Chapter 102 Pharmacist Li Jing
In the Duke of Wei’s mansion, Li Jing and his wife were playing games with Xiao Xuanxuan in the backyard. When they heard that Du Shaoqing was coming, they were secretly surprised. Didn’t he be busy treating the disease in the Imperial Hospital all day? Besides, what happened to the Du family today is that he still has time to visit?
That's right, this is the first time Du Shaoqing visited, but because of the haste, he didn't even have a visit or a gift. Of course, he, a later generation, was white and could write a visit. At this time, he forgot about gifts and so on because of his urgency.
In the Li family's living room, Old Li Jing observed this young man with beautiful eyebrows and eyes that looked like Du Ruhui. Du Shaoqing was also observing the legendary Tang Dynasty war god Li Jing.
"Ahem, I said you two, you two have been staring at each other since you entered the door. Both sides are not big girls, one is an old guy and the other is poor. What can I see? Those who don't know think you two are good at men's style." Zhang Chuchen took the child to quip, and one sentence made the old and the young blush.
Du Shaoqing bowed awkwardly: "I am purely admiring the heroic demeanor of Duke Wei, and I have no other intentions."
"I just appreciate the child's honesty and courage. Mrs. Don't talk nonsense." Old Li Jing coughed lightly.
Okay, the two of them were still excited when they sang together. Zhang Chuchen asked directly: "Boy Du, something happened at your home. Are you still free to come here to see the two old guys? Don't worry, Xuanxuan is very good for me, don't worry."
"Yes, Dad, they have learned to eat mutton with their master and grandfather." Xiao Xuanxuan showed off.
Du Shaoqing felt a little upset when he heard this. It turned out that the child had grown up so old and had never eaten mutton. "I came here to take the child back. If something happened at home, my younger brother Du He was in trouble, so my mother and I decided to take him back to Luoxia Town for a while."
"What? Are you leaving? Xuanxuan is also going back? Then have you discussed with Your Majesty and the Queen? The Queen's illness cannot be separated from you." Zhang Chuchen exclaimed, Li Jing next to him showed reluctance, and he also liked this little girl very much.
"The queen's illness is fine, she only needs to recuperate for another ten days. In order to prevent Your Majesty from forcing her to stay, I will leave a letter for my second brother Du Gou to explain it clearly to them." Du Shaoqing explained.
Zhang Chuchen suddenly stood up, "Then you stay here for a while. I will take Xuanxuan into the palace. The queen and this girl have a deep relationship. You can't leave without saying goodbye."
"But..." Du Shaoqing was afraid that the queen would stay forcibly.
"Don't worry, I will make sense of the queen's place, and I won't let you go." After saying that, he picked up the child and walked out quickly toward the palace.
The two of Du Shaoqing and Lao Li Jing were left at home and looked at each other again.
After a long time, Old Li Jing couldn't help but break the awkward calm, "I heard that you live in the remote Luoxia Town? Are you a scholar who has never come out and have heard of my reputation?"
Du Shaoqing said in his heart that this old man obviously made me praise him. Unfortunately, I studied medicine and had no history. I only knew a few celebrities from the Tang Dynasty, but I really didn’t know too many of their classic stories.
"Duke of Wei is known as the God of the Tang Dynasty and is our marshal of the three armies. Who knows the invincible reputation?"
"Haha, I've been too awarded, I've been too awarded, and I'm not afraid to be a military god, so I'm absolutely not afraid to be a! You are a good boy. My wife said you are poor, but how can you mean you are poor? You're obviously a very capable young man.
Do you know how to play chess? If you have nothing to do, why don’t we kill one game? Don’t call me Duke, just talk about it from your father, just call me Uncle Li.”
So the two of them sat on the chess opposite each other. Du Shaoqing looked at the chessboard in front of him in surprise. This is chess? Not to mention that the chessboard is not as weird as the Chuhe Han Realm, just the number of pieces is not right. What about chariots, horses, soldiers, soldiers, generals, and cannons?
