Fifteen days later, the fourth master brought two sets of mahjong into the palace.
One is a jade carving and the other is an oak carving.
The material for jade carving is expensive, the jade is very gorgeous and white, and the carving is naturally good, but it seems ordinary.
Looking at the oak carvings again, the fourth master poured it on the table. Yu Wenhao picked one up and looked at it, and was shocked.
Where are the mahjong tiles here? This is a work of art.
On the four sides of the mahjong, a red dragon is flying. It is a small dragon, but every dragon scale is clearly visible, and the dragon's whiskers are lifelike.
What's even more surprising is that all the mahjong dragons are exactly the same, no bigger, no smaller, no longer beards, no shorter scales, to use what Lao Yuan often says, it's like copy and paste.
Same.
However, these are all hand-carved, and it only took half a month to carve. Such a delicate work cannot be done for half a year?
Master Xu's craftsmanship is not only exquisite, but also amazing. The craftsmanship and speed have reached their peak.
The fourth master was very depressed. This was originally his mahjong, but because he mentioned the emperor, Master Xu carved the dragon. After carving the dragon, could he still own the mahjong? Naturally, he could only hand it over.
Now the material cost and labor cost are all paid by him, but the things are not his.
After Yu Wenhao was amazed, he noticed the fourth master's depression and patted him on the shoulder and said, "Don't be stingy. Although this mahjong is kept in the palace, it will definitely be yours when we play."
"Stop irritating me with your words, I can't stand irritation." Fourth Master snorted.
Yu Wenhao said with a smile: "Then you go back and ask her to carve another one for you, all with snow wolves... But snow wolves are not easy to carve. After all, the dragon is one piece and can be coiled on all sides. How can a snow wolf be coiled on all sides?
What? Separate into four pieces?"
These words were very hurtful and insulting. The fourth master shook his sleeves and left the palace angrily.
"You don't want your jade mahjong anymore?"
"No!" Fourth Master left without looking back.
Yu Wenhao shrugged, he got two pairs of mahjong in vain.
After cleaning it up, he took it back to show off to his wife. Yuan Qingling was also shocked by Master Xu's craftsmanship and sighed: "It is not an exaggeration to describe her as a great master. It is Chitong's blessing to be able to learn skills from her.
"
"You are right, she is a role model for women, Lao Yuan, shouldn't the weekly give her a cover?"
"Well, there have been stories about her before, but I definitely think she deserves a cover story." Yuan Qingling nodded.
Yu Wenhao then began to indulge in playing mahjong.
He himself was half a bucket of water. He was complacent and did not improve his skills, and was quickly overtaken.
For several nights in a row, I lost everything, twenty bucks, and felt as if I had been ripped off a piece of flesh.
While looking at the empty box, he murmured, "It's just for fun, so why are you playing with money? Playing with money is called gambling, right? One by one, the court officials gather together to gamble without paying attention to the impact. Don't mess around.
No more, just owe it to me, I’ve lost all my twenty coins.”
"Isn't this what you decided? You're cheating?" the first assistant pursued calmly, "It's okay to owe, but I already owed three condoms last night, and I said I would pay it off today, and today you said again
It’s a bad idea to give money before you even start playing. Look, I didn’t pay off last night’s payment, and I owe it again today.”
"Let's make an IOU." Fourth Master frowned, "Don't waste time, start quickly."
"No IOUs. After I ascend the throne, I will abolish them." Yu Wenhao pushed the mahjong, "Just remember it orally. Anyway, I remember it. Let me tell you. You also remember that I owe the fourth master four hangings and I owe Lao Leng.
Five hangings, Hongye owes me one hanging."
Hongye made cards with both hands and said coldly: "I owe you what you owe. Why are you saying it so loudly? Isn't it afraid that the whole capital can't hear it?"
Yes, Hong Ye is also a loser. He is extremely talented in everything he does, but he is very good at playing mahjong.
Yu Wenhao said bitterly: "I heard it when I heard it. I am willing to admit defeat. I owe so much and I am not angry."
"Let's talk about it first. Winning or losing is just a game. Anyone who wants to overturn the table will not be allowed to play with him in the future." Fourth Master warned them.
"How is it possible to overturn the table?" Yu Wenhao wiped the sweat from his forehead. Well, there is hope for this round. He should be more cautious.
"Thirty thousand!" I hit a piece, and now I heard the 147 barrel called three flying, and there were two bars, and I was excited.
"Thirty thousand Kong!" The first assistant slowly pushed out three thirty thousand sticks, picked up the ones played by Lao Wu and lined them up together. He stretched out his hand to touch the end of the card and slapped it on the table without waiting for his finger to touch the opening card. "Single hanging unit."
Chicken, what a fool, whoever cheats gets the whole deal."
Lao Wu was so angry that he flew up to heaven and looked at it unwillingly, "Are you trying to make peace? Let me see."
"Read it slowly and pay after you finish it," said the first assistant with a smile.
The fourth master saw Yu Wenhao looking like he wanted to overturn the table, and reminded him: "If the table is overturned, the general will be dismissed."
Yu Wenhao suppressed his anger and withdrew his glaring eyes, "It's all inclusive, six hundred coppers, right? Lao Leng, give me four hundred, and I'll owe you one more coin."
It’s true, at the beginning, I was so proud that I had horse hoof disease, but now I’m so depressed.
