Chapter 4 Trouble Finding the Door
Luo Changqing was about to answer, but the shopkeeper Gu answered first: "The paper kite is empty, the unstable one is negative, the line is negative, and the first one is negative." ”
Passers-by looked up again, someone had a ribbon in their hair driven by the wind, dancing disorganized, the two paper kites shook a few times in the wind, He Xiaofei immediately put the line again, the paper kite rose a little, condescendingly seemed to step on the other one on the "soles of the feet".
The paper kite can't "step on", but He Xiaofei wants to "step" on the people around him and "step" on it with words.
Lu Fengming is used to being insulted, and there is a good tutor who will not scold, so he can only swallow his anger.
The onlookers were already shaking their heads secretly, the outcome was set, and it was strange that the little brother of the Lu family had to be scolded if he lost the game.
At the same time, he thought of Changqingzhai and whispered: "How many days can this small workshop be opened?" ”
The person next to him shook his head and said, "I'm not optimistic." ”
accompanied Lu Fengming to listen to a few words of humiliation, and the people around him moved their minds to leave.
That Lu Fengming gritted his teeth and endured it, and when he looked up again at this time, he suddenly became happy.
But I saw He Xiaofei's paper kite spinning in the air, aimlessly "holding his head and running away".
People who often put paper kites know that the paper kite is about to fall, He Xiaofei hurriedly retracted the line to increase the resistance of the wind, it was not enough, and ran against the wind for a while, at first it was effective, the paper kite rose a few times, but as soon as the person stopped, he continued to turn and fall.
The person who was about to leave stopped and looked up, and the surprise on his face was no less than that of He Xiaofei.
Isn't it windier, how can you fly well and fall instead?
Confused, seeing that He Xiaofei couldn't run, the paper kite was already low above the roof, and the house below was windy, and the paper kite fell to this point, and basically would not get up again.
He Xiaofei watched the paper kite fall to the ground, this time, the real victory or defeat was decided.
He picked it up unwillingly, and said in his heart that he had to go back to the Chen family to give an explanation, but after a careful inspection, he saw that the paper kite was unscathed and there was nothing wrong, how to make trouble with the Chen family?
He looked up again and saw that Lu Fengming was heading towards the recovery line, and the Shuangyan on the other end of the line was extremely docile, and as he closed up, he returned gracefully.
Not to mention the matter of victory and defeat, he was very puzzled, and had the same question as the onlookers: "Shouldn't the stronger the wind, shouldn't it fly higher, why did it fall?" ”
Luo Changqing explained warmly: "Different types of paper kites bear different wind power, and the type of paper kite should match the wind power, not the stronger the wind, the better, and the unmatched wind power will affect the balance of the paper kite." ”
He Xiaofei listened and half understood: "These two are of the same kind, so why didn't he drop it?" ”
She smiled lightly: "This ...... It depends on the tie-making technique. ”
Bamboo is used instead of bamboo to make the skeleton, and the more resilient skeleton can change the curvature of the mask, increase the wind surface and the wind relief surface, and the wind bearing capacity will naturally be better.
He Xiaofei was still confused, and after reminiscing, he could only understand one thing: this has something to do with the trend, and he can't blame the Chen family's paper kite, of course, he can't blame him for his flying skills.
His previous smugness was doubly reversed to this moment, he lost face, and after muttering a few times, he quickly dispersed with his peers.
Originally, it was a competition between children, but because one of them was the paper kite of the Chen family, and the things made by the Chen family were lost, the results of the competition had a tendency to wander, and they soon turned around in the streets and alleys.
A few people bought paper kites from Changqingzhai on the spot, although the number was not much, but it was also unprecedented.
If you can get started, you will always have a chance.
The onlookers dispersed, and the street was filled with vendors and pedestrians.
There is a dark red official sedan chair passing by, two rows of guards in front and back, holding Su Qing slowly walking away, the neighbor introduced that it was the county order on the yamen, and someone came on horseback, raising the dust and smoke on the long street, and the neighbor told that it was a female bandit on the mountain outside the city.
There are also rich sons in brocade clothes, young ladies who go out to play with maids, guys who go to work, workers who transport goods, and children who play...... It was bustling on this Liudu Street.
