Chapter 241 Q version of mahjong (I)

Early in the morning of the twenty-eighth day of the lunar month. The Assassin's Mansion was bustling and noisy. Xiaoxiao led a group of maids and servants to be busy, loading all kinds of fresh fruits and vegetables into the carriage. There are also makeshift tents, stoves, etc. Because last night, the family discussed again, and some people said that it was uncomfortable to stay in a hotel, and Li Qin kept shouting, saying that he hadn't tasted his sister's craftsmanship for a long, long time.

Based on the above two reasons, Xiaoxiao remembered one of the things he liked to do most when he was a child - picnics. After thinking about it for a while, he simply gritted his teeth and stomped his feet: "Okay, then we won't live in the store and don't eat the things outside, and we will solve it all by ourselves, but don't complain when the time comes!" ”

Li Qin jumped three feet high at that time: "Whoever complains is the grandson...... and the result is naturally inevitable that Mrs. Li "> a meal of fried chestnuts......

Jiang Zhixuan has not relaxed for a long time, and now that it is just in time for the New Year's Festival, he can relax for a few days. Therefore, he was also dressed casually, wearing a melon skin hat, shaking a folding fan, stepping on one of the carriages with clogs, and happily holding his precious son Tiger Head in his arms.

Twelve people, in three carriages, went to West Lake. There were also eight maids and ten personal guards accompanying him, Jiang Zhixuan was once bitten by a snake, and he was afraid of the well rope for three years. In addition to the ten personal soldiers brought with him on the surface, he also asked the captain of his personal soldiers to lead a full team of fifty personal soldiers to guard in secret......

Dozens of miles away, the carriage arrived in an hour. After arriving at the West Lake, the little leader unloaded the things prepared on the carriage under a quiet forest and began to set up camp. The soldiers quickly erected five tents, facing the West Lake, which is only a few dozen meters away, with a lawn in the middle, with a beautiful environment and a wide field of vision......

Take advantage of the opportunity for the maids to arrange pots and pans and clean vegetables and fruits. Xiaoxiao pulled Jiang Zhixuan aside, pointed to the uneven shores along the West Lake, and said to Jiang Zhixuan:

"Husband, look at this Mingsheng Lake, the scenery is so beautiful, but this lakeshore is too much to affect the view. As a three-yuan jinshi, the head of the literati who has been in Zhenguan for eight years, and now he happens to be the honor of Hangzhou, why not do a very elegant thing to repair and smooth the shores of this West Lake, so that the people can stroll along the lake and enjoy the beautiful scenery of this world! ”

Jiang Zhixuan raised his eyes when he heard this, and really saw that the coast of the West Lake was indeed very unsightly. Pondered silently for a while, then nodded slightly:

"Madame" > reasonable, if the shores of this West Lake can be repaired and leveled, it can indeed be convenient for countless tourists. However, I am afraid that there is a lot of money, food, and possessions. This matter allows the husband to think about it carefully, and when the Suzhou-Hangzhou salt and iron case is over, if the husband can continue to serve as the honor of this mansion, he will definitely take this matter as a top priority! ”

Xiao Xiao Yanran smiled: "That's good, husband, think about it, Mingsheng Lake has been famous since the Eastern Han Dynasty, but now for hundreds of years, no one has made any modifications to Mingsheng Lake." If the husband puts the lake shore around the embankment, it takes some effort to paint it white. Make use of the empty mountains on all sides of the lake, build some pavilions and pavilions, for the literati to drink and write poems here, so that the green mountains, green waters and white embankments reflect each other, and the literati and scholars recite poems, what a wonderful natural picture scroll should it be? The husband will also be praised by later generations of literati and for his merits, which can be regarded as a legend for eternity, right? Fewer words"

Jiang Zhixuan was tickled by a little teasing, and the most desirable thing for the literati of the past dynasties is probably the four words of the small: "Eternal Romance". Now that such a good opportunity is in front of him, can Jiang Zhixuan not be moved?

