After coming out of Concubine Yuan's bedroom, Xiao Mu found that the scale of this Ming Dynasty harem was far larger than he imagined. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Although neither Emperor Chongzhen nor his predecessor, the Emperor of the Apocalypse, were lustful men - one was diligent in government affairs, the other was devoted to carpentry, neither of them had too many harem concubines. But the predecessor of their brothers, Zhu Changluo of Mingguangzong, who had only been the emperor for a month, was a strange man with abnormal male hormone secretion, and often needed several beauties to sleep together overnight, and at the same time changed different tricks every day, and the body could not bear it and relied on the "immortal medicine" to maintain, so although Xiao Mu's cheap father went early because he was only the emperor for a month, he left a huge group of harem concubines for the Apocalypse and Chongzhen brothers. The emperor of the Central Plains Dynasty is different from the leader of the nomadic people, and there has never been such a thing as a son marrying his father's wife, so in a sense, the concubines left by Zhu Changluo of Mingguangzong can only eat and not work, and need the current emperor to support them.

Further forward is Chongzhen's grandfather Wanli Emperor, this emperor reigned for a total of forty-eight years, is the longest reign in the entire Ming Dynasty, Xiao Mu thinks that even if he is a traverser, it is impossible to surpass this cheap grandfather - in Xiao Mu's view, after he takes over, he can maintain the sixteen years that Emperor Chongzhen insisted on in the original history is already considered to be extraordinary, against the sky. Obviously, as the longest-reigning emperor, even if Wanli is not particularly lustful, he is bound to leave a lot of widows, not to mention, Wanli's death is only seven or eight years ago, and most of the widows are still alive, and many are even very young.

In addition, what's more, there are a few old people in Longqing in this deep palace, in terms of generation, they should be at the level of Emperor Chongzhen's great-grandmother, because their husbands have died a long time ago, and so many emperors have been replaced in so many years, these people's lives are naturally not particularly smooth.

Xiao Mu said in his heart that he didn't plan to worry about political affairs today, didn't Lin Yi let himself go to the ladies and beauties of the harem, then just visit them all, anyway, I have already seen Concubine Tian and Concubine Yuan, and then go to see the widows of these ancestors, and care about their lives, and by the way, I can also pass the time. So Xiao Mu chose some of these people to visit them, chatted with them cordially, admired their calligraphy and paintings, needlework with great interest, and cared about their diet and daily life......

Xiao Mu vaguely felt that he was like a government dignitary who went to the community to send warmth to families in difficulty in his previous life, and he was a little stiff at first, but as he gradually adapted to this role, Xiao Mu became more and more handy, and before he knew it, Xiao Mu's reputation in the harem reached a new peak.

Xiao Mu himself didn't pay attention to his popularity in the harem. He found that most of the concubines of these former emperors were very young, many of them were in their twenties, the older ones were only in their early thirties, and those over forty years old were rare, after all, there were naturally not many survivors who could still stand after years of harem struggle. So many young concubines were a little younger when Xiao Mu participated in some outstanding youth selections in his previous life - Xiao Mu had witnessed a lecturer who could reach the age of forty rounded up to be selected as an outstanding young teacher when he was in college.

So many young women lost their husbands early, and were destined to be widowed for the rest of their lives in the deep palace, and from time to time they would be bullied and harassed by some powerful eunuchs and slaves. Life is not smooth, but also very monotonous, after a long time, it is strange that there is no problem with the mentality. Xiao Mu began to understand why the harem battles in the TV series were so cruel, if the eunuchs had mental problems due to the loss of important organs, these concubines would also have mental problems because they were widowed at a young age, so Xiao Mu regretted that it was difficult for the people living in the harem not to have mentality problems.

Xiao Mu decided that they should find something to do for them, starting with mahjong and playing cards, and he didn't plan to limit himself to just mahjong and playing cards.

……

After visiting the concubines in the palaces, the time was almost noon, and after Xiao Mu, who had successfully passed away the morning, had some lunch casually, he planned to take a nap beautifully, sleeping directly until three or four o'clock in the afternoon, and then waste the rest of the afternoon. In short, Xiao Mu just doesn't want to do serious things today, and this rhythm of life is very similar to when he was in college - of course, it is when he doesn't need to worry about his graduation thesis, which makes Xiao Mu feel very comfortable.

When he woke up, Xiao Mu stretched his waist and asked Wang Chengen, who was waiting next to him, "What time is it now?" ”

"Back to the emperor, it has just passed, and now it is Shen Shi." Wang Chengen returned.

Xiao Mu thought for a while in his heart: Isn't this three o'clock in the afternoon, saying that he will sleep until three o'clock, and it is really rare for someone like himself to be so punctual.

