Early the next morning, Mu Qing came to the door at noon, but what Zhou Chen didn't expect was.
Mu Qing did not come alone, he also brought two people with him, one was Mu Nihuang, and the other was Xia Dong, who had met him once before.
The appearance of Mu Nihuang and Xia Dong made Zhou Chen embarrassed and he glared at Mu Qing dissatisfied.
He was already avoiding Mu Nihuang, but Mu Qing was so lucky that he brought Mu Nihuang over.
As for the other Xia Dong whom I had met once, he was not an easy person to get along with. No, he stared at him as soon as he came in, with dissatisfaction in his eyes.
Mu Qing felt guilty and turned her head away in embarrassment, not daring to look at Zhou Chen.
Of course he didn't want to bring his sister here, but he had no choice but to nod whatever his sister said. Rather than suffer the consequences himself, it would be better to let Brother Yu have a headache.
Zhou Chen had no choice but to welcome the guests.
"Princess, Lord Xia, your arrival really makes this humble house look brighter."
Mu Nihuang responded generously: "Brother Chen, I heard from Qing'er that you made something interesting. I was very curious, so I came here with Qing'er. Why, aren't you welcome?"
"It is an honor for me to come, Princess. How could I not welcome you?"
Xia Dong cupped his fists and saluted Zhou Chen: "Mr. Chen, please don't be offended by your presumptuous visit."
"Mr. Xia, you're welcome. Please come inside."
Zhou Chen introduced the three of them into the main hall, and Mu Qing was very carefree and sat down on a chair on the side without any ceremony.
Mu Nihuang frowned and scolded: "Qing'er."
Zhou Chen came to the rescue and said: "Princess, don't worry. When you get here, there is no need to worry about the red tape. My place may be different from the outside. We made these tables and chairs ourselves. Visitors don't have to kneel and sit on the chairs."
Just sit down."
When Mu Qing saw Zhou Chen helping him out, he also said with a smile: "Sister, these tables and chairs invented by Brother Yu are very comfortable to sit on, much more comfortable than sitting on your knees. Brother Yu is right, we are all so familiar, no
You have to be so polite, just be casual."
This sounds like this is his home and he is the owner here.
Mu Nihuang was helpless towards this younger brother, and then he and Xia Dong also sat down on the left side.
Not long after they sat down, Gong Yu led two maids to bring tea and cakes to several people, and asked the two maids to place them on the table next to the three of them.
The moment Gong Yu appeared, Mu Nihuang and Xia Dong's eyes turned away. Fortunately for Mu Nihuang, she had seen Gong Yu and only glanced at him before looking away.
But Xia Dong, who was Mu Nihuang's best friend, stared at Gong Yu with unkind eyes. She already knew these things from Mu Nihuang's mouth, so she was full of hostility towards Gong Yu.
Zhou Chen took the initiative to introduce: "This is my unmarried wife, Gong Yu. Gong Yu, you have met Mu Qing. This is Mu Qing's sister, Princess Nihuang. This is the head of the Xuanjing Division."
Mirror Master Xia Dong."
"See the princess, Lord Xia."
Gong Yu saluted the three of them generously, her heart filled with joy. She was really satisfied that Zhou Chen could introduce her as his unmarried wife in front of others.
Although she felt that she was not worthy of Zhou Chen, in front of Princess Nihuang, her love rival, Zhou Chen's introduction to her in this way was the greatest recognition of her.
Mu Qing has come to Zhou Chen's place more than once or twice. He has also met Gong Yu twice. Zhou Chen introduced her like this before. Although he was very angry, he slowly accepted it.
Since Zhou Chen is so ignorant and his sister is not wanted by anyone, why should he force her? Is it possible that his sister is really jealous of a prostitute?
Besides, her sister is so good, where can she find a good man?
So after that, he came to see Zhou Chen just for fun, and never mentioned his sister again.
Gong Yu also felt Xia Dong's hostility, but she did not react. She saluted Mu Nihuang and Xia Dong, and then exited the main hall.
Xia Dong wanted to speak for his friend, but when he saw Mu Nihuang didn't respond at all, he didn't speak.
"Brother Yu, why don't you show us the mahjong you mentioned? I really want to see what it is that makes it so interesting, Brother Yu."
Mu Qing, who was the funniest, had no scheming and immediately asked what was on his mind.
Zhou Chen said with a smile: "Don't worry, we can watch it together when Jingrui and Yujin arrive. It will save me the trouble of saying it again."
Xiao Jingrui and Yan Yujin did not keep Mu Qing waiting for long. In less than half an hour, they all arrived, and they also brought Mei Changsu with them.
After everyone met, they exchanged a few polite words. Everyone had met before, and only Xia Dong and Mei Changsu were a little more "strange". Everyone else had met many times.
