Space takes me to ancient times

Chapter 156 The Birth of Mahjong

"Feng Ling is a golden phoenix, not a monster." Qu You sighed lightly, and began to make up a story. "At the beginning, the Goddess Linghui lost his soul in order to save the common people in the world. Then, the goddess was very angry and demoted the fairy master and Feng Ling who guarded Linghui to the earth together, and asked them to go through ninety-nine and eighty-one tribulations to gather the souls of the Goddess Linghui and bring them back to the world. Only after the immortal is revived can he return to the heaven." Qu You was speechless while talking, this story is so familiar, it has gone through 81 ordeals, 81 ordeals.Hey, the more I say it, the more it feels like Journey to the West.

Qu You coughed, picked up the teacup to hide her embarrassment.

"Yes, is that so?" Grandma Qu secretly glanced at Feng Ling.

"That Feng Ling is so pitiful." Qu Xiao looked at Feng Ling with pity.

"D-Of course it's pitiful." Qu You nodded.

Feng Ling stared blankly at the scene in front of her, not understanding why the Qu family, who were so angry at her just now, suddenly accepted her.Not only was he not afraid of her anymore, but he looked at her with pity one by one.

"Feng Ling, tell your aunt what you want during the Chinese New Year." Such a poor child, Hu thought.

"Look at how skinny this girl is. Later on, Auntie will make some delicious food and make up for you." Cheng's face was full of kindness.

skinny.

Qu You looked at Feng Ling's obviously baby-fat face, as if a flock of crows were in his mind, croaking...flying up and down.

After dinner, the female relatives began to make dumplings. This year is different from previous years. There are several kinds of dumplings, but the colors are different.Qian's and Liu's hands are very skillful. This year's dumpling skins are not only made of white flour, but also green from spinach juice, yellow from pumpkin, and pink from amaranth juice.The female relatives laughed and said while bagging, regardless of size, the scene was extremely lively.

Taking advantage of the time when everyone was making dumplings, Mu Qianhun took people to the back mountain, under the pretense of exchanging martial arts, but in fact he secretly passed on Qu You's orders to Qianyi, Qianji and the others.

"Xiaoyou, if you have something to do, go and do it." Wang chatted and worked without delay.

"Ah, mother, you should be busy first." Qu You smiled awkwardly, and walked out with Feng Ling and the others.

In the hall, Mrs. Wang, Mrs. Cheng and others were making dumplings, while Qu Dongsheng was drinking tea while playing chess with the gentlemen in the academy.But Grandpa Qu, Uncle Qu and the others who had nothing to do could not help, so they could only sit and drink tea. After drinking a few cups of tea, the toilet suddenly ran.

"Hey, grandpa, what's the matter." Qu You watched Grandpa Qu running to the toilet again and again, worry appeared on his face.

"It's okay, it's okay, just have a few more cups of tea." Grandpa Qu waved his hand awkwardly.

Uh……

Is this nothing to do?Qu You had an idea, and suddenly remembered a good friend of modern Chinese New Year.

"Lingyou, go to the back mountain and call Mu Qianhun and the others back to me." Qu You's character of saying that it's wind or rain has broken again.

"Master, let me go. I can fly fast..." Feng Ling stepped forward with a smile.

You fly, fly.Qu You looked at Feng Ling with a dark face, and waved her hand to forcefully push her big face away.

"I'm afraid you will be roasted and eaten before you fly there." Qu You said angrily.

Feng Ling: "..."

Lingyou Qinggong is very good, and after a few ups and downs, he reached the back mountain.

"Who..." Lingyou's toes had just landed on the ground when they were discovered by everyone in Jinyi Pavilion.

"It's me." Lingyou walked over with a calm expression.

"Lingyou." Lingxun stepped forward.

"The leader is here." Lingyou asked.

"You're not guarding Miss, what are you doing here?" Ling Xun frowned.

"This doesn't seem like something you should ask." Lingyou smiled sarcastically, and walked around Lingxun to Mu Qianhun and others in the distance.

Hmph... What's so amazing, isn't it just that he can please and behave in front of the lady.Ling Xun looked at Ling You's back with hatred, and gritted his silver teeth.

"Boss." Lingyou walked up to Mu Qianhun and knelt down on one knee.

"You..." Mu Qianhun narrowed his eyes, his eyes were dim and unclear.

"Miss told me to call you and the leader of the hundred billion, and let you return home quickly." Lingyou stood up and raised her head proudly.