When infinite longing is born in the heart. Li Qin's voice came: "Sister, brother-in-law, the tent is set up, how can we distribute so many of us?" Sister, don't stay there and watch the scenery, come and assign it. It's almost noon, shouldn't we make a fire and make food? ”

Jiang Zhixuan's train of thought was interrupted, and he glared back at Li Qin a few times in annoyance. Li Qin looked at him innocently, and his expression seemed to say, "What did I do wrong again?" ”

Xiaoxiao was not angry, and when she heard this, she let her husband continue to be stunned here, and turned around and went back to distribute the tent. Of course, she and her husband want one; The eldest uncle and his wife and the second uncle each have one top, Li Qin lives on the top with the tiger's head, and Mrs. Li "> takes the maid and Dandan, and lives with Wu Huihuan on the last top." Li Qin and Wu Huihuan have never been married, and being able to follow Li Qin to Hangzhou is already the limit of the old man of the Wu family, of course, it is impossible to be in the same room again......

After allocating the tents, Xiaoxiao took a few maids and began to make a fire to cook on the field marching stove set up by the soldiers. Li Qin volunteered to help, and Wu Huihuan was naturally a husband and wife. So this unmarried couple, one became a firesmith, and the other became a rough maid who gave a hand to Xiaoxiao.

The other people in the tent had nothing to do, so they also ran out to help with the fight, but the marching stove was so big, where could there be so many people. In addition, the tiger head and the two little naughty balls are always restless, looking at such freshness and wanting to touch it, and seeing that it is so fresh, I also want to do it. Several old people smiled and hugged them in their arms, and stood a little farther away to watch the little busy......

The smell of delicacies soon wafted out of the marching pot, and now the status is different, and the economic situation of the family has long surpassed the so-called "well-off" in later generations. Stepping into the ranks of the so-called "rich", Xiaoxiao personally bought all kinds of seasonings that could be bought on the market, so the dishes made were naturally more delicious. So much so that after eight dishes and one soup were served, Li Qin sighed repeatedly:

"Brother-in-law, my little brother is envious of you more and more, there is such an existence in the family that surpasses the chefs of major restaurants, no wonder you disdain those restaurants and restaurants on weekdays......"

Jiang Zhixuan was also in a rare good mood today, and when he heard this, he picked up a piece of sweet and sour fish with chopsticks and put it in his mouth, and said with a triumphant smile while chewing:

"Your sister's good, it's far more than that......" The words had just begun, when he felt a kick in the leg, and looked up, it was his wife who was sitting next to him, ">." At this time, Mrs. "> Zheng gestured to herself with her eyes, and with Mrs. "> eyes, Jiang Zhixuan immediately stopped speaking. You can't talk nonsense, Li Qin's future daughter-in-law can also make it at this table, although she is quietly enjoying the food made by Xiao Xiao at this time, but who knows what she is thinking in her heart? Especially after hearing Jiang Zhixuan's words......

The family spent two days happily playing in the West Lake, boating around the lake during the day and lighting a bonfire at night. The barbecue serves lake carp harvested from fishermen in the lake, as well as a variety of chickens, ducks, and fish purchased from the market. Li Qin and Jiang Zhixuan used the spirit of wine to recite poems. A group of elders laughed and judged on the side, as for the tiger head, he had the addiction of being an older brother, pulling his one-and-a-half-year-old younger siblings and scurrying around in the laps of adults, so uncomfortable!

……

On the afternoon of the thirtieth day of the lunar month, the people who were a little exhausted from playing returned to the Thorn History Mansion from the West Lake. Everyone went back to their rooms to wash and clean up, although the Thorn Mansion was big. But there are no more than 10 bathrooms for people to bathe at the same time. So Xiaoxiao and her husband, as well as Li Qin and Wu Huihuan, stayed in the main hall first, respecting the old and loving the young, in a scholarly family like the Jiang family, it is natural!

After sitting down and chatting for two or three sentences, someone ran in with a wooden box and handed it to Jiang Zhixuan:

"Master, this is sent by the state government at noon today, saying that the master is in a hurry!"

Jiang Zhixuan took it and opened it to look at it, then handed the box to Xiaoxiao: "Madam" >, this is what you asked to do for your husband, please Madame" > look at it and see if there is anything wrong! ”

Xiaoxiao took it and looked at it, and immediately exclaimed: "Ah, husband, the concubine remembers that the cow bones seem to be black, right?" These mahjong tiles are snow-white, what materials are they made of? ”

Jiang Zhixuan didn't pay attention to the materials, and when he heard his beloved wife say this, he hurriedly came over to take a look, only to see that the so-called mahjong tiles were not snow-white as his beloved wife said, but a faint yellow white. After carefully identifying it, I didn't see a reason.

