Tao Rende was even more disgusted when he heard the words: "You have to join in this kind of excitement. Could it be that you still want to go on stage and be more beautiful than others."
"Having nothing to do, it's better to join in the fun than to be bored in the mansion." Liu Dajiong worked tirelessly, "I heard that it was very lively, and some people came here from other places, just to take a look."
Tao Rende was stunned when he heard the words. As a dedicated Taifu, he never knew that the people of Dachu were so idle.
So when Chu Yuan was busy with his affairs and was thinking of going to Tai Fu to discuss political affairs, he was told by Si Xi that Tai Fu and Liu had left the palace half an hour ago, and it was said that they went to Taici Road to see people more beautiful.
Chu Yuan: "..."
Sixi asked, "Are you going to send someone to invite the two adults back?"
Chu Yuan waved his hand: "Forget it, I've been in this imperial study, and I'm a little bored, so let's stop there for today."
Father Sixi hurriedly stepped forward to help him up, and said, "Can you ask the imperial doctor to come and take a look?"
"What should the imperial doctor do?" Chu Yuan shook his head, "It's too hot in the room, just go for a walk in the imperial garden."
In the scorching summer, when the flowers are red and the willows are green, there is a breeze in the small pavilion in the heart of the lake. It is reasonable to say that it should be refreshing. It's just that Chu Yuan sat for a while, but he didn't seem to be... not too cool.
Sixi said understandingly: "Can the emperor want to go out of the palace for a walk?"
Chu Yuan looked at him with a faint smile.
Father-in-law Sixi smiled brightly: "It's better to go and see Master Taifu and the others." Not far from Taici Road is the Yuelai Inn, and maybe he will meet the King of Southwest.
Chu Yuan tapped his belly with a fan: "Wai Jia, leave the palace!"
"Yes!" Father Sixi's voice was loud, it's good to go out, it's fun and cool to go out.
There were people coming and going on Taici's road, and it was really lively. The ring is set up so that two people can be tall, and the red, green, and green on the top are eye-catching, but it is not for the sake of comparing the beauty as rumored, but for the competition of chess.
Master Liu felt that he had been deceived.
However, Master Tao is very happy. He has always been a chess idiot. He has studied Go for decades, and has also broken many dead games handed down by his predecessors through the ages.
Liu Dajiong put on his sleeves and said angrily, "What does this have to do with Pan An?"
Yuan Qing is a chess master of this dynasty, with a pockmarked face, ugly and flowery.
But Master Tao had already squeezed into the crowd and began to study the chess game carefully.
Sai Panan wore a half mask to cover his eyes, and looked like he was only in his twenties. Seeing that Tao Rende had been studying the chess game, he smiled and said, "This old gentleman wants to give it a try? A game of silver or two. "
Liu Dajiong scoffed, "It's so expensive."
"But if the old man wins, he can get a hundred taels of gold. This is a unique good business." Saipanan pointed back, and sure enough he saw dozens of gold ingots dazzlingly placed on the plate, the sun shone, It's hard not to get noticed.
Liu Dajiong pounded him with his elbow and said, "Old Tao, go try it?"
Tao Rende said: "This game is a dead end."
"The old gentleman has not tried it yet, so how can he assert that it is a dead end." Saipanan laughed, "If you dare not try, then you say that you don't dare. Why do you have so many excuses."
Liu Dajiong was immediately worried, knowing that Mrs. Tao was notoriously careful, and the leader of the Imperial Forest Army of Taici Road was his nephew, so what would happen if the stall was overturned.
"Young people are too arrogant, it's not a good thing." Tao Rende did not care about him, "otherwise, it will inevitably suffer in the future."
Sai Panan shook his head: "In this world, no one can make me suffer."
Some of the onlookers recognized that it was Master Taifu of the court, so he reminded the young man in a low voice and told him to pay attention to what he said. Tao Rende waved his hand to stop it and walked out of the crowd with Liu Dajiong.
"Old Tao, are you okay?" Liu Dajiong probed.
