It should be said that Hong Lucheng's theory is of great practical significance.
If a person's brand is very good, his character will not be much different.
He really is "as stupid as he is".
A ready example is Lao Su next door.
Hong Yanwu invited him to play cards, and he came as soon as he was invited, which was very refreshing and free.
This is in sharp contrast to some common pretentious people on the "hematan".
The defining characteristic of this kind of person is that he particularly likes to build chastity memorials for himself in advance.
Probably to gain goodwill when you win money, and also to make the other party feel embarrassed when you lose money.
This is what they always say when they receive an invitation.
"Oh, I don't really want to play."
Even at the last moment when sitting on the hemp table, he often has to twist his butt to pretend to be tall.
"Actually, I really don't want to play at all."
Then he rushed towards Mahjong like a very hungry person seeing bread.
This bad habit is very widespread. So when encountering this situation, the most effective way to deal with it is to play hard to get.
Don't belabor it, be sure to express it openly.
"Then I'll find someone else."
In this way, the other party's true colors will be revealed.
However, there are always some extremely shameless people who can say even words like "please beg me two more times".
If you are not careful, you will be disgusted again.
As for the actual playing of cards, the test of human nature is even more comprehensive.
When the wind is favorable, it is a common problem for many people to be happy and joyful.
Facing the adversity on the Ma table, most people are not as exaggerated as in the cross talk "Theory of Playing Cards", and they can turn Hongzhong into a blank slate.
But in reality, it is indeed easy to expose one's own character weaknesses.
Some people feel like they are mourning for their heirs, some feel like they are facing a formidable enemy, some people criticize the trees and trees, some people criticize the sky and the earth, some people can't hide their frustration, some people feel guilty and timid...
There are even people who, when playing the dangerous card, will hold it in their hands for a long time and ask trembling questions.
"Er Tong...is there anyone with you?"
If someone really wanted to make peace at this moment, the person would probably say, "I didn't say I wanted to fight," and then take it back.
To use a Beijing dialect, it is "enough to be a chicken thief".
But on the surface it looks like you're taking advantage, but in reality that's not necessarily the case.
When this person is complacent, he would never have imagined that his indecisiveness, timidity and cowardice have become deeply rooted in people's hearts.
As long as people have experienced his brand, it will be difficult for them to have the desire to work with him again.
Of course, some people may think this is irrelevant, because everyone is a layman and has such problems to one degree or another.
As the saying goes, "Hua Yazi eats fat meat", no matter who is "fat".
Besides, since it's just for fun, why should we be so serious? Relaxation and happiness come first.
It doesn't hurt to expose your dark side. There is really no need to be a gentleman and have a strong playing style.
Originally, Hong Yanwu had always thought so.
But just today, after he accompanied his parents and Old Soda to play cards this time, he didn't think so.
Because he discovered that if people's quality reaches a certain standard, playing mahjong can really break away from the secular realm and become an extremely elegant and interesting game.
It's not comparable to a bunch of common people getting together and holding back all the money in other people's pockets.
Let’s look at it first.
Just because Mr. and Mrs. Hong, Lu and Cheng have been playing cards all their lives, Lao Su also used to be the master of mansions and residences.
Hong Yanwu knew how to play cards with them and would definitely not "overturn the tie".
It must be about the "fan" or "mouth" style of play.
But even if he was mentally prepared, when Wang Yunlin went to the card table to talk about the rules.
The number of varieties introduced was still far beyond his expectation.
Because that’s just too much!
What is lacking is not eaten, the front door is clear, peaceful, seven pairs are broken, nineteen are broken, thirteen is not relied on, and there are flowers on the bars.
What else is wrong, cut off one door, listen only, two or eight generals, happy to meet, four return to one, bump forward and backward, catch the five chiefs, one dragon, mixed one color, clear one color, one color word, one green color, big three yuan
, the great four joys, the big wheel, nine consecutive lanterns, the peacock flying southeast, southeast, northwest, a little red among the green...
Ouch! There are many "talkers" that Hong Yanwu has never heard of.
If we really want to complete the discussion, there will be eighty-one types.
So before the fight actually started, Hong Yanwu first had the feeling that all his cards were in vain and that he was actually a frog in the well.
But that's not all.
Because in addition to several regular chapters of the Eight Classics, the older generation actually had some special regulations, which he had heard about.
For example, no draw is allowed below three times, otherwise it will be considered a bluff.
For another example, the dice rolled by the dealer must be recovered before the next player draws the card, otherwise he will be fined.
There are also people who say "touch" if you don't touch, you will be fined.
If you call the wrong card, you will be fined.
Regret the card and pay a fine.
Sir, fine me.
Before going to play cards, if you grab the cards first, you will be fined.
If you hit him halfway, you will be told that you are "tired" and you will be fined.
If you don't complete four rounds and want to leave, you will be fined the same...
All in all, there were so many rules and restrictions that Hong Yanwu couldn't help but feel dizzy.
He even became suspicious, thinking that it wasn't his parents and Lao Su who had reached a tacit understanding. Was he deliberately teasing himself?
But on the other hand, such rules also tap into the potential of wisdom and contain a variety of combinations.
When you really play it, the more twists and turns the process has, the more interesting it will be. The happiness will actually increase exponentially, and it will become a lot of fun.
For example, in such an environment, where no one likes to eat or drink, the possibility of becoming a big name will of course increase dramatically.
No matter who wins, it must be a difficult and beautiful hand.
The card surface alone shows a harmonious and balanced beauty, like a set of elegant screens.
In addition, for the same reason, the time for a hand of cards also becomes longer.
This gives everyone a rhythmic, methodical and elegant attitude when playing and grabbing cards.
