way, everyone has a chance and everyone has equal opportunities. Wouldn’t it be better!” Mother Wu’s eyes were filled with laughter.
It was so narrow that only a crack was left.
"This method is very wonderful. Miss Weiyu is really beautiful." A man who looked like a scholar looked at the chess game and was eager to try it.
"Sir, wait a moment. Before we decide the winner of this Zhenlong chess game, I have a few small requests that I have to tell everyone first." Mother Wu stopped the scholar with a smile.
"Mother Wu, why are you out of breath when you speak? Hurry up and say what you want." A bearded charlatan urged loudly.
"Everyone is a discerning person, and you also know that this chess piece and the chess equipment alone are priceless. Everyone who comes to challenge Zhenlong chess game will inevitably play indiscriminately sometimes, and it is inevitable that the chess equipment will be damaged. Therefore,
, before making a move, anyone who wants to challenge the Zhenlong chess game must first hand over 100 taels of gold as compensation in case the chess equipment is damaged. If the chess game is completed and the chess equipment is not damaged, the 100 taels of gold will be returned in full.
In addition, the next piece will be worth one tael of gold. So, those of you who want to challenge must think carefully." After Wu's mother finished speaking, the whole place fell into silence. After a while, discussions started to spread, and the discussion became more and more intense.
"Mother Wu, your chess game is about making friends through chess, but you are asking for a sky-high price. This chess game cannot be played anymore. What I am pursuing is the kind of wonderful marriage where a talented man and a beautiful woman fall in love with each other. The price of this girl Weiyu
It's too high, I can't bear to see you." The scholar just now looked sad and angry.
"Mother Wu, this one hundred taels of deposit is acceptable, but the rule of one piece of gold and one tael of gold is really unkind." A wealthy young man looked embarrassed. One tael of gold is enough to cover his monthly expenses.
.Just for a chess game with no outcome? It’s really not worth it.
Suddenly, opposition arose.
Just when Mother Wu was about to lose control of the situation, a cold voice with huge shocking power passed through the crowd and exploded in the crowd.
"The brothel is a place for you to have fun. You come here just to be at ease. This is not a charity hall. Don't say anything fair or unfair here. Since you want to see me, I'm not just here.
Everyone can see it. If you want to get something but are unwilling to give anything, how can there be such a cheap thing in the world? Even if it is, it is probably a trap set by others to ask for you. If you lose a child, you will lose everything.
Two golds. That's the price. If you think it's too much, you don't have to come. I won't force you. But don't always complain that our price is unfair. This will only make people think you can't afford to lose." A snow-white drizzle
, standing on the balcony, like the bright moonlight, cold and noble. At this time, she spoke indifferently.
After she finished speaking, the whole place became extremely smooth for a moment.
"Miss Weiyu is such a sweetheart. I really admire you, so I'm going to challenge this chess game first. I hope God will have mercy on me and give me the opportunity to have a heart-to-heart talk with Miss Weiyu." The bearded man took out a brocade bag and said,
He threw it on the chessboard and sat down to wait for another challenger to play against him.
"What Miss Weiyu said is so good! I hope I can have a chance to have a drink with you." Another man with a dark face and a brocade robe also drank enthusiastically, threw a black brocade bag, and then sat down.
On the other side of the chessboard.
The turtle slave stepped forward to check the two bags, and then loudly said the number of gold taels in the two brocade bags. The black brocade bag contained 150 taels of gold, and the golden brocade bag contained 200 taels of gold.
, the crowd burst into bursts of surprise.
"Two gentlemen, there is something special about this Zhenlong chess game. It is limited to one stick of incense. According to the rules of chess, the person who gets two pieces first will be the winner. Of course, it is a 'fake' win, considering that everyone has traveled thousands of miles to win.
Coming here, this is a convenient place specially designed for everyone by Miss Weiyu." Mother Wu explained with a smile.
"Haha, it's just two of us, so what's the problem! It seems that I'm going to have a conversation with Miss Weiyu Bingzhuye. Haha!" The bearded man laughed loudly.
"Humph, we still don't know who will win. Don't get too complacent too early." The swarthy man warned.
"Then I wish you both great success! Based on the principle of first come, first served, the man who comes first will make the first move." Mother Wu waved for people to light the incense and then withdrew.
Looking at the chess game, the tall man with the cheeks took the lead to land a white piece, and then the dark man also dropped a black piece. After that, the two of them gradually fell into deep thought. Time passed slowly, and the stick of incense was almost burned out.
"Haha, you two, the time has come. Neither of you got the second piece first, and the chess equipment is intact, so I only collect two pieces of gold from each of you. The remaining gold from these two
Count in two. You two are counting, there is no mistake." Mother Wu returned the two brocade bags to the two of them. They counted them in detail and found that they were 199 taels and 149 taels respectively. The numbers were correct.
"I've learned a lot today. Mom, you don't know. Since I started traveling all over the world, I have talked countless times. I thought that my chess skills had reached the level of a master. Unexpectedly, Miss Weiyu's endgame today made me feel ashamed.
It’s so great. It’s true that ‘There is a world outside the sky, and there are people outside the world’!” The dark-skinned man said with emotion.
On the other side, the bearded man was full of admiration. "Mother Wu doesn't know that I come from a martial arts family. My father taught me strictly when I was young, especially chess. It is good for people who practice martial arts to cultivate their character. I thought I would have few opponents.
I didn't expect... I'm going to practice my chess skills hard now, so that I can have the opportunity to play chess with Miss Wei Yu over wine, that's enough. Farewell!" After saying that, the bearded man left Zuihong Mansion.
From then on, Weiyu's reputation spread even further because of this Zhenlong chess game.
