Chapter Forty-Three: The Note and the King
After listening to Xiao Mu's order, Luo Yangxing took Luo Zhenxing to retire and arranged for Xiao Mu's errand. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoIn fact, at this time, it was probably when Hu Yun came to Wang Jingyuan's house and saw that Feng was beating Zhao Qi's ass.
Luo Zhenxing set off from Daxing three hours later than the four gangsters, and when he arrived in the capital, he reported to Luo Yangxing and Xiao Mu successively, and it took a lot of time. So when Luo Yangxing asked Yang Tao to find Hu Yun and planned to send them to protect Wang Jingyuan's family, those four people had already done it.
Fortunately, Hu Yun happened to be present and withstood the first wave of the gangster's attack, and at the same time, Yang Tao, who was sent by Luo Yangxing to find Hu Yun, also arrived in time with someone, fortunately protecting Wang Jingyuan's safety and failing to let the gangster succeed, thinking about it carefully, the whole process is really thrilling.
Of course, Xiao Mu didn't know these things yet.
Pull the timeline back again. After arranging for Luo Yangxing to protect Wang Jingyuan and them, Xiao Mu no longer worried. After all, on the ground of the capital, and with the special protection of the Jinyi Guard, Xiao Mu felt that the safety of Wang Jingyuan's family would definitely not be a problem, so he returned to Lin Yi's dormitory.
As soon as he entered the door, Xiao Mu was frightened by the formation in front of him.
"Isn't it just a mahjong card, it's so brain-burning? How do you play with gray hair? Xiao Mu walked forward with a thought in his heart, only to realize that he had made a mistake.
Lin Ye and the others were playing cards instead of mahjong at this time, and their hair did not turn white, but they had several notes on their faces. Xiao Mu took a closer look, there was basically no blank space left on Lin Yi and Concubine Tian's faces, and if it wasn't for the help of other places such as clothes, it would have been impossible to tell who was who. Empress Zhang was not as exaggerated as them, and she also had two notes on her face, but as for Concubine Yuan's face, there was none.
This scene made Xiao Mu stunned at first, and then Xiao Mu understood, there must be no one else who came up with this game except Lin Yi.
"Fortunately, they took the punishment of stickers, if whoever loses and takes off their clothes, wouldn't it be embarrassing to break in like this?" Xiao Mu couldn't help but think in his heart, and then he shook his head fiercely, "This is the Ming Dynasty of the seventeenth century, how can there be such a way to play, take 10,000 steps back, even if people in the whole world don't talk about discipline, Empress Zhang will not agree to play like that." ”
Xiao Mu's conjecture was not wrong at all, it was Lin Yi who proposed the sticker strip play. Losing miserably at the mahjong table, Lin Yi was naturally unconvinced, and he didn't care about pretending not to understand the design of the cards. Driven by the eagerness for revenge, Lin Yi planned to play this card game, anyway, even if he didn't know what was drawn on the two cards that were similar to the big and small king ghost cards, but he still knew the function of these two cards.
In a speculative tone, I talked about the conjecture about the function of the two Ming version of the ghost cards, which is probably bigger than the "emperor card", Lin Yi proposed that he was idle anyway, and the emperor couldn't come back for a while, so he might as well try to play cards if he fights.
Lin Yi's proposal was approved by Concubine Tian's hands, Queen Zhang was originally indifferent, and Concubine Yuan was not afraid of coming, so the four of them put away the mahjong and burned the war on the card table.
Lin Yi, who thought that he had the advantage, proposed a punishment measure of sticking a note on his face if he lost, Concubine Tian also agreed with both hands, and Concubine Yuan was also not afraid of coming. As for Empress Zhang, she hesitated for a while, feeling that it was unseemly to do so, but considering that Lin Yi was pregnant, and it was not good to save her face, she couldn't bear to refuse and reluctantly agreed.
Of course, in this way, the palace maids and eunuchs who were originally waiting around them must be driven out of the house, otherwise, the embarrassment of several people with notes on their faces will let the slaves and maids see that they have lost their majesty, and this master will not be able to continue, so there are only four concubines left in the house, and no one else is present
Under the surprised gaze of Empress Zhang and Tian Yuan's second concubine, Lin Yi skillfully shuffled the cards, which made Lin Yi feel very useful in his heart, and his whole body exuded a strong confidence: it seems that the desire to call for wind and rain and revenge at the card table will soon come true.
However, the reality is cruel, and it turns out that the skill of shuffling has nothing to do with winning or losing. As the game progressed, Lin Yi and Tian Fei still lost a lot, and Yuan Fei won a big win - the process of mahjong cards is strikingly similar.
So there was the scene that Xiao Mu saw when he walked into the house.
Finding that someone had come in the house, Lin Ye was naturally very nervous, and he was not relieved until he saw that the person who came was Xiao Mu: Fortunately, it was his own person.
"The concubine has seen the emperor." So Lin Yi greeted Xiao Mu with unprecedented enthusiasm, and he didn't even care about playing the cards in his hand, in fact, Lin Ye's plan was to take advantage of Xiao Mu's excuse to stop the game and take down all the notes himself.
