Dou Guangguo arrived in Longxi, but he was not in a hurry to get to Li's mansion. In Longxi in late autumn, the forests are dyed. Brother Li has lived in Longxi since he was a child, and this late autumn in Longxi is really as quiet and beautiful as Brother Li said. In the summer of the river, you once said, "Life is like the splendor of summer flowers, and death is like the quiet beauty of autumn leaves." But I think that even after being frustrated, Brother Li is still orange and yellow.

Dou Guangguo wandered around Longxi for two days, and thought about how to persuade Li Guang, so he came to Li's mansion cautiously. I made up my mind that no matter what, I would help Li Guang recapture the river, in which not only Li Guang's ambition, but also Dou Guangguo's blueprint for water conservancy.

"Young master, Dou Guangguo is here."

"When did you come?"

"I've been here for two days, and I'm here to visit me today."

"Please!"

The Li family, worthy of being the first wealthy family in Longxi, is on the top of the red vermilion lacquer gate, hanging a black old elm plaque, vigorously and powerfully inscribed "Longxi family". There are no less than 100 side rooms in one hall and two rooms, and the pavilions and pavilions are dotted with many layers.

The whole courtyard is paved with bluestone, carved beams and painted columns, surrounds the surroundings, is the main hall in the south, a color nanmu pane, six nanmu doors in the middle, two by two. Dou Guangguo is the honor of the uncle, and at this moment, the six doors are open, and Li Shang is in the middle with Li Guangying.

"Uncle Li is in good health, the young gentleman came in a hurry today, and the etiquette is not well prepared, and I hope that Uncle Haihan is still in good health." Dou Guangguo and Li Guang are good friends, in front of Li Shang did not dare to respect his uncle, seeing Li Shang personally greeted in front of the hall, busy asking the little maid to offer gifts, but it is a full set of royal wine bottles, ten altars of imperial wine in the palace, ten silk silk horses of Chang'an, dedicated to Li Shang, and a dragon sheep fat jade pendant, which is clearly Liu Heng's gift to the full moon of the household, and a white jade bell hairpin is a gift from Dou Yifang to Mrs. Li Guang.

"My brother-in-law and sister repeatedly told Shaojun before he left that this visit was an ordinary mutual visit, not a reward, and my uncle and Brother Li should not refuse."

Li Shang is accustomed to the emperor's reward, the royal wine silk, it is usual, but this dragon sheep fat jade pendant, is only the royal family can wear, Liu Heng in the central capital, once and Li Guang in the white mountain worship, from the dragon meritorious, never won a marquis and half a duke, at this moment lost the river, but the more reward, Liu Heng's meaning of this wooing, too obvious.

"The emperor's care, the old man understands it, but the dragon jade pendant also asked the uncle to return it on his behalf, and the small families in the mountains and wilderness dare not be so rewarded by the emperor."

"Uncle, don't shirk, today the young gentleman is not happy with the brother-in-law emperor, that is, he respects the will of his brother-in-law, and he visits ordinarily, this gift is naturally ordinary, and it is all the brother-in-law who can't ask for a cup of wine to drink when the eldest brother's eldest son is full moon, and he can't go in his heart. Wearing this dragon and jade decision, it is like taking care of your brother-in-law personally. ”

How could Li Shang not hear the meaning of Dou Guangguo's words, this is to give the household a talisman, and in the future, the household will embark on a frank career with the jade pendant. Liu Heng really made a lot of money, if he still resigned, it would make Liu Heng suspicious.

That is, when he visited as a friend, Dou Guangguo was welcomed to the inner house, and before the banquet, Dou Guangguo insisted on wearing the jade decision on the household in person, praising the wealth of the household, Dou Guangguo had doubts in his heart, this Brother Li's wife, it seems that he has seen it somewhere, but after searching his memory, he can't find the reason for the familiarity. handed over the white jade bell hairpin presented by Dou Yifang to Jia'er in person, greeted her sister a few words, and then withdrew according to the courtesy.

During the banquet, Dou Guangguo always courteously courtesy to Li Shang with his juniors, frequently toasted, and even showed friendship with Li Guang in his conversation. Dou Guangguo is good at writing and ink, and he is also good at opera, playing a good piano, drinking to a half-hearted, and personally touching the piano to help the fun.

Dou Guangguo's piano sound is beautiful, like a gurgling stream, the spring water is dingdong, and there is sadness, like an empty valley and an orchid, but there are a lot of that spirit, such as heroes. The sound of the piano is changeable, the original wind is light and the clouds are light, and thousands of horses are galloping in an instant, just like the autumn rainy season, the cool breeze and drizzle carry the prosperity of the distant future, the lead bloom is exhausted, the peaks are turning, suddenly and excitedly, making people intoxicated, such as being in person.

