After waiting at the door for a while, the concierge came out and said politely: "Mr. Lin, please come in."
"Thanks."
Lin Xu cupped his hands and strode in.
Chen Qingyu, who temporarily succeeded Xia Dahai as Lin Xu's personal bodyguard, followed closely with two huge gift boxes in hand.
In the living room, Zhou Changmin was drinking tea in blue casual clothes. Except for a maid waiting beside him, there was no one else.
"Master Zhou!"
After Lin Xu walked into the living room, he bowed respectfully.
"Oh, Lin Xu is here, sit down."
Zhou Changmin responded lightly and extended his hand to signal.
Although his tone was quite polite, Zhou Changmin called him by his first name. Judging from the current etiquette, this in itself means a disrespectful attitude!
Lin Xu glanced quietly and saw that Zhou Changmin's face was as pale as water, and there was no trace of sadness or joy at all.
He couldn't help but secretly sigh, an old fox like Zhou Changmin had already become a master in cultivation, and he was even more proficient in the ability to hide his emotions and anger, so it was better not to think about what he could tell from his face.
"Thank you, sir."
Lin Xu thanked him, but did not sit down directly. Instead, he motioned to the gift box held by Chen Qingyu and said, "Mr. Zhou, this is your first visit. I have prepared a small gift for you and your wife. Please accept it."
"Really? What kind of gift?"
Zhou Changmin asked calmly.
Lin Xu took one of the gift boxes from Chen Qingyu, walked forward, and placed it on the coffee table next to Zhou Changmin.
Opening the lid of the gift box, there are thirty-two round chess pieces neatly placed inside, carved from sapphire, with the words "handsome, official, prime minister, horse, rook" engraved on them, some in black and some in red.
"What is this? A chess piece?"
Zhou Changmin asked curiously.
"That's right, this is a chess game I invented after getting inspiration from war and the art of war. It's named: chess."
Lin Xu explained with a smile.
That's right, in today's time and space, chess, Go, even mahjong, Landlords, these types of chess and card games with a broad mass base have not yet appeared.
With the wonderful idea of giving the people of the Ning Dynasty more ways to have fun after dinner, Lin Xu planned to slowly promote these card and board games.
Among them, the first thing he promoted was chess.
Before, some people in their 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 everyone's comprehension ability is different, so their levels are also different.
.
The most stupid one among them was Xia Dahai. He was taught step by step several times, but he still couldn't learn it. He was so angry that he simply stopped learning!
As for people outside Linshan Village, the first person to come into contact with chess was Zhou Changmin!
Due to the lack of chess and card games in the Ning Dynasty, before that, there were only chess games such as Kupsi Niu, Tiger chess, and Sihe Banner. The gameplay of these flags was very simple, and there were not many changes, whether it was complexity or
The fun is completely incomparable to chess!
In addition, chess is inspired by war and the art of war, so to a certain extent, you can also conduct military exercises by playing chess!
Therefore, Lin Xu is extremely confident that as long as Zhou Changmin comes into contact with chess, he will definitely become obsessed with it!
When the time comes, he will naturally be indispensable as his "teacher" to teach him how to play chess and practice with him. In this case, he will naturally not be willing to kill himself.
The reason why he chose to give chess to Zhou Changmin at this time was naturally because he had planned a game in advance in order to deal with Yueyao's incident later!
Even if it doesn't play a decisive role, it will definitely be helpful! This chapter has been completed!
