Chapter 165: Huang Sanjia After the Fact
Huang Longshi after the fact.
The entire Liyang Dynasty liked to use this expression to ridicule someone’s horse hindsight.
Of course, horse after the fact again came from Huang Longshi’s original Xiangqi, which outlawed Shuanglu, alias holding a long lance and traveling long, and became a famous scholar’s behavior second only to hand talk.
A small teahouse in Beimang.
The parrot is still like to lose hairs and people will shout Gong Gong, surnamed Huang’s teahouse shopkeeper is still like that is not progressive, raised a big cat girl and no good face to customers, plus three days fishing two days sunshine net, tavern business is cold and indifferent with the graveyard of a virtue, which always failed to earn money to go to the green house to play the wind flow of the Wen Hua moment and crotch is very melancholy ah.
Today, outside the teahouse hangs the wooden sign of the free customers rest, Wen Hua carrying a birdcage into the tavern, he never treats his own organs, do a bowl of fragrant scallion noodles buried in the head to eat, the shopkeeper’s old Huang do not know where to touch the three wooden box, full of chess, two boxes of black and white, a box of colorful glazed seeds, empty the desktop, where the pendulum is placed, and continue to drop the son and collect the son, see Wen Hua a burst of fire, and the He is a good player, but he has the ability to learn from his buddy Xu Fengyen, who set up a stall to gamble on chess to earn copper money! What kind of hero is it to pretend to be a chess saint or chess king or chess immortal behind closed doors? Finished eating scallion noodles, is thinking about whether to sneak to the stove room and then a bowl of treats, just think about the income is not enough to make ends meet, really do not have the cheek to mooch, Wen Hua a little bit of not waste to eat all licked clean the large white porcelain bowl, sighing at the empty bowl. Boredom, had to take the dishes to go to the old man to sit over there, that one is not in the heart of the guests huh to hand knife to kill the Jia girl carrying a pole sunflower, legs resting on the bench in a daze, Wen Hua did not have the guts to sit on a bench with her, let the old man moved a little, resting his buttocks in the side of the Huang Longshi, Wen Hua saw the desktop black and white confrontation, mixed with a number of colorful glazed chess pieces, Wen Hua wants to go! Wen Hua wanted to touch one to see if it is worth money, if it is worth money, steal a few pawned is also should be, how long have not paid the salary? Not to mention the red packets for Chinese New Year festivals! Unfortunately, Huang Longshi slapped his claws off, Wen Hua casually put the chopsticks on the corner of the table, laughing: “Old Huang, what are you doing, tell me the name.”
Huang Longshi carried a box of glazed seeds in one hand, one hand pinched the fingers and moved slightly, staring and holding his breath, ignoring the croaking of Wen Hua’s shopkeeper.
Wen Hua felt uninterested, only to turn his head to look at the young girl who likes to laugh, “Jia Jia Jia married price increase false frame Jia, I’m picking the words with you ah, that head of the big cat is a gluttonous eater, we can not afford to raise!”
The clean-cut young girl laughed, did not even look at Wen Hua. To the tavern as a cow as a horse is not good Wen Hua slammed the table, angrily: “Do not rely on the old yellow head to support you, you with me huh huh, I do not have the ability of the gods of the fossilized stone point of gold, the three of us three mouths are not as much as that big cat a mouth to eat, the store business is so bad, have not seen you on the heart, you say that yesterday, did not say that the tea is not good it, you want to take a plate to cut his head. And the day before yesterday, the customer said that the tea was not strong enough, you want to screw his head again, do you have any law? I’m still a pig in a poke in the mirror and I’m not a human being anymore.”
The young girl faced Wen Hua and let out a sigh.
Wen Hua slapped his head, and was so angry that he suffered internal injuries.
Huang shopkeeper gently smoothed those by the porcelain bowl shocked position of the chess pieces, frowned: “Who can not starve on the line, even if you open the teahouse into the first big in North Mang, on the outstanding?”
Wen Hua asked rhetorically, “This is still not considered to be outstanding?”
The old Confucian merchant, who had his own gentle and elegant demeanor, glanced at him, “Then why don’t you just stop practicing the sword, and I’ll guarantee that you’ll become one of the first-class gentry and wealthy merchants in North Mang, how about it?”
Wen Hua waved his hand, “Go go go, if you don’t let me practice my sword, you might as well kill me.”
Boss Huang laughed and asked, “Laozi?”
Wen Hua hurriedly laughed and said, “Little one little one. Your old man has been playing chess for so long, are your hands sore and your shoulders tired? Let me rub and knock for you?”
The more the pieces fell, a table densely packed with black and white chess pieces and relatively sparse glazed pieces, the porcelain bowl became an eyesore, the old man waved his hand and said, “Take away.”
