Emperor Chu's expression condensed and he was horrified. He couldn't help but wonder if Nangong Xi had noticed something. After all, he got the mahjong from the system supermarket.
"Your Majesty, did this mahjong come from the Western Continent?"
After hearing what Nangong Xi said, Emperor Chu wanted to say that mahjong came from the Western Continent, but when he thought that Yang Yuhuan came from the Western Continent, he had to give up.
"Xi'er, I got this mahjong from Yi Xianyun Yehe, an expert from this world. The fun in it is extremely mysterious. I believe you will all like it."
In fact, mahjong tiles developed and evolved from the horse tags and playing cards that were popular in the late Ming Dynasty. At the same time, there is another theory about the origin of mahjong.
When Zheng He sailed to the West in the Ming Dynasty, there was no entertainment equipment on the ship. The soldiers on the ship could only throw dice and gamble as a pastime. However, during the long voyage, the soldiers were tired of it. Some soldiers were often homesick and even tried to rebel.
Yes, Zheng He killed them. In order to stabilize the morale of the army, Zheng He invented an entertainment tool.
Zheng He used playing cards, teeth cards, Pai Gow, etc. as the basis, and used more than 100 small wood chips as the cards, compiled them according to the fleet, and carved "bars" respectively, and then carved barrels (tubes) respectively based on the number of fresh water barrels loaded on the ship. Then
According to the wind direction, the four wind directions of "east, west, south, north" were engraved, and "ten thousand" was engraved with attractive money.
Then, with the slogan of "Greater China Shining Soldiers in Foreign Lands", a red "中" was engraved, and then four flower cards were carved according to the four seasons of the year. Finally, there was a card that I didn't know what to carve on, so I didn't carve anything. This is
"blank slate".
But no matter where Mahjong came from, it has become one of the most popular entertainment facilities in Emperor Chu's memory. It is simple, easy to use, and endless fun.
During the conversation.
Emperor Chu opened the box containing mahjong in his hand and poured it on the table. The dice and mahjong were displayed. The girls stretched out their jade hands to pick it up, hold it in their hands and play with it.
"Your Majesty, what kind of material is this mahjong made of? It is round and smooth. Could it be made of fine jade?"
"........."
After hearing what Fei Ling'er said, Emperor Chu didn't know how to explain it. In fact, the mahjong in front of him was just suppressed by crystal. However, because there were no impurities and the color was bright, all the girls thought it was made of raw jade.
"Your Majesty, mahjong is so small, how should you play it? You won't hold it in your hand and play it like my concubine!"
"Xi'er, Daji, Ling'er, and Feiyan, the four of you sit down and I will start to tell you how to play mahjong!"
Emperor Chu raised his hand to signal the four girls to sit down, looked at the other girls, and began to explain to him how to entertain Mahjong. After spending an hour, the four girls Nangong Xi had mastered the skills and started playing the game with ease.
All the girls were envious. Only four people could play mahjong in a mahjong table. Nangong Xi and the four girls played several rounds, but they all got up without finishing the game.
Having fun alone does not allow everyone to enjoy it, so four women were replaced. They were also inextricably killed. On one side, Emperor Chu was impressed by their memory. They were so terrifying that they accepted new things without any hindrance.
"Xi'er, Feiyan, Daji, and Ling'er, you have been staying in the palace. How about I take you to the city tonight?"
"Your Majesty, as long as the ladies are staying in Ningxiang Palace, I'd better not leave. I'll let Sister Bingluo go out of the palace to play with Your Majesty."
Nangong Xi decided to stay with the girls. If Emperor Chu took them out of the palace, he was afraid that others would complain a little.
"good!"
"Although Mahjong is fun, don't play too late. Tomorrow the officials will enter the palace with their families, and the concubines must not look tired."
In history, the first day of the Lunar New Year was the beginning of the new year. The emperor would bathe and change clothes when he was a child or when he was ugly. At dawn, all civil and military officials gathered in the Square of the Hall of Supreme Harmony to pay New Year greetings to the emperor.
