Chapter 3 Competition

Luo Changqing frowned slightly when he heard this: "Since the Yang family's business is big, it is expected that there are many shops, so we can only buy them in the store, so we don't have to take the initiative to provoke." ”

Meng Xun disagreed: "Then what if they come to the door?" ”

"If you come to the door...... she looked at them, "you and Lan'er have been learning kung fu from Uncle Liu since childhood, and it must be more than enough to deal with some family thugs, right?" ”

Meng Xun breathed a sigh of relief: "I'm afraid that Master, you won't allow us to do it." ”

"It's true that being kind to others is the way of doing business, but you can't let people come to you and bully."

She only regretted that she didn't add another sentence at this time: "Don't act rashly if you don't come to the door." ”

That Meng Xun got rid of the feeling of "bearing the burden of humiliation", and there was no need to be cautious, he was a master who wanted to be happy for a while and reckless of the consequences, and his original form was immediately revealed when he lost his suppression.

When he went to the Yang family's store to buy water bamboo, he preferred to run into the red turban man who raised a knife and shouted last time, Meng Xun was very red when he saw him, and he couldn't help but say that he had a big fight in the store, but instead brought the originally small matter to the table.

As a result, the water bamboo was not bought, Meng Xun beat someone, and came back to apologize, and Luo Changqing couldn't cry or laugh.

Tomorrow is the time for Xiaofeng to compete with that little bandit, if it is too late, she can only use Nanzhu as a skeleton, but in that case, she really has no bottom about the victory or defeat in her heart.

She couldn't show her loss in front of her apprentices, but she also encountered a problem.

It's dark, but there's still no solution.

Someone lightly buckled the door, opened the door, and saw Yue Lan standing at the door with a mat.

She was stunned: "Lan'er, ...... are you?"

Yue Lan didn't notice her surprise, calmly walked in, and put the mat on the ground.

She walked in with her, and wondered even more in her heart, is it uncomfortable to sleep in his own room, uncomfortable to say, she can change with him, what's the matter if you come in directly?

But then again, I don't have the impression that this apprentice is a very squeamish person?

Yue Lan didn't bother to raise his head, he unfolded the mat and said seriously: "I just thought that my bamboo mat is made of bamboo side by side, ready-made materials, and it also saves the process of air drying, I only need to pull it out and cut it and bake it, but I'm not sure which one is the best, I still have to bring it over to you to see." ”

So that's the case, she sighed lightly, and at the same time exclaimed: Lan'er is wise, this idea solves the urgent need.

Yue Lan didn't look up at her until she finished speaking, but seeing her relieved expression, she suddenly thought of something, her face immediately turned red, and she quickly stood up: "Master, I'm sorry, I don't mean to offend." ”

She raised her hand and wiped her forehead, and smiled, "I should say I'm sorry, it's me thinking too much." ”

"It's also my fault for making you think too much." Yue Lan stood in front of her upright.

She saw that the forehead of the person in front of her was also full of fine sweat, and she habitually raised her sleeves to wipe it for him, and halfway through it, some thoughts suddenly popped up in her mind.

Why was she nervous just now, because the teenager in front of her had grown up.

The three teenagers are the same age, she is a few years older, and she occupies the master's generation, and she has always thought that they are children, but the person in front of her is taller than her early tomorrow, and he is an adult.

Yue Lan has grown from a thin child to an adult with clear eyebrows, and his bamboo-blue wide-sleeved robe makes him arrogant, obviously giving birth to a pair of indifferent eyes, but when he looks at her, he is full of pious light.

She suddenly understood why there were always girls staring at him when walking on the street, and she suddenly realized that in addition to fulfilling her responsibilities as a teacher, she should also maintain the distance between men and women.

