The Most Romantic of the Three Kingdoms

Vol 5 Chapter 104: The best way to play chess is long slant

It was Zhou Liang, the right officer of Handan, who asked to see Xun Zhen.レm♠思♥Road♣客レ

There were two county magistrates in Handan, the left captain Li Cang was cast under Xun Zhen's gate, and the right captain Zhou Liang was an old official. Drive away, said a lot of bad things about Xun Zhen in front of Duan Cong, and now Duan Cong patted his **** and left, he has no backer, and was afraid that Xun Zhen would punish him, so he dared to pay tribute to the soft.

It's just that Xun Zhen didn't pay attention to the big thing for him.

Xun Zhen saw that he was rambling about, full of flattery, and nothing serious, so she didn't bother to talk to him, and dismissed him on the pretext of official business. Zhou Liang returned to the house in despair, with all the words Xun Zhen said when he sent him away: "I have been away from the county for a few months, and I have accumulated a lot of documents and documents. If you have nothing else to do, please go home." , sat there for a night, and then went home early in the morning after hanging up the seal.

When Xun Zhen first arrived in Zhao County last year, Zhou Liang was thinking about how to drive him away. Although Xun Zhen has always been modest and restrained in dealing with others, before he knew it, his prestige in Zhao County was unmatched. ..

...

After returning to Handan, King Zhao, Liu Heng, Huang Zong and others invited Xun Zhen separately to celebrate his achievements.

Xun Zhen was not a good person to entertain, but these banquets had to be attended to, and it was only after three or four days of drinking celebration wine that it stopped.

It's almost mid-April, and the weather turns hot.

This rì Xunzhen returned to the city from the barracks outside the county, and it started to rain on the way.

Along the way, the drizzle is like smoke, and the mountains are green, the wheat in the fields along the road turns yellow, and in the orchard of an unknown family in the distance, green plums and apricots hang on the branches, passing a village, women and children are in the shade. under the mulberry trees, repairing farm tools, or holding poles to beat mulberries.

After more than half a year of recuperation, although the current Zhao County is still not comparable to that before the war, but in terms of the beauty of the farmhouse in front of me, it is better than the Changshan, Wei, Julu and other counties that have suffered from thieves. How much went up, it was like two people's rooms.

Among them are Xun Zhen's credit and Liu Heng's credit. Xun Zhen fought the thieves to pacify the chaos, and Liu Heng managed the people and helped the farmers, and the two cooperated tacitly.

Xun Zhen lifted the curtain of the car and watched the scenery of the countryside under the rain, feeling quite satisfied.

Liu Bei, who was in the same car with Xun Zhen, smiled and said, "Lieutenant, there has been a nursery rhyme circulating in the county in recent months. I wonder if the lieutenant has heard it?"

"What nursery rhyme?"

"The old song of the father said: 'Liu Yuanzai, plant my fields, Xun Zhenzhi, and let me live in peace.'"

"Yuanzai" is Liu Heng's word, but this nursery rhyme is praising Xun Zhen and Liu Heng. This is not the first nursery rhyme to praise Xun Zhen. As early as in Yingchuan, the elders of Yingchuan used nursery rhymes to praise Xun Zhen, who was then the postal supervisor in the north.

When the old Yingchuan father sang "Why is it late?", Xun Zhen was focused on the improvement, and he didn't have much feeling except for the hilarity. Now, when he hears the old man in Zhao Jun sing for him, his mentality is different from that of the past. A little less coursing, a little more satisfaction. "I live in peace", just three words made him feel that the efforts in the past six months were all worth it.

Accompanied by the rustling sound of the drizzle hitting the hood of the car, Xun Zhen and his party returned to Handan County.

When we arrived at the Lieutenant's Mansion, the sun was setting in the west, and the rain was picturesque.

Liu Bei and other officials returned to their residences. Xun Zhen walked under the misty rain with an umbrella, and also returned to the back residence.

There are several locust trees planted near the wall in the house. The crowns of the trees are higher than the wall, the branches and leaves are dense, and the locust trees are in full bloom, which can be seen from a distance.

Most of the government officials in the mansion have dissipated their value, no longer the lively and quiet time. Hearing the sound of rain, smelling the fragrance of flowers, stepping on the moss on the flagstone road, and strolling leisurely into the back house, Xun Zhen only felt soothed and comfortable. He hadn't had such a relaxing moment in a long time.

Chen Zhi, Tang Er, and Maid Chi probably also liked the rain in the early summer. They ordered their maids to hold up a colorful curtain in the courtyard. The three of them were sitting under the curtain and playing chess around a jade chessboard. When they saw Xun Zhen When he came back, he hurriedly abandoned the chess game. Chen Zhiyi greeted him, and Chi Mai and Tang Er greeted him.

The husband and wife in this world pay attention to "the husband and wife are obedient". Xun Zhen did not think that Chen Zhi was young and had always respected her very much. She paid a salute and said with a smile: "Beauty with colorful curtains, play chess when you hear the rain. Azhi, you are so elegant. also."

