Chapter 5 Section five

Time: At the beginning of Weishi, the second quarter (according to today's time, it should be one thirty in the afternoon). Location: Wuming Villa, inside the Purple Bamboo Garden. The third young master suddenly withdrew his gaze, and said: "This game is closed here, what do you think, Master?" Master Lu said: "My lord's defeat is already set, so sealing the disk would be superfluous." The third son said: "I have a visitor, I'm afraid I don't have time to continue. Therefore, I want to seal the plate." Master Lu said: "Young master wants to play tricks again, I won't be fooled by you again. Young master should admit defeat without hesitation. It's not shameful to lose to me, Mr. Lu. You want to run away when you are about to lose? Your character is top-notch. , the quality of chess will never be so indecent."

The third son said seriously: "There is indeed a visitor, why should I lie to you?" Master Lu said: "Where is there a visitor? Why didn't I hear anything?" The third son said: "Your martial arts are so poor, of course you realized later. Look, isn't this here?" Sure enough, Uncle Meng and a middle-aged man appeared in their line of sight one after the other.That middle-aged man had a wide mouth, a plump nose and sharp eyes, a red complexion, full of official authority. Uncle Meng approached the third young master and said, "Young master, Mr. Bao Wenbao from the Ministry of Punishment is asking to see you."

The third young master nodded slightly, and said to Master Lu: "Master, it's better to seal the disk first." "No, don't leave until you admit defeat." "I may not lose this game." "Still stubborn. Then go on." "Why are you so obsessed with who wins and who loses? When Mr. Bao comes to visit, I will always do my best as a landlord." "You can leave if you want, but first write the surrender form." The third son said: "A handsome man of seven feet can be killed but not humiliated. It is absolutely impossible to write a surrender form."

Ning Xin'er said: "Cao Xiaosan, how many times have you written the surrender form. Is there anyone here who doesn't know everything about you, who are you acting for?" The third son said: "Okay, you little girl, help outsiders to humiliate me. See how I deal with you." Ning Xin'er raised her head and said fiercely: "What do you want?" The third young master knew that he couldn't afford to offend him, so he smiled weakly and sighed: "Forget it, the pen and ink are waiting for me, and I just happen to be able to practice calligraphy."

Master Lu came prepared and presented the pen, ink, paper and inkstone early.The third young master took the lead in writing, and accomplished it in one stroke: The opponent is a rogue, so he loses.If you don't accept it, start all over again. Master Lu protested: "It's all wrong." He snatched the paper and said, "I'll read it, you write it." Then he said: "Today I had a hand-to-hand conversation with Master Lu, and the dragon was brutally slaughtered, and the whole army was killed. .The corpses are strewn all over the field, and the blood is flowing like a river. Why are the chess pieces suffering from this disaster? Master Lu's chess skills are superb, and he throws his five bodies to the ground, which is beyond the reach of dust."

The third son was also obedient, he would write whatever Master Lu said, and after writing, he signed and marked it. Master Lu put away the form of surrender like a baby. The third young master said: "Master, I just saw and returned the scrapped piece of paper." Master Lu said: "Young master, why are you so stingy? Your calligraphy is very valuable. In your opinion, it is a piece of waste paper. But I can exchange it for dozens of taels of silver, enough for my whole family to eat a tael." months." "You don't want to sell this surrender certificate, do you? If you want to sell it, I can buy it now."

Master Lu said cheerfully: "I am reluctant to sell it. I am afraid that my chess skills can only be compared to my own. The calligraphy of the third son is the treasure of my Lu family. After a hundred years, it can be passed on to all descendants. It is also to let the descendants know how glorious their ancestors were." Ning Xin'er was not interested in the upcoming topic between the third young master and Bao Wen, so she pushed the third young master far away. She sat in the third young master's original seat in front of the chessboard, cleared away the pieces on the chessboard, and reopened with Master Lu. One round.Uncle Meng leaned on his crutches and watched from the sidelines.None of the three people looked at the third young master any more.