Du Shaoqing didn't know that the formation of chess was a historical process. It was said that Wu Zetian was a chess fan, but there was no Xianghe Cannon at that time. It was not until the Song Dynasty that it truly evolved into the thirty-two-subject chess that were like later generations.
Du Shaoqing was stunned, I can't do it! Old Li Jing quit. Is it hard to say you guys just now? Could it be that he deliberately pretended to be a storefront and was exposed by me in a blink of an eye?
"To be honest, Uncle Li, the chess I played was not like this. There were thirty-two pieces, and there were more double cannons and double-phase than yours."
"Oh? I have never heard of it. This chess is also called the eclipse in the Tang Dynasty. It was invented by someone in combination with battlefield troops. So I like it very much. Sometimes I can practice military deduction. I will explain the chess you have learned. I can't change it casually." Li Jing obviously didn't believe it.
But seeing Du Shaoqing telling the way to play thirty-two pieces of chess and the use of extra pieces, Li Jing was stunned. He was clever, meticulous, and more varied than the existing chess.
"Okay, I didn't expect you, a scholar, to know about military affairs? Come on, put the thirty-two pieces of chess on the table, and you and I will play a game."
Old Li Jing laughed with his palms, but unexpectedly there were unexpected gains. He found a few simple things as extra chess pieces, and the two of them started playing chess.
I thought I was a veteran on the battlefield, and I was sure to win such a game containing military tactics, but reality was very slapped in the face. Old Li Jing was killed three games without realizing it.
"Let's come back, you kid is also a cunning person. I'm careless for a moment." Li Jing shouted.
"Ahem, Uncle Li, this is a new type of chess. You are not very skilled at all. You will be better off practicing more yourself before you can do it." Du Shaoqing refused.
But these words made Li Jing unhappy, "You boy look down on me?"
"How dare you, I? Absolutely not."
"What's the point? I'm not the one who can't afford to lose. Although these thirty-two pieces of chess are a new method for me, I am a veteran, just a fight." At this time, Old Li Jing was quite honest and unwilling to accept his old age.
Du Shaoqing wanted to tell him that he did not do it on purpose, not that he was good at chess. In fact, when he was learning chess, he memorized many chess scores. I don’t know how many famous games there have been since the Song Dynasty. After one game was used, Li Jing, a novice, could only step on the tricks over and over again.
On the other hand, Hongfu girl Zhang Chuchen brought Xiao Xuanxuan into the palace, and the queen was accompanied by two daughters, including the eldest daughter Princess Changle Li Lizhi and the younger daughter Princess Jinyang Li Mingda (i.e. Xiao Yizi). Since Yizi and Du Xuanxuan broke up, they have had sex with her fifth sister Li Lizhi again.
When Li Lizhi heard that her daughter was coming, she hurriedly hid aside and observed secretly.
When the queen heard Zhang Chuchen say that Du Shaoqing was leaving, she was also surprised, but when she thought of the troubles of the Du family, she finally nodded helplessly and let them go out to avoid it first.
On the way here, Zhang Chuchen had already explained the situation to his apprentice and told her not to have a quarrel with Yizi. This time she came, she would say goodbye to her good friend.
Xiao Xuanxuan is very sensible. She has long forgotten the unhappiness of the two of them these days. Although she also wants to play together again, she remembered what happened that day as soon as she met, and both of them were only staring at each other.
He came to Xiao Yizi with his little tiger cub in his arms. Yizi turned his head with his mouth pouted and said, "I can't understand the meaning." That's just saying, I'm not happy, ignore you."
"Sister Sitzi, I'm going home tomorrow and I won't come to the palace anymore." Xuanxuan said with some sadness.
"Ah?" Yizi immediately changed her face and exclaimed. She turned around and looked at her. She looked at her with no sign of anger, leaving only her anxious face.
