Chapter 409

Thinking of this, he couldn't hold back, and felt envious of his mother-in-law and princess.

Immediately, this emotion was quickly suppressed.

It takes his hard work as a son and a husband to make the mother and wife live so relaxed and comfortable all the time.

After talking about playing mahjong, everyone is not interested in dinner.

After a while, several people put the bowls one after another and went to the small table to wait.

As soon as the imperial concubine gave the order, the maid brought the mahjong.

The happy time soon began.

"Speaking of which, during this period of time, the two most discussed matters in the upper circles of Kyoto were actually caused by Lin Dong's family." Rubbing mahjong, the imperial concubine suddenly spoke up.

Everyone was puzzled and looked at the imperial concubine.

"It's mahjong and sausage bacon!" The imperial concubine immediately said.

Then he looked at King Anyang.

"Since you sent me this mahjong, I was taught by someone. I found some poker friends and often played poker in the bedroom."

"And guess what?"

The King of Anyang was puzzled.

Seeing Concubine Shu snickering aside, she stared blankly at her mother concubine, "What's wrong?"

"It was learned by them, and they even found someone to make mahjong by themselves, and even spread it out of the palace." The imperial concubine laughed.

"Now, the noble ladies and ladies in Kyoto like to play mahjong very much. There are very few who can't."

"I heard—hehe—" The imperial concubine suddenly smiled and covered her mouth.

"I heard that the ministers in the DPRK also played cards."

"When your father was in court before, I met a minister, because I was dragged by my female family the night before, and I played cards too late. When I went to court the next day, I almost fell because I was so sleepy. "

King Anyang was also amused.

"Hehe, Erchen also heard about this."

"I heard that because of mahjong, it is not only the minister who affects the rest. For this reason, the father seems to have made a special trip to warn the ministers, so that everyone should be wary of playing things and lose their minds."

"Pfft—" The imperial concubine couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Seeing his son looking at him suspiciously, he smiled and said, "Your father is too embarrassed to talk about others."

"When he first learned to play mahjong, his condition was not much better than those of the ministers."

The King of Anyang was surprised.

The imperial concubine looked at Concubine Shu with a look of "If you don't believe me, ask your Aunt Yue".

When Concubine Shu saw the imperial concubine mentioning Emperor Yan, her originally smiling face suddenly restrained her smile.

Not long ago, the emperor did come to the imperial concubine often. But he didn't come here to stay overnight, but to play mahjong.

That's not right, playing mahjong is actually secondary, but to test her.

She could feel that the emperor intended to repair the relationship with her.

It was just that he couldn't help himself, so he found the imperial concubine as a middleman, and found such an opportunity.

It's a pity, no matter if he is true or false, she can't go back with him.

Since the accident at the Great General's palace, her thoughts about the emperor have stopped.

She is unwilling to take any more risk, even a little risk, to put her family in danger because of herself.

Therefore, after discovering the accident, she did not play cards in the imperial concubine's palace for a while.

Even later, in the face of the imperial concubine's active invitation, she also pushed it.

Later, the imperial concubine took the initiative to come to the door and said that the emperor did not go to her palace again, and she resumed walking with the imperial concubine.

When the imperial concubine saw that Concubine Shu's expression was different, she hurriedly made a speech that seemed to be wrong.

"Ouch, look at me, I said the wrong thing again! Draw a card and draw a card!" He said quickly.

Immediately, the topic was quickly changed.

Indeed she was wrong.

In this situation, Concubine Shu, it is strange that she can go back with the emperor.

Back then, Concubine Shu entered the palace and favored the harem.

The concubines and concubines of the harem, who would not envy them?

Even her, the old man who has followed the emperor since the emperor became the prince, doesn't she feel sore in her heart?

But in the end, the emperor also took action on the so beloved Concubine Shu.

He wiped out Concubine Shu's mother clan, and even he and Concubine Shu's son were not spared.

From that day on, she also understood.

Your Majesty, that's a heartless...

Therefore, she also put down the last bit of unwillingness in her heart and put it down.

Man, can't be trusted. Emperor, even more unreliable.

Only her son was born to her. Always be with her.

