Chapter 324 National Essence
Chapter 324 National Essence
Shishi wanted to refute, but when he heard the wife of the Duke of Protectorate mention the good things she brought, his attention was instantly diverted.
Seeing everyone staring at what he had in his hand with curiosity, he felt even more proud.
It's time to give these ancient people who have never seen the world a little shock.
Shishi first grinned mysteriously at everyone, and then did not explain directly. Instead, he asked the wife of the Duke of Protectorate to set up a square table in the hall.
Seeing that the little girl wanted to keep the secret but never mentioned the gambling again, the wife of the Duke of Protectorate was happy to cooperate.
He waved his hand, and soon a servant brought in a large square table.
After the servant who moved the table left, Shisi frowned and tried hard not to laugh out loud.
With his head held high, he walked to the square table carrying the box under the gaze of everyone in the hall.
A thud.
The box was placed heavily on the table.
Everyone was startled, and then saw the little girl put her hands on the box.
Snap, snap~
There were two more crisp sounds.
Before everyone could react, they heard another crackling sound. It was clearly noisy, but when it reached the ears, it inexplicably became the crisp and pleasant sound like the collision of jade.
When everyone came back to their senses from the pleasant sound, they found that it was the little girl holding up the box that had been opened at some point, and pouring out the things inside, making the sound.
Then he looked at the table which was almost covered with unknown objects.
"ah!"
"Oh, what a waste!"
"Amitabha, Amitabha, these are all jade, right? Check to see if they are broken!"
.......
When the ladies saw what was on the table, their exclamations became louder and louder.
There is no other reason, it's just that the pieces on the table are as white and lustrous as the finest mutton-fat white jade on one side, and as imperial emerald green as top-grade jadeite on the other side. At first glance, there is no flaw or color.
Two completely unrelated jade colors appear on the same piece of jade, and the two colors are clearly distinguished, yet appear natural.
It can be said to be the best of the best!
What is even more shocking is that there are more than one piece of this top-quality jade!
This table is full of jade pieces, and except for the different patterns carved on the white jade side, the colors and sizes of the pieces around it are exactly the same.
Is this the toy the little girl was talking about?
Hiss~ Such a big deal, what’s the family conditions of that dead girl?
Is Her Majesty the Queen really just a country girl?
Several ladies rushed forward, as if the corpse had fallen on theirs. With painful expressions on their faces, they carefully checked one by one to see if the jade on the table was damaged.
He was even more horrified at the little girl's origins.
After all, even the emperor would find it difficult to find such a piece of top-quality jade.
But this little prince, who was said to be born in the countryside, fired more than a hundred coins.
To be able to do such a thing, could it be that she is actually the heir of some hidden family?
As soon as this thought came to mind, several ladies frowned.
It’s not because of the girl’s identity, but…
Why does this top-quality jade feel more and more wrong the more I touch it?
After all, she is the mistress of each family, so she has seen many good things, including high-quality jade.
The ladies touched and looked at it again and again without saying a word.
Well, it’s confirmed, something is indeed wrong.
But I can't tell what's wrong.
Before anyone could figure out what was wrong, Shi Shi, who had been holding it in for a long time, finally couldn't hold it in anymore.
"Aunt Liu, this is called mahjong. It's more fun than poker!"
The little girl looked at the wife of the Duke of Protectorate with sparkling eyes, with an inexplicable pride and a hint of expectation on her face.
What are you looking forward to?
The wife of the Duke of Protector of the Country said she didn't know.
Because she checked more carefully than the other ladies, she didn't even have time to look up at the girl who was speaking.
The wife of the Duke of Protectorate naturally noticed that these were not normal jades, but she knew that even if these were not rare and top-grade jades, they were definitely not ordinary things.
I don’t know if the little girl was brought out from home secretly. If it gets broken here, how will she explain to her mother?
After she carefully checked each piece and found that there was no damage, she breathed a sigh of relief.
When he raised his eyes, he met the little girl's eyes which were already somewhat resentful, and then he realized what the little girl had just introduced.
He said in a hurried and surprised manner:
"Oh? So this is called Mahjong?
I just wonder what kind of game this is? How can it be more fun than poker?
You know, ever since the last exciting battle with Xu and Xiao Wang, playing cards has become the number one entertainment in the mind of the wife of the Duke of Protector of the Country.
Finally, someone showed up to show their support. The resentment in Shishi's eyes, which was about to become reality, suddenly disappeared without a trace.
"hold head high!"
The little girl raised her curved face heavily, responding with great pride and certainty.
I've heard people say before that mahjong was the quintessence of the past world.
Not only is it the most fun, but how can such a national quintessence be considered gambling?
That is a great treasure that our ancestors used to cultivate sentiments and enhance friendship!
Although the wife of the Duke of Protectorate did not have much contact with the little girl, she still believed in what she said.
Especially after playing the poker games that the little girl taught her and the magic tricks she saw at the last Peach Blossom Banquet.
At the same time, I also understand more clearly what the little girl's face, which is still held high, is waiting for.
"Ahem~Wow~This thing is really that fun!
Shishi is truly amazing! I think only our little princess could come up with such an interesting item!"
From the awkward and slightly stiff tone, it can be heard that the wife of the Duke of Protectorate is still a little hesitant in front of outsiders.
But even so, the ladies next to him were dumbfounded.
At the same time, he suddenly recalled the last Peach Blossom Banquet, when this young prince was surrounded by many noble ladies who flattered him and smiled so hard that their teeth were showing.
So, the ladies immediately understood what he meant.
"Oh, that's right! This mahjong looks like the best stuff!"
"Haha~ Our little prince is really generous. He is willing to take out such a fine item for us to appreciate and play with~"
.......
When they have the opportunity to build a closer relationship with the real person by flattering him, why should they bother to flatter others and try to get information in a roundabout way?
The wife of the Duke of Protectorate looked coldly at the woman who had just been crying to her about how Her Majesty the Queen had disrupted the government in the court today.
But at this moment, in front of the main person, several ladies all had fawning and ingratiating looks on their faces.
Ha! Who is following you and us?
That was something the little girl brought specially for her to play with!
Up to this point, the ladies still thought that the toys the little girl was talking about were just precious jades, for people to admire and play with.
Until someone was pushed down by the little girl, she easily moved the pear blossom solid wood guest chair in the hall that required two or three people to lift together.
There was a guest chair on each side of the square table, and the wife of the Duke of Protector of the Country and three other ladies were forced by Shishi to sit down.
As for the people around them, Shishi was very considerate and arranged a circle of brocade stools around the table.
After everyone had been clearly arranged, the little girl began to carefully introduce the name of each card.
The ladies suddenly realized what was going on.
It turns out this is really for fun!
But when Shishi died in modern society, he was only seven or eight years old, so how could he play mahjong?
