Chapter 38: Talent and Winning and Losing
Lin Yi was patiently explaining, but Empress Zhang's mind didn't seem to be on this, and she just listened perfunctorily. The pen and fun pavilion www.biquge.info this made Lin Yi feel very embarrassed, so he stopped explaining, in fact, the setting of the number cards was basically finished, so the whole room fell silent.
Fortunately, this embarrassing atmosphere did not last long, and the people arranged by Xiao Mu sent the mahjong tiles over, and Concubine Tian and Concubine Yuan were also invited.
Several people naturally greeted each other when they met, and Concubine Tian and Concubine Yuan invariably took out the needlework they had made before and gave it to Lin Yi. Lin Ye received it in his hand and saw that it was all children's clothes such as belly pockets, which were very delicately embroidered, which made Lin Yi love it, and at this time, Lin Ye felt that pregnancy seemed to have a good side for the first time.
"My sister's needlework is rough, it's hard to compare with my sister, but it's really embarrassing to sew this thing when I have nothing to do." Concubine Tian said modestly, "It's just my sister's heart, and I hope my sister won't be surprised." ”
Lin Yi was naturally polite, and said something like he liked this thing very much, and the two younger sisters had a heart.
Concubine Tian and Concubine Yuan were concerned about Lin Ye's fetal situation again, and Lin Ye said that everything was fine, and then several people talked to each other about some topics between women, and the atmosphere in the whole room finally became warm again.
"I heard the little eunuch say that my sister got the 'playing card' rewarded by the emperor, I don't know what it is?" Concubine Yuan remembered why she was invited here in the first place, so she asked Lin Yi.
Before Lin Yi could answer, Concubine Tian also hurriedly said: "That's right, don't make my sisters' jokes, sister, as soon as I heard that the emperor rewarded me with good things, I ran here in a hurry, I was afraid that I would be late and not catch up with the good things, Sister Zhou must not hide her secrets, hurry up and take it out to give my sisters a feast for their eyes." ”
Lin Yi said in his heart that it was just a broken card, what kind of "reward" was this, it was obviously Xiao Mu who begged him again and again, and he reluctantly agreed to try to play.
I thought so in my heart, but Lin Yi didn't show it, but said with a smile: "Where is this, it was originally used to play with everyone, and it should be used as a thing to relieve boredom, how could this palace hide it?" ”
Empress Zhang also smiled and said to Concubine Tian: "Look at your sharp teeth, things are on the table over there, I don't know, I really think that Sister Zhou has hidden it." ”
Several women came to the table together, and looked at the pieces of paper scattered on the table.
Concubine Yuan picked up a few, compared them for a while, and then asked, "What is drawn on this piece of paper, but is it the complement of my Ming officials?" ”
Concubine Yuan's words shocked both Lin Yi and Empress Zhang, and said in their hearts, didn't this Xiao Mumo already tell Concubine Yuan about the design of the playing cards?
"That's true, these number cards represent the grade of my Ming officials, and the pattern in the middle is the complement of the corresponding grade, Sister Yuan is really self-taught." Lin Ye affirmed Concubine Yuan's guess, and at the same time praised it, wanting to test whether Concubine Yuan had heard the design of the cards from Xiao Mu.
However, after some probing, Lin Yi found that Concubine Yuan had not heard anything about cards before, so he had to admit that Concubine Yuan seemed to have some kind of extraordinary talent in solitaire.
"These cards are Zhuge Kongming, Guan Yunchang, Prime Minister Wen and Yue Wumu? I think it's much more special than ordinary number cards. Concubine Yuan continued to show her talent, and Lin Yi and Empress Zhang had to feel admiration as they listened to it.
"Yes, these are the 'famous ministers' cards, which represent the famous ministers in the history of the ages, and they are naturally larger than ordinary digital cards." Lin said.
"And what do these pictures represent?" Concubine Tian, who had not spoken, also joined the discussion team, holding a few cards that Lin Yi had never seen before, and asked.
"I don't know about this palace, before the emperor left, he only introduced those few 'famous minister cards', and the meaning of the remaining ten or so represents, I haven't had time to talk about it." Lin Yi patiently explained.
Empress Zhang also confirmed Lin Yi's statement: "That's true, the emperor will leave in the middle of the explanation, we can try the mahjong tile first, and then continue to explain the meaning of this card to us after the emperor returns." ”
Unexpectedly, Queen Zhang's proposal did not get everyone's response, and she only heard Concubine Yuan say: "Sister-in-law, don't worry, my sister is very familiar with these cards, and I guess that it should be a beauty card." ”
After listening to Concubine Yuan's statement, Lin Yi, who didn't take it very seriously, also picked up the card that Concubine Yuan said and looked at it, indeed, the cards were painted with portraits of beauties.
