The tyrant opposite the door

Chapter 127 131: The Idiot Cousin

Every year during the Shangyuan Festival in Kyoto, some interesting activities will be held. This year, the leading one is the Xuji Lantern Shop, which has become famous in the past year.

This Xu Ji specializes in making all kinds of lamps, paper lamps, oil lamps, copper lamps, which are lit inside the house and hung outside, with various styles and exquisite workmanship. This year he gained a great reputation in Kyoto.

Yunran knew about this lamp shop, and it was because her father gave her a shop for hand practice, and had business dealings with this lamp shop, that's why she heard about the game they were going to play on the Lantern Festival.

It's just a joke to say it casually at this time.

The two cousins ​​are both scholars, and I'm afraid they can't do bows and arrows.

Gu Meng heard Yun Ran open his mouth, and looked at Gu Fan and Mu Yi's bright eyes. He couldn't say that he couldn't do it, so he smiled and said: "Then let's go and have a look. If you can't shoot it, I'll buy it for you." .”

Yun Ran shook his head and said, "The lamp that is the head of the lottery today is the only one, and it is precisely because of this that this game is so brilliant."

As a result, everyone immediately became very interested and walked in the direction of Xu Ji Lantern Shop.

On the street in front of Xu Jideng's shop, an arrow rest was specially pricked with wood. At this time, the arrow rest was already full of people, applauding one after another.

There are five rows of lanterns in total, and the bottom three rows of lanterns closest to each other have been won away, leaving only the top two rows.

The second row is two revolving horse lanterns made of exquisite nanmu. What makes these lights different is that when the horse turns around, it looks like a real horse running, which is very eye-catching.

The first row of lamps at the top hung there high, Yun Ran looked up and couldn't help being startled, it turned out to be an openworked exquisite ball lamp.Not to mention anything else, just looking at the jade quality and craftsmanship, this lamp is worth a lot.

In order to gain fame, Xu Ji really did a great job.

A wooden sign the size of an adult's fist was hung under each lantern, and a hole was cut in the wooden sign.The hole in the second row was the size of a baby's fist, and the hole in the first row was the size of the mouth of a wine glass.

No wonder so many people return home without a feather, shaking their heads.

Everyone followed the crowd to the stage. Gu Meng watched a scholar struggling to pull the arrow away, and finally shot it five or six steps away. Gu Meng wondered if he could do it?
There was a drum in his heart, but Gu Meng still felt that he had to give it a try, so he said to Yunran, "I'll try it."

Gu Zhen said: "Brother, I want that revolving lantern, shoot it for me."

Gu Meng patted his sister on the shoulder, jumped onto the high platform, and took a bow from the steward.

Yun Ran looked at Gu Meng on the stage with a smile on her face, she was obviously very nervous, but she still had to act calm and breezy, which was really fun.

"Sister Yun, I'll go and shoot the lights for you too." Mu Yi suddenly squeezed over and said.

Yun Ran looked down at Mu Yi, quite surprised, "Can you draw a bow?"

"Of course." Mu Yi patted his chest and said, "However, the distance is a bit far, so I may not be able to hit it, but I still have to try."

While the two of them were talking, Mu Yi looked at Gu Meng on the stage and said, "I missed the shot, you can see that his shoulders and wrists can't be stretched, his arms are shaking, how can this be possible."

Sure enough, as soon as the words fell to the ground, the arrow in Gu Meng's hand left his hand, and flew out by rubbing against the wooden signs in the second row, missing.

Mu Yi climbed up to the high platform, "I'll try it, Sister Yun, just wait."

Yun Ran wanted to stop him, but Mu Yi had already run over to ask for a bow.

Gu Meng got off the high platform a little embarrassed, looked at Yun Ran and said to Gu Zhen: "It is said that a scholar has no power to restrain a chicken, and now I finally believe it."

Yun Ran and Gu Zhen both laughed.

Sikong Mu Sheng next to him looked away as if nothing had happened, but he was a little self-aware.

However, it is too stupid to miss such a distance!
