After New Year's Day, Da Sima's Mansion was indeed as General Jiang Wan said, with bustling streets and busy streets.

Feng Da Sima's disciples and former officials in Chang'an City, whoever had connections with him, would come to visit him.

That's all. Many ministers in the court also sent greetings.

In addition, all the new family members who had benefited from the Han Dynasty Reform were not left behind.

As in previous years, people with close relationships, even students in Tsing Yi and Cang Tou Ye Lao, can enter.

If the relationship is not in place, even if the clan relatives Liu Yan and Liu Junhou arrive, they can only go to the front hall and drink tea with Feng Da Sima's disciples.

Then when Da Sima is free after finishing his work, he may come over and sit for a while.

If you don’t have time, there’s nothing you can do!

Da Sima occupies a large area, so the front hall specially used for entertaining guests and banquets is also very large and long.

Some people sit so far away that they may not even be able to see clearly whether the person on the main seat in the inner hall is a man or a woman.

As for the remaining people, it was even worse. They only accepted greeting invitations, no gift orders, and were not even allowed to enter.

But this year, there was an exception.

In full public view, Shangshu Ling Fei Yi was personally welcomed into the Grand Sima's residence by Wei Rong, the eldest disciple of the Imperial Academy.

Even guests who can enter the front hall are not treated like this.

Even some people who have access to the backyard cannot meet this standard of treatment.

For example, Zhao Guang.

When the concierge saw him, he didn't even bother to talk to him.

Whenever he brought his wife over, he would always get into a lot of trouble with Mrs. Zuo.

As for the treatment like Fei Yi's, it is full of VIP treatment.

But...when did Fei Yi become a distinguished guest of the Da Sima Mansion?

Everyone standing outside the mansion was astonished.

"Sir, this disciple has brought Shangshu Ling over."

Da Sima's Mansion can run horses and enter the courtyard second. Da Sima and Mrs. Mei are playing chess.

There is a small stove next to the small table.

Water was boiling on the small stove, and white hot steam was puffing out.

Not far away, Mrs. Zuo and Mrs. Zhao Huang were competing in martial arts.

There was a clanging sound, weapons clashed, and sparks shot out from time to time.

It seems that the weapons are made of real materials and the blows are made with real force.

If you're not careful, you might get seriously injured.

Further away, Zhao Sanqian was having fun with a group of children, big and small.

From time to time, the children cheered and even screamed.

As for the places that couldn't be seen clearly, there were figures moving around, probably other female members of Da Sima's family.

"I'm lowering my official rank to pay my respects to Grand Sima."

Feng Dashima, who was sitting there, turned his head and said with a smile:

"This is not the chancellery, and the chancellor did not come here today to discuss any political affairs with me. Why is this necessary?"

Pointing to the seat next to him, "But please sit down."

Then he said to Wei Rong, "Gouzi, go get a cup of tea."

In this world, probably only Feng Da Sima and Wei Rong's mothers would call the proctors of the Royal Academy that way.

Wei Rong responded respectfully, asked Fei Yi to sit down, and then poured another cup of tea.

After he finished all this, Feng Dashima waved his hand again:

"Go ahead."

Wei Rong bowed and left.

Today, all the guests in the front hall of Mr.'s house will be entertained by him, so naturally he cannot stay here any longer.

After Wei Rong left, Feng Da Sima did not speak immediately. He just picked up a chess piece and placed it on the chessboard.

From the moment he came in to the moment he sat down, Fei Yi acted calmly and elegantly.

Unexpectedly, Feng Da Sima Luozi's movements made him frown slightly:

The position of this chess piece...

Why is it so weird?

Mrs. Mei on the opposite side immediately followed and also lost a piece.

Then Fei Yi frowned again.

this……

Could it be that I am ignorant, why have I never seen such a move before?

Go has a lot in common with the art of war.

Feng Da Sima had great military exploits and was invincible across the battlefield.

Such people who are proficient in military strategy must have unique skills in playing chess.

Mrs. Mei, on the other hand, was a famous arithmetic master. She was the editor-in-chief of the Enlightenment Arithmetic of the Han Academy.

How could he not be a chess piece?

Thinking of this, Fei Yi's spirit suddenly lifted.

I wonder, can we see top chess players competing today?

Moreover, it is a chess move that I have never seen before.

After seeing Amei's position, Feng Dasima raised his head and looked at Fei Yi, who was about to observe:

"Shang Shuling, do you want to negotiate for me?"

Although Mrs. Mei was granted a title by the imperial court and was a gentleman of the Royal Academy, Fei Yi still did not dare to look at Mrs. Mei:

"How dare you, a lowly official, be so presumptuous? I'm afraid you'll lose your etiquette."

Feng Dasima smiled suddenly:

"Shang Shuling's face didn't change when he entered the hall. Why did he become so reserved when he sat down here?"

In fact, the second courtyard is not really the backyard of Da Sima Mansion.

This can only be regarded as the transition between the front yard and the backyard.

However, the family members of the Feng family would often appear in this place, so it would make sense to say that they were entering the house - for example, now.

When Fei Yi heard what Feng Da Sima said, his face turned slightly hot, and he felt a little ashamed:

"Yi is too conservative."

Feng Da Sima stood up and gave up his position:

"Your Majesty, please."

This time, Fei Yi was no longer humble. After sitting down, he bowed his head and said to Mrs. Mei:

"Yi is rude."

Amei, who has brought many disciples over the years, is no longer the barbarian girl from Nanzhong she used to be, but when she saw her, she stretched out her hand generously:

"Please also ask Shangshu Ling for advice."

Fei Yi started thinking about this game of chess from the moment Feng Da Sima made his first chess piece.

But until now, I still can't figure out why these black and white stones on the chessboard are played like this.

He thought about it again and again, but in the end he did not dare to continue Feng Da Sima's chess game, but took a different look.

Amei's expression remained unchanged, and she followed Fei Yi's move and made another move.

Fei Yi finally understood this time.

His face felt hot again, and at the same time he secretly felt ashamed.

It seems that Mrs. Mei is deliberately playing chess against herself using a chess game that she can understand.

The two played very fast at the beginning, but after the middle game, the speed began to slow down.

"when!"

"Qiang!"

"drink!"
