On the banks of the Qinhuai River.

Triple Tree.

Young ladies and gentlemen, the people are bustling, and crowds are coming one after another. Get ready to see the Tanabata fireworks festival held by Lord Yin of Jinling Prefecture.

No one has ever seen this mysterious firework.

In the afternoon.

Chu Tianxiu, Li Yu, as well as Zu'er and Di'er, surrounded by more than a dozen officials and hundreds of officials from Jinling Mansion, drove the official car across the Sansheng Bridge and came to the crowded Sansheng Tree.

"Husband, what are fireworks?"

Li Yu was curious.

She has always heard Chu Tianxiu say that the fireworks are very beautiful, but she has never seen them, and she has never seen them.

It took so much effort on my part.

"This firework is the beauty of a peaceful and prosperous world. From now on, the land of fireworks will be synonymous with a prosperous place. When you watch tonight's fireworks, you'll know how beautiful they are. ”

Chu Tianxiu smiled.

He tossed out the gunpowder so hard, what was the picture?

For powder guns, artillery?

Of course not.

Gunpowder guns are good, but they are murder weapons on the battlefield. Who has nothing to eat, and every day carries a powder gun to the east and the north to beg for help, and fights desperately? Invented the powder gun, he was just in passing.

He drummed out the gunpowder, just to make a festive day for the New Year's holiday, listen to the "crackling" sound, and there were bright firecrackers and fireworks everywhere.

On New Year's Day and Qixi Festival, he can take Li Yu, Zu'er and Di'er to walk on the banks of the Qinhuai River. Seeing the sky everywhere, there are brilliant fireworks, leisurely and light.

This is called the beautiful and happy life of the little dusk after the crossing.

For this sound, he threw 100,000 taels of silver to study gunpowder, and it was worth it!

Otherwise, there is no lively and festive atmosphere during this New Year's holiday!

Pity!

He invented gunpowder for the prosperity of the world and the prosperity of fireworks.

But in this world, I am afraid that there will be no peace soon. Years after years of fighting, the artillery roared... I'm afraid I can't stop.

"This Tanabata Festival, the last night of great changes in the world!"

Chu Tianxiu sighed secretly in his heart.

...

Li Tiantian and Shen Wanbao, with a group of small Taoist priests, had already brought more than a dozen carriages of fireworks and firecrackers and parked them on the banks of the Qinhuai River.

The little Taoist priests were busy, planting huge fireworks on the ground, preparing to set off these fireworks and firecrackers.

These are all kinds of fireworks that they have spent nearly two months painstakingly researching.

Even when they did fireworks experiments, they hid in the remote mountains and old forests, and did not dare to let outsiders see them. It is to ensure that on this day, the people of Jinling City will see a huge surprise.

Tonight's fireworks festival is a grand promotion.

As long as it is a hit tonight, then their fireworks can be sold all over the city. It has become Jinling City, a necessary festive thing for the New Year's Festival.

"Old fairy, you said that just to hear the sound of fireworks, are those people willing to spend this money to buy them?"

Shen Wanbao was uneasy in his heart.

In order to develop beautiful fireworks, he invested tens of thousands of taels of silver before and after, and his private money was almost gone.

If this fireworks project fails again, he will be embarrassed.

"Hanging!"

Li Lao Shenzhu shook his head, "The common people are just trying to buy firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea, how can they have spare money to buy this thing."

Only those rich people who are idle and have a pain in the egg will spend money on useless things .... But this firework is useless, so it's going to explode in the sky! .... Then, there is no then. ”

Li Lao Shenstick is not optimistic at all.

But there's no way back!

The two of them had failed in their previous flying rocket project.

For a while, there was no other way of thinking.

Xiao Duhou said that fireworks and firecrackers can make money.

That's all they can do.

Take a gamble!

If this fireworks can't be sold well tonight, he Li will naturally have to live a hard life.

...

