"On the chessboard of Go, there are nineteen parallel lines horizontally and vertically, after crossing each other, three hundred and sixty-one intersection points are formed, there are nine points on the chessboard, the point in the middle is called Tianyuan, the four points on the southeast, northwest and northwest edges are called star angles, the other two points are called stars, the four points around Tianyuan are called the middle abdomen, the Go chess pieces are one hundred and eighty-one black, and the white pieces are one hundred and eighty, the black pieces go first, each next piece, become a hand, and the two sides alternately fall until the chessboard can not continue to fall, and in the end, whoever encloses the area is large, who is the winner, and vice versa. ”

"Go has a lot of formulas, the most basic is the golden horn and silver edge grass belly, can stand the song is the song, to the left and right, do not be greedy, the ultimate goal is to send the Buddha back to the temple to the end, I believe that there are many masters in your house, if the housekeeper has a heart, he will be able to become a master in this."

A figure flashed by the corner of the house not far away.

The corners of Zheng Xunrui's mouth showed a smile, such an old-fashioned way of temptation, if he didn't understand it, he would be a fool, it seems that this Wen girl really has a bit of a temper, and she actually took out this hand to test it.

"Childe, the more you listen to it, the more headaches you get, this Go is not something that can be learned by a small one, it's almost time to see the small one, take Childe to the front yard to see it."

"Qing Yang's interpretation of Go is clear and clear, very good, butler, if you learn it like this, you will be able to get started soon."

Walking to the middle courtyard, Zheng Xunrui saw Yao Ximeng pacing with a smile on his face.

The middle courtyard and the backyard are very quiet, separated by a row of houses, presumably what Zheng Xunrui said in the backyard, Yao Ximeng in the middle courtyard heard it.

"Don't dare, Qing Yang just said to the housekeeper, there must be many Go masters in your mansion, as long as the housekeeper observes and learns more, he will definitely be able to become a Go master one day."

"Oh, didn't you say it, many people have been immersed in it all their lives, and it is difficult to make a big breakthrough, how can this be said that the housekeeper can become a master in this."

Zheng Xunrui sweated on his back, and met a roundabout man again, and he couldn't hear the flattering words, if he analyzed every sentence carefully, in the end, everyone was dumb and didn't speak.

"The younger generation is just speculating, not sure, playing chess requires talent, but also needs to be calm, if you can be distracted, to reach the realm of the great together, the skill will naturally improve quickly, if the housekeeper is attentive to learn chess, it is not difficult to do this step."

"Oh, why did Qing Yang say that the butler could reach such a state."

"The younger generation took a turn in your mansion, and felt that it was quiet and peaceful, which means that your mansion is a scholarly and noble place, with such an atmosphere, anyone can calm down, learn anything, and can enter the state of selflessness, if the mansion is noisy and noisy, full of copper smell, then people's hearts are naturally impetuous, and they can't calm down to do anything."

Yao Ximeng was stunned for a moment, nodded and smiled, but there were some other flavors in the smile.

"Qingyang is worthy of being a little Sanyuan, the township tries to solve Yuanlang, and his words are not leaky, if he enters the court, this kind of comprehension ability will definitely be able to shine."

Zheng Xunrui was also stunned for a moment, he didn't expect Yao Ximeng to speak like this, no wonder Yao Ximeng in history was evaluated as almost pedantic and upright, frustrated by officialdom, excluded, and depressed.

What is going on today, I am coming to the house of my future father-in-law, and it is the first time, I must say some good things, this is basic etiquette, and it has nothing to do with flattery.

Could it be that the scholars of the Ming Dynasty, the so-called integrity and frankness, the so-called not afraid of the powerful, are like this, if it is really like this, it is a great fallacy, that is, they do not understand the world, that is to sell fame and reputation, that is the hypocrisy revealed in the bones, the emperor in the court, if he encourages such integrity, there is really something wrong with his brain.

"Lord Yao's meaning, Qing Yang understands, but I don't know what this person's feelings are, and I ask my lord to interpret it for Qing Yang, otherwise Qing Yang won't know how to get along with his elders in the future."

Zheng Xunrui instantly changed his name and no longer called himself a junior, which was already obvious.

Yao Ximeng didn't expect that after pondering Zheng Xunrui's words, his old face was slightly red, but he still spoke.

"I heard that Qingyang cut off his robes with Tianru, Zichang and other scholars, and there was actually a dispute in the Qinhuai River, but there is such a thing."

"It is true."

"This, how can this be, think about that day, not afraid of the powerful, fought against the eunuch party several times, and founded the Restoration Society, drumming and shouting for the family and the country, such qualities are very rare, and Zichang, who cares about the government and politics, founded the Ying Society, and is also a leader among scholars, how can Qingyang break with it."

