When Hu Buxian left, his steps were brisk.

The eldest grandson Hong also had a smile on his face and sent him out of the gate of the post house.

So when a chamberlain from the Ministry of Rites hurriedly came from the yamen to prepare to settle the dispute between the envoy and the Imperial City Division, he saw a very harmonious scene.

Changsun Hong and Hu Buxian waved each other and said goodbye with a smile, but when the guards on both sides jumped down from the roof, they were a little out of place, slightly ruining the friendly atmosphere.

The post man of the Gusu Post House was full of confusion, and he couldn't understand why the two groups of people who were still fighting in ping-pong a quarter of an hour ago stayed behind closed doors for a while, and they were all happy.

He touched his chin, thought and thought, and finally figured it out: Perhaps, this is politics.

Hu Buxian explained to the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, with his position, he could make up a reason to fool him.

The eldest grandson Hong turned around and entered the courtyard, and when he passed by Yicheng, he nodded with a smile.

Yi Cheng was very emotional, and felt that the people of Dali were open-minded, and they were harassed and provoked by the people of the Imperial City Division for no reason, and they also moved, but they were still able to put down a lot of gently, and they were replaced by Mongolians, and Hu Buxian's gang was afraid that it would be difficult for them to get out alive.

He didn't see that in the eyes of Changsun Hong, who turned his back on him, the coldness and anger hidden in it, and the big sleeves of the white robe, tightly clenched into a fist.

The fist and skull rattled, almost trying to get out of the water.

……

The weather in Lin'an is generally very good.

The scenery of the south of the Yangtze River rarely occurs in extremely cold and hot disaster weather, and the white clouds in the air are leisurely, bringing gusts of breeze and blowing the Songzi banner of hunting and flying in the city.

This is the ninth day of Changsun Hong's arrival in Lin'an, and the annual Xia Yuan Festival happens to be on this day.

As the Taoist water official festival, but also as a harvest festival, although the Xia Yuan Festival is not as grand as the Zhongyuan and Shangyuan festivals, the government will also have a three-day holiday, the yamen is closed, and the scattered dynasty is on holiday, and the whole world celebrates.

There are no lanterns to patrol the streets during the Xia Yuan Festival, there is no stage set up on the West Lake for the people to have fun, but it is still very lively, the shops all over the street are changing their ways to attract customers to patronize, and the Goolan tiles will also release the Oiran leaders of their respective town buildings, and open a three-day festival in the name of the festival, and even the meat butchers in the wide and narrow alleys will be discounted in these days.

The residents of the city, whether rich or poor, will relax during these three days, let go of the fatigue of running around on weekdays, and those who are rich will either go out with their families for an autumn outing, sing all the way in the white horse incense car, or call friends to indulge in lust, spend money like flowing water and throw silver money, just for the absurdity of that night. And those who have no money will also put two taels of red meat on the table, wrapped in lotus leaves, and take them home to cook a little meat dishes for their wives.

Large households, even buy back some fireworks, set off at the beginning of the night, of course, the news has been released during the day, the ordinary people in the vicinity usually look forward to it, while looking forward to the brilliant fireworks exploding in the night sky, and the stars are bright, while using an envious tone, the gossip about how rich the big family of fireworks is, how many famous people have in the family.

Of course, if you want to say that you are rich and powerful, the home of Jia Nidao, the deputy envoy of the system along the river, can definitely be regarded as the number one.

It is generally inconvenient for Jia Guifei in the palace to return to the door, but on a festive day like the Xia Yuan Festival, she will also ask someone to bring back some rare goods that are only available in the palace, such as the huge fireworks that are almost as high as the beams of the house that are being placed in the courtyard of the Jia family at the moment.

Such a large fireworks, of course, are not convenient to transport back to the hometown of Tiantai County, which is far away, so they are placed in this house of Jia Rudao in Beijing.

On one side of the huge courtyard, there is a hall house with two entrances, which is very spacious and cleaned, and many tables and chairs are placed, and the family members of the Jia family in Beijing, including Jia Zheng, the head of the Jia family who came to the city from Tiantai County for the festival, and Jia Zongwen, the cousin of Jia Yidao, are all sitting in it.

There are seasonal melons and fruits, snacks and cakes on the table, and sugar water boiled with honey to accompany the meal, and the little guy puts a pot of carbon stove under the feet of the old man, after all, it is late autumn, and the temperature at night is a little low. And a group of invited troupes, babbling and blowing on the other side of the courtyard, singing a play of Danjiao, looking through the courtyard, the people sitting in the hall watched with relish.

