dream of red mansion

That's going to be a big deal!

While the sisters were still thinking about the joke and Jia Baoyu hadn't made a big mistake yet, Jia Qing decisively changed the subject and said, "Okay, that's the end of the joke, and I'll teach you a game. Come, let's make tools first."

Jia Baoyu also recalled it at this time, and he almost got involved in a big event!Hearing Jia Qing change the subject, he immediately gave up what he hadn't finished, and said flatteringly, "Oh? Tell me what it is?"

Jia Qing didn't look at him, this guy almost cheated him.

"Sister Xiren, please bring me some scissors..."

So, under Jia Qing's guidance, all the sisters worked together, and quickly cut out 54 cards of normal size.

Jia Qing took all of them back, well, fortunately, they are only about twice as thick as the playing cards of later generations.

"Second brother, what should we do next?"

Seeing Jia Qing weighing the pile of cardboards there, Jia Baoyu asked.

Jia Qing smiled mysteriously and said, "Then I will borrow my second brother's desk for use."

So he moved to the desk in the corner of the room.All the sisters also surrounded Jia Qing.

After that, Jia Qing wrote the size of the 54 cards according to the appearance of the playing cards in memory, but did not draw the pattern.

He planned to draw a sample later when he had time, and let the bookstore in the city mass-produce more exquisite cards.

Looking at the cards marked by Jia Qing on the table, Tan Chun said: "What the hell is Second Brother doing? Two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, ninety, these are all numbers, but I don't know what these four are. . Huh? King and Xiaowang?”

"It feels very interesting!"

After Jia Qing marked the last two cards with king and king, although she didn't understand, Daiyu still commented like this.

Jia Baoyu asked, "What's this called?"

"Poker."

"Puke brand?"

"What kind of gameplay?"

"There are many ways to play, now I will teach you to recognize these cards..."

……

An hour later.

"Three belts and one, I'm done with it again."

"Brother Bao, how did you play the card, and let the thief, the second brother, run away again. Let me see your card... You are really good! Why don't you bomb him if you have Wang Zhan?"

After losing another game, Lin Daiyu began to blame Jia Baoyu, a pig teammate

Jia Baoyu defended in a low voice: "I thought it wouldn't be too late..."

That's right, the first game Jia Qing taught them to play was "Fighting the Landlord", which became popular in later generations.It’s just that calling this name in this day and age is obviously inappropriate. After all, dignitaries like the Jia Mansion are big landlords!Because the Jia family has more than [-] mu of land under their name.

So Jia Qing called it "catch the thief".

Because the thief stole three treasures, everyone came together to catch the thief, and this is the name!

But what's interesting is that Daiyu is very talented in learning this, and she basically mastered the essentials in an hour.On the other hand, Jia Baoyu didn't seem to be enlightened. After playing so many rounds, he was always ridiculed, "Your cards are really good..."

"Brother Bao, get up, it's my turn."

Sure enough, Tanchun also agreed with Daiyu's words and automatically sentenced Jia Baoyu to end.

Jia Baoyu stood up reluctantly.

"Second Master Bao, Second Master Qing, girls, where is the old lady passing the meal?"

A woman's voice came from outside the house.

Only then did everyone in the house realize that the sky had darkened at some point, and the oil lamp next to it was also lit at some point.

So everyone got up and went to Rongqing Hall.

"What have you guys been playing all afternoon? I don't even know what to eat..."

As expected, Mother Jia had already prepared a meal here, and after Jia Qing and his party came in, Mother Jia complained.

In front of Jia Mu, it has always been Jia Baoyu's special performance. I saw him running a few steps to Jia Mu's hands and sitting down, and replied: "Back to the ancestors, we are catching thieves."

Mother Jia was calling for Jia Qing and the others to sit down too, and she couldn't help but be taken aback when she heard the words: "Catch the thief? Where did the thief come from?"

Jia Baoyu chuckled and said, "My ancestor, you're not that kind of thief. It's a game my second brother taught us to play. Speaking of it, it's the same as your ancestors playing cards, but our game is played by three people."

Seeing Mother Jia's eyes looking over, Jia Qing took out the poker cards from his arms, handed them to Mother Jia and said, "Look, ancestor, this is the game."

Jia Mu took it and said: "You guys made it? It's unique!" After looking carefully, she still didn't see anything, so she returned it to Jia Qing and said, "You will also teach me later. Teach me the old woman. Now we shall eat."

"Yes!"

All the masters in Jia's mansion ate alone, but Jia's mother liked to be lively and kept Baoyu and her sisters by her side, so they ate together.

Generally, the two wives of King Xing, Li Wan and Wang Xifeng don't eat here, unless Jia's mother stays with them.Tonight is equivalent to having one more Jia Qing.

Eat without speaking, sleep without speaking.

After eating dinner in silence, Mother Jia really became very excited and asked Jia Qing and others to teach her how to "catch a thief".

The old man's comprehension ability is always poor, and everyone dared not ridicule Jia Baoyu like they did to Jia Baoyu, so they had to patiently explain the rules to Jia's mother repeatedly.

Chapter 63 The Kid Next Door

Fortunately, Jiamu's energy is not very high, after more than ten rounds of playing with everyone, she is exhausted, and the mandarin ducks serve her to rest.

After the sisters dispersed, Lin Daiyu and Jia Baoyu walked back together.

"I really can't imagine what the second brother has in his head. First he can compose poems, and today he tells us jokes and teaches us how to catch a thief. I don't know what else he can do."

Seeing that Daiyu didn't answer the words, she just kept walking forward without paying attention, and continued: "And when the second brother told the joke, the expression, the movement, and the joke, it's too funny, especially that sentence... Anyway , it's just fun."

"Brother Bao, why didn't you say that clearly, why are you hesitating?"

Lin Daiyu finally answered, she stopped, but her tone was not so friendly.

Jia Baoyu said, "What have you finished?"

Lin Daiyu didn't pay any attention to him anymore, she just quickened her pace and walked forward, she was about to enter her room.
