Chapter 455 Playing Mahjong

The phoenix tree has long been in the courtyard, and the winter noon is not always cloudy and cold.Occasionally, there is also sunshine, just like today.

In this not-so-warm but bright sunlight, two resolute old men and two young men with crown-like faces sat opposite each other, wrapped in fine furs, drinking a drink from a graceful, lightly made-up woman. The spirits brought over are enjoying themselves... playing mahjong? !
I saw four people pushing and pulling, eating and playing. When base the cards, there was a swift and fierce conquest on the battlefield; when playing cards, there was gentleness and warmth; At that time, there will be more sentient beings.But no matter how you cover it up, the winners are generally cheerful and humble, while the losers pay with a sad face but still pretend to smile and congratulate the winners.

These four people were none other than Ma Chao, Guo Jia, Tian Feng, and Huangfusong, and the woman who was pouring wine for fun and watching with great interest was naturally the eldest princess Di of Hanyang, Liu Xiu.

After the wedding, Ma Chao had nothing to do—Han Sui was still recuperating in Ma's mansion, and the matter of the imperial examination was also in the works of the Zhongshu Province. After picking up his two senior prisoners, he got up and slipped to the backyard.It happened that Tian Feng and Guo Jia came to visit the mansion, so this scene happened.

"Meng Qi, for the imperial examination, the examination must be held, right?" Huangfusong touched a tube, seeing that it was useless, he typed it out casually.

"Touch!" Ma Chao said without raising his head, "It should have been two days. The efficiency of the Ministry of Education is too low. The smart one is dishonest, and the honest one, it's really hard to plan the whole plan by himself." Some are too busy."

"One tube!" Guo Jia played another tube, and looked at Ma Chao's frustration and asked: "My dear brother, do you really want to promote this imperial examination in Fufeng?"

Guo Jia called Ma Chaoxian brother, not just a kind of politeness.But because these days, Ma Chao and Guo Jia got along very well, and they felt a sense of sympathy for each other.Guo Jia is open-minded and bohemian by nature, while Ma Chao is a time traveler, and he is even more insulated from those shackles of ethics.

In addition, Guo Jia came to Fufeng, although he used the banner of Hexi, but in fact he was relying on Fufeng, and everyone knew his purpose.And Ma Chao is very fond of Guo Jia, wishing they could hang out together every day.As a result, a vassal who doesn't care about trifles meets a top strategist who is both ambitious and capable, and in just a few days, the spark of love...friendship is quickly sparked!Now that Guo Jia is older, Ma Chao considers himself his younger brother and must respect him as his elder brother.And Guo Jia thought to himself that he was already a guest of Cao Cao, so how could he make friends with people from other forces at will?So resolutely refuse.It's just that Ma Chao insisted on addressing him that way, and Guo Jia gradually got used to it.No, today I started to call Ma Chao a 'good brother'.

"Of course, after planning for so long, it's not just for fun." Ma Chao glanced at Tian Feng who seemed to be playing cards seriously but actually listened attentively, curled his lips, and continued: "Brother, Hetian, don't drive back. Afterwards, Yuan Shao and Cao Cao can also be allowed to mess around, and in this way, at least it can give the poor people a way."

"General Ma doesn't need to run against someone," Tian Feng sighed, then played a discarded card, and said: "The general also knows that my lord will definitely not do this, so why bother to worry this old man?"

"Oh? Why?" When it was Huangfusong's turn, he saw that Ma Chao and Guo Jia were both smiling without saying a word, so he asked Tian Feng with great interest.

"My lord comes from a famous family, and his name is Tuya. He likes to win over famous people to gain a strong reputation. The imperial examination is contrary to what the lord likes, so he will naturally not agree." After Tian Feng explained to Huangfusong, he raised his eyes and glanced at Guo. Jia, continued: "Perhaps Mr. Cao can agree. If you abandon Yuan and join Cao, I am afraid that Mr. Cao likes to follow the advice?"

Unexpectedly, Guo Jia shook his head, then turned to look at Ma Chao and said, "In the whole world, I am afraid that only Yongzhou can implement this imperial examination. The other princes either scoff at it or hold a wait-and-see attitude, but they will not easily succeed follow in the footsteps of my younger brother."

