Open business day-to-day

Chapter 277 Yuelu Academy
Lin Rui did as soon as he thought of it. He checked the time at four o'clock in the afternoon, and dialed Zhang Jingxian directly.

Over there, Zhang Jingxian heard the phone ring, picked it up and saw that it was Lin Rui calling, and hesitated whether to answer it.

Some anticipation and some fear, entangled for a long time, finally connected.

Lin Rui: "Sister Jingxian, what are you doing!"

Hearing such an intimate address, Zhang Jingxian blushed slightly, and retorted in a low voice: "Who is your sister, how can you call her like that!"

Lin Rui smiled and said, "You don't seem to be older than me, do you want me to call you Miss Jingxian!"

Zhang Jingxian pouted, becoming even more shy.

"They have it there, who told you to call it that!"

Lin Rui made a look of sudden realization and said, "Well, why don't I call you Jingxian! Okay, sister Jingxian."

Zhang Jingxian's cheeks bulged, and she just wanted to refute, but she didn't know where to say it.

Lin Rui changed the subject and said, "Jingxian, didn't you and Professor Fan come to participate in the calligraphy and painting competition together? How are you doing now!"

Zhang Jingxian stopped dwelling on the topic just now, thought for a while and said: "The competition will officially start tomorrow, I just signed up today, and Professor Fan is having a meeting with other judges!"

Lin Rui said, "Then what are you doing?"

Zhang Jingxian: "I'm practicing painting in my room!"

Lin Rui suggested: "Star City is a famous tourist city, with many places of interest and scenic spots, how boring it is to stay in the room, let me go shopping with you later!"

Zhang Jingxian hesitated and said, "I still have to practice painting, and I will have a competition tomorrow!"

Lin Rui persuaded: "Sister Jingxian is a talented and beautiful girl painter, so the competition will definitely be fine. If you don't go shopping today, you will have no time to start the competition tomorrow."

Hearing the silence on the other side, Lin Rui continued to seduce: "There are many tourist attractions and places of interest in Star City, and there are many places worth seeing."

"We can go to Furong Country to see the north of the Xiangjiang River; Yuelu Academy, to taste the depth of a thousand years; Juzizhoutou, to see the elegance of poetry; the hometown of Shaoshan, to pay tribute to the footprints of great men..."

Zhang Jingxian hesitated: "But..."

Lin Rui directly said in a strong tone: "Don't worry, you wait for me at the hotel, and I will go find you now!"

Zhang Jingxian faltered for a long time, but finally did not say any words of rejection.

Lin Rui didn't hesitate, he tidied up casually, he was still in the Bentley of the hotel, and drove to the hotel where Zhang Jingxian was staying.

The distance is not far, the hotel is near Hunan University, and it takes about [-] minutes to get there.

Zhang Jingxian was afraid that Lin Rui would go directly to the hotel room to find her. Thinking about staying in the hotel room with him alone, she was scared and shy, so she could only leave the hotel in advance and wait.

Lin Rui met Zhang Jingxian who was blushing on the side of the road, and was slightly surprised. She didn't expect her to be so active, but she didn't expect her to be afraid.

Then I started to discuss where to go. There are still many scenic spots worth seeing in Star City, such as Yuelu Mountain, Juzizhou, Window of the World, Mawangdui Han Tomb, Du Fujiang Pavilion, etc., are all worth visiting!
In the end, Zhang Jingxian plucked up the courage to suggest: "Why don't we go to Yuelu Mountain? I heard that there are many places of interest and historical sites, and it is also close to here. Hunan University is at the foot of Yuelu Mountain, and Yuelu Academy, where we competed, is also there. .”

Lin Rui agreed after thinking about it. When the car restarted, it was really close enough. After driving less than two kilometers, it arrived at the foot of Yuelu Mountain.

There are two gates in Yuelu Mountain, the east gate and the south gate. You can take the cableway or walk when you go inside to visit and play.

The entrance and exit of the cableway are all at the east gate. If you don’t have much time to play and just come to check in, you can choose the cableway.But many attractions will be missed, because most of the attractions are concentrated in the south gate.

If you want to save energy and want to see the scenery, you can choose to take the cableway from the east gate, and then walk to the south gate, so as not to delay enjoying the scenery along the way.

Lin Rui and Zhang Jingxian were just walking around at random, they didn't specialize in tourism, so of course they wouldn't take the ropeway.

The two got off the car at the south gate, looked around, and saw Hunan University at the foot of the mountain at first glance.

Hunan University is not the same as other universities. It has no walls and is open. You can visit it at will, and it has a strong literary and artistic atmosphere.

There were many snack sellers around, and seeing Zhang Jingxian's bright eyes, she didn't expect to be a snack shop, so Lin Rui took her to eat from beginning to end, and finally took a lot in his hand.

