The peacock pounced.

The butterfly descended abruptly below it and grabbed its footsteps.

The butterfly is small, flexibly rotates and wanders around the peacock, the huge peacock has no time to take care of it, its "lifeline" is entangled, and the body helplessly follows the little butterfly to the west.

Then I suddenly heard a "snap", and the "lifeline" was finally broken.

It didn't go away from the wind, it was free from there, it just swirled faintly, and slowly landed, still spreading its wings, burying the darkness under it, letting the sun pour down on it, its head still high, and its red eyes fixed on the sky.

The butterfly circled a few times in the sky, and if it danced a gorgeous and quiet dance, it rose again into the clouds.

"Hongyuanfang line is broken, defeated, this Thousand Kite Competition, Changqing Zhai wins." The county knocked on the wood again.

The people were amazed.

"Wait a minute......" Chen Shenghong raised his arm.

"Shopkeeper Chen, I am willing to lose the bet." County Cheng Road.

"Naturally, I am willing to gamble and lose." Chen Shenghong's face was ugly, but in the face of many people present, he had nothing to say about the victory or defeat, seeing him flick his sleeves and take a few steps closer to Luo Changqing, the fire in his eyes seemed to devour her, but he said politely: "I have something to ask for advice below, and I also ask Miss Luo to answer." ”

"Don't dare to be, please speak."

"This wind is obviously not suitable for your little paper kite to take off, how did you get it to fly steadily?" At first, he guessed that the groove surface had also been changed, but he was the opposite of the paper kite, and if she wanted to change it, she had to make the groove shallower, but no matter how shallow it was, it should not be able to stabilize under this wind.

"But...... If it's your exclusive stunt, it's inconvenient to answer, so you don't have to say it. He thought about it and said that although he was selfish, he also respected the hard work of the craftsmen.

Luo Changqing smiled: "It's okay, you want to know, I can tell you." After that, he turned around and asked Yue Lan to put down the paper kite.

The butterfly paper kite was not in a queue with Chen Shenghong when it was displayed before, he didn't look carefully at all, but now he took a closer look, and was stunned to find that this butterfly does not have the problem of groove depth at all, because it has no groove at all.

This was unprecedented, and he hadn't even heard of a paper kite without a grooved surface.

But that's not right!

He frowned and said, "Without this, how did your paper kite take off?" ”

Without the groove surface, there is no way to vent and vent the air, no matter how light it is, it can't fly up with a wire.

Wait, though.

His eyes glanced at the masked edges, the rigid frame structure was pasted with silk, the lighter the silk, the better, the paper kite does this, and the difference of this one is that its edges are all curled, and the excess silk surface that was originally pasted on the skeleton was not cut, but rolled up and pasted on it.

"It turns out that you replaced the groove with a curl." He understood, and sighed.

"Exactly." The other nodded.

"I've never thought of such an easy way."

"Shopkeeper Chen is used to doing things according to standards, and he must not dare to try new ideas even if he has them."

He sneered: "That's right, how can the things left by the ancestors be changed at will, it is because of you craftsmen who do not respect tradition that our art is becoming more and more biased." ”

"The ancestors also tried step by step, and it was not achieved overnight." Luo Changqing said.

"You won me today, I still want to say congratulations first, but it doesn't mean that your little Changqingzhai has been able to achieve the achievements of my Chen faction, and when you do, it's not too late to say these big words." Chen Shenghong was even more displeased, and turned around to leave.

The guys saw that the peacock was a little damaged when it fell to the ground, and they knew that this was still the "work of shame" that their shopkeeper had defeated for the first time, so they asked more: "Do you want to bring it back?" ”

He paused: "Of course, I have to take it back, and I will receive it to the treasury well, no matter whether I win or lose, every paper kite produced by Hongyuanfang is art, and I cherish it the same." ”

The guy nodded again and again, but after Chen Shenghong finished saying the word victory, he felt uncomfortable after all, and looked back at Luo Changqing in the crowd, clenched his fists and said secretly: "Sooner or later, I will drive you away, wait and see!" ”

The vanquished departed.

But there is no reward for the winner.

However, the people all know that this new Changqingzhai is better than Hongyuanfang, which is a great reward, and in the future, she has a place in the paper kite workshop in Weiyuan County.

The plump county Chengle came to them: "Miss Luo, I didn't have vision before, and I almost made Zhuyu dusty, don't mind." ”

"But I was flattered that you came to explain in person, my lord." Luo Changqing hurriedly took a step back, glanced at the county magistrate who still had a dull face, pondered for a while, and said, "But I probably want to trouble you and I will explain to Master Li for me, I really have a quick mouth for ......."

For the first time in her life, she was heard by someone when she spoke fast.

"It's fine." The county was also there before, and she naturally heard the words she teased Lord Li, but at this time, she just waved her hand indifferently, "He will never use his power to embarrass you, don't worry, he is a person who has a clear distinction between public and private." ”

After speaking, he remembered something, said goodbye to Luo Changqing, and walked straight towards Master Li.

