peasant girl wedding

Chapter 252 Poker
Tong Zhi'er said: "Grandmother, father, mother, and second mother, today is a day of celebration, presumably at the border, and my uncle is also celebrating like us. My uncle, apart from myself, is helping countless people's happiness and well-being. Uncle is a great hero."

"Okay, well said."

Ji Chang laughed.

Although the second lady had no expression on her face, she was happy in her heart.

How could she be unhappy when her son was praised?

The atmosphere at the dinner table eased a little, and the meal was finally eaten peacefully.

Ji Li was called to the study by Ji Chang to talk.

Tong Zhi'er returned to her yard.

She looked at the sky in the distance, thinking in her heart: I don't know if this year's Chinese New Year will be the same as usual for parents?
.........

"Hurry up, give me your hand, it's hot."

Fang Cuiwei hurriedly brought over a bowl of fish soup, Tong Zhixin walked over, took it steadily with his big hand, and put it on the table.

"Why didn't you call me just now?"

Tong Zhixin looked at her reddened palms and frowned.

Fang Cuiwei said: "I didn't feel hot when I first picked it up, but after walking ten steps, it's already very hot."

"Mom, wipe it for you."

Tong Zhu'er brought a box of cooling oil and handed it to Fang Cuiwei.

There were still a dozen or so dishes in the kitchen that had not been served, and they were placed on the lid of another cooking pot.

Tong Zhu'er and Tong Zhaofu went to the kitchen, put the dishes on the wooden box, and they brought them out.

Fang Cuiwei looked at the wooden box in a daze.

"This is what Zhi'er asked you to do."

Tong Zhixin's expression was also a little dazed, "I don't know how Zhi'er is doing now, she and the new uncle will have to wait for several months before returning home."

After the food was set, Tong Zhixin went outside to light firecrackers and then closed the door.

…………

"Young lady."

Xiao Tao's voice brought back Tong Zhi'er's thoughts.

"Young Madam, it's cold outside, let's sit inside."

Tong Zhi'er nodded, and Xiao Tao and Qiao'er followed her into the house.

Idle is idle, Tong Zhi'er made a deck of cards, handed over the rules to Xiao Tao and Qiao'er, and the three of them started playing.

It's just for fun, and it doesn't say money, but the loser will have a turtle on his face.

At first, Xiaotao and Qiaoer were a little embarrassed to have the turtle on their faces.

However, after the fifth round, the interest of the two of them was completely aroused.

Qiao'er doesn't talk much on weekdays, but she is very clever in playing cards, and she quickly mastered the tricks.

On the other hand, Xiaotao made some mistakes from time to time.

It doesn't hurt Tong Zhi'er, but for Qiao'er, if she and Xiao Tao are in the same family, she can only lose regretfully when her teammates frequently make up for their swords.

"Little Tao, that's not how you play this one. You should do this. Give this pair first. The young lady has never made a pair. Obviously, there is no pair in hand, or it is a very big pair. You first give it away. After the pair is given..."

After a round, Qiaoer lectures Xiaotao.

Little Tao listened with a blushing face and bright eyes.

After Qiao'er finished explaining, she shuffled the cards, Tong Zhi'er pocketed the cards, and Xiao Tao was about to draw the first card when there was a knock on the door.

Xiao Tao got up immediately, opened the door, and said in surprise, "Second Madam?"

"Hmph, you little girl, how dare you not let me in because you're a filmmaker?"

Xiao Tao stepped aside immediately.

"Second mother."

Tong Zhi'er stood up and called out.

The second lady ignored her and put her eyes on the table.

She had been standing at the door for a while, and when she heard "a couple" from inside the room, "bomb" and "three belts and one" again, her heart was tickled.

Can't bear it anymore, this is the knock on the door.

"what is this?"

The second lady sat down in Xiaotao's place and picked up the cards.

If the visitor doesn't find fault, of course Tong Zhi'er won't just drive him away.

She returned to her seat and sat down, and said, "Playing cards."

"Tell me the rules."

"Well, this is..."

Immediately, Tong Zhi'er told the second lady what she said to Xiao Tao and Qiao'er.