Concubine Shu was silent for a while, and then quickly recovered her emotions under the constant questioning of Anyang Wang and Anyang Princess.

The game finally got lively.

the next day.

After Lin Xiaoyue washed up and had breakfast, she went to the bamboo garden on time.

At this time in the bamboo garden, could it be that Liang Chengcai and the sixth princess had already arrived.

Seeing Lin Xiaoyue's arrival, Liu Wuji did not delay any longer.

After everyone was seated, the class began.

"This morning, the main purpose is to tell you about the rules of tomorrow's game. And to introduce the origin of the Chu Jin messenger this time."

Everyone kept quiet and looked at Liu Wuji seriously.

Liu Wuji then continued to speak.

"The rules of the game are simple."

"There are two games up and down, one in the morning and one in the afternoon."

"From 1:00 to noon, it is playing. From late afternoon to 1:00, it is ending, and it lasts for two hours."

"On the field, Dayan is the attacking party. It is up to you to come forward and answer the arithmetic question raised by the envoys of Chu Jin. In the end, the opposite is true."

"There are ten questions in total."

"If you answer a question correctly, you will get one point. At the same time, you can only see the next question after you answer the previous question correctly or ask to give up the question."

"Note that discarded questions have no points and cannot be answered again."

Lin Xiaoyue and the others looked at each other with serious expressions on their faces.

Two hours, that is, four hours, to answer ten questions.

On average, the time to answer each question is twenty-four minutes.

But the problem must be difficult or easy, and the time to solve some problems is probably far more than 24 minutes.

If you strictly follow this time to decide whether to pass the question or not, it is not scientific.

Liu Wuji looked at Lin Xiaoyue.

"The old man's suggestion is to take a quarter of an hour as the boundary. If you find that there is no way to solve the problem after a quarter of an hour, you can choose to pass the problem."

"Of course, after a quarter of an hour, if you feel there is still hope, you can extend the time to two quarters of an hour."

"But if two quarters of an hour later, you still haven't figured out the answer. In any case, you have to give up. To avoid influence, the answering time of the question will be given later."

Lin Xiaoyue nodded.

The rest of the people nodded in agreement.

It is necessary to set such rules in advance to avoid problems on the spot.

Seeing this, Liu Wuji continued, "This is the first half of the game."

"After the game, no matter what the situation is, the emperor and Dayan will invite the messengers of Chu Jin and you."

"Regardless of the outcome of the game, you must keep your mind steady."

Then, Liu Wuji said again: "Actually, here, what you can do is basically the same."

Lin Xiaoyue and others looked puzzled.

"Because in the second half of the game, you basically don't need to contribute any more. All you have to do is to help show the questions that Dayan gave to the Chu Jin messenger."

"Since the Three Kingdoms made peace, Chu Jin has added a request for this arithmetic competition. The emperor has actually started to arrange it a long time ago."

"Therefore, in the second half, Dayan, as the defender, doesn't need you to worry about any questions to be asked."

"This afternoon, all you have to do is to come here with the old man and select ten questions from hundreds of questions as exam questions."

Everyone was surprised, and then they felt that everything was reasonable.

Then, it was a lot easier.

They don't have to ask questions, and the pressure is reduced by half.

Seeing everyone's expressions, Liu Wuji raised a smile on his face.

"Next, let me introduce to you the messenger that Chu Jin came over this time..."

Then, Liu Wuji told everyone about the situation of the Chu Jin envoy.

It turned out that this time Chu and Jin also sent three people to compete with them.

Among them, there is one from the state of Chu and two from the state of Jin.

There were two people from the state of Jin, not because the state of the state of Jin was stronger than that of the state of Chu, but because the two envoys of the state of Jin were in the relationship of master and apprentice, and the one who was the master was not as famous as Liu Wuji.

"Xu Yan has always been arrogant and arrogant. Before, despite the three invitations from the Jin royal family, he never came out."

"But this time... the old man is also a little surprised, he actually agreed to send the ambassador Dayan." Liu Wuji said with a frown.

When he was young, he followed his master and visited Xu Yan's master. I have been with Xu Yan for a while.

At that time, Xu Yan showed great talent.

Whether it is Wen Tao or Wu Lue, they are extremely strong. Even compared to him, it's not on par.
