Chapter Twenty-Eight: Heavy Gifts
In the past, the Ministry of Rites was a clear water yamen, and the Qing Gui was Qing Gui, but there was less oil and water. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 Although there are times when the Ministry of Rites has a high authority, such as the imperial examination. But in such a grand ceremony of the imperial examination, how many people dare to stretch out their hands? Therefore, compared to the household department, it is really a little unaffordable.
But recently, the Ministry of Rites and Honglu Temple, especially the several departments in charge of foreign affairs, have been in full swing all of a sudden, and all the gods and goddesses have pulled relationships and friendships, and behind them are all requests from those vassal states.
Obviously, it is another Japanese who is trying his best to find a bribe from a Chinese official.
Being begged to come to the door by someone has been trying to come to the door, for Yueqing Ru, who has been in the soup for many years, it is really a more comfortable thing.
What's more, he is still Japanese, and it seems that he is also a Japanese with an extraordinary identity.
Yue Qingru's knowledge is obviously much higher than that of the porter, and it is natural to see that this so-called Go master is the most critical person.
He didn't break it, so Abe Tadaaki still played against Yue Qingru in a blunt dialect with a Japanese accent.
Seeing Yue Qingru take it, Chen Weihong on the side was secretly happy in his heart, breathed a sigh of relief slightly, and said with a smile: "According to Xiaosheng, this little gamble is pleasant, and today coincides with a master duel." How about making an appointment? ”
"Oh?" Yue Qingru squinted his eyes and said casually: "How to make a bet?" ”
"Lord Le, if you block it like this, if you say it, wouldn't it be bad? Xiao Sheng thinks like this, it is better to list a sign on each side and write a colorful head. If anyone loses, wouldn't it be a second to open the lottery again? Chen Jianhong's ingenuity made the two of them bow their heads one after another.
Yue Qingru thought about it, smiled and asked people to find pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and the two of them each wrote down the color head they prepared, and then put it on the table to cover it, with the back facing up.
Soon, the chess game began.
Surprisingly, this Japanese chess skill turned out to be good, and judging by the level, it was not a surprise training.
The chess pieces fell, and the arena was silent.
As the situation evolved, both men appeared to be extremely focused and attentive. Compared with Yue Qingru, Abe Zhongqiu was even more surprised. He heard that Yue Qingru liked chess, and he just wanted to take the opportunity to lose to the other party. But as soon as he fell, he felt Yue Qingru's chess strength, and suddenly became sad.
The opponent's chess skills are not low, and they may even surpass Abe Tadaaki, which makes it difficult for Abe Tadaaki.
The best thing about handicap is not to let the opponent win, but to make the opponent feel that he has worked hard and finally won because he is stronger. This kind of win can make the other party hearty, and this kind of win can not make the other party feel tired and think that he has come to deliver food and waste his time.
However, if the gap between the two people's chess strength is too big, such as Abe Tadaaki, who is very good at it, and he was killed in a mess, then it will be boring. At a glance, people can see that you are here to deliver food, that is, to find a reason to give gifts. In this case, it will naturally make the other party's interest greatly reduced, and it will be boring.
The best, of course, is the kind that Fang just said, so that the other party can't see that he is conceding, but really feels that he is more powerful in chess. It's just that this situation requires the handicap to be far more powerful than the opponent, so that it can send out a refreshing sycophant without leaving a trace.
The arena became quieter and quieter, and everyone seemed to be extra serious.
The more they got to the back, the longer the two of them fell, and they were trying their best to deal with it. As for Abe Tadaaki, there was even more faint sweat on his forehead.
On the chessboard, although Abe Tadaaki kept falling, treating him as a swimming dragon and chasing him again and again, Abe Tadaaki not only did not relax, but his face became more solemn.
After a long silence, Abe Zhongqiu had no choice but to leave a son tentatively, but unexpectedly, Yue Qingru was like a divine helper, and as soon as he saw Abe Zhongqiu's fall, he immediately fell to follow.
Smack......
Smack......
Smack......
After the rapid sound of the falling child, the situation suddenly changed. After reading it, Chen Yanhong, who had been watching for a long time, couldn't help but exclaim: "Fang Shuo steals peaches!" ”
On the birthday of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, a blackbird fell from the sky in front of the palace, and Emperor Wu did not know its name and asked the ministers. Dongfang Shuo replied: "This is the mount of the Queen Mother of the West, 'Qingluan', and the Queen Mother is about to come to celebrate the emperor's birthday." Sure enough, in an instant, the Queen Mother of the West came with seven immortal peaches. Dedicated to Emperor Wu. Emperor Wu wanted to stay in the core after eating. The Queen Mother of the West said: "This peach has been fruitful for 3,000 years, and the Central Plains is thin, and it is not planted. He also pointed to Dongfang Shuo and said: "He has stolen my immortal peach three times." According to this, there was a saying that Fang Shuo stole peaches.
Yue Qingru, who is holding Baizi, is a small tip all the way, and this hand is: Fang Shuo steals peaches.
Chen Jianhong recalled Fang Cai's chess game, and his eyes lit up.
Fang Cai's chess game IQ, black chess does not dare to get in position, white chess has a chance to connect back. Only after the second pawn is blocked, and after White's third pawn is established, the black disc can only follow the fourth move. The gas has been quietly tightened. When White's fifth discs squeezed, the two breakpoints could no longer be taken into account, and the black tendons were killed, and the left four discs died without a problem.
Yue Qingru was very clever all the way, not only escaping the pursuit of Fang Cai Abe Zhongqiu, but also skillfully completing the counter-killing.
Seeing this, Abe Zhongqiu sighed, got up and saluted: "I have done my best, and I am really inferior to Your Excellency." In this game, I lost. ”
Yue Qingru laughed heartily, stroked his long beard and said, "Where is it, I have conceded." ”
After saying this, Abe Tadaaki's heart was strangely slightly relaxed. Although, Abe Zhongqiu's chess strength is not far beyond Yue Qingru's most appropriate fart, but he just tried his best to let the opponent play extraordinary chess, which obviously mobilized the other party's interest and made Yue Qingru feel good.
Seeing that Yue Qingru was interested, he hurriedly said: "Why don't you ask Lord Le to open the lottery this time?" To be honest, Xiaosheng is also curious about what kind of surprise the lottery will be this time. ”
"Just don't be scared." Yue Qingru smiled and stretched out to the blank paper in front of Abe Zhongqiu. Just by touching it, Abe Tadaaki felt different.
It turned out that this blank paper had been dropped by someone at some point, and there was a delicately framed gift list inside.
Yue Qingru has seen a lot of such gift lists, but he has not touched many of them.
At this moment, I groped for the best materials on it, opened the gift list, and the names of each gift came into my eyes, and I saw that Yue Qingru sighed vigorously in his heart.
Not long after, Le Yan also walked briskly with the big butler and whispered in Yue Qingru's ear.
It turned out that a group of people carried large boxes into the mansion. Even with Le Yan's experience in his life, he has never seen such a heavy gift.