At Chen time, the officials of the Qin Tianjian announced that the time had come, the bells and drums on the Meridian Gate rang, the band played music, the emperor ascended the throne of the Hall of Supreme Harmony, the Luan Yiwei officials whipped their quiet whips, and the salute officers shouted "Scheduling".
All the officials lined up and knelt down according to their rank. At this time, two bachelors knelt down to hold the congratulatory form. The official announced the order and read it out. After reading, all the officials knelt three times and kowtowed nine times.
After the ceremony, the emperor offered a seat and tea, and all the officials kowtowed to express their gratitude. After the tea, the firecrackers went off again, the band played again, the emperor went down to the palace, and all the officials also exited the hall one by one. The New Year ceremony came to an end.
At this moment, midnight had long passed, and Emperor Chu went out to visit the palace just to see how lively Chang'an City was during the New Year's Day.
First of all, the Hundred Festival Year, Emperor Chu wanted to see the sea rejoicing and the people of all ethnic groups gathering together. Today, hundreds of officials will enter the palace to pay their respects, and they cannot stay alone for too long when leaving the palace.
.....................
Covered in white snow, Chang'an City is shrouded in lights.
On the street, Emperor Chu appeared with his four daughters. Han Bingluo only appeared once in Chang'an City after entering the palace, and that was when the enemy forces of the Devouring Heaven Empire attacked the city.
As for Daji, Zhao Feiyan was just a passerby and had never really traveled to Chang'an, including Fei Ling'er. Nowadays, the four girls are wearing long robes, with their black silk stockings dotted with snowflakes, like fairies emerging from the earth, becoming more and more radiant under the light of the lights.
.
But there was fear on their faces, especially Fei Ling'er. She couldn't believe that the city in front of her was still the Beast Imperial City in the past?
The city is criss-crossed, crowded with people, towering pavilions reaching into the sky, numerous restaurants, and long streets that stretch endlessly as far as the eye can see.
Emperor Chu ordered Jiang Shang to start building the city. The current Chang'an City will be at least three times larger than the Beast Emperor City, and it will definitely be regarded as the largest city in the War Continent.
There is a saying in the poem: The palace is closed and opened by the Nine Heavens, and the clothes and hats of all nations worship the crown. It describes the city of Chang'an in the prosperous Tang Dynasty in history.
Chang'an, where Emperor Chu is now, is no weaker than Chang'an in ancient times. Even if this poem is used to describe it, it is completely consistent.
Although it has passed midnight, the enthusiasm of the people has not diminished at all. The long street is bustling with traffic, juggling, acrobatics, lion dancing, and hawking.
Emperor Chu led four girls across the long central street. Along the way, the girls were completely immersed in the strange and strange objects. The current Chang'an City can be regarded as a great fusion of the Chu Kingdom.
Brown candies and duck eggs from Yangzhou, exotic utensils and beautiful women from Loulan, and fine beef and mutton from Mongolia.
With all kinds of delicacies, wonderfully crafted items, and dazzling people from foreign lands, Chang'an City is really all-encompassing.
Emperor Chu not only thought that the sea is open to all rivers, but the city of Chang'an has indeed achieved this. People from all over the country live in harmony in the city.
"Mr. Sir, there are a lot of people in front and it's so lively. Should we go and see it together?"
Fei Ling'er turned around and returned, holding Emperor Chu's arm, very intimately, and said coquettishly.
"............"
Everyone is curious. People like to watch the excitement at any time and go wherever there are many people.
"Feiyan, Daji, Bingluo, the three of you, please follow closely, don't get lost in the crowd!"
Fei Ling'er pulled Emperor Chu forward and saw him looking back and shouting to the three girls behind him. Emperor Chu also didn't expect that taking the four girls out for shopping would be so tiring.
I really can’t afford to be hurt when a woman goes shopping. (To be continued)