Wen Hua got le a sentence, pick up the bowl on the trot to the stove room, they eat alone to get a bowl of onion noodles, is not too polite, but alone as much joy as the joy of the crowd, under a bowl of three noodles, to the strange father and daughter also piggyback on the still can be well. Ignoring Wen Hua that kid, old man Huang looked at the increasingly clear situation of the chess game, the hand will be a relatively large glazed roe knocked hard into a hinterland, and then whether to bring up and pull out a glazed chess piece, seems to be hesitant. The old man put down the chess box, muttered to himself: “Daughter ah, this time I missed this good old dad, can’t help, the man in the capital who was victimized by me to cut off his tongue, sent a letter over to me to settle old scores, old dad on the one hand can’t bear it, on the one hand, but also look forward to the direction of the next, and also agreed to him for a time. Chess must be alive, can do eyes, chess is only interesting. Otherwise, you see, this is called the Iron Gate Pass, is a good feng shui place, die there is better than dying in the ghostly, tens of thousands of dead people to apportion the number of qi on the sand field. This big glazed son who went to West Shu, if he eats the two batches of Zhao Kai and Xu Fenian in one bite and stays in Beiliang, it will be much more interesting than if he goes to be some county king. Don’t stare at me, it’s that kid himself who wants to run headlong into this chess game, I didn’t trip him up much this time. Don’t worry, that kid has made a lot of money this time, hereditary king of Beilang, stable.”
“Xu Fengnian died, Chen Zhi Bao sat on the position of the king of Northern Liang, will have to live in the shadow of Xu Snapdragon all his life, the Zhao family owes the Xu family of the old accounts, to Chen Zhi Bao’s temperament, will certainly want to openly and secretly to ask for a little bit of it back, the man of the capital, do not want to see this scene. But that guy underestimated the next king of Beilang, surnamed Xu kid, where than Chen Zhi Bao open-minded generosity? This is not to blame that guy, after all, Chen Zhi Bao surface is still stronger than Xu Fengyuan too much, too much. But historically, when national players play against each other, having a shallow eye socket is going to be a big loss.”
The young girl shook the golden sunflower and laughed.
The old man this life vertical and horizontal art iterative organs infinite, let a person in a fog, and even a decade or two after the realization, but the old man himself rarely talk to people, but since the side is the daughter of the family, is not hiding, narrated, “this time it, the hostile parties who’s ass is not clean, in order to take care of the overall situation, the losing party will have to pinch the nose to bear. The bottom line of this interception is very clear, the Zhao family son of God does not personally, Xu Snapdragon is the same, as for their respective sons are alive or dead, depending on the fate of the spell planning, than ruthless. However, the capital that the nine to five has a both sides know the advantage, he has more than one son, die a which even if some heartache, but also not so much as to hurt the bones, but the first to fall in the board of the Zhao family Prince, apparently did not expect the Northern Liang response to such determination, Xu Fengyin personally go to the risk of interception, many deep-rooted dark son are one after another all up. Otherwise, according to common sense, as long as the Jiange does not have that He Yan three thousand elite cavalry, as long as the surname Nangong’s remnants did not come out of the cabinet, as long as Cao Changqing did not go to return the favor according to the appointment, the loser is still Xu Fengyen and Zhao Kai, Chen Zhi Bao is a short period of time not to lose not to win, collapsed the Northern Liang, do the king of Shu, but in the future, when Xu Primrose is dead, the Northern Liang is half of the possibility of being in his pocket. Chen Zhi Bao compared with Xu Snapdragon, there are advantages and disadvantages, the advantage lies in the young, literature and martial arts are all well-deservedly flowing and unparalleled, some like me ……”
“Heh.”
“line line line, father also do not brag about this with you. Continue to nag with you nagging serious things, Chen Zhi Bao’s advantage also lies in many years of momentum, cold the heart of the world’s scholars is only his father Xu Snapdragon, rather than the Confucian will be the ultimate in this soldier saint. Disadvantage Well, it is also very obvious, want to do the king of Beiliang, after all, is the name is not right, went to seal the king of Western Sichuan, he saved in the Beiliang army in the military morale, will be followed by Xu primrose’s death, the same again and again and three and exhaustion, so if he sincerely want to be emperor, at most can only wait ten years, and then more, said that is the luck or, the people’s heart, are not gathered up. People’s hearts are cold and thin, anyone is the same, how can the prestige extend for two or three generations? Only Xu Snap is such an anomaly in the Liyang army. Chen Zhi Bao, there is still some fire left.”
