Transformed into a furry person, I am doing public relations in the Northern Song Dynasty

She has always been treated well by Mr. Zhao, so how can she ask him for help in the future? She hasn't even thanked him last time, and now she owes him another favor.

If this is according to what is sung in the opera script, I am afraid I can only promise myself.

But even if he promised to marry her, she would still be getting a great advantage.

It’s really killing me!

"We have to go to Daxiangguo Temple to worship tomorrow. Mercury has been going against our will lately."

Ning Shiyin wiped Liu Yunqing's hair, answered, and turned around to invite him to join her.

After waiting for about quarter of an hour, Mao'er knocked on the door again, and Ning Shiyin went over to take the clothes.

I don't know whether it was because Mr. Zhao gave a lot of money or because he was very considerate, but he not only asked people to buy her clothes, shoes and socks, but also prepared new hairbands and hairpins for her.

Liu Yunxi took the silver hairpin and looked at it carefully for a while.

Well, Mr. Zhao is careful.

The hairpin is made of several apricot blossoms gathered together. Mr. Zhao is really mischievous, but he still remembers the time when a man disguised himself as a woman to deceive him.

Liu Yunqing lost a shoe and a hairpin, but she had no choice but to wear them even though she knew that Mr. Zhao was mischievous. After she had packed up, Liu Yunqing went out with Ning Shiyin, and Lao Maoer took them to see Mr. Zhao.

But before he could see anyone, Zhong Langjun from Ning Shiyin's family came with the child.

This is sticky!

Ning Shiyin stamped her feet, complaining but her face was full of joy.

Liu Yunqing felt that she was fine, so she asked Ning Shiyin to go back on their small pleasure boat first. The matter of incense paper was not over yet, and she had to go to the paper mill tomorrow, so she could talk about it later if there was anything.

Ning Shiyin was a little hesitant, but thinking that Mr. Zhao was a gentleman and that he had some friendship with Yunqing, she left after being persuaded by others.

Now Liu Yunqing was the only one left. She didn't know how to face people, so she took a deep breath and followed Mao'er.

After going upstairs and passing through several curtained doors, I could smell the faint orchid fragrance burning in the incense burner before I even went through. After passing through another door, I saw that the lights were brightly lit. Mr. Zhao was still sitting at the low table by the window on the third floor.

Seeing her coming, he took a quick look at her face and then asked her to sit opposite him.

"I see that Madam Liu is still pale, so why not ask the doctor to come and take a look."

Liu Yunqing politely declined: "Don't bother me, sir. I was just startled and I will take it easy. I am really sorry for disturbing your and Mr. Zhao Si's fun. I wanted to thank you, but now..."

Zhao Chengyan smiled and asked Mao'er to bring him a small red clay stove. Without even looking at Liu Yunqing, he made tea by himself.

"Madam Liu, please don't be polite anymore. You have already thanked me enough today. If you really said something wrong, Silang and I will have to apologize to you. I have already asked him to go back, so that he won't make mistakes again."

"It's just you and me now. Madam Liu, if you don't mind, please have some tea and calm down before leaving. If you go back like this, I'm afraid your mother and sisters will worry."

Liu Yunqing's hair was half wet and her face was pale. She had looked in a bronze mirror before coming here, so she had no idea what her face looked like.

Seeing how meticulous Mr. Zhao was, she felt that she was really close to him when she was a cat, so she sat down as he said and watched him prepare his tea.

He grabbed a handful of dates, wolfberries and longans with his slender fingers and put them in. After the aroma of these three things came out, he put in a piece of brown sugar, poured a cup and pushed it in front of Liu Yunqing.

Seeing that he didn't drink it, Liu Yunqing realized that this was the tea that Mr. Zhao made especially for her, and the small red clay stove was not far from her. In just a short while of making tea, she was warmed up and her palms were no longer sweaty.

When Liu Yunqing raised the cup to drink tea, the knot on his wrist was exposed. It was hard to see clearly as he raised and lowered it, but the color was similar to the necklace he put on Tuan'er.

Zhao Chengyan took a glance, didn't want to look at it for too long, and thought for a while.

"Does Madam Liu know how to play backgammon?"

Liu Yunqing shook his head: "I just watched others play it and enjoyed the fun, but I have never tried it myself."

Zhao Chengyan didn't mind. He was not interested in playing. He just wanted to take a closer look at what Madam Liu was wearing on her wrist. It was an illusion last time. This time, after taking a good look, he would not misunderstand again.

"It's simple, I'll teach you."

Liu Yunqing was a little surprised at how easy-going and friendly Mr. Zhao was towards her, but since he was interested, there was no harm in playing a game.

He was seen getting up from the cushion and getting off the couch. He went to the shelf to look for the chessboard in his footwear without shoes. For some reason, he looked impatient.

He first pulled out a rectangular backgammon board, which was quite traditional, with two players each holding the white horse and the black horse. Then he thought of something and put it back, then took out a parchment scroll.

This means he is not going to play the old version of Backgammon with a newbie like her, but is going to play the upgraded version of Backgammon called “Promotion Map”!

She asked Mao'er to move the low table between them and place the huge promotion chart in the middle. Before the spinning top and chess pieces were placed, she listened to Mr. Zhao explaining the rules to her.

This promotion chart is a bit similar to Monopoly in later generations.

The parchment scroll is filled with grids of official titles of varying sizes, usually starting with "Bai Ding", which means no official position or rank, and is the very first grid.

Follow this grid one by one, and walk in circles from the outside until you reach the middle, which is the highest official position in the picture.

Generally, they are the positions of "Three Dukes", such as "Grand Tutor", "Grand Protector" and "Grand Preceptor". Whoever reaches here first wins.

The top responsible for moving forward and backward is a long-handled gyroscope, which is divided into four parts with the words "Virtue, Talent, Merit, and Zang" written on it. These four symbols represent the four performances of an official. The person moves according to the word that is facing up.

When you spin the top, if it represents "virtue, talent, and merit", it will move forward, and if it represents "dirt", it will move backward. Therefore, this game also has educational significance, warning people that officials should not be corrupt or abuse the power.

This is much simpler than the traditional backgammon game of white horse and black horse, and Liu Yunqing got the hang of it right away.

Liu Yunqing had never played this with anyone before. At first, he knelt on the cushion opposite Mr. Zhao somewhat stiffly, but later he relaxed and crossed his legs.

She forgot about it while sitting cross-legged, and thought she was a cat, so she raised one leg. Later, she got tired of sitting, so she hugged the cushion and lay on the low couch, with her two feet in snow-white footwear dangling.

Although she was wearing pants under her skirt, her casual posture made Mr. Zhao dare not look at her for even a second.

In the end, he lost three games in a row, and Mr. Zhao didn't even see clearly whether the necklace worn by Madam Liu was Tuan'er's. He was very depressed.

This promotion chart is also a kind of "gambling game". It would be boring if you don't bet on winning or losing.

He didn't want to ask for anything from Madam Liu, so he initially said that the loser would have two bowls of tea, which was not too difficult.

Who would have thought that this would actually be a trap for him? Two bowls in one game, he drank six bowls in a row. He had been drinking with Zhao Shijin before, but now he didn't want to play anymore and just went downstairs to relieve himself!
