"Fighting the bandits? Cousin, how should we fight this?"

In the Yunshan Courtyard, Ye Fashan looked at the pieces of wood slightly thicker than paper that Li Zexuan had cut, and was puzzled for a while, so he asked with a frown.

"Haha! Everything has a destiny. Of course, this bandit fight has rules for fighting bandits! Fashan, wait for a while, wait for me to cut fifty-four wooden cards, and then tell you the rules!"

Li Zexuan responded while showing off his sword skills.

The piece of yellow-white basswood was like a piece of tofu in his hand. He could easily cut it and shape it at will. There were already four or five wooden plaques on the ground that were exactly the same size and thickness!

Seeing Li Zexuan selling off again, Ye Fashan pursed his lips speechlessly.

As time passed, after about two quarters of an hour, there were more and more yellow and white wooden plaques on the ground, Ye Fashan suddenly thought of something, he said, "Cousin, do you want to move Ye Zixi to the wooden plaques? above?"

Li Zexuan couldn't help but be stunned, Ye Zixi? What is this? He had never heard of it in his previous life, nor did he have any memory of this body!

(This can't be blamed on him, because his predecessor went to Longhu Mountain to study art when he was very young. He may be familiar with the classics of Taoism, but he knows very little about the scriptures.)

"Fashan, what is Ye Zixi?"

Li Zexuan thought about it for a while but couldn't figure it out, so he asked.

"Uh! Cousin, you don't know Ye Zixi?"

This time 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 Ye Zixi?

Seeing "little cousin" like this, Li Zexuan's face flushed, and he said angrily, "As the saying goes, a wise man has a thousand worries, and he must make a mistake. It's normal for your cousin to not know about some things! Fashan, please tell me!"

Ye Fashan slandered in his heart: A wise man has a thousand thoughts, and he must make a mistake. This sentence doesn't seem to be used like this, right?

Although he thought so, his original intention was not to make Li Zexuan embarrassed, so he explained: "It is said that at the end of the Qin Dynasty when Chu and Han were fighting, the 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 leaf play.

The gameplay of Ye Zixi is very simple, draw cards from the back in turn, turn over to play cards, and take the big to the small. When the card is not revealed, it is a hidden card, so that no one can see it; after the leaves are revealed, they are all placed upside down. "

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 was sure that Western playing cards definitely borrowed from ancient Chinese leaf opera!

In fact, this is indeed the case. Western poker has the shadow of leaf play both in terms of gameplay and form. According to most scholars of later generations, poker evolved on the basis of leaf play!

When it comes to Ye Zixi, I have to mention one person - Queen Li's Queen of Zhou, this is the real Ye Zixi master in history, who has written a volume of "Xie Meng Xiao Ye Ge" and "Golden Ye Ye Ge" ", and "Little Leaf Cases", but unfortunately all of them have been lost.

Ye Zixi was really popular during the Song Dynasty. From the literati, the dignitaries, to the common people, they all enjoyed this game! In the early Tang Dynasty, Ye Zixi was not yet popular!

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

Li Zexuan laughed and joked.

In fact, he sighed that Ye Fashan is really a good seedling. He is proficient in literature, science, arithmetic, and astronomy. If he comes to Yanhuang Academy for further studies, he will definitely become a banner figure for the next generation of engineering! It's just a pity that this little cousin is determined to travel around the world and save the world!

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

Ye Fashan bowed his hands and said modestly.

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

About a quarter of an hour later, all the fifty-four wooden plaques were finally sharpened. Li Zexuan polished the edges of the plaques on the sand to make them round and uncut, and then let Xiaohe and Xiaoxi bring ink and cinnabar. He wrote patterns and numbers on each card. After everything was over, he breathed a sigh of relief. It happened that Han Yuxi came back from outside, and he hurriedly greeted: "Miss! Come come! There is just one person missing, let's Let's fight the bandits!"

"Fighting the bandits? Xianggong, where are there bandits in our family?"

Han Yuxi looked around and wondered.

"Haha! This bandit is not another bandit! Come here, my lady! Today, I will teach you how to fight bandits, and I guarantee that you will still want to play after playing it again!"

Li Zexuan burst out laughing.

Han Yuxi walked over suspiciously, Li Zexuan called Ye Fashan, pointed to the numbers on the wooden card, and said, "Miss, Fashan, look, there are numbers on each of these cards, three is the smallest, in order..."

It only took half an hour for Han Yuxi and Ye Fashan to understand the rules of fighting landlords, er, no, it is the rules of fighting bandits, Li Zexuan sorted out the wooden card in his hand and smiled: "Okay! You all understand the basic rules. , as the saying goes, standing on the shore can't learn to swim, play it first, you will experience it, and you will fully understand!"

"Uh-huh!"

Han Yuxi nodded and was eager to try it. She felt that this bandit fight seemed more interesting than Ye Zixi!

Ye Fashan pursed his lips, showing no excitement or refusal.

The three took the cards in order, Ye Fashan's landlord (bandit), Ye Fashan

Shan glanced at the cards in his hand, frowned for a while, and said, "No!"

A is the biggest when the hands are together, he is a fart!

Li Zexuan, Ye Fashan's next family, said with a wide-eyed smile, "Hey! It's called a bandit!"

With that said, he reached for his hole cards—a seven, plus a pair of kings.

"Haha! Super double!"

Li Zexuan laughed proudly.

"Cousin, what is a super double?"

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

Li Zexuan explained: "Well, for example, if I have one penny per game, if I super double it, it will be four penny per round. If I win, each of you will give me four penny, and if I lose, I will give each of you four penny, and the middle If there's a bomb, a bomb, double that, understand?"

"Oh!"

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

"do not add!"

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

"Three four five six seven eight ninety!"

Li Zexuan started and threw a straight, secretly thinking that the seven in his hole card is very important!

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

Ye Fashan: "Five, six, seven, eight, ninety hooks!"

"Hey! Okay! Bomb! (Four Ks)"

"don't want!"

"A pair of three belts!"

"Three twos with a pair of fours!"
