Chapter Ninety-Six: The Yuan Day (Supplement)
But why is this happening?
Mrs. Wang thought that in fact, she seemed to feel the same way when she looked at Zheng Sheng, Wang Xiang, and Ma Hongshu now, in her eyes, young people like Wang and Ma were all juniors like Zheng Sheng!
But it seems that there is something wrong, that is, because she is not much older than Wang and Ma's generation, but Zheng Sheng is only ten years old, nearly ten years younger than Wang and Ma, but in her senses, the three of them are the same generation.
Even, Mrs. Wang felt that Wang Xiang was more uneven than Zheng Sheng, and now Zheng Sheng has not let Mrs. Wang worry about it. But the nephew who worries her everywhere is really annoying compared to her completely free-range son!
Mrs. Wang looked at Zheng Sheng, this kid is too precocious! She figured it out.
"Mother, it's almost ready outside, let's go out!" Zheng Sheng coughed, he also realized that this sentence was wrong, for women to raise their age, isn't he looking for death? So, change the subject!
Mrs. Wang was sighing, and when she heard Zheng Sheng's words, she also smiled, she glanced at Liu Wei'er, "Do you want me to go and see the fireworks you have researched?" You, kid, have been hiding from me for so long, just to show me today and make me happy? β
Zheng Sheng was stunned, he looked at Liu Wei'er, the little girl shrank back a little deeper, Zheng Sheng's heart was clear, he nodded and said, "Yes." β
"You're such a fool! So*γFireworks are dangerous, aren't they? You two children have been tinkering with it for a few days, but luckily there were no accidents, and you won't be allowed to do this again! β
Zheng Sheng hurriedly nodded yes.
The sky is getting darker and darker, but Qingzhuling is already brightly lit and still as day.
With the camp and small courtyard of Xishan as the center, the open space outside is full of bonfires, and a lot of sheep, chickens and other wild poultry and livestock are also burned on the bonfire.
When Zheng Sheng and Mrs. Wang arrived at the high platform of the Xishan Daying, Qiu Fuzi and Sima Xin had not yet arrived. But the Huang father and son, and Yuan Fangshi have already come.
Zheng Sheng didn't tell Mrs. Wang about them, but he couldn't hide the affairs of the family from Wang Zhong, so naturally he couldn't hide it from her. Therefore, Mrs. Wang just nodded to the three of them and then ignored them.
Soon, Qiu Fuzi and Sima Xin also came.
Mrs. Wang motioned to Zheng Sheng, can you start?
By this time, the people in front of the campfire had already noticed the people who appeared on the high platform. But Zheng Sheng didn't stand up and say something like that!
He directly signaled that Wanyun could start. Wan Yun nodded, turned his head and motioned for the family members in a vacant field cleared out of the school field not far away to start moving.
Wancheng, the residence of the king of Shunyang.
It is also brightly lit, the light and shadow are hazy, and the singing and dancing are leveled and staggered. But in the corner of the hall, Zheng Wen sat alone and restlessly, he was also hungry, but now he had no interest in the food in front of him. He nervously watched Zheng Ming, who was exchanging glasses with people not far away and kept drinking.
On the main seat, Sima Chang, the king of Shunyang, went to "change clothes", although he only said a few more words to Zheng Meng during the ceremony, and then Zheng Meng did not deliberately get close to the king, but Zheng Wen had already noticed Zheng Ming's abnormal behavior tonight, which made him even more uneasy.
What to do? Thinking of the letter Zheng Yunchi brought before, Zheng Sheng said that he would come to Nanyang in the first month, but Zheng Miao was going to make trouble today. Zheng Mi completed the conspiracy, is Zheng still Zheng?
Zheng Meng gritted his teeth, it's a big deal, he fought hard today, and Zheng Luo Yu broke the net!
Zheng Wen muttered a few words, and at this time, suddenly he heard a loud noise outside the window, Zheng Wen looked out of the window and saw a brilliant yellow firework in the sky.
Zheng Wen was taken aback, he thought that he had drunk an extra glass of wine, and he was dazzled, how could there be fire and flowers in the sky?
However, at this time, there was a sudden commotion in the lobby, Zheng Wen got up, and he saw that the servants in the courtyard were running in a panic.
The people in the lobby received the news from the people below, and discussed one after another: "Xiangrui? How is this possible? β
"A lot of people have seen it, there will be no fake ......"
He Yi, the county guard, stood up and frowned and ordered: "Zheng Bingcao, Yang thief Cao, you immediately bring someone to check!" β
Zheng Meng and another middle-aged man got up, and the two walked to the door side by side, and suddenly there was another sound, and then the two saw another bright light rise in the sky, and a red flame bloomed in the sky instantly!
Zheng Meng looked up in that direction and said slowly: "It's Ximen Xipingli, let's go, let's go over!" β
The people who heard the sound again had already walked out of the lobby, and He Yi and the two heads of the Nanyang City County Wang family looked at the deep night sky with a shocked heart.
"What a ruizhao!"
"Ruizhao has descended on Wancheng!"
At this moment, another yellow light suddenly bloomed in the upward night sky in the north of the city!
Long Bai, the head of the Long family, stroked his beard and exclaimed, "It's so auspicious, Lord He is really bothered." β
He Yi's heart was also up and down, he only looked at the fireworks in the sky, silent.
Zheng Meng hurried away with people.
The continuous fireworks seemed to be playing tricks on him, the first one was in the south of the city, then the west and north of the city, and then the fourth and fifth bloomed in the night sky east of Wancheng.
