School.
The school is over now, but Xie Yu is still in the classroom grading homework. With two classes, the amount of homework is not small.
Xiaobao found Xie Yu and complained to her in a wronged manner.
Xie Yu was stunned for a moment. "Learning is endless. You have only read a few books. How can you stop reading them?"
"Hmm..." Xiao Bao stared outside and said helplessly, "It used to be interesting, but lately I find it too boring."
Xie Yu, "..."
If Master Yi heard this, he would probably be furious.
"If you want others to understand you, then you have to understand others. You are still young, and it will be good for you to study more. When you finish your Class A lessons, Sister Song will definitely support you in whatever you want to do."
Seeing her pitiful look, Xie Yu's heart softened and he said, "How to get Dabao promoted to Class C? You have to go find Bai Shu. If that doesn't work, ask Zhang Dandan. The two of them helped Ma Hu get promoted to Class C before."
Xiao Bao got the idea and immediately got up to find someone, "Then I'll go find Brother Bai Shu."
Xie Yu sighed softly. With Xiaobao's personality, it was fortunate that she was a girl. Although she had the ability to study, she had too strong personal ideas. If she were really a boy, it would be a real pity if she didn't take the imperial examination.
Zhang Rushan is now working as a lawyer in the county. He doesn’t know whether he will take the exam again in the future. It’s a pity for him.
"Xiaoyu."
Xie Yu looked towards the door and saw that it was Zhang Rushan. What a coincidence.
"Aren't you in the county? Why are you back?" Xie Yu stood up and asked with a smile.
Zhang Rushan took out a box of cakes and said, "Baihua Cake's cakes are open today, so I bought some. I remember your favorite."
"Xiaobao likes it very much, too."
Zhang Rushan sat in front of her desk and unfolded the oil paper. Xie Yu poured two cups of tea for them.
"I don't care about other people's affairs. I just remember that you like to eat." Zhang Rushan leaned lazily, ate a piece of cake, drank a sip of tea, and looked at the clean stone courtyard outside.
"How did you find out? I remember I hid it very well." Xie Yu held his lower body with his hands and took a light bite of the Hundred Flowers Cake.
It still tastes the same.
Zhang Rushan turned his head to look at her and smiled, "You will notice it if you watch it often."
Hearing this, Xie Yu's body froze for a moment, not daring to move. He could only quietly turn his eyes to look at Zhang Rushan, and happened to meet Zhang Rushan's face with a sly smile.
The two of them were amused by each other.
Until the opening day of Tianyuan Chess Hall, a total of 126 people registered.
Song Yuehua felt that not everyone here knew how to play chess.
So Master Yi set up a basic game and asked people to solve it. Only those who could solve it could participate in the competition. Sure enough, after a morning, only 46 people were left.
Master Yi took the roster and asked her how to compete next.
"Draw lots," Song Yuehua said, "Whoever you draw will compete with."
Master Yi hesitated for a moment before saying, "I'm afraid that's not fair."
Song Yuehua flipped through the roster and said, "The opening competition is free. If we really use a round-robin system, it will take a long time. I organized this competition mainly to create a name for myself. Whether they can win in the end depends on their luck."
"That's true."
The chess hall just opened today, and what it wants is popularity and publicity.
Song Yuehua knew that Master Yi was also eager to compete, but it was not possible to let him do so this time.
"Master Yi, you don't need to participate in this competition." Song Yuehua said.
Master Yi, "..."
In the first round, 46 people were paired up by drawing lots. During the entire chess process, Song Yuehua asked Master Yi to assign a grade to each person and then reveal the grade when the time came.
From low to high, level 25 to level 1, everyone's level is hung on the wall. This is also the first level-setting game after the opening.
For players below level 15, you will be promoted one level for each win you make, up to level 15.
For level 15 and above, within three levels, you will be promoted to the next level after winning four out of seven games.
Those above level 1 are counted by rank, from low to high, 1st rank to 9th rank.
After listening, Master Yi sighed heavily, "Okay."
Song Yuehua consoled him, "After this ranking game is over, I'll let Xiaobao play chess with you in the chess hall."
"Forget it then." Master Yi said, "I'll just find my own opponent."
Song Yuehua, "..."
By the afternoon, the competition rules were announced and everyone found their opponents. Two people sat at a table together and chose the chess pieces by guessing numbers. Soon the sound of chess pieces colliding could be heard in the chess hall.
Master Yi was holding a book and a brush, walking back and forth constantly to record the chess moves. Song Yuehua made a large pot of tea and kept refilling the tea on each table.
Not long after the competition started, Gan Changming came to congratulate with gifts. He was smiling at first, but when he entered the store and saw this scene, he immediately lowered his voice, "Miss Song, no, Mr. Song!"
"You just need to come and show your support. Why do you need to send gifts?"
Song Yuehua felt a little embarrassed. Gan Changming's tavern was a few blocks away, but she had never been there once. She didn't expect that when her place opened, not only would someone come to talk about it, but he would also bring gifts.
After Gan Changming put his things down, he said, "Every time I see people playing chess, I always feel envious. Now that I have this chess hall, it will be much more convenient to learn chess in the future. It's a pity that I can't participate in the Tianyuan Award this time."
"That's fine," Song Yuehua said, "After this year, there's still next year. By then, it won't be too late for you to come and have fun again."
Gan Changming laughed and said, "Then I am looking forward to it."
Song Yuehua did not publicize the opening of the chess club, so some people who did not know how to play chess came and just added to the fun.
