Roughly estimated, this large box should contain more than ten sets of Mahjong.

Damn it!

These three idiots are crazy!

Why send myself so many mahjong tiles?

Is this to make oneself gamble?

Selling the damn thing for half a day, and you just get more than ten sets of mahjong?

This is purely to disgust oneself!

"Second brother, why are you sending me so many Mahjong tiles?"

Yun Zheng was internally ranting wildly while pretending to be confused and asking questions.

"Do you know what this is called? Mahjong?"

The three looked at Yun Zheng in astonishment.

They still thought it was the first time Yun Zheng had seen this peculiar thing!

"I know, I saw someone play it a couple of days ago."

Yun Zheng nodded slightly.

"That's true!"

The second prince said with a smile, "These days, everyone in the imperial city loves to play mahjong. Not only are the nobles and royals enjoying it, but even Father and the concubines in the harem are playing."

I have to say, the spread of Mahjong has been incredibly fast.

The main thing is that this thing can both stimulate the mind and pass the time, making it a treasure for the idle concubines in the harem!

For Emperor Wen, playing mahjong with his concubines during his free time was also a form of enjoyment!

"You are truly too generous."

Yun Zheng laughed and said, "You all want to give me fresh things; just one set would be enough, why send so many?"

"Isn't it because your wedding is just around the corner?"

Yun Ting said with a smile, "During your grand wedding, the guests can't just sit around doing nothing, right? They can play mahjong to pass the time, so no one will say you've neglected your guests..."

"Indeed!"

Yun Zheng nodded in deep agreement, admiringly saying, "You three royal brothers have really thought this through! Then I'll put it away for now and take it out when needed."

"Let's not rush this for now."

The Fifth Prince waved his hand and asked again, "Sixth Brother, can you play mahjong?"

Yun Zheng nodded, "Sure, this thing is very simple; just watch it a few more times and you'll get it."

"Oh?"

The Fifth Prince's heart stirred, and he asked again, "Then how well do you fight?"

"Ah?"

Yun Zheng scratched his head, "What's the big deal about winning or losing? This thing just relies on luck! When luck is good, it's easy to win; when luck is bad, it's easy to lose..."

"No, no!"

Yun Ting shook his head and smiled, "Playing mahjong not only relies on luck, but also on how well you play."

"Is that so?"

Yun Zheng tilted his head and thought for a moment, "Whatever, I don't really like playing with this thing anyway, whether I play well or not doesn't matter."

Saying this, Yun Zheng was about to call someone to put away the mahjong.

Yun Ting stopped him and said seriously, "You really need to practice this mahjong! Just think, if tomorrow the Emperor is in the mood and wants you, the groom, to play mahjong with him, but you play all haphazardly, wouldn't that ruin his mood?"

"This..."

Yun Zheng furrowed his brows, desperately holding back his laughter.

He knew the purpose of these three bastards!

So, they're here to play mahjong with me, right?

These three bastards!

Are they unhappy because I'm giving myself a gift tomorrow?

Do you want to win back the money for the gift?

Wool comes from the sheep, right?

Seeing that Yun Zheng seemed to be swayed, the second prince immediately said, "Alright, since you have nothing to do today, the three of us will play mahjong with you. Consider it a way to teach you, so you don't play too poorly and ruin Father Emperor's mood."

"Alright!"

Yun Zheng thought for a moment and nodded, saying, "Then I'll have someone bring over some wine."

"What do you need the wine for?"

The fifth prince, not understanding the situation, asked.

Yun Zheng feigned confusion, "Isn't it that you drink when you lose?"

"This won't do!"

Yun Ting waved his hand repeatedly, "You never were good at fighting. If I get you drunk and you mess up tomorrow's matters, Father Emperor will surely give us a severe lesson."

"Then are we just going to play like this?" Yun Zheng scratched his head, "Just doing this for fun doesn't seem very meaningful, does it?"

The words that everyone was waiting for were those of Yun Zheng.

The second prince immediately said with a smile, "Playing without any stakes is indeed boring; let's put some silver on the line for fun!"

Dog thing!

They really do want to come here and take advantage!

Three idiots!

I could play mahjong when I was six years old!