Luo Changqing turned around and wiped the signboard of Changqingzhai, now that it is open, it is necessary to settle down here.
After wiping it, I heard a reprimand again, and when I looked up, I saw a familiar face.
This cheeky man is not wrapped in a red turban today, the bewitching is gone, and there are a few more bruises on his face, looking like this...... Well, it's better to wrap it up.
There were quite a few people standing behind him, who did not hold a firewood knife or anything, but they were tall and menacing.
Needless to say, it must have been sent by the Yang family.
I don't know if they came to find the provocation of cutting bamboo outside the city last time, or the provocation of Meng Xun arguing in the Yang family's shop, in short, it must be no good thing.
Yue Lan was the first to rush over, and Meng Xun followed, protecting the master and Lu Ling, a scholar who couldn't lift his hand, behind him.
As soon as he stood still, he heard the big man outside the door say viciously: "Our Young Master Yang explained, Nanzhu outside the city, how much you cut, you will return as much as you want, and if you miss one, you will smash your shop!" ”
Meng Xun immediately replied: "You clearly deliberately came to find trouble, even if you pay it back, you won't leave easily, since that's the case, don't talk nonsense, you still want to have a few more bags on your head today?" ”
Dahan was frightened by him, paused, didn't answer for a while, and then looked back and thought, today he got the consent of his master, and specially allowed him to take revenge, and brought people with him, what are you afraid of?
He straightened his back again, didn't talk about himself, and pulled the Yang family out: "It seems that you are deliberately trying to go against Young Master Yang, offend the Yang family, and there is no good fruit to eat in Weiyuan County." ”
Then he waved his hand: "Don't be polite to them, fight!" ”
The thugs behind him rushed up, even though Yue Lan and Meng Xun had kung fu, but in the face of a group of people, it was still difficult to parry, and there were already many pedestrians on the street, and the fight between the two parties attracted a lot of onlookers, and they crowded around noisily, so that they were tied up and couldn't do their best at all.
The two sides scuffled for a long time, and there was no winner or loser in terms of people alone, but the paper kites hanging in front of Changqingzhai were smashed.
The big man has a skill that can read people, and the two people who fought after seeing the paper kite smashed were obviously distracted, and immediately decided, and instructed the guys to go to the store to fight, regardless of the paper kite he didn't do well, he would destroy it when he saw it, after all, there were many people, and Yue Lan and the others were more worried that the people in the store would make a mistake and couldn't protect it, and soon the store would be in a mess.
The spectators outside the door pointed and pointed, and someone wanted to report to the official, but they were pulled back: "The officials and businessmen protect each other, the county commander and the Yang family are very close, maybe this Changqing Zhai will suffer even more." ”
Speaking of which, without the secret support of the county order, how could the Yang family blatantly monopolize the bamboo business in Weiyuan County?
Among them, there are also many people who are afraid of the Yang family, and they can't go up to help, at most, they can talk about it outside the door, and they don't get involved.
There was a mess inside the house, and there was a sigh outside.
In the midst of the chaos and sighs, there was a sedan chair passing by, behind the curtain it seemed to be a woman, the sedan chair passed through the crowd, seemed to react, and then returned to the chaotic Changqingzhai front gate, stopped.
After listening to a few commands, the maid accompanying her in the sedan chair shouted sharply: "Wang Xiaohong, what are you doing?" ”
Everyone was stunned for a while, still wondering who this Wang Xiaohong was, but they saw the big man turn his head and answer.
The crowd flashed.
Wang Xiaohong, the big man with cheeks, immediately put down the things in his hand and ran out, and saluted the people in the sedan chair through the curtain: "Miss Shen is good." ”
Miss Shen didn't respond, and the maid next to her continued, "Can you stop causing trouble?" ”
Wang Xiaohong lowered her head and said hello in a muffled voice, then turned around and shouted at the guys to stop and withdraw from the store.
A group of guys came out, some of them still saluted the people in the sedan chair, and some walked over directly, and under the leadership of Wang Xiaohong, they left one after another.
