Chapter 47: Mahjong
The next day, Song Kai rubbed his panda eyes and got up early, he was pulled by Nie Lingdang and played until late at night.
However, Nie Ling can sleep lazily, after all, the inn opens late, but Song Kai can't, he has to go to morning training every day, and he can't get up late.
got on the horse and ran to the mountain behind Suzhou City.
Running with wooden piers, practicing fists and feet, push-ups, and a whole set, Song Kai was tired and out of breath.
"Song Kai! You have also been practicing for more than half a month, I see that your strength and speed have increased very well recently, it's time for actual combat, Niu Er, you are practicing with Song Kai today," Ma Chao, the head of the gang, walked over and said to Song Kaidao.
"Good!"
Song Kai jumped up, these days he has been watching others fight and kill all day long, and he finally has a chance to play.
Niu Er, Song Kai naturally knows, they are a gang, this person laughs all day long, he is not tall, but the bulging muscles are definitely not worse than Ma Chao.
Niu Er also walked over and grinned at Song Kai.
Song Kai arched his hand and said, "Niu Er, no matter how much you laugh, I won't show mercy." ”
"I'll do it lightly," Niu Erhan smiled.
As he spoke, Song Kai and Niu Er rushed together with a fist.
Before the fist hit Niu Er's body, Song Kai felt that his body was empty, and then with a "bang", Song Kai felt that his body bones were cracked and fell to the ground.
"I'll go!" Song Kai scolded, this gap is too big.
Niu Er walked over, helped Song Kai up, smiled, and then said stupidly, "When you fight with people, you have to open your eyes, you can't be afraid." ”
Song Kai understood and nodded, he was a good student in his previous life, and later became a doctor, in this life, his body is even more of a scholar's body, where will he have the experience of fighting.
"Okay, come again!"
Song Kai and Niu Er fought again, without any suspense, Song Kai was thrown away again, and then Song Kai found out that Niu Er was extremely good at wrestling.
The two of them competed with their fists and feet, and then picked up wooden weapons again, this time Song Kai and Niu Er were half a catty and eight taels, Niu Er used an axe, Song Kai chose a wooden knife, and the weapon was stained with white ash, whoever has more white spots on his body will lose. Looking at the points of the two people, Song Kai won more.
Ma Chao nodded, waved his hand and said: "It's not bad, since you are a person who learns martial arts, you usually don't do it, and when you do it, it's a battle of life and death, although your fist and foot kung fu are very poor, but the knife skills are not weak, and the fight between life and death can be regarded as okay, so I will concentrate on the sword skills in the future." ”
Song Kai arched his hand, and sighed secretly in his heart, his sword technique was passed on by Zhou Ce, and of course he made up for it.
After the morning training, Song Kai had two bruises on his face and rode back to the Hongchen Inn.
Nie Ling naturally couldn't help but laugh, and after the ridicule, he pulled Song Kai to play chess.
Song Kai ignored this product, and after eating, he continued to carve mahjong.
In the afternoon, a group of young people chirped as much as they could, and the leader was Li Menghan, who had a round face and a lovely face.
Li Menghan arrived at the counter and looked at Nie Ling, looking disbelieving.
Nie Lingzhong was looking down to get the account book, and when he saw Li Menghan's eyes, his eyes widened, and he said, "What are you looking at?" Get up and sit upstairs. "It's not that this Nie Lingdang doesn't like Li Menghan, but he hates Li Menghan's identity, he is also the county lord, but Li Menghan is well-dressed and well-fed, and he is fortunate to have met Song Kai, otherwise he would have been sold as a maid and insulted by which man.
Li Menghan was not angry, but was surprised: "It turns out that you are so beautiful in the shopkeeper, you used to have dog skin plasters on your face, I thought you were extremely ugly." ”
Hearing Li Menghan praise himself for being beautiful, Nie Lingdang was not good at being tough, he glanced at Li Menghan and said, "Are you beautiful even if you don't give birth?" Looking for Song Kai again today? ”
Li Menghan nodded, looked left and right, then turned around and said to a few young boys and girls: "You guys go up first, you have to pay cash for dinner today, you know?" ”
When Nie Ling heard this, she became even more gentle, and she took Li Menghan's hand, "Go, sister, I'll take you to Song Kai." ”
Several young boys and girls saw Nie Ling's face change so quickly, and they all felt a burst of disdain in their hearts.
When he arrived in the backyard, Song Kai was carving symbols on square pieces of wood.
"What is this?" Li Menghan approached and asked.
Song Kai greeted Li Menghan and said, "This is mahjong, a new type of chess game I invented." ”
When it came to the chess game, Nie Lingdang remembered that although she didn't like Li Menghan's identity very much, she still liked Li Menghan a lot.
"Let's go, Menghan, let's go play backgammon, it's also Song Faming's," Nie Lingdang pulled Li Menghan to the counter.
"But,...... I'm here to study......" Li Menghan hesitated.
"Learn what?" Song Kai asked.
"It's the arithmetic problem yesterday, my father said to let you tell me the solution, and the meaning of those symbols," Li Menghan said.
"Oh, let Nie Bell teach you addition and subtraction and Olaber numbers first," Song Kai said.
"Let's go, let's play chess while I'll teach you," Nie Lingdang hadn't forgotten about backgammon.
