Chapter 21: play cards
Back at Su's house, Lin Qingxu had completely lived a carefree life of rice bugs, while Su Yan, instead of the two days before the wedding, had gotten up early and spent the night in the dark all day, rushing to and fro in the shops and shopping malls, without a day off.
Early in the morning, Lin Qingxu was woken up by Fang Yin with a sleepy face. Su Yan had been running to the mall for a long time.
She yawned carelessly and stretched out her gloves and clothes at a snail's pace. Fangyin watched anxiously from the side, straightened her belt a few times, tied a beautiful bow, and urged, "Madam, hurry up. Well, just now, my wife specially asked Sister Wu Qi to send a message, and asked you to wait to go to her!"
Wu Qi is one of Yu's personal maids. She just turned sixteen this year. She looks pretty, and is articulate and understands the sense of proportion. She is deeply liked by Yu's family.
As soon as Lin Qingxu heard Yu's name, he immediately stood up, and the only sleepiness left in his mind was frightened and disappeared.
Fang Yin wanted to laugh when she saw it, and cooperated with her to get dressed and washed at the speed of light, grabbed a dark brown horn and combed her hair into a bun.
Lin Qingxu looked at the bitter little face in the mirror and sighed.
"My wife won't eat you even though she told you to go, why is my wife so worried?" Fang Yin asked with a smile while putting beads on her hairpin.
Although Fangyin was sent by the Yu family, after a few days of getting along with her, she liked this new master who had no pretensions and was very talkative. It wasn't something that was explained by the Yu family, and she wouldn't go into details.
Lin Qingxu sighed again, and gave Fang Yin a sad look of "you don't understand at all" from the mirror.
Of course, it was impossible for Yu to eat her, but every time he was stared at by Yu's hesitant eyes, Lin Qingxu suffered a huge torment in his heart.
How much she wanted to confess to the Yu family - in fact, she already knew the fact that Su Yan didn't mention it, she wouldn't say it, and she wouldn't do other drastic things. I beg her and let her innocent person go. Bar?
It's a pity that she was really ashamed to say it...
Lin Qingxu puffed out his cheeks and chewed the small meat bun in his mouth, looking ruthless. The small pork buns in Su Mansion's kitchen made one bite, with thin skin and fresh juice. She swallowed a basket with a few efforts. There were three baskets of pork buns in one drawer, and she began to lift the lid to solve the next basket.
Fang Yin was frightened by her appearance, and hesitantly reminded: "Madam, don't hold on, it's you who hold on to the discomfort."
Lin Qingxu just drank a bowl of oatmeal and fruit porridge, a piece of vegetarian meat steamed cake, and a plate of side dishes. If you eat one or two small buns at most, you won't be able to eat them. What's going on now?
Could it be that Madam wants to eat her stomach so that she can escape to where is Madam? But is my wife really not a beast of a flood?
Fang Yin was full of suspicion.
Lin Qingxu shook his head, his voice sober: "It's okay, I can still eat."
Of course she wouldn't fool herself tossing herself, she was really hungry, and when she was depressed, her hunger was magnified several times!
Fang Yin watched with trepidation as Lin Qingxu finished the second cage of buns, slowly opened the third cage, and after a glance, she finally stopped overeating, Fang Yin finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Well... I really can't eat it anymore." Lin Qingxu took it back, touched his bulging belly, and sighed silently.
Seems like... I'm still eating.
On the way supporting Lin Qingxu to the front yard, Fang Yin's heart trembled, for fear that the lady would cover her mouth and spit out all the food she had eaten in the morning.
Fortunately, there were no surprises along the way.
Walking to the front of the main hall, Lin Qingxu restrained his grief on the guillotine, adjusted his facial expression, and then walked in without Fangyin's support.
Unexpectedly, she didn't come here this time to enjoy the flowers and chat with Yu's eyes, nor to accompany her to watch a babble opera that she couldn't understand, but... let her Come to see the fun?
Lin Qingxu looked at the women in Chinese clothes sitting around the table in the side hall, and stopped in place, not daring to move forward for a while.
"Yo, this is my sister's daughter-in-law. She was born so beautiful and moving, hurry up, don't stand, come here just in time for your mother-in-law to transfer, but my sister has lost the three of us in a row!" Wearing a snow-blue shirt The fat woman with sharp eyes waved to Lin Qingxu while she played the cards, and then gave Yu a good laugh.
Yu was naturally indignant.
Since the eldest got married, she hasn't played cards with them for several days. Yu's poker skills were mediocre, but the other three weren't much better. The four of them were half a pound, and it was fun to play poker together. I don't think she's been playing cards for a few days, and her face is so black. ?
It was the first time that Lin Qingxu saw women's entertainment in this era. She glanced at the card game, all of which were garish thin wooden cards, which made her dizzy.
"Mother." Lin Qingxu sat down on the stool next to Yu's, and pretended to look at the large number of wooden signs in her hand. In fact, she couldn't understand anything.
"Has Axu played leaf cards before?" Yu knew that this was another dead end, and he lost the heart to fight with the other three, so he turned his attention to Lin Qingxu.
Lin Qingxu shook his head and relaxed a lot.
Yu pulls her to watch the fun, and she can be an accompaniment to the audience. As long as you don't look at her with such erratic eyes, everything can be said!
The purple-colored woman sitting on the other side of the Yu family heard the words and laughed: "It is said that the novice has the best luck, maybe she can take away the bad luck of Yu sister today!"
