"This, this ......" Wu Jie was a little embarrassed.

After all, it's a form of gambling!

In the early years of the Ming Dynasty, gambling was strictly prohibited, and Ming Taizu had issued a decree that if someone gambled, once caught, he would cut off his hands directly.

Of course, this inhumane law was completely abolished by Chengzu with the death of Zhu Yuanzhang. Later, with the further development of the commodity economy, the wind of gambling gradually prevailed.

Today, the Ming Dynasty is at its most prosperous, and in the bustling metropolis, there are even specialized casinos, and a large number of money strings that lend money to gamblers are fed.

The people also have a tolerant attitude towards gambling, as long as the stakes are not large, they will turn a blind eye. Of course, the scholarly family with a strict family style strictly prohibits their children from participating in gambling.

Lu Bing is not from the imperial examination, and he is a rich man who rivals the country, and the children of the family do not need to study poetry and books hard, and it is harmless to play cards and add some color. Especially the ladies in the house, the spiritual life is depressed, and they like to beat the leaves, play dice or something.

At that time, Wu Jie also thought of this layer when he invented playing cards, but he didn't think there was anything wrong.

Of course, it is not good to affect the students' academics.

Hearing Dai Shisheng ask at this moment, Wu Jie didn't know how to answer.

When the old man's face was slightly red, to Wu Jie's surprise, Mr. Dai suddenly opened the drawer, took out a stack of playing cards made of hard kraft paper from it, and shuffled the cards neatly.

And asked: "What does this landlord say, if it is just a gambling tool, how can it be so complicated." Gamblers pay attention to being as crisp as a dice, and they roll their eyes dryly. Who is impatient to do so many tricks. ”

"Sir...... You ......" Wu Jie opened his mouth wide.

"Phew!" Dai Shisheng smiled faintly: "I have walked under the Lu Gongmen for decades, and if I come into contact with rude and unliterate soldiers, drinking and scolding my mother for playing money and killing people, you have done everything, you don't have to have such an expression." ”

The room was very hot, and Wu Jie's heart was even more sweaty. When I think about it, this is indeed the truth. The Mr. Dai in front of him has a broken foot, and there is such a long scar on his face, looking at his appearance, where is there still the appearance of a scholar.

You don't have to be so particular about talking to him.

Well, gambling is bad anyway. However, it is different to put a layer of culture on this kind of game. Just like the mahjong of later generations, 1.3 billion people gamble 900 million, but when veteran customers mention mahjong, they all say that this is the quintessence of the country. Anything, which is touched by the same culture, is born with a legitimate surname and a reasonable surname.

It seems that if you want to pass today, you really have to pull the poker towards this.

After thinking for a while, Wu Jie calmly spread out the fifty-four cards, pointed to the four suits and said: "Sir, these four suits of hearts, clubs, faces, and spades represent different professions. The heart represents the scholar, the spade represents the merchant, the square is the craftsman, and the plum is the farmer. ”

Mr. Dai sighed: "Shinong industry and commerce are called the four people." One of the representatives of the red heart is sincere and hot-blooded, which is understandable. The square is a brick, which represents the craftsman who built the house, which is also reasonable. Plum blossoms, flower spikes of rice and wheat are very vivid. As for spades, the merchant is unrighteous, but it is also vivid, which is a bit interesting. You continue. ”

Wu Jie pointed to the big and small ghosts and said: "This is the big and small ghosts, representing the night and the night, the yin and the yang, the sky and the earth, the positive and the negative." ”

"I can understand that. By the way, why each suit is from one to ten, and not from one to nine like the leaf cards. ”

Wu Jie didn't expect Mr. Dai to ask such an inexplicable question, and he was stunned, so he had to reply: "This is a game in our hometown, and I don't understand why?" ”

"It is good to be perfect, but you must know that the full moon is lacking, and the water is full, and it is better to only reach nine, and ninety-nine can be one."

Wu Jie was a little crying and laughing, good playing cards, you have to talk about philosophy on behalf of Mr., and you are not too tired: "Sir, this is only to nine, it's not good, it's broken, how can you make a straight?" ”

"Well, you go on."

Wu Jie introduced the king and queen respectively, and then said that Jack was a prince, and it took a long time to explain the origin of the playing cards.

Dai Shisheng nodded: "I have also pondered fighting landlords, although it is a kind of card game, it can have extremely high requirements for people's surnames and calculation skills." There is quite a bit of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, which means that it is planned in the midst of the battle. In particular, it is very beneficial to people's computing ability, and the children in my house will all become officials in the future. In the future, it is inevitable that you will have to deal with money and food, if you don't know any arithmetic, how will you be an errand in the future, please ask the staff? Wouldn't it be a joke if the students I taught on behalf of the school were still as ignorant of the world as the corrupt Confucians who were born in the imperial examinations? Fighting landlords is not bad! ”

Wu Jie: "Mr. is wise. But I don't think so, it's just fighting the landlord, what kind of computing ability can be cultivated. If you really want to use poker as a means of exercising your intellect, you might as well play bridge. Well, there's a chance to promote it.

Later, Wu Jie talked about the rules of the bridge game with Lu Chang and the others. As soon as this kind of card game with a strong competitive surname was launched, it immediately became popular in the Lu family. It's a pity, but there is nothing to do with Wu Jie. Although he has the name of a talented man, in fact, as far as IQ is concerned, he is an ordinary person, how can he be the opponent of those top people.

Later, bridge gradually spread in the capital, and a large number of masters also emerged. For example: Li Chunfang, a scholar, Zhang Juzheng, a scholar, and Huang Jin, a eunuch who is in charge of the seal...... Unlike the landlords who are happy to hear and hear for the general public, bridge has completely become an elite game.

"Of course, it's not good to play with landlords, don't play in the academy."

"Yes, students remember what Mr. taught."

Back in the school, as soon as he saw Wu Jie, Lu Chang immediately threw away the pen in his hand, rushed over, and asked: "Wu Jie, how is it, what did Mr. say, fight the landlord ......"

Probably feeling speechless, Lu Chang looked around vigilantly.

Hearing the word "landlord", Lin Tingchen next to him raised his head with a sneer on the corner of his mouth: "Gathering people to gamble in the school, Mr. Dai is notoriously strict. Whether Wu Jie can get out of this time with his whole body, the brother is very curious. ”

Wu Jie didn't bother to pay attention to Lin Tingchen, and whispered to Lu Chang: "Mr. didn't mention the matter of fighting the landlord. "It is really inconvenient to talk about the situation just now, but Mr. Tangtang actually discussed with the students about fighting the landlord, and it will be passed out, so that others will laugh at it.

Lu Chang breathed a long sigh of relief, patted his wide chest with his fat hand, and a wave of fat surged: "That's good, that's good." ”

Several other Lu family schoolchildren were also relieved, and at the same time said, "Brother Jie, it's okay." ”

Lin Tingchen was stunned for a moment, with a puzzled look on his face.

Lu Chang was also puzzled, and couldn't help asking: "That...... What did the sir tell you to do? ”

Wu Jie was not angry: "It's not that I haven't done well in my homework these days. ”

"Haha, haha!" Lin Tingchen burst into laughter: "What's bad, it's just stinky at all." ”
