Hajilan had lunch with the Queen Mother and Concubine Yi in Ningshou Palace, and the Queen Mother and Concubine Yi also knew that Hajilan actually breastfed the twins by herself, and also saw the mouths of the two little ones - they only ate Hajilan's milk, and they really disdained their own grandmother's milk!

After lunch, the well-fed twins began to feel sleepy, and the Queen Mother asked Hajlan to take the twins to sleep in the apse.

Hajlan settled the twins, and instructed the grandmothers to take care of the twins before returning to the main hall. The three of them chatted for a while, and Concubine Yi mentioned yì to play leaf cards.

The Queen Mother smiled: "Ye Zi card, Hajilan is not good at it, playing cards with her, she will lose a lot of silver, haha, or rob her again this time, she can get a lot of things from us just now." ”

Hajlan had a black line on her face as soon as she heard the leaf card, she really didn't understand that thing, she hardly played it usually, and she played with the Queen Mother a few times, but unfortunately she lost badly every time, which gave Hajlan a headache.

Hajilan was thinking about how to excuse himself, when he heard Concubine Yi say: "This is not how to play, that's really boring, I don't want to bully people who don't play well, or let's do something else!" ”

The Queen Mother nodded approvingly, rolled her eyes twice, and said with a smile: "If you don't let Hajilan, a clever ghost, come up with a fresh idea, she has a lot of good ideas." ”

Hajlan couldn't cry or laugh when he heard it, and hurriedly excused himself, but the Queen Mother bit her bite and didn't let go, just asking Hajlan to want to move, Hajlan was forced by the Queen Mother to have no choice but to remember.

'Yes, there is. Hajran thought for a moment before he said, "Let's play poker, I promise you haven't played it before." ”

After speaking, Hajilan's eyes began to scan the hall, and finally focused on the desk, Hajilan got up and walked to the table, picked up the plum blossom note and touched the hardness, feeling basically satisfied, and then called a palace maid to get the paste, and then under the curious eyes of the Queen Mother and Concubine Yi, the three plum blossom notes were glued into one, and the plum blossom notes were really hard after sticking, although they could not be compared with modern poker, they could also be held in their hands and not soft.

When she was done, Hajlan told the ladies to glue the remaining plum blossom notes according to her movements, and began to cut them herself, and when they were all cut to the size of playing cards, she began to draw the cards on them, of course, they were all written in traditional Chinese, not Arabic numerals.

Hajlan also explained the gameplay to the Queen Mother and Concubine Yi while painting, and what she taught them was to fight the landlord, and three people could play. The Queen Mother and Concubine Yi were very curious about this new way to play, and after listening to Hajlan's gameplay, they were even more eager to try, and Concubine Yi even drew it herself.5./books/41/41406/

Jinxiu Pastoral.

Several people worked together, and soon a simple poker deck was made. Hajilan took this Qing Dynasty version of poker and transferred it to the couch with the Queen Mother and Concubine Yi, and set up a kang table on it to play. The Queen Mother and Concubine Yi are not stupid people, their brains turn very fast, and they are handy after playing twice, while Hajilan really has no talent in playing cards, and he loses again after a while.

Concubine Yi grabbed the cards in her hand and looked at them and asked casually, "Hajlan, where did you learn this game?" I've never seen it? ”

Hajlan replied without being nervous: "After returning to Beijing from Chahar, I once met a foreign missionary and watched him play. If it weren't for the Queen Mother's insistence that I want to play with it today, I would have forgotten about it, didn't I see that it was all freshly made? ”

Concubine Yi nodded and said, "Don't say that those foreigners really have a lot of interesting things, the chocolates they make are quite delicious, which are too different from the pastries, pastries, candies and the like we make zuò, and the music box that Lao Jiu gave me a long time ago was also made by them." Lao Jiu also told me that some of those foreigners are really good, and the boat they took when they came here was very sturdy, and they could go all the way from their country to us, and there were some cannons on board, which were very powerful. ”

Hajlan echoed and said, "What E-Niang said is true. ”

Concubine Yi said again: "But those ships can't land, what's the use, and we also have those cannons, long live the Lord himself used them to conquer Galdan, I don't envy them." ”

The Queen Mother didn't pay attention to what they were saying there, just stared at the cards in her hand and calculated, and threw out a lot of single cards while Hajlan and Concubine Yi were chatting, looking at the little king in her hand and a pair of eight, the Queen Mother couldn't help but smile, just now she saw that the king had come out of Concubine Yi's hand.

This didn't take advantage of the 10 of spades out of Hajlan, the Queen Mother hurriedly threw Xiao Wang out, and shouted excitedly: "Xiao Wang, don't you want it?" ”

Concubine Yi and Hajilan looked at the cards in their hands and shook their heads at the same time, the Queen Mother was even more excited, and directly threw out the pair of eight in her hand and said: "Give the silver, give the silver, I won again." ”

The Queen Mother and Concubine Yi were interested in playing poker, and pulled Hajlan to play poker for almost an afternoon, until an attendant came to report, and the fifth and ninth elder brothers came to greet the Queen Mother.

Seeing this, the Queen Mother smiled at Hajilan and said, "Lao Jiu must have come to take Hajilan back to his house." ”

Concubine Yi sighed on the side: "People say that they forgot their mother when they married their daughter-in-law, hey! If it weren't for Hajlan in the palace, when would Lao Jiu come to ask for peace at this point! ”

When Hajlan said this, he couldn't help but bow his head and make an ostrich shape.

As soon as the fifth elder brother and the ninth elder brother entered the main hall, they saluted the queen mother and concubine Yi respectively. Brother Jiu looked at the situation in the hall, and saw a fruit bowl and a dried fruit plate on the kang table, scattered with all kinds of orange peels, melon seed peels or something, and some things similar to leaf cards and a pile of scattered silver. And Hajlan was sorting out the crumpled clothes, of course, the Queen Mother and Concubine Yi's family had already been sorted out by the people who served around them.

Seeing that there was nothing wrong with him, Hajlan got up and saluted the fifth elder brother and the ninth elder brother, and then stood behind the ninth elder brother in a regular manner, looking like a dignified prince Fujin.

The Queen Mother said with a smile: "Lao Jiu, today Hajlan entered the palace, and the mourning family not only saw the twins with a compelling aura, but also had a good time. Old Five, what is that poker is called, it's fun, I'll show you later, and you can also play with Huang Ma for a while. ”

The fifth elder brother replied: "Yes, Huang Mama." ”

Brother Nine smiled and said gently: "Huang Mama, Eniang, let the fifth brother play with you for a while, and we will take Rui Rui and Jing Jing back to the house first." ”

So Brother Nine and Hajilan took the twins out of the palace and returned home.

Hajilan brought poker to the Queen Mother and Concubine Yi, they had a great interest in it, the Queen Mother played, Concubine Yi played again, and the ladies in the palace followed suit, so this poker was also popular in the harem of the Qing Dynasty, and Hajiran was also regarded as a new entertainment project for the bored palace women.