Her mind turned a few times in an instant, but the people in front of her obviously did not have as many as she thought, Yue Lan looked at her withdrawn hand with a hint of unease, and said softly, "Master, are you angry?" ”

She knew that Yue Lan was careful, and hurriedly shook her head: "How could I be angry with you, it's just ...... It's late at night, and I'm afraid you're not fit in my room. ”

Yue Lan lowered his eyes slightly: "Yes, I was sloppy." He wanted to stay and help, but now he had to go out the door, "Then I'll go." ”

Luo Changqing thought for a while, and called him again: "I'm only afraid that your mat will be destroyed, I'll buy you a new one tomorrow, and ...... it tonight" She looked around, and for a while she wanted to say that she would give him her futon and sweep, but the question she had just figured out flashed out, and she stopped immediately.

It's just that the words were swallowed back abruptly, she didn't think about the afterwords, and she was speechless for a while.

Yue Lan rarely interrupted her words, so she waited patiently, and waited for a long time before replying: "It's not in the way, it's hot, I'll move a bench to the yard to cool off, it's good." ”

Occasionally, he heard frogs chirping in the yard, Yue Lan didn't move a stool, he just sat by the well, watching the full moon in the well, he leaned over and splashed his face with cold water a few times, and then picked a leaf and blew it gently.

He was anxious to grow up and wanted to prove that he was useful, but today he realized that the consequence of growing up was that she began to alienate him.

The melodious sound of the song brought a touch of coolness to the people who were working, and gave her more comfort in her exhaustion.

It's just that the song hasn't been blown yet, a window opens, and a cotton and linen pillow is thrown down, he doesn't have to look up, he raises his hand to catch it, and listens to Meng Xun leaning against the window and shouting: "Yue Lan, what are you doing, in the middle of the night, don't let people sleep?" ”

Before he could reply, the window next to him also opened, and Lu Ling poked his head out with a scroll in his hand: "Meng Xun, you are embarrassed to say, if it weren't for you, the master wouldn't have to rush to make the paper kite overnight, if you don't help, why are you still complaining?" ”

Meng Xun turned his head to look at him and raised his eyebrows: "Isn't it that I'm not good at learning, and I can't help anything, don't talk about me, didn't you go to help?" ”

Lu Ling covered his face with a scroll and raised his voice: "When I was young, I talked about the dignity of the elders and the young, but now I have to add the difference between men and women, the way of a righteous man and a gentleman, how can you enter a woman's boudoir in the middle of the night and the moon is high?" ”

After saying this, the downstairs music stopped abruptly.

Meng Xun's eyes widened and he thought for a while, then slowly returned to the room, grabbed another pillow and threw it to the window, and smashed it against Lu Ling: "If you don't want to work, don't find a reason, what men and women are young and young, let's grow up with the master, we are a family, when will we take care of these things in front of her, are you tired?" ”

He said that, and closed the window with a "snap".

Lu Ling shrugged his shoulders and said downstairs: "Senior brother, you blow very well, and it is full of contrast to this night, you just continue to blow." ”

After speaking, he gently covered the window and lit another piece of wax on the table by the window.

But there was no more music in the courtyard, Yue Lan just sat quietly, and his figure melted into the deep night.

As soon as the morning dawned, Lu Fengming next door came, and he was anxious to test fly a few times first, but fortunately he had a bottom in his heart.

Luo Changqing stayed up all night and finally it was not in vain, Xiaofeng saw this paper kite, and his eyes immediately lit up, and he praised it endlessly.

The test flight was very smooth a few times, after breakfast, He Xiaofei also came, he came violently, followed by a few teenagers of about the same age, looking at the same kind of dress, no need to guess, basically can conclude that they are peers.

These little bandits are usually used to flying and domineering, and when they come to Liudu Street, they shout and shout, causing many onlookers to watch, and some good deeds come to watch with interest.

It was early in the morning, and the shops on the streets were about to open, and the vendors on both sides of the road were not out, and there were not many pedestrians.

The two of them, who were in a hurry to show off, were too lazy to exert themselves, so they found a wide place nearby, and they had to compete on the street.

Everyone has seen a lot of He Xiaofei's paper kites, and the regular paper kites in the Chen family are not enough to amaze them anymore, but if they want to win easily, it is also impossible, the more conventional things are, the more insurance they are.