Chen Zhi's face was slightly red, as if she was embarrassed by being "caught" by Xun Zhen that she "wasn't doing a proper job, and was playing without fun", and replied, "I thought my husband would be home late, so I played chess to kill off my leisure time."

Playing chess is said to originate from the "makeup play" of court ladies in the former Han Dynasty. It is also said that it was made by Dongfang Shuo or Liu Xiang of the former Han Dynasty imitating Cuju. Wang Mang entered the people in the last years of his life and prevailed in wealthy and noble families. The specific play method is as follows: "The two players are playing, with six white and black chess pieces each. The first chess game is equal, and the first chess game is played." In short, this game is a game of two people, each holding six pieces of different colors, taking turns to pop out their pieces to hit the opponent's piece, and if they hit, they will remove the opponent's piece from the chessboard. , and continue to bounce, if you can't hit, switch to the other side to bounce, and the one who hits all the opponent's pieces first is the winner.

Xun Zhen sat down with great interest and watched the chess game. Seeing that it was a new game, she asked with a smile, "Who won the last game and who lost?"

Chen Zhi replied, "The concubine and Tang Erfang played against each other, and the concubine lost."

The rules of the game of playing chess seem simple, but it is not easy to play well.

The reason is very simple, because: the chess game of playing chess is not flat, "its game square is two feet, and the center is as high as a pylon", the zhōngyāng of the chess game has a bulge shaped like a bonnet, and the six pieces of the opposing sides are all at the beginning of the game. It is placed behind this "covered yoke", that is to say, if you want to hit the opponent's chess piece, you must first bypass this covered yoke, which is very skillful.

Xun Zhen smiled and said, "I lost? How can I not! Come, come, Tanger, you and I have a match. Azhi, watch me avenge you."

Chen Zhi pursed her lips and smiled, and said, "My concubine wishes my husband a victory."

Everyone was seated, Xun Zhen and Tang Er were facing each other, Chen Zhi was on Xun Zhen's left, and Chi Mai was on Xun Zhen's right.

The chess pieces have been placed. Xun Zhen's side is a black piece. The six black pieces are lined up. They are placed behind the spittoon and placed near the bottom edge of the chess game.

Xun Zhen said generously, "Tang'er, you play first."

Tang Er smiled and said, "You are a parent, and your son is a slave, how dare you go first?"

In the past in Yingyīn, Xun Zhen played this game with Tang Er a lot in her spare time, and the two knew each other's abilities very well. Xun Zhen heard her let herself go first, knew what she meant, and said to herself, "Tang Er is giving me a chance to express." Now she no longer yielded, she picked up a chess piece, smiled and said to Chen Zhi and Mai Chi, "Ah Zhi, Ah Chong, let's see how I can win with one blow!"

The so-called "one hit to win" is to hit the opponent's six pieces at one time. Cai Yong, a talented man who is now an official in the court, wrote an article "Danqi Fu", in which there is a sentence that says: "If you put one off, you will lose six. With Zhu", the evildoer is also killed, which means that one defeats six.

Chen Zhi and Chi Mai held their breath and watched him play marbles.

Xun Zhen looked at the positions of Tang Er's six pieces, calculated the distance between the six pieces and the distance between the piece on the farthest edge and the side of the board, and put the pieces picked up in her hand. In the chess game, the pieces cannot leave the game when playing chess. Chen Zhi and Concubine Chi held their breath and watched, only to see Xun Zhen pushing the chess piece diagonally with her fingertips.

The ejected chess piece was like chasing the stars and chasing the moon, and slanted into the fence on the side of the chess game. Under the force, it just bypassed the cover in the game and folded into the game on Tanger's side. "Long ring, hit six pieces one after another, but it really was a one-shot victory. In order to reduce the friction between the pieces and the game, talcum powder is sprinkled on the game, and the powder rises as the pieces hit one after another.

Chen Zhi and Maid Chi were overjoyed and applauded.

The maid Chi said happily: "Master Xun, is this the 'Changxie'? It's amazing."

Long oblique, also known as oblique play, the so-called long refers to the distance that the chess piece slides, and the oblique means that the chess piece hits the obstacle while sliding and changes direction suddenly. In playing chess, this is a kind of difficult to master Skills, using the long-slope technique, it is even more difficult to hit the opponent's six sons with one strike. Playing chess is popular among wealthy and noble families. Chi Mai has never played it before, and she just learned it from Tang Er not long ago.

Xun Zhen smiled and said: "What is this? In the past, when I was studying from my brother Zhong, I heard him say that there is a man in Nanyang who can play chess with a scarf and is always victorious, and there is another man in Luoyang who can play chess with a scarf. Between pitching and pitching, it is invincible, that is the real skill."

After all, playing chess with a handkerchief still uses the hands. Playing chess with a turban is incredible. Wrapping the turban around the head is equivalent to playing with the head, and it can overcome everything. It is indeed a marvelous skill.

