Sir Song, do you want to pledge yourself to me?

Chapter 262 Kill Them All

"You don't know any of it? Fine, fine, then I'll study hard first, and then next time we get together, I'll show off my skills at the card table and crush them all."

Shen Songhe recalled the dullness of past ladies' gatherings, which were nothing more than endless and meaningless comparisons among each other, making her impatient to participate. If mahjong could be used as a pastime at gatherings, she would be quite interested. "Nuannuan, let's go, let's start learning."

Ji Nuan led the group back to the pavilion, inviting Wu Mama, Xue Qing, and Xue Xiang to join them. Ji Nuan patiently explained the basic rules and gameplay of mahjong to them. She explained and demonstrated, and once everyone understood, Ji Nuan arranged for the four of them to sit around the mahjong table and begin practicing.

At first, everyone was a little unfamiliar with the game, flustered but unable to conceal their excitement. But after two rounds of instruction from Ji Nuan, they gradually found their rhythm and began to immerse themselves in the joy of mahjong.

"Sister Xueqing, you see, all the cards played by Mother Wu are strips. She probably has a bunch of bamboos in her hand. You must not play this card." Biliu, who was standing behind Xueqing, enthusiastically analyzed the situation for her.

Xue Qing looked up at Mother Wu opposite her, only to see Mother Wu smiling at her. There was no sign on her face that she was going to win any card, making her difficult to understand.

Xue Qing hesitated for a long time, and finally gave up the card she had drawn and played a two-of-a-kind card instead.

As soon as the second one landed, Mother Wu smiled so hard that her eyes wrinkled. "Haha, Xueqing girl, I'm so sorry. I won this round by luck."

Several people leaned over to look at Mother Wu's cards.

Wow, it was a luxurious seven small pairs, and she even won the last two cards.

Xue Qing looked at the two cards she had just played and smiled bitterly, "Mother Wu has such good luck."

Everyone reshuffled and continued.

Ji Nuan sat behind Shen Songhe, looking at the cards and chatting. "Aunt Shen, I've asked a few ladies to come visit the garden tomorrow. Do you want to join us? We can play mahjong with them."

Shen Songhe, "Did you invite Madam Chen and the others?"

Ji Nuan, "Yeah. I don't have the patience to bring those people who like to show off their status to you. I don't want to make you suffer and make me feel bad."

Mother Wu smiled and interjected, "Young lady is truly Madam's caring daughter-in-law. You've figured out Madam's preferences so quickly. Madam is right to love you."

Ji Nuan laughed, "That's right, Aunt Shen only has Song Jinbai as her son, and I will be her only daughter-in-law in the future. If she doesn't love me, who else will she love?"

She didn't think her request was excessive at all. After all, according to the rules, concubines were not considered daughters-in-law except for the legal wife. Besides, Song Jinbai had promised that she would be his only companion for the rest of his life.

Shen Songhe smiled fondly and said, "This child really doesn't know how to be shy at all." As she spoke, she played a card and then changed the subject, "Didn't you tell me before that this place can be rented out for banquets and parties? Of course I'll come tomorrow and help you spread the word at the mahjong table. Let them know how convenient and worry-free it is to host guests here. They should choose this place as their first choice for any future events."

Ji Nuan didn't expect that when she just casually mentioned inviting people to visit the garden, Shen Songhe immediately guessed that she actually wanted to use the ladies to promote Yingfang Garden, and she was so proactive in cooperating with her.

She massaged Shen Songhe's shoulders attentively, saying sweetly, "Aunt Shen is so thoughtful. I'll be thankful for your concern when the time comes."