Helpless, as his name suggests, Xiao Mu, who had a wooden head, didn't understand Lin Yi's thoughts, and said very "understandingly": "No need to be polite, you don't have to be restrained, continue to play." ”
As he spoke, Xiao Mu brought himself a cup of tea, sat down at the table and posed as an observer.
Failed to take the opportunity to terminate the game, Lin Yi's disappointment was written, but unfortunately all the notes that were plastered were blocked, and Xiao Mu didn't see it.
"Who's going to draw cards?" Lin Yi, who reluctantly sat back in his seat, asked.
"It seems that it's time for Sister Yuan to smoke." Concubine Tian replied.
"Exactly." Concubine Yuan said, then took a card from Lin Yi's hand, took it in his hand and looked at it, then said with a smile: "Sister, I got out first, sisters, let's draw it." ”
Xiao Mu, who was watching from the sidelines, almost squirted out the tea he had just drunk in his mouth at this time, "Are they playing the legendary 'Pumping King Ba'?" Is there a poker card in 2333 that is also played this way? I don't know if Lin Yi told Queen Zhang the name of this game......"
Looking at Lin Yi with a face full of notes, Xiao Mu didn't dare to continue drinking tea, for fear that he would not be able to control the tea squirting, so he forced a smile to watch from the sidelines.
may be due to the fact that Xiao Mu changed the feng shui in the house after he came in, and Concubine Tian, who was also full of notes in this game, changed her previous decline, and followed Concubine Yuan to make all the cards in her hand into pairs and successfully escaped.
In the end, there were only two people left, Queen Zhang and Lin Ao, and at the final decisive moment, Queen Zhang had two cards in her hand, and Lin Ye had one in her hand, and it was Lin Lee's turn to draw cards in Queen Zhang's hand.
The two cards in Queen Zhang's hand were placed in front of her, Lin Yi stared and observed for a long time, pondered for a long time, and finally made up her mind and stretched out her hand to the card on her left. However, just as it was about to be drawn, Lin Ye suddenly changed his attention and drew the right card with lightning speed.
Immediately, Queen Zhang showed a look of unbearability and embarrassment, and sure enough, Lin Yi drew a "Guan Gong", but failed to make a pair with the "Diao Chan" in his hand.
In the face of the cruel reality, Lin Yi did not give up, but put the card behind him, constantly changing the position of the two cards, and then facing Queen Zhang on the reverse of the card, "It's time for the imperial sister-in-law to draw cards." ”
It stands to reason that after Queen Zhang's hand reaches out to a certain card, the expression on Lin Ye's face will definitely change, but as the game deepens, now Lin Ye's face is covered with notes, and it is impossible for Queen Zhang to judge whether the card to be drawn is beneficial to herself by observing her expression. So in Xiao Mu's view, from a statistical point of view, this is purely a random event that fights luck and probability.
Queen Zhang randomly drew out one, picked it up and looked at it, sure enough, it was the "Diao Chan" in Lin Ye's hand, which happened to be a pair with the "Xi Shi" in her hand, which was also a beauty card in her hand, and Queen Zhang won the game with the ambivalence of wanting to help Lin Yi win once, and on the other hand, she didn't want to stick a note on her face, and her face showed an embarrassed expression.
Xiao Mu originally thought that Lin Yi would be annoyed and angry, but this scene did not happen.
"Hey, lost again." I saw Lin Ye pick up another piece of paper and stick it on his face as he spoke. Then he put the cards together, skillfully shuffled the cards, and said with a smile: "Come on, come on, continue to continue, the emperor will also play together." ”
Xiao Mu saw that Ringo's mentality was so good, and the atmosphere of the whole table was so harmonious, so he readily agreed, sat down at the table, and waited for Ringo to split. As for Lin Ye's thoughts at the moment, Xiao Mu didn't know anything.
"Hmph, this elm head is here, and someone is finally at the bottom." Lin Yi shuffled the cards and thought to himself. The more he thought about it, the happier Lin Yi even laughed unconsciously, fortunately there was a note blocking it, and Xiao Mu didn't find out, Lin Yi quickly put away his smile, randomly picked out a card and pressed it under the teapot, and then concentrated on dealing cards.
Lin Ye dealt the cards, and a new round began. With the addition of Xiao Mu, the five people drew cards in a clockwise order, so the probability of wanting to make a pair also decreased a lot, until about a cup of tea passed, and it was Concubine Yuan who was the first to get out.
After there are four people left, the pace of the game has obviously become faster, almost a copy of the previous game, Concubine Tian also got out of the second place, and then Empress Zhang took out a "eight" with a civil official complement from Lin Yi's hand and then made a pair with another "eight" with a military attache complement in her hand, and successfully got out.
Obviously, the final loser will be between Ringo and Xiao Mu. This result also proves how wise Lin Yi's decision to pull Xiao Mu into the game was - otherwise, she would definitely be the loser in this game.
So Xiao Mu and Lin Ye started a battle of wits and courage, because they couldn't see Lin Ye's expression, so to a certain extent, Xiao Mu suffered a little.
Finally, when the final decisive moment came, as Xiao Mu stretched out his hand to the "Yue Fei" who had been repeatedly proven in this game to not be able to make up for it, Lin Ye's heart became more and more happy.
