Back in the study, Wang Lei carefully checked the files submitted by Du Ji and Fu Zhu. The piles of dossiers are all written in bamboo slips, stacked one after another, like hills. After Cai Lun's improvement, the Eastern Han Dynasty already had Cai Hou paper, but after all, it was not popular, especially at this time, the paper was not easy to preserve, easy to damage, and in most cases, bamboo slips were still used.

Wang Lei started to check in the morning, and in the evening, he hadn't finished reading it.

"Boom! Boom! ”

There was a knock on the door, heard outside the room.

"Childe, it's me!"

A crisp voice came from outside the room.

Guo Yu pushed open the door and walked in with a bowl of hot chicken soup. She put the chicken soup in front of Wang Lei and said with a smile: "Childe, it's cold at night, drink some chicken soup to warm up." ”

Wang Lei nodded, took the bowl, and drank it one by one.

After drinking chicken soup, my body was warm.

"Childe went to Chang'an and lost weight!" Suddenly, Guo Yu said.

Wang Lei said: "How can you lose weight, you are not thin!" ”

Guo Yu shook his head and didn't speak, silently watched Wang Lei finish drinking the soup, and then left lightly. Wang Lei buried his head in the vast bamboo slips again and continued to browse the remaining files. After dark, Wang Lei got up and stretched, left the study, and came to Han Mengyu's yard in the backyard. Walking into the courtyard, a maid came over, and Wang Lei hurriedly silenced the maid.

When I came to the door, I heard bursts of laughter.

Wang Lei is very familiar with these voices, including Da Qiao, Xiao Qiao, Guo Yu, Queen Guo, and Han Mengyu, the owner of the courtyard. A few girls got together and it was quite lively.

Pushing open the door, Wang Lei strode in.

"Ahh

Seeing Wang Lei coming, bursts of exclamations came out.

Han Mengyu, Guo Yu, Da Qiao and others got up to greet them.

Wang Lei took a closer look, but these people were placing Wang Lei's words, and this word was a poem that Wang Lei gave to Han Mengyu in the past. As soon as they saw Wang Lei, Han Mengyu and Da Qiao were pleasantly surprised. Han Mengyu was shy, and said excitedly: "Brother Hutou, we are talking about the poems you made, which are very well written. It's better to choose a day than to hit the day, it's better to write a poem. ”

Wang Lei hurriedly shook his head, looking afraid.

Up to now, Wang Lei has a headache about composing poetry, and he is reluctant to write.

Wang Lei's eyes swept away, there were a total of five people here, and when he saw that a few people had nothing to do, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he smiled: "You have nothing to do at home, I will teach you to play a game and play time." ”

"What a game, say it quickly, say it quickly."

Queen Guo had no scruples and said directly.

Da Qiao, Xiao Qiao and others also looked curious, and their eyes showed a look of expectation. After the few of them came to the state governor's mansion, there was almost nothing to do. In addition to learning some female workers, play small games, read books, learn calligraphy, play the piano and play music...... However, every day is like this, and it always feels that it is not interesting, Wang Lei said that there are other fresh games, and he suddenly became excited.

Wang Lei smiled slightly and ordered: "Bring a pen, a thinner brush, I will draw the drawings." ”

"I'll get it!"

Guo Yu is Wang Lei's maid, and she consciously prepares.

In a short time, the pen, ink, paper, and inkstone are ready.

Wang Lei took the pen, ink, paper, inkstone, and Caihou paper to draw the mahjong graphics. A pair of mahjong, only tube, strip, 10,000, there is no rest of the east, south, west, north and other name cards, three styles, a total of one hundred and eight cards. After Wang Lei drew the drawings needed for mahjong, he began to write the rules again. This rule is in accordance with the rules formulated by Chengdu Ma.

Holding the drawings, Wang Lei handed the rules to the hands of the five people and said: "Familiarize yourself with the rules first, and early tomorrow morning, I will let the craftsmen rush to make them." When the time comes, you can play mahjong. This is a four-person game, is there one more? You can only watch from the sidelines. ”

Han Mengyu said: "It's okay, it's okay, we can come in turn." ”

The women nodded in agreement.

Wang Lei chatted with the girls for a while before getting up to leave.

Xiao Qiao held the rules in his hand, and said with a smile: "Brother-in-law is so good, he writes so well and makes poems so well, how can there be such a strange game in his head...... Haha, I'm going to participate tomorrow, I'm going to participate. ”

Queen Guo said: "I also want to participate, I also want to participate!" ”

The girls chatted and chatted, and they went back to their rooms to rest very late.

Early the next morning, Wang Lei got up for morning exercises, washed, and after breakfast, he asked the craftsman to select wood and make one hundred and eight mahjong of the same size. After it was done, it was carefully polished before returning to the yard with mahjong.

At this time, Han Mengyu and the others were already waiting.

Familiarizing themselves with the rules, they sat down around the table, spread out a blanket, and began to play cards.

At first, unfamiliar with the situation.

But Da Qiao, Han Mengyu and others are very smart, and they have played a few games in a row, and they are already familiar with them. Wang Lei wanted to guide, but he was put aside, ignoring Wang Lei's existence. At this time, footsteps sounded. The old man walked in and glanced at Wang Lei, but the next moment, his eyes were already attracted by mahjong.

The old man looked curious and asked, "Hey, what is this?" ”

Queen Guo replied, "It's a game, invented. ”

The old man nodded and looked at the four people present playing mahjong. After watching it a few times in a row, the old man was so excited that he couldn't help rubbing his hands and said complainingly: "Tiger head, there are such good things, how can you forget the old man!" ”

Wang Lei smiled and said, "I'll just prepare a pair for you, old man, what are you looking for me?" ”

"I'm not looking for you, it's okay, it's okay."

The old man shook his head, put his hands behind his back, and left the courtyard.

After a while, the old man actually called Tong Yuan and Wang Yue over. The three old guys gathered around the table, watching Queen Guo, Da Qiao, Xiao Qiao and Han Mengyu play mahjong, pointing, sometimes nodding, and sometimes muttering a few times together. After Tong Yuan pondered for a few moments, he said: "It's very interesting, why don't you call Hu Zhao's little fox, and the four of us will have a play." ”

"Great idea!"

The old man laughed and responded directly.

With a turn of his eyes, the old man commanded: "Tiger head, we old guys, it's up to you." ”

Wang Lei didn't think about it, and replied directly: "Don't worry, old man, I'll go and prepare immediately, and then I'll tell you how to play." Wang Lei asked the craftsman to prepare, and then wrote down the rules and handed them to the old man, so that the old man and Tong Yuan and others could play by themselves.

Back in the study, Xun Chen came to the house.

The guest and the host sat down, and Xun Chen said: "Lord, Zheng Xuan has been coming to Jizhou for a while. This person is the first person in Shilin. The lord had a day off, and today, he thought he should visit Zheng Xuan. ”

Wang Lei nodded and said, "Yes, I'll go and change my clothes right away and go with Mr." ”

Xun Chen nodded, and immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
