Time is like a white horse, and in the blink of an eye, one month has passed. In ancient times, life really passed too fast. There was no modern clutter. Life was as usual, which made Chen Xiuping's heart more peaceful.

Perhaps because of Sun Ning'er's instructions, or perhaps because of the appreciation of the old man Su Tianqi, the servants of the Su family no longer looked down upon the uncle who had married into his wife as before, and Chen Xiuping also got many opportunities to go out.

One day, Chen Xiuping went out and happened to see two old men playing chess at the door of an old house. At this time, Chen Xiuping remembered that the Southern Song Dynasty was the era when modern chess was born, but chess was not called chess in the Southern Song Dynasty.

It's called Xiang Opera. I didn't expect that this thing also existed in the New Song Dynasty.

There is also an interesting miscellaneous talk about chess. There is also an interesting story in the Southern Song Dynasty. The famous Song Gaozong Zhao Gou became emperor because of chess.

According to the records of "Bei Meng Lu", in the second year of Jingkang, the second emperor announced the empress dowager, and the whole family moved northward. It was unknown that King Kang came to the throne. At that time, the empress dowager tried to play with elephants, covered it with yellow rhodium, wrote the name of King Kang on it, burned incense and said:

Now the thirty-two sons are all thrown into the game. If King Kang enters the Nine Palaces, the king will definitely get the throne. If one of his sons enters the Nine Palaces, none of his sons will come close. The Empress Dowager raised her forehead with her hand, she was very happy, and the ministers bowed down to congratulate them.

, and I am very happy to report that the Emperor is very happy. I will tell the Empress Dowager Rui Di, and it will be different, so you can rest assured."

This shows the great influence of chess in the Song Dynasty.

Chen Xiuping had never thought before that since he had nothing to do now, he might as well watch the fight between these two old men.

As soon as they stopped, Ping'er introduced to Chen Xiuping in a low voice that one of the old men was Wang Dao, a well-known scholar in Jianghuai and was called a prince.

For a long time, the two old men have been fighting for several games. Chen Xiuping, who has modern knowledge, feels that the two old men are very good at playing chess. They just have no foresight in playing chess. You can see the superficial routines at a glance and there are no traps at all.

Chen Xiuping's shaking head attracted the attention of an old man.

Perhaps the prince saw a group of servants behind Chen Xiuping and thought that Chen Xiuping was the son of a certain aristocratic family.

"Young Master, you have been here for a long time. Why, are you interested in acting?"

The prince's meaning was already expressed in his words, that is, whether he wanted to play the next game or not.

Chen Xiuping also became interested. This chess game was the only one that was indistinguishable from modern games for so long. He responded randomly: "Then I'll beg for mercy."

After several fights, the prince's expression changed drastically, from the calm and composed before to the red face now.

"I won't come. The young master is too aggressive. He is not aboveboard at all. He looks like a villain who gets what he wants."

"What? The prince already knows my character with just these few sentences? Then I have to say goodbye. See you later."

Chen Xiuping was a little funny. This chess game is like a battlefield. If everyone is so aboveboard, then the price of victory will be too high. The old scholar's thoughts are still so stubborn. Chen Xiuping left after saying goodbye.

"My aunt, this prince is a well-known university scholar. Scholars are very vindictive, especially this kind of old scholar. My aunt is afraid that he will get a reputation of disrespecting the elderly."

Ping'er's worried words made Yi'er extremely worried. If the young master obtains a meritorious service in the future, the reputation of being disrespectful to the elderly may affect the young master's career.

Chen Xiuping smiled calmly. If this was the case, this king would not be worthy of the title of Grand Duke. He was just a rotten person. Looking at Ping'er and Yi'er who cared about him, Chen Xiuping brushed Ping'er's little face with his hand and said

: "I didn't expect that my Ping'er cares so much about my uncle."

"Uncle, I hate it."

Ping'er, who has been teased many times, has long been used to what Chen Xiuping does, but as a servant, she can only resist verbally. After all, she is Suning'er's personal maid, and if Chen Xiuping takes her body by force