At this time, Li Qin and Wu Huihuan also came over. Li Qin saw that this was the kind of very interesting thing that the old lady was talking about, so he curiously grabbed several of them, played with them in his hand, and handed two of them to his Huan'er. Wu Huihuan seemed to be a knowledgeable person, holding two mahjong tiles and observing them for a while, and also exclaimed:

"Ah, this is ivory......"

"Huh?" The three people next to him, who were still studying carefully, stopped what they were doing at the same time when they heard this, raised their heads to look at Wu Huihuan with an exclamation, and then asked in unison:

"Huan'er, is this true?"

Wu Huihuan was taken aback, and then nodded affirmatively: "Yes, my father has a pair of ivory folding fans given by the officials." Hui Huan once played with it in his hand, and the material of the folding fan was the same as this...... Hemp...... Ma ...... "Wu Huihuan forgot what this thing is called.

"Mahjong tiles ......," Li Qin immediately added.

"Yes, mahjong tiles, the material of the folding fan is exactly the same as this mahjong tiles!" Wu Huihuan's tone was extremely affirmative and unquestionable......

Xiaoxiao listened to Wu Huihuan's words, raised her head and looked at Jiang Zhixuan: "Husband, didn't you ask the concubine to let them use cow bones to make it?" How did you change it to ivory? This is a rare thing that is more precious than jade......"

Jiang Zhixuan's brows had already wrinkled into a big pimple: "How can you know about your husband?" The husband obviously told the prisoners to let them carve from cow bones, but how could they expect that they would take matters into their own hands and use ivory instead? ”

Xiaoxiao was speechless for a while: "Didn't the concubine ask your husband to find a few craftsmen who are good at carving?" Why do you give it to those who will be prisoners? You are the lord of the house, and those who will be the prisoners will naturally use the best materials in order to please you......"

Jiang Zhixuan was stunned when he heard this, and knew that his wife's words >were not bad, and this should be the reason...... But thinking like this, Jiang Zhixuan's heart was not steady: "Madam" >, let's send this mahjong card back first, right?" We can't just accept such a precious thing as a few words, otherwise, in the future, if anyone who will be a prisoner asks for anything, the husband will be in a dilemma......"

Xiaoxiao originally thought the same thing, but this mahjong is extremely delicately carved. Moreover, ivory mahjong is a very expensive luxury even in later generations, and it is a good thing to be able to have a pair as a treasure. The most important thing is that these tusks were originally one by one, but now they have been cut into such small pieces that it is no longer useful to send them back, and they need them at home anyway, so it is better to keep them. Thinking like this, Xiaoxiao told her husband what she thought in her heart:

"Husband, anyway, this ivory mahjong has been made, and my mother, uncle, second uncle and others have long been eager to wear it, and it is useless to send it back to be a prisoner at this time. It's better for us to stay, and ask the general to ask the supervisor for another day, who took the initiative to change the cow bone into ivory, and then see how much ivory is used, and we will pay according to the price......"

Jiang Zhixuan hesitated for a while, feeling that what his beloved wife said was reasonable, so he nodded: "It's just like this, alas, I regret that I shouldn't listen to my wife" > words, and found an outside carver to engrave. At that time, the husband was thinking about so many cards, I was afraid that it would take a lot of time, and there were many people who would be the prisoners, and there were many craftsmen who were good at carving, so they took it to the generals to carve it, and they didn't think that they would replace the cow bones with ivory, so many mahjong tiles, how many tusks do you have to use? ”

Wu Huihuan probably counted, thought silently in his heart, and then said, "Sister...... Brother-in-law, judging from the size of these mahjong tiles and the size of the ivory, about six to seven tusks will be used, and the price of each ivory is about ...... About 400 ......"

