The county commander's face was not very good-looking, as if he had just experienced a quarrel.

He opened the fan and shook it, the two paper kites have already seen, there is no need to look at it again, Shuangyan is from Zhenqifang, not a small workshop, its boss surnamed Hu, is one of the first batch of apprentices in Weiyuan County to follow the Chen family to learn art, when the Chen family just came to settle here, in order to beat the reputation as soon as possible, the apprentices are all their heart.

The paper kites of Zhenqifang are good at blending, and the style of Boss Hu has changed a lot after learning out, and the paper kites they sell there at first glance, the four major factions can find shadows, and even some small schools of the folk can also be found, but they are not authentic, and there were old-school artists who ridiculed that their paper kites were like crows with phoenix tail feathers, and they were extremely nondescript.

But even though Zhenqifang has a bad reputation, the sales of paper kites have always been very good, and the people buy paper kites to cast an eye, just for fun, and have no leisure to study this paper kite can effectively imitate other homes, or open the inside to see if it is a crow or a phoenix.

Boss Hu is exquisite, but all the businessmen who have intersections are doing well, and Yang Lianxi tried his best to protect him, in addition to refuting his brother's face, he did have selfish hopes that he could win.

The county magistrate has a lot of dealings with businessmen, and he is also quite familiar with this Boss Hu, and now it is his turn to make the final judgment, and Boss Hu is extremely relieved.

And even if he is not familiar with it, he is not too worried, this Master Li is still very protective of the local merchants in Weiyuan County.

It's just that he seems to have forgotten that since Changqingzhai came here and was invited to participate in this Thousand Kite Meeting, he can also be regarded as a local businessman.

Master Li folded the fan and shook it, and his gloomy face swept back and forth in front of the two of them, and said, "Shuangyan's idea is very exquisite, and the meaning is also very good. ”

Boss Hu smiled happily, and he was completely relaxed.

"It's just that the masked painting is too bells and whistles, but it overpowers the uniqueness of the original shape." Master Li said again.

Boss Hu's smile narrowed slightly.

Seeing that the tone of the person in front of him was flat, he expected that there would be a turnaround.

"In addition, some time ago, on my way up to the Yamen, I seemed to have seen this kind of paper kite." The other party continued.

Boss Hu's smile was completely stiff: Sure enough, there was a turnaround, and the victory was in the "turnaround" of a complete defeat.

"In the future, I want to innovate, I hope to think for myself, if I can't think of it, I will honestly do it according to the traditional craftsmanship, and it is also a great achievement to be able to make the traditional things fine and extreme." Master Lee continued.

Boss Hu couldn't laugh anymore, so he only nodded again and again.

Master Li put away the folding fan, took the pen and ink, and wrote the word "Sihai" on the white paper in front of him.

Luo Changqing looked at the vigorous and powerful handwriting, and didn't seem to react.

Master Li looked at her one step ahead of her, and looked at her face: "Changqing Zhai wins, prepare for the next round of the competition." ”

She came back to her senses and breathed a sigh of relief.

"I heard that Lord Li likes to shield acquaintances the most, but today it's fair." Retreating from the sidelines, he listened to Meng Xundao, talking and muttering, "But why does he keep putting on a stinky face?" ”

Luo Changqing turned around and smiled: "Some people don't like to laugh by nature. ”

"Do you like to laugh or can't laugh?"

"Hmm...... Pretty much, I used to read a medical book, if a person doesn't like to laugh since he was a child, when he grows his cheeks will form a memory, so that his mouth doesn't know how to smile, and when he grows up, he won't laugh......" she replied solemnly.

Then I heard Meng Xun cough twice.

She shut up instantly, turned back silently, and saw Master Li walking by, and during the intermission, he was about to leave the stage and go back to the pavilion temporarily.

With his hands behind him, Master Li was originally walking in great strides, but at this moment he stopped very firmly.

He said in a muffled voice: "Idle books, don't trust them all, let alone teach them without authorization, so as not to mislead people's children, I hope you remember." ”

Without waiting for a response, he continued to stride away.

Luo Changqing smiled and sent him off, until he couldn't see it, and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

In the future, it's better to talk less about others behind your back.

Take a short break and the second round will begin.

The outcome of the release competition is obvious, there is no need to judge and vote, the judging table has been removed, Yang Lianqi and Shen Qianqian "fulfilled the contract" and went back first, Master Shen was not very comfortable, and he had already left the field early, and others who were interested were lined up with the people to watch.

It's still a two-by-two competition, but it's no longer a random two together, but the winner of the previous round is compared to the next, and the loser knocks out the winner and continues.

The order of appearance is not random, there are new rules every year, the previous year was sorted by the number of bamboo strips made of paper kites, and last year it was arranged by weight, so the order of play is very important, so this sorting rule will not be announced until the start of the game.

The chubby county man walked to the middle of the meadow and announced loudly: "This year, according to the size of a paper kite, from the largest to the smallest." ”

Everyone's eyes suddenly turned to the big peacock in Hongyuanfang.

