Chapter 444

When Pang finished his song, the applause in the wing room rang out again, which was better than that of Lin Manxue for the first time.

Lin Manxue took out a jade flute from the big box and put it on the table together, saying:

"old man, after listening to your elegant music, man Xue has benefited a lot. It is said that you are about to celebrate your 70th birthday, and now it is approaching the Spring Festival. It's double happiness. Man Xue doesn't bring any new year gifts and birthday gifts. This jade flute and this Guqin are the birthday gifts and New Year gifts that man Xue gives you, It's said that a good saddle matches a good horse, a sword is given to a hero, and please accept it. "

"This can't be used, can't be used -" Mr. Pang waved back.

Lin Manxue respectfully said:

"the old man personally teaches man Xue calligraphy and piano skills, and is her teacher. Man Xue pays a new year's birthday to her teacher on the occasion of the new year and her teacher's birthday. If the teacher refuses to accept it, she feels that man Xue is stupid and unworthy of being your student."

The old man likes Lin Manxue very much, and he is not a pedantic person. He stroked his beard and said with a smile:

"what a sharp mouth, the old man can't say you. OK, I'll take your heart, old man

The old man still wants to compete with Lin Manxue for other musical instruments. Lin Manxue says with some apology:

"old man, man Xue also wants to stay with you to play the piano and flute and listen to your instruction. However, we have a task with us this time. We are pressed for time. We really can't afford to delay. So we'll say goodbye and come down the mountain to accompany you another day."

I secretly give Lin Manxue a big praise in my heart. It's a good way to play hard to get. When Mr. Pang's interest is strong, I stop. Isn't it going to kill him.

This is the same as the circle fork, when the other party can't stop, suddenly stop the fire supply, let people not up and down, can she promise?

When the old man heard that we were going down the mountain, he was disappointed. He certainly didn't want us to go so fast, but he knew our difficulties.

I have just explained our intention. To complete a major project before the new year, we need to recruit people. Now it's less than ten days before the new year, so we can't afford to delay it.

The old man tangled for a while, stroked his beard, thought about it and said:

"Miss Lin, Miss Yu, don't hurry down the mountain. I can't promise you anything right now until I understand something. In this way, let's sit down and talk. I won't delay you for long. Can I make a decision after I have a thorough understanding of the situation? "

I and Liman snow see this has a turn for the better, heart immediately relieved.

We didn't really want to leave just now. We just made a move to retreat. If the old man doesn't give us a step down, we really don't know what to do next.

The old man asked if it was all right, and quickly removed the word "Ma". As long as he is willing to sit down and talk with us, I can't wait.

Lin Manxue said with a smile: "old man, just sitting and chatting is a waste of time. How about we play chess and chat at the same time?"

The old man said happily: "ha ha, Miss Lin, you still know me, old man. OK, Yi'er, move the chess table here."

The boy named Yi'er left and soon moved a chess table.

This is a square table made of solid wood. A chessboard is carved on it. A pair of stone pieces are placed on the chessboard, and each piece is carved with a large amount of pebbles.

These pebbles are similar in shape and size, and have a certain artistic flavor. They are really a cultural person. What they like is that they are different from others.

I took the piece in my hand and weighed it. A piece is about 100g, which is not light.

The old man asked with a smile: "girl, do you hold the red or the black?"

Lin Manxue said: "old man, I don't know much about chess, but I have a master around me. Be careful."

Lin Manxue pushed me and pushed me to the chess table like this. I really can't laugh or cry.

She's not a real girl. I've never played chess with her or told her about my level of chess. She helps me brag first. If I lose miserably, won't I lose face?

Fortunately, I used to compete with my grandfather and other grandfathers. I can't guarantee the level of chess, but I still have the general level.

At least when I played with my grandfather, they were equally matched. They won and lost each other. I believe my level is not too bad to lose.

There are four big words in the middle of the chessboard: "no regret at all". In fact, playing chess is playing life. Life is like chess. No regret at all. How similar is it, right.

The old man holds the red one. I'll take the black one. We'll set up the pieces for war.

There is naturally a question of who goes first and who goes later in the opening game. Traditional Chinese chess has a saying that "red is not the first" or "red is not the first". Therefore, black chess goes first, and there is a tradition of comity. Generally, the elder gives way to the younger, and the higher level gives way to the lower level.

Playing chess is a game. It has both platoon and psychological tactics. It pays attention to adaptability and observation. It also tests a person's patience. It has always been said that the river is one-third wide and resourceful.The real chess players are all in the balance of attack and defense. On the basis of the balance of attack and defense, I tend to advance boldly and attack more than defense. However, the old man plays steadily and makes progress. Therefore, we are hard to separate. The first game of chess has been played for more than an hour and we haven't won.

The old man said, "it's rare for young people to have such chess skills as you. Even if you compare with the ordinary professional players, you are not so bad."

"You flatter me, sir."

In the first inning, I drew with the old man. He couldn't beat me and I couldn't beat him. I played two more games with the old man. I drew and lost.

After three games like this, I drew twice and lost a little.

The old man has seen that I have put some water in the third inning. After all, he is an elder. I'm sorry not to let him win. The old man said: "the quality of chess and piano is like character. I don't think Miss Lin and your younger generation are ordinary people. They have good conduct. They should not be the kind of people that others say."

Lin Manxue and I both looked at Mr. Pang suspiciously, because we didn't understand what Mr. Pang meant, and there seemed to be some misunderstanding.

Mr. Pang began to explain the reason:

"two days ago, the elder of he family in hejialing came to visit me. He has been living outside all these years and seldom came back. This year, he just came back to visit his family. We chatted about the situation outside. He told me that in the winter of last year, he took a group of workers to work for a big company in Shencheng day and night. After the completion of the project, the wages were always in arrears. He asked for a year and didn't come. "

"A few days ago, he took someone to ask for a salary and was beaten by the security guard of the other company. He lay in the hospital for half a month before he was discharged. When he came to see me, he still had a bandage on his forehead. He said that he had never been to any place in the past 20 years. He was the only one who had worked in three projects in Shencheng and suffered three losses. He said that he never wanted to go to that place again in his whole life. "

Lin Manxue and I reacted at this time. No wonder at the beginning, as soon as we said that Mr. Pang came from Shencheng, he refused us directly. It was for this reason.
