Meng Huan turned to look at Lin Bozhou and suggested, “Let’s go?”

Chrysanthemum Garden.

Lin Bozhou inclined his head slightly and said, “If Huan Huan wants to go, then sure.”

Meng Huan chirped, “Yay!” q5F7xL

He led Lin Bozhou to the deck of the boat. As expected, the surface of Jinhe Lake was even more unobstructed. The lights on the clear water were swaying, and it was quite like the scenery of the Qinhuai River in the shadows of the oars and lights. The aroma of wine and the fragrance of wine blew in the hot air. The fragrance of powder makes people feel relaxed and happy.

He led Lin Bozhou to the deck of the boat. The surface of the Jin River was more panoramic from the boat. The lights flickered on the clear water, quite like the Qinhuai River with oar sounds and lantern shadows. The scent of wine and the fragrance of powder mixed with the hot air, making people relaxed and happy.

The front of the boat under the canopy had the best view. Just as Meng Huan started to head there, he was stopped by the waiter. “My apologies, Young Master, these seats are reserved.”

Meng Huan felt a burst of disappointment, but he nodded and took a few steps inside. “Then I will sit at this table here.”

Before he could get his butt on the seat, the waiter rushed over once more in a panic. “Young Master, you can’t sit here either, it is also reserved.”

“…” Although Meng Huan was disappointed, he had, after all, come at the last moment, so he could only nod. “Then where can I sit?”

“This table, this one, this one, any of these are fine,” the waiter walked around, apologizing, “I’m so sorry, sir, our boat has the best view in Jinhe, so young master, sir We all chose this place to sit, and most of them made reservations in advance. I’m surprised that I didn’t explain it clearly to the young master.”

“This table, this one, or this one, these are all available.” The waiter turned to point at the tables, then apologized, “Really sorry, Young Master. Our pleasure boat has the best view of the Jin River, so all the young masters and gentlemen choose to sit here, and many of them book in advance. It was this one’s fault for not being clear.” RYm9zx

Meng Huan scratched his head and looked at the few remaining tables.

This seat was in a much darker and more remote location than either of the ones he’d picked earlier.

Honestly, he wanted to sit at the empty table he’d spotted just before.

Standing in place, he was torn. XZfKoa

To sit, or not to sit?

If he chose to sit, they would be in a bad spot.

If he chose to not sit, they could change to another boat, but the location would not be as good as this one, and there was a chance that it would also be booked completely as well.

As his indecisive tendencies began to act up, Meng Huan struggled to weigh the options. Lin Bozhou chuckled softly beside him. i6mW7p

Despite not being able to see, he could guess what Meng Huan was thinking about as soon as he began to hem and haw.

Meng Huan blushed a little and gently squeezed his fingertips.

So fierce.

The two of them refused to sit down. The waiter knew that this was because he was dissatisfied with the seats. He lowered his voice and said as if he was telling a secret: “To be honest, sir, the young master who made the reservation has a strong background. There is nothing you can do about it, otherwise he will also give it to you.” Young Master, please change your seat. Young Master, please sit here, the night view is not bad.” 5deQ4b

When they refused to take their seats for a long time, the waiter knew that they were dissatisfied with the available seats, so he lowered his voice and sighed. “To tell this young master the truth, the young lord who booked the seats is from a powerful background. This one’s hands are tied. Otherwise, I would have shifted seats around for you. But why don’t you sit here, the view is not so bad.”

When he brought up the status of the young lord, he’d obviously hoped Meng Huan would yield.

However, Meng Huan glanced at the guy before looking at Lin Bozhou beside him.

…What kind of big shot had he not seen? zsipJn

It was not that he was questioning whether the other party was powerful or not, it was just that stating this in front of Lin Bozhou was a bit like…showing off one’s carpentry skill with an ax in front of the Great Carpenter Lu Ban’s gate.

If in Shuangwen, Meng Huan had just said, “Do you know who the person next to me is?!”, he would have successfully changed seats. But after all, Meng Huan didn’t have an arrogant and domineering temperament. After thinking about it for about half a minute, he held the hand Lin Bozhou: “Let’s find another boat, okay?”

If this were a feel-good novel, Meng Huan would go ahead and tell the waiter ‘Do you have any idea who is beside me?!’. It would definitely score him a seat change, but Meng Huan didn’t have a domineering and arrogant temperament at all. After pondering it for about half a minute, he took Lin Bozhou’s hand and suggested, “Let’s change to another boat, alright?”

Lin Bozhou replied, “Mmm.” 4qH2JD

Meng Huan walked back, the middle of the boat was narrow, and a group of people came up. The young man in the middle was wearing silk and satin, holding a jade fan, wearing a cicada crown on his head, holding a book in both hands and reading. The servants escorted and signaled to relevant passers-by to stay away.

Obviously, this was the kind of display that only a rich young lord could make. AhQU4g

Generally, ordinary people could only go around when meeting such a young lord.

—However, rather unfortunately, Lin Bozhou was now in the middle of the walkway. Even though Lin Bozhou was incognito, there was no way he would give way to others, his esteemed pedigree refused it.

Ahead, one of the young lord’s guard servants said, “Make way.”

