Flowers in full bloom

Chapter 281 Pleasant

The two started the game, and after a quarter of an hour, Hua Lei was happy. Hey, he came up aggressively, and I thought he was a powerful one, but it turned out that he was on the same level as Zhao Yulan. Silver, come on, this time it is doubled to ten taels of silver, Hua Lei welcomes you.

Therefore, Hualei's moves became even more fierce. In less than half an hour, the black spots on the opposite side were scattered all over again. After getting the ten taels of silver, Hualei raised the corners of his mouth slightly, stuffed the silver into his sleeve pocket, and went to enjoy the friendship with his companions.

This time, Hua Lei did not stand up from her seat. No matter what, she had to fight for three rounds. Why bother? Sure enough, another lady in a purple dress sat opposite her. The referee asked, "Oh, it's another girl named Zhao, Zhao Yulan's cousin, Zhao Yujiao."

Did I stir up a hornet's nest in the Zhao family today? Are all my cousins ​​on the field? But it doesn't matter. I am here to complete the three-game mission. It's better that you come so quickly, so that I don't have to sit here and wait for my opponent, wasting time.

So, the game began again.

At this moment, Bai Yunhe's heart was filled with joy. Hahahaha, Hua Lei's style of chess was really to his liking. Many young ladies from aristocratic families in the capital city could not adapt to Hua Lei's bold and aggressive style of chess. These young ladies were always dignified in what they did. They believed in the strategy of using courtesy before force. Even if they were feeling very complicated, they would still be polite and say a few nice words first.

Facing Miss Hua, who was so direct and decisive in killing and didn't play by the rules, she suppressed her opponent's momentum right from the start, so she lost so quickly. I must find an opportunity to play a good game with Hua Lei, even if I lose, I will be happy.

Gui Jingan leaned forward, silent, but in his heart he was evaluating the skills of both sides. Miss Hua should be able to win, but it won't be as easy as the first two games. Miss Zhao Yujiao is much better than her cousin.

Rong Jin, who was standing aside, was no longer worried at all. Sister Hua's chess style was very similar to that of her elder sister Ruyi, who was bold and resourceful. Back then, her elder sister's chess skills, which allowed her to attack or defend, had defeated a group of noble ladies in the capital.

But Sister Hua's chess style is more fierce and her strategies are more cunning, so Sister Hua will never lose. Even if the person sitting opposite her is the fifth place winner of the chess competition in last year's osmanthus appreciation event, Sister Hua will never lose. If Sister Hua is willing, she is likely to win first place this year. Rong Jin is very sure in his heart.

These young ladies from aristocratic families usually spend their days appreciating flowers, playing chess, and spending their days leisurely. Although they sometimes play chess against each other to discuss winning or losing, they are always neither anxious nor slow at that time, thinking about it from left to right, holding a chess piece and thinking for a long time. However, the new rules this year have set a time limit for making moves, and these young ladies find it difficult to adapt all of a sudden. When encountering a chess style like that of Hua Meime, the chances of winning are even smaller.

Sure enough, a quarter of an hour later, Zhao Yujiao's brows began to frown. She stood by and watched Hua Lei and her two younger sisters play two games. She had a general understanding of Hua Lei's chess style.

Therefore, she did not give Hua Lei any chance when she started, and she also used a bold and aggressive style of play, thinking that the first move would be the strongest, and the last move would suffer. She changed her chess style, using speed to counter speed, and cut off Hua Lei's momentum. Moreover, her strength was much higher than that of her cousin Zhao Yulan, so she was very confident that she would not lose.

At the beginning, Hualei had indeed blocked several of his own holes, and had raised a dozen or so white pieces. On his left hand side, the black pieces had firmly occupied a large area. However, this was the only area that belonged to him. On the current chessboard, the white pieces occupied two other areas. From the perspective of the chessboard, the white pieces still had the upper hand, although others might not be able to feel it yet.

But I already feel that I am restricted everywhere. Because no matter where I place my move, there are always one or two dazzling white pieces lazily standing there, waiting for me to take advantage of them.

What was going on? How come she had only just discovered this tactic of luring the enemy in and attacking from the east while making a feint to the west? Zhao Yujiao was a little dumbfounded, but she was also quite capable. She immediately stopped fighting with Hua Lei and placed a piece directly on the left side of Hua Lei, in a blank corner of the chessboard.

She thought Hua Lei would first fill in the pieces to consolidate the two territories she occupied. Unexpectedly, when Hua Lei saw that she had placed a piece in the empty territory, she immediately placed a white piece next to her black piece, without caring whether the territory she occupied was stable or not.

So, the two started a new round of battle between the Golden Horn and the Silver Edge. Unfortunately, the Golden Horn, which he thought was sure to win, was still dug away by Hualei, and he only occupied a small piece of the Silver Edge territory.

Hualei looked at the chessboard. Well, it was almost done. She definitely couldn't grab the opponent's left-hand side, so she just gave up. The black and white pieces on her left-hand side were evenly matched. She might have occupied Jinjiao's territory and had a slight advantage, but there was no place to put the pieces, so it was okay.

So, Hualei checked the other two areas where the white pieces had already taken advantage, and added a few more white pieces to the areas that could be revitalized by the black pieces. Although the opponent was not giving up, he placed a few more black pieces next to his white pieces in an attempt to revitalize them. However, it was not a big problem. He spent some time chasing and intercepting them, and finally drove all the black pieces out of his territory.

The game ended, and it looked much better than the first two games, at least it wasn't one-sided. However, anyone with a discerning eye could tell that there was no need to count the pieces to determine the winner, and the referee directly awarded the white piece the victory. In this way, Hua Lei was forced to play three games, but she finished the game with three wins.

Holding the newly acquired silver ingots, Hua Lei stood up. She rejected the round card that the referee, Mr. Li, wanted to directly enter the finals, and left the court. In addition to receiving the doubled 20 taels of silver ingots in the last round, Hua Lei also received several small prizes of her own meat floss.

She distributed the meat floss to Rong Jue, Yun Hai and others beside her, and put the silver ingots back into her sleeve pockets. In order to look good today, she did not carry her cloth bag, so Hua Lei's two sleeve pockets were heavy.

After careful calculation, she earned ten taels from calligraphy and thirty-five taels from chess. Hualei was very happy. As for the Zhao sisters' part-time jobs, she didn't care. It was better for her not to join in the fun. As long as she wasn't the one who made a fool of herself, it was fine.

Bai Yunhe looked at Hualei's heavy sleeves, raised the corners of his mouth, patted Rong Jue with his fan, and said.