Although the people left, the shop couldn't bear to look directly, and the group was about to pick it up, when they saw the maid walk in and handed over the money: "My young lady has compensated the girl for those who are not long-sighted." ”
Luo Changqing remembered that she forgot to thank the people who came to help, she didn't take the money, walked outside, and asked as she walked: "Aren't these people from the Yang family, why do you Miss Shen want to pay for him?" ”
While speaking, she had already come to the sedan chair, Miss Shen opened the curtain, her hair was the most decent bun, and her makeup was the most popular flower between the eyebrows, she smiled slightly, without showing tooth marks: "It is appropriate to pay for them, and I will also apologize to the girl on their behalf, please forgive me for today's incident." ”
As he spoke, he was about to come out to give a salute, but Luo Changqing stopped her in time: "If you apologize, it should be that Young Master Yang comes, Miss helps, I should be grateful, as for Miss's compensation, it can't be accepted." ”
For some reason, Miss Shen listened to her words and a trace of loneliness flashed in her eyes, but she still had a slight smile on her face: "Girl, if that's the case, then...... I won't say more, today can be regarded as fate, and I hope to be able to come and go often in the future. ”
Luo Changqing nodded with a smile, the other party also smiled back, put down the curtain, and the maid commanded, and the sedan chair drivers got up and took her forward.
The crowd had dispersed in twos and threes, Luo Changqing stood at the door and looked at it for a while, then turned around and saw three apprentices also standing at the door looking at the sedan chair that was about to disappear from sight.
She was secretly amused, raised her hand and waved it in front of their eyes: "What, the spring heart is budding, this Miss Shen is knowledgeable, graceful and elegant, and she is a beauty." ”
Yue Lan took the lead in darkening his face and replied, "I don't, I really don't." ”
Meng Xun also said: "Yes, it's not like we haven't seen the world, with Master, a great beauty like you, where is it so easy for others to get into the eyes?" ”
Lu Ling then echoed: "That's right, it's just ...... This woman is a little strange, which makes people think a lot, she looks like a beautiful girl, but why do you want to come forward for Young Master Yang, Young Master Yang can be described as a bully in Weiyuan County, don't talk about us, it's a local, and few people think he's very good, right? ”
"It's obvious." Meng Xun said, "She must be in love with that Young Master Yang." ”
"No, this young lady is so polite, how can she be blind?"
Luo Changqing shook his head secretly, she had a good impression of Miss Shen, and she didn't want her to be blind.
But then again, it doesn't seem like it's their turn to interfere in this matter.
She turned around to enter the house, passed by Yue Lan, looked at him casually, and saw that his face was still dark, she knew that it was Fang Cai's words that made him unhappy, but she couldn't figure out why he was unhappy because of this, pondered for a while, and said to him: "I'm teasing you." ”
Yue Lan's face improved slightly.
Seeing that it was effective, she added: "Okay, don't be shy, it's the teacher's fault, you are all still young, where is the time to think about love, I won't joke in the future." ”
Yue Lan's face instantly darkened again.
She was a little strange, how could she provoke him, why did this apprentice become more and more difficult to coax?
Over there, I heard Meng Xun shouting unhappily: "What's small, others even have children at our age, I said Master, you can't get married as soon as possible because you don't want to, just when we are the same, I'm still waiting for Master you to make decisions for me." ”
She suddenly realized, and hurriedly said: "Okay, which girl do you fancy to tell me, I will definitely ask the matchmaker to tell me." ”
After speaking, he turned around and looked at Yue Lan again.
But his face seemed even more ugly than it had just been.
She clutched her clothes, completely confused, and didn't know what to say, so she had to move into the house silently with questions.
"Well, let me go and find first." Outside the door, Meng Xun was satisfied.
But Lu Ling looked disdainful beside him: "The ancients said, gentlemen and wise men should become talents first, and then build a family, how can they support their families without success......"
"Shut up!" Meng Xun covered his ears and interrupted, "your 'ancient clouds', and then I'll strangle you." ”
Lu Ling kept his mouth shut, but he was still unwilling, and turned his head to Yue Lan and asked, "Senior brother, what do you say?" ”
Yue Lan was silent for a moment and nodded slightly.