No wonder this girl dared to leave her post without authorization, it turned out that she came here with orders.Mu Qianhun suddenly smiled, and waved to stop the training personnel on the school field.

"Lingyou, you've been by Miss's side for not a day or two, why don't you need me to pay you when you're on duty." Mu Qianhun gave Lingyou a meaningful look, turned around and called Qianyi, and then returned to Qufu.

Oops, I forgot that there is no one around Miss who knows martial arts.Lingyou bit her tongue secretly, her heart skipping a beat.

When Mu Qianhun and others returned to Qu Zhai, Qu You was squatting on the ground playing with bluestones. Stones of different sizes and lengths were placed in a pile, like a child playing with building blocks, which looked childlike. full.

"Hey, Thousand Souls come quickly." Qu You raised his head and waved.

"Miss, are you planning to build a house?" Mu Qianhun smiled.

"What kind of house to build?" Qu You glared at him, lowered his head and continued to fiddle with it.

"What is this?" Qianyi took a piece.

"Mahjong."

What... The two looked at her in surprise, not knowing what this mahjong was.

"For what purpose?" Chibi asked.

"Gambling."

Gambling, Mu Qianhun's eyes flashed, and a thought suddenly came to his mind.

"Miss, how about opening a casino in the next year?"

"Open a casino?" Qu You looked up.

Ah, Bai Yi immediately understood the meaning of Mu Qianhun's words, "Brothhouses, Chuguan, casinos and teahouses have been the source of all news since ancient times."

"You mean..." Qu You understood immediately.

"Yes, we are not only in the business of killing people, but also in the business of selling news." Mu Qianhun nodded.

OK, let's do it.

After the goal was clarified, several people began to carve according to the blueprint drawn by Qu You.Wind from southeast to northwest, white in the middle, after a while, the 130 and six mahjong tiles were placed neatly in front of everyone.

"Go, go back to the room, I'll tell you how to fight." Qu You clapped his hands, with a sense of accomplishment on his face.

When everyone returned to the house, the female relatives were still rolling out dumplings, Qu Dongsheng's chess opponent had changed, and Grandpa Qu was still sitting on the chair drinking cups of tea.

"Grandpa, don't drink, I'll give you something fun." Qu You smiled mysteriously.

"What?" The eyes of everyone in the room were attracted.

"It's called mahjong, and it was invented by the master." The little Fengling stepped forward to show off.

Mahjong?Everyone gathered around and looked at the long, rectangular stone on the table.

"Xiaoyou, teach grandpa how to play." Grandpa Qu said impatiently.

"Mahjong is a very interesting recreational activity. It can develop intelligence in the early stage, and can treat Alzheimer's disease, memory loss and many other diseases in the later stage." Qu You said proudly about the benefits of mahjong.

Develop intelligence, treat memory loss.What is so miraculous that the female family members of the Qu family who were making dumplings couldn't help being attracted to it.

"Mahjong needs four people to play, one person holds the dice, plays the dice, and determines the dealer..." Qu You patiently explained the gameplay and how to play to everyone, and when she finished speaking, Grandpa Qu and the others couldn't wait to sit down.

"Old man, this is a thing for women to play with. You should go to the side and watch." Mrs. Han slowly approached Grandpa Qu.

"Go, go, it's Chinese New Year, don't hurry up and make dumplings." Grandpa Qu kept waving and chasing Grandma Qu.

The old couple on this side were arguing endlessly, and the young couples on the other side were also red-faced and refused to give in to each other.Qu You supported his head, yawning boredly.In the end, I couldn't bear it any longer, so I pointed at three people casually, and this mahjong was considered to be a game.

"Touch." Grandpa Qu typed a card of [-] yuan, and Bie Quyou turned over.

"Five barrels." Qu You looked around secretly, then threw a card casually.

"Nah, give me the money." Grandma Qu smiled, and stretched out her hands to collect the money.

It's really a bad start, the mahjong teacher was actually cleaned up by the apprentice.Qu You gritted his teeth secretly, vowing to win the money.

"Eat." As soon as the first card was typed in the second lap, Qu You made a good start.

"bump."

"bump."

"bump."

After touching it three times in a row, Qu You cried as he looked at the few cards in his hand.

"Xiaoyou, why don't you play cards?" Grandma Qu urged.

I figured it out then, but I lost my card.Qu You held the only three cards in his hand and tossed them back and forth.

