Chapter 157 The first invention

Zhu Youlang should be happy to cut the mess by quickly cutting off the rebellion gangs such as Huang Rizhang and neatly destroying them in one fell swoop, solving their confidants.

However, Zhu Youlang has been very annoyed recently.

The reason for the irritability is the weather in Guangzhou.

The weather in Guangzhou is really strange. Since May, it has not sunny. It is either big or small. The air is humid and hot, making people sticky and panting. It feels so difficult to breathe. In this environment for a long time, people feel gloomy.

It’s okay for others to say that Zhu Youlang is most worried about Wang Chang.

People during pregnancy must keep a good mood, which is good for fetal development. This has been scientifically proven in later generations. As a student of the University of Traditional Chinese Medicine in later generations, Zhu Youlang understands this more than anyone else.

Zhu Youlang is more concerned about his first son than anyone else. He often talks with Wang Chang while handling government affairs, takes a walk in the garden, and tells her some jokes.

Wang Chang is good everywhere, but Zhu Youlang is helpless - he pays too much attention to the image of a virtuous queen.

No matter what she thought, Wang Chang always kept a decent smile. Even if the eunuchs and palace maids did something bad, she refused to scold her loudly; Zhu Youlang told her a joke, but she never laughed loudly.

She was determined to be a virtuous queen who was in charge of the world.

It was raining all the time. Zhu Youlang saw irritability in Wang Chang's eyes, but he refused to show it. Thinking about it, he was already very frustrated by being confined to this small place all day long. In addition, it rained, so he simply couldn't even go to the garden, for fear of a mistake under his feet and a fetal aura.

"What way can I think of to make her diverge? This ghost weather can make you feel bored, let alone her?" Zhu Youlang thought.

"This is too easy in the future. Playing with your mobile phone, shopping malls and supermarkets, and yelling at the karaoke bar is really not possible. You can also shout for friends, playing mahjong, fighting landlords, etc. In this era, spiritual life is still too poor."

"Mahjong?" Zhu Youlang's eyes lit up when he thought of this: "Why don't you make a pair of mahjong for Chang'er to play with? This thing is simple to make, the gameplay is simple and easy to learn, and it is easy to addictive. You will forget all your worries when you play it. Moreover, there is no need for venues or equipment. You only need a square table and a pair of mahjong, which is suitable for the concubines living in the harem to relieve boredom and have fun."

He did it as soon as he said that, Zhu Youlang picked up a pen and wrote it on paper.

If there are 108 pieces of cakes, 28 pieces of whiteness in the east, west, south, north and middle, eight pieces of plum, summer, autumn and winter, all 144 pieces were painted, and Li Hong was called, and he ordered: "Let the craftsmen in the Ministry of Internal Affairs make it immediately."

"Your Majesty, what is this?" Li Hong looked at the colorful paper and couldn't see what it was.

"It was made for the Queen Mother and let her relieve her boredom is called mahjong."

"Oh. Emperor, what material should I use? Use gold or silver?"

When he heard this, Zhu Youlang, who was drinking water, almost spit out: "Damn, I'm still gold and silver? Are you not afraid of breaking your hands and necks? I'm really ignorant." He thought again: "That's right, don't blame him, blame yourself for not explaining it clearly."

"The lighter the material, the better, it is best to grind it with animal bones." Zhu Youlang said.

"There are some ivory in the treasure house. I made some chopsticks a few days ago. Can I use ivory for the rest?"

"Yes, just use ivory." Zhu Youlang said.

"It's so luxurious. You actually made a pair of toys with such expensive things." Zhu Youlang sighed in his heart.

...

It took less than two days to make mahjong.

Because the beating was a guise for the Queen Mother to play, Zhu Youlang was naturally the first to offer treasure to the Queen Mother, and Wang Chang was there too.

The Empress Dowager went to see Wang Chang a few days ago. Now it has been three months. The most dangerous period has passed and the fetus has been firmly settled. Wang Chang never let the Empress Dowager see her again, but insisted on coming to Cining Palace to pay his respects.

"It rains and the road is slippery, you have to be careful." Zhu Youlang glanced at Wang Chang and said with concern.

"Don't worry, Chunmei and others are serving well, just like they are holding me, how can they fall?" Wang Chang looked at her husband, with a happy smile in her eyes and replied.

"Son of the Emperor, what is this?" Empress Dowager Ma looked at Li Hong holding a square box in her hand and followed Zhu Youlang, and asked quickly.

"This is called mahjong. It was a toy that my son thought of to help the mother relieve her boredom."

After saying that, Zhu Youlang asked Li Hong to get a square table, put the mahjong on the table, and explain the game to the Queen Mother.

"This is a studious person, almost like playing a horse hanger." Empress Dowager Ma said after hearing her son's explanation.

"Chang'er, come, let's play with my mother for a few games." Zhu Youlang said quickly when he saw Wang Chang touching a card in his hand and was very interested.

"Okay, Chunlan, come and get along." Wang Chang agreed readily, called Chunmei, and the three of them sat around the table with the Empress Dowager, and Xia He stood behind Zhu Youlang to watch.

Roll dice, adjust the wind, touch, touch, eat, go up, and, and make a circle, and the rules are considered to be the whole church.

"Yes, this thing is good, my mother likes it, my son is really filial." After a round of conversation, Empress Dowager Ma became a little addicted. Wang Chang and Chunlan also looked quite interested.

Seeing this, Zhu Youlang thought to himself: "I haven't been betting on the lottery yet. If I get the lottery, I'm not afraid that you won't be addicted."

"My mother, come and have a lottery ticket. Otherwise, it's not exciting to play. Anyway, it's all a family, and winning or losing doesn't matter. Don't you go to the outsiders' fields." Zhu Youlang said.

"There are good lucks, and there are good lucks. However, Chunlan's share is too low. She can afford to win, but she can't afford to lose." The empress dowager said with a smile.

When Zhu Youlang heard this, his mother had something to say. He hurriedly said, "Chunlan is very dedicated to serving the queen, so let's go to the selection service."

When Chunlan heard this, she knelt down and kowtowed: "I thank the emperor for his kindness."

Although the selection of servants is a relatively low status, he is already considered a master after all. He can be served by eunuchs and palace maids. In the future, he will have another son and half of his daughter. It would be a foregone conclusion to join the concubines.

Once this order was introduced, not only Chunlan was happy, but also the Empress Dowager and Wang Chang were happy.

Empress Dowager Ma was happy because her son understood what she said at once and listened to. Although the harem was not allowed to interfere in politics, she still had an influence on her son.

Wang Chang was happy because Chunlan was originally his big maid, named Master and servant, and was like a sister. The purpose of asking her to serve the emperor was to give her a name?

Wang Chang looked at Xia He, Qiu Ju, and Dong Mei with a smile, and thought to himself: "Chun Lan has entered the election service, you must work hard too."

The three of them understood what the queen meant and all lowered their heads shyly.

"Emperor, Chunlan has entered the election service, and the queen is short of people. She just needs manpower, give her Huaer. I have Qiner and the others here, which is enough." said Empress Dowager.

Huaer just entered the palace and was the niece of Empress Dowager Ma's parents' family.

"So that's it..." Zhu Youlang glanced at the strong palace maid standing beside the empress dowager and thought to himself.
