Zou Meichen didn't hear Zou Yichen's words, but he was actually entertaining his mother, and after listening to the conversation between the two, he couldn't help but laugh and said to his mother: "Mother, how are you a roundworm in someone else's stomach?" If someone else has roundworms in their stomachs, they know everything. ”

Wang's stomach was already full of fire, and when he heard his daughter say this, he couldn't help but be a little annoyed, and he wanted to reprimand his daughter, but suddenly remembered that there were outsiders next to him, and if someone else chewed off his tongue, it would be inappropriate. Then he replied: "Mother knows that you have been practicing paper kite diligently recently, and you want to win this game in one fell swoop." As he spoke, he took the hand of Zou Meichen, who was sitting next to him, and patted it gently.

Zou Meichen was very happy when she heard her mother say this.

Zou Yichen stared at his toes, pretending not to hear.

Suddenly, there was a violent jolt, and the side of the carriage seemed to be pressed by something, and it was suddenly lifted up, and then it fell hard.

Zou Yichen sat on the other side, clutching the railing tightly and not making a sound. But Zou Meichen was frightened, "Die!" ”。 As he spoke, he lifted the curtain from the carriage with his right hand and scolded the groom.

The groom hurriedly said, "Miss, just now there were a few naughty children rolling stones on the side of the road, and the stones accidentally rolled under the wheels, and the wheels ran over some bumps, damn the small ones." ”

Zou Meichen was a little rude and said, "Then don't you have long eyes, you won't walk around." He almost wanted to stick his head out and reason with the groom.

"Meichen, how can you talk like this, nonsense." Wang Shi said angrily, and turned to the horseman and said, "Master, the little girl is not sensible, please don't take it to heart." He lowered his clothes.

Zou Yichen lowered his eyes, and suddenly saw that Zou Meichen's paper kite was a little strange, and after a closer look, he found that there was a hole on the side of the paper kite at some point. She wanted to remind her, but when she thought about it, "This person is so rude, if he tells her, he will definitely embarrass the groom again." "Just think about it.

The location of the paper kite contest and the flower viewing banquet is arranged in a garden resort outside the city. Many young ladies and sons went with fine wine and paper kites.

In the depths of the garden resort, the flowers on the drunken shelves sway in the wind, and from time to time a few bees collect nectar among the stamens. There are several low stone tables next to the shelf, each with a resemblance of raw candy and lion candy in the middle, and sixteen plates of fresh fruits are delicately placed around it. The stone table has no seating, not that the stone table is not matched, but that Master Hou ordered the child servant to collect the fallen flowers and spread them on the ground, so that the guests can sit on it.

A few feet away, there are musicians playing and singing and acrobatic performances.

Master Hou saw everyone sitting together in twos and threes, raised his glass and smiled: "All the high-ranking officials in the neighborhood, Hou thank you for coming." He raised his glass and drank it all. He continued: "This flower viewing banquet is extraordinary, leaving the old and pushing the new, so a new paper kite competition has been added. Each household can nominate several people to participate, and the winner will receive a stable and several good horses. The paper kite contest starts after a stick of incense, and we can sit here and watch the competition while enjoying the flowers. As he spoke, he pointed to the northeast direction straight ahead.

Everyone looked in the direction of Master Hou's finger, and saw that the trees on the other side of the lake were sparse and low, which was very suitable for paper kites.

Everyone exchanged heads and talked about it.

"Miss, did you tell the second lady this morning? Did the second lady agree to let us participate in the competition? Zi Nan leaned into Zou Yichen's ear and whispered. for fear of being heard by the twin sons Zou Jichen and Zou Xiangchen next to him.

"My mother received the letter early in the morning, and sent me away in a hurry, but she didn't allow me to speak. I think we don't participate, just enjoy the flowers here and watch the sunset. ”

On the other side, Jia Dongxia, the eldest daughter of the Jia family, saw that several young ladies of the Zou family were also sitting under the flower stand, and walked over to Zou Xiangchen and said, "Sister Xiangchen, why didn't you participate in the paper kite competition with your two sisters?" Jia Dongxia looks beautiful, has a sweet voice, and is full of smiles.

Zou Xiangchen said with a smile: "My sister and I only have a paper kite, which was accidentally broken a few days ago, but now this paper kite is rare to see, and it was bought by a powerful person before it was hung out." As for Sister Yichen, you also know that she is a concubine, and she lives in the outer courtyard, so naturally everything is known at the latest, and there are naturally no things. Zou Xiangchen suddenly felt that he was a little rude in front of outsiders, and hurriedly added: "Fortunately, Sister Yichen doesn't like paper kites, and she doesn't care about this kind of thing." ”

"In this way, I think you are the same as me, it is because of the wind and cold that I missed this paper kite competition." Jia Dongqing stuck out his tongue.

