The Great Wei Music Bureau

Chapter 125: Spring Chapter No Rest

Last time we talked about Tao Zhongwen telling Li Yi about the heavenly tribulation, and also popularized the history of the development of the heavenly way and human race. So what will Li Yi do next? Let’s take a look together.

Li Yi was very impressed, so he bowed to Tao Zhongwen and thanked him. His family also came to the Gentleman's Pavilion. After some greetings, Tao Zhongwen began to prepare dinner for Li Yi's family. Li Yi specifically told the ladies to treat Tao Zhongwen well and not to let the old silver coin exchange for a holy object for a meal. The three ladies were of course obedient.

In fact, they didn't take anything. Shiyu picked out a calligraphy piece, Bailing took an ancient music score, and Zhao Hanfeng didn't find anything he liked, but he still followed Li Yi's instructions and observed the micro-expressions of the old silver coin. In the end, he took away a landscape painting that made Tao Zhongwen's mouth tremble.

After experiencing the robbery by the Li Clan, Tao Zhongwen finally bid farewell to Li Yi's family with tears in his eyes. Before leaving, he said, "Xiuyuan, tomorrow is the Chinese New Year, so I wish you a happy new year in advance. Don't come to see me during your off-duty period. You really ate a lot of food and took a lot of things. I just want to be alone and have some peace and quiet during the Chinese New Year."

Li Yi smiled and said, "Sir, you are being polite. You are the elder and I am the younger. How can I not come to visit you during the New Year?"

Tao Zhongwen was shocked and said, "No, no, no, I can't afford your visit. Your gift is too expensive. I can't pay it back!"

Li Yi became even happier and said, "Then I'll come empty-handed!"

Tao Zhongwen was so angry that he almost blew his beard: "When did you not come here empty-handed? And then you came up with something inexplicably. You also know that I am old and can't stand your tossing and turning. Just let me spend the New Year in peace!"

Li Yi insisted, "Sir, I'm not saying anything too much. Money is just a thing outside of one's body. Take this calligraphy, painting and music score for example. How much are they worth? They are not worth much at all! The things on the table were used by saints. If you are short of money, you might as well sell them and see if you can get back these things."

Tao Zhongwen said sternly, "Don't talk nonsense. The things of the saints cannot be measured by gold and silver! Don't make such jokes again in the future. If someone with ulterior motives hears it, I will accuse you of disrespecting the saints."

Li Yi smiled and said, "It doesn't matter. It's all about actions, not words. If you don't speak from the heart, it's like being flattering. If you don't act from the heart, you have bones but no muscles!"

Tao Zhongwen asked: "What does it mean to be empty-handed?"

Li Yi smiled, patted his butt and said, "Bullshit!" Then he took his family away in the car.

Tao Zhongwen smiled with satisfaction as he watched Li Yi go away. At this moment, a servant approached Tao Zhongwen and said, "Master, are we really not going to invite Lord Li to our Gentleman's Pavilion during the New Year?"

Tao Zhongwen stroked his beard and smiled, "No more invitations, no more invitations. If this brat conjures up something else, with his rogue nature, he will definitely empty out my Gentleman's Pavilion!"

The servant smiled and said, "I guess the master will still invite Lord Li. He is the young man you value most!"

Tao Zhongwen laughed and scolded, "You are the only one who knows the most! Forget it, we'll talk about it later. Right now, we have something important to do!"

The servant asked, "It's so late, what are you busy with, Master?"

Tao Zhongwen walked to the pen holder, bent down, put his face close to examine it carefully, then stroked his beard and smiled, "Of course I have to think about how to invite those corrupt scholars to my Gentleman's Pavilion to broaden their horizons! I can't wait to see their envious expressions! Hahaha!"

………………………………Gorgeous dividing line………………………………

On the 30th day, the Li Mansion was decorated with lights and Shiyu rewarded the servants. Everyone in the mansion was full of smiles, but Li Yi always felt that something was missing. He thought about it and wondered if it was because there was no Spring Festival Gala. So in order to adjust the atmosphere, he arranged for the whole family to make dumplings together.

