Otaku Engineer in Great Tang Dynasty

: No. 1162 Leaf play, fight against bandits!

"Fighting bandits? Cousin, how do you fight this?"

At the Yunshan Courtyard, Ye Fashan looked at the pieces of wood chips slightly thicker than the paper cut by Li Zexuan, and was puzzled, so he frowned and asked.

"Haha! Everything has a predestined method. Of course, there are rules for fighting bandits! The law is good for you and wait a while, when I cut fifty-four wooden cards, I will tell you the rules!"

Li Zexuan responded while showcasing his knife.

The yellow-white linden wood is like a piece of tofu in his hand. He can easily cut it and shape it at will. There are already four or five wooden tiles of exactly the same size and thickness on the ground!

Seeing Li Zexuan selling Guanzi again, Ye Fashan pursed his mouth very speechlessly.

As time passed, about two quarters later, there were more and more yellow and white wooden signs on the ground, Ye Fashan suddenly thought of something, and he said: "Cousin, do you want to move Ye Zixi to the wooden sign? Up?"

Li Zexuan couldn't help but froze, Ye Zixi? What is this? He hadn't heard of it in the previous life, and there is no memory of this body!

(This can’t be blamed on him, because his predecessor went to Longhushan to study art at a very young age. He might be familiar with the classics of the family, but he knows very little about the scriptures, history and literature.

"Fashan, what is a leaf play?"

Li Zexuan thought for a while but didn't understand, so he asked.

"Uh! Cousin, you don't even know Ye Zi Opera?"

Now it was Ye Fashan's turn to be stunned. In his impression, his cousin should be the kind of peerless wise man who knew astronomy and geography, how could he not know the Ye Zi Opera?

When the "little cousin" looked at him like this, Li Zexuan's face blushed, and he was a little embarrassed and said: "As the so-called wise man is concerned, there must be a mistake. Some things are normal if your cousin doesn't know it! Fashan, please say it!

Ye Fashan slandered in his heart: A wise man must have a mistake. It seems that this sentence is not used like that?

Although he thought this way, his original intention was not to make Li Zexuan embarrassed, so he explained: "According to legend, when the Qin Dynasty was fighting between Chu and Han, General Han Xin invented a card game to ease the soldiers' homesickness. Because the card surface is only the size of a leaf, it is called a leaf play.

The playing method of the leaf play is very simple. The cards are drawn from the back and the cards are turned over. When the cards are not shown, they will be deducted as hidden cards, so that no one can see them; after the leaves are released, they will be put upside down, and the fighters will calculate the undisclosed cards from the exposed cards to perform competition. "

After listening to Li Zexuan, he was very surprised, because the gameplay of this leaf play is very similar to modern playing cards! He thought that playing cards were the patent of Westerners, but now it seems that he underestimated the wisdom of the ancients! He is sure that Western poker cards definitely borrowed from ancient Chinese leaf play!

In fact, it is true. Western playing cards have the shadow of the leaf play in both the gameplay and the form. According to most scholars in later generations, poker cards evolved on the basis of the leaf play!

Speaking of the Ye Zi Opera, I have to mention one person, Queen Li’s Queen of the Great Zhou Dynasty. This is the real master of the Ye Zi Opera in history. He has written the first volume of "Xi Meng Xiao Ye Ge" and "The Partial Golden Leaf Ge". Volume, the volume of "Little Leaf Cases", unfortunately have been lost.

However, the Ye Zi Opera was really popular in the Song Dynasty. From the literati, the dignitaries, the dignitaries, and the common people, they all enjoyed the game! In the early Tang Dynasty, the Ye Zi Opera was not popular yet!

"Hey! I didn't see it, Fashan, you know a lot when you are young!"

Li Zexuan joked with a smile.

In fact, he was lamenting that Ye Fashan was really a good seedling, and he was proficient in everything, such as literature, science, arithmetic, and astronomy. If he came to Yanhuang Academy for further study, he would definitely become a banner figure of the next generation of engineering! It's just a pity that this little cousin aims to travel around the world and save the people of the world!

"Compared with my cousin, Fashan is far behind~!"

Ye Fashan humbled his hands.

Li Zexuan smiled without saying a word, and continued to cut wooden signs at the dock!

After about a quarter of an hour, all the fifty-four wooden plaques were finally cut off. Li Zexuan polished the corners of the wooden plaques on the sandstone to make them round and uncut, and let Xiaohe and Xiaoxi bring pen, ink and cinnabar. He wrote patterns and numbers on each card. After everything was done, he sighed for a long time. It happened that Han Yuxi came back from the outside, and he hurriedly greeted: "Lady! Come and come! Just one person is missing, we Come fight the bandits!"

"Fighting bandits? Xianggong, where are bandits in our house?"

Han Yuxi looked around, wondering.

"Haha! This bandit is not the other bandit! Come here, lady! Today I will teach you how to fight bandits, and I promise you will want to play after you have played it again!"

Li Zexuan burst out laughing.

Han Yuxi walked over suspiciously, and Li Zexuan called Ye Fashan, pointed to the number on the wooden sign, and said: "Miss, Fashan, look, every card has a number, the third is the smallest, and the order is..."

It only took half a quarter of an hour for Han Yuxi and Ye Fashan to understand the rules of fighting the landlords, er, no, it was the rules of fighting the bandits. Li Zexuan rationalized the wooden sign in his hand and smiled: "Okay! You all understand the basic rules. , As it is said that you can’t swim while standing on the shore to learn, just play it first, you will understand it completely after you experience it!"

"Hmm!"

Han Yuxi nodded ~www.ltnovel.com~ Some eager to try, she thinks this bandit fight seems to be more interesting than the Ye Zi Opera!

Ye Fashan pursed his mouth, did not show excitement, nor refused.

The three took the cards in order. It was Ye Fashan’s landlord (bandit). Ye Fashan glanced at the cards in his hand, frowned, and said, "No!"

If you put your hands together, the tip is the biggest, he called a fart!

Li Zexuan was Ye Fashan's next home, and at this time he smiled and said, "Hey! Call a bandit!"

After all, he grabbed a seven on the hole card, plus a pair of kings.

"Haha! Super doubled!"

Li Zexuan smiled proudly.

"Cousin, what is super doubling?"

Ye Fashan was puzzled. When he talked about the rules earlier, he didn't say this!

Li Zexuan explained: "Uh, for example, if I have one round and one penny, if I double it super, that would be four pennies in one round. If I win, each of you will give me four pennies. If there is a bomb, a bomb will be doubled on this basis, understand?"

"Oh!"

The two nodded, and Li Zexuan asked, "Then you two will double?"

"do not add!"

In the face of such aggressive Li Zexuan, both of them shook their heads.

"Three, four, five, six, seven, eight, ninety!"

Li Zexuan started to throw a straight, and the seven in the bottom card of the secret path is very important!

Han Yuxi: "...Don't!"

Ye Fashan: "Five, six, seven, eight, ninety hook circles!"

"Hey! Okay! Bomb! (four k

"No!"

"Three belts and one pair!"

"Three two with one pair!"
