Chapter 11: Return
"I see. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info" Zhang Zhaohua nodded and said: "Then what does this small four-corner grid mean by 'gifting'?"
"It's the meaning of giving lottery heads," Duan Ge'er was obviously familiar with the rules, and explained: "If a player wins the top prize, other players will give him a gift; if he is promoted from Shangshu to Taishi, he will also give a gift; when a player enters the same yamen, the official with a small character will give a gift to the official with a large character, and then the yamen will give a gift to the first one who arrives later." These four rules for gift-giving must be followed, but what to give is up to the player to decide. β
Zhang Zhaohua laughed, his heart is really interesting, isn't this the rule of officialdom in the open and in the dark?
"Then let's set the lottery head," Duan Ge'er thought for a while and said, "How about the ground mouse?"
The ground mouse is a kind of small cannonball, when it explodes and blooms, it is colorful, and the sound is particularly loud, the best thing is that there is no lethality, at most it is to set off a short wave of air to lose the eyes for a while, this thing is only in Yongcheng County, the countryside is really rare, and there are also merchants who have sold it with a burden, asking the price of a person who actually wants three copper plates, which also attracts the children in the village to look at it greedily.
"Ground mouse," Zhang Zhaohua said, "That's a valuable thing, I don't have it." β
"Then what should I do," Brother Duan looked at her and suddenly felt his face hot again, and said, "Then, then I'll give you a few, and see who wins in the end, take all the ground rats away." β
"Tian Tian has no color head," Zhang Zhaohua said: "How many ground mice do you have?" This way, I don't want your ground mouse, if I lose, I will spell you a bean sticky painting of Daiyu burial flowers." β
"Who is Daiyu," Duan Ge'er was puzzled, "Why do you want to bury flowers?"
"Who do you care who she is," Zhang Zhaohua said: "It's just a girl, her name is Daiyu, and she looks like she is carrying a hoe and a basket." β
The bean sticky painting is actually very simple, especially the Daiyu funeral flower graphic proposed by Zhang Zhaohua himself, which is even simpler - because Zhang Zhaohua can spell the tangram, she can put together a Daiyu funeral flower figure, and then fix the tangram under the drawing paper, paint it with shavings water, and paste it with five-color beans.
Duan Ge'er had never seen this bean sticky painting, but after hearing Zhang Zhaohua's flickering, he agreed, as for Tiantian, Duan Ge'er asked her to use the remaining two caramel in her hand as a color.
When he started, Zhang Zhaohua was not very lucky, he threw a "stolen goods", and Duan Ge'er threw a "de", and suddenly jumped to the position of "head of the case", Tian Tian finished with them for a while, and felt that it was not very interesting, because she was young after all, and she couldn't understand a lot of official positions, and she didn't understand how much of the official function she got after running a few more steps, so she simply threw the chess pieces and went to swing.
The rest of Zhang Zhaohua and Duan Ge'er were playing with great interest, but Zhang Zhaohua always threw "gong" or "stolen goods", which caused her to move forward quickly, and when she finally touched the yamen of the Ducha Yuan, Duan'er had already run to the position of the secretary of the Ministry of Rites for a while.
"It seems that your official fortune is prosperous," Zhang Zhaohua said dissatisfiedly: "I am only six grades, and you are all two grades!"
"It's hard to say," although Brother Duan'er was a little proud, the corners of his mouth were still pursed, and he said: "Even if you have achieved the position of the largest Taishi, there is still a time when you get the 'stolen goods' and go back to the sixth department!"
According to Duange'er, the final part of the game is the "Taishi" position, but the "virtue" must be thrown on the "Taishi" position, and the "glory" can be considered as a complete merit.
Zhang Zhaohua listened to it and thought about it, the ancients of the heart can be said to attach great importance to the beginning and the end, the so-called "success and fame and retirement", those who can be able to stand up to the sky and retreat with their whole body will be praised, but there are very few such people. In fact, although this game is small, and the rules of play are similar to some later board games such as "Monopoly" or "Ludo", but the significance is much greater than those two.
"Congratulations," seeing that Brother Duan'er threw the dice three times in the position of the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and finally sat in the position of the Taishi, Zhang Zhaohua said: "Master Taishi, the lower official is going to give you a gift." β
"When I return, you will have to give a bigger gift!" Duan Ge'er grinned.
It's a pity that Duange'er didn't throw "De", as he just said, he got the "stolen goods" and then returned six parts.
After that, Duange'er threw seven or eight times, two of which sat back in the position of the Taishi, but he never threw a "de" out, but was chased by Zhang Zhaohua and entered the yamen of the Ministry of Rites.
"It seems that I still can't escape the gift," Zhang Zhaohua said depressedly: "When the lower official sees the superior, he still wants to give you a gift." β
"Hey," Zhang Zhaohua asked: "I think this 'de' is not very easy to throw, and it is not easy to play to gloryββ"
"To be a master, and then to complete your career with virtue, of course it's difficult," Duan Ge'er shook his head and said: "Why bother the wind and dust, the career is dangerous and tilting." In officialdom, one wrong step is often a catastrophe, which is to tell players that those who serve as officials can end up in a name, which is the true meaning of this game. β
Zhang Zhaohua looked at him in surprise and said, "You must not have said this, it was Grandpa who taught you, right?"
"It's not Grandpa," Duan Ge'er said, "There is a book in our library school that reads very well, and he said it when he was playing with us." β
"Your school, isn't it, how many students are there in the library school?" Zhang Zhaohua asked, "Are the students all the same age?"
"Mr. opened the museum to teach, but only accepted seven students," Duan Ge'er said: "Five are as big as me, and the remaining two are almost the time to perform the crown ceremony. β
Zhang Zhaohua nodded, threw a "de" out, and suddenly became on the same level as Duan Ge'er.
"I'm going to give it a try," Zhang Zhaohua said, "Another virtue!"
It's a pity that she threw a "talent", only took a step forward and walked to the position of Taibao.
After the two of them worked hard for a long time, Zhang Zhaohua reluctantly threw "De" and finally ended the whole game. When the two saw the chess pieces jump to the position of "glory and return", they both shouted three times, "The world is peaceful, and the whole world celebrates".
"Oh, it takes almost half an hour to play a game," Zhang Zhaohua said, "It's all about luck." β
"That's something you haven't seen fast," Brother Duan carefully put away the chess pieces on the side and said, "Senior Brother Yang can play until he returns to glory in half a moment, and he wins every time, and I haven't seen him lose." β
"I don't believe it," Zhang Zhaohua said, "He can win when he plays with everyone?"
"It's true," Brother Duan became anxious: "Our classmates don't admit defeat, I don't know how many times we have challenged, and we have obediently handed in the lottery every time." His reputation for playing this spread outside the museum, and he saw people who took ten taels of silver as a lottery head to look for him. β
"You sir, do you want students to gamble and make a show?" Zhang Zhaohua said in surprise.
"Mr. said that he was a borrower, he was not from us, and he stayed with us temporarily because his mother was sick on the way back," Duan Ge'er said: "He collected the lottery head for his mother's medical treatment, so there is no need to be harsh." β
"Could it be that those thought-provoking words like 'why bother the wind and dust, and the career is dangerous and dumped'," Zhang Zhaohua asked, "He also said it?"
"Well," Duan Ge'er said, "Although I don't quite understand what it means, it sounds old, and it's not a mistake to think about it." β
"Lao Cheng," Zhang Zhaohua looked at the expression of deep approval on her immature face, and couldn't help laughing: "Do you know what Lao Cheng is?"