The second lady was obviously very interested. After listening to the rules, she asked for a game.

So, when Ji Li came out of his father's study and went back to his own yard, what he saw was his daughter-in-law and second mother together with Qiao'er. The three of them had something on their faces, holding things in their hands. shout.

…………

The servants of the Duke's Mansion found that the relationship between the second wife and the young lady seems to be particularly good recently.

After getting up in the morning, after breakfast, the second lady ran to the young lady's room.

This made the girls amazed.

"Ma'am, what do you think is going on here?"

In the yard, Mammy said suspiciously.

The eldest lady poured a cup of tea, held the tea in her hand, waited for a while before taking a sip, and said: "No matter what you do, it's considered a good thing if she doesn't cause trouble."

"Ma'am, why don't we go and have a look?"

The eldest lady shook her head, "There are many things to be busy in the house, so I won't take care of them."

Recently, the second wife felt that Tong Zhi'er was a very clever girl.

With a deck of playing cards, she was able to play several different games, which really opened her eyes.

On this day, the second lady's little friend sent her an invitation.

The second lady thought, if there is a good thing, she must share it with her friends, and she immediately asked Tong Zhi'er to give her the deck of playing cards.

Tong Zhi'er agreed without saying a word.

The second lady was stunned for a moment, and finally let go of her prejudice against Tong Zhi'er.

Regardless of her background, this girl is actually a pretty good girl.

However, Tong Zhi'er's generosity really baffles Xiao Tao and Qiao'er.

The two didn't dare to preach or blame Tong Zhi'er, they just sullenly got angry.

After getting along for so long, Tong Zhi'er knew about the temper of the two girls, so she even asked about it.

"Young Madam, why did you give the playing cards to the Second Madam, and you will be gone from now on."

Xiao Tao's face was flushed, thinking of the second lady's proud smile when she won a poker card, she couldn't help being angry.

Tong Zhi'er blinked, and suddenly smiled.

"Young Madam..."

"Poker is a trivial matter, I will just make another deck in the future."

Xiaotao and Qiaoer's eyes sparkled, "When will Young Madam do it?"

"Well, in a few days, there are several families who are leaving recently."

"Well, young lady, what do you want to prepare, just tell me and I to prepare."

"Thicker paper, feathers, ink, scissors, that's about it."

…………

"Hey, sister, the playing cards you brought are really fun."

"Haha, can I bring something fun?"

The second lady said triumphantly.

It's not interesting for two people to play. After the little friend brought a woman who got along better, the three of them started playing.

When the second lady returned home, this poker game spread in the circle of the capital.

The rules are simple, but what cards you catch depends on luck.

Caught a good hand, does not necessarily win.

Just because you've caught a bad hand doesn't mean you're guaranteed to lose.

This kind of game immediately made the female relatives of all the prefectures like it, and it is the best to pass the time in their spare time.

However, this game was resisted by scholars.

One, poker is too rustic, not as high-end as Go.

Second, poker is easy to play and lose one's mind, while Go is to exercise the mind.

To sum up the above two points, playing cards are not liked by scholars.

However, other men, especially the men in the casino, liked this poker game very much.

In one game, the opponent and the landlord fight. If the landlord wins, he earns money from the two families. If the landlord loses, he has to pay the money from the two families.

Compared with rolling dice, which is easy to manipulate, it is much more fair to draw cards with one's own hands under the noses of others.

However, there are also those who have quick hands and feet and cheat.

However, the poker cards in the casino are made of a special material, which is very different from the cheating cards, and they are very recognizable.

The fate of being caught cheating is tragic.

So, after the first person's horror, the others are all honest.

Let's not talk about the gambling house, let's talk about this back house.

The speed at which poker is popular, one is to cater to the fights of people in different houses, turning the fight in the dark into the winning or losing of playing cards on the bright side.A moment of refreshment can also make people exhale.

The second is that when playing poker, money is added to block it. From hairpins to bracelets, from earrings to finger rings, they used to be obtained by secret tricks, but now they can be won by playing poker. Such a good thing , It's simply pie in the sky.

Of course, these are just some superficial fights.

If it's really those who fight for family wealth, it won't be determined by the winning or losing of this little poker!
