Chapter 345 (2/2)
”It's fast. It's estimated that there will be more than ten people left in one round.” At the beginning of summer, with a smile, he made a solemn pledge.
Xiao mubai looked at his slender hands and thought deeply. The person in charge of the ceremony announced that the first round was to test the skill of the needle. Each girl took out a basin of water from the backstage according to her own number.
Zhao Xingwen watched them emerge from the backstage, carefully holding the basin with both hands and walking very lightly.
Looking carefully, there was a thin film on the water in the basin. Curious, he asked Xu Wenlan, ”what is this?”
Xu Wenlan finally had the opportunity to show off. With a wave of his folding fan, he pointed to him: ”this is not ordinary water, this is a basin of mandarin duck water.”
Shi Zhongfei became interested and asked, ”which rumor is this from?”
Xu Wenlan shook the folding fan in his hand, and the hair on his temples danced up and down, which made his handsome face move more and more: ”this is not a rumor. The so-called” mandarin duck water ”is to take half a basin of water one night in advance. This mandarin duck water can be mixed with water during the day and night, or mixed with river water and well water and poured into the basin.”
The people suddenly realized that they praised the wonderful ideas one after another. Zhao Xingwen nodded and then asked, ”that's the case. What's the layer above?”
Xu Wenlan closed the folding fan, Pointed to the film floating on the nearest basin of water: ”When the water is exposed in the basin for one night and the Tanabata day, the water surface will vaguely form a thin film material. At this time, gently put the sewing needle on the water surface, float the needle on the film material, and observe the reflection of the needle in the basin. If the needle shadow is a straight one, it means that Qiqiao fails. If the needle shadow forms various shapes, or bends, or one end is thick and one end is thin, or other shapes, it will be easy It's a coincidence. ”
Zhao Xingwen didn't understand very much, but he still felt inexplicably powerful: ”when I was in Hanyang, I heard about the four talents in the capital. I've always wondered why you can monopolize a seat. Now I'm convinced.”
Xu Wenlan glanced at him and said angrily, ”my childe's name is Qin. Forget it. You don't know anything about Qin, chess, calligraphy and painting. I don't know what Miss Huo likes about you.”
Zhao Xingwen was offended, but he didn't have the power to answer back. Where does he know this? If you discuss the art of war, riding and shooting with him, he can argue with you all night.
Therefore, Zhao Xingwen smiled shyly and crossed the topic: ”it's nothing like it. It's just luck.”
Xu Wenlan received his playful look and said with a slight tension, ”let it go.”
I saw about 200 girls pick up a needle one after another and put it gently on the water. Some girls are too nervous and exert a little force. The tip of the needle falls first. Puncturing the film is to fall into the bottom of the basin and get out first.
For the rest, after screening, every needle shadow appeared straight in the basin, and one was also judged.
After a while, half of the girls came off the stage with a shy face and a basin in their hands.
Zhao Xingwen, Xu Wenlan, Su Qian'an and Bing Wen, who were under the stage, could not help holding their breath when they put the needle. They were relieved when they saw the silver needle floating on the water.
But the tone was not over yet. The screening people walked in turn. Their tone was raised again. Xu Wenlan and Bingwen held their small hands together, and Zhao Xingwen and Su Qian'an also held them together. The rest of Shi Zhongfei and others looked at the strange pictures of the four of them. They were more nervous than the girls on the stage and couldn't help laughing.
Xiao mubai looked at his unconcerned face at the beginning of summer. He just paid attention to odengerile and smiled in his ear.
”What did you do when you clapped with them just now?”
