The Concubine's Daughter Travels Through Time and Space and Takes the Road of Confrontation

Three days later, Lu Yun moved a wooden box to Junzixuan.

"This thing is called Mahjong, and this is how to play it." Lu Yun handed over a piece of paper. "You can take it to the next door and try a couple of rounds. I guarantee you'll have fun."

Zhou Zhongyi looked at the small wooden blocks in the box in amazement. After he thoroughly understood how to play with them, he thanked them repeatedly and ran away with the box.

I met Manager Liao on the way and asked, "Second Master, what are you doing?"

Zhou Zhongyi said righteously, "I'm going to the Luo family to pick up Miss Luo Er for an outing."

Manager Liao said with a smile, "Second Young Master, take care." Looking at the Second Young Master's back as he walked away, Old Liao immediately returned to Sansi Hall and told the old prince the news.

"Your Highness, our Second Young Master has been interacting quite frequently with the Second Young Miss of the Luo family recently. I just saw him leaving in a hurry, saying he was going to pick up the Second Young Miss Luo for an outing."

The King of Nanyue nodded in satisfaction, but suddenly realized something was wrong. His eyes widened. "Outing? It's already summer, what kind of outing is this? The little bastard must be hiding something from me."

"Old Liao, secretly send someone to follow and see what this little bastard is doing!"

Manager Liao nodded in agreement and was about to ask a few more questions when Yaochun, who was beside the princess, came to invite him.

The King of Nanyue straightened his clothes, picked up his small teapot and walked away quickly. Today he wanted to wipe out the previous shame and regain his glory!

However, Manager Liao sent someone to follow for a few days and found that the second young master did go to pick up Miss Luo every day. Except that he took her to the yard next door instead of going for an outing, there was nothing wrong with it.

The princess' godsister lived in the next yard. Manager Liao's men didn't dare to go to the door directly to inquire, so they had to guard the door. While guarding, they found that in addition to the second young master and the second young lady of the Luo family who went there on time every day, there was also the cousin of the Gao family.

After Manager Liao learned the news, he pondered for a long time but couldn't figure out what these little guys were up to, so he had to report it to the old prince truthfully.

While the King of Nanyue was bewildered, Lu Yun led her men to Mingde Hall, where Grandma, Princess Gao, and the King of Nanyue were engaged in a card game. Lu Yun patiently waited for them to finish their round before placing the items she had brought on the table.

"Mahjong?" Princess Gao picked up a small three-dimensional ivory cube and examined it carefully. It was engraved with various patterns. "Sounds interesting."

The King of Nanyue picked up the booklet and read it carefully.

While the couple was studying the new stuff, Grandma looked at Lu Yun lovingly and said, "Ms. Jiang, come here and let me take a look." As she spoke, she gently touched Lu Yun's belly and said, "My dear, how are you doing recently?"

Lu Yun was very well-behaved. "Grandma, everything is fine with my grandson. I can eat and drink."

Grandma laughed out loud. "What new things have you brought today? It's hard for you to think about us elders every day."

"These are all things a grandson should do." Lu Yun pointed at the contents of the box and explained to Grandma in detail, including the name of each card and the specific rules of play. "The ivory carving took some time and effort, otherwise it would have been delivered long ago."

After listening to Lu Yun's explanation, the old man had almost memorized the names of the cards and was very interested. "Quick, let's play a few games according to what Jiang Nu said."

Hearing the sound of mahjong behind her, Lu Yun had already begun to consider the possibility of making mahjong into Changfuji's peripheral products. Bumping into Manager Liao, Lu Yun smiled and called him "Mr. Liao."

Manager Liao looked at the small cubes and the box containing the small cubes on the table. Suddenly, he understood what the Second Young Master was doing with Miss Luo every day.

Alas, this unfortunate child!

Manager Liao whispered, "Your Majesty?"

The King of Nanyue played a card: "One Cake."

Manager Liao raised his voice slightly and said, "Your Highness."

