Chapter 458 Playing Mahjong

The sycamore tree has already been in the courtyard, and at noon in winter, it is also gloomy and cold. Occasionally, there is sunshine, even today.

In this not very warm but bright sunshine, two vicissitudes and resolute old men and two young men with crowned faces sat opposite each other, wrapped in good fur, drinking a handsome and light makeup wine, and were happily in it... Playing mahjong?!

I saw four people push me and pull, and you eat me to play. When you play the base card, there is a fierce campaign on the battlefield; when you start the card, there is gentle warmth; when you play cards, there is a flash of swords and shadows, and finally when you push cards after a 'hu', there are more people. But no matter how you hide it, it is probably the winner who is happy and modest, and the loser pays with a bitter face but pretends to smile to congratulate the winner.

These four people are not others, but Ma Chao, Guo Jia, Tian Feng and Huangfu Song, and the woman who drinks and watches with interest is naturally Princess Zhai of the Han Dynasty, Liu Xiu.

After the wedding, Ma Chao had nothing to do - Han Sui was still recovering from his injuries in the Ma family, and the imperial examination was also being brewed in Zhongshu Province. As for the old fox, Ma Chao was powerless and useless to worry - so, he remembered his two senior prisoners and slipped to the backyard. It happened that Tian Feng and Guo Jia came to the house as guests, so there was this scene.

"Meng Qi, the imperial examination must be held, right?" Huangfu Song touched a tube and looked useless, so he hit it out casually.

"Touch!" Ma Chao didn't raise his head and said, "It should be these two days. Zhongshu Province is too inefficient. The smart one is dishonest, and the honest one is really busy planning the whole plan alone.

"One tube!" Guo Jia hit another tube and looked at Ma Chao's regret that he couldn't open the bar and asked, "Brother Xian, do you really want to help Fengxing this imperial examination?"

Guo Jia's call of Ma Chaoxian is not just polite. But because these days, Ma Chao and Guo Jia are very familiar with each other and feel very sorry for each other. Guo Jiasheng is open-minded and unruly, while Ma Chao is a time traveler and is insulated from those shackles.

In addition, Guo Jialai came to help Feng. Although he was under the banner of He Xi, he actually relied on helping Feng. Everyone knows his purpose. And Ma Chao is like thunder to Guo Jia, and he can't wait to be together every day. As a result, an informal prince met a vigorous and beautiful top counselor, and in just a few days, he quickly wiped out his love... The spark of friendship! At present, as Guo Jia is old, Ma Chao thinks he is his brother and wants to respect him as his brother. And Guo Jia think that he is already Cao Cao's guest, how can he make friends with other forces at will? Therefore, it is firmly refused. It's just that Ma Chao insisted on this name, and Guo Jia gradually got used to it. Today, Ma Chao began to be called a 'wise brother'.

"Of course, it's not a joke to plan for so long." Ma Chao took a look at Tian Feng, who seemed to be serious about playing cards but was actually listening attentively. He curled his lips and continued, "After brother and Tian don't drive back, you can also let Yuan Shao and Cao Cao do it. In this way, at least it can give the majority of poor people a way."

"General Ma doesn't need to squeeze someone," Tian Feng sighed, then played a waste card and said, "General also knows that my lord will definitely not do this. Why worry me?"

"Oh? Why is this? After Huangfu Song's turn, he saw that Ma Chao and Guo Jia were both smiling and saying nothing, so he was very interested in asking Tian Feng.

"My lord comes from a famous family and is also known as Tuya. He likes to attract famous people with a strong reputation. The imperial examination is contrary to the Lord's preference, and naturally he will not agree. After explaining to Huangfu Song, Tian Feng looked up at Guo Jia and continued, "Maybe Cao Gong's place can agree to abandon Yuan and defect to Cao. I'm afraid he also likes Cao Gongxi's admonition, right?"

Unexpectedly, Guo Jia shook his head, turned his head and looked at Ma Chao and said, "Under the world, I'm afraid only Yongzhou can carry out this imperial examination. Other princes may sneer or hold a wait-and-see attitude, but they will not easily follow in the footsteps of virtuous brothers.

