Chapter 16 There is something about this bamboo card
"Ah? Drawings, what kind of drawings? Father is talking about the paper in Uncle Du's hand? That Sizi has some!!"
"Wait for Sizi to look for you, eh! Wait, father, after I help you find the blueprints, shouldn't you fulfill your promise and take Sizi to play?!"
Little Sizi holds her hands just above her lips, her eyes burning with anticipation.
"Ahem, yes, yes, don't worry Sizi, my father will take you to see fish today. You and Kuan'er used to like fishing. If you want, my father can also accompany you fishing."
Li Shimin thought to himself that his second son liked fishing, and sometimes he would not attend family dinners just to go fishing. Maybe the secret was in the fishing.
"Hehe, okay, then Sizi will help Uncle Du find the blueprints!!"
Satisfied, Xiao Sizi took out his treasure bag and started rummaging around.
She hasn't thrown away those drawings yet. Her original intention was to let Li Shimin play with her before throwing them away. Now she can just transfer them to others without having to throw things away herself.
Searching through the treasure bag...
Li Shimin took a quick glance and thought that this treasure bag is really big enough. Hey, wait a minute!!
Through the corner of his eye, he saw something strange. It was a box of square bamboo slices, stacked together and beautifully shaped.
In one of them, the number 9 is carved on the bamboo slices, which is in the shape of a plum blossom.
"Sizi, what is that."
My daughter, Xiao Sizi, attaches great importance to the treasure bag. In the past, Guanyin maid tried to take it away secretly. When Xiao Sizi found out, she burst into tears on the spot. She hated Guanyin maid that day and refused to eat that night, but she was so worried.
Bad.
So Li Shimin used his fingers.
"Ah? This is it."
Xiao Sizi took out a thick rectangular piece of bamboo, which was just the size of her palm.
"Father, these are the bamboo cards given to Sizi by my second brother. He said they were originally called playing cards, but he was afraid that Sizi would be too stupid to remember them, so he called them bamboo cards."
"Bamboo sign?" Li Shimin was slightly stunned, "What is this? My father thought that its shape was quite exquisite. Compared with the silk and satin in the palace, the luxurious clothes were not far behind. Kuan'er... your second brother, why did he spend so much money?
The price to do this weird thing?!"
It usually takes several months to embroider one of the luxurious clothes on the market today.
The main reason is that carving on the clothes takes too much effort, which can take as little as one month or as long as half a year.
The dragon robe he is wearing now took two years and more than 600 embroiderers to complete.
It's so time-consuming, laborious, and costly for people and money. Why did Kuan'er spend it on this bamboo card?!
Are you too idle? A playboy?!
If it is his previous impression, Li Shimin thinks this is for sure. This traitor only knows how to idle around all day long, spend a lot of gold and silver, and it is possible to throw it into the water.
And now...
If you still think so, Li Shimin thinks he is a fool.
Kuan'er definitely has his own intentions!!
It’s just that I don’t know.
Li Shimin is very determined.
"This is for relieving boredom. There are fifty-four bamboo cards in total, with numbers from 1 to 10, and four patterns: hearts, spades, clubs, and diamonds."
"In addition, there are three symbols created by the second brother, J, Q, K, which are also divided into four patterns, as well as two red kings and black kings, for a total of fifty-four bamboo cards."
I saw that Li Shimin was confused after hearing this.
Xiao Sizi raised his lips lightly and proudly supported his back with both hands, "Hehe, how about it, Father, my second brother is so awesome, he can create bamboo cards."
Li Shimin rubbed his head, "Then, what's the use of this bamboo sign?!"
"It can be used to relieve boredom."
"Second brother said there is a game that is suitable for three people. It's called Landlord Landlord. Uncle Du is here today. Father, why don't we play this game? It's very fun."
Li Shimin hesitated, "This..."
"Oh, let's play, let's play, it's really fun. Father believes in Sizi and also believes in second brother."
Xiao Sizi shook Li Shimin's hands coquettishly.
"This... well, my father only agreed to you because he is looking for a valuable treasure for the Tang Dynasty today. Sizi, please don't think that your father also wants to play."
Li Shimin reminded him, and then asked Du Chuke to come over.
Du Chuke was afraid to step forward.
In fact, compared to ordinary monarchs and ministers, the relationship between Du Chuke and Li Shimin is very good.
He was promoted by Li Shimin. Unlike the nobles such as Changsun Wuji and Fang Xuanling, he was from a poor family. Li Shimin invested a lot in him, so Du Chuke was not shy about many things.
Du Chuke himself was a little panicked.
As the saying goes, accompanying a king is like accompanying a tiger.
Now he just wants to quickly get back the Luban Lock blueprint and then leave.
"Your Majesty, I am afraid that I am not suitable to be with you and the little princess..."
"Du Shangshu, if you want to get the Luban Lock blueprint, play the so-called landlord fight with me."
Li Shimin interrupted directly.
The emperor said so, and Du Chuke had no choice but to obey.
Soon.
Xiao Sizi explained the rules, and the two guys who stood at the pinnacle of power quickly understood the rules of the game.
Dealing of cards begins.
There are a total of seventeen cards for each person, and three are reserved for the landlord.
"Ah, three threes, three fours, what a small number of cards."
Xiao Sizi was a little depressed, and immediately said, "Uncle Du, do you want to call me landlord? It starts with you."
"This..."
Du Chuke looked at his four 2's and the big and small kings, and thought about it before giving up the landlord.
"Father, it's your turn."
Li Shimin looked at the cards in his hand and found that there were almost no usable cards. 3456 was missing a 7, 7788 was missing a 9, and all were missing arms and legs.
It’s a difficult card, but isn’t it exactly the same as his current situation?!
"I want it!!"
Li Shimin picked up the three landlord cards.
"3!"
"Ah, why is my father so friendly at the beginning? That Si Zi has an A!!"
Li Shimin:......
"Sizi, come out."
"Hehe, okay, *3 3's, 3 4's, bringing two!!"
"No."
"."
"No."
"JJQQK......"
Xiao Sizi played his cards one by one and blocked Li Shimin directly.
For the first time, Li Shimin felt the malice from his daughter.
Next,
The second game, the third game, the fourth game...
Throughout the whole process, Du Chuke did not dare to play cards. He did not rob the landlord, but the number of cards he played was just to feed the two father and daughter. The victory or defeat depended on the performance of Li Shimin and Xiaosizi and his daughter.
As for Li Shimin's war so far, whether it's the farmers' side or the landlord's side, they're almost at odds.
Xiaosiziba, he is two.
An hour later.
"Wow, it's so late. Father, Sizi is going to have dinner with his mother, so we won't play anymore."
Xiao Sizi stretched out.
Children are active, but have poor endurance. Little Sizi is already feeling tired.
"Come again, come again, one more, just one."
Li Shimin's pupils were a little red, like a gambler who lost his money, but soon he reacted and coughed, "Ahem, okay, Sizi, go quickly, I believe your mother is already waiting, don't let me
