The Emperor of Red Mansions: Many Children, Many Blessings, Opening Draft

"Mr. Huang?"

The shopkeeper of Haiyue Teahouse was stunned.

He immediately reacted and greeted Li Chenghan warmly and humbly.

"Mr. Huang, your presence here will really make Haiyue Teahouse shine!"

"Quick, make room No. 1!"

"Make the best tea of ​​our Haiyue Teahouse!"

The shopkeeper of Haiyue Teahouse came to Li Chenghan and bowed deeply.

After getting up, he quickly called out to the maids of Haiyue Teahouse to make room No. 1 and make the best tea of ​​Haiyue Teahouse.

After hearing the words of the shopkeeper, the maids of Haiyue Teahouse began to get busy.

And the guests who were drinking tea and playing chess in the hall all looked at Li Chenghan curiously.

They didn't know who the person in front of them was, who could make the shopkeeper Zhao of Haiyue Teahouse so humble and flattering.

You should know that shopkeeper Zhao didn't say this even when he was receiving ministers in the court.

And according to rumors, shopkeeper Zhao of Haiyue Teahouse has many large-scale industries in private, and has a big figure in the court as his support.

Could it be that this person is the big figure behind shopkeeper Zhao?

Or is he the son of a big figure? Grandson?

And the petite young man who was left behind by shopkeeper Zhao at the beginning of the hall also stared at Li Chenghan with curiosity.

Looking at Li Chenghan's handsome appearance that didn't look like an ordinary person, the young man's cheeks couldn't help but show a blush.

And the little girl behind her looked at Li Chenghan even more unbearable.

Staring at Li Chenghan, her eyes were full of obsession, and she couldn't pull it out no matter how hard she tried.

"Do you have a chess master?"

Looking at the private room with rolling curtains in the hall and the people who looked like scholars sitting in the hall playing chess, Li Chenghan felt itchy after drinking tea.

"Yes, of course there are. Haiyue Teahouse doesn't have much else, but there are still many chess masters.

Mr. Huang, please follow me first!"

Manager Zhao agreed to Li Chenghan with a smile on his face.

He immediately bowed and led the way for Li Chenghan.

"How can there be such a good-looking person in the world?"

The extremely handsome young man stared at the background of Li Chenghan leaving and going upstairs.

He couldn't help but mutter to himself.

"Auntie..., I just heard that the master wants to play chess with someone!

Why don't you recommend yourself to play chess with the master?"

After the young man came to his senses, he said to his master with a little excitement.

"Wait for Manager Zhao to come down."

The young man was a little hesitant, but after thinking that he came here to find an opponent to play chess with, he made up his mind.

Anyway, he definitely didn't ask to play chess with the other party because he thought the other party was good-looking and wanted to look at the other party more.

Yes, that's right!

After a while, Manager Zhao, who had arranged Li Chenghan, came down.

Young manSeeing this, Nian Lang went up with his servant and expressed his demands.

"Oh, my Mr. Lin!

Do you know who that gentleman is!"

"Forget about playing chess with that gentleman!

Even if your father, the Minister of Revenue, comes, that gentleman won't dare to play chess with him!"

"Besides, even chess masters are no match for you. If you beat that gentleman, do you know what the consequences will be?"

"Okay, the private room in the east corner of the first floor is ready for you! Mr. Wang Chang will be here soon and is waiting to play chess with you!"

Manager Zhao waved his hands repeatedly. He was joking because he knew how good Miss Lin, who was dressed as the Minister of Revenue, was at chess.

Let this person play chess with that top-notch gentleman.

What if that gentleman loses?

Didn’t you see that this young man defeated Mr. Wang Chang, a great Confucian scholar, and he was so confused?

“Who is that gentleman?”

Mr. Lin blinked her big eyes and asked Shopkeeper Zhao.

Her father didn’t dare to play chess with him when he saw him. Is there such a powerful person in Da Wu?

You should know that her father is the Minister of Revenue who is in charge of the world’s money and grain!

Shopkeeper Zhao:…

“Go back and tell your father what that gentleman looks like, and your father will tell you who that gentleman is!”

Shopkeeper Zhao had no choice but to speak to Mr. Lin.

Mr. Lin was even more confused by this.

Looking up at the door of Room No. 1 on the upper floor, he saw that a group of Haiyue Tea House thugs were guarding the door on the left and right in the corridor in front of Room No. 1.

"Who is it?"

Mr. Lin felt as if he had been scratched by a cat.

And Shopkeeper Zhao would not tell Mr. Lin what the identity of that gentleman was.

Instead, he looked at Mr. Lin and went to do his own thing.

Mr. Lin could not say anything more about this, and went straight to the private room arranged by Shopkeeper Zhao. (To read the novel, go to Flylu Novel Network!)

In the private room No. 1, Li Chenghan sat in front of the chessboard and drank the tea brought by the maid.

And opposite Li Chenghan sat a white-haired old man.

But after the two of them played chess, cold sweat gradually seeped out of the old man's forehead.

At the beginning, when Shopkeeper Zhao asked him to play chess with the handsome young man in front of him, he repeatedly told him that he must let him win.

At that time, he was unhappy.

Because this was to let him give up his love for his whole life and the chessboard he had played for decades to please the powerful.

But he really couldn't stand the fact that Manager Zhao gave him too much.

But now after playing chess, he found that he was no match for the young man in front of him.

From the time he deliberately played defense at the beginning, to when he took it seriously, to the time he was struggling to deal with it now, he was so calm from beginning to end, and he made his move without any thought.

Such calmness made him think for a long time and consider the overall situation before he dared to play 080.

This also made the old man deeply doubtful. With such a good chess skill, he still needed to let the young man win?

With such a good chess skill, he would have a hard time dealing with it.

Finally, after the old man thought for a long time and decided on the most secure position, Li Chenghan followed without hesitation and made the old man's pupils shrink violently.

"Heh! This gentleman's chess skill is inferior to mine."

Seeing that he had already lost, the old man smiled bitterly and stood up, bowed to Li Chenghan and admitted defeat. []

"Is there no one in your Haiyue Tower who is good at chess?"

Li Chenghan said to the old man in a rather boring way.

It is said that he will find a master to play against him, but this is too simple.

This chess game made him feel trapped.

Could it be that since he has the strength of a chess master, he will have to bid farewell to the chess world from now on because he has no opponent?

As expected, masters are lonely!

"Well, we have a guest who is a chess master in Haiyue Teahouse. His skills are so great that even Mr. Wang Chang can hardly cope with him.

When I came here, I happened to see this gentleman there.

Why don't we let Manager Zhao invite him?"

The old man thought for a while and recommended him to Li Chenghan.

"Call him!"

Li Chenghan said to him in a dull tone.

If the master the old man mentioned doesn't interest him, then he will leave. .
