The Book of Raising Children by Houmen

Chapter 420 Losing Money (2)
Now it was Mama Zhang's turn to speak.Since Sun Yu'e came out, her temper has indeed become much more restrained than before, but she has been a genius since she was a child. If she sees something from Wei Zhuyun, it will be bad if she makes any trouble.

Zhang's mother was nervous, so she couldn't help raising her head and glanced at Zhao Jing. Seeing that she was still standing behind the old lady, she said, "Madam, come and play for a while. The old slave is going outside to have a look at the dinner table." How are the preparations going? The old lady said that the moon is good today, so she insisted on serving dinner in the waterside pavilion in the back garden, which happens to be able to enjoy the moon. I heard that watching the moon on the water is the most elegant thing."

After hearing this, Mrs. Xu only smiled and said: "I know what is indecent, but just looking at the beautiful scenery over there, the lanterns in the back garden are all hung up, there is nothing to waste, I have to go to join in the fun It’s the same for the children to look at the lanterns at home without going out.”

After Zhao Jing heard this, she remembered the incident of Yuanxiao and Xu Si'an admiring the lanterns together this year, but it has only been half a year, but things have changed.

Seeing that Mother Zhang had stood up, Zhao Jing said, "Mother Zhang, go and call all the brothers in, and let the kitchen cook a table of good dishes, heat a pot of good wine, and prepare a table for Mr. Zhang."

Zhao Jing knew that Mr. Yan's family members were not in the capital, so it might be impossible to reunite on such a day.If you invited him in for a meal, but we were embarrassed by each other, it would be better to greet him with good wine and good food, and let him go out and relax alone.

Mother Zhang said with a smile: "The table has already been prepared, but the wine may not be remembered by women, so I will tell you again."

Zhao Jing nodded and started to play the cards after drawing the cards.She was not very good at mahjong in the first place, but now that the ducks are on the shelves, she has no choice but to join in the fun.She only touched the box for two rounds, and saw that the idle cards in her hand were not used, so she stretched out her hand and played them.

Who knew that the old lady and Sun Yu'e were confused, it was really a double-bang cannon.Seeing that she had no money in front of her, Zhao Jing hurriedly smiled and told the maid to go to the room to get some.The other old mother who played mahjong with her only smiled and said, "It's time for my wife to change her luck. It's only the first card, so I ordered two."

Sun Yu'e was about to continue the conversation, but a little maid came in outside and said, "Master Hou is back."

Zhao Jing hurriedly got up to meet her, but a little maid had already opened the curtain to usher Xu Si'an in.Seeing the old lady playing mahjong, the man smiled and asked, "Mom is really in a good mood today, it looks like you won a lot of money?"

The old lady was very happy after winning the money, and she just smiled after hearing this: "No, it's only your daughter-in-law who fired the gun in the first round, so you can help her."

Zhao Jing's cheeks turned slightly red when she heard the words, she stood up and said, "I don't know how to fight, come here, Lord Hou."

Xu Si'an sat down, looked down at the cards in Zhao Jing's hand, and said with a smile, "I'm not too unlucky, I've listened." On his side was an Changchun stool, and Xu Si'an pulled Zhao Jing Jing sat down together and let her watch him play mahjong.

Xu Si'an had long legs and long arms, and he built the cards very quickly. Zhao Jing watched him fumble three times, and he was really lucky. Seeing that he had already drawn a card, he played a three of a kind.

When Zhao Jing was about to say that she had played the wrong card, she heard Mrs. Xu laughing, pushed the mahjong in front of her, and said with a smile: "You two husband and wife are both shot, I am confused again!"

At this time, Zhao Jing already understood a little bit, she just wanted to shoot, and Xu Si'an probably did it on purpose this time.Zhao Jing raised her head and glanced at the maids who were watching the cards in a circle, but she didn't think there was anything special, so she didn't bother to study it.

This card was played for two more rounds, and the old lady had already won a lot of money, and Sun Yu'e also lost all the money in front of her.Seeing that Xu Si'an's clothes hadn't changed in time, Zhao Jing smiled and said, "Mother, I'll go back to the room with Master Hou and change clothes, and then I'll go to the waterside pavilion to have dinner with my mother in a while."

The old lady agreed with a smile, and the two of them sent Songhetang out, and Zhao Jing asked Xu Si'an with a puzzled face, "How do you know which card mother is going to paste?"

Seeing her helpless look, Xu Si'an only smiled and said, "You will naturally understand after you play with your mother a few more times."

Mrs. Xu won the money, and she was in a good mood. Seeing that Sun Yu'e had lost even a string of copper coins, she just smiled and carried two slings of coins, put them in front of her and said, "Hide your adoptive father quickly, so that he won't see it." I thought I only wanted his money, not yours."

Sun Yu'e was thinking about something at the moment, she was a little stunned when she heard this, and seeing that the old lady was going to distribute money elsewhere, she just stared blankly at the copper coins that the old lady put in front of her, and did not move.

The old lady over there finished distributing the money, and only smiled and said: "You are right, the Bodhisattva in Jingci Temple is efficacious after all, and this time your second sister's marriage can be settled, thanks to layman Wei as a guarantor. After a few days, I will go to Jingci Nunnery and thank her well for going back."
