Go around from the side of the courtyard to the rear of the courtyard.

There is a pavilion not far away, which looks very ancient.

It should have been built for a long time.

There were three old men in the pavilion, two of whom seemed to be playing chess and the other was watching.

One of the two old men who played chess was the old man who fished last time.

Of course, it's Xu Wenchang.

Wang Ling smiled and said, "Let's go over and take a look."

Li Youran and Tang Kuan nodded.

When the three were about to enter the pavilion, three old men in the pavilion saw three people.

Xu Wenchang recognized the three of them and was a little surprised.

Then smile and nodded.

Wang Ling, Li Youran, and Tang Kuan all bowed slightly and said, "Master Xu."

Xu Wenchang waved his hand and said, "I am a little older, and now I am old. Just call me Mr. Xu."

Xu Wenchang claimed to be a dying person, and he was indeed seventy years old, but he was in good spirits and looked only over 60 years old.

Wang Ling, Li Youran and Tang Kuan changed their words to "Lao Xu".

At the same time, hello to the other two old men.

These two old men should be local farmers nearby.

They obviously knew Xu Wenchang's identity, because there was no strange expression on their faces at this time.

The two old men smiled and responded, "Hello!"

Then, through Xu Wenchang's introduction, the two old men were indeed nearby farmers.

After Xu Wenchang came to live here, he gradually became familiar with the two of them.

Now, the relationship between the three people can be said to be very good.

Xu Wenchang asked Wang Ling, Li Youran, and Tang Kuan, "Do you three mind if we finish this game?"

The three people quickly said, "Please give me some advice."

Xu Wenchang nodded and said, "Thank you."

Then, continue playing chess.

Li Youran, Wang Ling and Tang Kuan also surrounded him and watched.

All three of them know chess.

Li Youran's chess skills are average. I wonder how Wang Ling and Tang Kuan are doing?

It should be better than yourself.

As for Xu Wenchang and the old man’s chess skills... Li Youran observed it and came up with the answer. It should be that Xu Wenchang’s chess skills are better.

Because on the chessboard now, the situation on Xu Wenchang's side obviously has some advantages.

It is estimated that the winner will be decided in more than ten minutes at most.

Sure enough, about ten minutes later, Xu Wenchang formed a general "Just Horse" through a horse.

This is a general way to kill the other party.

The old man really couldn't save the chess anymore.

Declare defeat.

Li Youran laughed in her heart. It seemed that she was still very accurate in her view.

Xu Wenchang smiled and said, "Old Lin, your chess skills have not made obvious progress!"

The old man surnamed Lin said, "I just had a careless move and didn't think it through. I just made the wrong move. If I didn't make the wrong move, it would be not certain who lost and who won. In the next game, I should have won. However, now that you have guests, I won't be able to play for the time being. Old Man Liu and I left first. Let's play tomorrow."

The old man was obviously not convinced.

Xu Wenchang smiled and said, "The result will be the same if you add it tomorrow. If that happens, we add it tomorrow."

The old man named Lin nodded, and then said goodbye with another old man and left.

Then, Xu Wenchang invited Li Youran and the other two to sit at home.

Several people walked towards the courtyard.

On the way, Xu Wenchang asked Tang Kuan for his name.

Tang Kuan quickly said excitedly.

After hearing this, Xu Wenchang said that he knew Tang Kuan’s medicine shop. This made Tang Kuan even more excited.

As for Li Youran, Xu Wenchang said: "I have heard of many skills of Youran. Your future is limitless!"

Li Youran was humble quickly.

The four of them chatted all the way and soon arrived at Xu Wenchang's courtyard.

Entering from the main room, Xu Wenchang brewed four cups of tea.

Continue to chat.

Two hours later, it was already late.

Li Youran, Wang Ling and Tang Kuan offered to say goodbye.

Xu Wen nodded, then went to the inner room to take out a scroll and said to Li Youran: "This painting was written not long ago. I'll give it to my friend as a souvenir."

Li Youran, Wang Ling and Tang Kuan were all shocked.

I never expected that Xu Wenchang would give the painting to others.

Wang Ling and Tang Kuan were both very envious after being frightened.

Xu Wenchang's paintings are very expensive.

In addition, it is now given by Xu Wenchang personally, which has another extraordinary significance.

Then, Xu Wenchang said that this was a work completed not long ago.

Is this the painting?

Li Youran's heart moved and slowly unfolded the painting.

really.

I saw that there was drizzling drizzle in the sky on the picture, and a huge lake seemed to be shrouded in a layer of smoke.

In the distance, the mountains are hazy and a few big white birds are flying in front of the mountain.

Nearby, peach blossoms are in full bloom.

On a bamboo raft, a fisherman wearing a straw hat and a straw raincoat was fishing.

On the shore of the lake, there were three people, one young man, and the other two were older.

The three people looked in the direction of the fisherman.

Then I also wrote a poem:

"The egrets fly in front of Xisai Mountain, and the peach blossoms flow in the water are fat.

Green bamboo hat, green straw raincoat, no need to return in a slanting wind and drizzle."

It was the painting that Li Youran saw last time in Cuiyou Valley, Tianjing City.

However, that painting is a copy.

This painting is the original manuscript drawn by Xu Wenchang himself.

The whole painting has extremely high artistic value and is far from comparable to that of the copying work.

Xu Wenchang actually wants to give this painting to himself?

Li Youran was very excited.

Of course I really wanted it. But this painting is too expensive, and Li Youran was a little afraid to ask for it!

Wang Ling and Tang Kuan were also quite surprised when they saw the content of the picture.

Of course they could see at a glance that this was the last time they saw Xu Wen’s long-term scene by the lake.

It turned out that Xu Wenchang drew the scene at that time.

This painting undoubtedly has a special meaning for the three people.

Xu Wenchang now wants to give this painting to Li Youran.

Wang Ling and Tang Kuan were even more envious.

Li Youran struggled for a moment, then said, "Old Xu, this painting is too expensive. I'm afraid it's..."
