Chapter 0022: The secret of official chess and cards
At this time, Mrs. Wen and Mrs. Dong walked out of the inner court with smiles on their faces.
"Haha, you two little guys are actually playing chess. Who loses and who wins." Old Mrs. Wen said cheerfully.
He is very familiar with his granddaughter's chess skills. It can be said that he has the best chess skills. She has even been trained by a ninth-level Go master. In addition, she has been smart since she was a child.
There is no one left who thinks that Le Fan will definitely be killed.
"Grandpa, he's so good at pretending! He said he couldn't play chess, but we played all ten games at Danghu." The girl in military uniform said aggrievedly.
"How's it going?" Mr. Wen was a little nervous.
"I didn't win a single game, he's so good at pretending!" The girl in military uniform almost cried with grievance, tears welling up in her eyes.
She had been playing chess since elementary school and inherited his grandfather's hobby. She was almost invincible in front of her peers. However, this time she fell into the hands of Le Fan. She felt really aggrieved and felt that more than ten years of hard training were completely in vain.
.
"Oh, I lost. Winning or losing is a normal thing for military officers. It's nothing." Old Mrs. Wen's voice became very deep. He felt uncomfortable in his heart. He felt sorry for his granddaughter. At the same time, he felt an indescribable joy in his heart.
That's an inexplicable appreciation.
He is a soldier, and he knows that Go masters are also strategic masters. When chess pieces are used in the army, they represent legions charging into battle; when used in officialdom, they represent individuals who can influence the political situation.
political power.
In his mind, if you can play Go well, you can play officialdom.
At the beginning, he continued to train his granddaughter, on the one hand to relieve boredom, and on the other hand, he was also consciously or unconsciously cultivating her strategic abilities.
Otherwise, how could she have achieved the rank of major at such a young age?
"Lele, you stupid donkey, why don't you know how to let your sister go!" Although Mrs. Dong doesn't understand how to play Go, she lives in a high-level position and knows that many old men from the Taihuanghui who have retired have nothing to do.
, either choose calligraphy, painting, or choose chess, cards, and also form all kinds of messy associations and so on.
What they did was extremely sophisticated.
First of all, this is a smoke screen. To outsiders, these people have completely withdrawn from the political arena after retiring and no longer interfere in political affairs. When they encounter some dilemmas, they can use this as an excuse to push them away. To put it bluntly,
, this move is called "advancing and retreating freely".
Secondly, through these interests and hobbies, various associations are formed. Through the associations, you can form cliques freely and accumulate connections for your descendants. At the same time, they also continue to snowball and gather strength behind the scenes. This
The trick is called "weaving a net behind the scenes".
Finally, the various so-called associations, the various calligraphy and painting exhibitions, chess and card games, etc., are just an event on the surface, but behind them there is a very profound political meaning, because a
Activities require financial support, leadership attendance, VIP room discussions, etc. There is a performance in front of the curtain, but behind the scenes is the recruitment and search for available talents.
For example, in Go, after a Go game, one can judge the person's inner strategy and courage through their Go level.
The same is true for calligraphy, painting, chess, bridge, etc. The inner connotation of a person cannot usually be seen, but through these games, you can get a glimpse and know the whole thing. As the saying goes - the writing is like the person, this calligraphy, painting, chess, etc.
, the same goes for bridge, etc.
This kind of game has a history of thousands of years, and it is no exception at home and abroad, especially the Chinese culture, which is extensive and profound. According to legend, chess originated from Chinese chess, and was later introduced to Persia. After evolution, it was also introduced to Europe and formed
European chess and card culture.
The four major international board games are Go, Xiangqi, International Chess, and Japanese Shogi. In fact, Shogi also originated in China and evolved on the basis of Xiangqi.
It can be seen that since the era of feudal emperors, this culture of using calligraphy, painting, and card games to engage in behind-the-scenes struggles for political interests has existed and has developed to this day. Although the forms are diverse, the essence has not changed.
In short, having said a lot, the knowledge of Go is quite profound. It is not only a chess game, but also a political war and a military exercise.
If you are lucky enough to compete with high-level political figures, your future prospects are limitless.
It's just that Le Fan doesn't understand this, and he seems a little immature when playing moves, and doesn't know the secrets of handicap, draw, and victory over Qi.
Just like today, he fought a girl in military uniform for ten rounds and won every round. This is innocuous. It can only be like what Mrs. Dong said. She is a completely dull donkey who doesn't know how to show mercy to women. If he meets someone like Mr. Wen
, if you win ten out of ten games, it is considered that you don’t know the sky and the earth, and the best way is a draw or a small defeat.
This kind of culture cannot be learned by Le Fan in the orphanage. If he wants to get involved in the officialdom, especially a very high-ranking official, if he cannot practice this kind of skill, it will be difficult to develop further in the future.
If you can use it flexibly and master it accurately, you will be like a fish in water and even more powerful in the officialdom.
In addition to these board games, Le Fan also needs to master the game of mahjong.
The knowledge of this mahjong is basically the He Zong Lian Heng of the Warring States Period. Although it looks peaceful on the surface, on the card table, the hands are drawing, touching, and playing cards, but under the card table, they are hooking and kicking with their feet.
, also very busy.
The strategies and tactics of vertical and horizontal situations are completed by hooking and stepping. Sometimes, accidentally, it also hooks up the luck of a beautiful woman's lap.
"It seems that Lele doesn't understand such exquisite knowledge as board games, calligraphy and painting. Being able and having potential is just one aspect. If he doesn't understand the subtle connotations, it will not be a blessing for him in the future, but a curse. Go back
After that, I have to talk to him carefully so that he will not suffer from this in the future." Mrs. Dong thought to herself.
At the same time, the girl in military uniform looked at the aggrieved girl and said with a smile: "Oh, look at my dim eyesight. I didn't expect that more than ten years have passed. Our lovely and good girl in childhood, Rui Rui, has grown into a beautiful flower."
She has become a grown-up girl. She is really a grown-up girl. I didn’t even recognize her at the door. Come on, come on, this is the jade bracelet I always carry. Put it on quickly.”
Mrs. Dong took her hand and put it on her personally.
The pair of jade bracelets exuded a warm luster, making them extraordinary at first glance.
The girl in military uniform originally wanted to refuse, but when she saw Mr. Wen nodding, she thanked him repeatedly and the aggrieved look on her face disappeared.
"Oh my god, I always thought she was Mr. Wen's personal secretary, but I didn't expect she was his granddaughter! It's over! It's over! This time I've stung a hornet's nest." Le Fan thought to himself.
