Chapter 11: Backgammon
After everything was discussed, Li Huizhi took out two big ingots of silver and came out: "I don't know how much these medicines cost, you can take these two ingots of silver first, and if they are not enough when it is time to take the medicine, they will make up for it!" ”
Unexpectedly, Miss Sun became angry: "Sister Li, are you trying to underestimate the people of my Sun family?" For the sake of the people, you would rather offend those bully grain merchants and risk such a great danger, and I am the one who only does things when I see the money? If my family's 'Jishi Pharmacy' is so greedy for money, why don't my ancestors give up medicine and become officials, wouldn't it be faster to get money? ”
Li Huizhi hurriedly said: "Where do I mean that? It's just that your medicinal materials have to be bought with silver to buy them back, and you have to hire someone to fry them, and some costs still have to be charged! ”
But Sun Runan insisted on not accepting it, practicing medicine is a life-saving industry, and her ancestor Sun Simiao is a pioneer in initiating medical ethics discussions, and she is unwilling to lose the face of her ancestors. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
If she can help the tea farmers and mulberry farmers to eat enough, she is still willing to pay for this medicine.
Sun Runan insisted again and again, and Li Huizhi had no choice but to bring the silver back. She couldn't help but sigh, this ancient man just paid attention to the bones! Changed to a modern black-hearted pharmacist, when he encounters such a thing, he would like to charge you ten times the money, and he is well-intentioned to fill the medicine with some ineffective flour, and if he doesn't add anything trimeric light ammonia, it doesn't seem that he will do business!
With these intentions, the matter of buying grain cannot be shirked.
Once the matter is done here, then we can only wait for the day when Master Wei tells Yunmi.
It's very hard to wait. Because when I'm idle, I can't restrain myself from thinking about the person who disappeared.
This is not right......
Li Huizhi told herself that a woman born in the new era should not let her emotions be disturbed by these. What you should do and what you shouldn't do should have a very clear organization.
Even if you don't have something to do, you have to find something to do.
Instead of waiting for news from Master Wei, it is better to ask for it yourself. One person is short and two are long, maybe there is a better idea.
So after leaving the pharmacy, Li Huizhi took a carriage and went directly to the county yamen.
Li Huizhi didn't realize at all that the county lord's yamen was like his own backyard, so easy to enter. She thought that was the case for everyone to come here.
After passing through the yamen and coming to the backyard, it was still in the bamboo forest, there was still no popularity, and Wei Shuai was still writing and painting alone.
"I've already contacted the rice merchant, and in two days, let's go and get the rice back!" Master Wei knew Li Huizhi's intention, and said the key points concisely. Of course, the handwriting still doesn't stop.
"Two days?" Li Huizhi frowned.
"What's wrong? Too fast? Didn't you want to go right away the other day? Master Wei quipped.
"I'm in a hurry now! I don't know how many people starved to death! It's just that I ordered some medicine, and I don't know if I can get it in two days! Li Huizhi was a little anxious.
"Medicine? Do? Who is sick? Master Wei was stunned.
So Li Huizhi told Gao Hong and Xu Sheng about the plan discussed and the matter of ordering her own medicine.
When Master Wei heard this, his face was solemn for a while, he put down the paintbrush in his hand and began to think.
It also exceeded his expectations. He originally thought that he would buy three boatloads of rice first, and let thirty officials pull the banner of the county order, so that he could always come back safely all the way.
The master also reminded him two or three times that this was not enough, and he didn't take it seriously, thinking that the master was too timid. But it is not a trivial matter that the local diaspora boatmen have volunteered to escort the food back together, and they are all willing to bring their own weapons.
The prefectural magistrate is a civil official, and this is the first time I have seen such a scene......
For the county order, this matter has also become a tiger riding trend.
Li Huizhi walked up to the stone table and watched what Wei Shuai wrote.
"When is the spring flower and autumn moon? How much do you know about the past?
Xiaolou had another east wind last night, so the country could not afford to look back at the moonlight.
The carved fence and jade masonry should still be there, but the face has changed.
How sad can you be? It is like a river flowing eastward. ”
Belch......
Isn't this what I read out last time I helped Miao'er in the battle of Oiran? It's only been a few days, how did it become a big road goods? I didn't expect the county master to copy a copy so quickly! Li Huizhi was speechless. No wonder I saw the moist in Master Wei's eyes just now.
This sensual handsome guy!
Master Wei was also looking at the one he copied.
In the final analysis, it was also caused by those rebels who were uneasy about their subordinates. No matter who wins or loses, it is the people who suffer the most.
Unexpectedly, Li Huizhi, as a woman, has such a mind.
She took the lead in proposing to buy rice for the people in neighboring counties, and also contacted like-minded people who did not care about bloodshed. As a dignified county magistrate, how can he be willing to be left behind?
It's shameful enough to not be able to deal with local grain merchants, and it's hard to blame yourself for letting those tea farmers starve to death!
This trip, no matter what, he is determined!
It's just that Li Huizhi said that the medicine she bought......
What's on her mind? But it's a good idea. Hope it works.
According to the current situation, there will be a bloody war in two days, and these two days will be the calm before the storm. Master Wei was still quite emotional in his heart, but when he saw Li Huizhi who was free and easy, he suddenly felt calm.
