"Bah!" Feng Yinu blushed and pulled Ding Du to the track: "Saisai, let's ignore him. Let's get ready and cook. I'm hungry."
Ding Dusai nodded in agreement, but said to Zhang Shixun, "Go and do your own thing. Don't worry about us."
Zhang Shixun agreed repeatedly, went into the house, picked up the mahjong and left.
Gao Yanei was pacing anxiously in the front yard. Seeing Zhang Shixun coming back, he said, "How can you be like this? You forgot about us when you saw the beauty. We are all waiting for you."
As soon as he entered the main hall, Prince Yun asked anxiously, "Have you brought the fun things you mentioned?"
Zhang Shixun remained silent, pointing to the box in his hand, "This is something fun."
"Quick! Let me see."
Zhang Shixun put the mahjong on the table and opened it. Prince Yun, Zhang Hu and others lay on the table and watched.
Prince Yun picked up a mahjong tile, looked at it carefully, and asked Zhang Shixun, "Tell me, how do you play this?"
Zhang Shixun moved the table and placed it in the middle of the main hall. He spread a felt mat on it, coughed lightly, and said solemnly, "Let me make it clear first. You can have fun, but you must not indulge in this."
Gao Yanei asked, "Brother, are you saying that this thing can easily make people obsessed?"
"That's right, this thing is so fun, it's easy to get addicted." Zhang Shixun said, putting the mahjong on the table, "All four of you sit down, one on each side, and I'll teach you."
As soon as he finished speaking, Prince Yun had already taken the chair to the north.
As the "Dragon Son", this is his favorite position.
After the four of them sat down, Gao Yanei picked up a card, looked at the pattern on it and asked, "This bird is well drawn."
"That's called Yaoji." Zhang Shixun took out several kinds of cards and began to explain to them what strips, cakes, and Wan are; what east, west, south, north, center, hair, and white are... Then he started to explain the rules of the game. The four of them were smart and learned it immediately.
After a few rounds, the four of them had mastered the basic gameplay.
"Fun! Fun!" Prince Yun suggested excitedly as he shuffled the cards, "Why don't we add some prizes? What do you think?"
Zhang Hu was delighted when he heard this. "That's great! It's exactly what I want."
Prince Yun looked at Gao Yanei and He Ji. "Where are you two?"
He Ji was easygoing and said, "I will listen to your Highness."
Gao Yanei warned: "Your Highness, this is not good. The government has expressly forbidden gambling."
He was addicted to gambling, and when he heard Prince Yun say that he wanted to increase the prize, he was actually very happy.
"Yanei, you're stupid." He Ji glared at him, "Have you forgotten what day it is?"
After being reminded by He Ji, Gao Yanei grinned widely, patted his forehead, and said embarrassedly: "How could I forget about this? It's the New Year now, and the blog is open, hehe!"
Prince Yun took out a large piece of silver and gently placed it on the table. "Do you all have money?"
"Of course we did." Gao Yanei and He Ji also took out silver and put it on the table.
Zhang Hu raised his head and said to Zhang Shixun, "I will return the silver to you in a few days."
Zhang Shixun was puzzled. "I don't think I lent you any money."
"It's not too late for you to lend it to me now."
Everyone laughed.
"You, old Taoist priest, are not a honest person. If you want to borrow money from me, just tell me directly. Why beat around the bush?" Zhang Shixun smiled and took out a large piece of silver from his sleeve and threw it to him.
Prince Yun looked at them and asked, "Tell me, what's the stake?"
Zhang Hu said casually: "Whatever!"
He Ji said: "It doesn't matter."
Gao Yanei stared at the piece of silver from Prince Yun and said, "The bigger the better!"
Prince Yun nodded in agreement. "Ping Hu is one tael, Zitou is two taels, and the banker doubles it. What do you think?"
"Okay! Let's do it." Zhang Hu stroked his beard, very satisfied.
However, Zhang Hu became dissatisfied afterwards.
When it was Prince Yun's turn to be the banker, he drew a card himself.
Zhang Hu lost four taels of silver in one go.
"Brother Shixun, please lend me one hundred taels of silver, excluding the amount I just borrowed."
Zhang Shixun was not afraid that he would default on the debt, so he went back to his study to get the silver and handed it to Zhang Hu: "Here are ninety-five taels of silver, all in one-tael pieces, so you won't have to worry about the change."
"Very good! I'll return it to you in two days."
Zhang Shixun then said to Prince Yun, "Your Highness, give me one ounce of silver."
Prince Yun was stunned: "Why?"
"Whenever you touch the mahjong by yourself, you have to give the host a commission of one or two taels. This is the rule of playing mahjong." Zhang Shixun said, taking out a small bamboo basket and placing it beside the table.
You can't accompany them for free, you have to get a cut.
"It's what you deserve." Prince Yun threw a tael of silver into the bamboo basket and shouted excitedly, "Keep going! I won't give up until I win all your silver today."
Zhang Hu was dissatisfied and said, "Your Highness, don't brag. Who knows who will win in the end."
The four of them were bickering and playing cards at the same time.
Seeing that they were already familiar with each other, Zhang Shixun stopped accompanying them and went to Wang Dong's house in the heavy snow.
Wang Dong had already gotten up and was sitting in the main room eating and drinking. His two concubines were on his left and right, stuffing food into his mouth non-stop.
Zhang Shixun smiled and teased, "Old Wang, this is the legendary blessing of having two wives."
"Hello, uncle!" Xiao Qian stood up and bowed politely.
"Hello, sister-in-law!" Zhang Shixun returned the greeting and asked with a smile, "Why isn't Taoqi here?"
"He, after dinner, he went off to play somewhere."
"You come to me so early in the morning just to mock me?" Wang Dong asked vaguely while chewing a piece of pig's head.
"Wang Dong, let me remind you, it's already past noon."
Wang Dong waved his hand. “For me, this is early in the morning.”
"Of course, you decide your own time. I won't interfere."
"Tell me, what are you doing here again?" Wang Dong said, reaching into Zaohuaer's arms.
Zhang Shixun turned away embarrassedly, secretly cursing Wang Dong as a good-for-nothing.
Wang Dong was a little unhappy when he saw that he turned his face away in an exaggerated manner, "Zhang Shixun, you have a dirty heart."
"Am I unclean, or are you unclean?" Zhang Shixun turned to look at him and saw Wang Dong wiping his mouth with a handkerchief.
"I just took out a handkerchief from my wife's arms to wipe my mouth, but you turned your face away. What does that mean?" Wang Dong wiped his mouth clean and stuffed the handkerchief back into Zaohua'er's arms. He said, "If you were pure in heart, you wouldn't have such bad thoughts."
Xiao Qian looked at Zhang Shixun's embarrassed expression and couldn't help but lower her head and cover her mouth with her hands to laugh.
Zhang Shixun decided not to discuss the issue of "purity" with Wang Dong and asked him, "How do you charge your PDA?"
"Just give it to Bai Wuchang. The battery on him is fully charged."
"Are there any other ways to charge my computer? I can't come to Gao Village every time I need to charge my computer, right?"
