On the night of April 25, the tenth year of the Xuanli calendar, there were numerous stars and a crescent moon in the night sky of Jinling.
After having dinner early, Dong Shulan, Yu Wenyun, Yan Xiaolou and Su Rou sat at the mahjong table in Li Chenxuan.
Playing mahjong has now become their main entertainment activity.
At this point, Su Rou would never embroider again, and Yu Wenjun would never sew baby clothes again.
Four women sat at a table, the sound of mahjong clattering could be heard, each of them was extremely skilled.
"I went to the palace today, and my mother said my husband is on his way back. He should be home around... around... around the 28th."
"Nine...but the next is Enke, after choosing someone...wait, it's 30,000...after choosing someone, he will probably have to leave for Wofeng Road." Dong Shulan said as he played a two-tube.
"You missed it?... Ten thousand. Grandpa said that many people have left Wofeng Road. Hey, hey, hey, Gang Jiu Tong... Only a small half of the people from Yi Country who were originally in Wofeng Road have left. Many people are left behind." Yan Xiaolou said as he played a card of sixty thousand.
"Bang..." Su Rou smiled, "Don't be distracted, I have a clean hand, and I'm listening."
"Will you still let me draw some cards? I still have a bad hand!" Yu Wenjun pouted, but then said, "The three people my husband sent to Wofeng Road are very capable. They asked my eldest brother's army to maintain order and made good arrangements for the over 300,000 people pouring into Wofeng Road. I estimate that those three people will stay in Wofeng Road and be used by my husband, otherwise my father will come to my husband to ask for them."
"You can't give it to me. My husband needs to train some capable subordinates. Otherwise, how can he be free and easy? Eighty thousand." Yan Xiaolou was looking at his cards happily, but unexpectedly Su Rou laughed, "It's a tie, three straight!"
Yan Xiaolou had a face full of resentment, and Dong Shulan chuckled, "Sister Rou, with such good cards, it would be great if she could win three of them, including self-draw and draw."
"I'm not greedy. Every time I'm greedy, I'll just go crazy... Is there any news about Su Jue?"
Yu Wenjun touched a card with two strips. "I knew you'd remember it. I asked, and they said that my eldest brother went to Western Rong with the Third Brigade of the Divine Sword. They happened to encounter Prince Hui's Black Guards in Wenshan... bang bang bang eight strips... They were led by Crown Prince Yu Le. Victory news has arrived. Yu Le's head is on its way to Jinling. Su Mo has subdued 80,000 Black Guards and is leading them to Western Rong."
"About when can you come back?"
"I don't know, but it probably won't be long, definitely before you give birth."
After a few rounds of cards, Yan Xiaolou gave Dong Shulan another shot, but it was a fart, and one or two taels of silver were gone.
She sighed, not really firing a shot, "Sister Shulan and I are due to give birth in October, and he happens to be busy at Wofeng Road... I don't know if he'll be able to come back... Qi Tiao."
"Haha, I match too, seven of a kind."
"Didn't you say it was a bad hand?"
"When luck strikes, every hand I draw is a good one."
Yan Xiaolou took out her purse and pouted, "I don't think my luck is good today. Come on, each of you has one ounce, and Sister Rou... four ounces. I will win it back!"
Continue rubbing it.
"Our mahjong is selling extremely well right now and has become a hit throughout Jinling. I think we should open mahjong workshops in other places."
"What's the profit of this thing?" Yu Wenjun didn't care about business matters and asked casually at this moment.
"Five times the profit!" Dong Shulan said with a bright smile. "The mahjong we sell now is carved from wood. I don't think it looks impressive enough when played with. I'm thinking of using stone. I'm also thinking of making a batch of high-end mahjong using jade, so I can sell a set for 1,800 taels of silver."
Yan Xiaolou was stunned: "Who would buy it if it's so expensive?"
"Hehe, don't underestimate the rich. Besides, I plan to sell more of this jade mahjong to the Wu Dynasty."
"They won't."
"How simple is this thing? At worst, I can just make an instruction manual and have my second brother find a few people to learn it and spread the word... Or maybe I can just ask my father-in-law directly. He's the emperor now, so he doesn't want to let outsiders take away the wealth. I wonder if our products have also become the imperial merchants of the Wu Dynasty?"
"Fan State can also be sold. My husband and Fan Tianning...that's the Thirteenth Prince. Aren't they good friends?"
"We can't spare the time now. We can't travel far. Let's wait until the child is born and grown up before considering Fan State. Didn't my father-in-law buy a manor in Fan State? Let's go there to play and see how the business is done."
"That's a good idea. When we get to Fan Country, we'll have to ask the leader of the Buddhist sect to bless our children and ask for a consecrated object to ensure their safe growth."
"I heard that the Sect Master rarely performs consecration rituals for others."
"Our husband is different. You don't know this because you haven't been to Wu Dynasty. Our husband enlightened his disciple Ku Chan."
"...Could it be that my husband also understands the Buddhist teachings?"
"My husband knows a lot of things."
The four women were playing mahjong and chattering, and the Fu Mansion was filled with a sense of peace and tranquility under the night sky.
However, in the darkness of the night, two assassins from the Moon Worship Sect's secret door quietly approached. They flew to the roof, but before they could jump into the yard, a voice suddenly rang in their ears:
"The ladies are playing mahjong, please don't disturb them."
"Who...?" The two killers were shocked. They were first-rate masters, but they had not noticed anyone behind them until now!
"Oh, let me introduce myself. I'm Jia Nanxing, the concierge of the Fu Mansion... Are you going to commit suicide or wait for me to take action?"
The two were shocked. This was Jia Nanxing, a Saint-level master!
What the hell, we have been fooled by the Holy Son. Isn't it said that there is only one third senior sister from the Taoist temple in the Fu Mansion? How did Jia Nanxing become the doorman of the Fu Mansion?
Of course, they were unwilling to surrender. As soon as they drew their two swords, Eunuch Jia sighed, "Alas... you are overestimating your own abilities!"
Before he finished speaking, he threw two punches, and in the eyes of the two assassins, two plum blossoms suddenly blossomed.
Use the power of fist to manifest like a plum blossom!
What a skill!
Before their swords could be swung, two plum blossom petals suddenly floated over.
Each petal was a sharp sword intent. He actually used his fist to turn the plum blossoms into sword intent, and the plum blossoms into sword intent. Thousands of sword intents appeared in the petals in an instant.
Two streams of blood suddenly splashed, painting the petals of the plum blossom a bright red.
Eunuch Jia stretched out his hand and grabbed the two bodies. He stood up and threw the two bodies into Xuanwu Lake.
He returned to the roof, looked at the peaceful scene in Li Chenxuan across the street, and immediately laughed.
"Your Highness, I think you should marry a few more to fill up the two tables. The royal bloodline of the Wu family depends on you!"
He looked for a moment and then left. Li Chenxuan was still playing mahjong, and only Su Rou glanced out imperceptibly.
