"Tell me, what is today's topic?”Some people were already impatient.
Many people followed suit. Ye Qiu rolled his eyes. Why was this scene exactly the same as the legendary appearance of the top star of a brothel?
The butler gestured for everyone to quiet down and continued,"A few days ago, the competition was about the zither, zither, chess, calligraphy, and painting. Today, it's everyone's turn to display their chess skills. When my two young ladies were playing chess, they inadvertently drew a draw. Now, both sides have three pieces left. Whoever can break the draw within three pieces will be the winner today.”
As he spoke, the old butler waved his sleeves and two servant girls immediately carried out a chessboard that was already filled with chess pieces. They placed the chessboard on the stone table in the front courtyard.
The group of young masters immediately surrounded him and began to think carefully.
Ye Qiu didn't join these people. He only glanced at the Go board and started to feel dizzy. Fine, he had to admit that this was the first time he had seen Go.
Putting aside his chess skills, it would already be impressive if the Great Scum Ye could count how many black and white chess pieces there were. It was better to let him pick up the dung!
The group of young masters frowned and then shook their heads one after another, unable to find a way.
"No! At the very least, they had to use four of them. It was impossible to break the tie with only three of them.”These words were said by Sun Bofu. Because of his birth, he had been well-read since childhood and had dabbled in chess, so he quickly saw the oddity in it.
Zhou Gongjin also nodded his head. It was true that they could not break the tie between the three of them.
The old butler said," My Miss can only use four pieces to break this tie. That's why she set this game up for everyone to think of a way. Whoever can break this game will prove that their Go skills are above my Miss's. If that's the case, they will definitely be favored by my Miss!”
Hearing this, the eyes of the young masters lit up. They thought about it again and again, but there was still no way.
"I'll do it!" This sudden roar immediately attracted everyone's attention.
This shout was naturally from Ye Qiu. He saw that these people had been wasting time here and could not help but stand up. He was very busy and did not have the time to wait with these young masters.
The old butler also looked at Ye Qiu. He smiled and said,"Since this young master has a way, let's give it a try.”
Ye Qiu nodded and walked over with a strong aura. The group of young masters made way for him one after another, making Ye Qiu extremely happy. As a man, his vanity was unprecedentedly satisfied.
He walked to the side of the stone table and looked around. When he saw the stone bench by the table, he couldn't help but reach out his right hand to grab it, wanting to lift the stone bench.
However, the bottom of the stone bench was fixed to the floor, so he did not lift it up at once.
" Young Master, you…" The old butler was puzzled.
The group of young masters were also puzzled.
"Wait a moment, it'll be done soon!" Ye Qiu replied impatiently. Then, he suddenly let out a low shout and pulled out the stone bench along with the floor. Many people exclaimed in surprise, praising this person's great strength.
However, what happened next almost made their eyeballs pop out.
This person actually raised the stone bench and smashed it at the chessboard…
"Clang…"
The world was quiet. The chessboard was smashed into pieces, and black and white pieces flew everywhere. The winner was decided, and the balance was broken. Ye Qiu won.
Ye Qiu threw away the stone stool in his hand and looked at his masterpiece. He said with satisfaction,"There's no tie. Quickly announce the winner.”
The old butler's eyes twitched violently. He said in a trembling voice,"You…You…"
He didn't know what to say. He was so angry that his beard was sticking up. This person wasn't here to compete in chess. He was simply here to cause trouble.
"What about me? Didn't you just say that whoever can break the tie within three pieces will be the winner? I didn't use a single piece, and the entire game was broken by me. Oh, no, the tie was broken by me. I did even better than what you asked for, so I obviously completed the task. Hurry up and announce the winner. Don't waste everyone's time. It's a bad thing to go back on your word. If you want to blame someone, blame yourself for not making it clear in advance. So, next time, set the conditions. Don't let others take advantage of the situation." Ye Qiu kindly suggested.
The old butler almost spat out a mouthful of blood.
He was so angry!
Just as he was about to curse, a servant girl suddenly walked to his side and whispered something into his ear.
The old butler was stunned at first, then he sighed and slowly said,"Consider yourself lucky. My young miss asked you to go to the back garden.”
"Ha, this relationship is good. It saves me a lot of trouble.”Ye Qiu laughed and followed the servant girl. Diao Chan followed closely behind.
A series of sighs came from behind him. Of course, there were also some curses. Ye Qiu was really too infuriating.
Sun Bo, Fu Zhou Gongjin, these two pretty boys, were also quite unwilling. However, compared to their unwillingness, they were more interested in Ye Qiu's ability to pull out the stone stool. What was the most important thing in this era? What a talent!
Obviously, Ye Qiu was a talent!
It was midsummer, and the temperature was quite high. It was even more humid in the south. However, they were in the Qiao family's courtyard, and the tall trees were connected to each other. The shade of the trees was accompanied by the gentle breeze, making it seem cool and pleasant.
In the lotus pond and Bamboo Pavilion, Ye Qiu could see the two graceful figures leaning against the railing to feed the koi from afar. One of them was wearing a green silk robe, while the other was wearing a red dress. Both of them had their backs to Ye Qiu, so their exact appearances could not be seen clearly.
The Qiao family was indeed a prestigious family. The Qiao residence was quite stylish and had the beauty of Jiangnan's forest garden.
There were fake mountains and flowing water, lush greenery, birds chirping and the fragrance of flowers. Pavilions and pavilions could be seen everywhere. On the carved beams and painted buildings, vermilion glazed tiles shone with dazzling brilliance. In a small pond not far away, pink lotus flowers were blooming beautifully. Under the green lotus leaves, a few red fish were faintly visible, chasing each other and playing happily.
Under the lead of the servant girl, Ye Qiu and Diao Chan quickly arrived at the pond. The two of them stood still while the servant girl walked into the pavilion to report to the two young ladies.
After a while, Ye Qiu and Ye Mo were summoned.
Walking into the pavilion, Ye Qiu finally let out a sigh of relief. The rules of a wealthy family were troublesome. They had to make so many trouble just to meet. It was really a waste of time.
Hearing the commotion, the two women finally turned around. When Ye Qiu saw their faces, he was stunned. He quickly reacted and cupped his hands."Ye Qiu!"