Chu Tianxiu took Li Yu and boarded the smoke and rain painting boat on the bank of the Qinhuai River.

This luxurious smoke and rain painting boat is moored near the Sansheng tree at the moment.

This is the main stand.

It is also the place where he, the Yin of Jinling Mansion, presided over the fireworks festival on the night of Qixi Festival.

Fireworks, of course, are best seen at night.

The entire Yanyu Painting Boat has been surrounded by hundreds of officials, and no idlers are allowed to enter.

Only the officials of Jinling Prefecture, as well as the gate valves, princes, ministers, gate lords, and gentlemen of various prefectures in Jinling City, and other distinguished guests with status, can enter this smoke and rain painting boat.

One after another, many VIPs entered the painting boat and occupied a good position, ready to watch the fireworks festival.

...

Many ministers heard the news that the Marquis of Jinling Mansion Yin Xiaoduan was going to hold a Qixi Festival on the bank of the Qinhuai River, and they all invited them to join in the fun.

The old prime minister Xie Huyong, accompanied by some young children of the Xie family, also came to the Qinhuai River for a stroll.

He sighed with emotion, he had been idle at home for most of the past half a year, and he had no official position, and his past grievances were also put down.

If you think about it, what Xiao Duhou has done over the years... It doesn't seem that bad either.

Dusk Hou paper, "Da Chu Di Bao", imperial examinations, steel, gunpowder... The Great Chu Dynasty was thriving day by day, getting better day by day.

The life of the common people is down-to-earth, and it has not gotten worse.

He is seventy or eighty years old, and he wants to enjoy his old age in peace, with a full house of children and grandchildren, and he will be satisfied when he sees the prosperity and peace of the world with his own eyes.

...

On the banks of the Qinhuai River.

A restaurant was quietly chartered by a group of mysterious people. A group of black-clad armor soldiers dressed as the Imperial Forest Army circled the inside and outside. Even the shopkeeper and the shopkeeper can't get in.

Emperor Xiang Yanran, Empress Cui, Yang Guifei and some other concubines are sitting in the restaurant at the moment.

During this time, the government affairs of the court were quite busy, and the emperor just went out of the palace to take a walk and relax with the queen and concubines. I don't want to make too much movement, and I don't have too many followers.

"On the day of Qixi Festival, the emperor, the queen, and the concubine rarely have half a day's leisure, and go out of the city to see the grand scenery of Jinling City."

Cai and the big eunuch took a group of small eunuchs and waited on the side.

"I heard that Xiao Duhou held a fireworks festival on the bank of the Qinhuai River. But I don't know what this fireworks are? I heard people say that this is a very beautiful thing. ”

Empress Cui smiled.

"Little Dusk often makes some strange things out. I heard that this firework was an idea from Xiao Duhou, and it should be a rare thing that Old Immortal Li and Shen Wanbao made together.

If it weren't for the extreme beauty, Xiao Duhou would definitely not personally host this fireworks event, which damaged his reputation over the years. ”

Yang Guifei said.

Xiang Yanran said with a smile: "This firework is said to be made of gunpowder, which is also rare. I never thought that this gunpowder was so powerful and unusually powerful, like thunder roaring, how could it be extremely beautiful?! Check it out! ”

...

Monk Dahai held a Zen staff, wore a golden robe, and took more than a dozen newly accepted monk apprentices, and hurriedly walked towards Sansheng Bridge with a look.

"Master, what are we going to do here?!"

The little monk asked.

"For the teacher to observe this celestial phenomenon, the stars are moving, the Ziwei Emperor Star is flickering and dim, and there are great changes in the world. Tonight, Xiao Duhou presided over the Qixi Conference in the Qinhuai River, I am afraid that there will be a big change.

He traveled thousands of miles to the east for his teacher, but he had not yet completed the great cause of spreading Buddhism to the east. The Buddha must not have an accident, as a teacher and help the Buddha! ”

Monk Dahai had a serious face.

"Yes!"

The monks said.
