Touring the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 097 [Playing cards with the emperor]

Qian Ning has also heard of Duan Fei, he and Jiang Bin are rivals, and when he saw this, he guessed that Jiang Bin must be behind it, and this Duan Fei changed from a phoenix on a branch to a chicken. Hearing Jiang Bin's answer, he couldn't help being gloomy Sendi smiled and said: "This is interesting. Will Brother Jiang be deceived by others?"

Both Jiang Bin and Qian Ning are righteous sons of Zhengde, and among them, Jiang Bin is favored and given the surname Zhu. He should be called Zhu Bin now, but the three of them traveled in micro-services and each used a pseudonym, so Qian Ning called him Brother Jiang. Call him Jiang Bin.

Seeing that the two started to confront each other again, Zhengde couldn't help frowning slightly, he glanced at Jiang Bin indifferently, turned his head and smiled at Duan Fei: "It seems that we are the servants, didn't you do a good job in Yingtian Mansion? Will you come here? And resign?”

Duan Fei had already calmed down when the three of them exchanged glances. When he heard Zhengde's question, he smiled lightly and said, "I don't know what's going on, but Yingtian suddenly received an order to beat me back to Yangzhou. Yangzhou Tong The official recommendation document for the judge was also returned, so I went back to Baoying to be a small policeman. Baoying was too young and had nothing to do for a month. I simply resigned from the official job and practiced calligraphy at home. I feel angry today. Feeling bored, I ran out to find my former brothers to play cards for entertainment, the three are handsome, they don't look like merchants from the past, could it be that they traveled to Baoyingye hand in hand?"

Zhengde smiled and said: "It's a coincidence, we were going to go fishing in the lake, and suddenly we were a little thirsty, so we went to the county town to find tea and drink. Seeing that the card games you play are a bit different, we stood behind and watched. After a while, I didn't expect to hear a deafening talk, let alone you and I have met before, this is really a coincidence."

"It's fate to meet thousands of miles away..." Duan Fei glanced back at Shi Bin and the others, and chased him away: "Have you guys rested enough? Hurry up and go on patrol!"

"Yes, Brother Fei, let's go." Shi Bin and the others have been with Duan Fei for a long time, and just one look is enough. Chatting, this kind of card game was created by me, and it has become popular in Jiangnan. I asked Daxiang, the largest jeweler in Jiangnan, to customize this deck of cards. They also plan to partner with me to sell a large number of such cards. Woolen cloth."

"Your Excellency, you are welcome. I was just about to ask you how to play this card game." After Zhengde sat down, Jiang Bin and Qian Ning sat on his left and right without any hesitation. This position was just right for Duan Feiyi. On the opposite side of Zhengde, Zhengde looked at the beautifully printed cards in his hand, and said suspiciously: "My surname is Zhu Minglong, Linglong's Long, this is Jiang Ning, and this is Qian Bin. Your Excellency resigned from office and started a business partnership instead? Isn't it the pearl cast in the dark?"

"The future is boundless..." Duan Fei shuffled the cards casually, and said, "This card game is just something I occasionally come up with for entertainment. I am ashamed to say that when I usually have nothing to do, I often create some things by myself. I asked Bao Daxiang to make a magnifying glass, and let them make a telescope. They found it useful, so they discussed with me about co-production. They also said that they would find an opportunity to ask someone to present it to the present day, but they didn’t know about it. How are you doing? I really want to take the imperial examination, but I’m really not good at stereotypes. I’m afraid I won’t pass the exams, and the years will pass and nothing will be achieved.”

"Fearing difficulties is not the work of those who are capable. Mr. Duan still has his head hanging on the beam and his ass is pierced. He should work hard to get a reputation. Maybe there is still a way to be recommended for an official position in this dynasty. Mr. Duan might as well ask someone to try it." Qian Ning smiled. said.

