After assisting Ding Bao in worshiping the Kitchen God, the Kong brothers and sisters had no intention of leaving. Kong Lianyi was responsible for pulling, and Kong Lianshun was full-time drumming. The two surrounded Ding Bao around Quefeng Hall, and wandered around Xionghu Mountain for a long time.

Xiyan is not close to Zhongnan Mountain, and the brother and sister have not been to Yansheng Cao Garden for a long time. They are in high spirits along the way, completely ignoring the sorrow of the world and the miserable wind and snow.

At noon, there were servants and servants who followed the two of them to take charge of the meal.

Because there were no outsiders, Lao Feng was as mysterious as usual and didn't know where to sleep. After the three of them came back from snow, they simply cleared the snow on their bodies and joined hands to get in the seat.

The charcoal stove in the room was very hot. On the stove, there were celadon tiled jars hot with ripples. The grape wines that came from Kong Ci were sour, pure and astringent in the air. From outdoors to indoors, a little dizzy appeared on the faces of the three of them.

With Kong Lianyi, the cute and bold Xieyuhua on his side, Ding Bao is also a humorous and rich man at the dinner. Kong Lianshun once again said amazing words from time to time, why did he eat happily for this meal?

After the fruit brew on the stove was hot, Kong Lianshun, who was blushing and in high spirits, suddenly suggested to come and play "spout the pot", and immediately got Kong Lianyi's applause. The brother and sister finally had a very rare opinion that they could reach a consensus briefly.

Ding Bao will naturally know when throwing a pot.

When I was in Huayang, I also played with Bai Huawei and Luo Magistrate. The specific rules were similar to those in the history of the previous world.

This thing is not so much a competitive play, but rather a traditional etiquette and a banquet game. This way of playing comes from "Shooting Etiquette". Because the courtyard is not wide enough, it is not enough to set up a swan; or because there are many guests, it is not enough to prepare a bow; or some guests do not know how to shoot arrows, so they use a pot to replace bent bows to enjoy the guests and practice etiquette.

The simplest way to play is to make a long-necked and thin-mouthed bottle, and the person stands at a certain distance and throws it inward with an arrow or a wooden stick.

Generally, there are four teams per person, and the winner is calculated based on the number of times he scores. The winner is punished by the loser and drinks.

Of course, the sticks or arrows that throw the pot are different from those used normally, not the thickness of the top and bottom. If that is the case, it is too difficult. It is generally treated with one end thick and the other end flat, with the center of gravity on the thick end, and is specially used for throwing the pot.

He was still thinking about how to play. After all, it was only once. He was really not familiar with it, and he really didn't think it was fun. The brother and sister who had just reached an agreement on the rules had once again argued fiercely about the rules:

"Since you play with throwing pots, you must use the four-ear pot. The four-ear pot is unpredictable, jumping to the squid, penetrating the ears, carrying a sword, relying on the pole, wolf pot, and falling into the middle... all can be counted!" This is Kong Lianyi's voice.

"No, it's not that it's not just playing with Brother Ning, but also at a banquet, how can it be the same as the market play of the rural grass people? Naturally, the double-eared pot should be used as orthodox! The master of the previous dynasty casting pots said: Every time a guest writes poems, talks about writing or throws pots to entertain guests, the public uses the old style to not conform to the etiquette and to set the new style. Even when playing, they do not forget the righteousness, which is enough to show the ambition of the public. It can be seen that throwing pots is a ritual used by saints to educate people to cultivate the body and mind. The so-called "tilt and dangerous waves are not good enough" is like jumping squids, holding a sword, leaning on the pole, and wolf pot. These complicated tricks are mostly strange and lucky throwing methods, which are not in line with the etiquette system, which is very inappropriate!" This is naturally Kong Lianshun's voice.

"you!"

Kong Lianyi was so angry that his teeth hurt, and stomped his feet and said angrily: "I mentioned that Sima. If he hadn't been too ruthless, he claimed to be aloof, and regarded himself as the master of throwing pots, he had to re-order the "new style of throwing pots" and deleted all these very skillful tricks and tricks. What kind of ancient and erotic rituals are not enough to make the throwing pots separate from the people and from the category of entertainment and play. Since then, fewer and fewer people have played and have gradually become a kind of re-ritual activity!"

"Kong Lianyi, you are bold! Kong Sima is also the elder of my Kong family. You... dare you speak rudely?!" Kong Lianshun said with a black face and a angrily scolding.

"Kong Lianshun, why are you yelling? All of my words just now are from the comments of Kong Ci's cousin, and it's not bad. If you have the ability, you can go to Kong Ci's cousin to be fierce. Look at her little fingers that will make you tender and die a thousand times!" Kong Lianyi was not willing to be outdone, and replied angrily with her hips on her back.

"Nonsense! Is Kong Ci's cousin not..." Kong Lianshun said, and suddenly he thought of Kong Ci's style of conduct, and he suddenly became a little harsh on the inside.

"I can't do anything? I don't have any ghast! Do you have the ability to ask?" Kong Lianyi was unreasonable.

"Stop. Don't argue again. I'll decide the rules." When Ding Bao spoke, both of them did not speak obediently.

In fact, he also had some understanding of the outlines and allusions that the two of them said just now.

In the initial stage of the pot throwing game, in order to prevent the wooden stick from popping out, people put small beans in the pot. In the future, when people improve their skills, they no longer need small beans. They pour the beans in the bottle, and instead use bamboo sticks to throw them. The bamboo sticks have good elasticity and can jump out and catch them. As long as they have not landed, they can continue to throw them after they are caught.

