Yu Tanqi had no reason to refuse Jiang Shi.
She had no choice but to stand up and said, "Okay, then sit down and I'll teach you how to play."
Linlang and the other two were a little uneasy.
Especially Dan Hua, can they really play mahjong with their master?
My God, this was something she would never dare to imagine in her dreams.
Doesn’t the master really think that playing mahjong is not a proper job?
Jiang Shi sat upright on the chair where Yu Tanqi had sat, with his eyes slightly tilted, listening carefully to Yu Tanqi's explanation of the rules of Mahjong.
After Yu Tanqi explained the rules, he said, "Actually, no matter how much I explain, it's better to try it yourself. This is very simple, you'll get the hang of it after a few rounds."
Jiang Shi nodded slightly: "Then Tan Qi, you teach me how to play first."
"Okay, let's shuffle the cards." Yu Tanqi reached out to push the mahjong cards in front of Jiang Shi's table.
Seeing this, Linlang and the other two quickly reached out to push the cards away.
"Miss, let's shuffle the cards."
They quickly shuffled the cards. According to the rules, the winner of the previous hand had the first chance to roll the dice and draw a card. Linlang said cautiously, "Prince, please draw the cards first."
Jiang Shi said gently, "Let's follow the rules. The winner of the previous round rolls the dice and draws the cards."
He had a good memory and remembered the rules just by listening to Yu Tanqi explain them once.
Linlang had no choice but to roll the dice and draw the cards.
Different from the relaxed feeling when they were playing mahjong with Yu Tanqi, Linlang and the other two were now sitting upright, feeling uncomfortable.
This is the gentle and kind Prince Jiang. He should be sitting at the desk with a book in his hands, instead of sitting around the card table playing cards with servants like them. This makes them feel as if a god has fallen into the mortal world.
The three people at the table all chose to fold.
We can’t let Prince Jiang lose too badly.
After all, all men care about their reputation, and even the gentle and kind Prince Jiang should be no exception.
Yu Tanqi had no idea what they were thinking. She was earnestly helping and teaching Jiang Shi how to recognize and arrange the cards.
"Put this and this together so you can easily see which cards you need and discard the ones you don't want..."
The girl leaned against his side, her sweet and soft fragrance invading his breath, and her black hair touched his cheek a little, causing waves of tingling and numbness.
Jiang Shi pursed his lips tightly, his long dark eyes quietly looking at her fair and slender hands.
"Hurry up, it's your turn to draw a card." Yu Tanqi reminded.
"Okay." He reached out and accidentally touched her hand on the table.
She looked at the cards in his hand intently, "I don't want this card, throw it away."
"good."
Perhaps it was because newbies all had a protection period, Jiang Shi’s first hand was pretty good. After a few rounds of cards, he quickly won by pushing the cards.
Yu Tanqi said happily, as if he had won, "The winner can draw four tiles. If there are 1, 5, 9 and a red middle tile, you can get four more numbers, and each number is worth one penny. Come on, draw the tiles and see how lucky you are."
"Okay." Jiang Shi reached out and touched four cards. When he opened them, he saw that the four numbers were exactly one, five, nine and red.
Yu Tanqi exclaimed: "Oh my god, your luck is so good, you are worthy of being in the novice protection period!"
"What's the novice protection period?" She would occasionally say something he didn't quite understand, which made him very curious.
"People who have just learned to play Mahjong are all novices. Novices will have good luck when playing cards. For example, you won this round very smoothly, and you got four numbers at once, so you can earn fifteen cents in one hand." Yu Tanqi explained with a smile.
"I see."
Linlang and the other two hurriedly counted the copper coins and placed them on Jiang Shi's table.
Yu Tanqi: "Come again, I want to see if you can keep winning today."
Linlang and the other two: Of course.
In order to make the two masters have fun, Linlang and the other two took great pains.
Although you need to give in, you can't do it too deliberately. This will not only not make the master happy, but will make the master unhappy.
Linlang was able to gain the young lady's trust, so naturally she knew best how to please her. Not only did she let her go without any trace of performance, she even occasionally made an anxious sigh.
"Why can't I draw a good card..."
Taohua, who was standing next to her, glanced at her and was filled with admiration.
After all, they are both personal maids who have been with the young lady since childhood. Linlang can accompany the young lady out, but she can only stay in the mansion. If she had half of Linlang's cleverness and adaptability, she would have been able to go to the palace to broaden her horizons at the Mid-Autumn Palace Banquet last month.
By the second round, Jiang Shi already had a rough idea of how to play Majiang.
But his card-laying movements were still clumsy.
When Yu Tanqi saw this, she would reach out to help him arrange the cards, and occasionally her white and slender fingers would touch him inadvertently.
She was looking at his cards seriously, not realizing that the boy next to her was a little absent-minded, his eyes always falling on her white and tender fingers.
Jiang Shi's Adam's apple rolled slowly, and he lowered his eyes slightly. His fair and beautiful face looked holy, as if he was in a study room filled with the fragrance of books and ink, rather than a card table filled with the smell of money.
However, he gently pushed the cards with his pale, slender fingers and won again.
This time he drew a card, and there were only two numbers.
The second time I won nine cents.
Yu Tanqi secretly sighed, he is worthy of being the male lead, he has such good luck.
Thinking about how she lost more than eighty cents in less than an hour, she was really envious.
No, she could no longer control her jealousy.
Yu Tanqi pretended to be calm and said, "I won't help you with the third hand. You can play it by yourself."
"good."
In the third round without Yu Tanqi's help, Jiang Shi was a little flustered and actually played two cards that he shouldn't have played.
Yu Tanqi saw it and felt a little anxious, but he still covered his mouth and didn't say anything to remind him.
This is a mistake that novices must make, and she has to endure it.
But his cards are really good.
Yu Tanqi looked at the cards on Jiang Shi's table with great envy.
Linlang and the other two have been trying their best to let Jiang Shi win, but he still can't win.
Seeing that the cards on the table were almost used up, Linlang quietly raised Taohua's hand, indicating that she should win the game. She couldn't let the young lady and the prince see that they were deliberately letting the game go.
Taohua couldn't help but glare at her, why aren't you the one to win the game?
Linlang looked helpless: I also want to win, but I don’t have any cards to win.
Taohua pursed her lips: I wouldn’t believe you.
However, Linlang did not win, so Taohua could only win by pushing the cards himself.
There was not a single number on the few cards left, so she only won three cents.
Yu Tanqi couldn't help but say to Jiang Shi, "Actually, you shouldn't have thrown away those cards just now..."
Jiang Shi lowered his eyes, smelled the girl's sweet and soft fragrance, and the corners of his lips rose slightly.
He sighed softly, "The first two rounds were won thanks to Tan Qi's help. This time, without Tan Qi's help, I was a little flustered and didn't know how to play the cards."
"It's okay, you've only played a few games. You'll get it after playing a few more. You have to take your time with everything." Yu Tanqi whispered to comfort him.
Jiang Shi pursed his lips slightly and whispered, "I'm stupid, Tan Qi, can you help me play a few more games? Once I learn it, I can play with you."