Before Meng Huan could speak, the guard dressed in plain clothes behind Lin Bozhou said, “Pardon us, our young master was the first to enter this walkway, so please give way.” 7a8For

The other party burst into a roar of laughter. It was a jeer that suggested the other side was very ignorant of who he was working for. Like saying, How dare you speak of priority in front of our young master, on what basis?

It seemed that this young lord must indeed be very powerful.

After some thought, Meng Huan spoke up, “How about you guys give way? This walkway is only so long, we will get out of your path soon.”

At this time, someone suddenly let out an ah before saying, “Oh, a blind man.” s9czDR

“……”

The young man in front of him, who was busy reading a book, finally raised his head slightly. His eyes first landed on Meng Huan, then on Lin Bozhou.

Lin Bozhou wore a plain white robe, and his eyes were covered by white gauze. He stood up straight, with shadows on his eyebrows, eyes, and nose. He did not have the pressure he usually felt when he was a regent. Instead, he looked like a man with eye diseases, education, and a pure temperament. scholar.

Lin Bozhou was wearing a plain white robe with his eyes covered by white gauze. He stood up straight and upright, his eyebrows and nose tinged with shadows, and instead of giving off the pressure of the Prince Regent, he was more like a scholar with an eye illness that possessed an educated background and a nondescript bearing. vHKlJZ

But the servant behind him was tall and strong, with a sharp gaze like lightning. His hands were already clasped by his side discreetly, which was clearly the posture of holding a blade.

For some reason, the young lord’s hands trembled violently.

He looked at the source of the voice and said, “How rude!”

After the reprimand, he turned slightly to the side. “It is fine, let the two gentlemen pass first.” RU40yY

As Meng Huan’s party was about to leave, the young lord asked, “Are you two also here for the lantern show?”

Meng Huan paused and replied, “Ah, yes.”

“Then why are you two leaving now?” He smiled in a friendly manner.

The waiter interjected, “The two young masters did not like the view offered by the available tables and wanted to go to another boat.” 983c7q

“…”

The young master suddenly understood, and his tone was still kind: “Oh, did I decide these tables? Well, you can sit at any table you like. Since we are watching a lantern festival, it’s a good idea to have fun and make friends. “

The young lord suddenly exclaimed while still speaking in a friendly tone, “Oh, did I book those tables? That’s fine. Since it is for the lantern show, Young Master, please freely pick a table that you’d like to sit at. This is the night to have a good time, and we can also make friends.”

Hearing the words “make friends” directly gave Meng Huan PTSD. U8RkDZ

Remembering that this was a political intrigue novel, he simply tossed his brain away and turned to Lin Bozhou. “Should we sit here or not?”

He leaned close to Lin Bozhou’s ear and spoke in a very low voice. His breath softly tickled the man’s ear.

He was really like a child who wanted him to make every decision.

Lin Bozhou’s lips curved into a smile and he said, “Yes, let’s sit here.” sSip96

Meng Huan shouted as if he were a megaphone, “Alright, thank you.”

He led Lin Bozhou towards the empty seat under the canopy at the front of the boat. The young man was dumbfounded. “Young Master, this is the seat you wanted?”

Meng Huan replied, “Yes, is there something wrong?”

The young man said a little helplessly, “The bow of the boat is the most open location and provides a full view of the fireworks, this one also wants to sit there.” Ec78vn

Meng Huan murmured, “That…”

As he smiled with a bit of cunning, the young man’s voice suddenly took on an excited note, “Do the two of you know how to play Weiqi? Why don’t we make a bet? The winner takes the table at the bow of the boat.”

A large number of literati were interested in playing chess, calligraphy and painting, making friends with literature, and making friends with chess. Emperor Xuanhe was a young man addicted to Go. It is not suitable to talk about love or paint in Huafang at the moment, and this young master probably doesn’t like to write poetry, so it is not difficult to understand that he proposed to play chess.

The pursuits of scholars in the Zong Dynasty were nothing more than the four arts. They would associate by means of literature and make friends through strategy games. Even the Xuanhe Emperor was a youth obsessed with Weiqi. Since it was not appropriate to talk about playing guqin or painting while on a pleasure boat, and it was not difficult to guess that the young master lacked interest in composing poems, it was reasonable that he proposed Weiqi. OsSb K

Meng Huan shook his head. “I don’t know how to play.”

The young man turned to Lin Bozhou with starry eyes. “Can this young master play Weiqi?”

“…”

Meng Huan looked at the young man with surprise. U5KyEf

The young man was confused. “What’s wrong?”

Meng Huan pointed out, “Can you not tell that he can’t see out of his eyes at the moment? You’re still asking him to play Weiqi with you?”

He felt offended on behalf of Lin Bozhou.

He frowned and muttered under his breath. This was when Lin Bozhou chuckled, placing a hand on his, and said calmly, “The winner will sit at the bow of the boat?” dUmErl

The young man chirped in a bright voice, “The winner gets to sit at the head of the boat, you have my word!”

Lin Bozhou’s voice was very calm and collected, completely unruffled. “Then let’s play a match.”

However, it actually caused a great uproar all around.

