Chapter 60: A Hundred Birds and a Phoenix

Ye Yu looked back and saw Su Yueyun staring intently at the high platform, thinking that Su Yueyun was attracted by the lanterns on the stage, so he quipped: "In comparison, this lotus lantern is much inferior......

"Eh, Brother Yu, you misunderstood, Yue Yun likes this lotus lamp very much!"

Su Yueyun, who came back to her senses, naturally understood what Ye Yu meant, so she went on to explain: "Yueyun is the woman in the stands, and the butterfly silver hairpin on her bun looks very good under the light......

"Oh? Isn't that ......?"

Ye Yu raised his eyebrows slightly, raised his eyes to look at the woman on the high platform, although he was far away and couldn't see the appearance clearly, but the butterfly silver hairpin on the bun danced its wings slightly with his posture, shining by the light.

Seeing that Yue Yun loved this silver hairpin so much, Ye Yu lowered his head and thought a little.

At this time, the comparison of the lanterns of the five people on the stage gradually came to fruition, and the four judges unanimously felt that only Ye Mingming's 'Four Hoofs Flying Horse Lantern' and another girl's 'Phoenix Wearing Peony Lantern' were of the highest quality. As for who is the first between the two, it is difficult to judge the result for a while.

Ye Zhizhi glanced at the girl in front of him, if he put it on weekdays, he might give her three points for the sake of this woman's beauty, but today no matter what, he will win the first place in this lantern competition.

So he first saluted Yue Lin and the four judges, and then said confidently: "There are still some wonders in this lamp, please take a look!" ”

Ye Zhizhi said and moved on the lantern, and then everyone saw this Pegasus lantern, and suddenly the clouds and mist below were like clouds.

This also applies the name of this lamp, and the four hooves are like flying like clouds, which makes people have to admire the wonderfulness of this lamp.

One of the judges stood up and stroked his beard and exclaimed: "Sure enough, there is a lot of smoke in the lamp, and the thin and transparent lamp paper at the bottom just shows the feeling of mist brought by the smoke, which is really wonderful!" Wonderful! ”

Then another judge also stood up and nodded in admiration: "That's true! The old man built yΓ¬ selected this lamp as the leader of this year, I don't know what you think? ”

As soon as these words came out, the rest of the people also nodded frequently in agreement. And at this moment, the girl who had not spoken for a long time spoke: "Wait! ”

Ye Zhizhi raised his eyebrows and chuckled, "Oh? Could it be that the girl can't be recruited from behind? ”

"Childe is right, judges, the little woman's phoenix wearing a peony lamp is not as simple as it seems!"

As the girl spoke, she put the lantern on the table next to her and twisted it slightly, and then everyone turned their eyes to the phoenix peony lamp.

I saw this lantern, after the girl's jade hand left, the peony that was still closed gradually opened at this moment, and with the blooming of the peony, accompanied by a faint fragrance permeating the entire high platform. Under the reflection of the lights, the blooming peonies are even more delicate and moving.

"This ......"

Both of them showed the uniqueness of the lanterns before and after, and now it is difficult to choose, after all, the two have their own advantages in terms of novelty. At this time, Yue Lin first glanced at the girl, and then spoke: "This official thinks that this 'four-hoofed wind and pegasus lantern' should be the first!" ”

"Thank you for your love!" Ye Mingming's nervous heart suddenly relaxed, and he saluted Yue Lin with a happy face.

However, the girl on the side was very unconvinced, and snorted coquettishly: "Third uncle, your judgment in order to avoid suspicion is commendable, but you have lost the original justice and fairness!" ”

"Forehead......" The girl's words immediately caused an uproar, and at this time everyone knew that the woman in front of them was actually the niece of Lord Zhizhou.

"Sanniang, don't mess around!" Yue Lin's face was cold, and he said helplessly in his majesty. Facing the niece in front of him, he was really helpless.

Yue Sanniang was still unwilling to back down, and said very stubbornly: "Third uncle, please also review fairly, otherwise my niece will not be convinced!" ”

"You! ……”

"My lord, after many discussions, the four judges all believe that these two lanterns are ingenious and indistinguishable, so we unanimously agree that these two lanterns are tied for the top spot this year!"

Since the four judges had already spoken, Yue Lin couldn't say anything, so he had to let his niece win the first place.

Ye Yu, who was in the audience, saw that this was the result, so he touched his chin and pondered for a while, and then whispered a few words to She Dongcheng beside him. After listening to Ye Yu's instructions, She Dongcheng left here in a hurry.

On the stage at this time, the judges were about to announce the results, and Ye Yu said in a loud voice: "My lord, Xiaomin came to participate in the Lantern Conference, I don't know if it's too late?" ”

Then the crowd automatically separated on both sides, and Su Yueyun pushed Ye Yu to the front of the stage. Yue Lin didn't expect Ye Yu to come here, but then he ordered the guards to lead Ye Yu to the high platform. This move is not because of Ye Yu's high status, but because if there is no one to help this high platform, Ye Yu will not be able to come to power at all because of his disability.

"Xiaomin has seen adults!" After Ye Yu ascended the high platform, he respectfully saluted Yue Lin.

