Chapter 365: Rubbing Hemp
Zhao Fei did whet the appetite of Guo Jia and the others. So much so that the three of them kept fantasizing about what was covered under the cotton cloth. Zhao Fei called the three of them in such a hurry, presumably there must be something important on the table. But when the cotton cloth was lifted, the three of them couldn't help but show a trace of doubt.
There are only pieces of jade on the table, and the size of each piece of jade is very lovesick, and there is nothing else to be desired.
Guo Jia glanced at Zhao Fei, who seemed to be smiling, and then reached out and picked up a piece of jade and looked at it carefully. Turning the jade side upside down, Guo Jia found that this side was not a flat side. There are strips carved on it, and Guo Jia doesn't know what is in front of him.
Seeing that several people were puzzled, Zhao Fei said with a smile: "Presumably the three of you are wondering, wondering what this thing is." A few days ago, I was busy with official business, and I have not been idle until recently, so in order to treat a few of you, I specially invented this plaything for everyone to have nothing to do. After speaking, Zhao Fei's face was slightly red. I thought he also felt that his words were full of mistakes and omissions.
However, Jia Xu and the other three didn't care, especially Guo Jia, when he heard Zhao Fei say that it was a plaything on the table, his eyes lit up.
With Guo Jia's uninhibited personality, he has never played any plaything games. However, how many games can be played in the late Han Dynasty, except for playing chess, and then throwing pots and drinking. These things can still attract Guo Jia's attention at first, but over time, they also feel boring.
And this thing in front of him is different, because this thing is not to say that he has seen, Guo Jia has never even heard of it. Especially Zhao Fei has just said that he only invented this thing recently, so it attracted Guo Jia's attention even more.
Of course, there is another point, and that is his brother who has been working miracles. Guo Jia has never admired anyone in his life, but Guo Jia has always been in awe of his brother. The encounter with Zhao Fei is like having a providence in the dark, and Zhao Fei's appearance makes him realize that there are people outside the world. In particular, Zhao Fei's distilled liquor has achieved a level that is difficult for the ancients to reach.
When everyone was using ancient celebrities to motivate themselves, Zhao Fei had already done something that was difficult for the ancients to do. And Guo Jia prides himself on being a talented man with eight buckets and five cars, but compared with Zhao Fei, he always feels that there is something missing, which is why he recognizes Zhao Fei as his brother.
The distilled spirits of the past have already witnessed miracles, and the things on the table must be beyond the reach of the ancients. Thinking of this, Guo Jia hurriedly said, "Brother, what is this?" ”
Zhao Fei smiled slightly, covering up the embarrassment just now, and then said, "I named this thing Mahjong." Zhao Fei's expression had a smug smile, and his overall appearance looked very stinky.
"Mahjong?" Guo Jia and the three of them were all full of confusion, obviously everyone had heard of the word mahjong for the first time.
However, Guo Jia was the fastest to reflect, holding a mahjong in one hand, and asked with a little excitement on his face: "Brother, don't sell Guanzi, how do you play this plaything?" Guo Jia seemed a little impatient, and even Jia Xu and others were very confused. Lord Taiwei has always liked to create miracles, as can be seen in his distilled spirits. Now he has invented this thing called mahjong, and there must be a mystery in it. However, Rao racked his brains with the three of them, and he couldn't guess how this thing should be played.
Zhao Fei has just explained that it is a plaything, which proves that this is a thing of workers' entertainment. When it comes to entertainment, Rao is a workaholic like Jiang Zhe, and he will also play in his spare time, so Jiang Zhe is somewhat interested in playthings.
Seeing that the interest of the three people in the room was hooked by himself, Zhao Fei smiled slyly, and then began to introduce the game of mahjong to everyone. Zhao Fei is not a mahjong player, and he will only be relatively simple for all kinds of mahjong games. But this is enough, after all, Guo Jia and Jiang Zhe don't know anything about mahjong, so there is no need to teach too much trouble.
But that's enough, and for a few people who have never touched mahjong, these things have already filled everyone's feelings. Because the gameplay of mahjong is very simple, and the three people in the room are all intellectually excellent, they quickly achieved the first glimpse of the door in theory.
Seeing that the three of them were a little thoughtful, Zhao Fei hurriedly said: "It's not enough to just think about it, in theory, you have almost understood, but what is lacking now is practice." Zhao Fei patted the table, and then sat down at the table.
Seeing that Zhao Fei had something to say, it was difficult for everyone to refuse. Guo Jia, in particular, has begun to be a little eager to try. It's still office hours, but it's okay to play. After all, everyone is a little interested in this novelty.
"So what are you waiting for!" Guo Jiawei screamed, and then he did it to the position on Zhao Fei's right hand. Jiang Zhe and Jia Xu glanced at each other, and then sat down one after another, and then everyone began to play mahjong.
