Xuanfu is different from the capital, the most lively thing in the year is not the first day of the Lunar New Year, but the fifteenth Lantern Festival, the reason is because of the fireworks display at this Lantern Festival.

As the closest border town to the capital, Xuanfu has a unique advantage, that is, the supply of gunpowder saltpeter. This kind of thing is a militaristic instrument, and there are few folk circulation, even if other places want to hold this fireworks display, it is very difficult, unless it is possible in those places in the south of the Yangtze River that are already extremely rich.

It is also a beautiful day, and the fifteenth day of the first month of the first year of Zhengde is a sunny day, so the sky will become dark, and Xuanfu City will be noisy again.

This year's Lantern Festival will definitely be more exciting than in previous years, and everyone thinks so in their hearts. In previous years, the Lantern Festival also had a color head, but it was just some silver money, this year is a big deal, I heard that the governor and the governor discussed, and decided to take the Tianxiang Lou head Yang rebel's deed as a color head!

Who is Yang Rebel? That's the god of Xuanfu music, besides, in addition to the attainment of music and rhythm, I heard those who have seen her talk about it, she is also as moving as a song, a first-class beauty, and the beauty of the country! The two adults really spent a lot of money this time, wanting to make the Lantern Festival Conference brilliant, and they actually came up with such a colorful head, tsk, they really love the people like children.

The effect of this color is really good, not only Xuanfu City, even Baoan Prefecture, and even Datong have come to people, and the big merchants in the city are even more enthusiastic, including Houdefang, which was in the limelight a few years ago, has signed up, which is really exciting.

Ordinary people naturally know that the lottery has nothing to do with them, but being able to participate in such a grand event can be an eye-opener in itself, and it will have a lot of talking points in the future. Besides, since there are so many participants, the performance is bound to be even more exciting.

Although the craftsmen in the local garrison were excellent, everyone also believed that the lottery would not fall into the hands of outsiders. But since there are so many competitors, I think the craftsmen will definitely pull out all their spirits and go all out. Previous years were so exciting, and this year is even better than previous years, and it will definitely be an unforgettable Lantern Festival conference.

The most eye-catching of the participants was the Ho Tak Place, and people were amazed that the proprietors of the Ho Tak Shop were really versatile and had to get involved in everything. From storytelling to fighting, you can even have a martial arts competition, and now you are participating in the Lantern Festival, is it really omnipotent? Otherwise, how could ordinary people understand this gunpowder saltpeter technique?

Unlike firecrackers used in ordinary people's homes, the fireworks used in the Lantern Festival must be those that can fly into the air before exploding. Where did ordinary people get this, it would be bad if one accidentally blew himself up, and I don't know if the boy was really trapped by love, so he tried his best, if it was, it was really sighing.

People who have watched the fight are embarrassed, these two people are also talented and beautiful, a match made in heaven, but the adults just beat the mandarin ducks, what a pity. Although there are many people who hope that Xie Hong will win and achieve a good story, this is just a good wish, and this is ...... Alas, it's too hard.

No matter what your thoughts are and what your purpose is, in short, the center of Xuanfu tonight is in Qingyuan Tower, and the crowd is surging, going straight to the bell tower.

"Lord Zhang, Xuanfu has such a beautiful scene, and the herdsmen are all in a good way."

Upstairs in Qingyuan, Governor Zhang Nai sat in the middle, and Shen Patrol and Chief Soldier Zhang Jun sat aside. Seeing that the popularity downstairs was at its peak, Shen Xun was also overjoyed, there were so many people here, as long as there was chaos at that time, then he would take advantage of the chaos to detain the crime on Xie Hong's head, presumably no one would have time to care, maybe they wouldn't need Xiao Liu's father-in-law to appear on the stage, and the problem would be solved.

"Yes, thanks to the Governor's strategy, in previous winters, the Tartars often went south to enter the Kou, but this year the Tartars are nowhere to be found. Presumably, it is the prestige and respect of the adults, even those savages are afraid of the adults, so they dare not attack. "Mr. Zhang is not far behind, and his flattering words are even more numb than Shen Xun's.

This rough billet is so shameless, dare to say such words, Tartar obviously came once in the middle of the year, how can there be a reason to come again at the end of the year? Even if you come again, you should change places, don't you think the old man understands?

Shen Xun was a little unhappy in his heart, he actually didn't need to flatter Zhang Nai, but he was happy today, and he might need the other party's help later, so he took the opportunity to compliment Zhang Nai. As a result, that vulgar martial artist actually followed along, could it be that he regarded himself as a person like him? Joke.

But it's also strange, Shen Xun glanced at Zhang Nai, he knew that this governor was the best name. Although these compliments don't even believe the people who say them, Zhang Nai likes them, and every time he listens to them, he will twist his beard and smile, and then casually humble, but he will be in a good mood.

But today, Zhang Nai is obviously absent-minded, and even gets up from time to time and looks downstairs, but he doesn't know what he is looking for. Shen Xun was puzzled in his heart, could it be that this old puppet was also moved by Yang Rebellion, and then sent his own family to participate in the competition? If that's the case, you should pay attention, if he waits to cooperate, then it doesn't hurt to give him this favor.

It's just that this old man is old, and he still thinks about those things, which is really ridiculous. When Shen Xun looked at Zhang Nai again, he couldn't help but have a trace of disdain in his eyes, the eldest husband is alive, power, wealth and wine, only power is the most exciting, what is the matter with studying hard in the cold window? Isn't it just a power word?