"Everyone, can you speak more clearly? Although I have read some books later, you are so clouded. I really don't understand." Before Ma Chao's card, Huangfusong became a little anxious.

"Old general, it's not that the two of them didn't speak clearly, but because they eat their food, naturally they can't speak ill of others." Ma Chao touched a good card, and after playing a bad card, he happened to be one-stop listening to the cards. He was in a good mood, He opened his mouth and said, "Yuan Shao and Cao Cao are both from well-known families. Well...Of course, the old Yuan's family is better than the old Cao's. But it is undeniable that if they want to develop, they must enclose the support of the gentry. And the imperial examination The system just cut off the absolute dominant position of the gentry in the officialdom, so it is impossible for them to implement the imperial examination system. Therefore, Tian Biejia made some excuses that Yuan Shao liked, but he couldn't tell you the real reason... "

Hearing what Ma Chao said so bluntly, Tian Feng couldn't help but smile bitterly.Especially when this was in front of two staff members of his family and two 'captives', Tian Feng, who was upright and conservative, felt that Ma Chao was playing a card out of common sense, so he played a card casually and said: "General Ma really speaks quickly, Tian is in admiration for being open and upright."

"Wait, don't admire me anymore, let me go!" Ma Chao picked up the three barrels Tian Feng shot, yelled loudly, and then said cheerfully to Tian Feng: "Don't drive Tian, ​​you are too honest and upright!" If my guess is correct, even if you know the reason in your heart, you will probably advise Yuan Shao after returning to Jizhou, right?"

Tian Feng originally looked depressed after losing the card, but after hearing what Ma Chao said, he replied with a serious face: "The salary of Shigong is naturally a matter of loyalty to the duke. Tian is appreciated by Yuan Gong, so he should try his best to persuade him." My lord, because of this, I will live up to..."

"Stop, this is your strength, but it's also your weakness. To be honest, I like your personality very much, but Yuan Shao doesn't necessarily like it. So, I'm just talking about it, and you can listen to it or not." Ma Chao He raised his hand, smiled, and continued, "Biejia Tian, ​​you brought a total of 190 Wen when you came. In the previous seven rounds, you had already lost 32 and [-] Wen. But in this round, I want to charge you [-] Wen. That is to say, you have no money..."

After hearing Ma Chao's preface, Tian Feng couldn't help showing a look of depression and sadness on his face.But then he stretched out his hand to take out his sleeve robe, and found that there was only six coins left on him, so he couldn't help but take a high look at Ma Chao's talent again.But this mahjong was infinitely mysterious, and Tian Feng was in high spirits, so naturally he didn't want to end it, so he frowned and did something he had never done in his life: borrow money.

"Feng Xiao, you and I have worked together for one master, so it's fate, how about borrowing thirty coins from me?" The reason why Tian Feng didn't look for Ma Chao was because he was embarrassed, after all, he was the one who fired Ma Chao's gun.The reason for not looking for Huangfusong is because there are not many of Huangfusong's two hundred essays left.

To be honest, among these people, which one really takes these dozens of articles seriously?Playing mahjong is nothing more than trying to communicate easily, and Guo Jia is a straightforward person. He directly divided the money in front of him into two halves and handed it to Tian Feng.Then the clacking sound of shuffling the cards began to ring out again.

But just as the cards were laid, Bu Zhi and Yang Fu came in with a stack of thick papers.Bu Zhi directly knelt down and said, "Teacher, the students have listed the detailed rules of the imperial examination according to the outline you gave." Yang Fu waited for Bu Zhi to finish speaking, and then said: "My lord, I have reviewed it for three days. The "Imperial Examination" is astounding. The detailed rules are detailed and orderly, and they are listed in a proper way. The subordinates are bold, and I hope that the Lord will transfer Bu Zhi to the door to help someone..."

"Huh?" Ma Chao became interested now—Fazheng asked Bu Zhi by name, and someone as thin-skinned as Yang Fu also asked for someone.This step, it seems that he is quite capable—but, his face became bitter immediately, and he pointed to the thick paper and said: "You won't tell me, these are the detailed rules of the imperial examination, right?"

The two looked at each other and nodded at the same time.But Ma Chao picked up the five baht money he had won, and cried to the two of them, "Thanks for your hard work, the money was won by your master's exhaustion of wisdom. You should buy something to make up for it first..."