This made the three ladies very worried. They were good at housework but not in the kitchen. If it weren't for Xiao Ye, they would have to spend the New Year's Eve just making the dumplings, and the whole family would have to spend the New Year hungry!

Li Yi finally took charge of the family. He assigned tasks to the women in the family, and gave the most capable job, Xiao Ye, to knead the dough. Xiao Ye shook her head and sighed, "You really care more about your wife than your sister. Give me this most strenuous and tiring job!"

Li Yi chuckled and gave the job of rolling the dough to Shiyu and Bailing, while Yuehua and Hanfeng were responsible for wrapping it. Of course, the work of making the dough and mixing the stuffing was done by the servants, otherwise they would not be able to have this meal.

Li Yi was standing by with his legs crossed to supervise. How could the workers let him be so idle? After some bargaining, Li Yi played the guitar and sang to cheer them up. He smiled as he watched the women working over there, while he played and sang:

We climbed over a mountain and turned a bend.

The white clouds and the blue sky are lifted up, and I stride forward with my eyes wide open to the flat plain.

Thanks to the love of the world, it has been passed down for tens of millions of years.

Neighbors and friends are all smiling, and the spring is warm and joyful in dreams and waking life.

The flowers bloom bright red on the hills, and the green mountains and clear waters do not care what year it is.

Winter has come again and I am away from home. Thank you for your concern, my dearest one.

The small tree in front of the door has grown into an adult, blocking the sudden wind and rain.

The women in your family are as sweet as dough and will stay with you forever through the years.

After Xiao Yueyue made the song "The Closest Person" popular on the Spring Festival Gala, Li Yi never watched the Spring Festival Gala again. This is the latest Spring Festival Gala song he can remember besides "Unforgettable Tonight". Fortunately, this song is indeed festive and gradually brings the atmosphere of the New Year.

After singing several songs in a row, Li Yi finally realized why he didn't feel the atmosphere of the New Year, because there was no mahjong! So he put down his guitar and ran out. Shiyu shouted, "Husband, where are you going?"

Without even turning his head he replied, "I'm going to go get you some entertainment! You guys keep packing, I'll be back soon!"

More than an hour later, Li Yi came back with a large piece of white jade. Everyone gathered around him. Shi Yu asked, "Husband, why did you bring back a piece of jade?"

Li Yi smiled and said, "Just wait and see! Yue'er, get the carving knife, Xing'er, get a basin of water, Han Feng, get your sword, Shi Yu, get the ruler, Xiao Ye, get some rags, you will have work to do later."

Yuehua said unhappily, "Ah? What are you still doing? Shouldn't we rest during the New Year? Why do I feel more tired during the New Year than usual? I don't want to work anymore! Can't you let me go back to my room and lie down for a while?"

Li Yi said seriously: "Either do this, or you will be responsible for cooking dumplings later. Make your choice!" Yuehua lowered her head and sat aside in a huff.

After everything was prepared, Li Yi measured the ruler and marked the size according to his memory. He then used the Vajra Magic Power, drew his sword, summoned an air shield on the blade, and controlled the thickness and high-frequency vibration of the air shield. Thus, the artificial cutting machine was born.

He carefully began to cut the stone, and all the grinding and polishing were done by hand. After watching for a while, they felt it was boring and went to rest, waiting for Li Yi to give the order to start cooking dumplings in the evening.

Li Yi didn't say anything and just worked on his own. He didn't even have lunch. After more than two hours of hard work, he finally made 136 mahjong tiles. He spent another two hours carving the words and drawing the pictures. In total, he spent a whole day to finally complete a major project.

He happily came to the ladies with a set of mahjong in his hands, but they were sitting together eating dumplings.

Li Yi was not angry. He hadn't eaten or drunk anything for a whole day. Shi Yu couldn't bear to disturb him so focused. But everyone was so hungry that they ignored Li Yi and cooked the dumplings by themselves.

Shiyu asked Li Yi: "Husband, you are busy all day during the New Year. What are you doing? What are these small stones for?"

Li Yi said proudly while eating dumplings: "This is the quintessence of the Chinese nation!"

Bai Ling asked curiously, "National quintessence?"