“I’ve long said that the Qin Tian Jiu that group of poor head of the old scholar, are only recognize the rigid board elephant number does not understand the heavenly chance like water half-cocked, was I cheated so many years or do not have a memory. Zhao Kai this kid is also interesting, really think they are invincible in the world of luck? That Western female masters are not smart enough to go, Zhao Kai’s luck, but rely on the dragon attached to more than 30 years of Han Diao Temple, as well as Yang Taiyang that old donkey dead pile up, plus her own Taoist, with her next to Zhao Kai’s invisible qi was added to a layer, is not looking at a piece of expected to ascend to the throne of the meat and potatoes of the emperor? How many people from the three religions who have been involved in the game have ended up well? Dragon tree monk, Yang Tai Sui, not all dead. Longhu Mountain those Tianshi, the old generation also have not a good end. In the end, are all think they are beyond the world, but in fact half of the poor people can not be free, can not get away.”
“Old dad I ah, between spring and fall fooled so many previous auspicious and vision, this group of smart people still did not see through ah. Visible cleverness and intelligence, the difference between one word is a world of difference.”
“North Mang Taiping Ling old favorably disobedient, but also with me against the game a game, do not know clearly two parts of the world’s chess situation or my hand to create? The world, it should always be honestly handed over to the young people. Squatting in a latrine and not taking a shit, old shit is raw, how can I water the fields?”
Hearing this, the corner of the young girl’s mouth curled up in a smile.
Wen Hua, who was bringing over three bowls of scallion noodles, angrily said, “Old man Huang, can we not talk about this during dinner?!”
Seeing that the shopkeeper didn’t move, Wen Hua glared, “Why don’t you vacate the tabletop?”
The old man laughed softly and waved away the table full of chess pieces with one sleeve, Wen Hua put down three pairs of dishes and chopsticks, still chattering, “Playing chess and playing chess just know how to play chess, it’s great to know how to play chess. When I practiced the sword to become a sword immortal, no matter who you are, dare to jump in front of me, all a sword to serve!”
The old man picked up his chopsticks and asked with a smile, “Oh? Then I taught you to practice the sword and made you suffer so much, then when the time comes, the first thing you do is chop me a chop?”
Wen Hua laughed, “How dare I. How dare I. I, Wen Hua, am not the kind of person who is ungrateful, I’m a person, I’m handsome, my temper is okay, and I have an ancient heart, all these advantages are not going to talk about, the key is righteousness!”
The old man laughed and shook his head, also somewhat helpless, clamped a chopstick of fragrant scallion noodles, lowered his head and ate before saying, “You go to Leiyang Capital City.”
Wen Hua was stunned and asked in a low voice, “This is going directly to the capital to break into fame? No need to warm up your hands in a small place first?”
The old man wrapped a chopstick noodles, not to stretch his neck for the daughter blew the noodles hot air, for fear that she scalded, Oh girl bright smile, picked a small petal sunflower, placed in the old man’s bowl edge.
Look at the festive.
The old man in a good mood, said to Wen Hua: “You do not want to be a hit? Also, you can meet the White Jade Lion of Sound and Color, the green house girl you fell in love with at first sight.”
Wen Hua giggled and ate his noodles and laughed, “What’s wrong with a greenhouse girl, I just like it. This trip to the capital, I’m going for sure!”
The old man smiled faintly.
After eating the noodles, the old man took out some silver money and instructed Wen Hua, who had packed up the dishes and returned to his seat, “Go, buy a good pot of wine.”
Wen Hua said with a blank stare, “A tea seller buying wine to drink, only old man Huang can do it!”
Not long after, Wen Hua came back with a jug of wine, and the old man said blandly, “The remaining few coins of silver, keep them for yourself.”
Wen Hua heatedly smiled, said on the mouth to go out, and then went to the residence hut out of the hidden bag of broken silver, a brain loaded, feet wipe oil run out of the teahouse.
He has long been interested in a set of pictures of the Spring Palace, this day finally enough silver, which will go out to buy. Back then, he and Xu kid have such a fetish, only then traveling the jianghu, poor dingdang, every day there is no meal, that is no money, now a little money, always have to think of their own brothers with a good, Wen Hua thought of the next time we meet face to face, take this as a gift. The gift is light and the love is heavy.
That kid dare to dislike, I will not take the wooden sword to cut him!
Oh girl does not drink, watching the old man drink alone.
The old man laughed softly and said: “Spring and Autumn thirteen ace, I only occupy three ace. The rest of the ten, in addition to the Shu Chen Zhi Bao, and these years dominated the literary world of Liyang Song Guan Hai, are almost gone. Oh, the Song family, the three masters of this family, are also about to be killed by Lu Daan.”
The old man did not seem to have a good capacity for alcohol, and after drinking most of the pot, he collapsed and drifted off to sleep.
The young girl went to bring a thick shirt and quietly covered the old man. Then she stayed by his side and began to be lost in thought again.
The old man was still drunkenly murmuring: “Duke Zhuang dreamed of a butterfly, and the butterfly dreamed of Duke Zhuang? I dream of Duke Zhuang I dream of butterflies …….”
