Mo Yuzhen didn't expect that things would reach this point in the end, so she quickly and quietly grabbed Cen Yunchu's clothes! She whispered, "Sister Yun, let's bet on a table. Just win or lose in one round."
Cui Mingzhu did not allow her to change, and said: "If you want to be a hero, I will help you. It is the beauty of adulthood. But if you shrink from the battle, don't blame me for telling you something good."
"Don't worry, I will never change." Cen Yunchu's chin is always slightly raised. She is already tall, and coupled with her outstanding appearance, it is inevitable that people will think that she is arrogant: "But when each deck of cards is brought,
I want to check the cards first."
"Just test it, you test it and I test it," Cui Mingzhu said.
Mo Yuzhen had no choice but to ask her servants to bring four tables.
Everyone in the garden was just watching the excitement, and no one noticed that a group of people had gathered at the rockery pavilion of Yining Gongfu across the street to watch the excitement here.
Several noble ladies were sitting in the pavilion, all in their forties.
What they wear on their body and head are similar. They are all dresses and coats made of fragrant cloud gauze or jade crepe. They are paired with jewelry inlaid with gold and jade. They deserve the word "luxury".
It's just that their behavior is a bit funny. Everyone has squinting eyes and mouths, but they are very focused.
It turned out that each of them was holding a single-cylinder telescope in their hands - commonly known as clairvoyants.
Using this thing, you can see clearly from dozens of feet away.
"The daughter of Mr. Xinyong is too domineering. Who can marry into the house and not make everyone jump like crazy?" The speaker was Mrs. Rong Jinhou.
"Do you think that Xue Baniang next to her is just a fuel saver? I heard that she almost instigated a divorce between her brother and sister-in-law." Sitting next to her was General He's wife.
"Speaking of which, among the twenty or thirty ladies, the most beautiful one is the one from the Cen family." Li Shangshu's wife couldn't help but praise her.
"She looks really outstanding, but her temperament is also hateful!" Mrs. Bailihou shook her head.
"Why do I feel that there are still several ladies who have not arrived?" Mrs. Jinrong Hou asked strangely.
"Have you forgotten what day it is today?" Mrs. Yining, who had been silent until now, spoke up.
"What day?" Mrs. Bailihou couldn't figure it out either.
"It's the fifth day of the Lunar New Year! Those few should have gone to Mr. Zuo's place to have their fortune told." General He's wife said.
"Isn't it? Look at my memory!" The rich man Jinrong Hou laughed.
"It doesn't matter whether we see good or bad, Mr. Zuo has to say yes!" Mrs. Bailihou put down her clairvoyance and rubbed her sore eyes.
"I don't think so. Then before Mr. Zuo came, wouldn't each family have a wife? Isn't it good that I have arranged a matchmaker for you?" Mrs. Yining rolled her eyes and said.
"Of course it's good, otherwise why would I come to your place again today?" Several other people said quickly.
"I say it would be good for your son to marry Cen Tong's daughter," the Duke's wife suggested to Madam Bailihou: "Your family's title will only be inherited to your son's generation. After that, you will have to take the imperial examination."
There is a way out. Although the girls from the Cen family are a bit noble in temperament, they are still smart. Since ancient times, if a son is like his mother, the children born will be smart and handsome, and are good candidates for study."
"That's what I say, but it's hard to raise a talented woman." Madam Bailihou looked troubled: "I'm afraid my son won't be able to control her."
"Come on! You should wait for Mr. Zuo's comments!" Madam Shangshu covered her mouth and said with a smile: "Otherwise, don't worry!"
"Let's watch the excitement!" Mrs. Bailihou quickly changed the subject: "Let's see if Miss Cen can fight one against twelve."
This kind of gambling is something I have never heard of, let alone seen it with my own eyes.
But Cen Yunchu insisted on doing this.
By the time the adults from the Mo family came over, the gaming tables had already been set up.
Mrs. Mo hurriedly pulled her sister over and asked, "What are you doing? I just heard from the maid that they were fighting."
The reason why Mr. Mo was not here was because he wanted these young girls to have more fun, not to mention that the main banquet had not yet been served, but something like this happened unexpectedly.
Mo Yuzhen briefly explained the previous experience to her sister, and said: "We have reached this point, and we can't stop it anymore. Let's wait and see the outcome. We can't really let them fight."
"That's all we have to do," Mo said helplessly, "then there will be enough steps on both sides."
"Sister, can Sister Yun win?" Mo Yuzhen was even more worried about Cen Yunchu now.
"I don't know about this anymore," Mo said with a frown.
To be honest, she didn't know this sister-in-law very well. She only knew that her second uncle loved her very much. She loved reading the most, but she never talked about it in front of others. She also had a distant temperament and didn't like to get too close to others.
Cen Yunchu drew cards from two families by himself, and asked his two maids Fulan and Linxi to draw the cards for him from the remaining two families.
"You go to the leaf table, sit across from Sister Yun, and we are a family." Mr. Mo said to her sister.
Mo Yuzhen followed the instructions and sat down, playing leaf cards for two people, drawing cards to determine the banker, who was responsible for dividing the cards and dealing the cards first.
Cen Yunchu herself touched mahjong and Tianjiu, but after she touched the tiles, she put them on the table so that others could not see her tiles at all.
Everyone thought that playing cards in this way would be much slower. After all, Cen Yunchu had to take care of four families.
Unexpectedly, after touching the cards, Cen Yunchu took the cards from the hands of the two maids, looked at them, put them down, and put them on the table.
Then he said: "Every table should deal with the cards according to the rules!"
Cui Mingzhu and others were waiting for this sentence. There were people from her at every table, and they knew it clearly with a look.
Mr. Mo and others were worried, while others were happy to watch the excitement.
Looking at Cen Yunchu, he was dealing with four card tables as if he were taking a leisurely stroll, without any chaos.
As long as someone plays a card, she will follow suit. Whether she wants it or not, touches it or eats it, her four decks of cards are all stuck, but she can accurately touch the one she wants to play.
Gradually, Cui Mingzhu's expression lost the previous pride and became more and more panicked.
She originally thought that they would have someone to take care of each other, so that they could play cards together.
But firstly, all of Cen Yunchu's cards were held up, and they couldn't see them at all. Secondly, Cen Yunchu hardly had to think when he played his cards, which made them play faster.
Finally, on the leaf card table, the girl from the Zhang family was one card away from winning, so she stretched out two fingers. The person opposite her understood, but it was a pity that she didn't have this card in her hand. If it weren't for Cen Yunchu and Mo
She could only touch Yuzhen's hands.
"Miss Zhang and Miss Yang, stop looking for me. The cards you want are not with me." Cen Yunchu smiled slightly. She only had one card left in her hand, and it happened to run into the revealed card.
Cen Yunchu played all the cards first, followed by Miss Zhang, then Mo Yuzhen, so their family can be considered a winner.
Mo Yuzhen stepped back from the table and couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief. At least she had won a round.
Tianjiu played Wen cards, Tian cards combined four and five, and Earth cards combined two and six, and Cen Yunchu was the first to win.
