The fireworks bought back are all wrapped in red paper outside, and the New Year is also considered a festive and auspicious picture, the sky gradually gets dark, and the handymen in the kitchen of the house begin to serve food on the table, and the remaining people who have nothing to do gather in the wide courtyard, ready to watch the fireworks. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Although this strange thing is said to be made, but in addition to major festivals in Chang'an City, there are really few people who set off this thing, and I heard that the black ashes contained in this thing are the embers left over from the Taoist Taoist masters refining the elixir, which is very precious......

If Xuan Shijing knew that the people in the house would treat gunpowder like this, I am afraid that he would also smile bitterly, this thing can be made out of sulfur saltpeter and other messy and worthless things as soon as they are blended, what kind of elixir embers, pure nonsense.

The lower corner of these fireworks wrapped in big red paper has a three-inch-long lead, and the reason why it is so long is also for the sake of safety, if it is lit and it can't run, it will hurt people.

Xuan Shijing took the lit incense in his hand, and the people had already arranged the fireworks in the courtyard at one time, and Xuan Shijing only needed to light the fuses in turn.

"Poof! Boom! ”

A firework rose into the air, exploded, and scattered golden cremation, and the maids in the house were elated.

"What beautiful fireworks!"

"yes, it's beautiful."

Xuan Shijing ran around the courtyard and lit a few more fireworks.

At this time, the explosive rod at the entrance of the Hou Mansion also began to ignite, making a crackling sound.

The sound of bursting rods and burning echoed throughout Chang'an City, and some of the big families in Chang'an City also prepared a few fireworks and set them off in their yards.

Fireworks, although the height of the rise is not so high, but the mansion buildings in Chang'an City are generally low, and ordinary mansions can have two floors is already considered a large family, so standing a little higher, you can see the fireworks set off in the entire Chang'an City.

At least, at this time, Jinyang can vaguely see the fireworks set off in the direction of the Hou Mansion, at this time Jinyang is accompanying the eldest grandson queen to participate in the royal banquet in the Linde Palace, the door of the Linde Hall is open, looking out, an empty space, and the vision is naturally very good.

The people present in the Lin De Hall were all members of the royal family, and the vassal kings from all over the country also gathered together, naturally, Li Yuanjing was not there.

Although many of the royal family members present were wondering why King Jing Li Yuanjing was absent, they all had a tacit understanding and did not ask, if they did not shy away from it, His Majesty would naturally say it, and now His Majesty did not say it, so there was no need to ask about it.

Li Yuan, who has been cultivating in Hanyuan Hall for two days, has a little blood on his face today, and with the support of the two women in Hanyuan Palace, he sat next to His Majesty Li Er, while Empress Changsun was at the same table with Princess Jinyang and sat on the right hand side of His Majesty Li Er, and Concubine Wei, Concubine Yang, Concubine Yin, and Concubine De sat on the side of Empress Changsun's head.

What is surprising is that Xu Hui and Xu Jieyu and the martial arts talents who have only been promoted to talents this year are also seated, and they are arranged under the four concubines, and the two are seated together.

Sitting in the hall, on the left are the royal family headed by Li Xiaogong and Li Daozong, and on the right are the princes and princesses headed by Li Chengqian and the horses.

It can be said that this is a very pure royal family banquet, and His Majesty Li Er also said that this dinner does not need to be polite, it is all his own family, so the atmosphere in the palace is very warm.

This New Year, naturally a few happy and a few worried, now the Xuan Lindao family has moved out of the Dongshan Hou Mansion, since more than ten years ago to Chang'an to live in the Hou Mansion, the Li family is always calculating how to make Xuan Shijing have some accidents, the Xuan family is scarce, to this generation, there are only Xuan Shijing and Xuan Qing two men, if Xuan Shijing has an "accident", then the Xuan family, including the Hou Mansion, this huge family property, will fall on Xuan Qing's head, and Xuan Shijing's title will also fall on Xuan Qing's head, Now the business of the Li family in Hanzhong all depends on the Jingwang Mansion, and in the past six months, for some reason, there seems to be a problem on the Jingwang Mansion, and the Li family can't take care of it, so now the Li family's business has shrunk greatly.

But on the Hou Mansion, the Li family is not easy to start, thinking that the current Hou Mansion is enough to make the Li family jealous, the Li family in Hanzhong has written several letters to the Li family, if you can't catch the line of Jingwangfu, climb the Dongshan Hou Mansion will also be, if you can let the Tang Chamber of Commerce, which has been in the limelight in recent years, take care of it a little, the life of the Li family will definitely not be as sad as it is now.

Now the business community has spread in private, saying that the Shengtang Chamber of Commerce is an imperial businessman, and if it is next to it, it will naturally have a bright future.

The Li family smiled bitterly, in order to please the Jing Wangfu, the Hou Mansion had been offended miserably, and now the Wang family has planned to hand over the ancestral rites to Qing'er to inherit, making it clear that he wants to draw a clear line with his own family, and what reason is there to be cheeky to ask others to take care of him......

"Madam, what are you doing for the New Year? Hurry up and eat. Xuan Lindao looked at Li Shi in a daze and asked out loud.

Now Xuan Lindao's family lives in a small mansion in Chang'an City, which is said to be small, compared to ordinary people, three in and three out, it can be regarded as a serious house, of course, it can't be compared with those dignitaries in Chang'an City.

When Li heard Xuanlindao's words, he came back to his senses, walked to the dining table, sat down and said: "I'm thinking, next April will be the big exam, if our Qing'er can be lifted, then our Xuan's family can also be in Qing'er's generation, and glorify our ancestors." As he spoke, Li glanced at Xuanqing, who was sitting silently at the dining table.

Xuan Qing smiled: "Our Xuan family, don't we already have Brother Jing, even if I excel in the exam next year, what can I do, I am just a petty official, and Brother Jing has been knighted." ”

When Li Shi heard this, his face fell: "Don't mention that kid, I have become a national candidate in a good way, and I don't know how to promote you, His Majesty loves him so much, and asks you for an official position, where do you need to study so hard." Wang complained: "Besides, next year Qing'er will inherit the Xuan family's ancestry, Xuan Shijing's kid, to put it bluntly, is not our Xuan family's species." ”

As soon as Li said this, Xuan Qing pursed his lips and didn't squeak again, and Xuan Lin said, opened his mouth, and wanted to say something, but looking at Wang's unhappy face, he swallowed the words that came to his mouth.

"Alas, look at people's New Year's Day, lively and lively, and then look at us, from the original high-level family, to the current small family, deserted and deserted......"

"Mother, just say a few words, after eating today, you have to keep the New Year." Xuan Qing saw that his mother was going to talk about it again, so he hurriedly interrupted.

"Yes, ma'am, let's eat first." Xuan Lin Dao couldn't help but have a headache now listening to Li's chatter.

During the Chinese New Year, in the mansion of the Xuanlin Dao family, there was no festive atmosphere at all...... (To be continued.) )
