After marrying a rough man, I played mahjong to support Shoufu

Chapter 213
The mahjong parlor in Beijing has a magnificent name, Tianque Tower.

After Shen Xian explained her purpose, the female attendant in charge of reception verified Shen Xian's identity and recorded her ID card.

Playing mahjong in Beijing also requires an entrance fee, which is expensive, as much as 50 taels a month.

After paying the money, Shen Xian took his ID card and went up to the second floor by himself, looking for games that lack people.

The rules of Tianque Tower are similar to those of the mahjong hall in the state capital. They are all self-playing games. If they defeat an opponent with a higher ranking than themselves, they can replace that person's ranking.

And the ranking of the loser will be reduced by one, so the ranking of Tianque Tower will change a lot every day, which consumes countless manpower and material resources.

Although Shen Xian likes to play mahjong, but seeing the court spend all the money on this kind of place, he is still a little speechless.

Shen Xian walked along the aisle on the second floor until it reached the end, but he didn't find any vacant seats there, and there was even a queue in front of some chess and card rooms.

"There are too many people."

Shen Xian watched the people coming and going, with anxious, excited, or fanatical eyes.

Looking at this scene, Shen Xian was a little puzzled, these people's hobbies for mahjong must have gone too far.

After waiting for half an hour, Shen Xian finally got a seat in line.

On a square table, neatly arranged mahjong tables, surrounded by two men and two women.

Shen Xian took a quick look. The young lady sitting opposite her had a cold expression, she was dressed like a martial artist, and there was a heroic look in her brows.

On the left and right sides of the man, one has gray hair and the top of his head has withered. After Shen Xian came in, he kept pulling back the few hairs.

The man on the other side, in his twenties, glanced across Shen Xian's face from time to time, but never dared to meet his eyes, he seemed a little shy and reserved.

There was no pleasantries, no politeness, the young lady on the opposite side said something indifferently, and everyone started playing mahjong one after another.

During the match, people kept passing by outside the door, anxiously looking for the match.

Shen Xian looked back frequently, his brows were filled with puzzlement.

Seeing that Shen Xian was absent-minded, the woman on the opposite side reminded him in a cold voice: "Can you be more serious, otherwise, even if I win, I feel that the victory is invincible."

Shen Xian immediately apologized after hearing the words: "I'm sorry, I just feel that everyone is very anxious coming and going, so I'm a little curious, and I will seriously play the game."

The cold girl was silent, and said nothing more.

The old man on the left played an idle card, and then said with a smile: "Young lady has just arrived in Tianque Tower not long ago."

"Yes, I just came here today."

The old man showed such an expression, and continued: "Then you came a step late, and you haven't seen those beautiful people."

"Landscape?"

Shen Xian's tone became more and more suspicious, how could playing mahjong have anything to do with scenery.

The old man touched and played cards, talking with eloquence.

"Only a month ago, the top ten people in Tianque Pavilion were summoned by the regent, and all three of them became extremely rich. Today, there are more than 1000 people in Tianque Pavilion who are not greedy."

As soon as Shen Xian heard that there were three regents, he immediately became interested.

"Can the old man talk about it in detail?"

As soon as he heard the word "old man", the old man suddenly became unhappy.

"Who do you say is old? I'm young!"

Shen Xian was stunned, and quickly apologized, but the old man ignored her no matter what he said.

This behavior confuses the young lady opposite.

"My girl, there are so many people in the Tianque Building, they all play mahjong for the sake of wealth and wealth. Why do you look like you don't know anything?"

Shen Xian tangles her fingers around her hair, feeling a little depressed in her heart, why, it's not because she is a soul traveler.

"I like to play mahjong, so I..."

The woman nodded, and said in a calm tone: "My name is Hongye. If you want to know about these things, I will tell you after the game is over. Now I hope you can play cards well and don't chat."

Shen Xian immediately shut up after hearing the words, thinking that this young lady is very strict.

After less than half an hour of effort, the four of them played mahjong twice, and both ended in Shen Xian's victory.

Hongye frowned, as if a little unconvinced, she stood up after a long silence.

"I won't call anymore. If you have any questions to ask, just go out with me and talk."

Upon hearing this, Shen Xian immediately stood up and followed Hongye out.

Unfamiliar with the capital, Shen Xian kept a vigilant mind, and did not fully trust this woman named Hong Ye.

"Sister Hongye, please help me clarify my doubts, let me treat you to a cup of tea."

Hong Ye nodded neatly, and looked at Shen Xian very frankly.

"Alright, I'll answer your question. If you buy me tea, you don't owe anyone."

Shen Xian smiled politely, and took the initiative to take the red leaves to the teahouse he saw along the way.

After ordering a cup of hot tea and a plate of snacks, Shen Xian and Hong Ye knelt on the cushions.

Hongye drank the tea openly, without beating around the bush.

"In the Tianque Building, anyone who can reach the top ten on the ranking list will have a chance to be summoned by the regent king. Once you reach this point, you will be able to get riches and honors at your fingertips."

As soon as Shen Xian heard it, he thought to himself, good guy, no wonder Liang Guo's mahjong is so popular, the regent is really willing to spend his money.

When she was in Yongle County before, Shen Xian had heard of such nonsense, but she was skeptical at that time, and never thought it was true.

"As long as you can play mahjong with the regent, will you be rewarded?"

Hong Ye picked up a small snack and quickly put it in her mouth, a little smile appeared in her eyes, but after raising her head to meet Shen Xian's eyes, the smile quickly disappeared.

"Yes, not entirely. If you are not sensible, you may lose your head."

A series of question marks appeared on Shen Xian's little head, what is sensible?Could it be that he gave way to the regent?
Jiang Shenxian showed doubts, and Hongye continued to explain: "The regent's card skills are very superb, it is difficult to find an opponent in Liang Guo, but mahjong is a game of luck after all, it is inevitable that there will be times when you are not lucky."

Shen Xian thought for a while, and asked tentatively: "So when playing chess, everyone will lose on purpose, or they will lose their heads?"

"Not bad." Hongye gave a very positive answer.

The veins on Shen Xian's forehead were throbbing, he wished he could use a screwdriver to completely dismantle the system, it actually set himself a death-defying task, this is a pit for himself!

Hong Ye sent out the teacup, and she could see something abnormal from Shen Xian's expression.

"Why does the girl look unhappy?"

Shen Xian picked up a small handful of snacks and put them in his mouth, chewing them with a click.

"You can't play mahjong well, how can you not get angry."

Hong Ye narrowed her eyes slightly when she heard this, and looked at Shen Xian meaningfully.

Shen Xian felt a little uncomfortable being looked at by her, and asked hesitantly: "Why are you looking at me like that?"

"Because it's the first time I've heard someone say something wrong with the regent in public."
