Hey, with Wang Yunlin, Hong Yanwu would feel completely different when he looked at this mahjong set again.
He found that the slightly yellowish milky white medal body had dark lines, and the texture was indeed like ivory.
The carvings on the cards are also really exquisite, and the colors are light and elegant, which is pleasing to the eye.
Especially the whiteboard, which is nothing like the current cards, with a straight and tacky green rectangular border.
This one in his hand is so beautiful.
It has thin, blue cloud hooks engraved on the four corners, like a miniature tablecloth.
The feel is also excellent.
You can feel the moisturizing effect when you wash, scratch, touch or hit it.
Generally speaking, although the workmanship is not as good as the royal mahjong in the palace, the material is not as good as the jade mahjong that "Sister Agou" left to "Tang Xin'er".
But this deck of cards can still be regarded as rare and high-quality, and it is still a good thing that can be encountered but not seen.
I think it must have been the beloved object of its owner back then.
Hong Yanwu knew very well that if he really missed it, he would probably let some port take away the advantage.
If it could fall into his hands, it would be a blessing.
Hey, look, the house is filled with gold and jade, and longevity and longevity!
Just look at the words on the flower card, which is auspicious!
Hong Yanwu himself was so beautiful that everyone else in the Hong family felt surprised and confused.
Everyone wants to know, why does this thing... have such a name?
Looking at the looks on everyone's face, it was obvious that they all thought of "Erba-chan".
This made Wang Yunlin laugh heartily, and she explained it carefully to her children.
According to what the old man said, this mahjong tile was an improved card game based on the "Yi Zi Opera" by a man named Wan Bingyu in the Ming Dynasty.
Because this person admired Shi Naian's Liangshan heroes very much, he used the thirty-six Tiangang and the seventy-two Disha as the base numbers of the mahjong tiles to metaphorically represent the one hundred and eight generals.
The reason why mahjong is divided into ten thousand, cakes and strips is the homophony of his own name "Wan Bingtuo".
As for the wind signs east, south, west and north that were added later, they express the meaning that heroes gather from all directions to Liangshan.
The words "hair" and "white" in the arrows indicate that these heroes come from all walks of life, rich and poor.
Then, with the addition of various flower cards, the entire deck reached one hundred and forty-four.
Compared with other forms of dominoes, the biggest advantage of Mahjong is not only that four people can participate at the same time, but also that the game rules are very flexible.
Its basic gameplay is simple and easy to use, and you can win money purely by luck.
It can also become more complex and interesting by placing more demands on game rules, increasing the technical content of playing cards and the gap between winning and losing.
So everyone from the imperial court to the common people loved him.
Officials and wealthy people can socialize through this kind of game.
Ordinary people can also use it to entertain themselves and pass the time during the farm break.
It can be said that mahjong truly achieves the goal of catering to both refined and popular tastes...
As Wang Yunlin slowly told the story, the attitudes of the Hong family also showed two differences.
The children were more curious because of Water Margin.
Hong Jun and Xiaoying couldn't help but stand by the table and reached out to touch it.
Without any effort, the two of them recognized the "Nine Patterns of Dragon History" and "Double Whips Hu Yanzhuo" in the cards through Wang Yunlin's inspiration just now.
Then I started trying to stand up one by one and started looking for other "Liangshan heroes".
But at the same time, the adults looked hesitant and a little uncomfortable.
In the end, it was Hong Yanzheng who became the eldest brother. He couldn't bear his temper and acted as the leader, and broke through the window paper.
"Mom, this...this thing is really used to win money? If you say so, then...isn't it gambling? Why are you still playing this? We can't keep this thing in our family, and you shouldn't do it either.
If you touch it, don’t look back and call the police again.”
Then he turned his head and actually used Hong Yanwu's hair.
"Third brother, you are so good. How did you get this thing for mom? You are so filial, and you are so filial!"
Then he pinched Hong Jun's neck and scolded him as if he was squeezing his penis.
