Looking at Tai'an from the full moon

Tai'an's leaf cards originated from Wangyan City. A deck of cards has 144 cards, each with a pattern of peach blossoms, bamboo, waves and stars. There are 36 leaf cards of each pattern, from one to nine. The one with the peach blossom is a card with a peach blossom engraved on it.

Under Zuo Xin's "patient" explanation, Wei Yang only listened to the rules once.

"Let's get started. Let's make it clear first. If you lose, you must accept the loss. Don't refuse to pay when the time comes."

Zuo Xin was very confident. After all, she only explained the rules once and did not mention a word about the application of the rules. From her point of view, no matter how smart Wei Yang was, it was impossible for him to figure out the game in one day.

"Is this the beginning? Do you have anything else to say?"

The three of them had already sat down. Wei Changmei pinched Zuo Xin a few times under the table, signaling her not to go too far.

The other maid who was there to make up the numbers looked at the three people cautiously. After all, the status of the three people at the same table was more noble than the other. However, she could also see that the concubine on the left seemed to be making things difficult for her master, so she approached cautiously and said something flattering.

"Princess, how about I explain the rules to you again?"

Wei Yang glanced at her slightly sideways, with a somewhat arrogant expression.

"No need, it's just a game. Let's start~"

So the four of them started playing cards -

Wei Yang didn't fully understand the rules yet, and she was not familiar with leaf cards, so she lost three games in a row at the beginning. In the fourth game, she was about to win, but because there was a requirement for the last card to be deducted according to the rules, it was not considered a win, and she even lost.

"Good~"

Wei Yang took out the silver from his purse and accepted it gladly. Wei Changmei smiled awkwardly and took it. The maid didn't dare to take the silver handed over by the princess. She didn't even dare to win every time. She was afraid of being hated if she won any of the three. But fortunately, her card skills were not bad, so she would not lose.

"Princess, this money is..."

"Why, are you still worried that I can't afford it?"

"That's not what I meant, slave."

"Take it, you deserve it."

The little maid caught the silver change thrown by Wei Yang with trembling hands and said quickly, "Thank you, Princess."

"Come on, come on, keep on, keep on!"

Zuo Xin urged impatiently, she still wanted to take advantage of today to win a few more games!

Wei Yang naturally knew what she was thinking, so he just said it with a smile.

"Okay, let's continue!"

So the four of them started the fifth hand, and this time Wei Yang was smiling as she drew the cards. Zuo Xin felt a little uneasy when she saw her expression.

Did she have such a good hand? She was so proud of herself.

However, after just two rounds of this game, Zuo Xin felt relieved again because Wei Yang's playing style was the same as in the previous four games, and he always accurately fed her the cards she needed.

"eat!"

"bump!"

"Hey wait! Let me think!"

"..."

Wei Changmei kept shaking his head, Zuo Xin's brand is really good...

"Okay! This is it!"

Zuo Xin thought for a long time and finally decided which card to play. Wei Yang looked at it and suddenly a triumphant smile appeared on his face.

"bump!"

"what?"

Zuo Xin couldn't believe it when she heard Wei Yang wanted to touch her.

"What cards do you touch?"

Zuo Xin stuck her head out curiously. According to the cards Wei Yang had played before, she shouldn't want this one!

Wei Yang calmly picked up the leaf card played by Zuo Xin, and then put his two cards together with the one he picked up. There were three pink peach blossoms painted on all three cards.

Zuo Xin frowned fiercely. She clearly remembered that Wei Yang had played a Peach Blossom Two and a Peach Blossom Four at the beginning, so how come he still had a Peach Blossom Three in his hand?

“Is that how you play?”

Zuo Xin was puzzled.

"What? Against the rules?"

Wei Yang asked back. Zuo Xin curled her lips and had nothing to say. Wei Yang picked up a leaf card while speaking.

"Since it complies with the rules, I will continue~"

Next, Wei Yang took turns to pick up three players' cards, and even won four times in a row. Now Zuo Xin couldn't sit still anymore.

"What's going on? Did you two cheat?!"

Zuo Xin raised questions.

Wei Yang spread his hands.

"Do I need to cheat for such a small amount of money? You won a few games just now, why can't you let me win a few games?"

"this..."

Zuo Xin was not convinced and wanted to play something else. She drove the extra maid out to prevent her from helping Wei Yang cheat.

"Can we start now?"

"Yes! Just the two of us fighting!"

Zuo Xin did not let Wei Changmei participate, she wanted to "duel" with Wei Yang! Wei Changmei watched from the side, and after seeing Zuo Xin throw away several useful cards in succession, she leaned back slightly, raised her arms and covered her face slightly with her hands. Because Zuo Xin's card skills were really hard to watch.

Seeing that the more cards Wei Yang put out, the fewer cards she needed to collect and the easier it would be to win, Zuo Xin had already begun to play her cards "cautiously". She even paused and glanced at Wei Changmei, hoping that she would give her some hints on which cards she should play. Wei Changmei looked up at the ceiling and ignored her. This hand was hopeless!

"Bamboo Section Two!"

Zuo Xin played a bamboo card with two sections carved on it.

"Hu!"

"Wait a minute, I dialed the wrong number!"

Zuo Xin saw Wei Yang was going to win, so she quickly changed her words. Wei Changmei couldn't stand it anymore, there was no regret after making a move, so there was no reason to deny the cards that had been played.

Wei Yang said with a smile.

"It's okay, you can take it back~"

Zuo Xin smiled awkwardly, took the card back "shamelessly", and then played another one very confidently.

"Peach Blossom Five!"

Zuo Xin smiled slightly, thinking: Wei Yang had already played Peach Blossom Two and Peach Blossom Four, and Peach Blossom Three, so she definitely won't play Peach Blossom Five! And I already know what she's going to win, as long as I don't play this Bamboo Card!

Wei Yang calmly looked at Zuo Xin's smug expression, curled the corners of his mouth, and deliberately and slowly stretched out his fingers to pick up the peach blossom card, and even shook it in front of Wei Yang's eyes, before finally taking it in front of himself.

Zuo Xin's eyes were fixed on Wei Yang's leaf cards, waiting for her to spread out the cards.

Wei Yang felt that the time was about up, so he pushed all the cards onto the table.

Zuo Xin stretched her hand forward and flipped the cards, trying to find even the slightest possibility that she had bluffed, but there really was none.

"She's really crazy~"

Wei Changmei reminded him from the side, and Zuo Xin immediately started to act like a rogue, putting his hands on his hips.

"So what if I won? It's just luck! I don't want to play anymore! It's so boring!"

Zuo Xin stood up and left, Wei Changmei nodded to Wei Yang to apologize and followed him. Just as Zuo Xin opened the door, Wei Yang suddenly called her.

"Zuo Xin!"

Zuo Xin paused and turned her head but not completely.

"what?"

"I know you are a little unhappy with me today. I guess you believed some rumors. But some things are not what you think. There are reasons behind everything."

"what?"

Zuo Xin frowned, not really understanding the point of Wei Yang's nonsense. Wei Yang didn't insist on explaining anything, but instead sent her out directly with words.

"You are in a bad mood today, so we won't play anymore. I will bring the leaf cards to the movie palace to meet you again some other day."

Zuo Xin was just about to turn around and ask for clarification when Wei Changmei quickly came up from behind her and pushed her away, replying.

"Then we will prepare wine and food and wait for you!"
