Chapter 143: Ying Zheng Comes to the Door
"Boss Jiang is really a good means!"
The person who came snorted coldly and slapped his face "popping". Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Hearing this voice, Jiang Jianghao first found that the people around him were inexplicable for a while, and then there was a noise of hulala, and everyone knelt on the ground to welcome the arrival of the person.
There is no doubt that even Remnant Yang is kneeling on one knee, you don't have to guess to know, it must be Yingzheng coming!
Jiang Jianghao also hurriedly got up, gave Ying Zheng a salute, then gave up his position, and asked Ying Zheng to sit on the main seat of the flower hall, who knew that Ying Zheng just sat up, then stood up again, walked to the place where Jiang Jianghao played mahjong, raised his hand to pick up a mahjong, and then held the mahjong in the palm of his hand and began to be in a daze.
No wonder!
Early this morning, these women in the harem asked to leave the palace one by one, saying that they all had diseases on their bodies, and they were not very refreshed, and they wanted to come to Jiang Jianghao to see if there was a suitable formula for their own food.
As soon as the women in the harem left the palace, Yingzheng fell into a quiet place, so he happily took Xia Meiren to linger in the quiet harem for a whole day, but who knew that until the sun set, even the sky was about to dark, and none of the women returned to the palace.
Although there is Remnant Yang following, Ying Zheng's heart is still very uneasy, because his Xia Meiren returned to the palace before, and now he still opens his mouth and closes Jiang Gongzi, how can Xie make him not worry?
Therefore, while he had some leisure at hand, he changed into ordinary clothes, went out of the palace in micro clothes, and went directly to Jiang Jianghao's Yiyuan, he wanted to see what Jiang Jianghao was doing, and he actually abducted most of the beauties in his palace.
I don't know if I don't see it, I was startled when I saw it, it turned out that it was not Jiang Jianghao who kidnapped his little wife, but the wooden lump he was holding on his mobile phone now.
But then again, what is this lump of wood?
"What is this?"
"It's mahjong. Mahjong is a kind of gambling game invented by the ancients, card entertainment utensils, small rectangular blocks made of bamboo, bone or wood, engraved with patterns or words, one hundred and thirty-six pieces per pair (seventy-four in some areas). The rules of the game vary slightly from region to region. The main mahjong cards are "cake (money)", "strip (rope)", "ten thousand (Wanguan)" and so on. In ancient times, mahjong was mostly made of bone and bamboo backs, and it can be said that mahjong tiles were actually a combination of leaf tiles and dominoes. Compared with other domino forms, mahjong is the most complex and interesting to play, its basic style of play is simple, easy to play, but there are many variations, and the combination varies from person to person, so in our clan, it is called one of the most attractive forms of game. ”
I see! Ying Zheng touched the mahjong again, and then picked up a tube to signal to Jiang Jianghao, Jiang Jianghao understood, and hurriedly said: "This is a tube." Commonly known as "cake" in our home, it is actually a top view of a granary tun (local dialect), which means that the "tube" is an abstract screenshot. When storing grain, people use mats to form a bucket-shaped column space, and the grain is stored in it, and in order to prevent rain leakage, the top is made of two circles of straw mats with concentric circles stacked on top of each other. Therefore, looking down from directly above the granary, the abstract thing we see is a "tube", two granaries are two "tubes", and so on to the "nine cylinders". Later, after the war spread to the south, the pronunciation of "cake" appeared in the name, which was a reason for looking at pictures and speaking, but this mistake was also widely inherited, but it made people understand the history of mahjong farther and farther away. ”
It seems quite interesting, a small mahjong can even represent the granary, so don't so many granaries represent the wealth and grain of his Lang Qin country? ! Good intentions! It's a good idea.
Ying Zheng rummaged in the mahjong pile for a long time, and finally turned out one by one, looked at Jiang Jianghao in wonder and said: "If the widow is not mistaken, this is a small bird, so I don't know where this little bird comes from?" ”
"Oh! This is a strip, also known as a chicken. The chicken appeared in mahjong, and it was very strange to replace "one", the reason is, of course, because the warehouse manager hated the sparrows that were stolen. Since there was a habit of armament in ancient times, there were strict regulations on the care of grain, as the most important strategic material, and there were also strict limits on the loss of stored grain. However, the old grain and wet grain had to be dried, and there were too many sparrows in the barn, so they not only came to "grab the grain", but even repaired their nests in the barns to give birth to flocks of the next generation. Then the warehouse of grain is gone, because it has become a sparrow. This also reflects how much the warehouse managers hate sparrows, so they replace one with sparrows to inspire and remind themselves. ”
"Oh? Why is it that this is obviously a play thing, but it is used to indicate that it is related to food, and is there any way to say it? ”
Ying Zheng was puzzled, but he was also curious, this good habit of getting to the bottom of the matter made him always move forward and be invincible.
Regarding this, Jiang Jianghao still thought fiercely for a while, and finally remembered this statement.
"In fact, when it comes to this, we have to talk about the origin of mahjong tiles, in fact, the origin of mahjong tiles is mahjong tiles."
Ying Zheng was puzzled.
"Sparrow?"
"The sparrow card is the most mainstream theory of the origin of mahjong. Mahjong cards, also known as sparrow cards, sparrow cards, were originally a "grain protection card" somewhere during the Yin Shang period. Relevant information records that during the Yin Shang period, there was a large granary of the official family, which hoarded rice all year round for the "transfer of grain from the south to the north". There is a lot of food, and naturally there are frequent finch infestation, and a lot of food is lost every year due to finch infestation. In order to reward the finch-catchers and grain guards, the officials in charge of the granary used bamboo chips to record the number of birds they had catched, and paid them according to this, which was the "grain protection card" at that time. These chips are engraved with a variety of symbols and numbers, which can be viewed, played, and used as a voucher for redeeming winnings. The gameplay, symbols, and nomenclature of this kind of food protection card are all related to bird hunting. The name of the three basic suits of the Sparrow brand is "Wan, Bunch, and Tube". The pattern of "tube" is the cross-section of the bamboo tube, the "tube" is the bamboo tube, and the several tubes represent several bamboo tubes. "Suo" is "bundle", is a bird strung with a thin rope, so the pattern of "a rope" is represented by a bird, a few ropes are several bunches of birds, and the bonus is calculated according to the number of birds. "10,000" is the unit of reward, and tens of thousands is the amount of reward. ”
"Yin Shang period? That's a few years old! But why had the widow never heard of these things? ”
"In the later period of the Yin Shang Dynasty, the king had no way, such rules no longer existed, and I could only get a glimpse of it in the wild history of the clan."
