Chapter 157 Let's work together
The three of them knew how many brothers and sisters Xu Rui had. But after Xu Rui left the capital, they had no reason to interact with the Chengguo Mansion. Xu Nan was still young and couldn't play together, and it was even more impossible for him to have any private contact with his two sisters.
So it was really hard to say that they knew each other well. They only knew their names roughly, and they almost forgot what they looked like.
Since they were going to talk about it, Xu Rui couldn't stop talking.
He boasted in front of his friends, not only about mahjong, but also about Xu Muhua picking them up. Of course, he was not stupid, and he skipped the details.
Yuan An and the other two were a little shocked.
"Really? How come I don't know that your sister has such a talent?"
Xu Rui glanced at him, "What do you know? You sound like you know my sister very well."
"I don't know, but don't we have a sister at home?"
What his own sister is like, shouldn't A Rui's sister be too different?
"How can they be compared!"
"A Rui, you are asking for a beating if you say that! Our sister is not bad, okay?"
"That's right!"
Yuan An touched the silent Feng Shaoqing, "Shaoqing, tell me if this is true?"
Feng Shaoqing raised his eyelids, "I don't have a sister, how should I know?"
Yuan An choked.
Yes, this guy has no sister, only a few brothers!
Xu Rui's next words completely stopped the two of them, "Can your sister figure out something as fun as mahjong? Would your sister dare to sneak out of the capital to pick you up because she's worried about you?"
No! Don't dare!
Yuan An and Liang Yichao answered at the same time in their hearts.
Xu Rui spread his hands, "That's it."
"Why have I never noticed that you like to show off so much?"
And he seems to be a bit vulgar! Did you learn it from the people there after going to the border? Too vulgar!
Does he still remember that when he was in the capital, he was also a famous elegant and noble man?
"It's a rare opportunity for me to come back, so what's wrong with showing off a little? I'm not like you guys, who can show off as much as you want in Beijing."
"I've never shown off my sister!"
Xu Rui stabbed him again, "That's because your sister has nothing to show off."
Yuan An, Liang Yichao: Draw your swords! They want to duel with Xu Rui!
Feng Shaoqing, who was concentrating on playing mahjong, suddenly said something shocking, "What do you think, if we open a mahjong parlor in Beijing, will the business be good?"
Yuan An and Liang Yichao, who were about to duel with Xu Rui, looked up at him with their eyes shining. Even Xu Rui was stunned for a moment.
Open a mahjong parlor?
"That's a great idea!"
Yuan An didn't even want to play mahjong anymore!
"I think it's OK! I believe that once the gameplay of mahjong is promoted, many people will like it and become addicted to it! Isn't it more fun than playing cards?"
Liang Yichao was also excited by this idea.
"It's not difficult to open a mahjong parlor. The difficult thing is that only Arui's sister knows the gameplay of mahjong best. So..."
Feng Shaoqing looked at Xu Rui and smiled slightly, "Can I lend it to your sister?"
Xu Rui refused without hesitation, "No! How can my sister be involved in such a thing?"
It doesn't take much explanation to know that the mahjong parlor they are talking about is definitely not a simple mahjong parlor. If Mu Hua is involved in such a thing, it will affect her reputation!
"What's wrong? We just want to know how to play mahjong. We don't want your sister to open a mahjong parlor. Why are you nervous?"
"That's right. Can we cheat your sister? A'Rui, this is almost a money-making opportunity. The God of Wealth has come to your door. Can you still turn him away?"
In order to make him relax, Yuan An said eloquently, "And, A'Rui, you can also join in this matter. In this way, wouldn't you have money to send to the barracks to improve the conditions in the army? Wouldn't you have money to settle those wounded and disabled soldiers? Can't you pay back the money you owe us?"
Xu Rui glared at him when he heard this, "It's the same if I don't pay it back!"
But there is no money now!
"If you pay it back after ten or eight years..."
What's the point?
Xu Rui also wanted to pay it back, but he was really short of money.
Thinking about it this way, it seems that he really needs to think of a way to make money.
"Are you sure there won't be any trouble opening a mahjong parlor?"
Mu Hua said that this thing can't be played to your heart's content without putting some money in it. This thing that has to do with money...
"What are you afraid of? Aren't there enough places in the capital that specialize in playing cards?"
Besides, if they do it, they will definitely do it seriously. When this new thing of mahjong becomes popular among the nobles, no one will dare to touch their mahjong parlor!
Xu Rui thought about it and it was the same truth.
Yuan An saw that he was tempted and said, "So you should ask your sister quickly!"
Let's see how many ways to play mahjong there are and how to play it.
Xu Rui pondered for a moment and said, "Okay, I'll ask Mu Hua tomorrow to see if she's willing to talk. Let me be frank, if she doesn't want to talk, I won't force her, and you can't force her either!"
Yuan An rolled his eyes, "Why didn't I realize you were so protective of your sister before?"
"Okay, don't wait until tomorrow, it's still early, just go and ask! We can go together!"
Xu Rui glared, dreaming!
In order to prevent these three people from personally teaching his sister a lesson, Xu Rui had to get up and go to Fenghua Garden.
Xu Rui was a little embarrassed at first, thinking that as the eldest brother, doing this was simply setting a bad example for his younger brothers and sisters. It was Xu Mu Hua who saw through it and asked him to speak his mind, so he spoke out the three people's thoughts.
He originally thought that his sister might be disgusted and object after hearing it, but he never expected that as soon as he finished speaking, he saw her clapping her hands happily and said, "This is a good idea! I had this idea the other day, but I was a woman and it would be difficult to implement. Now that your friend has this idea, why don't we sit down and talk about it and cooperate together!"
She really thought about using this to make money, but then she thought about her current status. If she really opened a mahjong parlor, she believed that trouble would come to her in no time.
She currently does not have the ability to gain a foothold in the capital on her own.
In this case, finding a reliable backer to cooperate with is the most appropriate way.