The comprehension ability of several people is very strong, except for the first few times Zhao Fei won a few cards in a row, and the next time began to be evenly divided.
Mahjong is an activity for both men and women, young and old, and everyone starts to enjoy it after just a few plays. Even Jiang Zhe, a workaholic, likes mahjong a little. It's also a good choice to play mahjong for a while.
After a few more fights, Zhao Fei suddenly said: "This kind of play lacks a little fun, so let's bet a few times." As he spoke, Zhao Fei took it out of his arms with his hand, and then took out a string of copper coins. Zhao Fei had already prepared this money, so step by step, to introduce the three of them into the gambling game, which was also calculated by Zhao Fei a long time ago.
Guo Jia and the three of them looked at the sincerity on Zhao Fei's face, and also thought that the lack of vegetables was indeed a bit boring, so they took out the copper coins in their arms and continued to gamble.
With the stimulation of money, everyone felt more energetic. Although each win or loss is just a few pennies, it is more or less exciting than not caring about it.
The three of them fought until sunset, and then listened. Looking at the three people present, Zhao Fei stood up and stretched his waist before speaking: "That's the end of today, we will fight again tomorrow." ”
Zhao Fei looked at the team of copper coins in front of his desk, his expression was full of pride. In today's battle, the recent earnings can be described as a lot of money, Guo Jiajia and the other three all lost, and they won alone, which made Zhao Fei very happy.
But Rao is like this, in fact, he doesn't need to win much, after all, the four of them are relatively small.
Compared with Zhao Fei, who was full of pride, Guo Jialuo looked a little depressed. In the past, he could be described as "an invincible player in the world". But now that they have lost, they have lost the most miserable, Jia Xu and Jiang Zhe can say that although they have also lost some, they are the biggest.
"Okay, then let's fight again tomorrow." Guo Jia said angrily.
And Jiang Zhe and Jia Xu both looked at this very lightly, although the two of them thought that the entertainment tools of this family of mahjong were quite good, but if they continued to play according to this situation, they would have a bit of a wasted sense of official business. Because the two of them were concentrating on mahjong, when Zhao Fei called a stop, the two of them found that it was already sunset.
Before, the two of them had never felt that time passed so quickly, so fast that they couldn't believe that time disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye.
Looking at Guo Jia, who was depressed, and Jiang Zhe and Jia Xu, who were full of surprise, Zhao Fei suddenly said: "I won a big victory today, so I will wait for the banquet." Zhao Fei laughed as he spoke, and smiled very proudly. I am very happy today, and I have never been so pistachio.
Hearing Zhao Fei's words, Guo Jia was naturally very happy, after all, Guo Jia was a natural fungiver, and he didn't have much sense of accusation in his heart. However, compared to him, Jiang Zhe was a workaholic, so after listening to Zhao Fei's words, he couldn't help frowning. Jia Xu, on the other hand, was expressionless, and he couldn't tell whether he was happy or sad on his face.
Looking at the three completely different expressions, Zhao Fei turned his head and said to Jiang Zhe, who had the most dignified expression: "Jiang Zhe doesn't need to be like this, just like the so-called combination of work and rest, you don't need to be like this." No one is working, and you don't feel a headache? As he spoke, Zhao Fei also rubbed his head.
"Still." Jiang Zhe still wanted to speak, but was interrupted by Guo Jia. I only heard Guo Jia mutter: "My brother said so, what excuse do you have, and what my brother said is not reasonable." ”
After Guo Jia finished speaking, Jia Xu also opened his mouth to help: "Fengxiao's words with Lord Taiwei are not unreasonable, Jiang Zhe, you work hard every day, and you should take a proper rest." ”
Seeing that the three people in the room all said this, Jiang Zhe didn't say anything more. At the same time, he was also thinking that since Zhao Fei was appointed as a lieutenant, he had become a little different from himself. Zhao Fei was appointed as a lieutenant, which brought him supreme glory, and he could even participate in court politics and enter the court.
But after his vanity was satisfied, his life also changed dramatically. In order to be able to do his job, Jiang Zhe can be said to have worked day and night. However, although Jiang Zhe took care of everything in an orderly manner, he gradually lost his smile.
Daily official duties have become mechanized, so Jiang Zhe has no free time at all, and it has also become no fun at all.
"Okay, you're right, I'm wrong." Glancing at a few people helplessly, Jiang Zhe smiled bitterly. But at this time, he didn't need to be so tired. In the past, the Taiwei Mansion could be described as a waste waiting to be rebuilt, so all the heavy burdens had to be done by Jiang Zhe himself. But now, the entire Taiwei Mansion has all the personnel, and they are performing their duties, and what Jiang Zhe can do is to judge the things summarized by his subordinates, and then give Zhao Fei what he thinks is important, so to speak, he really doesn't have too much to sit on.
