Rebirth cannon fodder

Chapter 78 Competition Rules
really?Everyone looked at Xu Manzhen at the same time.

Although Xu Shuzhen's trick of misfortune was a little unexpected, but Xu Manzhen was always thinking about it, ready anytime and anywhere, and would use Xu Shuzhen's various tricks, so her expression was not messed up at all, as before. He smiled and said, "Third sister, you are so humble. Second sister, my knowledge is nothing in front of all the ingenious ladies, but your hand embroidery is deeply passed down by Mr. It must be performed for everyone to see. I heard that after worshiping the moon, there will be Saiqiao? For a while, you must not be clumsy."

Xu Shuzhen's move didn't work, Xu Manzhen easily dispelled it, and she groaned softly in her heart.However, this episode also successfully diverted the attention of the young lady just now. Xu Shuzhen finished the worship smoothly, put on the incense, and then Qingzhu brought the young lady who should be in the third place to offer incense.

Meng Liya was very rude, and Xu Manzhen was placed at the bottom of the list.In this way, there were still a few people who were curious about Xu Manzhen's craftsmanship, but now they are completely relieved.After all, Xu Manzhen has almost never participated in these activities in the boudoir before, and the only thing she has seen is her painting.But today it's not a comparison of painting and worship, but Zhinu, not Huanu.

Only Meng Liya knew Xu Manzhen the best, but since she was placed at the bottom of the list...the ladies behind Xu Manzhen couldn't even weigh a needle.Although this needlework is logically a skill that every boudoir should master, there are always people who are not interested in these tasks, and the parents at home are more enlightened and do not force them.

It can be seen that Xu Manzhen may just know how to hold a needle.

Meng Liya held this Qiqiao Festival, but she obviously inquired about the news of all the participants.Xu Shuzhen wanted to hide her clumsiness, and then became a blockbuster during the competition, but Meng Liya knew the details early on, and Xu Manzhen also knew very well that she had just learned to sew.

When the worship was over, it was the big event that everyone had been looking forward to for a long time.There are several kinds of competitions in the Qiqiao Festival. There is a kind called needle throwing, which is a competition under strong light. Whoever can put the needle into the water without sinking will win.If there are several people who are unsinkable, then whoever is more beautiful than the shadow under the light will win.Generally speaking, this competition is held at noon on the Qixi Festival because of the need for strong light, but now there is such a strong light under the grape trellis, if you want to do it, you can do it.

Another game is threading a needle.Knead nine needles with one hand, then separate several five-color threads with the other hand, and thread them at the same time... The one who passes through more needle holes at one time wins.

There are also embroidery competitions.However, it is not so easy to embroider even a small flower, so in such competitions, handkerchiefs are usually prepared in advance.Under such circumstances, if someone cheats, there is no way to avoid it, so this kind of competition is the least.After all, it is too easy to fake, and it is meaningless in comparison.

In addition, there are some other competitions, that is, to catch spiders in advance, put them in small boxes, and then open them on the night of Qixi Festival, whoever has the most beautiful spider webs will be the winner.However, there are many folk competitions like this, and the ladies present seem to be afraid to play.

There are many, many such customs.However, Xu Manzhen took a closer look at the scene in front of him. With such a bright light, "throwing a needle" is comparable, and threading a needle is even better.

And more than embroidery... all the ladies here are precious ladies, who doesn't have a skilled embroiderer in their house?So, in order to avoid cheating, it probably won't happen.

And that spider that weaves webs... She doesn't believe it anymore, is there anyone here who isn't afraid of that thing?Anyway, she herself was afraid.

As it turned out, after the tribute tables were cleared away, the maids of the Meng Mansion quickly moved out several square tables and put them together like a long conference table, and placed 32 dark porcelain basins filled with water. .The scene, including Meng Liya herself, happened to be 32 ladies.

Looking at it like this, it really is better than "throwing a needle".Xu Manzhen was thinking secretly.Before coming today, she also tried several times in her room.The ancients did not know that the needle would not sink when it was thrown into the water, but as a modern person in the scientific age, she knew that it was because of the tension of the water.

When she was very young, when she was not tired of studying, she was also a good child who loved science and learning. Her family subscribed to the magazine "Primary School Students". Every issue contained a small scientific experiment. Xu Manzhen was very impressed. One of my favorite experiments is to cut a boat shape out of cardboard, or make a boat shape out of foam, and then on the back, apply a thick layer of toothpaste—and put it in the water.

So, this "small boat" will move on its own—it's just that the speed is very slow... To be honest, it's much slower than an ant, and it's a little better than a snail.