Therefore, people with high levels can throw several or even dozens of times in a row with one stick, breaking through the limitation of four sticks per person.

The most basic and common way to play is called "Jumping Xiao", also called "Xiao".

Later, as people's level became higher and more and more ways to play, the pot was also modified to have holes parallel to the mouth of the pot, called "ears", and they were divided into two ears and four ears.

The more ears you have, the more complex and changeable the gameplay will be.

For example, if an arrow that is thrown into the left or right ear, and the arrow body leans on the ear and the mouth of the waist is like a sword, it is called "with sword"; if the arrow body leans on the mouth of the pot, it is called "reflecting the rod"; if the arrow is thrown "turning around the mouth of the pot", it becomes "reflecting the rod" after stopping, it is called "wolf pot"; if the arrow tail first enters the mouth of the pot, it is called "falling the middle", etc.

However, this kind of varied gameplay mostly exists between the market.

The nobles and elegant people attach great importance to the etiquette and culture contained in the process of throwing pots. What the people value is the fun of competition and fighting wine. The throwing pots can be said to be appreciated by both the elite and the masses, and the nobles and the common people each take their needs. The complex gameplay is only for competition and fighting wine. The elegant song throwing pots only has the elegant gameplay in the center of the pots. One vulgar and one elegant, and it is not contrary to each other.

Later, Kong Lianshun and Kong Lianyi appeared. The Kong Sima who was arguing with each other.

Confucius was the right prime minister of the previous dynasty. He also liked to throw pots and was very knowledgeable. He claimed to be the master of throwing pots.

This guy believes that the popular way to throw pots at that time was not in line with the etiquette system, and it was mostly a tricky way to throw pots, that is, a fool. Therefore, he reformed the throw pots and wrote "New Patterns of the throw pots". This book summarized the previous throwing activities, and pointed out that although throwing pots is a leisure activity, it is also a "ritual" used by saints to educate people to cultivate themselves and govern themselves. It can "foster ambition and wander in the spirit", or "combined with the harmony of friends" and "ador the joy of the host and the host."

The worst thing is that Confucius himself listed a set of rules and made new regulations on the etiquette, utensils and rules for throwing pots.

For example, you can only use a double-eared pot. As for the complicated tricks of carrying swords, sticks, and wolf pots, all of which are blind and inconsistent with etiquette, so you don’t count them. Because he has a great personal influence, this "willful" reform has led to the pot being thrown away from the lower class and the large scope of entertainment activities. Over time, it gradually becomes a kind of re-ritual activity.

"If you use both ears to play the pot, you can only play the tricks, but the others are not. It is too complicated and difficult to calculate." Ding Bao said the final decision.

"How many times should I use to support the bamboo stick?"

Kong Lianyi pouted and asked. The little girl agreed with Ding Bao's rule. If it was really as Kong Lianshun said, she could not even "jump" and could only throw it dryly with four fixed bamboo sticks, which would be boring!

"Seven help."

Ding Bao pondered for a while and said.

The length of bamboo sticks used to throw pots is calculated in units of "support". The four fingers are one support, and they are divided into three types according to their length: five support, seven support, and nine support, and different sticks are used in different occasions. Generally speaking, when indoors, five support, seven support, and nine support, outdoors.

"good."

Kong Lianyi was very happy when she slapped her palm. Qifu Zhushu was exactly what she was good at. Kong Lianshun was also excited and ready to rub his hands. He could throw a pot, so he naturally claimed that he was very good at it.

There was Ding Pu to use the pot to throw the pot. The pot was three feet tall, the belly was folded and the neck was decorated with gold and silver, and the text was carved. It was obvious that it was a pot specially used for the custom-made pot to throw the pot game.

According to the rules, each of the three people holds four bamboo sticks and stands outside the specified distance.

At this time, Ding Bao suddenly smiled and waved his hand to stop and said, "Punishing the wine of grapes is too stale, and the difference between victory and defeat is too insignificant, and it is far from achieving the purpose of rewards, punishments and punishments. Otherwise, let's change a new way of playing?"

Oh? The two of them widened their eyes. Out of trust in Ding Bao, Ding Bao said it was fresh, but it must be extremely fresh.

Ding Bao's eyes blew a glimmer of light, and he briefly explained the rules of "truthful adventure" on Earth in his previous life. As for nouns, they were naturally replaced with "sincere words" and "punishment".

When he was telling, the eyes of the two began to shiny, which was obviously exciting enough. After he finished speaking, Kong Lianshun was still a little hesitant, while Kong Lianyi was so excited that she shouted and shouted. Kong Lianshun thought that he could not fall behind his sister, so he naturally nodded and agreed immediately. What's more, he was actually very interested in this and was very confident.

After guessing the number, Kong Lianshun threw first, and he did a great job. All four bamboo sticks were in the center of the pot, and the total number was recorded as four calculations, so he looked proud.

Next, it was Kong Lianyi. Seeing that his brother performed well, the little girl was a little nervous and missed the first shot.

But she adjusted very quickly and made a steadily shot in the second stick.

The third stick simply played a trick. He deliberately tried hard when throwing. When it popped out of the pot, he jumped over like a rabbit and grabbed it in his hand to complete a beautiful "jumping". In this way, not only did the total number be added to one, but he also won a chance to re-shot. As a result, with this bamboo stick, he actually grabbed a beautiful "jumping" again.

With just one bamboo stick, I took the three-count score, and only saw Kong Lianshun's face bent...

Finally, Kong Lianyi won a total of nine counts with four bamboo sticks in this round.
Chapter completed!
