after marrying the prince

The Tianxia Chess Game started for the first time in the Yueyang Tower on Linyang Street.

Yueyang Tower is the most famous inn in the capital. In the reign of Wu Zhaoding and Chou, it once received the holy car. The holy man wrote the name: the first floor in the world.

Those who travel to and from the capital will not be called to Beijing if they do not sit in Yueyang Tower.

A gilt plaque, a wide door, two big stone lions at the door, and red silk hanging under the eaves of the second floor, hanging down two or three feet, moving with the wind.

A piece of vermilion wood board is one foot high, standing in front of the door, with four large black ink characters written on the left side: Tianxia Chess Bureau.Symmetrical four characters on the right: the world gambling game.

The chess game starts, and the gambling game follows.

People who can play chess challenge, those who can't play chess make bets, everyone is not idle.

After entering the inn, there is a lotus platform in the water.

The lotus platform is octagonal, and the white jade table is half a meter high in the middle of the platform. The jade table is one foot wide and one foot long, and the chess pieces are big fists, which is convenient for guests to watch. On the side table.

When playing chess, the person playing chess on the small case table moves the chess pieces, and the person serving chess next to him will move the black and white characters on the large case table accordingly.

Yueyang Tower has three floors, one above and one below, and it surrounds a circle, forming a square circle around the city.

With such an arrangement, everyone can see the chess game clearly.

The east side is for picking chess, and the west side is for gambling.

On the third floor, there are private rooms in the warm pavilion, which are exclusively for distinguished guests.

Mei Nongxue was sitting in a private room on the third floor, with two maidservants behind her playing cattail fans, and Lou Yunmeng sitting next to her, and they were looking down at the lotus platform in the water.

At this time, Lan Xunyu was wearing a royal blue hardcover, the jade hairpin tied up her long hair like splashed ink, and her cold white slender fingers twisted the sunspots in the jade tube, watching the chess game intently.

Sitting opposite was an old man with white beard. The old man was thin and bony, but his eyes were clear and pure. He wore a scarf on his head and held a feather fan in his hand. He sat cross-legged on the ground, calm and composed.

But soon, his expression became tense, his complexion became more and more bad, and the fan in his hand fell to the ground.

At this time, someone shouted: "Chess Fairy, is your brain not working well when you are old? How will you meet people after losing to this yellow-haired boy?"

"A true gentleman who watches chess without saying a word, what are you arguing about?"

"300 taels of gold, I'm about to lose, why can't I quarrel?! Where did this kid come from?"

"..."

The winners and losers can be seen on the chessboard, and the outcome can also be seen on the gambling table. Almost all the people in the building are blushing and thick necked, and only one young boy has won a lot of money.

Rong Yue watched the banker push over a hill of silver, and was a little overwhelmed.

This stinking hooligan still has some skills.

Sitting behind the bead curtain, Lang Hantian fixed his eyes on the person on the lotus platform who bent over and folded his hands with a smile like a fox.

On the other side, Mei Nongxue saw her 1000 taels of silver being taken away, and her teeth itch with anger.

Lou Yunmeng waved the golden folding fan, smiling like a businessman.

The winner of the first game is determined.

Those who lose go down, and those who win sit on the stage, waiting for others to challenge.

At this time, I saw a person walking out of the bustling crowd, with wide sleeves and a broad robe, walking steadily, with a quiet and elegant voice, smiling at Lan Xunyu who was sitting on the lotus platform: "Xiaosheng is here for a while, but please Teach me."

Lan Xunyu raised her eyes in shock, the person in front of her was really unflattering, with crooked mouth, slanted eyes, scarlet scars on her face, several red warts the size of peanuts hanging beside her nose, as ugly as she could be.

Everyone upstairs also saw this person's appearance.

Someone yelled: "What's wrong with Tianxia Chess? It's just some unfamiliar faces, and each of them looks more crooked than the other."