"Oh, you little girl, you are almost as young as an old man like me." Grandpa Qu shouted anxiously.

Let's fight... Qu You gritted his teeth and threw out a card.

"Fuck, give money, give money." Grandma Qu played again.

Everyone: "..."

"Ahem, you have already learned it." Qu You pretended to stand up.

"I have learned, I have learned." The crowd of onlookers nodded unconsciously.

"Okay, change." Before Qu You opened his mouth, Qu Dongsheng, who was beside him, had already sat down at the table eagerly.

Qu You looked at everyone's eagerness to try in silence, then turned around and reached for the taels on the table.

"Snapped……"

As soon as Qu You's right hand touched the silver, he was slapped hard.

Eh, what's the matter?Qu You looked at Qu Dongsheng in surprise.

"Leave the money, you can go." Qu Dongsheng said calmly.

"Silver, keep the silver." This nima is his own father, and he actually exploited his own daughter.

"Yes." Qu Dongsheng nodded seriously.

"Father, I wish you win money." Qu You endured the pain in his heart, and forcefully squeezed a few words through his teeth.

"Okay, good girl, dad must not tell you about your lack of cards just now."

"Pfft..." Qu You sprayed out the tea just as soon as it reached his mouth.

"Alright, alright, hurry up and get busy." Everyone stepped forward to surround the mahjong table, pushing Qu You out from the front row in a daze.

A big gamble hurts the body, but a small gamble makes you happy.A little gamble...

After Qu You quietly read a few words, she winked at Qian Yi and the others who were also outside, and the master and servant quietly exited the hall.

"Let's go, take advantage of the Chinese New Year to make a few more pictures, and after the year, you will bring them to Jiang Country and Bai Country, and open the casino." Qu You suddenly became confident when he saw the bustling scene in the house.

"Miss will come with us after the year?" Qian Yi asked.

"No, after the next year I will go to Baiguo first, and open a shop there as a temporary base for Jinyi Pavilion." Qu You shook his head.

"Then Jiang Guo..." Qian Yi hesitated to speak.

"Qianyi, I believe in you." Qu You stopped, looking at Qianyi with burning eyes.

"Qianyi will do his best to live up to Miss's expectations." Qianyi knelt down on one knee.

Qu You suddenly smiled, turned around and continued walking towards the back house.

Luoning, Chengqian Hall.

After the palace banquet was over, Chu Yu and King Yan Chu Xu walked out side by side, and Princess Yan Jiang trotted behind them.

"Princess, please slow down." The maid Zi Yan looked at Jiang Shi with distress.

"Slow down, how can you slow down. Didn't you see that the prince didn't wait for me at all?" Jiang Shi smiled sadly.

"My lord is really, he regards Prince Rui as more important than your empress." Another maid Ziyun complained.

"Shut up." Jiang yelled.

"Ziyun, be careful with your mouth, if the prince overhears, even the concubine can't keep you." Ziyan raised her brows and gave Ziyun a dark look.

Ziyun quietly looked around, stuck out her tongue in fear, "Who told him not to cherish miss."

"You still said..." Jiang raised her hand angrily and twisted Ziyun.

In pain, Ziyun shrank her neck, unable to lift her aching arm.

"You dare to talk too much." Ziyan rescued Ziyun from Jiang's grasp without any trace.

"Don't dare." Ziyun lowered his head, a flash of resentment flashed in his eyes.

As Chu Yu and Chu Xu walked, they talked about the situation, and as they talked, the topic extended to Qu You.

"I heard that Jinyu Mantang is very popular recently, and many people have gone to Luoning because of its fame." Chu Xu tentatively tested Chu Yu.

"Well, 2 taels of silver." Chu Yu nodded.

What, 2 taels a month?Chu Xu opened his eyes wide, looking at Chu Yu in disbelief.

"You're talking about it once." Chu Xu stretched out his hand to pick his ears, afraid that he might hear it wrong.

"Last month's profit was [-]." Chu Yu stopped and said word by word.

This old 2% gets [-] silver, and the Naqu family gets [-]% more.Chu Xu took a deep breath, and looked at Qu You dazzledly again in his heart.The stinky girl is too good at making money, she easily earns [-] taels a month, isn't she richer than the national treasury in that year.

"Qu You promised this king that he will drive Jinyumantang to Luoning." Chu Xu looked at Chu Yu proudly.

Chi... Chu Yu sneered silently.

"Why, don't you believe it?" Chu Xu was not convinced.

