When the pain finally disappeared, Zheng Yingci also put down his hands and opened his eyes again. His face was confused at first, then he regained consciousness and looked around.
"What are these people doing, hungover?" Zheng Yingci looked down upon the chess players who had lost the match, all of them looking haggard and uncomfortable.
It’s nothing more than a chess match, not a government examination. Who can show you this haggard and frustrated look?
But when I touched my face, I found that I couldn't even lift the corners of my mouth to force a smile.
This is not me!
Although the winner was a little girl, it really hurt Zheng Yingci's heart, but this little girl has real talent and knowledge. In chess games, the most capable person wins, regardless of age or status. Could it be that a little girl won the game?
, after entering the sixteenth round, you will feel resentful?
"Where's Miss Ye?" While doing this mental construction, Zheng Yingci heard that someone had found Ye Buhui.
Strange to say, why was Miss Ye not in the cabin just after the game? Not only was Miss Ye not here, Su Ziji was not here either.
Zheng Yingci frowned. Normally, this is nothing serious. Maybe he just went out?
But he suddenly felt a sense of suffocation, as if he had been betrayed by Su Ziji. However, Su Ziji had a mediocre relationship with him. Even if he knew him, there was no reason to hate his sister just because he won the competition, right? p>
Zheng Yingci was very puzzled by this sudden strange emotion in her - Zheng Yingci, Zheng Yingci, are you so narrow-minded?
Others seemed to be hostile to Su Ziji and Ye Buhui.
Someone sneered: "I just entered the 16th round and I disappeared. Could it be that I went to the deck to enjoy the breeze? I'm really in a good mood!"
"Oh, I am going to the capital. I have to ride the wind. Maybe I can win a name in the capital and come back in the future. Naturally, it is very different from the past. How can you still take us in your eyes?"
The person who spoke was so full of sourness that Zheng Yingci frowned when he heard it.
"I think Miss Ye is not such a person." Although Zheng Yingci was unhappy, she still explained.
Originally, everyone knew Zheng Yingci and gave them some respect. However, at this time, the chess player sneered and said in a very disrespectful manner: "Look? You know this person very well, so you can speak for someone like this? Could it be that you have fallen in love with that little kid?"
Girl?"
"Stop talking nonsense!" Zheng Yingci suddenly darkened her face.
"Am I wrong?" Thinking of Zheng Yingci and Su Ziji's acquaintance, the chess player felt resentful and depressed. At this time, he didn't care about Zheng Yingci's family background and vented his anger: "Everyone is
I came here to compete in the capital, do you really not mind if I am defeated by a little girl? I really don’t mind, I would like to tell you that you have a broad mind!"
This year, although women are not allowed to participate in chess competitions, there are only a few women who may come out on top.
The number of women learning chess alone has dropped significantly. Factoring in other factors, only three women have been awarded the title of chess saint in the past five hundred years.
Not only this chess player felt embarrassed that the woman had won, but many other chess players also showed dissatisfaction. This was supposed to be the nastiness that was suppressed in their hearts. For some reason, these people couldn't suppress it. They vented it out without caring about their face or demeanor.
.
Zheng Yingci frowned, naturally seeing that there seemed to be something wrong with the state of these people.
But this is not a big deal, it just seems to be a little over-emotional, somewhat similar to my own mood at this time, but I am more able to control it.
Although Zheng Yingci came from a good family, he couldn't say more at this time, lest he aroused public anger, so he could only say lightly: "Chess competitions are based on victory or defeat. Heroes are judged by victory or defeat. If you are not a national player at twenty, you will be hard to find in your lifetime. When will we see you?"
Age and gender?”
After saying that, he walked out, but there were still some arguments behind him.
Stepping out of the cabin and coming to the deck, although there were dark clouds and drizzle outside, it was basically calm and the water was the same color. There were other ships following not too far away in the distance, blowing a slightly humid lake breeze. Zheng Yingci
My mood got a little relief.
"Strange, I always feel that I have forgotten something important." He arched his fingers and tapped his temple lightly. Zheng Yingci felt that this feeling was really inexplicable.
He carefully went through what happened today and found that there were indeed no gaps.
The chess match lasted until late at night, and the winner was determined. Fourteen-year-old Ye Buhui won the first place.
"Maybe I lost the game and was in a low mood. I was affected by their words." Zheng Yingci found this reason for herself.
"Brother Zheng." At this moment, a voice came from behind.
As soon as Zheng Yingci turned around, he saw the two people whom everyone had not found just now - Su Ziji and Ye Buhui, standing behind him.
"So you are here." When Zheng Yingci saw these two people, the emotions he had just suppressed showed signs of rising again. He quickly suppressed them and said with a smile, but his expression was still a little unnatural.
Su Ziji looked at Zheng Yingci and sighed in his heart.
Not long ago, he was just an ordinary student. Even though he had a golden finger, he only helped himself with his studies. The imperial examination was the best way out for ordinary people.
But after the Shuifu chess game, things had deviated from the normal track and were flying in a direction that Ling couldn't understand.
Su Ziji sighed lightly, without showing it on his face, and said to Zheng Yingci: "Yes, it was too stuffy in the cabin, so I came out to get some air."
"Miss Ye, I didn't have time to say congratulations to you just now. This time you entered the 16th round and you can go to the capital. You will definitely have a bright future in the future." Zheng Yingci nodded and smiled. He cupped his hands to Ye Buhui and said with a smile, he is worthy of his good background.
This magnanimity alone surpasses many people.
Seeing that he congratulated her, Ye Buhui hurriedly thanked him, and it suddenly dawned on him that even Zheng Yingci, who had won second place, did not remember the truth.
"The show is about to end, why don't we say goodbye to others? Besides, we still have to get the documents to the capital." Zheng Yingci looked at the sky and knew that the boat trip was about to end. Thinking of other people's attitudes towards Su Ziji and Ye Buhui, he couldn't bear it.
I couldn't help but give another advice.
Su Ziji's five senses were much more sensitive at this time, and he could hear some of the quarrels and discussions just now.
Zheng Yingci mentioned this with good intentions. Although she had something on her mind, she took one look at Ye Buhui and felt that if she wanted to continue her career in chess, she should not be too withdrawn, and at least she should have a decent demeanor.
"It should be like this." Su Ziji nodded repeatedly.
Ye Buhui is good at this. She has a more straightforward temperament and does not mince words. In fact, she is only interested in playing chess. She doesn't understand social matters and is too lazy to deal with it.<
/p>
But she has one advantage: she can still understand good intentions, and she can keep them in mind when others treat her well and obey them under appropriate circumstances.
Su Ziji whispered a few words. Ye Buhui was a little unhappy. It was not his fault. Why did he have to say hello to them first? But after thinking about it, he nodded and turned around to enter the cabin.
This was a trivial matter, so Su Ziji didn't follow him. He thought of something and asked, "Brother Zheng, you are familiar with people. Do you know if there is a lady named Hu on this boat?"
"There are several female relatives in this boat, but only your sister is a chess player. I haven't heard of the lady named Hu." Zheng Yingci thought for a while and agreed.
