The Multiverse Starting from White Deer Plain

386. Talk about love, play mahjong! (Please order in full)

Tang Wan was stunned.

Only then did he realize that he had dug a hole for himself and jumped into it.

The desire to win is too strong.

Even... facing a boy.

No, this is not an ordinary boy, he is a child prodigy. In terms of knowledge, he is not necessarily weaker than her, even if she is a few years older. As for his official background, Bai Gui is now a Jinshi, and he is a secretary of the ninth rank, Provincial School Secretary.

"nothing……"

"It's just a verbal agreement, it doesn't count."

Logan secretly said.

She is just a young girl in love now, and she is only relatively close to her cousin Lu You. With the idea of ​​​​getting closer to each other, I am ready to make an engagement.

If you say that you and Lu You are truly sworn lovers at this moment.

Not so!

But she didn't want to make a lifelong decision in such a hurry.

Cousin Lu You is at least someone who knows everything about her, but Bai Gui has just met her, and his age is a bit inappropriate for her.

"This is the golden hairpin my mother gave me before leaving."

"Tell me to give it to the person you like..."

"Since Miss Tang agrees, then give this gold hairpin to Miss Tang."

Bai Gui is decisive.

After saying that, he took out a Yunfeng gold hairpin from his sleeve, with a gold tassel hanging from the hairpin.

This gold hairpin was indeed given to him by Bai Li, but he was told in advance that if he fell in love with Miss Zhang Di, he would give this gold hairpin to Miss Zhang Di as a token of love.

But the plan couldn't keep up with the changes. Now that Tang Wan said this, Bai Gui refused to admit defeat. He couldn't lose much anyway.

It is a very common practice at this time to use gold hairpins as tokens of love.

It's called "inserting a hairpin" to confirm love!

This is a unique dating custom of the Song Dynasty.

"If a daughter-in-law is chosen, that is, a relative of the groom's family or a mother-in-law takes a fancy to the daughter-in-law, a hairpin will be inserted into the crown, which is called "inserting the hairpin." If not, one or two ends of the colored satin will be left behind." - " "Tokyo Dreams"

"Please also ask Miss Tang to take this thing so that I can have an explanation after I go back."

Bai Gui approached, holding the gold hairpin in both hands, handed it to Tang Wan, and said.

Green plums are no match for heaven!

As a descendant type, it is normal for him to defeat Lu You.

Compared to Miss Zhang Di, whose name and appearance are unknown, getting engaged to Tang Wan is not bad. It doesn't matter whether Tang Wan accepts her or not. If she does, it will be considered an engagement. If she doesn't, it's just a temporary joke. The prince was still fourteen or fifteen when he left the palace.

He is young, which will not have an impact on Logan.

"You little boy, I invited you to Shen Garden because I wanted you to be engaged to my eighteenth daughter. I didn't expect you..."

In the Lone Crane Pavilion, Zhang Zeduan, who was watching this scene in the other corner of the pavilion, couldn't sit still. He stood up and pretended to ask.

After Xiaolian returned home a few days ago, she told him many times that the boy who passed the child prodigy exam had good looks and conversation. In addition, he already had an official status, so he sent Butler Zhang to give it to the Bai family. Invitation to Shen Garden.

After arriving at Shen Yuan, he kept his identity to himself and did not want to get too close to Bai Gui, so he watched from the sidelines. But unexpectedly, following Li Qingzhao's teasing joke, the son-in-law he was interested in was about to be abducted.

He had been observing for so long and was very satisfied with Bai Gui's agility. At the same time, he also observed Bai Gui's physique. After all, 'deep love will not last long, and extreme wisdom will be damaged', so prodigies often die young.

When painting a person, he first paints the bones. He has been painting for so many years and has reached the pinnacle of painting skills. He is also very accurate in reading people.

Arriving from the floating bridge to Guhe Pavilion, Bai Gui's breath was stable and he was not tired. His face was white and rosy, and he was very healthy. Moreover, he could see that Bai Gui's muscles and bones were strong. Although he was not as strong as a calf, his physique was definitely much stronger than that of ordinary children of the same age. He was a good youngster.

In this case, he will not let go of this son-in-law easily.

With Zhang Zeduan's interruption, Tang Wan breathed a sigh of relief. This little brother was pressing on him step by step. She didn't agree to it, and it didn't matter if she didn't agree.

