This year's winter seems to be exceptionally short, and on the night of the Chinese New Year's Eve, the northwest wind has turned into a southwest wind, and there is not only no chill on the blowing surface, but also seems to carry a trace of spring warmth. Every household in Caiyun City used their Chinese New Year's Eve dinner very early this year, and most of them went out happily before it was dark. Driving a light carriage, the most is walking, people have gathered to the Jinsha River one after another, but an hour will be a large area, and there are many people from the surrounding counties and counties, also sitting in the carriages of each family, curiously looking not far away behind a row of guards in the Nanguo Mansion dressed in strong suits, there are six salutes tied with big red silk, and a cart of fireworks tied into a hill with colored satin. Everyone was talking about when their lord would show up in person, light the first salute of the night, and enjoy the Chinese New Year's Eve fireworks display with them.

On the eve of this year's Chinese New Year's Eve, the Nanguo Government suddenly informed the counties and counties that His Royal Highness the Dao Lord was not in good health and was not suitable for a banquet, and considering that all counties ran to Caiyun City on Chinese New Year's Eve, so that Chinese New Year's Eve could not accompany the elders at home to celebrate the New Year, so this year the banquet was canceled, and a fireworks display was held on the banks of the Jinsha River instead, and all the people in the city were allowed to watch together, which also meant to be happy with the people.

This kind of ceremonial activities is Zhao Sheng's best, but because he has not been at home on Chinese New Year's Eve in recent years, several children have complained, this year the mother in the family sent a lion roar, saying that he will not return home for the New Year, this year there is no need to enter the back house, frightened him hurriedly found Zhao Yu to go to the Nanguo Mansion to take leave, this night people did not appear on the bank of the Jinsha River.

This Wang Xiang has to take care of his belly for more than eight months, and he has ** Lu Tao, who came here, wanted to entertain the county magistrates and others who came from the surrounding towns, and did not let them get too close to Yao Jin's stands, so they were overwhelmed; Xuannu and Lin Yuebai did not dare to relax beside Yao Jin on the left and right, for fear that she would suddenly make or say something suspicious when she was still confused and delirious; only Zhao Yu and Liu Xiaolong were busy in the periphery, Liu Xiaolong was mainly responsible for patrolling and checking the people who came and went near the Jinsha River, so naturally he would not come to the river, and Zhao Yu was miserable, and there were too many people watching the fireworks for a while, and some people almost squeezed into the Jinsha River, so frightened that he shouted again and again to stopAfter a while, the guards in charge of lighting the fireworks confused the order of the fireworks, and they didn't know which one to order first and which one to order, and they also ran to him, Zhao Yu was busy with sore legs and smoke in his throat, and turned his head to see Wang Xiang chatting with the county officials from the surrounding area under the stands not far away, and couldn't help but call him over to complain.

"Mr. Xiang!

"Lord Zhao, what's the matter?" Wang Xiang had just sent a county order from Silla County, so he took a breath of relief, and when he saw Zhao Yu waving his hand to call him, he hurriedly walked over.

"This fireworks festival is really prepared in a hurry!" Zhao Yu took the teacup handed by Wang Xiang and drank it all, and pointed to the crowded people opposite: "Not only Caiyun City, but also many people from the surrounding counties and counties have rushed here, just now Liu Xiaolong sent someone to pass the word and asked if I could let people in, saying that there was a long queue outside! But we have only arranged so many people to maintain order, but you look at the situation here--I really can't resist it! Wait until a while the salute and fireworks will go up to the sky, I'm afraid that this scene will be even more chaotic!"

Wang Xiang turned his head to look at the position of the stand where Yao Jin was, pulled Zhao Yu aside, and said: "Why this fireworks festival is being held and why it was decided in such a hurry, Lord Zhao, you also know, isn't there no way to do it! After a while, His Highness only needs to walk down the stand to the river, show his face and light a fire, and then he can go back, she doesn't need to say a word, but all kinds of rumors in the country can be debunked. The more people who come today, the sooner the rumors that His Highness is seriously ill and difficult to recover will be able to dispel themselves, isn't that exactly what we intend? ”

"But Your Highness, she-" Zhao Yu thought about the situation when it took a lot of effort to get Yao Jin out of the Nanguo Mansion this evening, and couldn't help but look at Wang Xiang suspiciously: "She doesn't want to go out of the house at all, it's not easy to come to this stand, you said let her light the fire—can it?"

"It's up to Miss Lin, and now she is the only one who can say a few words to His Highness. Wang Xiang sighed and said to Zhao Yu: "Before the hour comes, we will still arrange the surroundings properly, and if there is anything wrong with His Royal Highness in a while, we are all nearby, so we can deal with it." ”

"Well, that's all there is to it. ”

Zhao Yu scratched his head, turned his head to get busy, Wang Xiang also hurried back to the side of the stands, just when he saw that Xuannu opened the veil on the stands and was about to come down, he stretched out his hand: "Be careful." ”

"It's fine. Xuannu held Wang Xiang's hand and smiled, showing her snow-white teeth: "Why is the adult here, today is Chinese New Year's Eve, you don't go to accompany your sister?"

"She has nothing to do there, but you, today Chinese New Year's Eve, I also want you to serve by His Highness," Wang Xiang saw that she was holding an empty bowl with a faint smell of medicine, and couldn't help but say, "Your Highness, she-oh no, Xuannu, you're not tired, are you?"

"Your Excellency wants to ask Your Highness how it is, right?" Xuan Nu stared straight at him with a pair of Danfeng eyes, and her smile was slightly frozen at the corner of her mouth, "Your Excellency, don't worry." His Royal Highness is in good spirits at the moment, and Miss Shicai Lin has also agreed with His Highness, and His Highness has agreed. ”

"This fireworks display was my idea, knowing that His Highness's spirit is not good, but I am still - it is me, it is my Highness who is embarrassed. Wang Xiang's eyes looked at the milky white veil, and said softly: "When she comes to her senses, I will definitely ask her for sin." As soon as she wakes up......"

Xuan Nu gently turned her head away from looking at Wang Xiang's eyes, but her gaze just fell on Lu Tao's seat not far away. Because in the late stage of pregnancy, Lu Tao's waist has gained a lot of weight, and although her face is a little white, she is in good spirits, but there is some inexplicable loss in her eyes when she looks at Xuannu. Seeing Lu Tao looking this way, Xuannu hurriedly greeted Wang Xiang and said loudly: "My lord, the hour is coming, please go back to your seat first, Your Highness will come out in a while." ”

Wang Xiang said "um", and saw that the guards began to prepare for the firing of the salute, and the noise of the crowd gradually quieted down. At this time, the Yuefu team was already in place, with a long drum sound, there seemed to be many drums with the sound, far and near, high and low drums surrounded the shore of Jinsha Lake, the lake surface rippled slightly, gently responding to the bursts of drums. In a moment, the torches on the newly built high platforms on both sides of the stands were lit up one after another, reflecting the nearby Jinsha River in a sparkling light, like the Milky Way flowing into the world, a piece of brilliance. At this time, twelve maids of the Nanguo Mansion walked to the front of the stands, eight of them carried palace lamps to stand on both sides, and four others walked up to the stands, and gently pulled the first layer of veil with both hands-
