Volume 1: Who Have Seen Again, Chapter 289: Longer and Shorter (6)
If you want to say that the last time we met, it was a year ago, and Brother Keshou's identity was there, and seeing him once was enough to make people memorable.
Yang Shen's eyes widened, almost dazzling him.
Shen Rui had already spoken: "Big brother, Fifth Brother Xu, Brother Jue, this is my friends Gao Wenhu and Brother Shou, one thirteen, one twelve, younger than us......"
Speaking of this, he said to Gao Wenhu and Brother Shou: "This is my eldest brother, this is Cousin Yang's classmate Xu Wu, this is my younger brother Brother Jue, brother line three ......"
Yang Shen stood up, forcibly held back his uneasiness, and nodded to Gao Wenhu and Brother Shou.
Brother Shou's eyes wandered, and he smiled meaningfully at Yang Shen.
Shen Jue looked at Gao Wenhu's stature and sighed, "Wenhu is only thirteen? I thought my second brother was tall, but Wen Hu was half a head taller than his second brother......"
Xu Wu's gaze shifted from Gao Wenhu to Brother Shou.
Although Gao Wenhu is big, he doesn't look like a rich and noble son when he dresses up; On the contrary, the young one, with his chin raised, is quite impressive. Those shaded students who were born in the prince's mansion in the Guozi Prison are mostly like this in front of people.
But looking at Shen Rui's introduction order, this little boy doesn't look like he was born tall, what's going on?
He felt that he was a little uncertain.
However, he was not qualified to be snobbish when he came over to socialize and have fun with his cheeky face, so he followed Yang Zhongyan and listened to everyone's laughter.
It's Brother Shou, I heard that Xu Wu is the supervisor of the country, and his father is Xu Qiong, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites who returned to his hometown, so he took two more looks.
Xu Wu noticed Brother Shou's scrutiny, and knew in his heart that this Brother Shou was really the son of an official eunuch, otherwise he would not have heard his father's name.
When all the guests came, Shen Rui took everyone to the main room for a look.
Because Xu Wu came to the door for the first time, Xu had to give a gift.
Although Xu Wuping is a little confused, but seeing that everyone does not disdain and discriminate against him, the elder of the Xu family is also kind and gentle, so he is also well-behaved and honest.
When it was time to be grouped, everyone was willing to be in a group with Xu Wu.
His age is on the older side among the crowd, and his height looks good, much better than Yang Shen, He Taizhi, and Brother Shou.
Because of his identity, Xu Wu was pressed by his brothers and sisters at home, and he was also respected by his classmates in Guozijian, and he was a little excited when he was treated so warmly for the first time.
He didn't know which team he wanted to enter, he just felt that both teams were good, and he was afraid that he would be hated if he refused.
Shen Rui saw that he was embarrassed, so he said: "If you want to compete, you must always be evenly matched, otherwise if the strength is one-sided, it will not be interesting......"
He looked at everyone and said, "That's it, the third brother Quan, Wenhu in a group, Cousin Yang and Fifth Brother Xu in a group, the eldest brother and Brother Jue in a group, Zhong'an and Brother Shou in a group." For each group of rock-paper-scissors, the winner is a team, the loser is a team, exactly a team of four, and I will be a referee. ”
Everyone had no objections, and the winners and losers were divided according to the components.
The results came out, Shen Quan, Yang Zhongyan, Shen Jue, Shou Ge first team, Gao Wenhu, Xu Wu, Yang Shen, He Tai first team.
Because Shen Jue and Zhang Luo wanted to gamble on the lottery, Shen Rui asked the little guy to bring two trays up, one for each team, and everyone put something in it. When he arrived at Gao Wenhu, because he only had a purse on his body, Shen Rui put the purple gold lion on it, which was regarded as a colorful head for him.
Brother Shou glanced at Shen Rui and didn't say much.
