"This is called mahjong. A complete set of mahjong tiles consists of 144 tiles, including numbered tiles, honor tiles, and flower tiles. However, we don't have flower tiles here, so we only have 136 tiles."

There was no flower tiles because most regions don't use flower tiles, and Yan An didn't know how to play them.

Another reason is that carving the flower cards is too complicated, and time is tight, so we'll talk about that next time.

"These are the Wan tiles: four of each from one to nine, for a total of thirty-six."

Yan An selected the coins ranging from ten thousand to ninety thousand and placed them in front of them.

"These are the bamboo tiles: four of each of the numbers one through nine, for a total of thirty-six tiles."

Yan An picked out the bamboos from one to nine.

"This tube is just like a cake, big and round, so it can also be called a cake. Yuexi, you are the youngest here. Remember, when you look for a husband in the future, you can't look for someone who only talks about making empty promises, it'll hurt your stomach."

Gu Yanan talked about mahjong while patiently instructing Yuexi.

“Eldest sister-in-law, who said I’m the youngest here? The fourth sister-in-law is clearly the youngest.”

"Is your fourth sister-in-law married?"

"yes."

Yuexi nodded.

"So, are you not married yet?"

Yuexi nodded again.

"Does getting married mean you're settled down and have a family? Does being settled down mean you're an adult?"

Yuexi nodded again.

"That's right. An'an is already an adult, so you should be careful and not be fooled by those ugly men."

"Yes, I understand, Eldest Sister-in-law. Don't worry, I will never eat pancakes again, I will only eat steamed buns and rice."

Gu Yanan slapped her forehead. "Fine, all that talk was for nothing."

"These are the bamboo tiles: four of each from one to nine bamboo, for a total of thirty-six."

"These are the wind tiles: four each for East, South, West, and North, for a total of sixteen."

"Four red dragons, four green dragons, and four white dragons, for a total of twelve cards."

As Yan An introduced the cards, Gu Yanan demonstrated all the cards in turn.

"How about that? It's easy to understand, isn't it?"

Qi Yanyan chimed in, "It is indeed quite vivid, very similar to the images on these cards."

Everyone turned to look at Yuexi. "Don't look at me like that. I'm just a little slow when it comes to relationships. I'm not stupid. When I was three or four years old, I could already recite hundreds of ancient poems by heart."

"That's true, that girl is very clever."

Gu Yanan recalled that when she was a child, apart from herself being constantly beaten and scolded by the teacher, everyone else was smart and quick-witted. She was even less intelligent than Yuexi, who was several years younger than her.

"Sister Ya Nan, are you just being stupid and framing Xi'er to shield yourself?"

"Fine, you're being sarcastic. Wait till I see, I'll make sure you're completely wiped out."

"Okay, I'll be waiting."

After the two exchanged harsh words, Yan An continued to explain the rules of mahjong.

"The rules are very simple. They are 'eat', 'pong', 'kong', 'waiting', and 'hu'. Among them, 'hu' means winning."

"Based on our current seating arrangement, we play counter-clockwise, which means that Sister Ya Nan is my upstream player and Xi Er is my downstream player."

"If the player before you plays a card that forms a straight with the player after you, they can take it. At the same time, they must play a card that they don't need."

"If someone else plays a card and you have two identical cards in your hand that make a set of three, you can call 'pong'. At this point, you should also play a card that you don't want."

"If another player discards a card and you have three identical cards in your hand, you can declare a Kong, which is called an open Kong. After declaring the Kong, you draw a card from the end of the row and discard the card you don't need."

If you have three identical cards in your hand and draw another identical card, it's called a concealed kong. You keep it face down so others don't know what card it is. Then you draw a card from the end of the row and discard the card you don't need.

"A kong takes priority over a chow. If the card you're konging is the same card the next player to the discarder wants to chow, the chow fails, and the kong succeeds."

After Yan An finished speaking, Gu Yanan demonstrated the game to them using cards.

"When you have assembled all the cards in your hand into a useful hand, you only need to add one last card to complete the hand. You can then enter the waiting stage. After declaring that you are ready to win, you cannot eat, pong, or kong, and you can only discard the card you drew in this round."

"As long as you have a few sets of three of the same kind, a few sets of three consecutive kind, and two of the same kind in your hand, you can win."

Gu Yanan randomly mixed the mahjong tiles together and rubbed them back and forth, showing that she was a seasoned mahjong player who had been playing for many years.

"Alright, this is something that can only be understood intuitively, not explained in words. You'll learn it as you play. Besides, if you teach them all, how am I supposed to win?"

Gu Yanan said proudly that although she was not as good as them in studying, she had never lost to anyone when it came to playing mahjong.

Gu Yanan was full of confidence.

"Sister Nianxia, ​​you go first. I'll watch you from the side and make sure Sister Ya Nan doesn't cheat."

"Okay, Xiao An'an, do you think I'm that kind of person?"

"I don't know if it's true or not, but you've certainly done your fair share of card swapping."

"Huh? Was the eldest princess always this dishonest when playing mahjong?"

The most sincere words can hurt the most. Yuexi's words were like a sharp sword, piercing Gu Yanan's heart.

"You've all bullied me too much! Humph! Watch me slaughter you all!"

The first round will be played by Xu Nianxia, ​​Gu Yanan, Yue Xi, and Qi Yanyan.

Undoubtedly, the first round ended in victory for Gu Yanan.
