My balcony connects the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 431
(Sorry, it's sunny, I've been uncomfortable for a few days...)
"Why do you push people?"

Lu Xun saw Zhuge Liang being pushed a big stagger, so angry that he raised his head and glared at Sima Yi with red cheeks.

Sima Yi hadn't seen anything in Shuofang, and the people he dealt with on weekdays were all grown-ups, and he really wasn't interested in talking to children, so he said lazily, "Just because I'm Sima Yi."

After finishing speaking, without waiting for a few people to react, he went straight to the high platform. At this time, the people of Dongcheng College had been waiting for a long time, and they also saw the noisy scene on their side.

It's just that the distance is too far, he doesn't know what happened at all, he just thinks that the people of Heluo Academy are in a hurry because of the loss.

"Hahaha, your Heluo Academy is really interesting, so you have to send boys to compete?" the scholar of Dongcheng Academy sneered.

Sima Yi didn't bother to pay attention, and knelt down on the futon by himself, and said in a serious tone: "Instead of being so wordy, why don't you think about how to explain to your classmates when you lose."

The scholar was stunned.

Sima Yi signaled the referee to guess first, and the referee looked at Lu Su, Zhuge Liang and the others, seeing that although they were filled with righteous indignation, they did not object to letting this person represent the academy, so he nodded slightly, signaling to start.

"Heluo Academy first, please."

"Thank you."

Sima Yi took the chess bowl, supported it with his index finger and ring finger, lightly tapped his middle finger, picked up a sunspot and landed it on the chessboard.

Seeing this, the scholar didn't bother to argue with a brat, and then let it go without any attention between his eyebrows and eyes.

Sima Yi's expression did not change, and he continued to make money without any hesitation or hesitation.

The two of you came and went, and in a blink of an eye, they reached No.60 Seventh Hand.

At this moment, someone suddenly shouted from the audience: "Silly, this Baizi has been played with so far, otherwise I would have surrendered."

The voice was loud, and the scholar naturally heard it. He was taken aback, and couldn't help but look up at the big chessboard on one side.

The so-called: the authorities are confused by the bystanders.

When he jumped out of the chessboard and looked at the whole game from the perspective of a bystander, the scholar instantly discovered the problem.

I don't know when, I have already been locked by the dragon, as long as the chain is closed, at least [-]% of the white pieces on the board will be eaten, and the reason why the opponent is not in a hurry to lock the dragon is because they want to Youlong splits the gold to finish.

The scholar's face changed drastically, and he remembered the last chess game. Heluo College lost to the formula of Youlong's gold, and this game was won by Youlong's gold. !
Sima Yi squinted his eyes, and said with a light smile, "Did you find out? It's really boring. I'm still short of money."

The scholar looked at this boy who was seven or eight years younger than himself, and almost spit out a mouthful of old blood. Is there anyone who plays with people like this?
You are not playing chess, you are killing people.

"I, I admit defeat." The scholar raised his hand with difficulty, and ran down the high platform resentfully.

Sima Yi picked up a chess piece, suddenly sighed out of laughter, and murmured: "Oh, I'm making a fool of myself again."

He took out his pocket watch and took a look. Fortunately, he only wasted an hour of incense. Sima Yi got up, patted his knees, and walked straight to the high platform.

Seeing this, Xu Shu and Cai Heng hurriedly followed, and asked curiously, "Why, you were excited just now, now you're not interested?"

Sima Yi shook his head and said, "Brother Xu is making fun of me, I still don't practice enough, I shouldn't waste my time on such trivial things."

Xu Shu chuckled and said, "It's okay. Mr. Wei once said that one should not stretch oneself too tightly, and occasionally loosen it. This way of black and white is good, and it is also a good pastime."

Upon hearing this, Sima Yi said solemnly: "No, I will not relax for a moment until I complete the task assigned by Master."

···
"Really strong!"

Seeing Sima Yi and the other three going away, Zhuge Liang and the others looked at each other in blank dismay.

Pang Tong frowned and said: "Should I say it or not, this person's chess skills are very good, I think he is on the same level as Ah Liang."

Zhuge Liang looked back at the big chessboard on the background board of the high platform, frowned and said, "I'm not as good as him."

Fazheng and the others looked at each other and fell silent.

They no longer cared about Sima Yi's disrespectful behavior just now.

When a person is strong enough, no matter how perverse his behavior is, he can be forgiven.

"The last game, let me do it." Zhuge Liang looked at Sima Yi who was going away, and said firmly.

···
Not far from the arena, there is a high-end pastry shop.

Two petite figures poked their heads out from the box on the second floor, hiding their faces with sticks for fear of being discovered by passers-by.

"Niu Niu, can you see clearly? The kid you mentioned hasn't played yet?" Ah Ning asked Niu Niu while supporting the window.

