Chapter 278 It was your carelessness
Yun Chengying and Yun Chengxi looked puzzled: "What are playing cards?"
Xu Ji unfolded the cards and explained to them, "They're just like the leaf cards you play here, but with more varied gameplay."
Xu Ji handed the playing cards over for them to see.
Yun Chengxi touched the smooth surface of the card and exclaimed in amazement, "The painting is so exquisite, much more beautiful than our leaf cards."
Yun Chengying was immediately intrigued by the exquisitely drawn playing cards and eagerly asked, "How do we play this? Teach us!"
Xu Ji shuffled the cards with a smile: "Let's play Dou Dizhu!"
He carefully explained the rules and showed them in detail how to play.
The two listened intently, and when he finished speaking, they both nodded and said, "We understand, let's begin."
"Okay." Xu Ji dealt the cards skillfully.
"Whoever gets the three of hearts becomes the landlord!" Xu Ji reminded as he dealt the cards.
Yun Chengying suddenly held up a card and exclaimed excitedly, "It's mine! I'll be the landlord!"
Yun Chengxi glanced at him: "You're the landlord, and the three of us are going to beat you up. What's so great about that?"
Yun Chengying confidently arranged the cards in his hand: "I have a very good hand, I'm not afraid to play one-on-one!"
Xu Ji smiled and reminded him, "Don't underestimate him, A Bao is really good at this."
Yun Qingqing deftly arranged the cards. "Let's change the rules. The landlord can find a helper, but that helper can't tell the landlord who the helper is."
She added, "The helper must behave normally; if the landlord discovers their identity, they lose."
“Okay.” Xu Ji immediately agreed, “It’ll be more fun this way.”
Yun Qingqing turned to Yun Chengying: "Eighth Brother, which card do you think you should choose as your helper?"
Yun Chengying laughed and said, "Whoever touches Xiao Wang can be my helper."
Upon touching Xiao Wang, Yun Chengxi couldn't help but groan inwardly: It's over! These two newbies are definitely going to lose as teammates!
However, his face remained calm, and he dared not show any extra expression.
"Let's begin." Yun Chengying arranged the cards and couldn't wait to play a straight.
He looked around at everyone with confidence: "My hand is so long, you definitely can't play it."
As soon as he finished speaking, Yun Qingqing played a card to continue the sequence he had played.
Yun Chengying frowned immediately: "Abao, how come you have such good cards?"
Xu Ji smiled and said, "Don't underestimate him. A Bao always has good luck when playing cards."
Yun Chengying's expression hardened: "I'm getting serious!"
Next, Yun Chengying fought very seriously. Yun Chengxi secretly helped him, but Yun Chengying treated him as an enemy and pushed him to the brink of defeat, ultimately losing.
Yun Chengxi couldn't help but curse, "Old Eight, you idiot, I'm your helper, and you're trying to kill me."
Yun Chengying looked at Yun Chengxi in disbelief: "Seventh Brother, you're actually my ally? Then why were you always beating me out earlier?"
Yun Chengxi slammed his last two cards onto the cushion in annoyance: "You're the one who beat me. I could have gone with just a pair of Kings, but you had to beat me with a pair of Aces. Being teammates with you is the worst luck imaginable. You can't tell friend from foe." As he spoke, he tore off a piece of paper and stuck it to his face.
Yun Chengying awkwardly touched his nose: "I didn't notice, it's just that you acted so unlike my teammate."
He tore off a piece of paper and stuck it to his face, saying, "Come on, let's keep going! This time I'm going to fight hard!"
Playing cards to pass the time quickly, and before we knew it, it was noon. The carriage stopped at the post station next to the official road.
Yun Chengying and Yun Chengxi had white paper strips stuck to their faces, and Xu Ji's face was also covered with paper strips, but Yun Qingqing had none.
"I'm not playing anymore!" Yun Chengying wailed, his face covered in slips of paper. "Abao, you're too good at cards!"
Yun Qingqing smiled and said, "It's because you were too careless."
The carriage curtain was suddenly lifted, and Yun Chenghao poked his head in: "Come out for dinner."
He was amused by the sight inside the carriage: "Why are you all covered in notes?"
Yun Chengying explained while pulling the note off his face, "We lost at cards and got these notes!"
"Playing cards?" Yun Chenghao raised an eyebrow, asking in confusion, "What are those?"
Yun Chengxi held up the playing cards and waved them: "These are the leaf cards from our area, but they're much more exquisite than leaf cards."
He pulled out a painting and handed it to the king, saying, "Look at this painting; even the painters in the palace can't compare."
Yun Chenghao took the cards and examined them carefully, his eyes flashing with amazement: "The painting is really good. How do we play? I'm not riding my horse this afternoon, I'll come and play with you guys!"
Yun Qingqing got out of the car with a smile: "Sixth Brother, let's rest for a while and I'll tell you how to play this afternoon."
"Okay." Yun Chenghao agreed with a smile, looking forward to the afternoon.
Yun Chengxi, Yun Chengying, and Xu Ji tore off all the paper strips from their faces and got off the carriage.
The group walked into the post station, where there were no other travelers yet.
Yun Chengxi was the first to enter the inn, shouting at the top of his lungs, "Innkeeper, bring out all your signature dishes!"
The shopkeeper smiled and agreed, "Alright, please sit down and rest, I'll instruct the kitchen to prepare it for you."
Yun Xun pulled Yun Qingqing toward the table: "Little aunt, sit with me."
The other three little ones also came over and sat at the same table with them.
Xu Ji, Yun Chengying, and Yun Chengxi also came over and sat at the same table with Yun Qingqing.
