was forcibly dragged by Dou Ying to the Marquis of Wei Qi's mansion, and Yan Ming was also happy to be at peace with the encounter. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Along the way, Dou Ying and Doufu pestered Yan Ming and interrogated what mahjong was. Yan Ming explained to the two of them for a long time, but the two didn't understand.

At the end, Yan Ming said: "Forget it, let's trouble Wei Qihou to call a few carpenters today, let's make a pair of mahjong first, just called Han Yan, let's touch a few." ”

Hearing that mahjong will be made soon, Dou Ying and Guan Fu have shown great interest.

Wei Qihou Mansion, in the northeast of Chang'an City.

It is said to be a residential area, but it is inhabited by princes and nobles in the court, and officials of various positions. Ordinary people are not qualified to live in this so-called residential area in the northeast of Chang'an City.

Ordinary people live outside Chang'an City, which is the real residential area. The residential area in Chang'an City can only be called the aristocratic area.

Accustomed to seeing the small shops in the east and west markets, and seeing the magnificent buildings of various dignitaries and nobles for the first time, Yan Ming felt that this world was absolutely the same in ancient and modern times.

Rich people, people with status, no matter how bad the housing is, it will not be too bad. Looking at the villa-like buildings standing on both sides, thinking of the broken thatched houses of the ordinary people outside Chang'an City, it is simply a heart-wrenching contrast.

Yan Ming always has a compassionate heart.

But before he could continue his grief, the frame stopped.

"It's here!" Dou Ying laughed and walked down the stairs erected by the emperor.

Yan Ming followed, and the bush last.

After getting out of the car and standing on the ground, Yan Ming realized that he was in a villa area full of classical taste. The high-rise buildings and halls are simply thrown off the east and west markets, and I don't know how many streets.

In front of him, on the gate of a slightly majestic tall courtyard, a huge plaque reads Wei Qihou Mansion. There is a screen wall behind the door, so you can't see the scene inside.

However, the red-roofed carved beams that crossed the courtyard wall have already shown the extraordinaryness of this Wei Qihou Mansion.

"What a big Hou Mansion!" Yan Ming sighed.

"What's that? To say big, in this Chang'an City, the largest mansion is the mansion of Hou Tianwei of Wu'an. The courtyard is about to be expanded to the edge of the arsenal! The sour taste in Dou Ying's words was obvious.

The bushman also flicked the sleeves of his robe and said, "It's just relying on the prestige of the Queen Mother." How can you compare with Wei Qihou? If you don't like him, I'll go and call him. ”

Wei Qihou hurriedly shook his hand and smiled: "Excuse me, Tian Wei is still quite respectful to me on weekdays." Don't cause too much trouble. ”

After hearing this, the bushman gave up.

Yan Ming knew that at this time, Dou Ying and Tian Wei were among the best figures in the court, and there was no disparity in status between the two of them. Tian Wei has a lot of respect for Dou Ying.

When he came to his home, Dou Ying naturally accompanied Yan Ming into the gate.

Bypassing the screen wall, a wide road leads straight into the deep courtyard, and there are antique wings on both sides. Miscellaneous servants performed their duties in the court.

Directly facing the broad road is a magnificent two-storey house. The carved beams and painted buildings on it, the red tiles on the roof are lined up one after another, and it looks magnificent.

"Welcome to the Humble House." Wei Qihou said with a smile.

Yan Ming stuck out his tongue and said with a smile: "Old Prime Minister, if your house is a humble house, we will all call it a kennel." ”

Yan Ming's words caused Dou Yingfu to laugh loudly, and the three of them walked into the hall along the broad road.

The servants around saw Dou Ying and the other three, and they all saluted and obeyed the rules.

When they found out that Yan Ming was a young offspring, they were all surprised. I can't understand why Dou Ying, who doesn't like young and strong on weekdays, would make friends with this Yan Hou who came out of nowhere.

But it's a relief to think about. It's Han Yan, who has always had a bad reputation, who has often run to the house these days, and it's not very strange to have a young marquis.