"Guys, can you speak more clearly? Although I have read some books later, you are so cloudy. I really don't understand." Huangfu Song was a little anxious before the horse exceeded the card.

"Old general, it's not that the two of them don't speak clearly, but because they eat other people's food, so they naturally can't speak ill of others." Ma Chao touched a good card. After playing a waste card, he happened to listen to the card. He was in a good mood and said, "Yuan Shao and Cao Cao are both from famous families. Um... Of course, the old Yuan family is better than the old Cao family. However, it is undeniable that if they want to develop, they must hold the support of the Shi clan. The imperial examination system just cut off the absolute dominant position of the scholars in officialdom, so it is impossible for them to implement the imperial examination system. Therefore, Tian Bei drove to find some excuse for Yuan Shao's preference, but he can't tell you the real reason..."

Listening to Ma Chao's words so bluntly, Tian Feng couldn't bear a bitter smile. Especially in front of his two staff and two 'captives', which made Tian Feng, who was upright, feel that Ma Chao was really a little unreasonable. After playing a card casually, he said, "General Ma is really quick and open and aboveboard, and Tian admires it."

"Wait, don't admire it, give up, fool!" Ma Chao picked up the three barrels that Tian Feng hit, shouted loudly, and then said to Tian Feng happily, "Tian, don't drive. You are just Taizhong Zheng Zheng. If I guess is right, even if you know this reason in your heart, I'm afraid you will persuade Yuan Shao after returning to Jizhou, right?

Tian Feng was originally depressed with a losing face, but after hearing Ma Chao's words, he replied with an awe-inspiring face: "The rookie of eating public, natural loyalty to the public, Tian was appreciated by Yuan Gong and tried his best to persuade the lord, so that he lived up to..."

"Hail, this is your strengths, but it is also your weaknesses. To be honest, I like your personality very much, but Yuan Shao doesn't necessarily like it. So, I just put it up. It's up to you whether you listen or not. Ma Chao raised his hand, smiled, and continued to say, "Don't drive, Tian. You brought a total of 200 articles when you came. In the previous seven games, you have lost 1901. But I want to charge you 32 articles in this game, that is to say, you have no money..."

Tian Feng listened to Ma Chao's foreword, and his face couldn't help showing a depressed sadness. But then he reached out and pulled out his sleeve robe and found that there were only six penny left on him. He couldn't help looking at Ma Chao's agility. But the mahjong was so wonderful that Tian Feng was in high spirits and naturally didn't want to end up. Therefore, he frowned and did something he had never done in his life: borrowing money.

"Feng filial piety, you and I have worked together, and it's also a fate. How about borrowing 30 articles from me?" Tian Feng was embarrassed because he didn't look for Ma Chao. After all, he fired Ma Chao's gun. The reason why I didn't look for Huangfu Song is that there are not many of Huangfu Song's 200 articles left.

To be honest, which of these people really sees these dozens of articles? Playing mahjong is nothing more than an easy communication, and Guo Jia is a cheerful person. He directly divides the money in front of him into two halves and gives it to Tian Feng. So the sound of shuffling began to sound crisply again.

But just after building the cards, Bu Qian and Yang Fu came in with a thick pile of paper respectively. Bu Qian knelt down directly and said, "Teacher, the students have listed the details of the imperial examination according to the outline you gave." After waiting for Bu Qian to finish speaking, Yang Fu continued to say, "Lord, my subordinates have been reviewing it for three days, and this imperial examination is amazing. This detailed rule is detailed, orderly and detailed. I have the courage to hope that the lord will save his step by step and help a certain strength..."

"Hmm?" Ma Chao is interested now - Fa Zheng is on the name, and such a thin-skinned person as Yang Fu also opened his mouth to ask for people. This step seems to be really good - but then his face turned bitter, pointing to the thick paper and said, "You won't tell me that these are the details of the imperial examination, will you?"

The two looked at each other and nodded at the same time. Ma Chao picked up the five baht money he won and cried to the two, "Thank you for your hard work. This money was won by your father-in-law's wisdom. You take it and buy something to make up for it first..."
