Chapter 142: Games

Since Liang Youxiao decided to go back to watch the show, naturally he couldn’t just sit back and watch.

Although he and Xi Rui are both dandy, they are not in the same circle as that group of old dudes. They were just playing in their games.

So if he wanted the Emperor’s uncle to join the show, he had to have contact with the other party first.

What the dandies liked most was nothing more than eating, drinking, and having fun to seek excitement.

But there was nothing new in the capital now.

These skateboards and scooters probably won’t be able to catch the interest of the Emperor’s uncle, who was already in his forties.

As soon as Shi Qingluo heard her question, she guessed what he was thinking.

She asked: “What does the old dude you mentioned like to do daily?”

She knew that two days ago, her husband seemed to have inadvertently mentioned the Emperor’s uncle’s guidance. The best candidate that Liang Youxiao thought would be best to defeat his scumbag father.

Liang Youxiao didn’t even think about it. “He frequently visits common places like brothels and casinos.”

He hasn’t heard that the Emperor’s uncle loves food as much as he does.

Otherwise, he will Shi Qingluo prepared a few more recipes, and he took them back to the capital to make them and invited the Emperor’s uncle to come and eat them for a few days.

After listening to what he said, Shi Qingluo thought for a while and asked, “Does this mean he also likes to go to gambling houses to play a lot?”

Liang Youxiao nodded, “Yes, he spends half of the month in the gambling house.”

Shi Qinglou snapped her fingers and said, “Great.”

“We can make some mahjong and play cards.”

Mahjong and card games are popular among so many people in modern times. People who liked to go to gambling houses in ancient times should not be exempt from this custom.

Liang Youxiao was puzzled, “What are mahjong and playing cards?”

“You don’t know even after I tell you. You’ll understand when I get it out and play with you.”

Shi Qingluo added: “So we can also open a gambling house to play mahjong and playing cards.”

They’ll just wait for the cash every day.

Liang Youxiao’s eyes lit up: “It sounds good, but you should make it first and let me try it out.”

When he was bored in the capital, he would occasionally go to the gambling house to play a few games.

The business of gambling houses in the capital was not generally good.

He doesn’t want to have anything to do with it.

But if there is a new way of playing, he can rely on his strong family background to open a business.

Shi Qingluo nodded, “Okay, then you wait while I go to the old house.”

For mahjong, she needs to find Xiao Mu and his son to make carvings.

Then she will wait for her husband to come back and play with the cards together.

The paper they made recently accidentally became very thick, and now she can use it to make playing cards.

Although Liang Youxiao wanted to follow and join in the fun, he still held back, “Okay, you go.”

Shi Qingluo rode her scooter and went directly to their old house.

The cement workshop in the village has been doing very well recently, and many roads in the village have been paved with cement roads by villagers.

To thank Shi Qingluo for the cement recipe that she gave everyone to make money, the people from the workshop paved the road from the Xiao Family’s new house to the old house with cement.

Shi Qingluo went to Xiao Mu and his son and briefly talked about mahjong. The two began to see wood and make the mahjong-sized blocks she mentioned first.

Then Shi Qingluo drew the mahjong with pen and paper and asked the father and son to carve each piece.

Shi Qingluo asked Xiao Mu: “How long does it take to complete a set of mahjong?”

She also hoped that Liang Youxiao would return to the capital as soon as possible to work.

Xiao Mu looked at the painting on the paper and said, “It will be completed tomorrow.”

Shi Qingluo nodded, “Okay, let’s get it done as soon as possible.”

“Okay!” Xiao Mu could see that she was in a hurry.

After being hired by the Xiao Family, he and his three children have had good food and housing, and they still have a decent salary every month. He was very satisfied.

So he also hopes to do more for their employer.

When Shi Qingluo came out of the old house, it was almost dinner time.

As soon as she went out, she saw Xiao Hanzheng coming from not far away.

“What are you doing here?”

