Ning Tianze fell into silence after listening to Jingwan's words.
"Grandpa, if the opponent is someone else, I wouldn't worry, but if the opponent is Feng Junhan, I'm not sure of winning!" Jingwan said.
This is indeed the most powerful opponent she has ever encountered in her life. Although she has never seen his chess skills, just looking at his strategizing skills, Ning Jingwan knows that he is extraordinary.
Today's Tranquility Wan is wearing a floor-length violet floral gauze skirt, a white printed brocade, a red gold nine-turn exquisite bracelet on her hand as smooth as cream, and a soft silk sash tied around her waist. The whole person is white and flawless, elegant and beautiful.
Ning Tianze stood in front of the large book desk, looking at Wan'er who was getting dusty after not seeing him for a long time, with a solemn expression, "Wan'er, come here!"
Ning Jingwan stood up, knowing that her grandfather had something to say to her, and stood quietly beside her grandfather, looking at the chess game in front of her.
"Wan'er, the way of chess cannot only focus on chess skills. It must have all five of them: art, character, reason, rules, and etiquette. This is the way of chess. Chess skills and chess skills are the tactics and strategies of the game, and their changes vary from person to person.
The skill of chess is the skill that practice makes perfect, and the quality of chess is the embodiment of character."
Jingjing Wan nodded lightly, "Grandpa, I know!"
Ning Tianze said slowly: "The secret of chess theory is that when it is poor, it is forbidden, when it is forbidden, it is changed, when it is changed, it is open, and when it is open, it will end. It is similar to the Book of Changes. When it is poor, it is changed, when it is changed, it is open, and when it is open, it will last. The two are connected."
Ning Jingwan's expression became more and more serious. Feng Junhan must be someone who is well versed in the principles of chess!
"Wan'er, the way of chess is the real way of fighting. There are very few people who can understand the way of chess. The way of chess is by no means a tool for entertainment."
Ning Tianze looked at Jing Wan meaningfully, "Wan'er, the Tao is very Tao!"
Tranquility Wan was silent, and grandpa was telling himself that chess skills vary from person to person and cannot be generalized.
"Wan'er, people often talk about chess, calligraphy and painting. In fact, it should be chess, chess, calligraphy and painting. Chess is the real number one!"
Jingjing Wan raised her eyes and looked at her grandfather, "Why?"
Ning Tianze smiled, "The theory of chess is difficult. Playing chess means you are wiser, braver, more magnanimous, and have a better style. Qin comes second because of your skill and expressing your ideas. Chess is the first, so it is heaven. When masters play chess, they pay attention to their state of mind!"
"
Ning Jingwan was silent. Feng Junhan must also know this truth! He doesn't want to play the piano or draw anything by himself, but to test his own chess skills, because through his own chess skills, he can test his own depth and see his own details.
!
Ning Jingwan bit her lips tightly, Feng Junhan was testing herself step by step.
Ning Tianze added: "The deepest part of chess is the battle between people. Sun Tzu said: Know yourself and the enemy, and you will never be defeated in a hundred battles. But anyone who plays chess will definitely have a preference!"
Seeing that Ning Ning Wan remained silent, Ning Tianze said lovingly: "Wan'er, do you understand?"
Jingjing Wan nodded, "There is no fixed method for chess, and it is ever-changing. We must remain unchanged to cope with the ever-changing changes!"
Ning Tianze smiled and nodded, "If the enemy doesn't move, I won't move. If the enemy moves, I'll move first!"
Jingwan playfully stretched out her arms, hugged her grandfather's neck, and showed an elf-like smile: "Grandpa, I know!"
Ning Tianze smiled fondly and said, "Also, only by not being arrogant in victory and not discouraged in defeat can you finally understand the way of chess!"
Jingjing Wan stuck out her tongue playfully, "Grandpa, I don't believe that Feng can beat me every time!"
"Wan'er, the battle between you and him will last for a long time. Victory or defeat is a matter of military strategists, so you should be careful not to do so!" Grandpa's voice had a heavy, time-honored tone.
Of course Jingjing Wan knew her grandfather's worries, but she didn't want to be upset by Feng Junhan during the rare reunion between her ancestors and her grandson. She pretended to be relaxed and said: "Grandpa, he is just showing off his power in front of me because he is a prince and his imperial power is supreme.
Yes, arrogant, if he is a commoner like me, he may not be my opponent!"
Grandpa looked at Jing Wan's energetic face, laughed heartily, poked Jing Wan's eyebrows with his hand, and said dotingly: "You girl, I really can't do anything to you!"

At night, Ning Jingwan came to her mother's room and felt a touch of sadness in her heart when she looked at the room that had not been occupied for many years.
How many years has passed before this place still retains its original appearance?
Outside the window, there is still the bright moon from many years ago, and on the strings of the pipa, I don’t know whose lovesickness is flowing?
Things change, stars change, time passes and circumstances change, the wind and smoke are quiet, the mountains and rivers remain the same, only the feelings on paper remain.
There are words stained by wind and frost on the bookcase: There is a beautiful person, clear and graceful, we meet by chance, it suits my wish.
Jingjing Wan quietly looked at the well-preserved paper in front of her. She knew whose handwriting it was, Prince Jiang, that is, her father's handwriting.
Who mistook whom? Who can tell clearly? Life is like a brilliant red apricot blossom. Spring goes and spring comes back. Dreams are drunk and dreams wake up, without asking about the way back or the cause.
The night was dark, cool as water, and there was a low cough coming from outside. It was particularly alarming in this late night, as if the cough was on Jing Jingwan's heart.
