The world of rebirth

Tianshou 11th Mid-Autumn Festival

Although there is no way to go to Zhuangzi to climb high to enjoy the moon, but the moon worship that should be done in the mansion is also indispensable.Ning Qiaoxin didn't want to think about unhappy things during the rare holiday.

These days, she tied more than a dozen lanterns with her own hands, preparing to send them to the yard of her father and younger brothers to add some festivities.

Ju Xiang held up several exquisite lanterns and praised them, "Miss, your hands are getting more and more skillful, this fish-shaped lantern is really beautiful!"

"That one is specially reserved for my younger brother." Ning Qiaoxin looked left and right, divided the lanterns, two for each yard, and hung the rest high up at night when admiring the moon.

When Ning Yunjin walked into her yard, she happened to hear it, and happily moved forward to take the fish-shaped lantern from Juxiang's hand, "I heard it, my sister made it for me. It really is my sister who loves me."

"Don't I love you?"

After he finished speaking, Ning Yunting also appeared. He walked into the courtyard and slapped Ning Yunjin on the head, "Fortunately, I bought their signature mooncakes from Daoxiang Village for you to try!"

"Did you make an appointment! Why did you come to my place suddenly?" Ning Qiaoxin pursed her lips and laughed happily, watching her two younger brothers laughing.

"I'm here to deliver food to you, sister." Ning Yunting turned his head to take a look, and Li Cheng behind him stepped forward and handed the oiled paper bag in his hand to Mei Xiang beside him.

The two looked at Ning Yunjin, especially the two servants behind him holding the wooden box. Ning Yunting asked curiously, "Little brother, what are you bringing?"

"Good stuff!" Ning Yunjin raised his chin triumphantly, and said to Ning Qiaoxin, "This is a Mid-Autumn Festival gift I made for my sister."

"Gift? What good thing?" Ning Qiaoxin asked in surprise.

Cuixiang cleverly went forward to clean up the stone tables in the yard, and said with a smile, "Second Young Master spent a lot of time making this. We asked him to keep it secret, and we all want to know what it is for!"

"Sit down and talk." Ning Yunjin said.After speaking, he sat down first and instructed the two servants to put the wooden box on the table.

Ning Qiaoxin and Ning Yunting were very curious about his mysterious behavior, so they also sat down.

Ning Yunjin first put one wooden box on the empty stone bench, and opened the other.Inside the wooden box were eight small wooden boards with mortise and tenon structures. He connected them together one by one, and soon the eight wooden boards became a whole board, which was actually bigger than the stone table.

"What's the use of these small grids?" Ning Qiaoxin found that the wooden boards were seamless after they were put together. There was an irregular border composed of two small grids engraved on it, which almost filled the board like a map. A square space is left at the very center.

Every five small grids are painted in one color, and there is a small hole in it.She was wondering about the purpose of those small holes, when she saw Ning Yunjin open another box, and took out a wooden carved palace from it.

There are three wooden sticks at the lower end of the palace, and Ning Yunjin aligned the wooden sticks with the three holes in the center of the wooden board, only then did Ning Qiaoxin know that they were used for fixing.

Following Ning Yunjin's movements, a building like an imperial city soon appeared in the center of the board, with a palace wall, a Yudai River, a square, and a building complex composed of four parts, one big, three small, vivid It is the epitome of a palace.

"This is... a sand table?" Ning Yunting asked uncertainly.

"No, I'll find out later." Ning Yunjin still kept it mysterious, and placed wood carvings on the five larger grids.

The five wood carvings this time are in the structure of small buildings, but on the roofs are engraved with pawnshops, banks, medical clinics, yamen, and ticket numbers.

"Hey, it looks familiar!" After all, Ning Yunting often goes out, so he noticed something strange. The bank looks like the Huitong bank run by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and the Yamen looks a bit like Dali Temple .

As soon as he saw the unique shape of the eaves on the medical hall, he was happy, and smiled at Ning Qiaoxin, "Xiaoer seems to be carved according to those famous buildings in Beijing, and it really looks like it!"

Ning Qiaoxin curiously touched the woodcarving combination that looked like the imperial palace. The main building was carved with high-quality walnut wood and was not painted. The door of the main hall was open, and you could even see the delicate and exquisite decorations inside. .

"Little brother, it will take a lot of effort to carve it! Do you really want to give such a beautiful carving to me?"

"Could it be fake? These are all carved out of imitation of famous buildings in Beijing. My sister turned around and looked at them slowly." Ning Yunjin pointed to the small wood carvings that had been placed on the wooden board on the table, and asked the two of them to Glancing at the wooden box, there are many smaller carved buildings inside.

"What's the use of doing this? Why don't you paint it to make it more beautiful for my sister? It's a waste of this carving work." Ning Yunting asked puzzled.

Ning Yunjin took out two wooden dice and threw them on the square of the palace, and said with a mysterious smile, "Because the biggest function of this is actually for playing, the paint is too easy to fade!"