Xiao Hanzheng smiled and said, “I came here specially to pick you up.”

Shi Qingluo slid forward on the scooter and smiled sweetly, “Thank you for your hard work.”

Xiao Hanzheng saw her gliding over and asked, “Is this the scooter you made?”

Shi Qinglou nodded, “Yes!”

She asked: “Do you want to try it?”

Xiao Hanzheng also became somewhat interested, “Okay!”

So after listening to Shi Qing Luo teach how to slide, he held onto the handrail and started sliding.

Shi Qingluo looked at her husband wearing a blue long robe while riding a scooter. Not only did she not feel out of place, but the more she looked at him, the more handsome he became.

Having good looks means people look good no matter what they do.

She was suddenly looking forward to what it would be like in the capital city shortly, with many men and women in ancient costumes skating on skateboards and scooters on the streets.

Xiao Hanzheng came back after skating around, “This thing is not bad.”

If there were concrete floors, using this walking would take less effort and the speed would be much faster.

Shi Qingluo said with a smile: “That’s why Liang Youxiao wants to cooperate with me to sell scooters.”

After telling him the details of the discussion.

Xiao Hanzheng lifted the scooter and walked to Shi Qingluo’s side: “This business is pretty good.”

Shi Qingluo took Xiao Hanzheng’s arm and said, “We can open a gambling house with him.”

Xiao Hanzheng was stunned for a moment, “Gambling house?”

Shi Qingluo nodded, “Yes, he wanted to get in touch with that old dude, the emperor’s uncle, so he wanted me to think of something that the old dude could play, so I thought of mahjong and play cards.”

Then she talked briefly about how to play mahjong and play cards.

After hearing this, Xiao Hanzheng smiled and said: “If this appears, it will be very popular in the capital.”

“With Liang Youxiao’s background, there is absolutely no problem in opening this kind of gambling house.”

If it were Bai Xu, it can be estimated that within a few days of opening, the gambling house would have become someone else’s.

Shi Qingluo smiled and said: “I just took a fancy to his identity and background.”

“You can do whatever you want.” Xiao Hanzheng looked down at her with gentle eyebrows: “I’m here.”

He liked how his little wife making a fuss and indulgent. No one can destroy this beauty and specialties.

He will protect her.

As soon as Shi Qingluo raised her head, she met Xiao Hanzheng’s deep, gentle, and doting eyes, and her heart beat faster.

Seeing that there was no one around, she quickly kissed the side of Xiao Hanzheng’s face hard, “Zheng Zheng, you are truly the best husband in the world!”

If anyone shamelessly wants to rob her of such a good husband, she will never let that person go easily.

Of course, if Xiao Hanzheng takes the initiative to betray her, she will not want him.

However, she still has confidence in her loyalty to her husband.

The smile between Xiao Hanzheng’s brows and eyes became even stronger, “You are also the best lady in the world.”

The two walked home warmly arm in arm.

After returning home, Shi Qingluo and Xiao Hanzheng started making play cards by themselves.

They worked on it that night.

To save time, Shi Qingluo called Liang Youxiao and Fei Yuzhe to their courtyard.

In the study room, she taught them to play ‘fight the landlords’.

It was the first time for Liang Youxiao and Fei Yuzhe to play such a card game, so they became more and more enthusiastic as they played.

When it was time to go to bed, Shi Qingluo said a little sleepily: “I think you have learned it. Let’s stop here tonight.”

Liang Youxiao was having fun: “No, let’s play again.”

Shi Qinglou rolled her eyes at him and said, “Take the cards back to your yard and play by yourself. My husband has to go to the county school tomorrow.”

It can be seen that her young husband was also very interested in this game, but he can restrain himself from being addicted.

Liang Youxiao seems to like playing all night long, but they don’t have the energy or time to accompany them.

But looking at Fei Yuzhe’s appearance, there would be a high probability that he will play with him all night long.

Sure enough, these fun-loving ancients could not escape the magic of fighting the landlords.