But just when she retreated.

Suddenly remembering the Lu family's disdain for her, she hesitated.

That's not to say that he is disdainful, but rather looks down upon her family's background. Her father is just a border magistrate. Although he is a sixth-grade official, his family background can only be regarded as mediocre.

As for the Lu family... Lu You's ancestor, Lu Dian, was a disciple of Wang Anshi, and his official rank was Shangshu Youcheng. His father, Lu Zai, was the deputy envoy of Jingxi Road Transport. This was a position official with no rank, but he could hold this official position. Generally, their power is not low, much higher than that of a sixth-grade general judge. Further up, Lu You's family has had hairpins for generations, and each generation has been a Jinshi. Now Lu You has been awarded the official position of Deng Shilang by Enyin.

Although Deng Shilang is a minor official and a ninth-grade literary official, the power of the Lu family can be seen.

Nowadays, even great scholars like Zhang Zeduan want to recruit Bai Gui as their son-in-law. Bai Gui is a young boy, not Enyin, who got the official position and has a better future than her cousin.

She was young and had suffered a lot of grievances.

Instead of trying to reach high..., it's better to find someone who "likes" you.

Logan bit his lip and retracted his steps to exit.

She took the gold hairpin from Bai Gui's hand.

Startled for a moment.

Inserted into his concentric bun.

"Those who are not married should wear a bun with the same center, two feet high, with six silver hairpins, and a large ivory comb in the back, as big as a hand." - Lu You's "Entering Shu"

"You...this...this child."

Zhang Zeduan was helpless.

This was the son-in-law he finally fell in love with, and he was snatched away before his hands were warm.

He also understood that without his interruption, Tang Wan and Bai Gui might not be able to succeed, but with his interruption, Tang Wan's little daughter was very competitive. When she saw someone competing with her, she would immediately snatch it away.

"That's it, that's all."

"I am happy to see a good marriage."

Zhang Zeduan shook his head.

The deal was done, Tang Wan put in the gold hairpin, and it was considered a match. Although she could regret the marriage, for the sake of the reputation of the big family, even if Tang Wan was willing, the Tang family was not willing. To put it cruelly, the Tang family would probably be happy to marry Bai Gui, a young boy.

"Come on, come on, hit the horse, hit the horse."

"I lost a lot in love, but I must win in poker!"

Zhang Zeduan gritted his teeth and said.

"Let's fight horses together."

Li Qingzhao's tired face disappeared and he was full of energy and said immediately.

Reading Yuanyang music is a pleasure.

Horse hunting is even more fun.

"A disciple who is not just a man of action will bring about many good things. It will enable thousands of generations to know the destiny and say how to beat the horse. It started with the layman Yi'an." - Li Qingzhao's "Preface to the Picture of Beating the Horse"

Playing horses is similar to playing mahjong in later generations.

According to some research, mahjong originated from the horse-playing game in the Ming Dynasty, which originated from the horse-playing game in the Song Dynasty. The person who promoted the horse-playing game was Li Qingzhao, a lay scholar in Yi'an.

"Mahjong evolved from a card game called Ma Diao in the Ming Dynasty. In the Ming Dynasty, scholar-bureaucrats indulged in playing Ma Diao all day and night, neglecting their official duties. Wu Weiye, a Qing man, wrote "Suiguan Jilue", It is believed that the Ming Dynasty fell due to Ma Diao." - Dr. Hu's "Mahjong"

"There are still a few people left, who will beat the horse?"

Li Qingzhao asked while busy.

She took out a folded jade chessboard from the package she carried with her and wrapped some jade chess pieces in silk.

The chess pieces are the size of copper coins, with markings such as "Red Rabbit" and "Jueying" engraved on them. On the chessboard are the words "Longxi Prison" and "Hangu Pass".

A group of people who were reciting poems were not surprised by this.

Bai Gui was stunned for a moment.

The image of the talented woman that lay just now, Yi An, quickly collapsed in his heart. Although he had read a lot of historical materials and knew that Li Qingzhao liked playing cards when he lived in Lin'an Mansion in this area, seeing it with his own eyes was a different experience.

"You two, don't be stunned. Talk about romance or love. Let's get together and play cards."
