After being busy with court affairs for a while, Yu Wenhao felt that the close ministers around him seemed to have no other fun except being busy.
This is not acceptable. The so-called balance of work and rest means only focusing on busyness and not just having fun. People are prone to depression and other perversions.
So, he ordered the craftsmen in the palace to carve a mahjong set. He planned to teach them how to play mahjong, and they could talk about anything at the mahjong table.
After retiring from the imperial court that day, he finished his official business in the royal study, and left his brothers alone. He mysteriously said that he wanted to show them something interesting.
Everyone looked at each other, looking uninterested.
Because when the emperor talks about fun things, everyone may not find it fun. His aesthetic views are always weird. For example, he will say that a caterpillar is cute and force everyone to think it is beautiful.
Usually he doesn't like to talk about the emperor's privileges, but in such trivial matters, he is particularly particular about privileges. He has to force everyone's aesthetics to be consistent with his, and he has to show praise and say that the caterpillar is very cute.
In fact, you can still tolerate the cyan caterpillars if you call them cute, but he thinks the black ones are even cuter with fur all over their bodies, and even say that there is personality in the cuteness, which is not very tolerable.
The black caterpillar has a personality and is very cute. What the hell?
After Shofu and Hongye saw the first mahjong piece, it was a rope, three ropes. Shofu sneered, "Isn't this just a horse tag?"
It’s just made into a wooden block shape.”
Yu Wenhao rolled his eyes at him, "What do you know?
There are only forty horse tags, but my mahjong has more than a hundred, and the playing methods are completely different. Don't worry, I will teach you well."
When he said this, Yu Wenhao felt very confident, because he was busy these two days and had no time to play. He still had two days to study.
He has a master. In fact, he consulted his master before making mahjong tiles.
The master is Grandma Yuan. Grandma Yuan said that any older person over there who cannot play mahjong is incomplete.
But in fact, Grandma Yuan was not particularly proficient. It was just that her old friends had learned this skill after they retired and took her to play with them. She was the best at it among their group of people.
But even so, being Lao Wu's master is more than enough.
After two nights of special training, Lao Wu started working with a certificate.
Chief Assistant, Hong Ye, Fourth Master, and him, playing mahjong would not be fun without using some copper coins, and as the current giants of Beitang, it would be difficult to show their identity without coins, so he thought twice about playing mahjong with big coins.
a little.
He asked everyone to bring twenty coins, thinking in his mind, if he played for an hour every night and won all three of their twenty coins, he would win sixty coins in one day. Then, month by month, he would win.
Wouldn’t it add a lot of private money?
On the first day of play, none of the three of them understood, playing cards randomly and showing off their strength. Yu Wenhao was teaching and playing tricks at the same time, and he was as happy as picking up silver for nothing.
After he finished playing, he went back and counted the coins. His hands were so weak that he had won a total of fifty-four coins. He smiled brightly and even tipped a coin to Eunuch Mu Ru, saying: "I will reward you again tomorrow night."
."
Mahjong is indeed fun, and all three of them like it. What kind of game is this?
This is simply a science.
When the first assistant went back in the evening, he wrote an essay on mahjong, saying that when the three are combined, they form, and when divided, they listen. It contains the principles of life and is really a beneficial activity for the body and mind.
But as the big loser tonight, he also wrote a little regret, that is, this knowledge should not be linked to money.
Hongye thought that it would be fun to exchange the money for wine, so that the winner could have a drink and the loser could help pour the wine.
As for the Fourth Master, he was thinking about another issue entirely.
Does mahjong have to be made of wood?
Can't use white jade?
jasper?
Or even if you use wood, you can't use wenge wood?
Sandalwood?
He is also an action person, so he immediately called someone over, selected the materials, and carved a mahjong set out of white jade. As someone who had just played mahjong for one night, he had already written down all the pieces, and could even draw them and hand them over to the craftsman.
artist.
However, he thought about it and felt that wood carving is also good. Master Xu's skills are good, so he can let Master Xu carve one.
Immediately tomorrow morning I went to the workshop to find Master Xu.
Master Xu heard that it was a game card that the emperor wanted to play, and he was very interested. After carefully looking at the sample drawn by the fourth master, he felt that it was relatively simple.
However, as a professional craftsman, she will not allow her works to be featureless.
She promised to deliver the goods in fifteen days, and the emperor would be satisfied after fifteen days.
The Fourth Master was startled, didn't it satisfy him?
