1942 Chapter 1942-cooperation
Even if they didn’t say anything, they would still have to give the Gu family face.
When Gu Ren first heard what the outsiders said, he had been showing off in front of Gu shouxin and Cai Xiaolian for a long time. Other than the few of them who had transmigrated and Lu Zheng who knew the truth, everyone else thought the same as the outsiders.
Gu en, as a business partner, also felt that Lu Zheng was helping Gu Ren.
Gu Ren then told the Empress Dowager about the contents of the third volume. Grandpa and Grandma Gu did not know the contents either, so they were also listening with great interest.
They even attracted a few children to come over and listen. The Grand Empress Dowager did not let them leave. Just like that, they formed a circle and attracted all the young ladies and young masters from the various families who were between the ages of eight and thirteen and did not play cards.
The family did not bring any younger children. Apart from Gu en, everyone else who attended the palace Banquet was only eight years old and above.
Meanwhile, at the Mahjong table, Gu Xin was teaching a few Western princesses how to play Mahjong. After she was done, a young lady came over to ask Gu Xin to teach her.
When she walked over, she saw that they were old acquaintances. They were her brother Yuanyuan’s younger sister, Lu Yang, her younger cousin, Jiang Hong, and their friend, li Yuyan.
Jiang Hong was Lu Zheng’s aunt’s daughter. When Lu Yang and Li Shan were playing together, Jiang Hong was always following them around. Now that she had grown up, she was a year younger than Gu Xin.
Lu Zheng’s aunt was a concubine’s daughter in the Duke Zhengguo’s mansion. She was not born by Lu Zheng’s grandmother, but by Lu Zheng’s grandfather’s concubine. Her status in the Lu family was not even comparable to that of third Master Lu’s concubine. However, Lu Zheng’s aunt had married Jiang He, his grandfather’s subordinate. Jiang He was a military general who had made contributions to Yunzhou in his early years and had now been promoted to the second rank.
Jiang Hong had listened to her mother since she was a child, and subconsciously learned to please the Lin family and Lu Yang.
Li Yuyan was the daughter of the minister of Works, so she was considered close friends with Lu Yang.
With such a lineup, if they weren’t in Taihe Palace, Gu Xin would have suspected that the three of them were trying to mess with her.
After sitting down, she had a flash of inspiration. Hey, I’ve never lost a game of cards before. Why don’t I win some silver from the three of them to buy a gift for brother Yuanyuan?
Gu Xin had this thought, but she didn’t expect the three of them to have the same thought as her. I can’t scold you, I can’t beat you, I can’t bully you, but I can’t win your silver?
This is the emperor’s order, a small bet is good for the mood! The three of us won against you. I don’t believe that you can go and complain. You won’t even be able to complain.
After Lu Yang had interacted with the Lin group, he no longer targeted Gu Xin like before and was very friendly to her.
Jiang Hong and Li Yuyan listened to Lu Yang, so they were very harmonious on the table.
Gu Xin realized that the three of them were pretending not to know how to do it, but in fact, they knew how to do it.
After a few rounds, she realized that the three of them were cooperating.
After discovering their motive, Gu Xin was very calm and showed no mercy.
After that, Gu Xin started to win, win, and win. Furthermore, she learned from Princess Jinghe how the other noble ladies in the capital welcomed her despite their reluctance, and how to make them continue even if they were unhappy.
So, when all the chips in their hands were with Gu Xin, Gu Xin’s chit-chat and her naive behavior made the three of them feel that they shouldn’t leave. It would be so embarrassing if they left, as if they were poor. Gu Xin was so silly, she would definitely win if she brought more chips.