Even the closer you get to the end, the more it arouses people's excitement and makes you feel an exciting expectation.
This kind of feeling cannot be given by "push it down and make peace".
That thing is very fast to fight. As long as you can gather four pairs, you can win.
So, shuffle the cards, stack the cards, eat the cards, touch the cards, and tie the cards, all over again.
Luck crowds out wisdom, haste replaces leisure, is in a hurry, and is so chaotic that it is impossible to appreciate and judge the good and the bad.
To be honest, God paid off for his hard work. In the second lap, Hong Yanwu finally made a draw.
It's still a luxurious pair that can capture the top five.
He has played mahjong so many times, but he has only played this kind of tiles once.
He knows very well that only by playing this way can he achieve this state.
While feeling emotional, I felt relieved from the inside out.
But the most interesting part is actually not the big names, but the additional penalty rules.
Because on the surface, whoever commits a foul will have to put the fine in the center of the card circle, and it will eventually go to the winner.
But there is still a considerable variable here.
That is, those who must get a draw card must first pick up the fine before showing their cards after saying "draw", otherwise they will be punished twice.
So it was lively now.
Sometimes several people in a row forget to take out the cards and add money one by one. The total amount will double cumulatively, which is a considerable amount.
Everyone is inevitably watching with eager eyes.
But surprisingly, the more you do this, the easier it is to forget, and the interest naturally doubles.
So even when he first started, Hong Yanwu was not used to such new regulations.
He was always fined for violating regulations one after another, which made him very unhappy.
Do as the Romans do at home, and you can only reluctantly follow them.
But gradually I tasted the sweetness and became endlessly happy with it.
I began to recognize from the bottom of my heart the "mahjong art" of my parents' generation.
Needless to say, such a game will inevitably lead to many dramatic turns.
It didn't take long for the happy laughter and wonderful twists to attract the children of the Hong family.
So at some point, the number of people sitting in front of the TV began to decrease.
On the contrary, everyone was very interested and put their emotions into the poker table.
While the bystanders were applauding and laughing while watching the battle, they also began to enthusiastically invite people at the table to explain the game and teach how to play.
According to Hong Yanwu's observation, most of his relatives have almost shown the tendency of "boarding a pirate ship" at this time.
The most amazing thing is that before the four rounds of cards were played, Hong Lucheng unexpectedly took out a dollar and slapped it on the table.
Shouting, "No, no, no, I'm tired! Who among you can take my place?"
This immediately caused a roar of laughter.
In the end, it was Xu Manli who took up the position with the encouragement of the old man's promise to give her guidance.
Soon, Hong Yanwu followed suit and elected Shui Qing as his replacement.
As a result, no one paid much attention to the second half of this Spring Festival Gala.
Except for the performances of Yu Wanyu and Yang Weifan, everyone was staring straight at the card table.
After four rounds of cards, Lao Su won more than ten yuan and went home. His seat was then handed over to Hong Yanru.
Since then, the card table has become the world of Hongmen female generals.
Although the difficulty has been reduced and it has truly become a "push over and make peace", it still allows the eight hands to relax and the four mouths to be relaxed and happy.
It can be said that the atmosphere in the Hong family has completely returned to the time before television.
The last thing I want to say is that playing mahjong is really not in vain.
Because everyone in the Hong family has not just seen it and played it, they can all get some inspiration from it.
For example, my sister-in-law said at the table, "It's strange to say it. We asked ourselves, none of us are people who love money as much as life, and we are not stingy when it comes to family and friends. Why do we all become so miserable when we get to the card table?
Are you too greedy?"
Everyone is happy to hear this.
Then Hong Yanru said, "Sister-in-law, in my opinion, the money won at the card table is extraordinary, because it 'shows the true character of a hero'. What kind of game, if the winning results are not fully displayed, it will be meaningless. You
Look, even if I usually give you ten yuan and only win you a dime at the poker table, it is extremely satisfying. Because what you put in your pocket is not only money, but also a confirmed sign of 'victory'."
Everyone said they were right. But Shui Qing had a different experience and added.
"In my opinion, it's not just about loot, but also reasonable rules. Clear rewards and punishments, as well as difficulty, are the key. Loot gives the game a competitive goal, and rules create the fun of the game. If in life, the unit
I'm afraid it will be the same here. Meeting the challenges of life and work, proving one's worth and getting reasonable rewards at the same time, this is the driving force for people to continue to forge ahead."
After saying this, while everyone was savoring it, it also touched Hong Yanwen's nerves.
He is more like a philosopher, expressing his own observations and experiences.
"People often say that 'chess is like life'. Now when I see you playing cards, mahjong is more like life. Because playing chess mainly relies on skills and very little luck. Mahjong relies on both luck and skills."
"Look, in life, who can achieve success based on talent alone like playing chess? No matter how good your skills in playing mahjong are, if your luck is not good, there will be times when you can't draw a draw. This is not like many talented people.
Is it like a capable person who has poor opportunities and is finally buried?"
"However, the excitement of good luck, the regret of bad luck, the anxiety of waiting for the opportunity, the consideration of whether to use one's wits to seize the opportunity when it comes, and the joy of finally winning, are rich emotions that must be experienced. This bitter taste,
It can be said to be a simplified and condensed version of the joys and sorrows of life.”
"So, I think the process of mahjong is also the process of people pursuing self-fulfillment. One sand, one world, one tree, one bodhi, just like a portrayal of life. No wonder my parents have such a good mentality. If you play more cards like this, you will naturally be able to
Become a person who understands things and has a peaceful mind.”
By now the whole family was laughing together.
Seeing the happiness in his parents' eyes, Hong Yanwu felt resigned to his second brother's level of flattery.
I thought that educated people would flatter me, but there would be no trace of it.
