Chapter 126: Pitching the pot
"Xiang Gongzi is really different, he can go from the shape of the building to the national society, and he has the benevolence of mourning the people, which is really rare!"
After reading what Xiang Zhong wrote, Lao Dan was impressed by his understanding and admired.
Between the discussions, the moon has risen to the middle of the sky, and even the cornices can't touch the height of the slightest, only the colorful clouds are still not abandoned, and they are accompanied by each other.
Cloud shadow moon shirt, under the thick clouds, there is actually a feeling of mountains.
It was obviously the sky, and I knew that there were no physical peaks there, but the large clouds in front of me under the moonlight were clearly a few towering clouds covered by clouds and mist.
Before such celestial phenomena, after staring at them for a long time, almost people will forget what is real and what is false.
Everyone quietly enjoyed the moon moving with the clouds, and many strange scenes were in front of them. The brightness of the moon overshadowed the many stars that were usually shining, and occasionally one or two emerged from the clouds, like the sparkling hair ornaments on the head that swayed with the dance of the fairy, and flashed in an instant.
For the "little tails" who like to be lively, it seems that these people are a little "inexplicable", how can there be so many people, but they don't make a sound, and they all have a look of longing and enjoying freedom?
"Little Tail" thinks that this moon, the moon will be round, today is extraordinarily rounder, brighter, and bigger, but it is not so much to raise the neck, not sleep, and stay up all night with the moon "rising in the east and setting in the west", right?
It's still mooncakes, but she really can't hold on any more; As for the moon, she also took a serious look at it, but she didn't look at it for long, and she got tired of it, thinking that these people are so stupid, and they don't eat such delicious moon cakes, and they can't finish staring at the moon, which is really strange!
"Mrs. Xiang, I'm a little sleepy, please allow me to retire first!" Little Tail went to ask "Mrs. Xiang" for leave, and she didn't plan to accompany her on this night shift.
"Okay, so will I, let's go back to the house and sleep together!" Mrs. Xiang was also a little out of spirit, so she went back to the house with her little tail and went to bed first.
"Chong'er, if you are sleepy, go back to the house early!" Before leaving, she still explained to Xiang Zhong, after all, the child is still weak, and after late at night, he is afraid of getting sick from the cold.
Xiang Chongchong nodded to the little lady, which was regarded as an answer and a guarantee that he was fine.
"Please rest assured, sir, I am here." Ji Yu has been beside Xiang Zhong and has also made double reassurances to the master.
It is said that the happiness of men is very simple, and it is not until all the female guests have left that the remaining men start the real carnival.
Xiang Zhong saw that Dr. Shang had two long-necked and wide-mouthed "vases" moved out, which were placed side by side on the courtyard floor, and then someone was holding a whole vertical bag of wooden arrows, yes, called "arrows", each about 20 centimeters long, one end was sharp, the other end was not processed, it was rough and blunt, and it stood on the side.
I saw that Lao Dan picked out four arrows from them and walked to the front of Doctor Shang's table and said:
"It's a whistle pot, please Lebin."
Doctor Shang replied: "The son has a purpose to drink and deserve, and he is happy and dares to resign." ”
Dan said again: "In vain, it is not enough to resign, dare to invite." ”
Doctor Shang replied again: "I give you wine and food, and I value pleasure, and dare to be stubborn." ”
Dan also said: "In vain, it is not enough to resign, dare to insist." ”
Doctor Shang said: "Rong Gu can't resign, dare to be disrespectful? ”
Then Doctor Shang bowed to Lao Dan and accepted the four arrows offered by Dan.
Next, the two bowed to each other, sat in their respective positions, faced the three "vases" ———— "pots", and prepared to throw.
The person who sent the pot doubled as a shooter, and he put the two pots about half a meter away from the two seats, facing the two of them.
Then, the shooter returned to his position and began to announce to both sides the rules of the game, that is, the gift of throwing the pot, and then ordered the musician to start playing "Tanuki". The throwing competition is officially underway.
I saw that the first merchant doctor began to throw, and the rhythm of the throwing was completely consistent with the rhythm of the music of "Tanuki Head", and there must be a "step on it" to throw; When his four teams were finished, it was Dan's turn, and he also threw four teams, so it was a game.
The battle situation is like this: Doctor Shang hit one of the four shots, and Dan hit all four shots, and it is obvious that Dan won.
"The teacher agrees!" Dan Ming won, and apologized to Doctor Shang very politely, and then proudly added: "Dan'er has learned, okay?" ”
This whole set of pot throwing gifts was originally taught by Dr. Shang, so when he sees his apprentice beating himself and being proud of his teacher, how can he be annoyed that his grades are not good? I saw his old man twisting his beard, looking very open-minded, laughing and saying, "Good, very good!" Dan'er archery has improved again! ”
Xiang Zhong was very interested, and couldn't help but rub his hands and be eager to try.
After inviting the merchant doctor to throw the pot, and in order of age, the object of the second invitation is Ji Yu, and the main party is played by Shang You.
Although Mrs. Xiang did not teach Ji Yu the etiquette of "three invitations and three concessions", when it comes to archery, he is a strong point, so for this competition, he is confident.
Learning from Doctor Shang, he also used the three "fixed words" routines to sell land, and the answer with Shang You was also correct.
"Tanuki Head" started again, only to see Ji Yu hand-copied arrows, looking at the mouth of the pot, the music only played a short section, he stepped on four beats, pinched two branches in each hand, "swish, swish" and threw them in a row, four arrows, two by two, and threw them into the mouth of the pot with a brush.
It's a pity that the strength is too great, obviously the four branches have entered the mouth of the pot, but two of them rebounded, so that the results of the four branches have become "four shots and two hits".
Ji Yu was very sorry and shouted: "It's not counted, come again!" ”
Si Shu just wanted to announce the "results", Shang You waved his hand at Si Shu, walked over to Ji Yu, handed him four arrows again, and said: "Childe made a mistake in the first trial, it doesn't matter, you can do it again." ”
Si Jie packed up the arrows and arrows, and handed them to Shang You's four master arrows.
This time, Ji Yu didn't dare to underestimate the enemy, he no longer threw with both hands, but according to the rhythm, slowly and seriously threw one branch at a time.
Sure enough, the result this time was a real "four shots and four hits", and everyone cheered and applauded him.
Later, it was Shang You's turn to throw, which was also all in the middle, and the throwing speed was much faster than Ji Yu's interval speed for each branch.
Si Jie announced that although it was the same four shots and four hits, Shang You's time was shorter, so Shang You won.
Ji Yu lost convincingly, after all, this is also the first time in his life to throw a pot, and he is very happy to be able to hit it all! Whether he can beat Brother You, he doesn't mind.
