"Yes, horse crane." Old Lady Liu nodded and replied.

Hehe, Shou Xinggong, are you kidding? Would a kid of this age play with that? Even if it's too late to learn, right? Su Quan said with a smile - this kind of game comes from the chips used in gambling, so when playing, it is generally bet on money to help fun, somewhat with a bit of gambling nature, but it is much more elegant than the real gambling, and winning cards not only requires luck, but also has a considerable intellectual component, plus the four people sit around a constant, while playing cards while chatting, they are happy, not only entertainment, but also can be used as a means of socialization, so it is very popular in the wealthy families of the official eunuchs, and such people pay attention to identity and reputation. It's impossible to run to the casino and gamble with a large group of people like ordinary people, right? Although the law of the Great Zhou Dynasty does not prohibit folk gambling, it is not a matter approved by the upper class after all, and ordinary people are not popular in the middle and lower classes because this kind of game is too complicated and not exciting enough compared to the game, the Liu family is the richest man in Meilong Town, and it is normal to like to play this kind of card game, but what about other people? It is estimated that among the dozens of guests who are present to celebrate the birthday, there are seven or eight out of ten pairs of this kind of game, and they only hear its name but have not seen it, right? This is true for adults, let alone for underage children. In addition to the gambling family that takes gambling as a business, who would teach such an old child to play a horse hanging?

"Yes, Dad, it's a bit inappropriate to let a child hang a horse, right?" Liu Wenxiong also felt that it was inappropriate for children to be compared to this.

"Haha, how could I let a child play a horse? You're thinking too much. Come on, go upstairs and get two pairs of horse cranes. Old lady Liu laughed, knowing that it was not easy to explain it with her mouth, so she had to use physical objects to demonstrate.

Juyoulou is opened by Liu's family, because it is the largest and best restaurant in Meilong Town, so there are often things similar to weddings and funerals or business talks, parties and other things are undertaken here, so the restaurant is equipped with all kinds of entertainment and pastime utensils, and horse cranes are naturally indispensable.

A word of command, not long after the effort there were two sets of horse cranes were taken, the cards were made of bamboo, each card was one inch long and half an inch wide and three points thick, respectively, neatly packed in two black lacquered boxes.

"Old lady, master, the things have been taken, please take a look." At this time, Ah Fu, who was sent back to Liu's Mansion to get the prize, also came back, holding two jade pendants, one green and one yellow, the style and size were not much different from the one Liu Wenxiong was wearing, but the texture was slightly worse, but even so, the valuation of more than ten or twenty taels of silver must have been there.

"Well, put it in the old lady's place." Liu Wenxiong commanded.

So, the three pieces of fluorescent jade pendants were neatly placed next to Mrs. Liu, and many people who saw it had their eyes shining and drooling, only hating that they didn't bring their own children for this birthday, otherwise they could make a small fortune.

"Oh, Ah Fu, hang the horse down on the table, wash it and put it face up. Leave a finger gap between each card. Old Lady Liu commanded.

According to the old lady's instructions, Ah Fu hung the two sets of horses on the table, first mixed them together with his hands, and then laid them out one by one, and the eighty cards were completely spread out, which filled half of the table.

"Old lady Liu, where are you going to sing?"

"Who knows, he has a lot of experience in his old age, and the topic is definitely not simple, just look at it."

When the cards were placed in the Ah Fu row, the onlookers exchanged their heads and whispered discussions, and no one could figure out what kind of medicine was sold in the old man's gourd.

After the cards were placed, Mrs. Liu asked Ah Fu to stand aside, and called Tan Xiaotian, Tian Qingyou, and Su Jing to the table, Tan Xiaotian was too short, only half a head taller than the table, and he also specially asked someone to bring a low stool and let him stand on it.

Thirty years ago, I had lived in Chengdu friends for a period of time, they also like to play horse hanging, and there are a lot of ways to play, and elsewhere is not the same, one of them is to wash the two horse hangs on the table, and then take turns to turn over, each person is limited to two at a time, if the two are the same, then take out the card pool, if not, then put back in place, so repeatedly, until all the cards are drawn, as for the victory, then to who draws the number of cards shall prevail, who draws more pairs, who is the winner, and so on, Three children, do you understand? Old lady Liu explained the rules of the game to the three children.

"Oh, that's right, right? Hehe, no problem, I'm fast, I'm sure I'll get the most draws. Tian Qingyou smiled eagerly, like that, I can't wait for the game to start right away - whether it is head or arm length, he is the most advantageous, Tan Xiaotian still needs to step on a low stool, he doesn't need to owe toes to touch the most middle card!

"Hehe, fat boy, this is not faster than who's hand, better than who has a good memory, strong observation, you first try to remember the position of the card, and then Ah Fu will turn over the cards and buckle them on the table, you have to rely on the impression to turn, after turning over, whether it is a pair or not, you have to show it to everyone, right, put it away, wrong, put it back as it is, three people have to take turns, everyone's opportunity is the same, understand?" Old Lady Liu corrected with a smile.

"Ahh Figured out that the rules turned out to be like this, Tian Qingyou's face suddenly became bitter.

"Son, don't be discouraged, this is not the same as endorsement, take out your ability to remember the name of the dish, and you must strive for the first! Come on!"

Knowing his son Mo Ruo's father, as soon as he saw his son's bitter appearance, Tian Dayi knew that his son had no confidence in winning the game, so he hurriedly encouraged loudly - he opened an inn, and his heart and eyes were much more than ordinary people, although he did not have the ability to distinguish which of the three jade pendants was the most valuable, but he knew that what Liu Wenxiong liked and wore for many years must be the best goods, if his son won the first place, he could get that jade pendant!

"Well, come on!" Fighting tiger brothers, going into battle as father and son soldiers, and being encouraged by his father like this, Tian Qingyou's fighting spirit came up again - yes, it is not good to memorize the words of the secretary, but it is not bad to remember other things! Clenching his fists, he replied to his father.

These two really deserve to be father and son, a pair of living treasures - I don't know how many people snickered in their hearts.

"Heh, Mr. Yuan, Mr. Su, do you think this competition question I came up with is still fair?" Old lady Liu asked the two teaching gentlemen.

"Hehe, how can your old idea be unfair?" Su Quan said with a smile - for his nephew, he has full confidence, how can an eight-year-old child's intellectual development lose to a five-year-old child? As for Tian Qingyou? That is the goods that accompany the prince to study, which is completely negligible.