"Play!?" The two exclaimed in unison, and then Ning Yunjin explained the rules to them under their expectant eyes.

Monopoly was originally a board game before it became a computer game, Ning Yunjin just changed it to have more Daxia characteristics.For example, the original bank was dismantled into a pawn shop and a money bank, the prison was changed into a government office, the item store was changed into a ticket number, and some item cards were changed to make it easier for the ancients to understand.

According to Ning Yunjin's setting, everyone can initially receive a start-up fund of 99 taels. Of course, the taels are also small ingots and silver coins carved out of wood.After briefly explaining some precautions, he said, "It's better to learn while playing, and see who is the best."

"Little brother, you are really not doing your job properly. Daddy said two days ago that you have become obedient, but you turned out to be messing with this thing." The game sounded like business, and Ning Yunting's tone was inevitably tinged with contempt. There was no way. , Scholars, farmers, businessmen, who said that the profession of businessman is the most despised now!

The first few rounds at the beginning of the game are naturally a must-buy, and there is no obvious advantage at the beginning.Ning Yunjin was very lucky. He bought a [Swamp Card] when he passed the ticket number for the first time. After using this card, he can only take one step in the next three rounds no matter how many points he throws.

Since there is no computer randomization, when passing by the ticket number, it is stipulated that each person can draw lots three times, and the purchase is limited.

At least three lands of the same color can build a top-level inn—the grid is too small to accommodate large buildings.

Ning Yunjin quickly used the mud card, bought three lands of the same color, and then rose to the top level in one breath, and his money immediately decreased a lot.

If three people play, the competition is not too fierce. After playing for a few rounds, the money will come and go in and out of their hands. Ning Yunting and Ning Qiaoxin, who have been groping for the rules, have gradually become more interesting in the game—after all, no one doesn’t like it. The feeling of making money!

Soon the chessboard became clear. Ning Yunting had the most land but many of them were scattered. Ning Qiaoxin was more cautious in spending money. After buying the land, he was not interested in upgrading to the highest-level inn. Only Ning Yunjin used all resources Buy land that is connected together, and build buildings that require huge tolls on them.

After all the vacant land is sold out, the next step is to compete for the ability to frame the opponent!

Ning Yunjin couldn't bear to punish his sister, so he tossed Ning Yunting desperately, sometimes letting him into the medical clinic, sometimes letting him into the yamen.Entering these two places means losing part of his cash. At the beginning, Ning Yunting ran away with all his money, but later he was frightened and learned to store his money in the bank.

But how bad is Ning Yunjin, if he gets an item card like [Tribbling Horse] [Swamp Card], he can spend it when passing through his own territory. Be careful and lost a few pieces of land, which made things worse, and soon he could only declare bankruptcy.

The competition between Ning Yunjin and Ning Qiaoxin lasted for a while, and Ning Yunting, who was forced out of the game, had been advising his sister all the time. In addition, Ning Yunjin let go of the situation a little bit. After a stalemate for a while, Ning Qiaoxin ended up winning .

"This thing is really fun!" Ning Yunting, who still despised this game at first, saw his younger brother being bankrupted, and was as happy as if he had won.

But Ning Qiaoxin saw another benefit, "This is really a good thing to pass the time, we just played for almost an hour just now."

Ning Qiaoxin was naturally happy to accept such a good thing, and she felt that life passed quickly when she let the girl or younger brother play with her in her spare time.

Ning Yunting is more addicted than her, if it wasn't for his lack of free time and his busy schedule, he would have wished to play a few games every day.

Even so, sometimes when the academy was over early, he would invite Chu Ling, Mu Danshu or other good friends to the mansion, and ask Ning Qiaoxin to borrow a chessboard to play.For this reason, he complained fiercely to Ning Yunjin, saying that he only gave a pen washer for his birthday, but giving his sister a mid-autumn gift was so delicate and fun.

Ning Jingxian only knew that his sons and daughters were recently obsessed with playing a game they invented, so they didn't pay too much attention to it.Until the second day of September, the day before he planned to move, he was suddenly summoned to the palace by Wen Zhen.

"I heard that your second child came up with something new?" Wen Zhen asked straight to the point after letting him die.

"Reporting to the emperor, it's not a rare thing, it's something that my little second made while practicing carving." Ning Jingxian replied cautiously.

"I heard it's a fun thing! After the two boys from the Mu family and the Chu family played with it, they kept boasting, which made the prince's heart itch." Wen Zhen said meaningfully, "But I still listen to it." Said that this game is to roll dice on the square of the Hall of Supreme Harmony, your little girl is really very creative!"

Ning Jingxian was so frightened that his back broke out in cold sweat, he quickly kowtowed and pleaded guilty, "Please make amends, my majesty. I will educate him well when I return home. I beg your majesty to read that since Gouzi is still young and ignorant, please forgive him this time." .”

Wen Zhen raised his eyebrows and ordered, "Bring your mistress and that gadget to the palace tomorrow for me to have a look."