Princess Gao, without even looking up, threw out a card: "Five of a Kind."

Manager Liao: “——”

The battle lasted from noon till dark, and everyone was still not satisfied. The King of Nanyue regretfully gave up and said that he was not good at fighting today, so he would fight again tomorrow!

Holding the small teapot, the King of Nanyue smacked his lips and said, "Old Liao, what's the matter?"

Manager Liao sighed, "Your Highness, it turns out that the Second Young Master has been taking the Second Miss of the Luo family to play cards at the Princess's godsister's house."

The King of Nanyue was stunned. "Qin Dashou?"

"Exactly."

The King of Nanyue stroked the small teapot and fell into deep thought, "Old Liao, Tan Dashou has an extraordinary background."

Manager Liao had been with the old prince for half his life, and he immediately understood what the old master meant. "Those are all things of the past."

The King of Nanyue sighed suddenly, "The Chang family, the Chang family is so confused. Princess Changning was the most favored legitimate princess by the late emperor and the empress dowager. In order to win over the Chang family, the late emperor did not hesitate to marry Qin Jing to her. The Chang family has been showered with glory, but people are never satisfied."

In terms of bloodline and status, this silly boy from his family is no match for her. In the early years, people as far away as Nanyue had heard that the Empress Dowager Shangsheng treated Princess Yuanfu like a treasure.

Manager Liao said, "Your Highness, perhaps the Second Young Master was just having fun for a moment."

The King of Nanyue shook his head. "My silly son is a bit foolish, but he still has some stubborn bones. Last time, the girl from the Dong family caused a disturbance at Changfuji, and the silly boy rushed over to help. Not only did he embarrass the girl from the Dong family, but he also greatly lost face for the government office."

Manager Liao was puzzled. "Should we intervene? And what about the young master Gao?"

Gao Tai sent Gao Di, who was of marriageable age, back to South Vietnam. He originally wanted to marry Gao Di to a noble lady from South Vietnam. Moreover, Gao Di was not bad looking and was even more pleasing to the eye than the second young master. Manager Liao also protected him.

"Don't worry about that. Princess Yuanfu and the princess are like sisters." The King of Nanyue tugged at the hairs on his chin. "Forget it, let them make trouble for now. And Gao Di looks honest, so I have a plan."

Lu Yun has been busy checking accounts recently, one for Changfu Ji and the other for the royal palace, simply because the people who are supposed to be in charge of these two accounts are now busy playing mahjong.

Lu Yun took on the logistical work without complaint, adhering to the housekeeper principle that if the water is too clear, there will be no fish, and there should be a limit to both control and release. However, she actually discovered several major mistakes and omissions. After finding an opportunity to report it to Princess Gao, she handed the matter over to Housekeeper Zhou.

After finishing the work at hand, the second batch of mahjong was delivered to Anlanyuan. This batch of mahjong was made of red wood. Originally, ten sets were ordered, but Muyangju intercepted half of them. Therefore, Lu Yun only saw five boxes and a piece of high-quality jadeite rough stone.

After hearing what happened, Lu Yun was at a loss whether to laugh or cry. Ever since the cards became popular in South Vietnam, the chieftains from all over the country all followed the lead of the palace in terms of food and entertainment.

Even the Yunjian that she had brought back from Kyoto last time had caused a small sensation in Nanyue. So after learning that the palace had obtained new things, the chieftains from all over the country took the opportunity to submit official documents to come and find out. In the end, Zhou Boli exchanged a piece of jadeite for her five boxes of mahjong.

With more than two months until Mid-Autumn Festival, it was time to prepare the gifts for Kyoto. Lu Yun, her slightly swollen belly, circled the stone twice, wondering if this stone would be enough for a set of mahjong. She could also make several more sets using sandalwood, ivory, or mother-of-pearl.

Lu Yun counted on her fingers: two boxes for the Lu family, two for Roujia, and two for her sister. Forget about Emperor Wende; the Baibanjiao incident had just happened, so it was better to be cautious.