Zheng Miao seemed to have mastered the law, and he also vaguely felt the fact that he couldn't believe it.
But on this night, he could only brave the cold wind and arrest people everywhere.
"Divide the staff, go around and take a closer look, and the others will come with me!"
At this time, the king of Shunyang was supporting a thin old woman, and the two were standing in the backyard of the mansion, looking at the bright fireworks in the sky, she patted Sima Chang's hand and sighed: "Nanyang He Shuyin has a heart, and he actually made such a scene." β
Sima Chang also smiled on his calm face, "It's good if the concubine likes it." β
"Concubine, it's cold outside, let's go back and warm up!" On the side, a fat-faced housekeeper whispered.
The concubine didn't hesitate, because after seeing five or six bright fireworks, her depressed mood seemed to be a little brighter, "Okay, Xuan Shu, let's go, let's go back and talk well." β
Sima Chang nodded and walked in with the concubine.
Zheng Meng caught someone, he looked at the man dressed in his own family who was pushed to the ground by the county soldiers, walked up to the paper tube, picked it up and looked at it carefully, "Does this firework have such a big 'magic power'?" β
Zheng Wen, who took advantage of the chaos to run back to Zheng's house, learned that the so-called auspicious rui was caused by the fireworks of the gifts that Zheng Sheng brought to Zheng Yuan.
Zheng Wen was dumbfounded, thinking of the Shunyang Palace, which was still chaotic at this time, and everyone was talking about Xiangrui, Zheng Wen was both excited and suspicious: Could it be that Zheng Sheng was disrupting Zheng Ming's plan like this?
Zheng Yuan suddenly said to Zheng Wen: "Send someone to Shunyang immediately after dawn and ask Ke Wu, is there any more fireworks here?" Do whatever it takes, be sure to take a good look at this thing! β
Zheng Wen asked in surprise, "Father?" β
"Give this to the royal family, in his name." Zheng Yuan said slowly, "All the relationships and manpower that can be used are mobilized, and this matter must be known to the people of Wancheng tomorrow." β
And Zheng Sheng, who was far away in Qingzhuling, naturally couldn't imagine the result of his unintentional action of inserting willows.
At this time, Qingzhuling has become a sea of joy.
The fireworks are gone, and it is naturally more beautiful and grander than that of Nanyang City. The dumplings that were prepared to be put in the pot and the meat roasted on the bonfire have become delicious tonight.
Mrs. Wang watched the show while reminiscing about the fireworks.
It's a good show.
After the fireworks bloomed in the sky, as if he had suddenly fallen into madness, Yuan Fangshi knelt down in front of the high platform, opened his five fingers with his hands, pointed obliquely to the sky, and kept shaking: "Miracle! O miracles! The Heavenly Master has descended to earth! β
After the fireworks were over, Zheng Shengcai wordlessly asked people to drag him up and told him: "This is not a miracle, just fireworks." β
However, after hearing the explanation, Yuan Fangshi became even more excited, and he suddenly saluted Zheng Sheng reverently, "It turns out that this is the supreme ability that the Venerable Master has taught you!" β
Zheng Sheng hurriedly dodged, and then jumped away from the hand that Daoist Yuan reached out to grab his sleeve. In the end, after a while, Zheng Sheng easily asked the family to drag this "crazy" man away.
Zheng Sheng touched the sweat on his head, glared at Wan Yun and the others who were smiling and watching the play, picked up his dumplings that were already slightly cold, and started eating.
Sima Xin, who was as calm as water on the side, suddenly spoke: "Zheng Shizi, aren't you really learning this firework from a master outside the world?" β
Zheng Sheng chewed three dumplings in his mouth, and when he heard his question, Zheng Sheng swallowed the food and replied, "Yes." β
If he could really attribute all kinds of "magical" things to that Heavenly Master, Zheng Sheng wouldn't mind that he had an extra teacher who didn't exist at all.
Sima Xin nodded, "The vision of the master is naturally not bad. I also heard that Zheng Shizi's thousand-character essay is indeed brilliant. However, Zheng Shizi still has to spend more of his mind on learning, like this kind of banquet and big competition with the people, and try not to do it again in the future. β
Zheng Shengsheng swallowed the dumplings in his mouth, brother, are you going to dismantle my platform?
Qiu Fuzi smiled: "Naturally, naturally, Ke Wu is young, but he likes to have fun and mess around." When I grow up, I will naturally change. β
Zheng Sheng was sullen in his heart, play, play, okay, the master is just having fun, ignoring them, Zheng Sheng continued to bury his head in eating dumplings.
Sima Xin frowned, "Fun is fun, but there will be fewer fireworks in the future!" β
Zheng Sheng put down the bowl and asked with a smile, "Why is this?" "Did I mess with the fireworks?
"First, this thing is an open flame, and when it is burned, it will overflow with sparks, and if it ignites houses, farmlands, and granaries, it will be a serious disaster. Second, the sound of this thing is huge, young children and the elderly are frightened when they hear it, and livestock and poultry are disturbed and frightened away. Third, this thing is born with black smoke......"
Zheng Sheng listened to Sima Xin's statement of the seven major harms of fireworks, and finally he summed up, "Zheng Shizi, this fireworks are only for fun, and there are seven benefits for giving it up, why don't you do it?" β
"Lord Shinno, the seven evils you mentioned, I think they can actually be avoided, I set off fireworks today, but I burned the house? As long as it is lit in an open place, it will not burn down the house......" Zheng Sheng retorted one by one, he thought to himself, fireworks are his important plan, can he really let Sima Xin stir up like this?