The weather was getting hot, and Chen Zhi, Tang Er, and Chi Mai all put on summer clothes, and their dresses were thin.

Chen Zhi was only eighteen years old, and the young and tender women, although fresh and tender, but as attractive as they were, were not as good as the two mature women Tang Er and Chi Mai. This was especially the case for Maid Chi, when she applauded Xun Zhen just now, the two **** on her chest were squeezed into a fuller and rounder shape. When Xun Zhen saw that there was a bulge under her right sleeve, she moved in her heart and asked, "This is what happened. Is that the ring dragon jade arm hairpin?"

When Xun Zhen was still in Yingyīn, Zhang Zhi and Chi's maid's husband, Fei Chang, held a feast for him. Thanks to Chi's maid's tipping off, Xun Zhen was able to get out in time. Later, as a token of gratitude, Xun Zhen gave it to her. A jade arm hairpin.

The maid replied, "Yes."

"I haven't heard you mention this for a long time. I thought you lost it."

"How could the maid lose what the lieutenant gave?"

"such a pity."

"What a pity?"

Xun Zhen teased and said, "It's a pity that I have never seen you wearing it."

After returning to the county this time, Xun Zhen obtained Chen Zhi's consent, and it was a matter of course to bring Chi's maid into the room. Maid Chi finally got her wish, she changed her grievances, and obeyed everything, and never refused any request from Xun Zhen. It seemed that Xun Zhen was looking at the jade on her arm in front of Chen Zhi and Tang Er. The meaning of the hairpin, although his cheeks were blushing, he did not hesitate to take off his clothes and bare his arms.

Tang Er was startled, pointed to the maid nearby and the maid on the porch, and said, "How can you take off your clothes in the courtyard, not afraid that they will make fun of you behind your back?"

Maid Chi didn't care: "Just make fun of it!"

Seeing her disregarding Xun Zhen's thoughts to satisfy Xun Zhen, Tang Er couldn't help laughing out loud.

Xun Zhen turned her eyes to Chen Zhi and saw that she was pursing her lips with a smile, not showing any signs of jealousy, so she stood up from the seat, smiled and said to the maid Chi, "Tang Er is right,... Ah, it's better Go to your boudoir first, and then I will appreciate it carefully."

Chen Zhi and Tang Er watched Xun Zhen and Chi's maid go to the room, and when they saw them enter the room, they closed the door, and then played against Tang Qi again.

The rain and the twilight gradually darkened, the sky was dim, and when I entered the boudoir of the late maid, it was dark in front of my eyes.

When the maid yù went to light the candle, Xun Zhen stopped her and said with a smile, "I'm about to faint, so that the beautiful jade on the arm hairpin can be brought out."

Because of the rain this evening, the servant Chi was wearing clogs with high teeth. She was already long, and with the teeth of the clogs, she stood opposite Xun Zhen, not much shorter than Xun Zhen. Xun Zhen smiled and said, "Others use a piece of cloth to make a skirt, Ah, you need half a piece of cloth to make a skirt."

The maid Chi asked worriedly, "Don't you like the maid's body length?"

"Short body has the beauty of being short, and long body has the beauty of being long."

After Xun Zhen put the maid in her room, in order not to arouse Chen Zhi's jealousy, she only spent two nights in her room. Although it only lasted for two nights, it was enough to make Chi maid think back, and her heart and soul were drunk. Xun Zhen's words were in her ears, and she immediately remembered the two nights of ups and downs. Turning sideways, like chanting and singing, he stretched his nasal voice, lightly beat Xun Zhen, and said, "Xunjun..."

The coquettish voice like a moan came from her red lips instead of Danzhu~www.wuxiaspot.com~ is very seductive.

Xun Zhen forgot her original intention to come to her boudoir, her heart fluttered, her thoughts rose sharply, her fingertips slipped lightly on her lips, and she motioned for her to squat down.

Maid Chi obediently knelt down, Xun Zhen held her hand and guided her to help her unbutton her robe, took out the words, but she was already holding her head high. Maid Chi used her gloves to grab it, then raised her face, looked at Xun Zhen with a wink, she lightly opened her cherry lips, and swallowed it. The warm and tight package made Xun Zhen feel relieved. He snorted comfortably, held the window lattice, and looked down at the maid Chi.

Under the emotion of Chi maid, her face was like a peach blossom, she looked up at Xun Zhen charmingly, sometimes swallowing it straight, sometimes eating it obliquely.

When she was eating obliquely, Xun Zhen saw that her own words pushed her cheeks up and down, and suddenly smiled and said, "Ah, you just asked in the courtyard 'this is long and oblique'? Just now When you play chess, it is a long slope, and now you are stuttering, it can also be said to be a long slope."

1. Play chess.

Playing chess is a very interesting game. Cao Pi is very good at this play. It was still popular in the Sui and Tang Dynasties. From the Han to the Tang Dynasty, countless literati and scholars were obsessed with it, and wrote poems and poems for it. Lost in the Five Dynasties.
