Farm widows have space, pick up a treasure on the way to escape

Chapter 879 Don’t let free labor go to waste

Old Man Lu was not in a good mood, and his chess skills were not good, so he couldn't understand it at all.

But seeing that everyone said that Prince Nantai was awesome, he patiently watched it.

He knows the person who is playing chess with Crown Prince Nantai now. He is a very powerful old man. He usually seems relaxed when playing chess with others, but today he is extremely serious.

"This kid is really awesome! Why haven't I seen him before?"

"Yeah, he doesn't look like a local either."

"Neither is the accent."

……

Following these voices, Old Man Lu also looked at Prince Nantai and felt that he looked familiar, as if he had seen him somewhere.

Not sure, look again.

Old Man Lu squinted his eyes, memorizing the appearance of Prince Nantai, and then began to think about where he had seen him.

"Oh, this kid won! It's really good!"

"The back waves of the Yangtze River push the front waves!"

"What a boy!"

……

Amidst the praises from everyone, Old Man Lu came back to his senses, his face a little heavy.

He recognized Prince Nantai at the banquet last night, but he was a little nervous at first, and then went to drink with the old emperor and got into trouble, so his memory was a little confused.

It took me thinking carefully to remember this person.

How could Crown Prince Nan Tai, a man of quite high status, suddenly come to such a teahouse?

This is not a place where they young people like to come.

After last night's lesson, Old Man Lu became more vigilant, always worried that he would be watched.

The old lady has repeatedly told her that she should carefully consider what she says and do, so as not to harm the child.

In the morning, he had just asked his son to submit a confession. The emperor and the prince were kind and did not care about it. However, he could not take it to heart because of this, but took it as a warning.

The old man Lu now is no longer the old man Lu he used to be!
It's not that he is narcissistic, but he just has a hunch that Prince Nantai is here for him.

He frowned and immediately wanted to run away.

"Brother Lu, haven't you always wanted to learn to play chess? I think this young master is quite good. Maybe you can let him teach you."

The old man who had been talking to him smiled and suggested that this old man was generally enthusiastic and thought that if Old Man Lu could find someone with good chess skills to teach him, he should be able to learn quickly.

Most of the noble men here are in their fifties or sixties. When they have reached their old age, they rarely care about the affairs of the court. Even if there are banquets in the palace, they rarely participate, so they don't know about Nan. The identity of Prince Tai.

As soon as someone spoke, someone immediately spoke up and said, "Yes, although this kid is young, his chess skills are really good. You can ask him to teach you."

Everyone present has taught Old Man Lu before. Old Man Lu is still in the beginner stage. It is a good thing to have someone more powerful to teach him.

Everyone had good intentions, and it was not good for Old Man Lu to refuse, so he smiled and said, "You guys are joking, I'm just passing the time with nothing to do, how can I delay the young master's work?"

Only then did everyone remember that they were still young and had things to do, and only old guys like them had nothing to do.

"Oh, yes, yes, that still counts..."

Someone spoke, just wanting to express their apology to Prince Nantai. After all, when they said this, they didn't ask if they were willing to teach. It was really inappropriate.

Unexpectedly, before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Prince Nantai and said: "It doesn't matter, I just don't have much to do recently. If my uncle doesn't mind, I can show my shame." Everyone said so, Old Man Lu It would be unkind to refuse, so he smiled and said, "Thank you very much!"

The other party didn't intend to reveal his identity, and Old Man Lu didn't want to show off. He didn't know what to do, so he thought about going back and asking his son and daughter-in-law.

After everyone dispersed, Old Man Lu sat down and listened to him telling him some skills with anxiety. He was a little wary at first, but when he saw that the other party was really just teaching him chess skills, he slowly relaxed.

Old Man Lu arrived late. After sitting for a while, it was time for dinner and he was about to leave. Old Man Lu said gratefully, "Thank you for your advice, Your Majesty. I will invite Your Majesty to my home for dinner another day."

Last night, the envoys from various countries were sitting opposite them, and Crown Prince Nantai naturally sat in the conspicuous front row due to his status, so it was not unusual for him to be recognized.

The important thing is that he had no intention of hiding his identity, otherwise he would not show his true face.

"Mr. Lu, you're too polite, but it's an honor for me to be your guest."

Prince Nantai bowed his hand to Old Man Lu very humbly and politely, and did not refuse Old Man Lu's invitation.

Old Man Lu instantly felt that it was over.

He was just being polite, why did Prince Nantai agree to it?
When the Prince of Dongting arrived in Beiyan, he wanted to pay a visit, but his third daughter-in-law refused. She wanted to avoid suspicion and did not want to have contact with these nobles from other countries.

It would be better for him to lure the wolf into the house!
It's over, it's over, I'm going to get my ears pulled by the old lady again when I go back!
Old Man Lu had a grimace on his face and almost told him that he was joking.

However, he also knew that this would not work, so he still forced a smile, cupped his hands, and hurried back.

Prince Nan Tai found it funny when he saw him like this. Could it be that he was some kind of savage beast?

But it seems that starting with Mr. Lu is a good choice. At least he has already received an invitation to visit the house.

Although he knew that he was just saying polite words, he would definitely do what he said and he would not let this opportunity go.

Old Man Lu trotted all the way home and hurriedly looked for Lu Baichuan, but before Lu Baichuan came back from going out to do errands, he hurriedly went to find He Jiuniang.

It was inappropriate for a father-in-law to barge into his daughter-in-law's yard, so he took his old wife with him.

Mrs. Sun didn't even know what bad thing he had done. It would definitely not be a good thing if he was so anxious. He was scolded all the way.

He Jiuniang had been studying a new formula in the study. When she heard that Old Man Lu and Mrs. Sun were coming, she directly asked someone to come to the study to find her.

"Dad, what has made you so anxious? Don't be anxious. Let's take a sip of tea and talk slowly."

He Jiuniang smiled and poured a cup of tea for Old Man Lu and Mrs. Sun respectively. Mrs. Sun also scolded: "Who knows what trouble this damn old man will cause when he goes out? The lesson he learned yesterday was not enough..."

Old Man Lu didn't bother to drink tea at all. After regaining his composure, he talked about his encounter with Crown Prince Nan, and of course the kind words he said at the end.

"Oh, you damn old man, why don't you just piss me off! Why are you so untrustworthy! You just caused such a big trouble last night, and you can cause trouble just by being out for a while. Let me tell you what you're good at! "

Mrs. Sun was even more anxious. Even a woman of her own could know that the Lu family was at the cusp of the storm and it was best not to associate with those people.

But this old man talks carelessly and invites people to his home who are avoided by others. Isn't this putting his son and daughter-in-law on the fire?
Old Man Lu was also very ashamed. He had noticed it at the beginning, but in the end he said the wrong thing.

He really didn't expect that the other party would actually agree to it just because he was being polite. What a mistake!

"It's okay dad, it's not a big deal. He is willing to teach you how to play chess. The free labor is not in vain."

He Jiuniang didn't think it was anything. Anyway, Lu Baichuan had been sending people to keep an eye on these envoys. Even if they had any ideas, they didn't dare to blatantly attack the Lu family, let alone approach Old Man Lu directly without concealment.

"what?"

The old couple were confused by her statement. Is this okay?

"Don't worry, it's okay. He just wants to show goodwill to our family by contacting you. He doesn't have any malicious intentions. You also said that he is good at chess, so don't miss this opportunity and study hard."