"The old man is naturally fine, but he has something." Tao Rende said.
"It's nothing more than a reckless descendant who hasn't seen the world, you really care about him?" Liu Dajiong was surprised, let alone avenging private revenge.
"What is the origin of that game of chess just now, Master Liu?" Tao Rende asked.
Liu Dajiong said, "I don't know."
Tao Rende nodded: "I guess you don't know."
Liu Dajiong: "…"
Then why ask
"That endgame is called the Star Burning Game." Tao Rende said, "There will be people who want to solve all the endgames in this world, but only this Star Burning Game is the only one that everyone can't avoid."
Liu Dajiong was puzzled: "Why?"
Tao Rende said: "Just because of this Star Burning Bureau, people will be enchanted."
Liu Dajiong burst out laughing.
Tao Rende: "..."
"Blow it, you can, a game of chess can still make people crazy." Liu Dajiong obviously didn't believe it.
Tao Rende said angrily, "You are vulgar and ignorant, I won't talk to you."
"Look at you, but you think I don't have any knowledge." Liu Dajiong was used to bickering with him on weekdays, but he wasn't angry. He looked around and asked, "Would you like to eat noodles?"
"What kind of noodles to eat." Tao Rende said, "I'm going to Dali Temple."
"It's fine, what are you going to do at Dali Temple?" Liu Dajiong shook his head, "It's dark and suffocating there, go and look back for a while."
But Master Tao was already on the sedan chair.
Are you really in such a hurry... Liu Dajiong was puzzled, and he turned his head to look at the arena, and saw that Sai Panan's eyes were slightly closed, as if he was taking a nap.
Chu Yuan walked out of the palace in a light dress, and sat in a sedan chair all the way to Taici Road. Father Sixi looked in front of him and said, "Ah, why are there so many people."
Chu Yuan didn't speak inside.
"Looking at the two adults are not here." Father Si Xi instructed the bearer, "Let's walk forward, there are many people here, don't be surprised by the holy driver."
The bearer takes the lead. Chu Yuan looked out the window with a smile in his eyes.
The soft sedan chair crossed Taici Road, and in front of it was the Yuelai Inn. By coincidence, Duan Baiyue was walking this way.
"What a coincidence." Father Sixi was surprised and full of emotion.
Chu Yuan opened the car curtain.
Duan Baiyue looked at him and smiled.
"The emperor came out to look for Master Taifu." Father Sixi explained, "Just happened to pass by here."
"Just in time, I bought the sweet-scented osmanthus braised goose." Duan Baiyue held the oil paper bag in his hand, "Can we eat it together?"
Of course it is. Father Sixi smiled and said, "Osmanthus braised goose is good, the emperor likes to eat sweet-scented osmanthus braised goose."
Chu Yuan: "..."
Duan Baiyue stepped forward and stretched out his hand.
Chu Yuan patted him away and jumped down by himself.
Father-in-law Sixi watched the two go upstairs together, so he took the bearer to the opposite restaurant to drink tea, and sent someone to buy a few pork trotters with red oil and gnawed on them. , I only have cabbage and tofu to satisfy my hunger every day, and my stomach is really hungry.
In the house, there is the best Pu'er brought from the southwest. Duan Baiyue sent the braised goose to the house, along with some other side dishes, and a pot of wine.
Duan Nian was guarding the door with his sword in his arms, and the prince finally brought people back to the inn.
"Try it?" Duan Baiyue put a piece of meat in his bowl. "It is said that it tastes good and light. I originally wanted to try it and if I can make a living, I will send a few to the palace."
Chu Yuan took a bite, there was a touch of sweetness, and there were traces of sweet-scented osmanthus.
Duan Baiyue asked, "Do you like it?"
Chu Yuan nodded: "The cook is not bad."
"Then I will tie him to the palace?" Duan Baiyue suggested.
"Then I will let Xiang Lie handle you." Chu Yuan put down his chopsticks, "How about the person who made a deal with Tianshajiao?"