"Grandpa, it's so late, why aren't you sleeping yet?" Ning Jingwan said angrily.
The newly added silver strands on Grandpa's temples deeply hurt Jingjing Wan's eyes, "Grandpa, am I too willful? If I had not gone to Prince Jiang's Mansion, I would have been able to stay with you now!"
Grandpa smiled calmly, and there was an indescribable loneliness in his words: "Grandpa is getting old, and he can no longer stay with Wan'er for the rest of his life. Wan'er has been studying my Ning family's astrology and sound control skills since she was a child, and she has read almost all the poems and books in the world.
, naturally we know that everything has yin and yang, and life has five elements. If some things are destined, there is always no way to escape!"
Is it destined? Ning Jingwan felt a little strange in her heart when she thought of Feng Junhan.

Not long after returning to Jinxiu Villa, this morning, before dawn, Jingping Wan was awakened by a knock on the door. She frowned and asked, what happened? "Linlang, what happened?"
Linlang said in an anxious voice: "Miss, Uncle Fu said someone from Ruyi Gambling House is looking for you!"
Ruyi Gambling House? Tranquility Wan's heart skipped a beat, and her sleepiness disappeared without a trace. It was definitely not Mo Yan. If it were Mo Yan, he would never disturb his dream before he even got up!
Ning Jing Wan hurriedly got up, and when it was dawn, she came to the front hall and saw the dusty steward of Ruyi Gambling House walking around with an anxious look on his face. Uncle Fu was beside him from time to time comforting her. Ning Jing Wan frowned, could it really be true?
Did something happen to Mo Yan?
"Miss!" Fu Bo said.
Jing Jing Wan nodded. As soon as the steward of Ruyi Gambling House saw Jing Wan, he said anxiously: "Miss Ning, something happened to our young master!"
Jingjing Wan frowned and said, "What's going on?"
The manager anxiously drank a cup of tea handed to him by Lin Lang, not even taking a breath: "A few days ago, a group of government officials suddenly came to our gambling house, saying that our Ruyi Gambling House colluded with Jiangyang thieves to clean up the stolen money.
Fang, even the young master has been imprisoned in the prison of the Criminal Division!"
Ning Jingwan's heart sank and her eyebrows furrowed: "How could this happen?"
The steward sighed heavily, "Yes, Miss Ning, you don't know, how can you be so clear about the things in this world? Who doesn't go to our place? The relationship between the young master and his superiors is usually very good.
Okay, this happened too suddenly! I searched everywhere for information, but made no progress, so I had to rush all night to find Miss Ning! "
Jingjing Wan lowered her eyes, how could she sit idly by and ignore Mo Yan's matter?
Ning Jingwan pondered for a long time. Just like the court, it was impossible to be so clear. Besides, the people who went to gambling houses were from all walks of life! It is not unreasonable to use this reason to seal up Ruyi Gambling House, but it can
Mo Yan, who runs the largest gambling house in the capital, is not an ordinary person. How come he didn't hear any news about it?
However, the current situation is unclear and we cannot make a judgment easily.
The steward looked at the calm Miss Ning, and suddenly felt much more at ease with his anxious heart!
Ning Jingwan touched her long and slender fingers, thinking that Mo Yan had been imprisoned in the Sentence Division Prison for several days. It took nine days to travel from the capital to Jinxiu Villa. The steward had to travel day and night to get here, which would take at least five or six days.
, I wonder how Mo Yan is doing now?
Ning Jingwan stood up immediately, "Uncle Fu, I have to go back to Beijing and tell grandpa for me!" It was not bright yet, so I didn't know if grandpa had gotten up.
Uncle Fu said: "Yes, Miss!"
Jing Jing Wan told Linlang to pack her things and prepare the carriage. It was already dawn. Jing Jing Wan looked at the familiar Jinxiu Villa, her clear eyes gradually becoming hazy.
"Miss!" Before the carriage started, Uncle Fu ran over panting, holding a brocade box in his hand, "I asked you to take this with you!"
Jing Jingwan suppressed the sourness in her heart, took the brocade box and held it in her arms, "Tell grandpa that I will come back as soon as possible!"
Uncle Fu's eyes were deep, with a hint of helplessness and regret, "Don't worry, miss, I will take good care of you!"
Jingjing Wan smiled slightly, "Thank you, Uncle Fu!"
★★★
Jinxiu Villa is a long way from the capital, so going back and forth like this, by the time we return to the capital, it has been a month since Ning Jingwan left the capital last time.
Ning Jingwan was also a little anxious in her heart. The prison of the Criminal Division was a place for people to stay?
This is probably the first time for a person like Mo Yan to visit such a place in his life!
Tranquility Wan stood in front of the gate of Ruyi Gambling House, which used to be bustling with people. Now it is empty, the door is closed tightly, and there is a government seal on it. You can imagine the deathly silence inside!
Although the steward is well-informed, has been in the world for a long time, and has some connections, he is at a loss now and has no way to ask for help. Fortunately, there is Miss Ning.
Money is flowing like water, and I can finally see the young master.
Ning Ning Wan brought the steward of Ruyi Gambling House to the sentencing prison.
In the prison, the air seemed to be thick with water vapor, and there was a rotten smell in the dark void. The prison guards escorted people in prison uniforms past, and the iron chains clanked against each other, making a clanging sound, like a heavy roar.
This seems to be a corner that has been forgotten and despised by the world. It is separated by a wall. There is bright sunshine in autumn outside the wall, but inside the prison is gloomy and decayed.
Jingjing Wan frowned deeply, this place is really a hell on earth.
The steward gave each jailer a check with a smile on his face, "Thank you, brother, for being so accommodating!"
