Chapter 303 Pretending, Young Master Yan
She stood quietly and silently watched the two playing chess.
You Heng took the lead with Heizi.
His fingers lightly slid across the chessboard, leaving behind spots like stars in the dark night, dotted on the empty chessboard. The black stones gradually gathered into a powerful force, quietly encroaching on White's sphere of influence.
Lu Mei took the white chess piece to fight.
His pieces jumped around the board, trying to find a breakthrough and break the siege of the black pieces.
However, You Heng's black piece seems to have magical power. No matter how hard Lu Mei tries, White's piece can never escape the fate of being besieged.
As time went on, tensions grew on the chessboard. You Heng's Heizi is like a well-trained army, moving step by step and fighting steadily.
Lu Mei's white chess piece, on the other hand, was surrounded by black stones and seemed powerless, gradually losing the initiative.
The chess game is a silent battlefield, and the placement of every chess piece is extremely important.
You Heng's black piece was like a falcon, staring closely at Lu Mei's white piece, looking for the last opportunity to hunt.
Lu Mei, on the other hand, worked hard to adjust her mentality and strategy, trying to reverse the situation of the battle.
Finally, when one of You Heng's black stones fell, the situation on the entire chessboard instantly became clear.
The black pieces have completely surrounded the white pieces, leaving only a few white pieces lingering in the corner.
This chess game ended with You Heng's victory.
Xie Fengyue frowned when she saw it, and many ideas that even she found ridiculous appeared in her mind.
She can understand Lu Mei's gentle and steady chess style, but this is You Heng.
As a husband trapped in the back house due to his weak health, his chess style should not be full of decisive murderous intent.
This doesn't look like You Heng, but rather looks like someone.
Both of them were fully immersed in this hearty game. When You Heng came back to his senses, he immediately spotted the person standing behind him.
He didn't even need to use his brain, he immediately knew that the person standing behind him was Xie Fengyue. After all, the only person in Yongning who could enter Lu Mei's room without passing through was Xie Fengyue, who was the princess.
You Heng did not dare to turn his head immediately, but instead looked at Lu Mei with burning eyes.
After all, Xie Fengyue came from a noble family. Even if she was not proficient in chess skills, she could still tell the difference between the two players' chess styles.
She was a smart and careful girl. You Heng was really scared. The joy of winning the game disappeared in an instant, and even her palms began to sweat.
He now desperately hopes that Lu Mei can find a suitable reason to help him deal with it.
Lu Mei was already laughing in her heart, but there was a hint of gratitude on her face as she said: "Today, the tired horse is accompanying the Yang family to play the chess game again. Can the horse take a rest for a while?"
You Heng breathed a long sigh of relief, covered his mouth and coughed a few times: "Master Lu, there is no need to say thank you. I have long wanted to repeat the Yang family's chess game, but I have never found anyone who understands chess. I should be the one to thank Lu today." For adults.”
The two sang in harmony, which pretty much dispelled Xie Fengyue's suspicions.
Since this is the chess record of chess master Yang Jia, it is normal. The Yang family is a famous scholar in Qian'an. He is proficient in poetry, painting and chess. Especially because of his chess records, he is highly sought after by major families in Qian'an. You Heng, a man who can only study books at home, should know this.
"Do you two still want to play chess?" Xie Fengyue asked at the right time.
You Heng then pretended to turn around and said with a look of surprise: "Madam, you are back from your work? You are hungry. Do you need me to go to the kitchen and tell you to make some side dishes?"
As soon as he said these words, Lu Mei could hardly hold back her lips.
How could Gongzi Yan, a well-behaved husband, look like a man who bravely rode into the enemy alone to save him from danger?
Xie Fengyue didn't know what Lu Mei was thinking, so she waved her hand: "I've asked Hua Rui to give the instructions, but you've been having a high fever these past few days, how can you still come to do such a consuming thing?"
You Heng looked at Xie Fengyue pitifully. The red spots in her eyes were like the redness after crying. He just looked at her without replying or refuting.
For a moment, Xie Fengyue wondered if what she just said was too harsh.
Even though this husband came all the way to a remote place like this where she was unfamiliar with her life, he is still sick and is just playing chess to pass the time.
Thinking of this, an inexplicable feeling of guilt surged into her heart. Xie Fengyue couldn't help but speak a little softer: "I don't mean to blame you, I just feel that you..."
You Heng answered the question in time, and very considerately completed what Xie Fengyue couldn't say: "Madam, you are caring about me, I understand~"
Xie Fengyue.
In this awkward atmosphere, Lu Mei said with great discernment: "Does the princess have something important to ask me for?"
There was nothing wrong with Xie Fengyue. She always felt that she was very eloquent, but just now she almost couldn't find the words to reply. She quickly replied: "Exactly, exactly."
You Heng was feeling proud that he had blocked Xie Fengyue. When he was Wang Yan, he was often silenced by this girl when he was talking. Now, with You Heng's method, he could actually see this girl become frustrated.
Some kind of secret pleasure arose in his heart, and his eyebrows could not help but curl up: "Then I will go back to the room first, so as not to disturb Madam and discuss business with Mr. Lu."
As soon as he left, Xie Fengyue's straight back relaxed a little.
She adjusted her mentality, sat down where You Heng was before and said, "Xiao Xuan has found the mining island."
Lu Mei took a sip of tea and replied very calmly: "Yes, I know."
This made Xie Fengyue wonder whether Xiao Xuan's incompetence was known to outsiders. She collected her thoughts and continued: "Today, I have assigned the repair of Yongning to the major families. These days, they are most likely to If you don’t have time to pay attention to the outside world, we can take advantage of these days to act.”
Lu Mei remained indifferent: "Why don't you tell me your plan, Princess."
Xie Fengyue really couldn't understand Lu Mei's attitude, but he was the only one she could use now. She had to believe it or not, so naturally she could only discuss it with him.
Xie Fengyue took a deep breath and said: "I will transport the previously purchased slaves to the islands around the mining island in the near future. Most of them have been trained and it is more than enough to build some houses for logistics. Then I want to go there again Fuso buys slaves, and this group of people needs to select some young people for mining ore.”
After hearing this, Lu Mei replied: "The plan is barely feasible. As soon as the government ship returned to Yongning, the princess made such a big noise. With more than a hundred slaves going to sea, how should you explain to the wealthy families in Yongning?"
Xie Fengyue pondered for a moment and replied: "This is the reason why I came to find Mr. Lu today."
I read on Q that some book friends said they liked the male protagonist very much, but I actually had a lot of questions in my mind.
As the male protagonist, Gongzi Yan is really like soy sauce. Most of the plot and foreshadowing serve the female protagonist.
Is this how distance creates beauty?
It seems that I have to add more scenes to Young Master Yan, and I can’t let him play the role of soy sauce.
