fuheidage TAGOQT September 2, 2018 6 Minutes

“Assistant minister Ye, what do you think?” Ye Huaijin stood next the crowd of men when a loud voice came to his ear .

At the age of 19, Ye Huaijin was already at the third level of studies 1 . Finally, he became the top scorer at the imperial examination and got himself a place as a small assistant minister in the imperial court .

The person who spoke was the second young master of General Bai’s mansion . He now held a position in the barracks . He was the commander of thousand of people from thousand different households . Therefore, people called him Bai Qianhu2 . He was also Bai Zhenzhen’s second brother(‘ge’) .

“Second Miss Bai just created an incomparable piece of poetry, and I am looking forward to her next performance . ” Ye Huaijin said unhurriedly .

Hearing his words, Bai Qianhu sneered and looked towards the pavilion .

He was Bai Zhenzhen’s second brother, and he was also a military man . He heard that his little sister’s fiancée, the third prince, openly broke their engagment and therefore let his meimei become the laughing stock of Jingcheng . He(third prince) even saved Ye Shaohua at the horse race track . Therefore, Bai Qianhu couldn’t wait to kill the third prince .

However, after all, he was just a regular subordinate of the emperor, and he did not dare to offend his superior .

He just looked at the third prince deeply . Others didn’t know, but, as Bai Zhenzhen’s brother, he knew . Three days ago, Bai Zhenzhen showed them a Go composition 3 . The godly elderly Go master couldn’t solve it, and even came to Jingchen to see and ask Bai Zhenzhen about it .

The people in Jingchen may not be clear about it, but he, this person mingling in the world of traveling merchant knew . This godly master was a famous person . Once, the country’s third emperor sent someone to ask him to become a master teacher or advisor of the emperor, but they couldn’t even see this godly master .

But now, this godly master actually came to the capital because of a Go composition made by his meimei . What ‘most talented woman of Jingchen’? His meimei, if the people of Jingchen knew about her(BZZ), he would make this group of people’s precious treasure(SH) kneel down in front of their widened eyes!

Especially the third prince, who made his sister become the laughing stock of the whole capital, he would immediately regret his actions and know what kind of amazing person he lost .

The third prince felt very strange . In the past, Bai Zhenzhen’s eyes could not stop looking at his eyes, but now she didn’t even look at him . Moreover, she stopped putting heavy make-up on her face and wore a full-body light yellow dress, which made her more distinct among the numerous female guests .

At this thought, the third prince had a strange feeling in his heart, and his eyes could not help but look towards Bai Zhenzhen .

What everyone here didn’t know was that there were several figures in the attic not far away . Standing in the group was the bright yellow figure of the emperor .

“Teacher godly master, what do you think about this go game?” The emperor of this dynasty had invited this godly master to become a teacher in the past . He was especially respectful of this person known in all corners of the country . Now that he knew that he came for Bai Zhenzhen, his heart became more interested in the Bai family .

The godly master had no hobby besides Go in his life . That’s why he broke his oath to never go to Jingchen in order to see Bai Zhenzhen’s composition .

When he heard the emperor’s words, he looked at the situation underneath . “I, this old man, only wants to see what kind of strange Go composition can be made by this second Miss Bai . ”

His tone held no doubt towards Bai Zhenzhen capabilities .

This sentence, let the hearts of the emperor’s trusted aides and ministers start hatching plans . It seemed that this second Miss of Bai family meant serious business .

Wasn’t the second Miss of the Bai family rumored to be clueless about the the four arts4?

“Old Three, this child, really made an error of judgement this time . ” The emperor glanced at the third prince’s position, his eyes deep .

No one dared to answer his sentence .

The godly master looked at the two players strangely and said :” Second Miss Bai has such exquisite Go skills, so why did I hear that Miss Ye is the most talented woman of Jingchen?”

It’s just that this most talented woman had some bad luck . If she had met someone else it would have been alright, but she met second Miss Bai .

There were too many people paying attention to this game of Go . Ye Shaohua had always been the most talented woman . Her profeciency in the four arts were all top-notch, and even the teachers of the academy of classical learning all conceded defeat to her .

In contrast, Bai Zhenzhen was the famous straw bag of Bai family .

The onlookers were waiting to see Bai Zhenzhen make a joke of herself .

Bai Zhenzhen naturally felt the atmosphere around her . Originally, she just wanted to beat Ye Shaohua, but now that everyone looked at her like she was a joke, she not only had to beat her, she had to pay back Ye Shaohua and win everyone’s good feeling until everyone was convinced of her worth!

She was a modern transmigrator, and there were countless famous Go compositions from modern time in her mind . She made her decision and laid out one of the top ten hardest composition .

This composition had no solution in ancient times . She didn’t know much about it herself . It was only just before she crossed over that a girl talented in Go solved it so Bai Zhenzhen naturally remembered it .

“I heard that Miss Ye had even the teachers of the academy of classical learning bow down to her, so, please go first . ” Bai Zhenzhen gave a small smile .

“Meimei, you don’t know, second Miss Ye is the most talented woman of Jingchen . The prince gave her this title!” Bai Qianhu seemed to be praising Ye Shaohua, but he was only using this as an opportunity to mock her .

His Meimei was praised by the godly master . In the end, the most talented woman who was hand-picked by the prince would lose to a straw bag . What do you say, isn’t it funny?

Ye Shaohua fixed the board and just started playing Go seriously . She didn’t know how to play Go, but —— the system had just rewarded her with master level Go skill, there were countless Go compositions in her brain . Even if the transmigrated Bai Zhenzhen had skills, it was still not as good as hers by far .

At the beginning, Bai Zhenzhen was still very leisurely . After five minutes, she put away her attitude of ‘underestimating the enemy’, and there was also a sweat forming on her forehead . Restless, she began to shift in her sit .

Underestimating the enemy was the most taboo attitude for Go players . It could be seen from this appearance that Bai Zhenzhen was at a disadvantage .

In contrast, Ye Shaohua was still calm .

Bai Qianhu, who rejoiced in Ye Shaohua’s misfortune before and couldn’t help looking at her with ridicule in his eyes, now looked conscientiously at the Go board .

If Bai Zhenzhen had kept playing Go keeping to the working routine, she would still be not bad . However she wanted to step on Ye Shaohua, pay her back and make her(BZZ) name known . Therefore, she used an endgame composition .

If this composition was placed in front of any person on this scene, Bai Zhenzhen may have been successful, but unfortunately, she was seeking instant benefit, and the opponent she encountered was Ye Shaohua .

Even more unfortunately, Ye Shaohua’s last reward was Go skills .

Ye Shaohua held her chin in one hand and a black stone in the other hand .

Bai Zhenzhen had to admit that this talented woman was really not simple . She closed her eyes and thought about the final state of the go board . Then she quickly moved and sprang up . “You lost! It seems that the legendary most talented woman is just this much !”

This composition had been formed, and ancient people can’t resolve it .

After Bai Zhenzhen’s words were finished, Ye Shaohua leaned on one side a little, then “pa” let down her last stone . She raised an eyebrow, looked at Bai Zhenzhen and chuckled . “Oh... can you look again?”

1 . 叶怀瑾19岁就连中小三元 I am not really sure if he was at third place or if it’s third level of studies . Maybe I completely didn’t get the meaning of the sentence . . Sorry, can somebody help me ? m(_ _)m

2 . Quianhu means thousand households

3 . A composition is when you purposefully put the game pieces(stones in Go) in a certain arrangement and you challenge people to unlock the arrangement and let the game progress further . The goal is to solve the problem on the board . (I think)

4 . zither, Go, calligraphy, painting