He pretended to be relaxed and said, "Anyway, there is still some time, let's ...... Playing a game of chess? ”
Li Huizhizheng didn't want to go back, she would have to be alone after she went back, and she would be cranky when she was alone.
But Wei Shuai proposed to play chess, Datang's chess is nothing more than Go, but Li Huizhi can't do it at all! She thought for a moment, rolled her eyes, and said, "Then play backgammon, right?" ”
Li Huizhi was snickering in her heart, backgammon was a game she often played with her friends at home when she was a child, and at that time she was already known as the chess king in the surrounding area, "invincible opponents all over the world". Instead of playing chess that you don't understand, you should not play chess that others don't understand......
Sure enough, Wei Handsome asked, "What is backgammon?" ”
Li Huizhi proudly talked about the rules of the chess game when she was a child: "Fifteen backgammon is a chessboard with five lanes vertically and horizontally, there are two sides, one side holds fifteen sons, one side holds three sons, fifteen pieces can only be encircled, not eaten, and three subs can only be eaten, not surrounded, but they can only be eaten by one grid." That's it, it's simple, right? ”
Wei Shuai nodded, there are only five ways in the vertical and horizontal, which is much less than Go, it should be very simple.
Li Huizhi happily set up the chessboard, and then said: "I choose the black third son, what do you choose?" ”
Brother Wei was stunned, he had chosen it all and let others choose? I had to say, "That...... I'll choose the white fifteen! ”
"Great! Shall I go first? I'll walk here......" Li Huizhi has started to walk according to the routine of her childhood.
Belch...... Wei Yingwen thought for a moment and took a step.
However......
After a few steps, the chessboard was filled with Li Huizhi's voice: "No, no, no, I won't go here, I will go here!" ”
"No, no, no, this step doesn't count, if you go back, I'll go back, I'm going to go here instead!"
"Ahh......h You are not allowed to go like this, I will have no way out if you do this......"
"Help...... I'm losing......" Li Huizhi couldn't support it anymore and banged her head on the stone table. How can you just lose? I'm obviously a chess king! Wei Shuai is obviously the first time to play this kind of chess, right!
Wei Yingwen smiled: "Victory and defeat are a common thing in soldiers!" Come...... One more round! It's a lot of fun! ”
Li Huizhi thought for a while, and suddenly asked, "You can't play this kind of chess obviously, but you pretend that you haven't heard it, and deliberately let me take it lightly, right?" ”
It must be so! Otherwise, I wouldn't have lost so quickly!
Wei Yingwen smiled: "What is there to pretend about?" If you have been down, you have not been down, you have not been down, there is nothing worth pretending! ”
Li Huizhi looked at Wei Yingwen suspiciously: "That's okay, let's change this plate, I choose the fifteenth son, you choose the third son!" Let's do it again. ”
"Okay!"
However......
After a few steps......
"No, no, no, I'm not going here......"
"Do it all over again, I'd better go here, you go back first......"
"Have you thought about it? Where the hell to go? ”
"I've decided, go here...... Wrong wrong...... It should be here......"
“…… Belch...... Wait a minute, wait a minute......"
"Oh my God! I lost again...... This can't ......" Li Huizhi lamented to the sky, and knocked her head to the stone table weakly, "I'm obviously a chess king!" ……”
"You're a chess king? Hehe...... I don't believe it! Wei Yingwen shook his head.
"Why don't you believe it!"
"If you don't have chess, who will play chess with you?"
"You say I don't have chess?!" Li Huizhi stood up with a glare.
"Do you have ......?"
Li Huizhi was stunned, lowered her eyes and glanced at herself, but no, this look of teeth and claws, how does it look like a chess game? However, what is the chess product, you can't win anyway!
So she continued to play tricks: "Do it all over again, I don't believe that I can't win you!" ”
She forgot that there are more than a dozen ways to play Go, and there are a hundred or dozens of pieces in each color, and he can use it freely, not to mention this little fifteen backgammon?
Li Huizhi found that the two people who were playing chess seemed to be trying to use all their strength, and through the appearance of crazy play, to temporarily leave the upcoming big war behind, and to spend the remaining two peaceful days to the fullest and unforgettable.
Li Huizhi herself admitted that she wanted to stop herself from thinking about Li Kuo by having fun, so what about Master Wei? He also seems to be acting a little more exaggerated than usual. And what is he for?
Don't think about it, whatever, in two days, who knows what the outcome will be?
So during the two days of crazy play, Li Huizhi tasted all kinds of delicious snacks in the streets, saw all kinds of juggling from Chang'an to Huzhou, and all kinds of Huzhou famous lake pens, silk, and white tea......
Two days flew by......
If you don't want to think about it anymore, it's time to take care of yourself. Li Huizhi finally walked alone on the way back to Li's house.
The boundless loneliness suddenly invaded her. Tomorrow I will go to carry out the food purchase plan. She clearly knew that before leaving, she wanted to see Li Kuo again, even if he still hadn't sorted out the relationship with those women at this time. She just wanted to see him again, even if it was unhappy, and she always saw him......
If you're unlucky tomorrow, if it's glorious, you'll probably wear it back to modern times and never see him again.
O man! Why should you be tempted......
