Chapter Seventy-Three: Playing Chess

He has been trying to avoid contact with the other party these days, after all, to a certain extent, the other party is the most familiar with his character before the crossing of all the people here, and he is old and fine, it is difficult to say whether he will be seen if he will be seen any flaws if he is not careful.

But since I've been invited, I naturally have to bite the bullet.

I can only hope that the other party will not pay too much attention.

However, the subordinate did not lead him to Old Man Su's room, but walked towards the outside of Su's mansion.

Although Du Bai was a little puzzled, he still followed.

After walking for a distance, until we reached the river, we could see a wooden pavilion on the bank of the river, and a white old figure was sitting in the pavilion, as if quietly watching the scenery.

Isn't it Mrs. Su!

In front of him, Du Bai didn't have too much nervousness, after all, he was also a person who had seen a big scene. Take a few steps forward, follow the other party's line of sight and look into the distance, just see a piece of greenery.

The beautiful scenery of mountains and rivers is pleasing to the eye, if you look at it several times a day, it must be possible to live a few more years.

Old Lady Su withdrew his gaze from the slightly rippling river, and landed on Du Bai, especially his face, and swept his eyes carefully.

This is the first time he has taken a closer look at this grandson-in-law since he got married. I vaguely remember that before, although the other party was a scholar, he did not have a bit of scholarly arrogance, but his face was gloomy and weak, and he did not dare to make a decision when he encountered problems, and he was not a manufacturable material at all.

However, what he thought at the time was that only such a man would be easily controlled by Wanmiao, and it would not affect her too much, and it would also facilitate the future development of the Su family.

It's just that after experiencing some things now, he realizes that he has gone too far, and he only thinks about his family business, but he doesn't think about Wanmiao's feelings at all. Such a grandson-in-law, how can he be called a good match?!

So he regretted it a little, and he wanted to make a move before he could get it back.

It's just that some decisions were made after talking to Wan Miao last night, and because her attitude was not made immediately, she finally decided to talk today.

But now when I look closely, I find that Du Bai's expression is very different from before, the gloom that made people disgusted at first glance seems to have been swept away, but it is full of vitality, and there is an indescribable charm between the eyebrows and eyes, which makes people subconsciously give birth to a little respect and closeness.

Old Lady Su naturally didn't know that this was the effect of righteousness, but vaguely remembered that this feeling seemed to have been seen in several distinguished adults, and she was quite impressed, so that now she suddenly remembered when she saw a similar temperament.

Naturally, he would not absurdly think that this unremarkable grandson-in-law could be compared to those noble adults, but at least it made him improve his opinion a little.

The facial features can see a person's temperament. He had met too many people, so he was naturally somewhat sure of this.

"Let's play a game of chess, since the last time I played chess with you or before we got married......"

"I wonder if chess skills have improved these days?"

He motioned for Du Bai to sit down, and then suddenly pointed to the chessboard that had been placed on the stone table in front of him.

Du Bai looked at the chessboard and chess pieces, it was Go, and after a little thought in his heart, he nodded: "These days, I have been busy with other things and have not played chess, and I am afraid that my chess skills are a lot rusty, which will disappoint my grandfather......"

He is not modest, he is not very interested in activities such as playing chess, he can say that he can do a little is a little, he belongs to the type that only knows the rules and will play two hands, if he is proficient, he is not.

But it's not a shame, to put it bluntly. is too far behind the previous chess skills, and has already found an excuse that he has not played chess for the past few days and is unfamiliar.

"It's okay, just have a heart." Old lady Su waved her hand and said, with no surprise or joy on her face.

Although he didn't know why the other party suddenly and inexplicably asked him to play chess, Du Bai didn't ask much, so he simply accompanied the other party to play chess.

His chess skills are really bad, although he can feel that Old Lady Su is deliberately trying to make himself, but he still has some meaning that rotten wood cannot be carved, and he announced that he lost the game after only a moment.

Zhizi paused at his fingertips for a long time, looking at the chessboard that had nowhere to go, Du Bai looked at the old lady Su who looked indifferent before meeting, and smiled a little embarrassed: "I lost." ”

He was a little embarrassed that he had lost so quickly, and he was still a little embarrassed.

"You've changed a lot ......"

Old lady Su suddenly said leisurely.

Du Bai's heart tightened, could it be that his predecessor's chess skills were actually good, and he was exposed?

He hadn't thought of this just now, and he couldn't help but get a little nervous.

"It is often said that you can tell a person's character by playing chess." However, what relieved him was that what Old Lady Su said was not about it.

"Although your chess skills have not improved much, I can see that there are many bad things missing in your chess move," when he said this, he seemed to frown slightly, and then slowly unfolded, his voice was a little relieved, "Is it because of Wanmiao?" ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

Vaguely feeling that the old man seemed to have misunderstood something, Du Bai was a little confused, but he didn't dare to ask more, just sat on the chair seriously, looking at each other with bright eyes.

It's just that I didn't expect this action to make the other party feel that he was admitting, and nodded slowly: "Okay, since you young people have your own ideas, I won't interfere with an old man." I believe that Wanmiao will not look at the wrong person. ”

If this grandson-in-law can really be willing to change himself and strive for progress for the sake of grace, it is not too late, the resources of the Su family are enough to support him to continue to grow, even if he does not have too much self-motivation, but as long as he can treat his wife well, it is not a good son-in-law.

He could see some clues from his granddaughter's attitude last night, and she may have really moved some feelings for him.

He can also give his full support to his granddaughter as long as he wants.

Old Lady Su chatted with him for a while, and he also tried not to show his flaws. However, this conversation did not last long, in the end, it was the beginning of a serious illness, and Mrs. Su quickly showed a little fatigue on her face.

The maid who was waiting on the side stepped forward in time to stop the conversation, and Du Bai was able to leave the conversation that had made him tense and return to his room.

After thinking about this conversation carefully, he vaguely sensed a little taste, especially after thinking of the conversation between the grandfather and grandson last night.

But then he shook his head slightly and smiled.

He doesn't care too much about these things, it's naturally best to be content with the status quo, and it doesn't hurt if he can't, he doesn't like to force anything.

After returning to his room, he began to study something elseβ€”the Buddha bone.

When he held it in his hand, it felt like a warm piece of jade, and there was nothing special about it. It seems that the mysteries in the Lanruo Temple before are all hidden, and they are not enough for outsiders.

But what's even more bizarre is that Du Bai can't stimulate its effect at this time, as if it has become an extremely ordinary piece of jade.

"That's weird......"