"Put it down, let it go! Can you learn a little bit?"
Hong Yanzheng has a straight temper, he says whatever comes to his mind, and he is not polite to his son.
Just such a blatant intervention made the atmosphere suddenly awkward.
Shui Xiaoying was also a little frightened and quickly hid behind Shui Qing.
Wang Yunlin was a little angry.
But the old lady was calm, and she would not bang the table and glare in front of so many family members.
That would lose your identity and make the atmosphere worse.
She had her own way, and she typed a few words calmly, which immediately made the eldest son ashamed and speechless.
"Boss, do you still remember what happened when you were a child? In 1949, the army besieged the city. Your father went to Hong Kong and couldn't come back, and my mother and I were trapped in the capital and couldn't make it. At that time, all the industries in the city were depressed, and there was a shortage of food. There was only one wotou.
I need a gold ring in exchange for it. Apart from your cousin’s frequent donations, what do we live on? Isn’t it just the money I win by playing small cards every day?”
"No matter what, mom didn't let you go hungry because of the kind of gambling you mentioned. So whoever said this should not be you. Yes, you understand the truth, but why don't you know how to adapt to the situation?
How about adapting to the situation? Besides, your mother is not an old fool yet. This is home again, so don’t be like a medicine bucket that explodes when you touch it, okay?"
But at this time, seeing the eldest son being embarrassed and being taught a lesson, the eldest daughter-in-law also looked a little embarrassed.
Hong Lucheng came from the side to smooth things over.
First, he rushed to Wang Yunlin.
"Okay, okay, New Year's Eve, don't feel bad about this. You still don't know what your son's temper is? You often say it yourself, he is neither deaf nor blind, and he is not worthy of being the head of the family."
Then let’s talk about Hong Yanzheng.
"Boss, please be careful with your words in the future, especially on days like this. I know what you are worried about, but there are many things you don't understand. Some things are not as simple as you think."
"Now you know that mahjong tiles are gambling equipment, but you don't know that this is also a social method that your grandfather requires us, the descendants of the Hong family, to master. Because no matter whether you are talking about business or doing anything, you have to contact people. In the past,
When you meet someone you are not familiar with, the best way to make contact is to play a few rounds of cards first."
"Why? Because playing mahjong can relax the atmosphere, and it also involves economic interests. In this way, a person's humanity, mind and city can be clearly seen at the card table. This is the fastest way to get to know strangers. After playing a game
By circling the cards, you can immediately know whether the person on the other side is greedy for small things, impatient or not impatient, calculating or not, and whether it is worth contacting him again."
"So things are dead, and the key is how people use them. To put it bluntly, opium is a drug. If used in the right place, it can also be a life-saving drug. For people who only want to make money by playing mahjong, what kind of thing
It can be used for gambling. But for your mother and me, this mahjong is not a bad thing, but a good helper in interpersonal relationships."
"We can't even talk about it now. It's just fun for the family to enjoy. It's more purely a fun way to spice up life."
After saying this, everyone suddenly realized, and each of them had some new experiences in his heart.
And Hong Yanwu quickly agreed, taking pictures of his father first and then his mother.
The performance was spot on and everyone wanted to see Mom's poker skills.
So the little embarrassment just now passed.
But this time another difficulty arose.
Those who know how to play cards are Hong Lucheng, Wang Yunlin and Hong Yanwu.
Fortunately, Hong Yanwu had the idea. He had an idea and suggested asking Lao Su Lai from next door.
As for Wang Yunlin, she was worried about disturbing Lao Su from watching TV and delaying her pick-up of Yu Wanyu.
Hong Yanwu also said that it does not exist at all.
Because I was watching TV while playing cards, I set up a table in this room and watched while playing, without delaying anything.
Don't worry about picking someone up, he has already arranged it.
When he went there, he asked Bian Jiangong to drive him.
When he came back, he also agreed to let Yang Weifan help bring it back, so that Lao Su didn't have to worry at all.