"No clue." Duan Baiyue said, "That person only said that when Lan Ji arrives in Wangcheng, someone will go to her. It's just that everyone in the rivers and lakes is now saying that the Tiansha Religion is dead, and I'm afraid that it will never happen again. It's not easy to get him to take the initiative."
Chu Yuan frowned: "The king's city is too big, and strangers come and go every day. If the other party doesn't take the initiative to show up, I'm afraid the government will have nowhere to start."
Duan Baiyue poured him a glass of wine.
Chu Yuan said, "Why don't I write a letter to Wen Aiqing?"
"Why do you want to write to Lord Wen?" Duan Baiyue was immediately dissatisfied when she heard this.
Jiangnan scholar, good-looking, gentle and fair, was deeply loved by the emperor, and often stayed in the palace.
"He is the number one talent in my great Chu. Not only is he knowledgeable and quick in thinking, but his strategy is also outstanding. Maybe he has heard of Qianhuihuan." Chu Yuan said.
Duan Baiyue said in her heart that if you have talent, you can say that you are talented, and praise for so long in one breath.
"What are you thinking?" Chu Yuan waved his hand in front of him.
"Huh?" Duan Baiyue returned to her senses: "Master Wen is far away in the middle of Shu. I'm afraid that this letter will come and go, and it will take several months to say it." dead old.
"That's better than doing nothing." Chu Yuan took another bite of the vegetable and wondered, "Why is it all meat?"
"Eat more meat to grow meat." Duan Baiyue clipped him another goose leg, "The emperor needs to be fat, rich, and shocking Kyushu."
Chu Yuan was amused by him.
"Are you really so busy these days?" Duan Baiyue looked at him closer, "The circles of his eyes are a little dark."
Chu Yuan ducked back unconsciously: "Well."
"I know that Mr. Tao won't let you go easily." Duan Baiyue sat upright and knocked on the table, "But since we've all come out today, why don't we go out for a walk after dinner? In Wangcheng, I think there will be some Lots of good places to go.”
Chu Yuan nodded: "Alright."
Duan Baiyue smiled even more, and lowered her head to help him cool down a bowl of soup.
Duan Nian sighed outside, why did he want to go out again? Shouldn't he use his internal strength to force out a mouthful of blood, and then he would need to double repair and heal his injuries if he was unconscious.
After all, that's what it says in the book.
Perhaps it was because the braised goose was really delicious, and Chu Yuan had a good appetite, and even felt a little… supportive.
Duan Baiyue asked him to drink a pot of Pu'er for digestion, and then went out together.
Although there are no festivals recently, there is always a lively scene in the royal city. Even at night, there are many views to see. The red lanterns hanging high by the river are reflected in the sparkling blue waves like an illusion.
Duan Baiyue bought a windmill at the stall and handed it to him.
Chu Yuan turned his hand away.
Duan Baiyue smiled: "If you don't take this, I will buy another candy man for you."
"Something that only children like." Chu Yuan sat on a big rock, "Tired."
"You're tired." Duan Baiyue squatted in front of him, "Occasionally going out and wandering around is better than staying in the palace all the time. If I have time in the future, I will take you back to the southwest to live for a while, that's really leisurely and happy. ."
Chu Yuan just pretended not to hear, and turned to look at the river.
Why not go to the southwest, but go back to the southwest.
There was a noise from the other end, and Duan Baiyue stood up and looked at it: "It seems that something happened in the arena."
"What arena?" Chu Yuan asked, and after asking, he remembered, and said, "The one who is more beautiful?"
"It's more beautiful than that, although the person who fights is called Sai Pan'an, he is a chess player." Duan Baiyue said, "I played a dead chess game and brought a hundred taels of gold. Hand in hand, I have probably made a lot of money in the past few days."
"The chess game?" Chu Yuan understood, "No wonder Master Taifu wants to come and see."
"It is estimated that this battle should not be a good thing." Duan Baiyue asked, "Do you want to go and see?"