"Over the years, the Jia family has spread out its branches and leaves, and the ancestors have appeared and taken care of it, and some talents have been produced, such as your Shixian and your sister, all of whom are good children of the Jia family, and relying on you, the Jia family is where it is today." Jia Zheng's demeanor is a little older than when the children of the Jia family were slaughtered in Dadu River, Xichuan, after all, he is an old man, and his body is not as good as day by day: "If my eldest brother knows what is under the spring, he will also be blind." ”

"Second uncle, don't talk about these things on happy days." Jia Rudao smiled and poured him a cup of tea, the old man didn't like sugar water, but the tea was a little more appetizing: "The Jia family is flourishing, it is all the credit of your old helm, where do the juniors dare to say the credit." ”

"Look at what Shi Xian said, how well you say, you all want to learn." Jia Zheng's eyes narrowed with a smile, and he pointed to Jia Yidao and said to the young people of the Jia family on the left and right: "Shi Xian's future is limitless, you have to help him well, the generation of the Jia family depends on him." ”

Jia Zongwen and others all echoed loudly, and some people immediately sent congratulatory messages like flattery, obviously an article that had already been done, and they took it out at this moment and touted it.

Jia seemed to smile reservedly, enjoying the aura of the stars holding the moon, stood up, and bowed his hand again and again.

"Sit, Shixian, sit." Jia Zheng patted the chair and motioned to Jia Yidao: "I heard that in the past two days, the official family has stripped Meng Hui and others of their military power in the court, is it true?" ”

"It is true, it happened yesterday morning." Jia Rudao nodded, sat down and spoke: "Meng Heng is so sick that he can't get out of bed, and the official family immediately approved the table brought by the trustee, and took away his Jinghu envoy, and this position is currently vacant." ”

"I heard that the official family intends to let you sit in this position?" Jia Zheng asked again.

Jia Rudao smiled, showing an expression of wanting to refuse and take a leave: "Lord Meng recommended me in the above table, Shi Songzhi, Dong Huai and other adults also admired me, and there were many civil servants in the DPRK and China, and there were not a few who seconded it. ”

"So, what do you mean?" Jia Zheng leaned closer and asked in a low voice.

"Of course I'm going." Without thinking, Jia Rudao blurted out: "Jinghu is an important place, how many privy envoys have risen from this position, if I want to go further, I have to go." ”

He looked at the hustle and bustle of the family around him, and said: "The Jia family is not enough to rely on my sister's path, the most ruthless emperor is the heart, my sister doesn't know when she falls out of favor and has no official position that can be suppressed, and the glory of the Jia family today will soon be lost." ”

"What you think is exactly what I want to say." Jia Zheng was relieved and breathed a sigh of relief: "I'm still worried that Jinghu is facing the northern captives, will you worry about the war and refuse to do this errand." ”

"Of course not." Jia Rudao laughed: "Although I am a literati, I am not ignorant of soldiers, I have also fought battles, and I have seen dead people, so why be afraid?" ”

Jia Zheng touched his white beard with satisfaction, smiled with satisfaction, picked up the teacup, and touched Jia Rudao.

"Alright, let these go beforehand." Jia Rudao noticed that on the other side of the city in the distance, there were several extremely dazzling fireworks, rushing into the sky, and couldn't help but stand up and said with a smile: "Someone has already started to smoke, we can't fall behind." ”

He clapped his hands, quieted the people in the room with applause, stood in front of the hall, pointed to the tall fireworks rack in the courtyard and said: "This fireworks was sent by my sister from the palace, I heard that when it explodes, it can jump to the ninety-nine heavens, and the official family also released this, today we will open our eyes, second uncle, you come and order the fire." ”

"Okay." Jia Zheng stood up slowly, his eyes lit up, he took a piece of incense from a servant's hand, put it to his mouth and blew it, and the incense had already been ignited, and it was immediately blown out of red light.

This is considered a fire, and the servant runs out with a smoke, lights the incense on the long fuse under the fireworks stand, and when the fuse is lit, he runs away in a hurry.

The courtyard was noisy, the children jumped around excitedly, the adults looked at the sky expectantly, and the fire emitted when the fuse burned, like people's mood of looking forward to a better future, red and red.

"Bang!"

The first fireworks, with a piercing scream, burst into the sky, exploded in mid-air, and burst in all directions, shooting brilliant light.

The light is colorful, there are blue and red, purple and green, and the fireworks are much more beautiful than ordinary fireworks, and they suddenly suppress the fireworks on the other side of the city.

The atmosphere reached a climax in an instant, and the Jia family's compound was shouting excitedly, and even around the Jia family's mansion, countless ordinary people who watched the excitement shouted happily.

It is indeed difficult to see such good-looking fireworks, and only a wealthy family like the Jia family can afford such expensive fireworks.

One after another, the fireworks flew into the sky one after another, high and low, staggered, and painted a colorful picture on the black night sky curtain.

It is difficult for the best painters, the most skillful of skilful, to depict such a captivating light and brilliance.

Everyone's eyes were attracted by the fireworks in the sky, looking at them stupidly and cheering happily.

So no one noticed that on the high wall of the Jia family, more than ten black shadows were on it.

When a black shadow leaps down from the wall, it has a sharp blade reflection at its side.