And when Lu Fengming took out the paper kite, it suddenly caused a lot of noise.

The paper kite that people see is somewhat similar to the thin swallow in He Xiaofei's hand, but it is not the same, because it is not a swallow, but two, which are combined into one and share a pair of wings, which is quite like flying with wings.

The drawing is the same color as the bottom of his blue pot, and the auspicious cloud pattern is also drawn, but at a glance, the pattern is not monotonous at all, to be carefully examined, but it is seen that the pattern is upside down and opposite, the positive picture and the inverted picture complement each other, graceful and not messy.

This paper kite seems to have the same origin as the Chen family's traditional blue-bottomed hard-winged thin swallow, but it has improved every step of the way.

He Xiaofei was also a little surprised: "What's your name?" ”

Lu Fengming looked at Luo Changqing and replied: "This is called 'Hard-winged Double Swallow at the bottom of the blue pot.' ’”

He Xiaofei immediately felt a pang in his heart: "Is this coming at me, or is it deliberately provoking the Chen family?" ”

The crowd was still whispering, and the shopkeeper Gu took the lead in expressing his opinion: "'Winged double swallows, depending on each other, male feathers reflect green colors, female clothes shine purple bright', Changqingzhai is ingenious, if you talk about ornamentality, it has won." ”

Some onlookers agreed, and some people had a wait-and-see attitude, but those who came with He Xiaofei were not happy, they shouted with their teeth and claws: "It's not good, everyone's vision is different, how to compare?" ”

"It is different in aesthetics, but the exquisite beauty and ugliness of the craftsmanship, there is always a distinction between superior and inferior, and there are still judging standards. Shopkeeper Gu replied.

There are many people around nodding, this Gu shopkeeper opened a calligraphy and painting workshop, and he is a good painter, and his aesthetic vision is still somewhat authoritative.

He Xiaofei was not convinced, and said that he could not read a book, so he turned his head stupidly, and said to Lu Fengming: "It's useless to look better than anyone, the fun of fighting paper kites is still in 'flying'." ”

He has full confidence in the release of the Chen family's paper kites, and when he glanced at Lu Fengming's double swallows, he thought that the bigger the paper kites, the more difficult it is to fly, and it will be time for you to lose face later.

Lu Fengming really didn't have a lot of bottom, but Luo Changqing threw a smile at him, and there was a lot of confidence in his smile, and he was infected by that smile, so he was not afraid.

When the wind entered the long street, Luo Changqing picked up a fallen leaf and threw it upward, the fallen leaf slowly floated and landed slowly, she turned around and pointed: "The wind is coming from the south, pulling the line against the wind." ”

The two of them took off the paper kites at the same time, watching them gradually rise, He Xiaofei's paper kite climbed fast, and soon reached the height of the roof, Lu Fengming, this one is still leisurely and leisurely, if you take a leisurely walk slowly up.

When the onlookers looked at it, they all seemed to have expected it, and sighed: "It's normal to compare." ”

He Xiaofei was proud, and he already showed a sarcastic smile.

Lu Fengming was a little anxious, but saw that Luo Changqing was quite calm: "The wind is not enough, wait a while." ”

He was not in a hurry, and patiently followed the instructions, sometimes lifting the line and sometimes releasing the line, and finally the paper kite flew over the roof, but the other one had risen to the second floor of the attic.

He Xiaofei's smile gradually deepened, and he was about to say something humiliating, but he felt that his clothes were flying lightly, and he was even more happy: "The wind is strong, you will definitely not be able to catch up." After saying that, the paper kite hurriedly put out the line, and the paper kite really jumped high with the wind.

Lu Fengming was not in a hurry or slow, he put the line steadily, and the paper kite rose step by step, although it took a lot of time, but taking advantage of the stronger wind, he also caught up with the height of the other party, and the two paper kites were comparable, and they both stayed in the sky temporarily.

At this time, passers-by couldn't understand it, and asked: "Since you can fly so high, how can you judge the winner?" ”