"Lord Yao wants to know the reason, it's very simple, Qing Yang and Zhang Pu, Yang Yi and others have said a word, the Tao is different and does not conspire with each other, some people are humble gentlemen on the surface, but secretly dirty, but unfortunately the dirtiness behind this was accidentally discovered by Qing Yang, Qing Yang has his own principles, and he is unwilling to be in the company of inferior people, so he naturally cuts off his robe and breaks his righteousness."

Yao Ximeng's eyes widened and he looked at Zheng Xunrui.

"W-What's going on?"

"Qing Yang doesn't want to say more, if Lord Yao asks Qing Yang as a court official, it is not here to explain, since he is in the official mansion, if he asks as an elder, today is not the right time, and he is unwilling to talk about others behind his back, as for how some people say Qing Yang, Qing Yang doesn't care, Lu Yao knows that the horsepower will see the hearts of the people for a long time, and there will always be a day when the truth will come out, and the truth of the matter will be revealed."

The sound of coughing came.

"What Qing Yang said is right, the old man is in favor, Meng Chang, Qing Yang came to the mansion today, there is an important matter, you and I just came to take a look, okay, the banquet has been prepared, let's go to the banquet together."

Zheng Xunrui finally held back his temper, according to his thoughts, what kind of ceremony did he carry out, just turn around and leave, are the people of the Wen family pedantic to such a Cheng dù, really think that they say everything, and shout out loudly when they see something bad, and even do it against the powerful and even the emperor, that is integrity, that can only be regarded as a stupid big man, to put it mildly, it is similar to neurosis.

Officialdom has the principle of officialdom, an emperor like Tang Taizong is a rare animal after all, and Tang Taizong has also had some changes in his later years, any person has self-esteem, is dignified, can be killed but not humiliated, even more so in officialdom, to offend the dignity of others, and think that it is integrity, this can only be regarded as nonsense, such a thought, not only can not do things well, but will make a mess of the situation.

If the emperor reuses such a person, he hopes that the country will collapse faster.

At this time, Zheng Xunrui began to doubt the history of the Ming Dynasty, after all, the people who wrote the history of the Ming Dynasty were people with similar personalities to Yao Ximeng, and it could not be said that they were not rich in knowledge, but they all looked at people with colored glasses, and wrote history with subjective feelings, which was a big taboo, which would mislead people in later generations.

Zhang Juzheng and Qi Jiguang are the best proof, one of them is a capable minister who governs the country, and the other is a powerful general in the army, but unfortunately the reputation of both of them is not very good, because they are not very good in some subsections, which makes some people who like to discuss Qing seize the handle and attack vigorously, but they don't know that these high-sounding people are the most useless people.

Such an atmosphere must be corrected, not not not to say, but to say less and do more, people who do things will always make mistakes, only people who do nothing will not make mistakes, if there are too many people in the court, and a trend has been formed, then basically nothing can be done.

The atmosphere of the meal is still good, Zheng Fugui and Wen Qiankang and others don't know what happened in the middle courtyard at all, and the two are still the protagonists in the end, Wen Zhenheng and Yao Ximeng can't make a decision directly, that doesn't conform to etiquette, building yì and decision are two concepts.

After eating, Wen Qiankang proposed to let Zheng Fugui and others stay in the mansion for one night, but Zheng Fugui politely declined, after all, there were many people who came this time, and it was much more convenient to stay in the inn.

After leaving the Wen Mansion, Zheng Fugui found that Zheng Xunrui's love was not very good.

"Qingyang, what's wrong, I see if you're a little unhappy."

"Father, the child had some arguments with Master Yao in the middle courtyard."

Zheng Fugui's face changed instantly.

"Qing Yang, at this time, how can you have a dispute with Lord Yao, he is your elder after all."

Zheng Xunrui shook his head lightly, his eyes were very determined.

"Fathers have always taught their children that they need to be sincere, but they also need respect, and children have always done this, and if someone is self-righteous and disregards the dignity of others, the child will find it unbearable no matter what."

Hearing Zheng Xunrui say this, Zheng Fugui quickly understood what he meant, in fact, when he was eating just now, he already felt some discomfort from the attitudes of Wen Zhenheng and Yao Ximeng.

"Qingyang, I know what you mean, this so-called scholar family, there are many rules, the hierarchy is also strict, there may not even be much family affection between each other, far less than small households, ordinary people talk and do things between each other, are very casual, and the relationship between each other is also very harmonious, your attitude towards Zheng Jinhong, as well as some of the words said, make me very pleased, and I also know that you value family affection very much, today's adoption ceremony has ended, we will leave Suzhou early tomorrow morning and go home, what is the situation in Wenfu, don't care so much, Miss Wen will marry into the Zheng family in the future, and she will act according to the rules of the Zheng family. ”

Zheng Xunrui looked at Zheng Fugui and was very surprised, he didn't expect that his father would be able to make such a profound analysis, it seems that ordinary people don't know anything, they just don't want to say it.

On the way to the inn, Zheng Xunrui thought of Yang Tingshu's reminder and couldn't help but sigh secretly.
