“One to ten!”

"One to two, crush to death!"

"Four sevens, bomb!"

"Haha~ Wang Bang, Shunzi, I won!" Li Xiu threw the last Shunzi out and slapped the quilt with excitement. He had lost seven games in a row just now, and finally got a good deck of cards. Now he can finally turn over.

Last night, Li Xiu and Yue Chan were chatting, but gradually he felt a little bored, so he thought of a magical tool to pass the time, which was to play cards, so he made a deck with thick paper and taught them. As a result, the two girls were also very excited after learning, and later felt a little cold, so he simply sat on the bed and held the quilt to play.

However, just when Li Xiu finally won a game and was happy, he found that Yuechan and Liu'er suddenly looked behind him in a steady state, which made him turn his head, but found that Ma Ye was staring at him with a dull look.

"Uh? Why are you here, Uncle Ma?" Li Xiu looked at the still dark sky outside the window and asked strangely. In this cold weather, Mr. Ma was not sleeping at home, but actually ran to him, and he didn't knock on the door in advance, which was a bit too rude.

"You kid is so warming the bed?" Ma Ye looked at Li Xiu and the two maids who were sitting, and asked speechlessly. Although he didn't know what they were playing, it was definitely not the kind of scene he wanted to see.

"Haha, we are playing a new game, which is very interesting. Uncle Ma, do you want to play together?" Li Xiu was a little embarrassed when he heard Ma say the word "warm the bed" directly, and he said unspeakably. After all, at this time, he asked Ma Master to play cards at this time, and it was a bit unrestrained.

However, Li Xiu was not in tune with the adjustment, and Ma Master was not in tune with the adjustment. He was probably confused by the anger. He nodded and said, "Okay, I want to see what you are playing. You kid even gave up the opportunity to sleep with the same sleep!"

In addition to embarrassing Li Xiu, Yuechan also had a red face, and Liu'er was a piece of white paper on the other side, so she didn't feel anything special. She was just a little nervous when facing Ma Ye, the general. At that moment, Li Xiu got out of bed and sat at the table with Ma Ye. Li Xiu was responsible for teaching Ma Ye to identify cards, and then taught some simple rules. Because there were four people, Li Xiu decided to play and upgrade, also called "playing 100 points". The names may be different in different places, but the rules are similar and very simple.

With Ma Ye's wisdom, he naturally learned the rules quickly. Then he played a game with Li Xiu's guidance, and he could play cards independently in the second game. He also quickly discovered the charm of cards. He began to be addicted to it from the beginning, but finally forgot to find Li Xiu. He yelled and had a lot of fun with Li Xiu and the others. Among the four, he shouted the loudest.

Lao Qi is Ma Ye’s personal guard. He will always follow him no matter what Ma Ye does. However, Ma Ye doesn’t like someone around him, so unless Ma Ye encounters danger or other special circumstances, he generally won’t show up on his own initiative.

Before dawn today, Ma Ye got up and left the room. Lao Qi also received a report from the night guard, so he followed Ma Ye to outside Li Xiu's yard, but he did not go in because he knew that Ma Ye valued Li Xiu very much, and maybe because Ma Ye had no children, he now treats Li Xiu as his son, so as long as there is no danger, he generally won't bother Ma Ye and Li Xiu.

However, the situation today is a little different. Before dawn, Mr. Ma went in. But more than an hour has passed. The sun in the east has risen. Mr. Ma still has not come out. Instead, he vaguely heard some noise inside, which made Lao Qi feel strange. However, because he could hear Mr. Ma's voice, he did not break in rashly.

Another hour passed, and it was half past the morning, but Ma Ye still didn't come out, which made Lao Qi finally unable to sit still. Even if he could clearly hear Ma Ye's voice standing outside the yard, he was still a little worried. After all, today's things were really unusual.

It was precisely because of this that Lao Qi finally decided to sneak up the wall and then come to Li Xiu's bedroom door and look inside through the crack of the door. It turned out that Ma Ye, Li Xiu, and two other maids were sitting next to the table. The four of them had a lot of fun holding some small pieces of paper in their hands, and there were also some long notes on their faces, which looked a little funny, but seeing Ma Ye's smiling face, it seemed that they were having a lot of fun.