Yue Lin smiled kindly and said, "The official still thinks that you have returned to Qingliu County, why, you also want to participate in this lantern competition?" ”

"Since the purpose of the adults is to have fun with the people, how can the small people not be happy! I just don't know what the reward for this winner is? ”

"Although the official is presiding over this conference, the conference is organized by the shopkeeper of the four major lantern societies in this state. And within the next year, whoever goes to the lamp shop to choose the lantern will not take a penny! ”

After listening to Yue Lin's explanation, Ye Yu roughly understood the rules of the game, and the four major lanterns of the heart were so generous. With such an enticing reward, it's no wonder so many people participate.

"Xiaomin intends to participate in this conference, I wonder if you and the judges can wait for a while?"

"Do you really want to participate?"

"Exactly!" Ye Yu said solemnly.

Su Yueyun, who was behind her, tugged at Ye Yu's sleeve with a complicated expression, and said in a low voice: "How can we have lanterns......"

Ye Yu patted Yueyun's hand lightly, and smiled mysteriously: "Not at the moment, won't it be there in a while?" ”

After speaking, he ignored Su Yueyun's doubts and puzzlement, but respectfully said to Yue Lin: "Although the four judges unanimously believe that these two are tied for the first place this year!" But Xiaomin thinks that these two lanterns are not good! ”

Hiss!

As soon as these words came out, the audience was silent, and the four judges couldn't help but cast their eyes on Ye Yu. Even Ye Mingming, who had always been at odds with Ye Yu, couldn't help but be stunned after hearing this.

"Don't be ashamed! Arrogant! Yue Sanniang glanced at Ye Yu, and then said with a look of disdain.

Yue Sanniang's words expressed Ye Mingzhi's heart, and also the voices of everyone present, who sneered at Ye Yu's arrogant words. One of the judges looked displeased and said, "In your opinion, what is a good product?" ”

Ye Yu's words were undoubtedly slapping the faces of the four judges, how could he not let the four judges look gloomy.

However, Yue Lin was very interested, although he had not been in contact with Ye Yu for a long time, but he gave him the feeling of wit and calmness. Today, Ye Yu took the initiative to release such wild words, and he must not be unprepared.

"As for the good product, it depends on whether the judges give it the next chance?"

"Good! I'll see what you think of it! The four judges said in unison.

At this time, She Dongcheng, who turned back, led a few people and hurriedly came to the venue, and the few people who came with him were holding a lot of materials for making zuΓ² lanterns. Ye Yu then instructed everyone to divide labor and cooperate, and each performed its own duties and carried out various parts of the lantern.

"This girl, you just said that Ye is not ashamed, so why don't you make a bet with you!" At this time, Ye Yu took the opportunity to come to Yue Sanniang's approach.

Yue Sanniang frowned slightly, and said vigilantly: "What are you betting on?" ”

"It's very simple, if you are making zuΓ² lanterns that are not as good as your 'phoenix wearing peony', I am willing to apologize to you for my previous arrogance and apologize to you in person!"

"Oh?" When Yue Sanniang heard this, her eyes couldn't help but light up.

Ye Yu paused for a moment, and then changed his words and continued: "If you win the girl by luck in Xia, you will have to ask for an ornament on the girl!" Rest assured, this ornament will not embarrass the girl! ”

"Good! I promise you! Yue Sanniang happily responded to this gamble, for her, there are no valuable accessories in plain clothes today.

At this time, Ye Yu commanded She Dongcheng and others to gather the bamboo strips into a small hill, and he pasted the mountain-shaped bamboo strips with earth-colored paper on the side.

Immediately, more than 60 small birds were pasted with paper, and Su Yueyun, who was good at sketching birds, fish and insects, was on the side to help with it, while he sketched the appearance of the mountain in a slow and orderly manner.

After about half an hour, a large-scale lantern appeared in front of everyone's eyes:

There were bare trees on the paper-covered mountain, and a hundred small birds fell on the branches, and a phoenix stood among them.

These 100 little birds have all kinds of postures, some open their mouths, some fanning their wings, some twisting their heads, and some of them cocking their tails... There is a string tied to the bottom of the bird, and a copper coin falls under the string, and as long as the slightest wind blows, the bird moves, as if it were alive.

In the belly of the little bird, which was held up by the bamboo strips, there was a small candle in each of them, but it was not lit at the moment.

When it was ready, Ye Yu said to everyone and the four judges: "Under this lamp, it is called Hundred Birds and Chaofeng!" I wonder what you think? ”

"Although it is vivid, it is not much more clever than the two lights......

"That's right, although the idea is unique, but the hasty system is inevitably flawed!"

"Instead of being on par with the first two lights, it's slightly inferior......"

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

The evaluation of the four judges was very low, and the onlookers did not see the novelty, so they sighed and accused Ye Yu of being arrogant.

Ye Mingzhi stood aside and sneered as if watching a good show: "Ye Yu, you are humiliating yourself!" Why bother? ”

"This son, you should admit defeat!" Yue Sanniang's originally cold face showed a hint of mockery.

Facing everyone's disdain, Ye Yu laughed heartily: "You should know the truth of the Phoenix Nirvana's rebirth from the ashes!" It's too arbitrary to draw conclusions like this, isn't it!? ”
