Chapter 176: Harmony

Previous Chapter

After Gong Zihong and Yan Liangping left.

Chu Mannu also left after explaining some words to Li Huaijin.

Then he dressed up in disguise and took advantage of the night to come to the inn.

She has a temporary foothold, but how can she compare to being crammed into a room with Pei Yun.

In the room, Pei Yun was doing something with small wooden blocks.

Pei Yun was holding a carving knife in his hand, and under the carving knife, small wooden blocks were formed.

Different small wooden blocks have the same volume as those carved out of a mold.

It is about two fingers wide and half a finger long.

Each piece is the same, not a cent.

On the surface, you can't tell the difference between these wooden blocks.

But if you turn the wooden block over, you can see that there are all kinds of patterns on the wooden block.

Some are like birds, some are in the font of the south, east and west, and some are bars and round......

Yes, there is nothing wrong with that.

What Pei Yun was doing in his hand was mahjong.

It's okay, and there are so many people, so naturally you have to find some pastime.

With pastime, you can distract yourself, so as not to stay together for a long time, and the eyes of each woman looking at her are green.

Here's what the words say.

There are only tired oxen, and there is no ploughed land.

Again, his own cow has not actually ploughed the land, and it would be too sad to be tossed to death like this.

Mahjong originated as a game for royalty and princely nobility.

Retrospectively, it has a history of more than 1,000 years.

In the process of evolution, it gradually spread from the royal and princely nobles to the people.

Historically recorded.

Legend has it that a man named Wan Piao in the Ming Dynasty created mahjong on the basis of "Ye Zi Ge Xi", using his own name "Wan Piao, Cake and Tiao" as the three basic suits.

Others say that the number of mahjong is one hundred and eight, which exactly represents the one hundred and eight heroes in the Water Margin.

The southeast and northwest represent the heroes, who come from all directions.

Zhongfa Bai means that some are middle class, some are high-ranking officials and nobles, and some are white.

There is another way of saying it.

It is said that mahjong is the "grain protection card" of Taicang, Jiangsu.

Taicang, Jiangsu Province once had a large royal granary, which hoarded rice all year round for the transfer of grain from the south to the north.

A lot of food naturally causes frequent finch problems, and a lot of food is lost every year due to finch problems.

In order to reward the number of birds catched, a grain keeper was hired, and the number of birds caught was recorded on a bamboo plat and a reward was paid for this.

This has become the "food protection card".

Through the chips engraved with a variety of symbols and numbers, it can be viewed, played, and used as a voucher for redeeming prizes.

The play, symbols, and nomenclature are all related to bird hunting.

For example.

The pattern of the "barrel" is the cross-section of the gunpowder gun, and the "barrel" is the barrel of the gun.

"Suo" is "bundle", which is a bird strung together with a thin rope, so the pattern of "a rope" is represented by a bird.

"10,000" is the unit of reward, and tens of thousands is the amount of reward.

In addition, "southeast, northwest" is the wind direction, so it is called "wind", and the wind direction should be considered when shooting birds with gunpowder guns.

Medium, white, hair.

"Medium" means to shoot, so it is red.

"White" means a blank slate, and a cannon.

"Fa" means to issue a bounty and receive a reward.

The mahjong term is also related to catching birds and protecting food.

"Bump" is the gunfire of "Peng".

The finished card is called "paste".

"Paste" and "falcon" are homophonic, and "falcon" is a kind of eagle that catches birds.

The local dialect of Taicang, Jiangsu Province is also called "mahjong" for "mahjong", and playing mahjong is naturally called playing mahjong.

The mahjong in Pei Yun's hand is in the final stage of carving.

Qin Qi'er sat opposite Pei Yun.

She doesn't know what mahjong is used for the time being, so she can only use mahjong as small squares stacked into different shapes, and she has a lot of fun playing.

Bedside.

It was Hu Sisi and Nangong Qianrongzi who were talking about female redness.

It's more about sewing clothes.

The end of the year is approaching, wear new clothes in the new year, and you can have good luck in the coming year.

In fact.

The people don't have so many new clothes to wear, and even whether they have clothes to wear is a problem.

Ordinary people, a piece of clothing is worn and worn, mended and mended.

In some people's homes, a piece of clothing has to be worn in turns, and whoever goes out to work will wear it, and those who don't have to work will be buried in the bed.

This is not an exaggeration.

A living example is right in front of her, when Pei Yun first met Qin Qi'er, she was wearing old clothes, and the clothes were mended and torn, torn and mended.

Life is much better now, but even the clothes on her body now have patches, but they are relatively decent.

Pei Yun didn't say that she wanted to buy her clothes, but her rhetoric was okay to wear.

That girl doesn't love beauty, can Qin Qi'er be an exception.

She just suffered, and she knew how to live better.

There is also Hu Sisi in the same situation.

However, Pei Yun has already said that this time to buy New Year's goods, let them all wear new clothes.

If one set is not enough, make two sets, and if two sets are not enough, make three sets......

Hu Sisi knows a little bit of everything, and sewing clothes has not been able to stump her.

And Nangong Qianrong has studied female celebrities and is ingenious.

It also gave them a common topic.

It can be said to learn from each other's strengths.

Hu Sisi's craftsmanship is simple and practical, while Nangong Qianrong's craftsmanship is exquisite, and the cost is relatively more.

Before Chu Mannu came back, there was harmony in the small room.

Seeing Chu Mannu coming back, Qin Qi'er put down the small wooden blocks that were stacked high, poured her a cup of hot tea, and said, "It's cold, warm up." ”

Chu Mannu is not really cold, she is a person who practices martial arts, and her physical fitness is better than that of ordinary people.

However, this cup of tea did make her feel warm.

Seriously, she was very envious of Qin Qi'er, but she was not jealous.

If she was in her position, she would never be able to do what she did.

No wonder he spoiled her so much.

Come to think of it, it's actually pretty good.

At the very least, he could have someone who could miss him.

He's always got someone by his side.

That's what you can't do.

Therefore, I can envy, but I don't have the qualifications to be jealous.

After pouring tea for Chu Mannu, Qin Qi'er also folded up small squares, but from time to time she raised her head to look at the man sitting opposite, and her face couldn't help but show a smirk.

As for pouring tea for Chu Mannu, it was just a natural move.

Chu Mannu, who was drinking tea, sat down.

"You say, I'll listen." Although Pei Yun didn't stop what he was doing, he put on a listening appearance.

Chu Mannu told the whole story of meeting Gong Zihong word for word.

Yes, word for word.

Whether it is what Gong Zihong said to her, or what she said to Gong Zihong, there is nothing bad to tell Pei Yun.

It can even be said that Pei Yun participated in the whole meeting and what kind of topics would be mentioned.

Participation is not a matter of being present.
