Moreover, if she wanted to play mahjong, she would definitely not give up her seat to anyone else.

Heh, not even to her son…

Reality proved that Prince Anyang’s guess was right.

Later, after Prince Anyang received the mahjong set, he quickly arranged for someone to make one and send it to the capital.

He even sent someone to teach the Imperial Concubine how to play mahjong.

As a result, the Imperial Concubine made Consort Shu and the other concubines play mahjong with her.

Consort Shu did not have time to be sad.

She went to the Imperial Concubine’s bedchamber every day and became the Imperial Concubine’s most loyal companion.

After that, word spread out and mahjong slowly became popular in Emperor Yan’s harem.

Almost all the concubines fell in love with mahjong. They played cards every day, and there were fewer fights and schemes.

Mahjong soon became the most popular activity among the capital’s aristocrats.

On New Year’s Eve, everyone in the Liu residence slept very late.

It was not until after midnight that the servants went to light the firecrackers that everyone went to sleep.

The next day, New Year’s Day.

As soon as Liu Shi left, everyone brought gifts to pay their respects to her.

Hei Gang and his wife had given him a precious jade Buddha. It was obvious that it was worth a lot.

Liu Shi was not stingy and gave each of them a red packet of 10 taels of silver.

Lin Xiaoyue and Li Xiao gave Liu Shi a fox-fur coat, which was warm and beautiful.

Liu Shi loved it dearly. After giving the couple a red packet of 10 taels of silver, she followed her daughter’s arrangement and went to the backyard to change into the fox-fur coat.

Liu Shi, who had changed into a fox-fur coat, looked very noble.

When Prince Anyang and Princess Anyang saw this, they were very surprised.

He felt that Liu Shi’s bearing was actually not inferior to the wives of some of the aristocratic families in the capital.

He even thought that Liu Shi looked a little familiar.

However, when he thought about it carefully, he couldn’t remember where that sense of familiarity came from.

To everyone’s surprise, after seeing Lin Xiaozhi and Xiao Qing paying their New Year greetings to Liu Shi, Princess Anyang also came forward to join in the fun.

He even gave her a gift.

It was a heavy box, and one could tell at a glance that there were many good things inside.

Prince Anyang naturally followed. The two of them bowed to Liu Shi respectfully.

This shocked Liu SHi.

She quickly helped the two of them up, then hesitantly stuffed a big red packet into each of them.

Fortunately, she had already guessed that there would be many people who would wish her a happy new year today, so she had already prepared many.

The big red packets were filled with 10 taels of silver for his family.

The smaller ones were 2 taels for the servants in the residence.

There were also some smaller red packets. She only put 2 wen in each.

These were for the village children who would come to visit later.

When she lived with the Lin family, she rarely encountered children asking for red packets.

However, it was different this year. The Liu family was now the richest in Daishi Village. There would definitely be children coming to visit.

At this moment, Liu Shi was glad that she had money on hand and had packed a box of red packets in advance.

Otherwise, she would not have enough to give out.

“Thank you, aunty!” Prince and Princess Anyang smiled and thanked her.

Holding the heavy red packet, he was all smiles.

Yes, after playing mahjong with Liu Shi last night, the two of them no longer called Liu Shi Madam, but “aunty”.

This was actually a sign that the relationship between Prince Anyang and the Liu family had become closer.

Seeing this, Liang Yu also took a box and went forward.

He gave the box to Liu Shi, bowed and cupped his hands, wishing her a happy new year.

After what happened just now, Liu Shi was no longer afraid.

She happily called Liang Yu up and gave him a big red packet.

“Thank you, aunty!” Liang Yu also smiled and thanked her.

Holding the red packet, he smiled contentedly.

Then, the servants came in to pay their New Year’s greetings.

The people of the Liu family were generous. In addition to the presence of Prince Anyang and the others, the servants of the Liu residence also received a lot of red packets today.

After eating Tang Yuan for breakfast, they started to make poker cards.

Prince Anyang and his wife, Li Xiao and his wife, Hei Gang and his wife, Liang Yu, and Xiao Yang participated.

After some discussion, they finally managed to make two decks of poker cards before noon.

Two decks of poker cards were not enough, so everyone suggested that they continue in the afternoon.

Prince and Princess Anyang were of high status. They had already been given a deck of poker cards, but they still expressed that they wanted to continue making poker cards with everyone..