With power, that wealth and fame and fortune are not rolling in, Zhang Nai, the old horseman, is really not enterprising, no wonder he was put to this town as a governor as a dignified envoy.

"It's coming, it's coming!"

The bigwigs upstairs had their own thoughts, but the people downstairs were very simple, and the crowd cheered when they saw someone carrying fireworks into the venue.

"It's from General Yang's house, and Chang'e Benyue, who won the first place the year before last, is from his family, and I don't know what kind of good goods have been prepared this year." If you recognize it, start pointing at it and explain it to those you don't recognize.

"Deputy General Tao's mansion is also here, the Jade Rabbit who won last year made the medicine made by his family, and this year eighty percent will win again, right?"

"What do you know? In the first two years, Zhang Zongbing deliberately released water for the sake of the face of his colleagues, who can compare to the many craftsmen in the General Soldier's Mansion? The lion rolling hydrangea back then came from the General Soldier's Mansion, so it was called a first-class power! Not to mention the legendary Hundred Birds and Phoenix, do you see it, Master Lin Bailin, the leader of the craftsmen in the General Military Mansion, is here, and the General Military Mansion is going all out. ”

"It's hard to say, in addition to these families, there are also people from Datong and Baoan Prefecture, and they can't do it either?"

"It's far away, the people of Baoan Prefecture have already gone home during the pre-selection, and the people in Datong Town have passed the pre-selection, but they take out the goods, alas, that's the same thing, not to mention these three, even if it is compared to Hou Defang, it is far inferior."

"Hearing you say that, did Houdefang pass the pre-selection? It seems that Gongzi Xie has a lot of hope. ”

"Hmph, the pre-selection was passed, but what they made that day was not very good, compared to people outside Xuanfu, it was not bad, but compared with the craftsmen of our Xuanfu Town, it was far worse."

"What kind of fireworks did Houdefang do? Did you see that? ”

"Of course I saw it, didn't my cousin's aunt's nephew work in the governor's yamen? He secretly told me the place, so I went to take a look, and the name of the project made by Hou Defang is called Rhino Moon Looking, which is still spectacular, but it is nothing more than that. The form is still vivid, but the color is not beautiful enough, and the duration is short......"

"Alas......" The well-informed man pretended to sigh, "That Gongzi Xie is also desperate, but the interlacing is like a mountain, even if he tries hard, I'm afraid it will be empty." ”

"Chen Heimao, listening to your tone, it seems that you are gloating, that Gongzi Xie has offended you?"

"How can Lao Tzu gloat? Besides, even if Lao Tzu gloated, the kid surnamed Xie deserved it, a foreigner, came to Xuanfu City to make such a big splash, and wanted to take the number one beauty of Xuanfu home, of course Lao Tzu was not happy. Chen Heimao said stupidly.

"That's right, but no matter who is cheaper, it will never fall on your head, what are you doing here? I see, you're calling the toad want to eat swan meat, hahaha......"

There was a burst of laughter from the crowd.

"Look, the people of Houdefang are coming......" At this time, someone shouted, only to see two carriages coming from the west along the Bell Tower Street, everyone recognized that the carriage in front of it was black and big, it was the signboard-like carriage of Houdefang.

The window of the carriage in the back was lifted in a corner, and two pairs of big eyes looked at the bustle outside.

"There are so many people, I don't know if Brother Hong can win today." Qing'er was a little worried, Xie Hong didn't put his mind on the fireworks these days, but handed them all over to Zeng Zheng, the little girl had confidence in her brother, but not in others.

"Don't worry, Qing'er, and my eldest brother." Yue'er patted her little chest and said, "Yue'er's eldest brother is amazing, and grandpa often praises him, saying that he was far inferior to his eldest brother when he was young." ”

"But......" the little girl hesitated a little, "Brother Zeng seems to be a little unreliable, and often runs to ask Brother Hong questions, and every time Brother Hong has to explain for a long time before he can understand." Then two days later, he came again, and once I saw it, Yue'er's eldest brother was stunned by what Brother Hong said, which really made Qing'er very worried. ”

"This......" Yue'er was stumped now, who made her eldest brother not angry? At the beginning, he could bluff Brother Hong, but later he simply became Brother Hong's apprentice. The little girl sighed, "Alas, anyway, Qing'er, you don't have to worry, although the eldest brother is stupid, but with Brother Hong to teach him, he will be smart." ”

"That's right, Yue'er, what you said makes a lot of sense." Qing'er was also a little relieved.

Hearing Qing'er praise herself, Yue'er became even more proud, so the little girl completely abandoned her eldest brother.

"Right? Although the eldest brother is stupid, he is still very diligent, grandma said: diligence can make up for clumsiness, stupid birds fly first, eldest brother is like this......"

The two little girls didn't speak loudly, but Xie Hong's ears were so good that he still heard their conversation outside the carriage. Xie Hong was powerless to complain about Yue'er's wonders, but he was glad that Zeng Zheng stayed in the carriage in front of him and watched his works, otherwise, if he heard Yue'er's nonsense, he didn't know if it would affect his state.

In fact, Zeng Zheng's comprehension is so high, but Xie Hong, a traverser, is amazed. If Zeng Zheng is allowed to travel back, maybe there will be a super chemist in the future, at least Xie Hong has been stumped by his inferences many times now, so much so that he has to use some later terminology to push back.

As for the pre-selected works that are not good, it is just because Xie Hong knows that the other party has a conspiracy, so he deliberately shows weakness, and when they see the final work, hehe, Xie Hong thought with a wicked smile, and he will lose a lot of jaws.