Zhou Chen didn't let them wait long, and asked Butler Lu to take out the mahjong. After he finished it yesterday, he polished the mahjong again. Now it doesn't hurt when you hold it in your hand, although it's not as smooth as those mahjongs in later generations.
But it feels pretty good in the hand.
"This is Mahjong. There are a total of one hundred and forty-four tiles. There are many ways to play it. Let's start with the simple one..."
Zhou Chen spent half an hour explaining the basic gameplay of mahjong. The people present were all smart people. Except for Mu Qing, who was a little dull, everyone else already had their own ideas.
"Okay, no matter how much you talk, it's better to get started. Mahjong requires four people. Come to the side hall with me and sit down to play."
The square table in the side hall has been set up. As the host and the only one who knows how to play, Zhou Chen was naturally the first to sit down.
"We have a lot of people here, four of us, one for me, and three more seats. Which of you will come?"
Mu Qing was the first to shout: "I'll come, I'll come."
But before he could sit down, Mu Nihuang lifted him to the side: "Come on, did you understand just now?"
Mu Qing said depressedly: "I don't understand, but you can get it after playing around."
Having said that, the fear of being dominated by his sister for a long time still made him give up his seat, and Princess Nihuang sat down opposite Zhou Chen.
"I'm quite interested in this mahjong game, count me in."
Naturally, no one would have any objections, so there were only two positions left.
Xiao Jingrui and Yan Yujin looked at each other, and finally Yan Yujin said: "Brother Su, you are the smartest among us. You learn faster than us. Please sit down."
Mei Changsu said humbly: "I didn't understand it very well, so I won't be ashamed. Jingrui and Yujin, you'd better sit down."
Yan Yu said: "It would be embarrassing for me to sit down. I think Jingrui is no better than me. Brother Su, sit down first and show us a demonstration. We can save some face later. If
If you ask me to do it now, it will definitely be embarrassing, I am thin-skinned, so just forget it."
Xiao Jingrui agreed: "Yu Jin is right. Brother Su, stop being modest and sit down."
Mei Changsu had no choice but to sit down with a smile. As a result, only the last seat was left.
This time, before anyone could say anything, Xia Dong sat down unceremoniously: "Looking at how much you guys are pushing and shoving, and you're not even sitting down, let me do it. I happen to be very interested in the two of you."
It’s also suitable for both men and women.”
Okay, the mahjong group of four has already sat down, so Zhou Chen said: "Then let's start counting tiles now."
Among the four of them, except for Mei Changsu, whose hand speed is relatively slow, the rest of them are quick to code the cards. There is no need to do such a simple thing, just watch what Zhou Chen does.
The first three games were very slow, and there was no win or loss. The main thing was that Zhou Chen explained while playing. He is definitely an expert in teaching. He has taught many of his children.
So there is plenty of patience.
Mei Changsu and the other two are all smart people. After Zhou Chen almost taught him step by step for three games, the three of them understood a lot, and then they officially started.
In the first game, there was no doubt that Zhou Chen won. In the second game, he started to take the initiative, and in the end, it was Xia Dong who played the wrong hand, but it was just the smallest card.
In the third game it was Mei Changsu, in the fourth game it was still Mei Changsu, and in the fifth game it was still Mei Changsu.
"Hey, great talent, you can do it." Xia Dong has a straightforward personality. When he saw Mei Chang Su Lian Hu Sanbao, he praised him.
Mei Changsu smiled and said: "It's just that I'm lucky, not to mention that this is Brother Yu's deliberate concession."
Two more fights were fought, and Mu Nihuang and Xia Dong took over respectively. Even though Mu Nihuang was calm, he showed a happy smile when fighting.
Zhou Chen stood up at the right time, and Yan Yujin, who had been watching for a long time and couldn't wait to sit down, sat down, and the four fledgling 'bird gods' began to play chess.
The more they played, the more addicted they became. They played until midnight, then had lunch at Zhou Chen's place. Under the urging of Mu Qing and Yan Yujin, they didn't eat for long, and then they started playing mahjong again.
Except for Zhou Chen, the six people who came came on the court, and each player played two rounds, taking turns.
Pretending to get acquainted, Mu Qing was the first to call for money, and then Zhou Chen helped them count cards and explained to them in detail how much they won and how much they lost.
Because it was money, the final positions were fixed. The Mu siblings took turns to fight, Xia and Dong took one side, Yan Yujin and Xiao Jingrui took one side, and when Mei Changsu got tired, Xiao Jingrui and Yan
Yujin.
Even with Mei Changsu's indifferent character, he quickly became obsessed with mahjong. The smile on his face never broke. The side hall was also very lively, with Mu Qing and Yan Yujin shouting the loudest among them.
.
The fight lasted until Xu Shi, and in the end it was the Mu family siblings who lost the most, followed by Xiao Jingrui and Yujin, and Mei Changsu and Xia Dong won the most.
