Chapter 125: The Quartet
Under Du Chen's supervision and supervision, the first pair of jade mahjong in Chinese history was born.
The moment he got mahjong, Du Chen was very happy. After coming to the end of the Han Dynasty for a long time, Du Chen was the first time he saw something that had something to do with later generations. Although the distiller was invented by Du Chen based on the ideas of his previous life, it is far from the 21st century. However, the mahjong in front of me is completely modeled after the mahjong of the 21st century.
Both the size and pattern of mahjong are exactly the same as those of later generations.
On the day the mahjong was made, Du Chen ordered someone to invite Guo Jia, Jia Xu and Xi Zhong. The three of them didn't have much official business, especially Guo Jia, who was the first to arrive when he received Du Chen's call.
When Guo Jia came to Du Chen's office, he saw the square table in the hall at first glance, and there seemed to be some things piled up on the square table, but it was covered with cotton cloth.
Guo Jia was curious, and wanted to lift the cotton cloth to see what was on the table, but just as he was about to act, he was stopped by Du Chen.
"Si Lang, what is on the table, and why is it so mysterious?" Staring at the cotton cloth on the square table, Guo Jia asked with some scratching his ears and cheeks.
And Du Chen didn't pay any attention to Guo Jia's anxious mood, but said lightly: "After Wenhe and Zhicai come, you will know what is on the table." â
Hearing Du Chen say this, Guo Jia didn't say anything, but judging from his expression, he was still very anxious.
After a while, Xi Zhong and Jia Xu walked into the hall one after another. And both of them obviously saw the square table in the hall, and both of them showed a puzzled expression. But the two of them knew the depth of their own knowledge, and they didn't ask questions like Guo Jia.
Seeing that everyone had arrived, Du Chen came to the square table with a smile, pinched the cotton cloth on the square table with one hand, and then said, "Since everyone is here." And the dust will show you a fresh object. After speaking, Du Chen pulled down the cotton cloth on the square table. Du Chen's words really whetted the appetite of Guo Jia and the others, so that the three of them kept fantasizing about what was covered under the cotton cloth. Du Chen 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 were no more than pieces of jade on the table. The size of each piece of jade is very lovesick, and there is nothing else to be desired.
Guo Jia glanced at Du Chen, 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, Du Chen 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 didn't have a lot of leisure until recently, so I wanted to treat a few of them. Dust specially invented this plaything for everyone to do idle. After speaking, Du Chen's old face turned red. Because he also felt that his words were full of mistakes.
However, Jia Xu and the other three didn't care, especially Guo Jia, when he heard Du Chen 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. But how many games are there to play in the late Han Dynasty. In addition to playing chess, then there is the pitcher drinking. These things can also attract Guo Jia's attention at first. But over time, it can 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 Du Chen has just said that this thing was only recently invented by him, so it attracted Guo Jia's attention even more.
And one more point, of course. That is his Du Chen, Du Silang, who has been creating zĂ o miracles. Guo Jia has never admired anyone in his life, but Guo Jia has always had a sense of awe for his friend Du Chen. The encounter with Du Chen is like having a providence in the dark, and Du Chen's appearance makes him realize that there are people outside the world. In particular, Du Chen's distilled liquor welcome pine has achieved a level that was difficult for the ancients to reach.
When everyone is using ancient celebrities to motivate themselves. Du Chen has done what the ancients could hardly do. And Guo Jia prides himself on being a talented man with eight buckets and five cars, but compared with Du Chen, he always feels that there is something missing, which is why he recognizes Du Chen as a genius among the three talents.
The distilled liquor welcome pine has already witnessed miracles, and it must be that the things on the table today are also objects that are beyond the reach of the ancients. Thinking of this, Guo Jia hurriedly said, "Si Lang, what is this?" â
Du Chen smiled slightly, covering up the embarrassment just now, and then said: "Chen named this thing Mahjong." Du Chen's expression had a smug smile, and the 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: "Silang, 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 zĂ o miracles, as can be seen with his distilled liquor welcome pine. 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.
Du Chen has just explained that it is a plaything, which proves that this is a thing for entertainment. When it comes to entertainment, Rao is a workaholic like Xi Zhong, and he will also play in his spare time, so he is somewhat interested in playthings Xi Zhong.
Seeing that the interest of the three people in the room was hooked by himself, Du Chen smiled slyly, and then began to introduce the game of mahjong to everyone. Du Chen is not a mahjong pass, and he will only be relatively simple for various mahjong games. But this is enough, after all, Guo Jia and Xizhong don't know anything about mahjong, so there is no need to teach it too much.
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, Du Chen hurriedly said: "It's not enough to just think, in theory, you have almost understood, but what is lacking now is practice." Du Chen patted the table, and then sat down at the table.
Seeing that Du Chen had something to say, everyone was not easy 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 did the position on Du Chen's right hand. Xi Zhong 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 Du Chen 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 workaholic drama Zhongzhong likes mahjong a little. It's also a good choice to play mahjong for a while.
After a few more fights, Du Chen suddenly said: "This kind of play lacks a little fun, why don't we gamble a few times." As he spoke, Du Chen took it out of his arms with his hand, and then took out a string of copper coins. Du Chen had already prepared this money, so step by step, to introduce the three of them into the gambling game, which was also calculated by Du Chen a long time ago.
Guo Jia and the three of them looked at the sincerity on Du Chen's face, and also thought that there were not many lottery heads, which were 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, Du Chen stood up and stretched his waist before speaking: "That's the end of today, we will fight again tomorrow." â
Du Chen looked at a team of copper coins in front of his desk, his expression full of pride. In today's battle, the recent earnings can be described as a lot of money, Guo Jiajiaxu and the other three all lost, and they won alone, which made Du Chen 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 Du Chen, 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 Xi Zhong 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 Jia Xu and Xizhong both look at this very lightly, although the two of them think that the entertainment tools of this family of mahjong are quite there, but if they continue to play according to this situation, they will break some of the meaning of wasted official business. Because both of them were concentrating on mahjong, when Du Chen stopped, 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 Xi Zhong and Jia Xu, who were full of surprise, Du Chen suddenly said: "Today, Chen has a big victory, so I invite you to wait." Du Chen laughed as he spoke, smiling very proudly. I am very happy today, and I have never been so pistachio.
Hearing Du Chen's words, Guo Jia was naturally very happy, after all, Guo Jia was born to play fun, and he didn't have much sense of accusation in his heart. However, compared to him, Xi Zhong was a workaholic, so after listening to Du Chen'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. (To be continued......)