But this "small boat" still brought her a lot of joy when she was young.I remember that it was said in the original article that this experiment uses the tension of water.Because of the performance of water, there is a water film, but toothpaste can destroy this water film... So under the action of the water film, the boat moved forward.

The slow speed is also because the power of the water film is too weak.

And the needle is thrown without sinking, and the power of the water film is also used.If you want the needle not to sink into the bottom of the water, you must be careful when throwing the needle, not to puncture the water film. You need to know that the water film is very thin and weak, and the needle is very sharp, so it is easy to damage the water film .

However, if you just float the needle, you may not be able to win, because it is even more important than the shadow of the test needle. If it is too stable when placed, then the shadow will naturally not spend much.

Xu Manzhen sighed, although it was just a game in the boudoir, there were so many tricks.You know, she tried for a long time this afternoon, but she didn't cast any of the cloud patterns, bird and animal patterns, shoe shadows, and scissors shadows that Jiang told her. The shadows are all straight, only the difference is thin or thick.

Such a shadow was rated as "clumsy" when begging for cleverness.

Meng Liya had already invited everyone to come forward, Xu Manzhen had no choice but to sigh softly, stepped forward, found a basin of water at random, stood there, and looked at it quietly.

A very long and thin embroidery needle was glowing with golden light, lying quietly beside the water basin. When Xu Manzhen saw this needle, she became a little clear. In today's needle-throwing competition, it is very easy to achieve the goal of not sinking into the water. of.If it is so thin, it must be light in weight, and if it is so long, the pressure will be dispersed... As long as it is not so clumsy that it has no edges, it will be very difficult for the needle to sink.

It seems that I really can only count down today.

Okay, let’s count down from the countdown... How can I, a modern person who relies on his ability to eat, compare with this group of ancient Jiao ladies who eat, drink, have fun and work all day long?
"Start!" Qingzhu said lightly, and all the young ladies gently picked up the needle in front of them.

Xu Manzhen also picked up the needle.After holding it in her hand, she realized that this needle was even thinner than she thought just now... By the way, how can such a thin embroidery needle be used for embroidery?Gently apply force, should it be folded?
Or, is this actually a special needle for the "Needle Throwing" competition?
Sure enough, Xu Manzhen guessed right. This kind of needle was developed on the market, and it was specially made to make the ladies look good during the Chinese Valentine's Day competition.With this kind of needle in the game, the probability of success in throwing the needle is much higher.

The ladies all picked up the needles, all of them looked very nervous, ready to put the needles into the water with trembling hands.

In order not to puncture the water film, the angle at which the needle is inserted must be very careful.Xu Manzhen stared closely at her basin of water, carefully compared the angle, and then gently sank the needle into the water.After all, no matter how light or long the needle is, if it punctures the water film, it will still sink.

"I'll be the first to come here. Don't make jokes." Meng Liya's crisp voice came, and Xu Manzhen raised her head in astonishment, only to see that Meng Liya was slowly and slowly putting her needle into the needle. into the basin.

What's going on, hasn't it already started?Xu Manzhen looked at the needles in her basin, feeling a little confused.What did the "start" just now mean?
"Great, I'm floating!" Several young ladies squeezed to Meng Liya's side, stretched their necks and looked there, screaming, "Floating, floating!"

"It's a pity that the shadow is not very good." Meng Liya sighed regretfully, and then signaled Qingzhu to arrange the next one.

Seeing that Qingzhu followed the order of worshiping the moon just now, he asked another person to throw a needle.Only then did Xu Manzhen realize that the so-called "start" did not mean that everyone started throwing needles, but that the needle-throwing competition started—one by one in turn.

It's ridiculous that it's the first time for me to participate in such an event. Others are still waiting there, and I have already cast the needle!

Xu Manzhen thought for a while, then stepped back quietly, and called a little girl who was waiting at the side of the Meng Mansion, and asked her to fetch another needle for her.

The little girl was very embarrassed and said: "It's useless to take the needle again... If the needle falls, there is no way to float the second one."

Indeed it is.Xu Manzhen looked back at the needle in her basin, and after thinking about it, it was nothing more than that.Anyway, at least it didn't fall.I only hope that it can last long enough... I am the last player!
The second lady performed well, and the needle floated, but the shadows were also normal, and those legendary magical images did not appear.This made Xu Manzhen a little disappointed, the people in front of them were all skillful, if they couldn't even make such a shadow, wouldn't it be impossible to realize my plan to open my eyes today?

The third one is Xu Shuzhen.She took a long breath, with a calm face, and gently dropped the needle into the basin.

　I have been coding for a year, and my weight has soared. I don’t know if there is a better way to lose weight?