"It's still early for the paper kite competition, at the moment, let's enjoy the flowers and wine first, and see whose cup only has petals in it, and we will invite him to drink." Saying that, Grandpa Hou also sat on the petal ball.

Everyone at the table had a glass of wine in front of them, and after Master Hou finished speaking, everyone picked up their own glasses and looked inside.

"There are petals, there are petals." Zou Jichen pointed to Zou Meichen's cup and pretended to exclaim.

It turned out that Zou Xiangchen had already seen the petals on the shelf in his wine glass, and secretly changed the wine glass while Zou Yichen was not paying attention. She wanted to secretly tease Zou Yichen, but when Master Hou said this, it was a matter of pushing the boat along the river.

Zou Meichen raised his wine glass and waved his sleeves to hide his face, and drank the wine containing flower petals into his stomach.

"Okay" As everyone says yes together, the game continues to the next person.

After a while, many people's cheeks turned crimson.

"Mother," Zou Meichen hurriedly ran over with sweat in his face.

Wang thought to himself, "This girl should be putting paper kites by the lake, why did she come here?" ”

"I, I ......"

"What's wrong?"

"I just released the paper kite, and I can't ride the wind for half a day. Picking it up, I found that the paper kite had broken a big hole at some point. The judge over there said that if the paper kite was broken, it would naturally not be able to participate in the competition. I had no choice but to come back. Zou Meichen was a little frustrated.

Zou Yichen saw Zou Meichen come back, and knew a thing or two in his heart, got up and walked towards the Wang family.

"Mother. The little girl has a good paper kite, which can be taken by Sister Meichen to participate in the competition. As he was talking, Zou Yichen's maid Zhining came with a rack of paper kites.

Wang looked at Zou Yichen suspiciously, and thought: "This little girl, she loves to fight against me if she has nothing to do, but now she wants my daughter to make a fool of herself with this paper kite of unknown origin?" ”

Just as he was thinking, Zhi Ning came with a paper kite and said, "This is the paper kite that my young lady made all night." ”

When Wang heard this, he sneered in his heart, "Sure enough, it's really a joke to take a paper kite made by myself and want my daughter to make a fool of herself in public!" ”

"Oh? There's this craft. Master Hou said that he had arrived at Zhining's side, picked up the paper kite and looked at it. He saw a small section of bamboo on the paper kite, and there were six small holes in the bamboo, and he thought, "Although the technique is not delicate enough, it can be said to stand out from the crowd." But I don't know what these six holes mean? ”

Seeing that Master Hou looked up and down left and right, Wang did not want to praise the meaning of this paper kite, but frowned slightly, and even more determined that this paper kite was Zou Yichen sincerely wanted to see himself ugly, if it was used for his daughter, wouldn't it make people see a joke.

Wang thought about it for a while and had an idea, and said with a smile: "Since this is Yichen's painstaking efforts all night, can Master Hou let my little daughter participate?"

When Master Hou heard what Wang said, he smiled and said: "Wang is polite, anyone can participate in this competition, but now there is only half a pillar of incense before the start, and the little girl is afraid that it will be a little late." As he spoke, he handed the paper kite to Zou Yichen.

How could the Wang family let go of this opportunity to teach this girl a lesson, and said with a smile: "Master Hou, compared to the paper kite, who flies the highest in the end, doesn't Master Hou believe that my little girl can win this game?" ”

As soon as Master Hou heard that it made sense, he ordered someone to quickly take Zou Yichen to the place where the paper kite was placed, but the matter in his heart had not yet been solved.

Zou Yichen did not rush to release the paper kites when he got off the horse, but first observed the release trajectory of many paper kites. I saw that these paper kites were of different shapes and sizes. There are swallows that can't fly, frogs that are entangled, and beauties that are cut off by the thread and go away with the wind......

Zou Yichen ignored this, but plucked out a trace of his green hair and threw it in the air. After a moment, Zou Yichen had an idea.

She looked at Zhining and motioned for her to take the paper kite lightly and stand in the southeast position. He stood in the northwest direction and pulled the paper kite line.

She pulled a little harder, Zhining let go of her hand, only to see the paper kite soaring into the air, Zou Yichen ran in small steps for more than a few feet, and then put the paper kite firmly in the air.

It didn't take long for Zou Yichen to have two paper kites directly above him, they were very close to each other, Zou Yichen thought to himself: "If I don't leave this area, if the two paper kites are entangled, I am afraid that if they fall, my paper kites will be affected." ”
