The Favored Little Peasant Seizes the Heroine's Script!-Chapter 459 - 431: The Eldest Princess’s Favor (Part 2)
"Brother-in-law!"
As soon as Wei Wushang entered the room, Yuan Shouqian and Yuan Shousun immediately stood up to greet him.
"..."
It was only at this moment that Wei Wushang recalled that when they returned yesterday, they had brought the two little brothers-in-law back with them.
"You little brat, what are you daydreaming about?"
"No manners at all!"
The Eldest Princess, seeing Wei Wushang in a daze, directly threw a chess piece she was holding at him.
Hit by the chess piece, Wei Wushang snapped back to reality, smiling as he returned the greeting to his two little brothers-in-law and apologized, saying that he had just spaced out.
Although Wei Wushang was a genuine person, he certainly wasn’t foolish.
At this moment, the truth was not something to be spoken.
With Wei Wushang’s arrival, the number of people learning chess increased by one.
However, Wei Wushang undoubtedly belonged to the highly intelligent type; after listening to Yuan Bao’s explanations, he quickly got the hang of it. As for those strategies, Wei Wushang was able to easily apply them and derive new ideas.
Wei Wushang had learned Go before, and compared to Go, Gomoku was simply beginner level.
"This lousy kid doesn’t know how to let me win even a little!"
The Eldest Princess, initially thinking she could gain some superiority with the extra learning she had done, didn’t expect to encounter her own son, who didn’t go easy on her in the slightest, and got soundly beaten again.
Fuming, the Eldest Princess promptly drove him out.
"Mom, I think, little uncle must have done it on purpose!"
After Wei Wushang was chased away, Yuan Bao added fuel to the fire on the side, "Little uncle definitely thinks our Gomoku isn’t challenging, and that’s why he used this method to get you to chase him away!"
"He just thinks we’re playing childish games!"
This mischief was very sophisticated indeed.
After all, it was the truth.
Among the four people playing Gomoku, although the Eldest Princess was an adult, she had the mind of a child. As for the other three, Yuan Bao was not yet eleven, and Yuan Shouqian and Yuan Shousun were obviously younger.
"No worries, when we master the advanced techniques, we’ll beat him!"
The Eldest Princess got stubborn and was determined to master Gomoku.
What could Yuan Bao say?
He could only dutifully play the role of a little tutor.
...
After teaching Gomoku for half a day, Yuan Bao felt he was nearly dizzy.
The Eldest Princess looked smart and capable, but really wasn’t cut out for Gomoku. As soon as Yuan Bao taught her some tricks, a slight variation would stump her.
In fact, her ability to integrate and apply knowledge was not even as good as the two little guys, Yuan Shouqian and Yuan Shousun.
Finally enduring until lunchtime, Yuan Bao found his release.
After having lunch with the Eldest Princess, everyone went back to their rooms for a nap.
However, Yuan Bao didn’t nap. Instead, he was pondering a new game to free himself.
With time limited, Yuan Bao managed to come up with playing cards.
He had someone cut cardboard into uniform sizes, wrote simple text on them, and made playing cards.
In Yuan Bao’s opinion, the Eldest Princess was so interested in Gomoku purely out of boredom. Since that was the case, why not find her a variety of games to play?
Of course, playing cards were just a temporary solution.
Yuan Bao planned to take a few days to come up with Mahjong.
Mahjong, now that was surely the absolute companion for bored women.
By that time, the women of the Wei Family who had nothing much to do at home would have an excellent game to pass the time.
As for Mahjong being addictive?
If it were the future, that would be a big problem, but for now, it’s not an issue at all.
At this point in time, after nightfall, even with many candles lit, the room’s lighting was still somewhat inadequate. So, playing Mahjong all night was naturally unrealistic.
When Yuan Shouqian and Yuan Shousun woke up from their nap, Yuan Bao took them to see the Eldest Princess again.
However, when Yuan Bao demonstrated how to play cards, the Eldest Princess abandoned Gomoku. The main reason was that Gomoku was too mentally exhausting, and the Eldest Princess found it too demanding for her.
But the card game was much simpler.
What Yuan Bao taught the Eldest Princess was how to play "Fight the Landlord."
Three people can play!
Yuan Bao was one, the Eldest Princess another, and then there was Mrs. Wei Shen!
In the afternoon, Mrs. Wei Shen also came over and naturally was kept by the Eldest Princess.
"Fight the Landlord," two against one!
The Eldest Princess was the typical player who was bad but obsessed. No matter if her cards were good or not, as soon as she got the chance to be the landlord, she would absolutely not pass it up.
