After waiting at the door for a while, the concierge walked out and said politely: "Mr. Lin, please come in."
"Thanks."
Lin Xu bowed and strode in.
Chen Qingyu, who temporarily replaced Xia Dahai as Lin Xu's personal bodyguard, carried two huge gift boxes and followed closely.
In the living room, Zhou Changmin was drinking tea in a green casual dress. Except for a maid who was waiting by her, there was no one else.
"Mr. Zhou!"
After Lin Xu walked into the living room, he bowed respectfully.
"Oh, Lin Xu is here, let's sit down."
Zhou Changmin responded lightly and reached out to signal.
Although his tone was quite polite, Zhou Changmin called him his name. Judging from the current etiquette, this itself means an attitude of disrespect!
Lin Xu glanced quietly and saw Zhou Changmin's face look like water, and he could not see any sadness and joy.
He couldn't help but sigh inwardly. An old fox like Zhou Changmin had already cultivated himself into a spirit, and his ability to not show his emotions was even more perfect. Don't think about seeing anything from his face.
"Thank you sir."
Lin Xu thanked him, but did not go to sit directly, but signaled the gift box that Chen Qingyu was carrying and said, "Mr. Zhou, for the first time I visited you and your wife, I will prepare a small gift for you and your wife, please accept it with a smile."
"Is that so? What gift?"
Zhou Changmin asked lightly.
Lin Xu took one of the gift boxes from Chen Qingyu, walked up and placed them on the coffee table next to Zhou Changmin.
Open the lid of the gift box, and there were thirty-two round chess pieces neatly placed inside, carved from green jade, and the words "Ship, Master, Horse, and Cart" were also engraved on them, including black and red.
"What is this? Is it a pawn?"
Zhou Changmin asked curiously.
"Yes, this is a chess game that was invented by taking inspiration from war and military tactics, named: Chess."
Lin Xu explained with a smile.
That’s right, these types of chess and card games with a wide range of mass bases have not appeared yet.
With the wonderful idea of allowing the people of the Daning Dynasty to have more entertainment after dinner, Lin Xu was preparing to slowly promote these chess and card games.
Among them, the first one he promoted was chess.
Before, some people in Linshan Village, such as Sun Chong, Huo Qingyun, Chen Qingyu, and even Ruolan, Yang Min, and Yan Ning, have learned the rules of chess, but each person has different comprehension abilities, so their levels are different.
.
The stupidest one is Xia Dahai. He taught him step by step several times, but he still couldn't learn it. He was so angry that he simply stopped learning it!
As for those outside Linshan Village, the first person to come into contact with chess was Zhou Changmin!
Since the Daning Dynasty's chess and card games were very scarce, before that, there were only chess types such as suffocating cows, tiger chess, and Sihe Banners. The gameplay of these flags is very simple and there are not many changes, whether it is complexity or
Funny, it's completely incomparable to chess!
In addition, the inspiration for chess originated from war and military tactics, so to a certain extent, the deduction of military tactics can be performed by playing chess!
Therefore, Lin Xu was very confident. As long as Zhou Changmin came into contact with chess, he would definitely be obsessed with it!
At that time, he will naturally be the "teacher" who teaches him to play chess and practices with him. In this way, he will naturally be reluctant to kill himself.
The reason why he chose to give chess to Zhou Changmin at this time was naturally because he set up a game in advance to solve Yue Yao's incident later!
Even if it doesn't play a decisive role, it will definitely be helpful! This chapter has been completed!
