Chapter 220: Chess Game at the Chess Academy
"Qingyi, are you done?" Xu Linghe came over and held Feng Qingyi's hand.
Feng Qingyi nodded, "Yes, it's done. Are they all painting romance?"
Xu Linghe: "I heard them say that. The farewell at Hengqiao you painted doesn't seem to have romance at all."
"Doesn't 'romance' mean love between men and women?" Feng Qingyi said.
Xu Linghe shook her head, "Really? I'm not sure, isn't it the literal meaning?"
Zhao Yiqing spoke at the right time, "Miss Feng's understanding is not a problem, but nowadays the Shengjing painting world is dominated by landscapes, and in addition to painting, few people explore these deep-level meanings."
"This time, Miss Feng's painting can be regarded as a new approach, and it will definitely stand out among the many romantic landscape paintings, and perhaps there will be a good result."
Feng Qingyi breathed a sigh of relief, "I thought I was off topic, I was scared to death, and I didn't know what Qian Jue was painting."
Xu Linghe: "Qian Jue, I just saw it, he only painted one person, although I don't understand, but his painting looks very sad, your painting looks half happy and half sad!"
"I have seen his paintings before, he is really great, I am ashamed of myself, but you can see the meaning of my painting, it seems that my painting is not bad, okay, let's go!"
Parting is for a better reunion next time, although sad, but more should be expected, this is her idea
Because the theme she understood was love, the reunion of men and women after separation was a very good form of expression, and she felt pretty good about herself.
Feng Qingyi was pulled out of the painting academy by Xu Linghe. Feng Qingyi looked at Zhao Yiqing, "Mr. Zhao, do you mind if I go with you?"
Zhao Yiqing: "How could it be? It's my honor to be with Miss Feng."
Xu Linghe: "Qingyi, where are we going next? Mr. Zhao and I just came from the academy, and then came to see you, and then sat outside to chat."
Feng Qingyi thought about it, "Why don't we go to the chess academy!"
Although she is not good at chess, she learned from her grandfather when she was a child, and it can be regarded as a beginner level.
Xu Linghe had no objection to this, "The chess academy is just in front, let's go!"
The three of them walked into the chess academy and saw five areas, each of which was watched by many people.
Feng Qingyi asked: "How does the competition in this chess academy work?"
Xu Linghe: "Do you see those five tables? These two people are competing. If they win, they stay and if they lose, they leave."
"If you can win three games in a row, you can enter the afternoon competition and decide the winner."
Feng Qingyi roughly understood the rules. It was not easy to win three games. The competition between Go masters was very brain-consuming.
"Can I go and try?" Feng Qingyi was eager to try.
Xu Linghe pointed to a table, "Go here. This person seems to be losing. You go up and try."
As soon as Xu Linghe finished speaking, a middle-aged man at the table threw in the towel.
Feng Qingyi walked to the chair and sat down. The man opposite saw that it was a woman who came this time, and he relaxed.
The people watching nearby also started to talk.
"Why are there still women playing Go!"
"Prince Wang has won two games in a row. This is basically to send him to the afternoon competition."
"..."
Feng Qingyi had some knowledge of ancient Go before she learned it.
The ancients used the seat system, that is, when playing, four pieces were placed at the four star positions on the corners of the chessboard, two black and two white, similar to the diagonal star layout.
Feng Qingyi played with white first. She learned the chess skills from her grandfather, which were not formal. With some modern patterns, she caught the opponent off guard.
After Prince Wang lost the game, he looked at the chessboard and gave Feng Qingyi a complicated look.
Xu Linghe was very excited to see Feng Qingyi win, "Qingyi, you are too good!"
"It was just luck. He underestimated his opponent."
The chess skills of the guy just now were better than hers. If she hadn't underestimated her opponent and used modern patterns that were new to the ancients, she would not have won at all. It can only be said to be luck.
As Feng Qingyi expected, her subsequent opponents were very rigorous and impeccable, and she was completely defeated.
Looking at the chess game on the table, Feng Qingyi decisively surrendered.
Judging from the current situation, no matter how hard she tried, she could not win, so it was better to surrender quickly and not waste everyone's time.
"Qingyi, it's okay, I will definitely win back next time." Xu Linghe comforted.
Feng Qingyi smiled and said, "I know what level my chess skills are. He is very good, and I am not his opponent at all. It's normal to lose."
"But for me, you are already very good." Xu Linghe said.
Although she has also learned piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, she has only learned a little bit. She is not interested in these and feels that it is not interesting to practice martial arts and play with guns.
The three continued to watch everyone play chess in the chess academy, and Feng Qingyi also saw the wisdom of the ancients.
She usually played chess with her grandfather like playing house, but their chess game was really like a battlefield, fighting each other.
After watching the chess for a long time, the three of them walked out of the chess court together and prepared to go to the poetry court in the middle.
"Aren't these Miss Xu and Miss Mu? One is a country girl, and the other only knows how to wield swords and guns. I'm afraid this gathering of literati is not suitable for you!"
Feng Qingyi knew it was Shangguan Yi as soon as she heard the voice. Wasn't he imprisoned in the mansion? Why did he come out to make trouble again so soon?
Xu Linghe was about to retort when Zhao Yiqing spoke up, "Everyone can attend the Late Spring Poetry Festival. I invited these two here. Please be lenient with me, sir."
Shangguan Yi looked at Zhao Yiqing, "Who are you?"
"Zhao Yiqing from Wenyuan Pavilion." Zhao Yiqing bowed.
Shangguan Yi had heard of Zhao Yiqing. After all, his father talked about the people in Wenyuan Pavilion every day and told him to read more books, which annoyed him.
"Master Zhao, you're not afraid of ruining your reputation by being with these two."
"When Yuchuan was here, Miss Mu and him were always flirting with each other. Now that Yuchuan is on the battlefield, you're hooking up with another man. You're really a fickle woman."
Xu Linghe: "Shangguan Yi, don't talk nonsense. Qingyi and Master Zhao are innocent."
Feng Qingyi: "You are what you see. Please stay away from me, Master Shangguan, and don't come up to me to make trouble. Otherwise, don't blame me for being rude."
Although she didn't want to conflict with the people here, he targeted her everywhere and slandered her in various ways, so she didn't need to endure it anymore.
Shangguan Yi: "How do you want to be rude to me?"
Feng Qingyi didn't care about the people around her and kicked him directly.
Seeing Feng Qingyi taking action, Xu Linghe was unwilling to fall behind and clenched her fist and hit Shangguan Yi.