Seeing that Ma Ye was fine, Lao Qi was relieved and quietly withdrew again. It was almost noon that Ma Ye left the yard with an unhappy look, because he had not had enough fun, but was driven out by Li Xiu. However, Li Xiu cannot blame him. The three of them played all night last night and didn't even eat breakfast today. They were sleepy and hungry at noon, so Li Xiu decided not to play and asked Liu'er and Yuechan to cook. He also wanted to go to Mr. Liu to help buy a bed and bedding.

Mr. Ma left Li Xiu's house angrily, and took the cards away when he left. As soon as he returned to his residence, he immediately called his two concubines to come to his bedroom. As soon as the two concubines came in, Mr. Ma immediately ordered: "Take off your shoes! Go to bed!"

"Master, it's still daylight now!" The two concubines blushed when they heard Mr. Ma's words.

"What I want is daytime, but I can't see clearly at night!" Ma Ye said anxiously. People who just play cards are addicted, especially those like Ma Ye who are extremely bored and even need to spend time with fishing every day. The charm of cards is undoubtedly revealed, which makes him now full of the idea of ​​playing cards, and he didn't notice the reaction of the two concubines.

When the two concubines were shy and were also a little moved when they looked at each other, they finally took off their shoes and went to bed, and then began to untidy their clothes. The blushing face and seductive movements made them unable to control themselves.

At this time, Mr. Ma finally noticed the actions of the two concubines. He was stunned at the moment, and then laughed and stopped them, "Be honest with me for a while. I want to deal with you later. But today I asked you to come here to play cards with me. Sit down quickly and I will teach you how to play. This thing is so fun!"

"Play cards?" The two concubines were all stunned when they heard this. Ma Master pulled them down, and then sat on the bed with a quilt like Li Xiu and Yuechan, and began to teach the two concubines to play cards. As a result, after they learned it, they were deeply attracted. In the end, they didn't have time to eat lunch, and they continued to eat something until the evening before they started playing.

In the Tang Dynasty, not only was the material scarce, but also had a very backward entertainment. Even the nobles usually only watched singing, dancing, drinking, and drinking wine. Those who were more elegant could also read and play music. In addition, although there were some entertainment activities, they were either on specific days or were not very interesting.

In contrast, the gameplay of cards is varied, with excellent fun and entertainment. Otherwise, it would not last forever in later generations. It is precisely because of these reasons that after contacting cards, people like Ma Ye naturally became addicted to it. They soon became popular in the Princess Villa, and then spread it to Chang'an City through the people of the Princess Villa. In just a few months, cards have become a powerful entertainment tool that has become popular in Chang'an City. From princes and nobles to peddlers, there are noises of playing cards everywhere.

Li Xiu was unexpectedly surprised by the impact of cards, but this is not a bad thing. People need material survival, and they also need entertainment and relaxation. Moreover, with the spread of cards, the Arabic numerals on them have also become well-known. Now, no one has realized the meaning of Arabic numerals, but sooner or later will smart people apply them to mathematics, which is also an unexpected surprise.

In the blink of an eye, it was the twelfth lunar month, and the vegetables in the greenhouse were growing well. It was time to harvest. Li Xiu had been dreaming of counting money these days, and counting for one night. When he had money, the first thing he did was to rebuild the yard. Not only did he build a few more houses, but he also needed to add some living facilities. After all, some backward living conditions in the Tang Dynasty made him very uncomfortable, and there were too many places that needed to be renovated.

The sun was very good that day, and it made people feel warm. Li Xiu moved a bamboo couch to the yard, spread a blanket on it, and then lay on it himself. The well-behaved Liu'er rode on his back and was giving him a massage. The little girl kept trying to climb up the couch, but her legs were too short. She failed countless times, but she still jumped up unstoppablely. Yue Chan was also sitting next to her, making clothes for Li Xiu during the New Year. In this era, there was not even a clothing store. All the clothes worn by men were sewn by women at home.

Feeling the massage of Liu'er's little hand on his back, Li Xiu couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. He found that he had begun to fall. The life of a feudal little landlord was so comfortable. Now he had nothing in his mind, and his body was floating like a cloud.

However, just as Li Xiu was enjoying this leisurely time, a heavy footsteps suddenly came from outside the gate, and then the gate was pushed open suddenly, which scared Li Xiu, and hurriedly sat up, but saw a guy with a flashing golden light strode in!