Li Yi drank the wine in his glass, swallowed the food in his mouth and said, "Eat quickly. After you finish eating, I will teach you. I guarantee you will like it! This is the most interesting entertainment activity in my hometown!"

Xiao Ye asked, "Where is your home? You and I are not from the same place?"

Bai Ling agreed, "That's right, I haven't seen this thing in Qing'an City either."

Li Yi realized that this trick would not work in front of Bai Ling and Xiao Ye, so he said: "This is a newly developed game. It was not promoted in time, and the war broke out. So it's normal that you haven't seen it! But it doesn't matter, now that peace has come, this thing can see the light of day again!"

Due to Li Yi's wolfing down and repeated urging, the New Year's Eve dinner was eaten in a sloppy manner, which made Shiyu very dissatisfied. She kept muttering in Li Yi's ear, saying that this year was boring and she couldn't even eat a meal in peace, and it was all his fault.

Li Yi wanted to play mahjong, but suddenly he had an idea and said with a smile: "My wife, go get some pen and paper, I will write a poem for this Spring Festival." Shi Yu was naturally happy to hear that her husband wanted to write a poem, this was her best style. Li Yi picked up the pen and wrote:

With the sound of firecrackers a year old, the spring breeze sent warmth to Tusu.

Thousands of families always exchange new peaches for old ones.

After receiving the new work, Shi Yu naturally calmed down, and her eyes looked at Li Yi with much kinder feelings, just like a couple who had been married for ten years and had just paid their dues, with the wife looking very satisfied.

After calming down Shiyu, who was the most capable person, Li Yi started to teach mahjong. It was actually very difficult to get excited about playing mahjong with his three wives, because the winnings and losses all involved his family's money, so Li Yi used a little trick and deliberately gave the three ladies some trouble.

After everyone fired a few shots, the ladies saw the money and it really went into their pockets, and that's when things started to turn around. Shiyu learned faster, while Bailing and Hanfeng were a little slower. Li Yi was worried that they wouldn't be able to play mahjong well in the future, so he brought Xiaoye in as a backup player, and he coached her off the court.

As a result, just when Xiao Ye learned it and the four women started to fight with real money, the atmosphere on the field changed.

It is said that there are no fathers and sons in the casino, and now there are no sisters! The scene was very tense for a while, because the women began to calculate. When they carefully studied and analyzed the cards of their opponents, they played each card very carefully and very slowly. Li Yi was very dissatisfied with this, because it lost the fun of playing mahjong.

Playing mahjong is a form of entertainment and relaxation. Why make it so tense? So Li Yi created an atmosphere and recited some mahjong sutras, saying things like "you must pinch seven, stick eight, and five when you get one"; "it's better to touch a card than to have one pass in front of the door"; "you get two chicks at a time"; and then he started teaching the women how to play with their mindsets, elevating the game of mahjong to a psychological game, with all kinds of deceptions and performances.

Li Yi can be said to have shared all his experience in playing mahjong in his previous life, but what is amazing is that these four women are really extraordinary. Li Yi only taught them theoretical knowledge, but they have already started to practice. They started to speak the little language on the table, play the little routines, and use the little tricks.

Shi Yu said to Li Yi, "My husband, please come and help me check. I already have three 70,000s. Is it difficult for me to win another 70,000?"

Li Yi naturally replied: "That's nonsense, hurry up and change your mind!" As a result, as soon as Shiyu bet 80,000, Bailing followed with 70,000. Shiyu shouted: "It's a tie!"

Bai Ling immediately shouted, "Didn't you change your listening skills?"

Shi Yu smiled and said, "Oh, I haven't finished changing yet. I have two 80,000 in my hand, so I just hit one!"

Not long after, Xiao Ye tapped the four six-cakes in the deck, and then played a five-cake. Han Feng immediately played a seven-cake. Xiao Ye excitedly said, "It's a tie!"

In this situation, the four women showed their true nature. Bai Ling finally understood and said to Li Yi: "My husband, when I hit seven, they will know that I am with eight. Didn't you say that when you hit seven, eight will stick to it, and when you hit five, you must pinch it."