Walking up while eating, I didn’t walk far and came across the legendary Aiwan Pavilion, “Stop and sit in the Aiwan Forest, the frost leaves are as red as the flowers in February”, now it’s late autumn, the mountains are full of maple leaves, and the scenery is beautiful Extremely.

Not only did Zhang Jingxian's eyes shine brightly, but even Lin Rui was a little intoxicated.

Yuelu Academy is also nearby, and you need to buy tickets to enter.There are discounts for student ID cards, students of Hunan University can get free tickets, happy!

There are lush trees on the mountain, and ancient and famous trees can be seen everywhere. There are not only Lushan Temple, a thousand-year-old temple, but also Yunlu Palace, a Taoist temple.

The two wandered around casually, going wherever they were curious, and finally bought a ticket and entered Yuelu Academy.

As one of the oldest surviving academies in the world, Yuelu Academy has been established more than 1000 years ago, and has a continuous stream of songs and learning.From the reconstruction of the Song Dynasty to the period of the Republic of China, many emperors and scholars donated books and gave lectures for the Academy.

Yuelu Academy is located in the back mountain of Hunan University. Because it is backed by Yuelu Mountain, there are lush trees, flowers and plants, fresh air and lush greenery in Yuelu Academy.

The two walked around the antique building complex, there were quite a lot of people inside, and there were quite a few students around their age.

As I was walking, I suddenly found that under the shade of a tree in front of me, there was a chess stand in front of an old man, and a middle-aged man on the opposite side was standing up and leaving dejectedly. There were still some calligraphy and paintings on the ground next to him.

Is this a stall?Lin Rui wondered, can there be a stall in Yuelu Academy?Of course no one answered the question.

On the other hand, Zhang Jingxian, who was beside her, saw those calligraphy and paintings, and suddenly her eyes lit up and she walked over.

Lin Rui could only follow suit. Although he couldn't compare Zhang Jingxian's love for calligraphy and painting, after all, he was also studying hard recently, which was considered a great hobby.

When I walked up to have a look, several paintings were very new, as if they had just been painted.The iron hook silver painting is vigorous and powerful, the layout is layered, and the artistic conception is profound. With Lin Rui's half-baked level, these paintings can beat him by a few blocks.

Zhang Jingxian next to her also had bright eyes, she immediately picked it up and looked at it carefully.

Lin Rui also stood by and admired for a while, looking at the old man who was sitting there, concentrating on studying chess, and asked softly: "Old man, do you sell this painting?"

The old man sat there without moving, still staring at the chess in front of him.

Lin Rui thought he didn't hear it, so he raised his voice and asked, "Mr., do you sell this painting?"

Then the old man withdrew his gaze from the chess game, glanced at Lin Rui casually, didn't care at all, and waved his hand: "Run and play!"

Being so ignored made Lin Rui feel a little angry, but there was nothing he could do. Apart from his bad attitude, he didn't seem to have done anything wrong, and you couldn't beat him or scold him.

Just as she was about to take Zhang Jingxian to another place for a stroll, the system suddenly came out.

System: "There is someone nearby who is very confident in his chess level, and he hasn't lost a single game during this time..."

Lin Rui looked around, except for the chess stand in front of him, no one was really playing chess anywhere else.

Could it be that the task of the system is to let myself play two sets with this old man, win him a few rounds, and blow his arrogance.

It's just that although I can play chess, my level is very average. How can I win!
Lin Rui was thinking about whether to forget it, give up this mission, anyway, there is nothing to lose.

Suddenly my heart moved, I thought of something, and took out my phone.Open the app store and search for Chess directly.

Although 3G has just begun to become popular, there are already a lot of smart phone users in China, and there are also a lot of dedicated development teams, and there are already a lot of APP resources on it.

Following the search, there were seven or eight chess apps. Lin Rui looked through them, chose the one with the best reviews and the most downloads, and clicked to download.

The 3G signal coverage of Yuelu Academy is good, and a small software of a few megabytes can be downloaded and installed in less than a minute.

Lin Rui flipped through it randomly, and there were several modes to choose from, easy mode, normal mode, hard mode, and ultimate mode.

Obviously the ultimate mode is the highest difficulty of this software.

Lin Rui directly chose the ultimate mode and became familiar with the operation.

Then he took Zhang Jingxian's smooth white hand next to him, and said very pretentiously: "Let's go, sister Jingxian, what's so interesting about this, there is only a stinky chess basket."

Zhang Jingxian froze for a moment, feeling that Lin Rui was inexplicable and was about to say something.

The old man who had been staring at the study of chess seemed to realize that Lin Rui was talking about him.

Finally raised his head again, glanced at Lin Rui, his tone was not very good, some bearded and stared: "Can you, little classmate, talk? Who is the stinky chess player? Can you play chess?"