In the afternoon, Song Kai carved mahjong, to the front hall, the front hall was very lively, Li Menghan, Dabao, Erbao and others were playing chess noisily, these people would also play Go, but the chess skills were very stinky, and the five-in-a-row chess was much simpler, no need to look at the overall situation, only need to look at three or four steps, a bunch of people around the noisy noise.
"What a gentleman who is silent when watching chess!" Nie Ling shouted, but no one paid attention, and someone was still pointing.
Song Kai greeted him next to him and said, "Come on, there's a new way to play here, whoever comes, I'll teach you." ”
"I, I'll come," Li Menghan dropped his backgammon and ran over.
Nie Ling hesitated a little, but thinking that it was a new chess game, he also ran over, and finally Song Kai was about to call Dabao, but saw Xue Weihai walking in from outside, and laughed: "Song Kai Xiaoyou, can you bring an old man." ”
Li Menghan saw that it was Xue Weihai, and called "Grandpa Xue".
Song Kaidao: "It's just right, Xue Lao, come on, four people, come, let's play, I'll talk about the rules." ”
The four of them sat down, and Song Kai said the rules.
Xue Weihai was still a little uncertain at first, obviously having a lot on his mind, but after listening to Song Kai's explanation for a long time, he was also attracted.
Song Kai taught the most ordinary mahjong gameplay, there are no rules for lighting guns and flowers, and the four of them played two games, and they each had some experience.
In the end, everyone hurriedly had lunch, and continued to sit at the table, Song Kai changed to a big treasure on the field, and then took turns to give a few words, even Xue Weihai, the old man, had a lot of fun.
The lively chess game in the inn naturally attracts some guests, there are really too few entertainment items in this era, except for Go, listening to music or something, it is basically chattering, as for going to the Qinglou, ordinary people can't afford to consume, just consume once in a while, it is impossible to consume all day long.
More and more people gathered, and they asked to play it too, but there was only one pair of mahjong, but backgammon and chess were simple, and Song Kai gave a little guidance on how to play.
In the afternoon, two or three groups of people walked into the inn, and these people found the Hongchen inn after listening to Qiu Yue's words.
Qiu Yue is very grateful to Song Kai, and although she has not yet won the Oiran, she has already begun to help Song Kai promote his Hongchen Inn.
Nie Ling smiled, the inn's business finally had hope of improving, although it had only improved a little.
Song Kai looked at the scene and felt that it was feasible, so he asked Ah Fu to contact the carpenter, find a reliable and tight-lipped one, and go to the store to make a few more mahjong.
was busy in the backyard, Xue Weihai walked over.
"Old Xue, you're not playing?" Song Kai arched his hand and smiled.
Xue Weihai laughed a few times and stroked his beard, "This thing you invented is really good, but where did you learn it?" ”
"Our hometown, uh, I mean, from Shuzhong, a little improvement, it's done," Song Kai touched his nose, a little weak.
Xue Weihai didn't pursue the loopholes in Song Kai's words, he nodded and sighed, "If it's peaceful every day, so happy, life is not bad." ”
"It's really good, and besides, Xue Lao, aren't you more comfortable, you have nothing to do every day, come to my store to sit, unlike me, you have to be busy for the inn," Song Kai smiled and moved a wooden pier for Xue Weihai.
Xue Weihai stared at Song Kai's eyes, and did not sit down, he spoke: "Although it is not bad now, it is just the calm before the storm, Song Lang, you are a scholar, and you must know the current situation of the Tang Dynasty, old man...... The old man wants to invite you, not only the old man, but also the meaning of the concubine and the eldest princess, I want to invite you to serve the court, I don't know ......"
Song Kai waved his hand, "Old Xue, how many catties and taels I have, I know, maybe in these little things, you think I'm quite smart, but in fact, I'm all smart, I'm a person who doesn't want to be too restrained." ”
As he spoke, Song Kai's expression became serious, and he said in a low voice: "Song's shoulders are too small, and his vision is narrow, if one day, the country is embarrassed on the one hand, and the family is lost on the other, Xue Lao, Song will not hesitate to choose to protect his family and abandon the country!" ”
Xue Weihai's face changed, he glared at Song Kai, and then shook his head slightly, "Song Lang, I didn't expect you to be so selfish...... That's it, I didn't intend to persuade you when I came today, I came to tell you that Sun Tang went to Chang'an. ”
"Old Sun has left Suzhou City? Why? Song Kai was puzzled, and then remembered that yesterday in the princess's mansion, it seemed that he saw Xue Weihai, Sun Tang and others discussing something.
"He went to Chang'an to be the imperial doctor, and before leaving, he thought about it again and again, and still wanted to say to you, your surgical prescription, please ...... Please also keep it secret, don't let others know about it, he is very painful, and the doctor should have saved the life and helped the wounded, but Sun Lao said, if your side is used in the army, it can increase the vitality of the army of 10,000 people, and if it is obtained by the enemy, it will be ......"
Speaking of this, Xue Weihai stopped talking, and his expression was a little ashamed.
Song Kai waved his hand very generously, "I understand, Xue Lao, don't worry, although I am selfish, I also understand morality, that recipe, I may use it again, but it will never be passed on, it will not be spread for the time being, maybe after a few decades, the overall situation will be stable, I will send it out for free, hahaha." ”
"Farewell," Xue Weihai nodded and turned to leave.
