Chapter 100 Unhappiness at the poker table

Mrs. Jiang, a poker friend, came forward and pretended to smile, but her eyes were fixed on Yun Xuemei's hand that was half-supporting and half-stretching on Mrs. Lu's arm, and said: "Whose little lady is this?

Such a good look! Madam, do you think this is your relative?"

"No. It's a friend I met recently! Isn't this the Lantern Festival? Let's take her out to relax." Mrs. Lu patted Yun Xuemei's hand on her arm and signaled her to calm down. "What are you doing here?

Go back to your table and don't hang around me."

Mrs. Lu greeted them politely and then pulled Yun Xuemei to the card table they had set.

The second floor of Chunming Building is a terrace made of a circle of fences, with screens and potted plants as partitions between each terrace. Facing the stage on the first floor, a semicircular extension extends, with two flower-and-bird paintings hanging on it.

Surrounded by standing screens, this card table here has the best view, and other tables cannot see here. Relatively speaking, the privacy is also the best.

The four of them sat down at the table, and a maid immediately brought them tea, refreshments, and a tray with playing cards. The steaming sencha was fragrant, and the tea cooked with seven or eight spices was very strong. It didn't quench your thirst at all.

.

The leaf tiles are the ancestor of modern mahjong. Like the Wanzi tiles, Tongzi tiles, and Suozi tiles in Mahjong, the leaf tiles also include Wenqian, Baizi, Wanguan, and Shiwanguan. In addition to the words marked on the cards, there are also

There are exquisite flowers, birds, insects and fish. There is also an exquisite bone dice used to shake the banker.

"Sister Lu, when did you meet such a beautiful sister, and you didn't even tell us! We just met such a fairy-like sister today! What is your surname, this lady? Oh, my surname is He, since Sister Lu

If you bring her to our card table, then we are one of our own, you can just call me Sister He, there is no need to be so unfamiliar!"

The speaker was a well-built lady. While speaking, she was pricking the candied fruits in the fruit plate with a silver skewer and putting it into her mouth. She wore two jewel-encrusted rings on her big white hands, and her nails were made of impatiens.

It was dyed red. One face was painted pale with gouache.

Her eyes on Yun Xuemei couldn't hide her envy, how could there be such a good-looking person!

"Come on, let me introduce you. This is Mrs. Jiang, the wife of Chi Langjun. The lamp stands on Shangyuan Festival Street today were all paid for by her family. There are dozens of hectares outside the county town.

Mr. Lu is one of the richest men in our county!" Mrs. Lu enthusiastically pointed to the other squire's wife, the one who came forward just now.

Yun Xuemei only nodded slightly as a salute: "Hello, madam. My surname is Yun."

"Then we won't be polite to you anymore. From now on, I'll call you Sister Yun! Are you here with the husband of the family today?" Several people were chatting while shuffling the cards.

"Sister Yun is so beautiful, none of us can compare to her! This look is the kind of good looks only a wealthy family can bring up! Look at her whole body, tsk tsk."

"No." Yun Xuemei was very calm. "The two sisters were joking. I have been a widow for a long time, where did I find a husband? Now I just open a small restaurant in the south of the city with my daughter to make ends meet!"

Kidney Bean said that if anyone asks, just tell the truth according to the current situation. They can get acquainted with the county magistrate's wife because of their own ability! If there is anyone who looks down on her, it is because others are petty and are not like her.

They have nothing to do with each other!

"Sister, you are so humble!" The two rich ladies obviously did not want to believe Yun Xuemei's words, and thought she was being self-effacing.

"That's right, Sister Yun is joking. The material you are wearing doesn't look ordinary. How can those mud-legged people who run restaurants afford silk? And you have such a beautiful head and face, you are so green!"

"It's not a joke. My family is indeed not rich, and these materials were rewarded by the county magistrate's wife! If it weren't for Sister Lu, we could only afford to wear linen!" Yun Xuemei said while greeting her, while unveiling the plaque seriously.

Mrs. Lu was a little confused after hearing this. Was this material given to her by herself?

It seems that the last time I rewarded ingredients was during the Chinese New Year. At that time, I didn’t go to the warehouse to pick out the ingredients myself. I just asked Mother Hu to take the little maid to the warehouse to pick out a few batches of good-looking ingredients to reward people. She didn’t take a look at it. She also

I don’t know what colors were awarded at that time.

I think it must be Hu's mother's handiwork, but she is a little confused. Is it possible that there are such beautiful fabrics in her own warehouse? Why doesn't she have any impression at all?

Hmm, but she knew Yun Yatou's embroidery skills. Maybe after buying the materials, the girl improved it herself.

She did have an impression of the headdress on Yun Xuemei's head. This jade headdress was given to her by her eldest sister when she got married. It was very attractive and she had never worn it since it was brought here.

Thinking of this, Mrs. Lu did not become suspicious, but praised while unveiling the plaque: "Don't mention it, I don't have time to wear the materials I have at home, so it is just right to give it to Sister Yun. Look at how beautiful this blue color is.

I definitely can’t wear this kind of fairy spirit. Sister Yun, how is your business? There are a lot of wild boar sales recently. If Yun Yatou can catch up with this trip, she can make a lot of money."

"She has always been good at doing business. She has been really busy these days." Yun Xuemei looked at the cards in her hand and her eyelids twitched. What a good luck, the card revealed this time can easily get the highest score.

of colors.

These words of Mrs. Lu confirmed that Yun Xuemei was rewarded by Mrs. Lu, and her family's business was indeed a small business.

The smiles on the faces of the two rich ladies could not be held back.

Just now, Mrs. Lu said that this was her friend. They thought she was some kind of relative who was related to the Fan Yang Lu family, or that like them, her wealth and status were rich enough for the Lu family to open her eyes, so they deliberately set up a trap with this woman.

Set is close.

I didn’t expect that he was really a small businessman?

There are four classes of scholars, farmers, industry and merchants, and Mrs. Lu is a noble "gentleman". These two squire wives are second only to scholars in the peasantry. Their family has dozens of hectares of land, and they are the leading landowners in Quwo County.

How do those businessmen deserve to be called sisters? It would only be a big businessman with a millionaire's wealth, but these small traders are no different from mud-legged ones!

Are the county magistrate's wives confused? They bring all kinds of fragrant and smelly things to their table?

What's more important is that the county magistrate's wife came from Chang'an and has a high level of vision. They spent a lot of money to show their loyalty to get this woman with a fifth surname and a seven-year-old family to look at her seriously.

How can you be so close to the county magistrate's wife? It sounds like she has a daughter!

They desperately want to marry their daughter to the Meng family, and from then on, their family will be related to the officials. Does this woman want to bring her daughter of a businessman who cannot be promoted to the stage to interfere with her?

When the two of them looked at Yun Xuemei again, there was a bit of contempt and sarcasm in their eyes.

Mrs. Jiang smiled: "Sister Lu, my family is busy with business, but you still invited her over to play cards! How can they have time to play cards on weekdays?"

Mrs. He tacitly sang along: "Yes, let's play big. It's not easy for a small family to do business and make a living. Don't let her lose everything when the time comes. How ugly would that be?"

How could Mrs. Lu not hear what they were saying? Upon hearing this, she curled her lips without leaving any trace.

Two idiots!