The color head that Shen Quan took out was a jade horse pendant, Yang Zhongyan's gold ring, Shen Jue's was the small white jade beauty, and Brother Shou was a mutton fat jade safe and sound card; Xu Wu is a golden lock taken off his body, Yang Shen is a string of agarwood hand beads, He Taizhi is two golden flowers, and Gao Wenhu is a purple gold lion produced by Shen Rui.
Shen Jue stepped forward with great interest and gave everyone a throwing demonstration.
Before the official competition, everyone also stepped forward to try twice.
The twenty-pound "curling" is really not light for the two children He Taizhi and Brother Shou.
However, compared with He Taizhi's strength, Brother Shou is obviously much stronger.
He tried to throw twice, the first time without pressing the line and the second time he pressed the outer ring.
There are few types of winter games, and this game in front of me is the first time I have seen it, and everyone is interested in whether they usually like to move or not.
Shen Rui saw that everyone had started and tried to throw one after another, so he greeted and started the official game.
Sixteen curling stones, distinguished by the wooden handles above, eight red and eight green.
Shen Quan's team chose red, which is considered a red team; Gao Wenhu's team chose green, which is considered a green team.
The scoring method is the same as that of later generations, one person and two pots are thrown, and the team closest to the middle wins, and the score is also calculated according to the number of curling stones of the winning side before the losing side closes the line. Ten innings is a match, and wins and losses are calculated based on the number of points.
Shen Rui had already made a simple scoreboard directly, and it was also divided into red and green, and each side made a zero to nine pages of origami with cardboard.
Although everyone tried to throw, they played well, but when it came to the actual start, it was miserable.
It is common to throw directly outside the circle, or squeeze others, and both pots slide away.
Everyone is not used to using the ice brush, and they are all idle.
As a result, after the first game, the red team scored zero points, and the green team scored two points instead.
He Taizhi smiled proudly, and Yang Shen no longer paid attention to Brother Shou's side, looking at the circle base, calculating the way to win or lose.
Gao Wenhu honestly scratched the back of his head.
Xu Wu's face was also unconcealably happy.
Yang Zhongyan stomped his feet and said, "Your team won Wenhu and took a big advantage." If it weren't for Wen Hu's pot squeezing out the red pot in the red heart, our team would have won......"
Xu Wu got along with everyone for a while, and he was no longer restrained, he spoke openly, and said with a smile: "It's our luck to have Wenhu here." Luck can't be stopped, what's the way to do this......"
He smiled cheaply, but he was right about He Taizhi's temper.
He Taizhi nodded and said: "That's it, that's it, luck can't be stopped."
Shen Rui, the referee, after reading the score, had already turned the page on the scoreboard next to him, with zero zero on one side and zero two on the other.
Brother Shou snorted lightly: "Don't be complacent, there are still nine rounds."
Shen Jue remembered the effect of the ice brush next to him, took two, and talked about this with the team members.
At the beginning of the second game, the red team began to use the ice brush, but because of the initial use, it was in a hurry and had limited effect.
The green team looked like they were doing the same, and they also picked up the ice brush.
Compared to the red team, the ice brush has a bigger claim against the green team. Yang Shen and He Taizhi are both weak teenagers, lack of strength, and it is difficult to even press the curling line when throwing.
However, the scoring of curling is not calculated according to the number of curling stones in the circle, but the team closest to the center wins, and luck is really important.
So in the second game, after the green team ran out of good luck, it was the red team that won, and it was 3-0.
However, as everyone mastered the game, the red team and the green team were interspersed with wins.
Everyone is familiar with the ice brush, the throwing power is not the main thing, and the throwing skill is becoming more and more important
Due to the "evenly matched" on the field, the atmosphere of the game was also very strong.
Nine teenagers, plus a few people who followed up the courtyard to serve, the lively sound spread to the east courtyard.
The third master came to the ice rink to throw curling in the past two days, although he thought this game was interesting, but it was not a game after all, and he threw it away after playing twice.
Now listening to the bustle in the garden, the third master paced out.