Lin Yi immediately drew inferences, took out the last few cards, and saw that the painting on it seemed to be the portrait of the ancient emperor seen in history textbooks, and understood what was going on: "Famous minister card, beauty card, emperor card, this is simply a copy of 'J', 'Q', 'K'!" This Xiao Mu is also really, giving a name to a child is plagiarism, designing a card is also plagiarism, what will he do if he is plagiarized? ”
"Sister Yuan is reasonable, I also think these cards represent beauty cards. As for the remaining four, they should represent the virtuous monarchs of the past dynasties. Lin Yi affirmed Concubine Yuan's statement, and at the same time expressed his own inference.
Several people picked up the cards and looked at them, and they all agreed with Ringo's statement. It's just that the characters on the cards are which emperors in history, Lin Yi is not completely sure, after all, in her opinion, there is no difference between these emperor portraits, just like the four "K" in the modern playing cards, at first glance there is no difference, it seems that if this card is popularized in the future, the average player only cares about the symbol of "Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang" is enough.
Finally, there are the last two cards left, as for what these two cards mean, Queen Zhang and Tian, Concubine Yuan didn't see the reason.
At this time, Lin Yi had already guessed that the last two cards must represent the two ghost cards similar to the big and small kings in the playing cards, but he didn't know what was drawn. However, she didn't say anything, but also pretended not to know, and planned to see if Concubine Yuan could guess the meaning of these two cards this time.
Fortunately, even though Concubine Yuan was talented, after all, she had never been exposed to this aspect before, so she couldn't see what the last two cards represented, which made Lin Yi finally breathe a sigh of relief, and finally retained a trace of his dignity as a traverser.
However, this dignity was not maintained for long, and several women found that they could not fully understand the meaning of the cards designed by Xiao Mu, so they set up the table according to Queen Zhang's suggestion and began to play the mahjong tiles sent by Xiao Mu.
Simply decided the seating order of the southeast, northwest and northwest, and unified the rules. As Lin Yi rolled the dice, the Ming version of mahjong was officially put into use—if not counting Xiao Mu's previous test at Wang Jingyuan's house.
The principle of mahjong tiles is very simple, and it is very similar to the familiar "playing horse hanging" gameplay, so even if Ringo is a traverser, there is no obvious advantage at all. This reminded Lin Mu of what Xiao Mu said before about the "wooden fingers", and he also teased him at the time why he was called "Xiao Mu" instead of "Xiao Jin", and Lin Ye, who thought of this matter, compared his name at this time and found that it was even better than Xiao Mu: there are three "wood" words in it, which are simply wooden fingers in wooden fingers, no wonder playing mahjong can't take advantage.
If you want to transship, do you have to change the name to "Xin Yu"? This idea existed in Lin Ye's mind for less than a second, and was vetoed by Lin Ye, "Xin Bird" sounds homophonic to "hard work", but what kind of bird is this talking about? It doesn't sound like your original fruit name.
It's acceptable if you just can't take advantage of it, but the truth is far more cruel than this: after playing two rounds, Lin Yi can't parry, and the chips in front of him have basically lost almost - this is still under the premise that Tian Fei deliberately put cards for herself several times, so why can Lin Yi see that Tian Fei deliberately put cards for herself? This is also very simple, because Tian Fei's technique is really clumsy, and the method of feeding Lin Yi cards is also very obvious, such as:
"Oh, why don't you get a lottery?" Lin Yi complained when he touched the cards in a certain game, and then Empress Zhang and Concubine Yuan found that Concubine Tian then played all the cards in her hand.
Therefore, at this time in the game, Concubine Tian herself also lost a lot, and she had no ability to feed Lin Yi when she was difficult to protect.
Of course, someone loses and someone wins, Queen Zhang only won a little bit, and the chips in front of her are not much different from the beginning. As for the biggest winner, it is none other than Concubine Yuan, because she is really skilled, Concubine Yuan's loot is almost out of place.
Lin Yi was also shocked by Concubine Yuan's mahjong talent: This Concubine Yuan is only seventeen or eighteen years old now, does she really want to be the Ming version of the "Sparrow Saint" and "Genius Mahjong Girl"?
……
Xiao Mu summoned Luo Yangxing, and he found that there was also a figure who looked like a brocade guard who came with Luo Yangxing, who looked very young, but he was in his twenties, and he thought that it should be Luo Yangxing's subordinates sent to Daxing.
Luo Yangxing also noticed Xiao Mu's gaze, so he took the initiative to introduce to Xiao Mu: "Your Majesty, this person's name is Luo Zhenxing, and he is a spy selected by Weichen from Jinyi Wei and sent to Daxing. ”
"Well, it's indeed a talent, your name is Luo Zhenxing?" Xiao Mu looked at this person and asked.
"The emperor has won the award, which is a humble position." Luo Zhenxing replied very respectfully.
"I don't know who this Luo Zhenxing is in your family?" Xiao Mu turned around and asked Luo Yangxing.
The two of them both belong to Jinyiwei, and they both have the same surname Luo, thinking that this is in ancient times when human relations were very developed, Xiao Mu naturally thought that this Luo Zhenxing must be a relative of Luo's nephews.
