When several girls heard Tian Xing'er's exclamation, they also came around curiously and saw a silver needle floating quietly on top of the basin!
"It happened the first time?"
"What a blessing!"
"Is it possible that Lady Weaver is particularly partial to..."
Seeing that their guesses were getting more and more outrageous, Su Qingluan couldn't help but smile and said, "What do you think is in this pelvic floor?"
The girls took a closer look and saw a piece of paper about the size of a palm and a half in the corner of the basin bottom, slowly sinking into the water.
"This is...?" Everyone looked at Su Qingluan in confusion.
Su Qingluan pointed to the paper at the bottom of the basin and said: "I put the silver needle on the paper and put it into the water together with the paper. When the paper gets wet and sinks, the silver needle will float on the water!"
No one had thought of this method, and Liu'er even exclaimed: "This... this doesn't count!"
"Why not?" Su Qingluan raised her eyebrows, "Did Lady Weaver tell you that no external force is allowed to cast a needle?"
"That's not true..." Liu'er murmured.
"Isn't this the end?" Su Qingluan's expression was very innocent.
In fact, she knew deep down in her heart that she had taken advantage of the game and was being a bit cunning. But she really has no interest in needle throwing and skill.
In her opinion, this is basically the same as seeing whether the egg can stand up. If you are interested, you can do it, but she is more interested in watching these folk customs, but not very interested in doing it herself.
"In that case, let's change to the same one," Tian Xing'er took the colored thread and said to Su Qingluan, "Each of us has a colored thread. In this yard, there is moonlight, and there are also hanging under the pillars. Let’s use this light to see who can thread the seven silver needles first."
Chunhua said softly: "I can't compare to my sisters in this category. I'm the slowest every time. Why don't I be the referee?"
Su Qingluan sighed slightly, seeing that these little girls were full of fighting spirit, thinking that young people are really full of vigor, but she was only interested in eating, and lacked interest in other things.
But thinking about how many girls had been waiting for her for a long time, she nodded: "Well, do you have anything to say about winning or losing?"
"If the person who finishes last will lose something to the person who puts it on first." Que'er said with a smile.
"Hey, this is not easy to handle..." Su Qingluan made a half-serious joke, "I'm a money-crazed person, I don't want to lose anything, it seems I have to work hard."
After saying that, he winked slyly.
Several girls laughed, but Tian Xing'er was not polite: "Da Ya, you have to be careful, not to mention Que'er, even I have the best hand speed in our Huaxi Village."
Su Qingluan nodded and chose a cautious statement: "I'll try not to be the last one."
When everyone got their silver needles and colorful threads, Chunhua said softly: "Start!"
Several people started working together by moonlight.
This time, in order to prevent Su Qingluan from "seeking tricks" like before, Chunhua, as the judge, specially added: "When threading a needle, you cannot use instruments other than your hands."
Su Qingluan nodded when he heard this, then picked up a silver needle and placed it on his hand.
Chunhua specially paid more attention to Su Qingluan. She found that the girl neither looked for the pinhole at the moon nor smoothed the thread. She only laid the silk thread flat in her hand and put the silver needle on it. in hand.
Before Chunhua could see clearly what Su Qingluan had done, a silver needle pierced through.
When Chunhua saw this, her eyes widened and she couldn't help but move a few steps towards Su Qingluan.
Su Qingluan did not hide it, but generously spread her palms to Chunhua so that she could see more clearly.
However, Su Qingluan's movements were very neat and skillful, and the light here was not as clear as in the daytime. She once again placed the silver needle above the silk thread in the palm of her hand, flicked her wrist, and another one came out. The silver needle passes through the silk thread!
After doing this several times, before Chunhua could see clearly, Su Qingluan's seven silver needles were all threaded on the thread.
"I'm done." Su Qingluan picked up the pink silk thread and showed the silver needle flashing against the lantern and moonlight.
At this time, Que'er had just threaded the last silver needle, but it was a step too late for Su Qingluan.
Several other people were surprised: "There is actually someone who can beat Sister Que'er in the 'threading needle' category!"
Que'er himself was also very surprised. It’s not that she is arrogant. In fact, since she was ten years old, not to mention in Huaxi Village, she has gone to visit relatives with her parents several times and competed with girls from other places. In terms of "needle threading" alone, she has not been able to do it to this day. She has never met an opponent so far.
So this time she actually lost a step in the competition. Rather than being unwilling, she was more curious about how Su Qingluan practiced such good techniques.
Su Qingluan shook his head: "This doesn't require any skills."
Tian Xing'er was a little unhappy: "If you don't want to tell me, just say it, and we won't ask any questions. There's no need to say 'no skills required'!"
Su Qingluan knew they had misunderstood as soon as she heard it, and explained with a smile: "I just thread the needle in a special way - if you don't believe me, just ask Chunhua."
Everyone looked at it together, Chunhua nodded quickly: "Da Ya is right! She just put the silver needle in the palm of her hand without looking for the needle hole, so she shook her wrist and the silk thread went through! She You didn’t even look at the pinhole!”
Now Xing'er Tian was no longer angry, and Que'er was no longer unwilling. Everyone looked at Su Qingluan curiously, wanting to see how she threaded the needle.
Su Qingluan smiled and said, "Didn't someone just say that if I don't want to tell you, it's okay not to tell me?"
Tian Xing'er just thought that Su Qingluan was a friend, but he deliberately hid his secrets and got angry very quickly. Now that I know that I misunderstood the other party, I apologized very readily: "Hey, didn't I think you were hiding your secrets from us?"
She took Su Qingluan's hand with a smile and shook it gently back and forth. "You're such a big girl, don't bother me. I'll apologize to you! Next time I won't be so cruel to you without asking anything." Yeah, please forgive me for once!"
Su Qingluan didn't really have any objections to this little girl, she was just teasing her. Besides, seeing the other party admitting her mistake so readily, she called several girls over and explained carefully:
"Just put a piece of silk thread on your hand, put the needle on the thread, rub the end of the needle hole back and forth with slight force, repeat this several times to let the thread end enter the needle hole, and then pick out the silk thread at one end. Then you can put the thread through the needle hole!”
"This is a great idea!" Xiao Man clapped his hands and laughed, "You don't have to go through the trouble of looking at the candlelight, and you don't have to worry about blurring your eyes anymore!"
Su Qingluan looked at Tian Xing'er: "Look, doesn't it require any skills and can be mastered as soon as you learn it?"