"A gentleman is in service, I don't know the period, what is it? The chickens perched on the ridge, the sun and the night, the sheep and cattle came down. A gentleman is in service, so why not think! A gentleman is in service, not day or month, why do you have a fortune? The chicken perches on the bar, the sun is shining, and the sheep and cattle are bracketed. A gentleman is in service, and there is no hunger or thirst."

After Dou Guang's national anthem, he stroked the piano with one hand, and the sound of the piano stopped.

"Big brother, the sons of the Han family have a lot of hard labor, and they don't know the period of their conscription, and they will not return day or month, what can I do? It's a pity that my Han has no royal Hu Tieqi, how many wives and children are looking forward to it, and how many royal women marry away from Hu Di and suffer humiliation. If I have many good generals and iron armor, why are I afraid of the troubles of the Hu people? ”

"The young monarch worries about the country and the people, it is really embarrassing, the injuries of the people Qin Chao have not yet been healed, and the internal strife has arisen one after another, there are Huns watching the tigers outside, and there are vassal kings fighting against the court, and few people in power are good at planning. Today, the Han Dynasty has been established for decades, recuperating and recuperating, and the people's livelihood is less than 20 million. Even if there are hundreds of thousands of iron cavalry, it is better to have an elite soldier against a hundred thousands. Li Guang will not forget Bai Deng's friendship. ”

The wine was half-drunk, the guests and hosts were happy, Dou Guangguo heard what he wanted to hear, and the trip to Longxi achieved the goal. Dou Guangguo still has three days to Longxi, but it takes more than a month to go back and forth to Chang'an, worried that Liu Heng will be difficult to be practical in Chang'an's heart, so he said goodbye to Li Guang on the second day, and rushed to Chang'an.

Dou Guangguo left, and Li Shang talked to Li Guang, so there was less cover. Li Guang's righteous anger replied, this was the true character of a man, but Li Shang was worried that Li Guang did not know how to advance or retreat, and committed a royal taboo. Confess to Li Guang, although he has a friendship with Liu Heng in Baideng, he must strictly abide by the duties of the monarch and minister, leave a handle, and be controlled by others.

Although Li Guang got Dou Guangguo's hint, he did not have Liu Heng's will, and it was difficult to recruit new troops in Longxi, which was exactly what Jia'er and Wang's intentions were. Li Guang accompanied Jia'er and the household in the house every day, taking the household every day, making the Wang family happy, late autumn to deep winter, for several months, clear and idle, and the Spring Festival in a blink of an eye.

Since last year, Li Guang has felt that no matter how hard he practices martial arts, there will be no obvious breakthrough in his ability, but if he is in a cheerful mood, it will help him communicate with the world. Knowing that he is already in the bottleneck, the only thing he lacks is the understanding of the Great Dao. Accompanying his family for several days made Li Guang feel more comfortable, and when the Spring Festival was approaching, he was thinking about how to add some fun to his family during the Spring Festival and make Wang and Jia'er happy.

In the past, every Spring Festival, the bamboo and wood were burned, and the crackling sound was not loud. Li Guang found the ignition black powder at Sanmao's residence, and knew that this was the initial gunpowder, but the proportion was improper and the burning was not violent. According to the rough formula of gunpowder, one nitrate, two sulfur and three charcoal, stirred evenly, and tried to light it with a fire twister, and sure enough, it sneered, and the yellow smoke became green smoke, and Li Guang knew that he had succeeded.

Now that the technical difficulties have been overcome, the next thing to do, there will be Sanmao to do, of course Sanmao is willing, if you don't do it, you won't get the gunpowder formula. On the tulle, it was evenly coated with gunpowder and mud by Sanmao, and it was twisted into a thin rope before it dried, and it was used as a lead. The bamboo that was left for burning during the Spring Festival was cut off in stages, one end was drilled, gunpowder was poured into it, a lead was inserted, and the gap was blocked with honey.

Li Guang was still not satisfied, so he slightly reduced the proportion of saltpeter, slightly increased the charcoal content, and expanded the bamboo void by a circle, but he was trying to make fireworks.

A few days before the Spring Festival, Jia'er and Cicada Jun saw Li Guang and Sanmao two mysterious and secret, and when they asked, both of them were silent, so they made a fuss, saying that it was Chinese New Year's Eve, and they knew that they knew it, which taught Jia'er, who was a new mother, to remember the arrival of the Spring Festival with Cicada Jun.