Jiang Zhixuan counted his fingers, and immediately cried bitterly: "God, such an oversight will cost nearly three thousand yuan, madam" >, or let's go back...... "Although he is already a high-ranking official of the third grade and a state assassin, Jiang Zhixuan is still very cautious about money, plus he doesn't know how much income his family has now, it is normal for him to make such a fuss......

Xiaoxiao smiled when she heard this: "Husband, it's only two or three thousand yuan, our family can still afford it, so don't think too much about it......"

Jiang Zhixuan's face was still full of entanglement: "My husband knows that our family can afford it, but Mrs. "It's not easy to make money >, how can you pay such a big price because of a small thing for fun and your husband's negligence?" My husband is uneasy......"

Xiaoxiao was a little speechless, but in front of Li Qin and Wu Huihuan, it was not easy to tell him the truth, so he said:

"Husband doesn't need to be like this, the key is to let the mother and uncle have fun, just let us be filial to the elders, hehe, don't think about it, come, help the concubine to count together, the concubine remembers, a total of one hundred and forty-four cards, and each suit has the same four cards, Brother Qin, Hui Huan, don't play, you also come to help me count ......"

Although such a thing has never been done, what kind of place is the prison, it is an official factory, which produces all kinds of fine things, and it is the Lord Thorn Shi himself who has explained it, how dare they not be careful about such a thing, and there will naturally be no mistakes in the things they make.

After counting, checking the suit, and confirming that it was correct, several people stared at each other, and after a while, Li Qin said tentatively: "Sister, anyway, my mother and uncles haven't come out yet, or, let's have a few of them first?" ”

Xiao Xiao was quite moved when she heard this, looked up at Wu Huihuan and her husband, and saw that they were also full of eagerness to try, Xiao Xiao couldn't help but smile, and nodded at the moment and said:

"It's okay, I'll teach you first, and after you learn, I'll teach a few uncles and aunts and mothers in a while, one for each of them, so that it will ......be faster."

"Great!" Li Qin cheered, and then asked urgently, "Sister, this ...... How to play? What else is needed? ”

Xiao Xiao thought for a while: "Well, it's better to have a special table, but not now, let's replace it with the Eight Immortals Table first, and ask someone to make a table tomorrow!" ”

"Great, let's get started!" Li Qin was already impatient, turned around and went to find the Eight Immortals Table, and soon carried a Eight Immortals Table into the main hall with his subordinates. Then he brought four benches and placed them in the four directions, then raised his head and asked:

"Sister, put it like this...... Right? Fewer words"

Xiao Xiao groaned, this unobtrusive thing, but it has the potential and talent of a gambler, and he was about to nod, but he heard Jiang Zhixuan speak:

"Madame" >, this ...... Doesn't seem like a good place to play in the main hall? Fewer words or ...... Let's change places? ”

"Flower Hall!" , Xiaoxiao and Fujun said in unison, then looked at each other and smiled, and said again. After that, they didn't call for help, Jiang Zhixuan and Li Qin worked together to lift the Eight Immortals Table and run towards the flower hall, Xiao Xiao and Wu Huihuan each picked up two benches, and hurriedly rushed towards the flower hall, and when they reached the flower hall, the two delicate beauties were already tired and out of breath. Li Qin was in good spirits, and he ran back to the main hall again, slipped a box of mahjong tiles over, and poured the mahjong on the table again, Li Qin shouted:

"Hurry up, let's get started!"

Xiaoxiao and Wu Huihuan had never gasped for breath, and when they heard this, they opened their mouths at the same time: "What is the monkey anxious about?" Will you die if you rest? ”

Li Qin rolled his eyes, ignored the two women, turned around and said to Jiang Zhixuan: "Brother-in-law, ignore them, let's come first!" ”

Jiang Zhixuan rolled up his sleeves with a serious face: "Okay, let's come!" ”

As a result, as soon as the two old men sat on the edge of the table, they made another difficulty: "What about these more than 100 cards, piled up on the table, how to play?" ”

Li Qin studied it, and was blinded by him, only to see that he and Jiang Zhixuan joined forces to buckle all the mahjong tiles face down, and arranged them neatly. But after that, Li Qin didn't know how to operate, and after thinking for a long time, Li Qin said tentatively again:

"Brother-in-law, this should be bigger than the size...... Oh? It's just, there are so many cards, how can you compare? ”