Do they still dare to play hand-rolled mahjong with themselves?

A fool delivered to your door, if you don't take advantage of it, you're letting yourself down!

"This... isn't good, is it?"

Yun Zheng scratched his head and hesitated, saying, "What if Father Emperor finds out we are gambling? He will blame us."

"This isn't gambling."

The second prince shook his head and smiled, "Father is just playing with silver coins alongside those concubines in the palace; how could he blame us?"

"Is that so?"

Yun Zheng thought for a moment again and tentatively said, "Then let's play smaller; I'm really poor."

"No problem."

Yun Ting laughed heartily: "We were just here to play with you, to help you get more skilled. A little wager makes it more interesting; there's no need to go too big."

"Then let's play for one or two silver coins, shall we?" Yun Zheng looked worried about losing.

"One or two silver coins? Aren't you being a bit too petty?"

Yun Ting was not pleased, "No matter what, we have to play for at least five taels of silver!"

"What? Fifty taels?"

Yun Zheng exclaimed, shaking his head like a rattle drum, "No, no! Fifty taels of silver is just too much, I... I can at most bet twenty taels of silver..."

Five taels of silver at the bottom, what a load of nonsense!

Twenty taels of silver as a base is about right.

His teaching method for Zhang Xu is the blood battle of Chuanma.

With my own shuffling techniques, winning a few thousand taels of silver shouldn't be a problem.

Come on, come on!

Even the smallest mosquito is still meat!

A fat sheep delivered to your door, why not slaughter it?

I'm sorry, but it seems there is no source text provided for translation. Please provide the text you'd like me to translate

Listening to Yun Zheng's words, the three couldn't help but have a dark expression on their faces.

Yun Ting clearly said it was five taels of silver, okay?

This useless piece of trash!

How can this be heard as fifty taels?

Alright!

It was this useless person who said he would stake twenty taels of silver!

Don't blame them for being ruthless!

Today, I must win back the money I spent on his wedding gift, with interest!

"Alright, then let's go with what the sixth brother said!"

The second prince laughed heartily, "Sixth brother, you are the groom now. I've heard that those who are celebrating have great luck, so you must go easy on us!"

"Yes, yes!"

The Fifth Prince also nodded with a smile, secretly resolving in his heart that he would definitely leave Yun Zheng with not a single piece of armor intact!

Once it was agreed that the cap would be set at one hundred and sixty taels of silver, everything that followed became simple.

The four of them set up the table and began to play mahjong with their hands.

Yun Zheng initially wanted to numb them for a while, but after thinking it over, he decided against it.

What if these three birdmen win money and run away? Wouldn't that be a huge loss for me?

First, let's eat the meat that's right in front of us!

In the afternoon, should we continue playing? That's an afternoon matter!

With this thought in mind, Yun Zheng began to play with the three of them.

In the first round, it was still unclear who was rolling the dice, and cheating was a bit inconvenient. Yun Zheng just played normally with them, striving to run the fastest and earn the right to roll the dice.

However, things did not go as hoped.

In the first three rounds, Yun Zheng was always ahead.

Yun Zheng decided to simply lose, not wanting to run ahead, and instead chose to numb a few people first.

By the time the fourth round came, Yun Zheng finally took the lead and gained the right to roll the dice.

"Sixth brother, you're being a bit petty here! You just won with one round, huh?"

Yun Ting couldn't help but mock Yun Zheng.

"I've already lost over three hundred silver pieces..."

Yun Zheng said with a pained expression.

"It's okay, it's okay, aren't you starting to win now?"

The Fifth Prince laughed heartily and began to comfort Yun Zheng, as if he were afraid that Yun Zheng would stop coming if he lost a bit of silver.

Soon, the fifth round began.

Having obtained the power to roll the dice, Yun Zheng already had a plan in mind.

After arranging the cards, Yun Zheng successfully played the points he desired.

Yun Zheng hesitated to play his card.

"Sixth brother, what are you doing? It's been so long and you still haven't figured out what's missing?"

Yun Ting urged impatiently.

"This..."

Yun Zheng touched his head and said, "It seems like my hand is... a heavenly win?"
