Chapter 272

Jia Hui smiled after hearing this: "There is nothing to be embarrassed about, just keep playing."

"Mm."

Hearing his words, Qin Qin Qin Keqing's originally tense mood relaxed.

She had been worried that Jia Hui would dislike the women in the house playing cards and gambling.

She did not expect Jia Hui to be indifferent.

Jia Hui indeed had nothing to be concerned about.

After all, as he said.

This was one of the few pastimes for the women.

There was no need for him to deprive them of it.

After all, they stayed at home all day and could not go out often.

What did it matter if they played at home?

Money won and lost.

It all stayed within the family anyway.

Jia Hui even felt a bit itchy to join in.

Feeling eager to try.

But he would watch for a while first.

As it turned out.

Of the four women at the table.

Except for Lady You.

Including Qin Qin Qin Keqing, Lady Yan, and Diao Chan, they were all novices.

After all, Qin Qin Qin Keqing had previously been a sheltered maiden who stayed at home all day, and no one had taught her these things or played with her.

Not to mention Lady Yan and Diao Chan.

Dominoes only appeared in the Song Dynasty.

They were centuries apart.

Fortunately, they each had a strategist behind them now.

Zhao Zhao Zhao Paner was behind Qin Qin Qin Keqing.

Lady Yan and Diao Chan also had Sun Sun Sanniang, Song Song Song Yinzhang, and the others offering strategies.

Jia Hui was also a novice.

So he stood behind Qin Qin Keqing to learn.

Zhao Zhao Zhao Paner was surprised, but smiled and patiently taught him.

They were not just playing simple gambling cards.

But a combination of drinking, gambling, and word games, which was one of the ways ancient noble families amused themselves.

When issuing the command.

The issuer says one card.

The recipient replies with a line, and after three cards are spoken, they are combined to form the name of the set.

Then the recipient is required to rhyme with the previous line, whether it be poetry, idioms, or common sayings.

This is quite a test of a person's literary foundation and reaction ability.

Seeing Jia Hui also participating.

The beautiful Lady You and the others were even more excited.

So she laughed aloud: "Sisters, husband, let's all have two cups of wine first, that way the drinking game will be more interesting."

Qin Qin Qin Keqing and the other women all agreed with smiles.

The stunning Diao Chan, holding a small wine cup with a charming demeanor, laughed with infinite grace and allure: "It's the middle of winter, drinking a little wine is good to warm the body."

While speaking, she tilted her head slightly and drank it all in one gulp.

Qin Qin Qin Keqing nodded in approval and smiled: "Mm, it should be good to fall asleep after drinking."

She followed suit and drank a cup.

In an instant, her already peach-blossom-colored cheeks became even more beautiful and moving!

Seeing the beauty of the women after drinking, Jia Hui felt his heart itch.

Immediately, Jia Hui also drank a cup or two.

Everyone was slightly tipsy.

Lady You then said: "Jin Jin Yuanyang spent the most time with Jia Mu in the Rongguo Prefecture playing these games, so let her lead it this time as before."

Jin Jin Yuanyang looked at Jia Hui.

Jia Hui smiled and nodded.

【290】 Cherishing Qin Qin Keqing, Qin Qin Keqing wants to find a concubine for her husband! Ke Zheng pays a visit.

"Since we are in the game, no one should be standing."

"Quickly bring a chair for her to sit next to the husband and the First Lady."

Lady You ordered her little maid, Chaodou, to move a chair for Jin Jin Yuanyang to sit.

Jin Jin Yuanyang sat down half-reluctantly, thanking them for the seat.

She also drank a cup of wine.

Then she laughed and said: "The drinking game is as strict as military orders; regardless of status, I am the master; those who violate my words will be punished."

Hearing this.

Qin Qin Keqing, Lady Yan, Lady You, and Diao Chan all agreed with smiles.

Jin Jin Yuanyang then explained the rules, which were also for the benefit of Jia Hui and Li Li Li Zhangge who had just arrived: "Now I will name a set of dominoes, starting from the First Lady and going down in order, ending at the Fourth Concubine. For example, if I say a set, I will separate these three cards, first say the first card, then the second, and after finishing, combine them into the name of this set. Also, whether it is poetry, idioms, or common sayings, you must rhyme with the previous line. Those who get it wrong will be punished with a cup."

"You all listen carefully!"

Seeing the women nod, Jin Jin Yuanyang then smiled and said: "Here is a set, the one on the left is a 'Heaven' card."

Qin Qin Qin Keqing was the first, so she was a bit nervous, but she was intelligent and well-read, so she thought for a moment and said: "Above the head is the blue sky."

Everyone called out: "Good."

Jia Hui also nodded upon hearing this.

This is not hard to understand; it means the common saying 'one must rely on their conscience to be a person.'

Jin Jin Yuanyang said: "The middle one is a five-six combination."

At this time.

Jia Hui was bewildered.

"What does that mean?"

"My lord, this is the number of dots and the arrangement of a card."

Hearing this, Zhao Zhao Zhao Paner, who was beside him, whispered in his ear.

Her breath brushed against Jia Hui's ear while she spoke.

It was ticklish.

Her breath was Love Love Like orchids.

Jia Hui felt even more itchy in his heart.

Qin Qin Qin Keqing said again: "The plum blossoms on the six bridges are fragrant to the bone."

This time Jia Hui understood too.

Six bridges refers to the six bridges on the Su Causeway of West Lake; fragrant to the bone describes extreme fragrance.

Jin Jin Yuanyang said: "The remaining one is a six-combination."

Jia Hui didn't need to ask this time.

He knew it also meant the number of dots and the arrangement of a card.

Qin Qin Keqing said again: "A round red sun rises above the clouds!"

He didn't understand this time either.

He looked at Zhao Zhao Zhao Paner.