"Did you pull out Luo Ning's hidden stake? Did you kill the fourth brother's informant? Did you find out who was behind the murder of the old man?" The cold and cold Chu Yu suddenly became aggressive.

Hey, I really can't mention Qu You, or Lao Jiu Lima will tear you apart.Chu Xu was startled, patted his chest with a frightened expression.

"We are a pure relationship between men and women." Chu Xu emphasized.

"Impure, do you think you can still stand in front of me?" Chu Yu gave a disdainful glance, turned around and led him away.

What do you mean.Chu Xu stood there looking at Chu Yu's back, and couldn't help laughing out loud.The thousand-year-old iron tree has also blossomed, it seems that he doesn't need to worry about getting a wife.

Qu’s New Year’s Eve was spent in the sound of mahjong. In the first grade of junior high school, we played mahjong; in the second grade of junior high school, we played mahjong;At the end of the fight, Qu You couldn't take it anymore, and stepped forward to confiscate the mahjong vigorously, and everyone returned to the normal world as if they had just woken up from a dream.

On the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, Baiyi set off with a series of gambling equipment such as mahjong.On the seventh day of the lunar new year, Qu You followed Qianji and Qianchun into the carriage to Baiguo.Daughter Zhang is so old and has never traveled far. Although there are servants following her now, Mrs. Wang is still worried.She looked at Qu You with tears in her eyes, and insisted on taking Lingyou and Mu Qianhun with her.Qu You can't beat the Wang family, so it's better to change the plan and disguise the people in Jinyi Pavilion as a caravan for purchasing medicinal materials.

"Miss, the journey is long. If we feel unwell, we will return immediately." Mu Qianhun looked worriedly at Qu You who was motion sick.

"No, it will get better slowly." The bumps along the way made Qu You vomit, and almost vomited all the gall.

Feng Ling gently stroked Qu You's back with her small hands, hoping that she would feel better.

"Water..." Qu You held his forehead uncomfortable.

Huan Shan stepped forward to feed Qu You's saliva, and Dai Rou twisted a warm towel and applied it to her forehead.

"Miss, are you feeling better?" the girls asked distressedly.

"It's okay, it's just that I'm not used to it for a while." Qu You gritted his teeth fiercely, holding back the urge to vomit in his stomach.

Phew... Qianji, who was driving outside, stopped suddenly.

"Miss, wait a moment, the subordinate will be right back."

Qu You lifted the curtain of the car weakly, looked at Qian Ji's running figure, and couldn't help but smile, "Why, he has a urgency to urinate." Taking a breath of fresh air, his stomach felt much better.

Not long after Qianji ran out, he hurriedly returned to the carriage.

"Miss put this under the nose, and the symptoms will be relieved immediately." Qianji reached out and handed over a handful of grass.

What is this, weeds?Qu You looked at the ugly withered grass in Qianji's hand, and sniffled in disgust.

"Miss, don't underestimate this herb. It's called Wushixun. It has the same effect as the mint you often say." Qianji explained.

Five-color smoke, the name is very nice, who knows how effective it is.Forget it, let's give it a try, it's better than vomiting to death like this.Qu You reached out and took Wu Se Xun, and slowly put it under the nose.

Hmm, that's weird, it's really cool.Light, faint smell like mint.

"This grass is really miraculous." Qu You put it in his bosom curiously.

"I picked a big bunch here, and let Miss Huanshan keep it for you." Qianji suddenly handed over a big bunch.

God, you give people a strike.Qu You looked at the five-color smoked pile in front of him, his mouth was so wide that he could put down an egg.

Seeing that Qu You's symptoms were relieved, Qianji went back to continue driving.The carriage jolted on the potholed dirt road, raising waves of dust.

Damn, what kind of broken road is this? No wonder Baihui is so poor. Which businessman is willing to come to this broken road? Haven't they heard that if you want to get rich, you need to build roads first.Qu You walked all the way, looking at the dust rising up behind him, he was speechless for a while.

"Miss, the frontier is the border of the Bai Kingdom." Qianji suddenly said.

It was so fast, Qu You was startled, got up and opened the car curtain.

"Where is this?" Qu You asked.

"The border between Bai State and Chu State." Mu Qianhun interrupted.

"How do you know?" Qu You asked.

"I came here when I was on a mission before. This place is called Luoshou Bridge."

Luo guarded the bridge, Qu You lifted the curtain of the carriage, and looked up at the tower in the distance.
