Lord Lan

Chapter 277 Su Wang plays chess and chooses a son-in-law (2)
The prime minister's wife secretly glanced at her own son who showed no jealousy from the beginning to the end. She really didn't know whether to cry or laugh. What should cry was that this brat didn't have a spark of love with the daughter-in-law his old mother liked, and he should laugh What's more, fortunately, the two brats in front of them didn't form a tangled love triangle with their (god)mother's favorite daughter-in-law.

"What smells good inside?" Gongsun Jinbi reached out and poked the food box Ying Si brought.

Ying Si smiled so brightly: "Melon seeds. I brought the six most delicious flavors." What he likes to eat and play with naturally wants to share with Su Julan.

Ying Si opened the box very neatly, and saw that the inside of the food box was cut into six small grids, and each box was filled with melon seeds of different colors or shapes: there are two kinds of big round and flat melon seeds, black and white ; small black and white melon seeds with slender particles; some fried into blue, light pink, mixed with candied fruit into a thick paste...

"Six spices, sweet-scented osmanthus, honey, rose, milky fragrance, and original flavor, there are six flavors in total." Ying Si introduced them one by one, then smoothly pinched a handful, and handed it to Su Julan: "I still knead the melon seeds for incense. "

Su Julan glanced at him strangely, but still took the melon seeds, and then tried to knock them a few times.The noise of her knocking was a bit loud, obviously someone who seldom eats snacks, so before the kernel in the center of the melon seeds was swallowed, the shell of the melon seeds stuck to her mouth, and she had to spit it out, making her a little embarrassed.

"I'll break it for you." Ying Si lowered her head with a smile, divided the melon seeds in her hand into her palm, and then broke out the melon seeds one by one and put them in Su Julan's hand.

The prime minister's wife looked at her son eating melon seeds on his own, and shook her head mournfully, knowing that her own son and Su Julan had nothing to do with each other!

But fortunately - there is also a godson who is very good!
Thinking of this, the prime minister's wife was relieved a lot, and she glanced at the two young juniors Ying Si and Su Julan again, and then she felt that it was right no matter how she looked at it, she decided to go back and help Ying Si make up a more domineering marriage proposal Anyway, this daughter-in-law Su Julan is determined not to run away!After eating melon seeds with these young people and chatting for a while, it didn't take long for the prime minister's wife to say goodbye and leave.

As soon as the prime minister's wife left, the smiling Ying Si suddenly turned his face and threw the empty melon shell in his hand at Gongsun Jincoin.

Gongsun Jinbi shouted while dodging: "Hey, this is none of my business! If you want to blame, you blame the one next to you, who is as tough as a hag, yet pretends to be reserved and gentle in front of others Everyone is blinded."

Su Julan looked at Gongsun Jinbi faintly: "You talk about people when you see people, and you talk about nonsense when you see ghosts, do you have any objections?"

Gongsun Jinbi rolled his eyes and continued cracking melon seeds. His technique of cracking melon seeds is obviously practiced. Not only is it as fast as a gust of wind sweeping leaves, but also silently, and the shells are not stained with saliva after knocking. That's a skill!
The housekeeper of Rongcuo Rong suddenly appeared in the corridor, saluted the three of them respectfully, and then said to Su Julan: "My lord came back from court and invited the crown prince to play chess in the front yard. I know that the little king and Mr. Gongsun are here. I will let you all go there to learn chess together."

Yan Hongxi?Learn chess?Su Julan couldn't figure out the respective goals of Su Wang and Yan Hongxi for the time being, so she stood up with her sleeves waved, and returned to Rongcuo's words: "We're coming right now."

"Ha! Ha! Ha!" As soon as he walked to the front garden, he heard Su Wang laughing loudly, "I never thought that the crown prince could play such meticulous chess at such a young age, what a formidable young man."

"My lord, you praised me a lot." The young man in Chinese clothes sitting opposite King Su had a face like jade, and his voice was clear and clear like ripples in the wind.When Su Julan and the others first came in, Yan Hongxi was staring at the chessboard without squinting. He straightened his two fingers and gently placed the white piece caught in it on a point of the chessboard, while opening the folding fan towards himself.

Su Wang held the sunspot in his hand and thought about it, and when he saw Su Julan and the others coming, he waved and called, "Come here, all of you."

Su Julan and the others slowed down and walked over.Yan Hongxi raised his eyes and smiled politely at them, his eyes slightly staggered away from hers.

Su Julan walked to the side of the chessboard, glanced down, and found that the black and white chess board was full and the game was still undecided, so she said, "Father, the game is over."

"Well, the game is over, but it's a pity that the outcome is not yet decided. Ying Si—" Su Wang smiled, and that smile gave Su Julan a bad feeling, "Why don't you play a game of chess with the Crown Prince, how about it?"

Su Wang asked them to come, is it because he specially asked Ying Si to play chess with Yan Hongxi?Su Julan thought for a second, but said with a calm smile: "Why is Father so sure that King Xiao Zun can play chess?"

Su Wang raised his eyebrows and glanced at Ying Si, there seemed to be some kind of hint hidden in his eyes that men only understand.Ying Si received Su Wang's eyes, and replied lazily without thinking: "Okay."

Yan Hongxi pondered and said: "Prince Su, that prince would be respectful rather than obedient."

Su Wang stood up and gave up his seat, and Ying Si and Yan Hongxi sat down across the chessboard.Su Wangdao: "Ju Lan, help put the chess pieces back into the basket."

"Huh?" Su Julan looked at the two maidservants standing quietly behind King Su, without saying anything, she lowered her head and stretched out her hands towards the chessboard, and put the white pieces on the chessboard into the basket in front of Yan Hongxi, and the black pieces into the winning four. The basket in front of you.Seeing this, the two reached out to help choose the chess pieces.The chessboard will soon be empty.

Yan Hongxi smiled slightly and said, "Little Zun Wang, who will go down first?"

Ying Si smiled and said: "Whatever, anyway, first come first has no effect on the ending."

Yan Hongxi had a half-smile, "Really? Little Zunwang is so confident?" A white chess piece flew up from the chess basket following his words, and landed firmly on the territory of the chessboard.

"Tianyuan started the game, you are very confident." Ying Si propped his chin, thought for a while with a smile, and dropped the black chess piece.

The pure white and pitch-black flames of war spread silently.

Su Julan looked at the chessboard in a blink of an eye. From the chessboard, he could roughly see the details of a person.Yingsi talks and laughs and uses soldiers, which is weird and changeable.Yan Hongxi played steadily, cautiously and meticulously.Almost all the time, they are evenly divided, and it is difficult to distinguish between equals for a while.

Su Julan, who was standing aside, lowered her head and watched patiently.Gongsun Jinbi, on the other hand, was very unhappy, secretly thinking that King Su called them here, firstly he didn't let him play chess, secondly, he didn't have pastries and snacks to eat, can't he stand like this and just watch?

Ying Si and Yan Hongxi suddenly stopped playing chess because they were stuck.

Suddenly, Gongsun Jinbi had an idea, brought over the two cups of tea that were placed on the table, and said with a thief, "Come on, come on, you two have been here for so long, take a breath, have a cup of tea, and have a snack."

After Su Julan quietly watched Gongsun Jinbi finish speaking, he put the tea on the side of the chessboard, and just like that, when he stretched out his elbow, he accidentally knocked over the chessboard. "Ah! Why was I so careless?" Gongsun Jinbi pretended to blame himself, "It's really troublesome, it ruined the two of you."
