Chapter Eighty-Seven: Learning to Play Cards
"You talk first, I'll go get my things, and I'll come down and leave in a while. Pen, Fun, Pavilion www.biquge.info" Ye Yunlan said a word and went up the stairs, he wanted to bring his things, it seems that their things have been taken down, and his baggage is still upstairs.
"Yun Lan, hurry up, we're all ready, Yiyi said that the four of us can play cards in the carriage. Bai Jinxuan looked up and saw that Ye Yunlan was coming down, so he shouted to him.
"yes? yes, I want to see how the wooden cards are played, it's interesting. Ye Yunlan said as she walked down, her voice was as calm as water, and she was not as excited as Bai Jinxuan.
"Well, Yiyi just said that he wanted to ride in our carriage, and he said that he wanted to play the newly made wooden card. Bai Jinyu agreed.
"Then let's go! Isn't the convoy about to leave?" Ye Yunlan said, following the two of them towards the door of the inn.
When they arrived at the door, they saw that the long convoy was ready to go, and Ding Dashan and Ding Yiyi were waiting for them in front of the carriage.
"Uncle Ding, why don't you take our carriage too!" Bai Jinxuan warmly invited Ding Dashan to ride in their carriage.
"Okay! It just so happened that Yiyi said that he wanted to play cards with you, and I was bored when I was idle, so I just watched you play cards!" Ding Dashan readily agreed, he was also bored along the way, and watching them play cards should pass the time.
"Cuilian, you and I are with you. Ding Yiyi didn't forget that there was Cuilian, so she asked Cuilian to follow her in the Bai family's carriage, but fortunately, the carriage was big enough, so it was still very loose to sit five or six people.
Ding Yiyi stepped on a small stool and got into the carriage first, then Ding Dashan also got into the carriage, then Cuilian and Bai Jinxuan, and after everyone got into the carriage, the convoy slowly began to move forward.
"Yiyi, how do you play the wooden cards you said?" Bai Jinxuan couldn't help the curiosity in his heart, opened his mouth and asked, and the others also turned their eyes to Ding Yiyi.
"Well, I'll introduce you to this wooden deck first. Ding Yiyi said and took out the freshly made wooden card, which was brushed with white paint, revealing the unique fragrance of wood.
The white wooden plaque is smooth to the touch, and although it is thicker than paper, it is already very thin.
Ding Yiyi said and picked up two wooden cards, one with the words "Dawang" engraved in red, and the other with the words "Xiaowang" engraved with black, Ding Yiyi took the wooden card and showed them: "See, this is the king and the king, different ways of playing have different purposes, but they are generally the largest." ”
Everyone looked at the two cards in Ding Yiyi's hand, and nodded in unison to indicate that they understood.
Ding Yiyi took out a stack of cards and pointed at it and said: "The numbers on these cards are what I saw from an ancient book, these numbers are one to thirteen, you see, this is one, this is two, this is three...... This is thirteen. ”
"Oh! We'll have to watch it a few more times to remember. Bai Jinxuan looked at the numbers, which were indeed different from the numbers they usually used.
Ding Yiyi heard him say this, and suddenly remembered that when he was learning numbers, the teacher made up a smooth way to teach them, and later there was a children's rhyme version:
Like a tree with long and thin branches,
Two like ducklings floating on water,
Three like a little ear,
……
Ten like chopsticks and eggs.
It was as if a child's voice was echoing in my head.
"It's very easy to remember, why don't I teach you a smooth slip? I made it up myself, and I couldn't remember it at first, but then I made it up to remember. Ding Yiyi said with a smile.
"Yes, yes, you say, we listen to you. Bai Jinxuan's eyes showed curiosity, and he urged.
Bai Jinyu looked like a good student, waiting for the teacher to teach them something.
Although Ye Yunlan was still light and breezy, she was also interested in these numbers, and there was some curiosity at the bottom of her dark and deep eyes.
"Then you can listen up. It looks like a tree with long and thin branches. Ding Yiyi's crisp and melodious voice sounded.
Everyone looked at the one on the wooden sign, and it really looked like a smooth branch.
"Two like ducklings floating on water. ”
Everyone looked at the two on the wooden plaque, which was indeed a bit like the head and body of a duck.
"Three ears listen to sounds. ”
And they recited silently in their hearts, and heard the sound like ears.
……
"Nine like a spoon can hold vegetables, ten like chopsticks and eggs. Ding Yiyi said this, looked at Ding Dashan and Bai Jinxuan, and saw that their mouths were repeating what she had said.
"How's it going, remember?" Ding Yiyi looked at the group of students expectantly like a little teacher eager to know the students' grades.
"Luckily, I've memorized it. Ye Yunlan's faint emotionless voice came.
"Hmm, what about you Jinxuan?" Ding Yiyi looked at Bai Jinxuan and Bai Jinyu again.
"We're almost! Although there are still a few I don't remember, but I should remember it after a lot of thoughts. Bai Jinxuan's mouth was still talking about what Ding Yiyi had just said.
"Then what is this?" Ye Yunlan asked as she picked up a wooden plaque with eleven written on it.
Ding Yiyi took the wooden card and looked at it and said: "This is eleven, you see that this ten is composed of one and one zero together, and eleven is two and one together." ”
"Oh, then this is twelve, right?" Ye Yunlan picked up another twelve-up and asked.
If there is two in front and one in the back, it is twenty-one, and if it is three numbers, for example, one, two, three numbers together are one hundred and twenty-three, and four numbers of one, two, three, and four are one thousand two hundred and thirty-four. Ding Yiyi explained.
"Oh, I see. Ye Yunlan said, this number is really interesting.
Ding Yiyi saw that he was interested in this number and said, "These numbers are very useful, I will tell you one by one in the future." ”
"Okay, I'll learn from you later when I have time. Ye Yunlan looked at Ding Yiyi's eyes with tenderness, although his voice still did not fluctuate, but his eyes had betrayed him.
Just when Ding Dashan looked over, Ye Yunlan restrained the emotions leaking out of her eyes, and replaced them with her usual Gujing Wubo eyes.
Ding Dashan had been exposed to these numbers before, so he completely remembered who they were, and Cuilian had already learned it with Miss every day, and no one asked Ding Yiyi how she knew this, and thought that it was taught by the gentleman in the school.
After the two brothers of the Bai family remembered, Ding Yiyi began to continue to talk about cards: "This deck of wooden cards has a total of four flower types, all from one to thirteen, you see, this is spades, this is hearts, this is plum blossoms, this is a square piece." ”
Ding Yiyi held four wooden cards with different patterns in his hand and explained, the four wooden cards exactly contain four suits.
At a glance, this pattern is easy to remember, and the name of the pattern is very consistent, and I remember it at once.
"Everyone remembers, right?" asked Ding Yiyi.
