Chapter 138 Mouth betrays the brain
With mahjong, Xu Muhua was like a chicken with blood, his mind was so clear! He explained the rules of mahjong in detail.
Xu Jiang and Xu Rui, even Xu Nan, seemed to be born with advantages in this aspect. Xu Muhua explained it once, and then played it again, and they actually understood it accurately!
Xu Jiang loved martial arts since he was a child. If there is anything in the world that can make him have a strong interest, there are only two things so far: first, learning martial arts and marching to fight; second, he was deeply attracted to Xu's mother when he first met her, and took the trouble to marry her.
Mahjong can really be called the third thing that makes him have a strong interest!
After learning it, he was eager to try it.
The same is true for Xu Rui.
As the eldest son of the Duke of Chengguo's mansion and the designated prince, the responsibility on his shoulders is innate! His background and his status do not allow him to be like those young masters who have no burden and can play as much as he wants. When he was young, the most he did was to have a Cuju game or Jiju with his friends. He himself was not very interested in those entertainment projects.
But now his mind is really hung up!
Xu's mother was slow to accept it, and the father and son really wanted to try it, so Xu Muhua had to play with the three of them first, and let Xu's mother and Xu Jinyu watch on the side.
At the beginning, Xu Jiang and his three sons were of course not very skilled, and Xu Muhua was very patient. Seeing that they were confused and paused, he explained it and was happy to act as their mahjong teacher.
After playing like this twice, Xu Jiang and Xu Rui got the hang of it!
"Ahem! This, mahjong, well..."
Xu Muhua saw that the three of them had gotten the hang of it, and was ready to start playing mahjong.
As she spoke, she rubbed her index finger and thumb together to make a money gesture, which was full of hints.
Unfortunately, General Xu didn't understand them.
"What do you mean?"
Seeing that they seemed to really not understand, Xu Muhua had to be straightforward and took out a piece of silver from his purse, "I told you it's almost the same as mahjong, so how can you not have money?"
Xu's mother had already moved a chair and sat next to Xu Jiang. Hearing this, she glared at her daughter, "Why are you playing with money, little kid?"
Xu Jiang laughed, "It's okay, ma'am, tonight is New Year's Eve, and it's a rare opportunity for us to sit together and play cards, so let's follow the children's wishes and have a good time! But the amount of silver doesn't have to be too large, just for the sake of it."
"Of course! Even if Dad wants to play big, I don't have any money!"
Xu Muhua groaned, "In order to make this set of mahjong for Dad and eldest brother, I took out all the private money I saved since I was a child, and now my pocket is empty!" Why
not take advantage of them being novices to give it a try? Earn a little bit. Xu Muhua thought humbly.
Xu Jiang laughed again after hearing that, "Okay, as you say!"
Xu Jiang and Xu Rui thought that they would lose interest after they had satisfied their addiction, but they didn't expect that the more they played mahjong, the more fun it became, and the more addicted they became to it, and they couldn't stop!
In the end, Xu's mother thought she had learned it and wanted to try it, but no one was willing to give up their seat! Xu's mother was so anxious that she was about to get angry.
Xu Muhua and the other two then drove the youngest Xu Nan off the table at the same time!
Xu Nan dared not to be angry, because who made him the youngest in the family?
Although Xu's mother thought she knew it when she watched from the side, she found that she was not very good at it when she actually sat at the table and touched it, and she felt bumpy. But the other three people tacitly let her win as soon as she came to the table, which made her so happy that the corners of her mouth were almost grinning to the back of her ears!
After winning, Xu's mother became even more interested!
"Sister, are you tired? Do you want to take a break?"
Xu Nan finally couldn't help asking.
Xu Muhua concentrated on touching the cards without raising her eyelids, "No, I'm not tired, I'm energetic!"
Xu Nan made a bitter face and went to Xu Rui again, "Brother, are you tired? Do you want to take a break?"
"How can brother be tired? Nan, your brother is a man who kills enemies on the battlefield. With this little time and this little thing, I can continue for another day and night!"
Xu Nan:
Is that what he meant?
He glanced at Xu Jinyu and his eyes suddenly lit up, "But my second sister hasn't played yet? Big brother, why don't you let my second sister try?"
After he said this, Xu Rui did respond. He
looked at his parents first. It might not be possible to ask them to leave. They were his parents, and as a son, it was not easy for him to ask them to give in.
Mu Hua was his sister, but it was obvious from her expression that she was not ready to leave the table and give up her seat. If he offended her, he hadn't really mastered the rules of mahjong yet. What if she didn't teach him?
Well, it seemed that he had to give up his seat himself.
"Jinyu, do you want to try?"
Xu Rui asked Xu Jinyu.
Xu Jinyu wanted to refuse. This was something Xu Muhua had come up with. They were all rushing to it. She was very disdainful. It was just a card game. What was so special about it? But her mind was not as quick as her mouth.
"Okay."
Xu Jinyu
wanted to slap herself. She didn't want to play! Who made her agree to it on her own?
Xu Jinyu cursed in her heart, but she looked reserved. She sat down in Xu Rui's seat, a little eager to try.
Xu Muhua glanced at her, "Brother, why don't you sit next to Jinyu? In case Jinyu still doesn't know how to play, you can teach Jinyu. Jinyu, don't you agree?"
Xu Jinyu smiled and nodded, "Yeah."
But she snorted in her heart, she is not a fool, how could she not know how to play this? She, Xu Muhua, has played so well, she can't be much worse!
Xu Jinyu is ready to show her skills, let Xu Muhua have a good look at her to see if she can do it!
As a result, after one round, Xu Jinyu lost badly!
She looked at her cards in disbelief, not knowing how she lost. She clearly did what Xu Muhua said!
"Again!"
It must have been an accident just now!
But soon she lost badly again.
She was not convinced, "Come again!"
She just didn't believe she couldn't win!
Xu's mother understood her feelings very well. After all, she only won twice at the beginning, and then she kept losing. She realized that the reason she was able to win at the beginning must be that those people gave her a break!
But fortunately, now she has drawn good cards with her own ability!
Xu's mother subconsciously straightened her chest, Jinyu still has to take it slow!
Xu Rui looked at the stubbornness on Xu Jinyu's face and hesitated to speak.
If this goes on, will Jinyu not want to return the position to him?
Xu Nan's heart collapsed even more.
He was still counting on his second sister to show some respect and then say she didn't want to play anymore, and then he would take the position first before his eldest brother could react!