Then they quickly moved on to the miniature butterfly of Chang Qing Zhai.

Their gaze jumps back and forth between the two.

"Ah, let's play last, and the one against us is bound to be the strongest." Meng Xun said worriedly.

"It's probably Hongyuanfang." Luo Changqing nodded, "Today's many paper kites are working the shape and picture, and there are not many people who pay attention to the wind-bearing power in the making, but the one in Hongyuanfang has noticed it." ”

"Then Master, are you sure you won?"

"I'm not sure, and I have to think about the wind strength for a while." "But...... Hongyuanfang may not be sure that it will win against me. ”

She looked to her side and saw that Yue Lan had been silent, so she asked, "Do you have something on your mind?" ”

"Nope." Yue Lan replied, "I'm just thinking about a question. ”

"What?"

"Why is this release competition so troublesome, isn't it just that eighteen paper kites fly together, the contrast is more obvious, the winners and losers are better distinguished, and even the ranking sequence is easier to judge, which can save a lot of work."

“……”

"That's right...... That makes sense. ”

However, the rules are set by the county, and they are done like this every year, and no one wants to change them.

The county issued an order, and the participating paper kites entered the arena one-on-one and began to fly.

After several rounds of competition, the peacock of Hongyuanfang won the dust.

Compared with it, either the flight is not as stable as it, or it is not as high as it, and I don't know if it is too nervous, so it doesn't fly directly.

Winning over the paper kite in other shops, Hongyuanfang didn't take much time, and when it was time to face off with Changqingzhai, noon hadn't passed.

Luo Changqing and Chen Shenghong stood in the center of the venue, and she first reported to the county order again according to the process, and briefly introduced her paper kite.

The two of them were not far away, and when they spoke, Chen Shenghong kept looking at her and looked at her from beginning to end.

Until she finished speaking, she looked sideways: "What advice does Shopkeeper Chen have?" ”

Chen Shenghong no longer looked at her, and looked at her butterfly coldly: "Don't dare to advise, I kindly remind the girl that the footline is going to be tied tightly, such a small point, if you lose it, your eyes are not good, but you can't find it." ”

She replied: "Then it's better for Shopkeeper Chen to check his thread carefully, such a big one, if it is broken, flying aimlessly, it will definitely scare the child." ”

"With such sharp teeth, the family who marries you in the future will probably be very uneasy."

"I don't say that to my family."

"Maybe it's because you don't have a family."

"It's not just blood or marriage that can be called a writer."

"This is true, those who have these relationships may not be able to become family members......"

"Stop, stop!" The county man slapped the table and interjected, "This is not a place for you to chat. ”

The two ended this unpleasant conversation, listened to the county's orders, and stood in the release position with their companions.

The release position is not far away, and the paper kite not only flies higher and more steadily than anyone else, but also can chase the competition in the air, so there is no need to isolate too far, but most ordinary contestants do not dare to do this, or will avoid the opponent, so as not to control the direction well, resulting in the foot line entwined together and both lost.

Of course, at the moment, neither side considers themselves ordinary contestants.

After standing on both sides at the release point, there were many people on Chen Shenghong's side, and the group led by him squinted and looked to the left for a long time, and said with a joke: "The vision of a woman's family is narrow, and the things made are so stingy, it is really difficult to get into the hall of elegance, and competing with you has tarnished the reputation of our shopkeeper." ”

Yue Lan took the paper kite, and replied with a smile: "Each other." ”

The leader pursed his lips and glanced behind him, and the other guy behind him immediately took a step forward, moistened his throat, took a big breath, and his words were ready to be spoken.

With a "snap", the county Cheng knocked on the table again: "This is not a place for you to chat." ”

The guy's words were stifled, and he almost didn't come up in one breath.

"The release begins." The county shouted.

The sun burst out of the clouds, and the wind rose.

The huge peacock red eyes suddenly filled with light, and in a flash, the hair around the body stood in surprise in the wind, the wings stretched, and the wind crossed the giant wings and made a few chirps, as if this giant bird really wanted to feather and ascend to the immortal and swayed away.

Chen Shenghong shouted on the side: "Listen to my command, five people in the front, middle and back, hold the paper kite and move forward quickly, and then five people hold the line, watch it fly up and reel in the line, and the rest of the people ...... Well, what's the situation? ”

He hadn't finished speaking, but he heard a "bang" in his ears.

He looked back, looked around, and then looked up again to see that the butterfly was already in the air.

"Changqingzhai first released successfully, one point." The county shouted.

"You ......" Chen Shenghong was a little unconvinced, and almost blurted out that you flew up without saying hello, and suddenly realized that this was a game, do people still have to politely let him not succeed?

"Don't be nervous, everyone." He hurriedly turned around and comforted his fellows, "Our paper kite is bigger and more windy, and the process of flying is indeed more complicated, but as long as it flies, it is very stable." ”

The guys chimed in and whispered, "Aren't you nervous?" ”

Chen Shenghong continued to shout: "Listen to my command, stand in your own position, and the people who hold the support will look at my gestures in order." ”