"Playing cards, Brother Qian, don't talk nonsense. You're going to spoil everyone's interest. Mr. Duan will introduce the gameplay of this kind of card game. What are these crooked characters?" Jiang Bin hurriedly interrupted.

Duan Fei spread out the cards in his hand and explained the faces one by one. In his mouth, one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, ten became official positions ranging from no rank to rank nine, plus Marquis, Earl, The Duke, Xiao Wang, and Da Wang formed a deck of playing cards full of Ming features.

"That's not right. How can a first-rank official not be as big as a little marquis? And this little king, the big king, is there something wrong? Who is the little king and who is the big king?" After listening to the rules, Jiang Bin thought Said carelessly.

Duan Fei's heart tightened, and he quickly explained: "This is just a game, it can't be real, otherwise you can call these cards like this..."

Duan Fei told the three people the original version of the cards, Zhengde frowned, and said: "These titles are too difficult to understand, we should be ranked according to the official position, although those with titles have no real power, aren't they also ranked before first-rank officials when offering sacrifices to heaven? The king and the little king are also very good, this time the emperor's personal conquest, isn't it the king who eats the little king? What's the taboo? It's just a game, stop talking nonsense and start playing cards."

With Zhengde's words, Duan Fei's heart finally returned to his stomach, and he explained with a smile: "The current popular game is called double buckle, the dealer needs to buckle six cards at the bottom, and the opponent is an ally... "

When it comes to the fact that the opponents are allies and need to cooperate with each other, Zhengde glanced at Jiang Bin and Qian Ning with a smile, and the two also glanced at each other, and then looked away.

After explaining the cards and rules, Duan Fei shuffled the cards again and started to play double buckle with the emperor.

The trend of the game can be imagined. On the one hand, Duan Fei is experienced and can count cards. On the other hand, Jiang Bin and Qian Ning, the opponents, did not cooperate at all, and they did not dare to play the emperor's card. They only lost It's a mess.

Although Duan Feishun played Zhengde very well, it is not interesting to play such an all-win game for a long time. Zhengde once again got a good hand, and after shaving Qian Ning and Jiang Bin bald, Zhengde laughed and said: "Play like this." Cards are more interesting than playing horse hanging, but unfortunately the two of them cooperate too poorly, and winning is not fun. That's it for today, and we have to go to the lake. I heard that the level of the flood lake is like a mirror. Jinhu, I want to see it."

Duan Fei took the card and stood up, and said with a smile: "The panguang lake is beautiful, and it is really worth a visit. I am the master, how about being a tour guide for the three of you?"

"Tour guide? Well, this term is new. I just wanted to ask for it..." Zhengde laughed loudly, walked over and grabbed Duan Fei's shoulder and said, "What are you waiting for? Hurry up and hurry up."

Duan Fei said with a smile: "I don't think the three of you have any fishing tackle, and you don't have any bamboo hats or coir raincoats to shield you from the sun. Why don't I go and get ready."

Zhengde didn't say that someone had prepared everything earlier, he nodded, and followed Duan Fei to the north out of the county with great interest. He saw Duan Fei borrowing coir raincoats, bamboo hats, fishing tackle, fish baskets and other things from the shops on the street. Cheerfully addressing him as Brother Afei, Zhengde couldn't help but said curiously: "Muto Shihao Village, there are officials arresting people at night. The old man walks over the wall, and the old woman goes out to watch. What's wrong with the official's call, and the woman's cry... Aren't you always hated by people? Why are these bosses so close to you?"

Duan Fei said with a smile: "Du Fu only sees bad officials. Today's son is a sage, and there are still many good officials in the world. I always want to be honest in my work, but I have never done anything wrong, so everyone treats me well." Be polite."

"Really? I'm afraid everyone is afraid of your official authority and dares to be angry but dare not speak up." Jiang Bin rolled his eyes, reached out and grabbed a sturdy man who was passing by, and asked, "Brother, do you recognize me?" Duan Fei, what is this person's reputation? Don't be afraid, I will make the decision for you."
