General, the lady escaped again

Chapter 278 There is an addiction called Mahjong (1)

When the seven craftsmen saw the banknotes, they looked at each other and their hands stopped shaking. They could never earn a hundred taels in their entire lives, but with this silver...

The craftsmen immediately gave their best and worked hard without saying a word.

Encouraged by the money, the seven craftsmen successfully completed the mahjong tiles that Ji Xiaomu mentioned in just half an hour.

He took the one hundred taels of silver given by the housekeeper, but before he could feel happy, he was knocked unconscious by the secret guards and sent back to his original place.

After waking up, the craftsman looked at the familiar place, thinking that it was just a daydream. Just as he was about to lament, he reached into his arms and touched a piece of paper. He took it out and saw that it was indeed a silver note for 100 taels. He turned the silver note over and over very carefully, carefully looking at the bank seal on it to confirm that the silver note was real...

It turns out it’s real, not a dream!

For a moment, she was overjoyed and wanted to scream with excitement, but she was afraid that if she screamed, people would find out that she had made a fortune. She suppressed her ecstasy, bit her lips so as not to make any sound, and jumped around the room excitedly, clenching her fists and waving them with excitement.

The craftsmen were happy, and the housekeeper was even happier. He finally lived up to the trust and quickly delivered the freshly made mahjong to Ji Xiaomu.

While the housekeeper invited craftsmen to carve mahjong, Ji Xiaou explained how to play mahjong to the three people in the pavilion. Li Hong and Si Jing were so excited that they couldn't wait to start playing.

Even Fang Chen, who had been reading the Art of War, stopped turning the pages at some point and listened to Ji Xiaomu's introduction with his ears perked up.

By the time the butler brought the mahjong, the three of them had already understood how to play it, and asked the servants to prepare the table and use the finest silk as the tablecloth.

As soon as the housekeeper arrived with the mahjong, he couldn't wait to take the tiles and start shuffling them.

This led to the previous scene.

Newcomers to mahjong always have an inexplicable kind of luck. The three of them had very good luck, especially Fang Chen. After a round, he would win at least three times. Li Hong and Si Jing could also win one or two times occasionally. Only Ji Xiaomu lost every time.

Every time when I was ready to win, either Fang Chen, Li Hong or Si Jing won, but I couldn't win at all.

Ji Xiaomu became more and more excited as she fought. She didn't believe that she couldn't win a single hand today.

Li Hong and Si Jing were completely attracted by this novel way of playing. The more they played, the more excited they became. Even if they lost, they paid happily without feeling sorry at all.

Fang Chen, however, was looking at the mahjong thoughtfully, as the cash box prepared for him by Steward Lu was already filled with silver.

Butler Lu, who had been serving nearby, couldn't help but feel itchy after watching for a while. Even he was attracted to the mahjong and couldn't help but remind his master to play several times.

The four of them were so busy playing mahjong that they even forgot about food and clothing. Tie Laosan and others, who had completed Fang Chen's training task, waited in the restaurant for a long time but did not see the four of them. After finishing their meal, they could not help but come out to look for them.

The group searched for a long time but couldn't find anyone. Finally, they saw four people fighting fiercely in the pavilion.

"One, one." Li Hong said anxiously.

"Don't move, let me touch you! Five tubes." Mother Ji raised her eyebrows.

"Five tubes, I'll try it too, thirty thousand." Si Jing glanced at Li Hong and Ji Xiaomu, pursed her lips and smiled secretly, good job.

"You dare to bet 30,000, I'll touch it, and I'm waiting for the card, haha! I must win this time, nine of a kind." Ji Xiaomu said proudly, looking at the cards in front of her, very confident.

"Nine...Pong. Seventy thousand." Fang Chen looked at Ji Xiaomu silently and gave her the cards.

Ji Xiaomu glanced at Fang Chen and let him go of his 70,000 yuan.