Inside and outside the circle, there were already more than a dozen curling stones, and it was He Taizhi's turn to throw on the field, and the third master walked forward.
Although I had heard Shen Rui talk about the rules before, he didn't look real in front of him.
He Taizhi squatted down, looked ahead, and let out a long breath.
Xu Wu and Yang Shen each took an ice brush, and stood opposite each other in front of He Tai, concentrating on preparation.
Because He Taizhi threw the last two curling stones in the game, he wanted to decide the winner, so everyone else was also looking at the field intently.
For a while, no one noticed that the third master was coming.
Shen Rui was already standing next to the round base, looking at the curling stone position above, and now near the center was the red curling stone, and the green curling stone was relatively far away.
At this moment, I heard an "oops".
It turned out that He Taiyi was nervous and threw the curling stone crookedly, even if Yang Shen and Xu Wu were busy brushing the ice, the curling stone also ran off track, and they didn't even press the line.
He Taizhi knocked his head and picked up the second curling stone.
In plain sight, there are no miracles.
Although this curling stone pressed the line, the red team still won the game, and it was a big win, 3-0.
So far, seven rounds have been completed, and the red team has won four games and has eight points; The Green team won three games and scored five points.
Shen Rui rearranged the scoreboard, only to see the third master standing aside, and hurriedly said, "Third uncle"
The third master smiled: "It turns out that this is the way to play, and it is more interesting to see than to listen." But you are young, and a few feet is enough; If you play with adults, does this track need to be longer? ”
Shen Rui nodded: "Now the track is four zhang, if you change to an adult game, you can extend the road from six zhang to seven zhang......"
Everyone next to them also saw the third master and stepped forward to salute him.
Only Gao Wenhu, Brother Shou, and Xu Wu were the first time they saw the third master, and they fell behind everyone.
The third master was not attracted by the burly Gao Wenhu at first sight, but looked at the glittering Xu Wu.
Xu Wu had a golden flower in his ear, several gold rings on his hand, and the jade pendant hanging on his belt was also inlaid with gold edge.
This kind of dress is common in Beijing, but among Shen Rui's friends, I don't remember such a "Fulitang."
Yang Zhongyan saw the third master looking at Xu Wu, and hurriedly said: "Third uncle, this is Xu Wu, a fellow student of the nephew Guozijian, who came over with his nephew to play today......"
The third old man nodded with a smile: "It turned out to be Brother Yan's friend, but it looks like you when you were a child." ”
Yang Zhongyan laughed when he heard this, Xu Wusheng was afraid that others would look down on him, he only felt that dressing up like this was solemn, and he couldn't wait to put his body covered with gold, looking like a young master of a landlord in the countryside, where did he look like a scholar? Yang Zhongyan also loved these in his early years, and when he was older in the past two years, he stopped wearing them like this.
After the third master finished speaking, his eyes moved to Gao Wenhu and Brother Shou.
Although Gao Wenhu is clothed, the third master is not contemptuous.
Although he saw Gao Wenhu for the first time, he saw that this young man's height was different from ordinary people, so he could also match him: "This must be the Wenhu that Rui Ge often mentions......
Gao Wenhu smiled and bowed: "Boy Gao Wenhu, I've seen Third Uncle Shen......"
The third old man smiled and helped, raised his head and said: "What a good boy, this body to learn martial arts, it must be twice the result with half the effort"
Shen Rui saw that the third master had left Brother Shou, and he was afraid that he would not be able to wipe it off his face, so he hurriedly said: "Third uncle, this is Brother Shou, who came here with Wenhu, and is also a good friend of my nephew who met in the first half of the year......
The third old man looked at Brother Shou, and his heart was uncertain.
Although he had long known that there was a "Brother Shou" among his nephew's new friends, he didn't expect that this "Brother Shou" would be his "Brother Shou"
Teenage children are the time to grow their bodies. In more than a year, the boy has grown into a teenager, and there have been many changes. However, last year's meeting touched the third master deeply, which made the third master remember it vividly, and he really didn't dare to forget it......