When he returned to the mansion, Dou Ying asked someone to call all the people in the yard who knew carpentry work, saying that Yan Hou had something to order.

Looking at the rows of carpenters in front of him, Yan Ming couldn't help but secretly stick out his tongue. Dou Ying's family was so generous that they actually gathered more than a dozen carpenters at once.

Yan Ming smiled and said, "You don't need so much, you just need to find a quick one." ”

Dou Ying knows the roots of his own group of people. On weekdays, I am used to seeing big people, and I don't look at some little-known officials at all.

He coughed, patted the chair he sat down and the table next to him, and said, "You may not know that the tables and chairs in our house that surprise you are all from the hands of this Yan Hou." ”

When the carpenters heard this, they immediately showed a different look in their eyes when they looked at Yan Ming.

"Yan Hou was able to create such an exquisite thing, which made Xiao admire." A man with slender arms and a thirty-year-old man said respectfully.

Yan Ming looked at him and said with a smile: "I look at today's work, so I'll leave it to this one." What's your last name? ”

The carpenter almost knelt down when he heard Yan Ming ask him 'your surname'.

How can there be a reason for the master to ask the servant's noble surname, this is the feudal Han Dynasty, and the status is very serious.

"The small surname is Wang, and the name is Hui. Because he is the seventh oldest at home. So Hou Ye called me Wang Laoqi, and Yan Hou also called me that. Don't say it's expensive or not, the small ones can't afford it. Wang Laoqi said humbly.

Dou Ying on the side smiled: "Yan Hou really has a vision." This is the best carpenter in my house. Tell him what to do. ”

Yan Ming agreed, asked people to take rough paper and pens, and wrote out several kinds of mahjong tiles. Let Wang Laoqi make it as soon as possible according to the size he gave.

Wang Laoqi is a carpenter with brains, he took the things that Yan Ming explained, his mind flashed, and he said: "Master Hou, this thing needs to be played on the table, and the wood seems to be too light." I remember you had two tusks from Roman merchants, and they were good materials. ”

Dou Ying patted his head and said with a smile: "Okay, you go to the treasury and get ivory, and hurry up to make it." ”

"Ivory mahjong, it's too extravagant." Yan Ming slandered in his heart, feeling that the life of the feudal bureaucracy was really luxurious and desirable.

However, when I thought that these big officials in the Han Dynasty and Wu Dynasty, there were few good deaths, and a fiery heart was also steady. Since ancient times, it has been high-income and high-risk, without exception.

When Han Yan came, Wang Laoqi actually made the ivory mahjong.

Seeing the mahjong made of ivory, Han Yan's addiction was hooked again, and without waiting for Yan Ming to finish talking about the rules of mahjong, he began to code cards, and while stacking cards, he said: "Playing mahjong is the same as fighting." If you can't talk about it on paper, you have to fight a few battles, and then you will understand everything. Come on, don't waste time, let's go four laps first! ”

Looking at Han Yan and Yan Ming's skillful code cards, Dou Ying and Guan Fu also sat down with a smile, wanting to try the charm of mahjong.

Han Yan looked at Wang Laoqi, who was looking at the excitement and didn't leave, and rolled her eyes and said, "Do you still have ivory, if you have it, go and play a pair of mahjong for me, I want to take it home." ”

Wang Laoqi nodded, looked at Dou Ying and nodded slightly, he promised 'yes', and went to work.

Four people play mahjong, two laps have passed, and Dou Ying and Dou Fu can also be regarded as touching the mahjong play. It's getting more and more addictive, and it's a lot of fun.

Among the four people, only Yan Ming is a veteran. It's easy to fool the three newbies. However, in order to show the supremacy of the card rules, Yan Ming still resisted the idea of cheating.

"Tell Wang Laoqi to play a pair of mahjong for me." Haven't played yet. The bushman began to shout for mahjong.

Yan Ming couldn't help but smile bitterly, this group of high-ranking officials are not only smokers, but also gamblers.