After drinking a cup of tea and sobering up his brain, Xiao Mu decided to implement the design of mahjong tiles and playing cards, thinking that if this matter was completed one day earlier, the cruel struggle in the harem would be alleviated one day earlier, and the concubines who had lived in the deep palace for a long time would be able to regain their lives one day earlier, Xiao Mu felt that what he was doing was not a simple game at all, and this little mahjong and poker would become a symbol and beginning of women's liberation! For such a meritorious thing, Xiao Mu decided to spend the whole afternoon carefully completing it, and if he couldn't finish it in the afternoon, he would not hesitate to use up the evening time.

After a period of self-hypnosis, Xiao Mu now sincerely believes that this is a noble mission that can shine in the annals of history, and it is by no means a plaything designed by himself to avoid dealing with political affairs.

Xiao Mu took pen and paper to write and draw, and began to design mahjong. About the origin of mahjong, Xiao Mu knows that there are many kinds of sayings, and the Ming Dynasty is most closely related to the Ming Dynasty during the Ming Dynasty, when the three treasure eunuch Zheng He went to the Western Ocean, the officers and soldiers on the ship because of the drifting at sea, life is very monotonous, and miss their hometown, after a long time, the mentality is unbalanced, and even has the idea of wanting to kill the official and rebel, Zheng He invented the game of mahjong tiles in order to stabilize the morale of the army, in which "10,000", "cake", "strip" respectively represent the number of money, buckets of fresh water and fleets, And use the east, west, north, south, and middle to represent different wind directions, this kind of game was invented and was well received by the majority of officers and soldiers, among which there is a general surnamed Ma who plays the most, so this kind of game is called "mahjong tiles".

Xiao Mu decided to design the modern mahjong directly, and if anyone asked about the origin of this mahjong, Xiao Mu would use the legend of Zheng He to fool them.

Starting from a simple "cake", I have been drawing for a long time, and the mahjong tiles are finally designed, and Xiao Mu begins to design the playing cards again. Compared to mahjong, the amount of work involved in designing playing cards is much smaller, and in Ringo's 2333 words, it is "not too easy". Xiao Mu designed it by dividing it by two.

After completing the design of the two game tools, Xiao Mu glanced at the time and found that the sun had not completely set: his efficiency was still quite high.

"Find someone to make something out of a wooden block and make it about this big." Xiao Mu handed the design results to Wang Chengen, gestured with his hand and said, "The things on this paper are made of hard paper and then the pattern is drawn." ”

Wang Chengen looked at the two pieces of paper handed over by Xiao Mu, the first one looked a little familiar, like something like a horse crane that he had once played, and the things on the second one were completely incomprehensible, like a book from heaven.

"Remember, make sure to make it from ordinary wood! Don't use ivory, tortoiseshell, jade, these things, if the final product is more than one tael of silver, I only ask! Xiao Mu warned and said, this is also what Xiao Mu just suddenly thought, it is really because the Emperor of the Apocalypse likes to do carpentry Yin Jian is not far away, Xiao Mu is also a little afraid of the history of the knife: it is obviously a good thing used to benefit the concubines of the deep palace and liberate women, if it costs too much, it will outweigh the losses if it is spread out and the taste will be changed, Xiao Mu does not want to give Emperor Chongzhen a bad reputation for being a plaything and wasting money.

Wang Chengen agreed repeatedly, while going down to arrange for someone to find a skilled craftsman to make, while reminding Xiao Mu and said: "Your Majesty, you read until late at night last night, and personally visited the masters of the palaces this morning, and worked hard to design this thing in the afternoon, please pay attention to the dragon body, rest early tonight, and have an early dynasty tomorrow......

"What! Tomorrow there is still an early pilgrimage? Didn't you go to the early court the day before yesterday? Xiao Mu listened to Wang Chengen's words and asked with a surprised expression.

Of course, Wang Chengen didn't know anything about when Xiao Mu was going to the court, but he thought that Xiao Mu wanted to escape from the court and pretended to be confused, so he patiently replied: "Back to the emperor, as usual, every three days, from the day before yesterday to tomorrow, it happens to be the day of the last dynasty again." ”

"Quickly bring me the way to the sect!" Xiao Mu commanded loudly, "There are other ministers, all of them have called me, I have important matters to discuss with them!" ”

Xiao Mu now feels like he has been playing happily for two months during the summer vacation, and it is not until the evening of the last day of the summer vacation that he knows that there are elementary school students who have not done their homework, and those officials who are clamoring to severely punish the remnants of the eunuch party are like teachers who check their homework......