The purple-colored woman looked at the oldest among the four, but she didn't look mean. She spoke with a big voice but was warm and kind. Lin Qingxu also laughed when she heard the words.
"That's right, even if my niece comes up, even if the card skills are not matched, the three elders outside will never bully the younger one, and they will always let her go." The woman sitting opposite Yu's finally spoke. After speaking, the three Laugh together.
The four of them played well, and regardless of this sarcasm, Yu Shi simply threw the cards in his hand on the table: "Okay, I will admit defeat, and Axu will replace me. You can talk like aunts. If you want to do it, I will bully Axu, go back to Yan'er and sue I will trouble you!"
The other three happily waved their hands again and again: "Don't worry, A Xu is so beautiful, how can we bear to bully her, right?"
Lin Qingxu blushed and nodded, feeling as if he was being molested by four old ladies.
As a beginner who didn't even know the card face, Lin Qingxu grabbed a hand of cards randomly, and the feeling was really indescribable.
Yu stood beside her anxiously, while helping her draw cards and explaining to her what the card colors were, impatiently wishing to fight in person.
Lin Qingxu was stunned with Yu's explanations circling one after another in his mind. The three families next to them looked at the situation on their side and were secretly having fun.
They thought, with Yu's explanation method, Lin Qingxu is a genius if he can understand and learn!
Of course Lin Qingxu couldn't be a genius, because of Yu's hand, they lost three consecutive games!
"Haha, it seems that my sister and Axu are not very lucky today, and my sister is embarrassed to win." The fat woman in Xue Qingyi said while making money around her.
Lin Qingxu resisted the twitching of the corners of her mouth, and looked at Yu's squinting, but met Yu's soothing and calm eyes, and Yu patted her shoulder: "Don't worry, Axu, the money you lost today will wait for your father to come back to him at night. Double the reimbursement, don’t be afraid.”
Lin Qingxu: "..."
The old man Su, who was far away in the shop, was inspecting work with a stubborn face. When his nose was itchy, he raised his head and sneezed loudly.
Master Su turned his back angrily: Who is secretly speaking ill of this master!
The stewards looked confused: o__o"
…
Lin Qingxu touched the cards and lost two more hands in a row, and finally slowly found some patterns.
Mr. Yu sat back in his seat, sighed sadly, and gave up: "Axu fight it yourself, mother, please take it slow."
After losing more than a dozen games in a row, her luck was really bad.
Lin Qingxu nodded and began to play cards alone.
After recognizing a bunch of painted cards, she finally concluded a clear rule in her mind.
The leaf card game of this era is actually very similar to modern mahjong. It is divided into several suits and has different combination charts. The last cards in the hand form a regular sequence to win. However, the difference from mahjong is that you can only play cards with big ones over small ones. If you make a bad plan, you can only wait and lose money.
After recognizing it clearly, Lin Qingxu took the cards and threw the cards more calmly.
There are a lot of leaf cards, there are more than one hundred cards. The colorful cards made her dizzy before, but now she knows how to play, and the calculations are much more regular and convenient.
"Win?" Yu didn't feel sorry for himself for too long, but he couldn't react for a long time when he saw Lin Qingxu showing his cards first.
Lin Qingxu nodded with a smile and said proudly, "Mother, we won!"
"Okay, okay!" Yu touched her hand and looked at the other three that were still going on. She was overjoyed and proud, "I just said that we, A Xu, are lucky.
Lin Qingxu took the opportunity to flatter him: "It's not that A-niang is in charge, I'm so lucky."
Yu Shi was overjoyed: "There is no such thing, it's all A Xu smart and beautiful, your other three aunts don't dare to win more than you..."
The other three families listened to the mother-in-law and the daughter-in-law with a sullen expression, and they praised each other one by one. Just stare!
After Shen Shi, Su Yan, who had been traveling for a day, returned home, and when he entered the door, he saw Lin Qingxule's red face sitting on the soft slump.
He glanced at Fangyin next to Lin Qingxu inquiringly, Fangyin saluted him, said to rush to dinner, and happily trotted out the door.
Su Yan sat next to her and saw her blinking big eyes with a "you ask me, ask me quickly" expression, curled her lips and rubbed her hair.
"What makes Qing'er so happy?"
Lin Qingxu waited anxiously, she took out a small purse from under the pillow behind her and handed it to him proudly pursing her lips: "This is what I earned today."
Su Yan opened the purse and saw that it was the broken silver of the purse. When added together, there were about ten taels.
He laughed and asked her, "Where did Qing'er earn it?"
It is reasonable to say that Lin Qingxu is the young lady of the Su family, and there is no reason not to give money to the Yu family. Besides, her pocket of silver doesn't seem like she can earn it casually.
Lin Qingxu winked at him tactfully: "Ayan, guess what?"
Su Yan pinched her pretty little nose, which made her frown. He laughed, "Is it A-Niang's place?"
Lin Qingxu shook his head quickly, straightened his chest and gave him a correct answer: "I won with my mother, and today we played cards with a few other aunts. I won all of these!"
"Axu is really amazing!" Su Yan patted her head again, seeing her face "of course", all the worries he had accumulated all day outside, "Since Axu has won so much, do you want me? Give you other rewards?"
Lin Qingxu's eyes lit up, and he seized the opportunity to speak immediately: "Well...then you want me to accompany you to the store tomorrow? I've been bored in the house for several days, and I haven't gone out." She kept looking for opportunities Approaching his life, now there is finally a breakthrough.
Su Yan's refusal was blocked by her next sentence, he thought for a while and agreed, "Okay."
