The history of which dynasty invented Mahjong is controversial.
One said it was the Ming Dynasty, the other said it was the Braid Dynasty.
But in Li Qinzai's case, mahjong was invented in the Tang Dynasty, and the inventor was a very remarkable person.
This character has made countless great achievements for the country, running the army and governing the people. While expanding the territory of the empire, he has also not forgotten to contribute to enriching the entertainment life of the people...
Although Li Ji became a man in old age, a man remains a boy until his death, and boys inevitably like to have fun.
The mahjong invented by Li Qinzai just caters to Li Ji's hobby. It is nonsense to re-establish order in chaos. The important thing is that mahjong must be played by four people. The old man finally has someone to accompany him in his retirement life.
Soon, Li Ji, Li Siwen, Li Jingye and Li Qinzai were sitting on four sides of the table.
After Li Qinzai once again explained how to play mahjong to his father and cousin, Li Siwen and Li Jingye seemed to understand, and looked eager to try it.
"I touch my money bag before playing. If you're celebrating the New Year, you can play with money occasionally. Just don't get addicted to it." Li Ji said in a deep voice, stroking his beard.
Li Siwen and Li Jingye obediently touched their money bags and each took out a bunch of copper coins and a few small silver cakes.
Li Qinzai chuckled, looked at Li Siwen and said, "My son is in trouble, dad can lend me some..."
Li Siwen glanced at him coldly: "Get out."
Li Jingye threw half a piece of silver cake over and said with a smile, "I'll lend it to you, cousin."
Li Qinzai was indescribably grateful. It was still the British public ownership structure in the future. Look at his unsatisfactory father, who took a concubine without telling his son, and still dared to be so arrogant...
Three generations of grandparents played mahjong at the same table. Because the three of them were unskilled, Li Qinzai killed everyone in the first few games without showing any martial ethics. He won a lot of money from the three of them. Li Siwen's eyes turned green. If Li Ji hadn't been there, he couldn't afford to lose. He estimated that a big dick would come over.
However, Li Qinzai still underestimated the ancient people, whose IQ was not worse than him at all.
After a few games, the three of them gradually became familiar with the rules, and the wind on the card table suddenly changed.
Li Qinzai was fired again and again, and was robbed again. In the end, he fired all the shots at Li Ji, and with just one shot, he returned all the money he won.
Now Li Qinzai's eyes started to turn green.
I always feel like I have dug a pit for myself, and in the pit is buried his widow...
After Li Ji became familiar with the rules, he was extremely lucky. He could touch whatever he wanted and do whatever he wanted. After two rounds, no matter the action of touching the cards or the boldness of pushing the cards, he no longer looked like a novice. Like a veteran who has been immersed in the hemp world for many years.
He can actually touch blindly with one hand and accurately tell the suit of the card. Can you believe it?
A top person is a top person, no matter what he does, he can excel. Li Ji finally let Li Qinzai see this this time.
After Li Qinzai lost the money that Li Jingye lent him, he realized that the most failed invention he had made since time travel was probably mahjong, which was a trap for him.
The next step is to simply teach the old man to dance in the square, and he is not afraid of not having a dance partner. There are so many famous generals and veterans in Chang'an City, and their wives are still alive. Is it too much to let Li Ji dance a few dances with the wives of his comrades in arms in Paoze?
"Reincarnation Paradise"
Nothing too much at all, just normal social interaction.
It's a good idea, but it's a bit cumbersome...
"I'm being silly again, haha, thirty cash per person, come on, give me the money." Li Ji said with a smile while stroking his beard.
Li Siwen and Li Jingye paid the money honestly and glanced at Li Qinzai resentfully.
Li Qinzai had already lost completely, so naturally he would not make any move to pay.
"Grandpa, my grandson invented this thing. The original intention was to make grandpa happy in old age and to have someone to accompany you to pass the boring time..."
Li Qinzai worked hard to organize his words: "Although it is okay to play with money, it ultimately loses the original intention of a grandson. Grandpa cannot put the cart before the horse. This thing is mainly for entertainment..."
Li Ji stroked his beard and sneered: "I've been talking nonsense for a long time, just because I want to default on my debt."
A penny drove the heroic man to death. Li Qinzai sighed short of breath and said, "My grandson has no money."
"It's not shameful for a man to go back and ask your mother-in-law for money because he is short of money." Li Ji said contemptuously.
"Grandpa forces his grandson to pay off his gambling debt. Isn't this... a little bit beastly?"
"Asshole! Don't force me to whip you during the Chinese New Year."
Li Siwen said sadly from the side: "Father, do it when it's time to do it. Don't worry about the season. The evil beast has been wandering a lot lately and it's time for a beating."
Li Ji glanced at him again and said, "I think you should be beaten more. You have a concubine as old as your son. Ha, it's really embarrassing for Mr. Li."
Li Siwen immediately lowered his head, as well-behaved as a baby in his forties.
Li Ji reached out and touched a mahjong tile, closed his eyes and thought for a moment, then suddenly opened his eyes: "Thirty thousand!"
The card was turned over, and it turned out to be thirty thousand.
Li Qinzai immediately praised: "Grandpa, great work!"
Li Ji snorted and said calmly: "Siwen, your concubine followed you to Chang'an for no reason. What did she have in mind?"
Li Siwen's expression changed, his lips murmured a few times, but he said nothing.
Li Qinzai's eyes widened in surprise, and then he looked in awe.
It’s hard not to accept it. The old man has lived to this age and has become very knowledgeable about the world. He can see through the essence of many things at a glance.
Don't judge people by their appearance. Since Zhao Daoyun entered the Duke's Mansion, he has been cautious in his behavior, speaking and doing things in a humble manner, always looking at other people's faces.
But Li Ji's views coincided with Li Qinzai's.
Yes, she secretly followed her all the way from Runzhou to Chang'an. What on earth was she thinking? Don't talk about being deeply in love or infatuated. The people here are all adults, not ignorant and passionate young men.
In Li Ji's eyes, Zhao Daoyun's little scheming could be seen through at a glance. For parents of wealthy families, this is called irresponsible and should be guarded against.
The atmosphere suddenly became a little awkward.
Li Jingye looked at his grandfather, then at his second uncle Li Siwen, and found that it was difficult for a junior to interrupt in this topic, so he smoothed things over and said, "Grandpa, second uncle, continue playing cards."
Li Ji stopped continuing the topic and said with a smile: "Okay, okay, let's continue playing cards."
Li Qinzai pushed the mahjong set in front of him, turned to look at the sky outside the house, and murmured: "Hey, I seem to hear my mother calling me to eat..."
Under the unkind gazes of the three people, Li Qinzai got up bravely and walked away muttering.
…………
On New Year's Eve, the whole family reunites.
This year, God is particularly fond of the Li family. When Li Qinzai created the Divine Arm Bow, everyone in the court said that the Li family had a Qilin. This year, the Qilin finally took off before his eyes.
From then on, from Li Ji down, Li Qinzai could be regarded as an important branch of the Li family and had a separate house, paving the way for the spread of the Li family.
In a happy year, it’s time to show off.