Lin Rui's expression was indifferent, and his tone was slightly neutral: "So-so, I should be better than you."

The old man seemed a little annoyed and laughed: "Little classmate, you are not very old, but you have a big tone!"

Lin Rui shrugged and said, "What's the matter? Are you still a master!"

The old man got really angry, pointed to the chess stand in front of him and said, "Come on, you are so loud, let's play two games and let me see your level."

Lin Rui didn't sit down immediately, but said, "We don't have much time, and we still have to go shopping in other places. How can we waste so much free time? So what can you do if you win, and there is no big prize."

Seeing that Lin Rui said lightly that he could win him, the old man became angry, and snorted, "You will win, what a joke, what kind of prize do you want!"

Lin Rui pointed to the paintings and calligraphy next to him and said, "If I win, let my sister Jingxian choose a random pair and take it away."

Zhang Jingxian was a little baffled, she didn't know why she had something to do with her again, but she really appreciated these calligraphy and paintings.

The old man didn't care at all, waved his hand, and said with a "hum": "As long as you can win, choose whatever you want."

So Lin Rui held the phone in one hand, as if fiddling with it casually, and sat opposite the old man to start playing chess.

The old man originally wanted Lin Rui to go first to show his generosity, but Lin Rui refused and had to let him go first.

The old man felt contemptuous and a little angry.

So he stopped being polite and fired directly, and Lin Rui immediately started a new round on his mobile phone, and started to shoot according to the old man's position.

The side on the mobile phone software started to mount the horse directly, and Lin Rui also started to mount the horse at the chess stand in front of him according to the position on the software.

The old man started to die, and Lin Rui immediately performed the same operation on the mobile phone software.

At first, the old man didn't care too much, but as time went by, the old man's chess speed began to slow down, and his brows frowned.

Seeing that Lin Rui was still leisurely and contented, playing chess while not forgetting to play with his mobile phone with one hand, the old man's brows furrowed even deeper.

Smartphones have just entered the country these days, let alone the elderly, most of the young people have never touched them, let alone know how to play chess with a mobile phone.

Finally, after Lin Rui made another general, the old man was stunned for a while, his face was a little ugly, some couldn't believe it, but he did lose.

Seeing that he had won, Lin Rui was about to get up and tell Zhang Jingxian to choose a painting and leave.

The old man suddenly raised his head, and said to Lin Rui with a sullen face: "No, you don't count as a win. We can't just compete in one round, we win two out of three rounds, this is the first round."

Well, Lin Rui didn't want to argue with him either, and his subordinates saw the real trick.

So the two arranged the chess again, and Lin Rui also started a new game on the phone, still signaling the opponent to go first.

This time the old man's attitude was much more modest, and he no longer dared to be too arrogant. He was very cautious with every step, and walked very slowly, thinking for a long time about every step.

The two came and went for a long time.They were entangled together, and there was no winner or loser, and neither of them took much advantage.

You eat my horse, I eat your cannon, the two confronted each other, and it ended in a tie in the end.

Lin Rui was a little surprised. This was the most difficult ultimate mode to choose. He didn't expect the old man to be able to hold on to the wind and make a tie. His level was really extraordinary.

So the two started another round. If the old man could turn the tables and win this round, and the two would win, draw, and lose, today would be considered a real draw.

Obviously, the last game might have been the peak state of the old man. Although the old man was still so cautious in this round, taking one step and thinking about three steps, he finally lost and suddenly looked depressed.

The old man was very trustworthy, willing to admit defeat, and directly signaled Zhang Jingxian to choose a painting to take away.

Zhang Jingxian was a little hesitant, but with Lin Rui's encouragement and urging, and she really admired these paintings, she struggled for a while, and finally chose a pair.

Before the two left, taking advantage of Zhang Jingxian's inattention, Lin Rui took out his wallet and looked at it. He didn't have much cash, only a little over three thousand.

So he took out a few, and threw the remaining three thousand directly on the next painting.Although the painting is regarded as a win, I don't want to take it for nothing.

Although he didn't know how much this painting was worth, it was obviously a new painting, and the seal on it was not a work of a famous artist. Although the three thousand is not much, it is okay, because the quality of this painting is really very good For high sake.

The old man saw it, and just about to say something, Lin Rui waved his hand at him, took two quick steps to catch up with Zhang Jingxian, and disappeared as soon as he turned a corner.

The old man could only laugh at himself and put away the money.

……

After the two finished visiting Yuelu Academy, the sun was already setting, Zhang Jingxian looked a little scared, she didn't go shopping anyway, and wanted to go back to the hotel.

Lin Rui didn't stop her either, and accompanied her to choose a nice restaurant on the side of the road, had dinner, and then sent her back.

Before parting, Lin Rui went up to her and kissed her red cheek.Seeing her shy and angry look, he left with a smile.