Niu Niu said 'hmm' twice, pointing at Zhuge Liang who was about to take the stage, blushing, and said: "There, there!"

When Ah Ning heard this, he couldn't help but look towards the arena, and the stick in his hand was casually placed on the window sill.

I didn't want the stick to turn around, fell off the eaves, and fell to the street again.

"Ouch!"

"Oops, I hit someone." Ah Ning stuck out her tongue and hurriedly closed the window.

But after all, it was a step too slow.

When Sima Yi raised his head, he happened to see Ah Ning sticking out her tongue. He thought she had hit someone and was still proud of him, so he suddenly became angry.

"Okay, which family's lady is so hateful?"

Cai Heng joked: "It seems that you are a fan of the talented Dongcheng College just now, who made you win his sweetheart."

Xu Shu also laughed, and looked at Sima Yi's head, good guy, there is a bump on his forehead.

Sima Yi angrily picked up the stick, it was made of rosewood, it was not light, no wonder it hurt so much.

Just then, the window opened again.

"Apologize quickly, how can you not apologize when you hit someone?"

"I didn't do it on purpose, the stick rolled down by itself, Sister Hao Niang, please let me go, my ears hurt so much."

Hao Niang let go of her hand angrily, and looked at the pedestrians on the street. At this time, many people looked up casually.

They thought it was a small commotion, but when they saw Hao Niang's face, it was almost visible to the naked eye. With the tavern as the center, everyone within a 20-meter radius froze.

Suddenly something fell to the ground on the street, the sound of earthen pots breaking, and a small traffic accident where donkey carts and carriages collided.

Hao Niang seemed to be accustomed to such scenes, she looked at Sima Yi who was holding a stick, she was startled for a moment, then she smiled and said, "It turns out that Xiaoyi is back, so you should be the one who hit it?"

The three of Sima Yi came back to their senses immediately, and respectfully bowed their hands to Hao Niang, "Sima Yi (Cai Heng, Xu Shu) has met Hao Concubine."

Hao Niang smiled gently, and said: "It seems that the injury is not good, you come up first, I have some small methods to reduce swelling and blood stasis, by the way, let this girl pay you well."

When Ah Ning saw that the person he had hit was actually a senior brother, he stuck out his tongue guiltily, and gave Sima Yi a 'sincere' smirk twice.

Concubine Hao invited her personally, and Sima Yi and the others naturally did not dare to neglect.

On the first floor, they were groped (searched) all over by the female guards. The three of them were so ashamed that their faces turned red and they hurried upstairs.

This pastry shop is very luxuriously decorated, mainly engaged in the business of noble ladies and young ladies from Luoyang aristocratic families.

Therefore, as soon as the three of them went upstairs, they felt that the room was full of fragrance, not the wheat fragrance of pastries, but the floral fragrance of various rouge powders.

"Hey, why did a man go upstairs?"

"Isn't that the young master who was fighting chess in the arena just now!"

At this time, the door of the box at the end of the corridor opened, and a female guard stood there with a big sword.

Seeing this, all the girls greeted the box with blessings, while the three of Sima Yi blushed and hurried over.

The female guard glanced at them, then clasped fists with Xu Shu and said, "I've seen Governor Xu."

Xu Shu bowed his hand in return, not even daring to say anything.

Entering the box, there is a magnificent living room outside, a round rosewood tea table in the middle, and four small round stools.

Facing the north side of the door, there is a gauze screen, on which high mountains and flowing water are painted, gold threads make the sun, and silver threads form rivers, which is extravagant.

Behind the screen, several graceful figures were looming, and they could still be heard whispering about something.

At this time, Hao Niang said: "Sit down and talk. It's rare that Governor Xu is here. Let's talk about the situation in Shuofang. I heard that after winter, there are still people walking on the trade road to the Western Regions. I don't know if it's true or not." ?”

The three of Xu Shu took their seats one by one. Immediately, a servant girl brought up freshly baked small cakes and various pastries, as well as a glass teapot. In front of the three of them, they added hot water and fragrant tea, and put them on a scented candle to warm them.

"It is true that there are caravans coming and going as usual, and it depends on the old general Huangfu guarding the Anxi Dufu. Nowadays, many foreigners have settled down in our Dahan to survive. They do not have a Dahan household registration and cannot be allocated land and land. They can only rely on merchants for a living. Therefore, business affairs have not been cut off."

"So that's how it is." Another woman said, obviously she asked Hao Niang to ask this question.

At this time, Cai Heng asked suddenly: "But my little aunt was there?"

The woman behind the screen was stunned for a moment, got up and walked closer to take a look, then said with a smile: "It turns out that Heng'er is here too, you just returned to Luoyang? Why don't you go back home to see your father first?"

