Chapter 277 Mahjong (2)
"Brother and sister-in-law, what are you doing here? Is there anything fun?" Li Hong happened to be taking Si Jing for a walk in the villa, and saw Ji Xiaou and Fang Chen in the pavilion, and asked.
"No, you are still in the mood to take a walk in such a hot sun. I admire you." Ji Xiaomu saw Li Hong and Si Jing and waved lazily.
"Hehe." Li Hong and Si Jing had just entered the honeymoon period. The two wanted to stick together every day, so how could they feel hot?
"Are you bored, sister-in-law? Do you want to arrange some dancers to entertain you?" Li Hong suggested when he saw Ji Xiaomu looking bored.
There were dancers and musicians in the villa, all of whom he had trained before.
"I'm not interested. What's so good about that? No, no." Ji Xiaomu had no interest in this kind of performance. She knew why Li Hong trained these dancers in the past. There was nothing to watch.
"Where are third brother and the others?" Li Hong walked around the villa and didn't see Tie Lao San and others. Now he only saw Ji Xiaomu and Fang Chen, so he asked curiously.
"In the garden!" Fang Chen glanced at Li Hong and said.
Because of Fang Chen's glance, Li Hong instantly remembered that he had abandoned Tie Lao San and others in the morning and escaped Fang Chen's punishment. Then he thought about what the housekeeper said that the garden had been turned into a martial arts training ground. He decisively closed his mouth and took two steps behind Si Jing.
Ji Xiaomu knew that Fang Chen had been teased by his brothers these past two days because he tried to coax her, so she was looking for an opportunity to "show love" to his brothers.
She had no intention of pleading for them at all. It was their fault for coming up with such a bad idea. When she thought of the bowl and the flowers, Ji Xiaomu didn't want to plead for them at all.
Suddenly, Ji Xiaomu looked at Li Hong and Si Jing, then looked at herself and Fang Chen, exactly four people.
"Why don't we play mahjong? There are just four of us." Ji Xiao's eyes sparkled and she said, "Butler, butler~Butler Lu~"
"What do you want, Madam Ji?" In response to Aunt Ji's call, Steward Lu quickly came to the pavilion and asked.
"Can you find someone to help me make a set of small cubes made of bamboo, bone or white jade, with patterns or words engraved on them, a total of 136 pieces..." Ji Xiaomu carefully stated her request. It was the first time that Butler Lu heard it, so he quickly took out a notebook and wrote it down.
After Ji Xiaowu finished speaking, she looked at Butler Lu. "Can it be done? How long will it take?"
When Li Hong heard this, he immediately signaled to Manager Lu, asking him to get it done as quickly as possible.
"Madam, please give me an hour and I will make it for you." Butler Lu said immediately after catching a glimpse of his master's eyes.
"So soon?" Mother Ji originally thought she would have to wait until tomorrow, but she didn't expect Butler Lu to say that it would only take one hour.
"There is white jade in the villa's warehouse. We just need to carve it. But we are pressed for time, so the work may be a little rough." Butler Lu said carefully.
"It's okay, as long as we can play." Ji Xiaomu said with a smile. She didn't have high requirements, as long as she could play.
"Yes, sir." Steward Lu said with a smile, turned around and left.
When they were in a corner where Ji Xiaowu couldn't see them, Steward Lu called out the secret guards, "Go and invite all the craftsmen over. Make sure they make this mahjong for the master as quickly as possible."
"Yes." The secret guard immediately took the order and retreated.
As quickly as possible, the secret guards invited seven craftsmen to the villa. The craftsmen were bewildered when they were "invited" over. After hearing the butler's request, they picked up the top-quality white jade that was allocated to them with trembling hands and began to make the work.
"Masters, don't be afraid. As long as you do your job well, you will be rewarded greatly." The butler smiled at the seven craftsmen and took out seven silver bills worth one hundred taels from his arms and placed them on the table.