After a while, I saw the county Cheng turn around, and said loudly: "Everyone who is present today has gifts to send, everyone will come and line up to receive gifts later, come one by one, don't squeeze, these gifts are provided by the Yang family's bamboo materials, everyone must patronize the Yang family's business when they are free......"

The county Cheng said that he took a look and didn't see the Yang family, Yang Lianqi and his wife had already left, and Yang Lianxi also left halfway through the second round of the game.

He was bored, and the next few words were shouted in vain.

The people cheered, and they probably automatically ignored the next few words, some people went to line up, the line was long, and some people chose to play and wait on the side first.

It's just that Luo Changqing heard him deliberately emphasize the Yang family's bamboo materials, and began to doubt the credibility of the "clear distinction between public and private" he just said.

She refused to dangle in front of the county order anymore and decided to go home.

As soon as she turned around, she saw Lu Fengming running over, looking at the butterfly in her hand with a new look, and asked with wide eyes: "Sister Luo, you guys were so majestic just now, I saw that it took a lot of effort for the Hongyuanfang to fly, how did you fly so quickly with such a small paper kite?" ”

She handed the paper kite to him and said with a smile: "If you like it, I'll give this to you, go, I'll teach you how to put it when you go back." ”

"Thank you, Sister Luo, but ...... Don't go back, I'm waiting to get the gift. Xiaofeng shouted, "Just teach me here, right?" ”

"That'...... All right. "It's really bigger than Liudu Street.

She gathered the line, closed her eyes and felt the wind, the miniature paper kite only needed a light wind that could blow the leaves, and she only because she had made a change in the grooves, she could fly in a slightly stronger wind, it was not a competition at the moment, she waited quietly for a moment, until the wind was right, she lifted the paper kite,

Throw it upward, called a small wind pay-off.

After Xiaofeng released the line, he was about to run in the opposite direction, but she held him down: "You don't need to run, it can fly, if you increase the resistance of the wind, it will destroy its balance." ”

"Oh." Xiao Feng hurriedly stood still, and only raised his arm back as instructed, and as soon as he lifted it, the butterfly rose rapidly.

"It's eating wind right now, and the line can be put on faster." She reminded again.

Xiaofeng quickly released the line, and sure enough, the butterfly took advantage of the wind to "flutter" up at once.

The boy was overjoyed and couldn't help but laugh.

The laughter attracted many people to look back, and some people secretly said "little stupid", but the corners of their mouths couldn't help but hook up.

Smiles are contagious, after all.

He kept putting the line, and the butterfly continued to rise, and when it reached a very high place, it was indeed impossible to see clearly, but everyone knew that there was a paper kite there, and when he looked up in the direction, he felt that he could still see it in his eyes.

Lord Li raised his head among the people who received the gifts, looked at the paper kite, and still frowned and did not smile, but when he lowered his head, he opened his mouth: "Don't worry, everyone has it, come one by one." ”

The people suddenly fell silent.

Lord Li, who cherishes words like gold, would say such words of advice, it's too unprecedented, is he dizzy by that butterfly?

Aunt Zhao squeezed out of the queue, excitedly opened the ribbon of the gift wrap, and took out the items from it.

Then she rolled her eyes and threw the porcelain cup and the box to Shopkeeper Gu: "I've sent it to you, I don't drink tea, this thing is probably only you like." ”

Shopkeeper Gu really liked it, and took it unceremoniously, and before he could speak, he saw Meng Xun walking towards this side.

He stretched out his hand to say hello, but saw that Meng Xun almost didn't look at him, and the person walked up to Aunt Zhao and asked with a smile: "What about your daughter, why don't you see her?" ”

Aunt Zhao was already in a bad mood, and she was even more unhappy when she heard this: "There is no daughter here, there is a daughter's mother, if you come to disturb again, the daughter's mother will rely on you, and you won't be able to run away when the time comes, don't believe it!" ”

Meng Xun shuddered and immediately ran away.

Behind him, there was the unbridled laughter of the shopkeeper Gu, and his face was red from laughter.

wanted to go to the second senior brother to complain, but from a distance, he saw that Lu Ling was talking with a group of scholars by the pool, and his laughter was hearty, so he quickly turned around and went to find the senior brother.

The senior brother stood beside the master, with his hands behind his back, looking up at the paper kite for a while, and looking at the master for a while, his mouth was not smiling, but his eyes were full of smiles.

After a while, he found that the senior brother no longer looked up at the paper kite, but only looked at the master, and the smile in his eyes was about to overflow.

He took two steps forward, and saw that the master turned his head and happened to meet Yue Lan's gaze, and the two looked at each other, and they smiled lightly together.

Usually they also looked at each other, but under normal circumstances, the senior brother would quickly move his eyes and immediately blush, but today it was strange, he dared to stare at the master and smile, and his courage became bigger.

Meng Xun pouted: "Today, I'm going to have a fight with 'Xiao', so let's play by myself." ”

After playing until it was almost dark, the gifts over there were finished, and the people and officials left one after another.

The evening returns, the moon rises tomorrow, the Double Ninth Festival, the dark fragrance is full of sleeves, and the wine should be put after dusk.