Cai Heng chuckled, glanced at Sima Yi and Xu Shu, and said, "I want to invite my two elder brothers back to the house together, so it's a delay."

This woman was the daughter of the Fan family who was the first to help Cai Yan bring the soap business to Luoyang. Although she was not the biological mother of the three siblings, she always treated the three as her own, so the relationship has always been very good.

Fan went outside, bowed to Xu Shu and Sima Yi, and said, "My Heng'er has always relied on the two little gentlemen to take care of her."

"Don't dare to do it, don't dare to do it." Xu Shu and Xu Shu hurriedly stood up and returned the salute.

Fan patted Cai Heng's head, saw that he had lost weight and darkened a lot, and said distressedly: "Will you go after the Chinese New Year?"

Cai Heng thought he was an adult, pushed Fan's hand away with a blushing face, and replied naturally: "Of course I'm going, I'm the head of Shuofang County's city affairs, they can't do without me in charge of the overall situation."

"Oh? You are the head of Shuofang city affairs, come here, come and tell me, why did you tear down my soup pool?"

On the other side of the screen, Zhang Hui came out with a baby in her arms. Although she was asking questions, her tone was actually full of anger.

Cai Heng was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect to meet the strong woman behind Tangchi, it would be difficult to deal with it now, and Shuofang's Tangchi was not demolished by him, it was...

At this moment, Sima Yi got up and bowed to Zhang Hui, saying, "So that Guanshi Zhang knows that the idea of ​​demolishing Tangchi was brought up by me."

Zhang Hui naturally did not dare to offend Wei Jun's chief disciple, but was just curious about his explanation.

"The two soup pools are asymmetrical, which affects the perception of the entire Shuofang City."

"...Because of this?"

Sima Yi cupped his hands and said seriously, "Yes, because of the asymmetry."

Zhang Hui and Fan Shi all looked confused.

Only Xu Shu and Cai Heng, who were used to Sima Yi's serious and stupid talk, smiled wryly.

Xu Shu hurriedly said: "Guard Zhang can rest assured, I have ordered people to rebuild the Tangchi before, and it must be open for business now."

Zhang Hui glanced at Sima Yi strangely, and walked back behind the screen with the baby in his arms.

Sima Yi couldn't help but glanced at the baby. For some reason, something seemed to be leaving him in his heart, and his heart was empty.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa..."

As if sensing something, the baby girl suddenly burst into tears.

Zhang Hui hurriedly comforted her, "Be good, Chunhua doesn't cry, Chunhua is the best."

···
Leave the pastry shop.

Xu Shu looked at Sima Yi speechlessly, and said, "You, you, you can't make a detour when you talk, that Guanshi Zhang is an incredible figure, the development of Shuofang's economy and trade cannot be done without her contribution, what if I get offended? "

Sima Yi frowned and said: "Why do you deliberately talk in circles? Even if you are afraid of offending others, it is she who is afraid of offending me, not me. I am the administrator of Shuofang appointed by Lord Wei. Do you still have to act according to people's faces?" ?”

Xu Shu was at a loss for words.

However, Cai Heng felt that what Sima Yi said was right. Young masters like them from aristocratic families were actually a bit machismo. He felt that the male master was outside the house and the female master was domestic, and he somewhat looked down on Zhang Hui, a strong business woman.

But Xu Shu is different. He comes from a humble background, and has been through the world for a long time. He has a precise grasp of human relationships and sophistication.

If he hadn't come forward to save the siege just now, I'm afraid Zhang Hui would have hated Sima Yi in his heart.

Don't underestimate Zhang Hui's energy. Although she is only in charge of Tangchi in name, anyone who knows the business knows that Zhang Hui is involved in all industries related to Tangchi.

Let's not talk about anything else, let's talk about Xiuhefang. Zhang Hui's role in it is very important for the development and growth of Xiuhefang. Otherwise, just relying on Du Liniang's beauty is not enough to open Xiuhefang all over the country.

"Oh, forget it, forget it, I'm too lazy to talk about you...huh?"

Xu Shu stopped suddenly, and a look of vigilance flashed across his brows.

When Sima Yi and Cai Heng looked back at him, Xu Shu's forehead was already dripping with cold sweat.

"Brother Xu?" Sima Yi looked around and said in a deep voice, "What did you see, but there are Xiongnu assassins around?"

The three of them called for the wind and rain in Shuofang, and they offended many Huns. They often summoned the Huns to attack and kill them, especially Xu Shu, who was in danger several times, so that he developed a little ability to perceive danger.

Only, this time is different.

Xu Shu frowned, looked at the porch of a restaurant not far away, and said in a deep voice: "I didn't expect that temptress to come to Luoyang, but wherever she appears, there must be no good things."
