After transmigrating into the book, the prime minister always wants to farm with me.

Chapter 442 Shi An's Mourning Face
After the competition, three people each received ten taels of silver.

The three of them had radiant smiles on their faces.

Everyone looked at them with smiles, as if they themselves had received an award.

After everyone got into the game, they started a mahjong competition. Whoever won the most money in the end would be the winner, receiving a prize of twenty taels of silver and the job of being the steward of the estate.

Immediately, everyone became envious and eagerly signed up to participate.

The steward in this manor was originally transferred from the Prince's mansion.

Pei Yuanjun wanted to find another one, but he was also a little uneasy.

Everyone in this manor was recruited by Shi An. For the safety of Qi Yunran and Bao'er, the background of each person for three generations was strictly investigated. Anyone whose identity is unknown is not hired.

Those recruited all signed indenture contracts, and only a small number of people were retained after strict selection and covert observation by the secret guards.

There were only forty or fifty servants on the estate, originally there to help the lady with farm work. But the lady left five years ago, so the estate was abandoned and guarded by secret guards. Only today, when Qi Yunran came, did he dare to come and take a look.

Anyone can ride a bicycle, but playing mahjong requires brainpower.

People who are not quick-witted may lose everything.

However, Pei Yuanjun was still very humane. The gambling money for each person was temporarily given to them by the secret guards. Whoever lost all their money first would be eliminated.

They also played mahjong in private, because Qi Yunran and Zhao Baoye's previous business included the production of mahjong sets, so playing mahjong in Louqu Kingdom five years later was no longer a novelty.

However, the bicycle didn't make an appearance because of the need to choose a different route.

Also, because she had mastered the method of manufacturing bicycles, it was impossible for anyone else to manufacture them on a large scale.

Once the mahjong game started, Qi Yunran's hands were itching to play a couple of rounds herself.

Finally, Pei Yuanjun called on Shi An and another man hidden in black to play a few rounds with her.

After a few laps, Shi An made an excuse to go to the toilet, and even the bodyguard who was completely hidden in black clothes twitched his lips slightly.

Qi Yunran was still enjoying herself; she had been lucky and won all afternoon while playing cards with four other people. Seeing Shi An's long face, she immediately tried to make her laugh.

Return all the silver I won from Shi An to him; it was quite a lot, a full ten thousand taels!
It is said that he saved this as his wife's dowry.

Qi Yunran was taken aback for a moment, then returned it to him.

Shi An was so moved that she cried tears of joy and almost knelt down to hug her leg.

After being swept away by Pei Yuanjun's cold gaze, he obediently clutched his money bag and left the mahjong table, never to play again.

However, the bodyguard dressed entirely in black, even his head concealed, remained expressionless.

Qi Yunran glanced at his purse; there were exactly three thousand taels, no more, no less. Compared to Shi An, he was much smarter.

In the end, we returned the money bag to him.

He gave her a grateful look and then said nothing more.

Qi Yunran ignored him and counted the silver notes in front of her again. It turned out that Pei Yuanjun had lost the most. All the wins she had made were due to Pei Yuanjun setting up winning hands for her, or he would discard a note that she could then win by discarding.

Several times she won a straight flush, all because he picked the winning hand for her.

He didn't win a single game all afternoon; he was really unlucky.

Seeing the sympathetic look in Qi Yunran's eyes, Pei Yuanjun's eyes twitched slightly.

He fed her cards discreetly, afraid she would notice; it must have been quite a struggle for him to play all afternoon.

After Qi Yunran's match ended, the winners of the next round were also decided. The final winner was a calm and composed middle-aged man named Cheng Jinshan.

Finally, the steward of the Prince's Mansion announced that Cheng Jinshan would be the steward of the estate from now on.

Then he was given another twenty taels of silver.