A passerby reminded, “Young Master, you’d better be sure. Since you can’t see, then you can only play blindly.” VwCSGk

“Go is still blind chess. This is a game that only gods can play! You cannot look at the chessboard. There are nineteen vertical and horizontal paths, and there are countless changes. It requires extremely strong memory and calculation power.”

“To play Weiqi, and to play blind on top of that, is a style that only immortals can play! Because you can’t see the board, it requires great memory and planning abilities to keep track of nineteen rows and columns as well as each move and change as the game progresses.”

“Gosh, this fellow young master, if you don’t want to give up the bow seat, just say so directly. Why go as far as bullying someone who is blind?”

“…” upEcPF

The onlookers were shocked. Even though Meng Huan couldn’t play Weiqi, he still understood the complexity of the game. He would get overwhelmed just watching people play.

Moreover, this was playing blind. Not only did the player need to have the memory capability to remember the complex board, they also had to determine the moves made.

“…”

—Just how big of a golden finger did the original author give to Lin Bozhou… NskwIr

“Huan Huan, wait a moment. After this match, we can sit outside to watch fireworks,” Lin Bozhou reassured Meng Huan with a gentle voice.

A slightly dry and humid night breeze blew across the ship.

Meng Huan paused and nodded.

Lin Bozhou was winning the seat for him. snd4Tj

He sat down beside Lin Bozhou, watching quietly.

The young lord across the table also put a black cloth around his eyes and said with a smile, “Since the young master is playing blind, this one will naturally join you.”

“!!!”

Their surroundings were already restless, but the atmosphere could be deemed fiery now. dn3ZFv

That young lord would play blind as well???

With such a relaxed and arrogant tone, it seemed that there would be a fight between immortals tonight.

Sensing the bustling atmosphere around him, Meng Huan vaguely realized what was going on.

Sure enough, there were very few ordinary people in this political intrigue novel QWQ. eXQV7S

He squatted beside the table eagerly. There was no chess scale on the table, but the two of them sat face to face and told the position of the chess pieces. It was as if a chessboard appeared in the void. Only they could see it. This went back and forth. Land game.

He stayed stiffly by the table watching. There was no board placed on the table, but the two men sitting face to face had already said the position of their moves, as if there was a game going on that only the two of them could see. And thus they played back and forth.

As he waited in boredom, Meng Huan listened to the comments entering his ear from the servant of the other side.

“Little Young Master, this blind young master is really unlucky to have met my young lord. Nevermind anything else, as long as it is Weiqi, our young lord will win without doubt.” 40j3o5

Meng Huan turned his head. “Is that so?”

“Our son’s chess skills are rare in the capital. Master Kong Jie of the Crying Zen Temple in the east of the city is known as a national player. No one can match him in Go. But our son happened to beat him by half a few days ago, hehehe.”

“Our young lord’s playing ability makes it hard for him to find opponents of equal ground in the capital. The Kongjie Master from the Buddhist meditation hall east of the city was known as the grandmaster without anyone who could match him in Weiqi. Well, as it happened, our young lord beat the master by twice the number of pieces a few days ago, hehehe.”

Meng Huan began to feel a little nervous. “Really?” teMSyp

“Of course, Master Kong Jie’s Go is the benchmark in our community. He has studied Go for decades. He has been meditating on a single game for three months. Anyone who is obsessed with chess will have a lifelong dream to defeat him.” The man smiled and twirled his beard, “But in the past ten years, only two people have beaten him.”

“Of course, Kongjie Master’s skill in Weiqi is the benchmark for our Zong Dynasty. He has been studying the art of Weiqi for decades and a single game takes him three months of hard thinking to decide. Anyone who is obsessed with Weiqi has a lifelong dream of defeating him.” The servant smiled and twirled his beard. “But now, in the last decades, only two people have defeated him.”

Meng Huan didn’t understand the game. Lin Bozhou’s face was half hidden in shadows and he pursed his thin lips slightly.

The talented opponent on the opposite side frowned, and seemed to be thinking. U7lp8s

Meng Huan turned to the servant and asked, “Who are the two that defeated him?”

The guest scholar smiled. “Hehe, one of them is our young lord, of course. And as for the other one—”

Meng Huan stared at him with wide eyes. “And the other one is?”

The guest scholar spoke with a very low voice. “It was six years ago, the one who just transferred from Guzhou to the capital and had only recently reached his coming of age, the Prince Regent!” 2AY53C

“!”

Meng Huan’s eyes widened even more as he exclaimed, “Really!!!???”

Chrysanthemum Garden.

The scholar said, “Exactly! So, this blind young man can’t be called unskilled, he’s just unlucky—”

Just as he said that― MKtzN6

There was the sound of clothing rustling against the back of a chair behind Meng Huan. Then, the wind blew, carrying a faint scent of sandalwood.

Lin Bozhou’s gentle and calm voice rode with the wind.

“Huan Huan, we can sit at the bow of the boat now.”

The author has something to say: 9wGlBK

The Prince Regent: Another fulfilling day of work for my wife—

Huan: While hubby is fighting outside, I am resting behind him, ^v^, yay~

Alright, it is almost time to pop the bottle!
