To put it mildly, Xie Hong can be regarded as sending the little girl Baoqin away.

This little girl didn't have so much confidence in Xie Hong, and after listening to his methods, she thought that Xie Hong was perfunctory, so after Ma Wentao left, she still looked at Xie Hong with tears in her eyes. Xie Hong was so big that she couldn't help but wonder if the Xie Hong before he crossed over had a relationship with Yang Rebel, otherwise why was this thing so weird?

Ma Wentao left, and he personally sent it away, and after returning to the study, other people looked at him strangely, which made Xie Hong a little crazy, my brother is really innocent.

"Brother Xie, I heard that you are going to participate in the Lantern Festival?" Xie Hong didn't have a headache when he saw Ma Ang for the first time, savior, with the chatterbox, how much can he divert the attention of others, right?

Ma Ang came back with Ma Wentao, and he didn't know how these two met on the road, and when he heard about it, he was also excited. Seeing Xie Hong nodding in confirmation, he said happily: "Brother Xie is really talented, he can even make fireworks, Brother Xie, do you have a manuscript now?" Do you want a lion to roll a hydrangea or a hundred birds to catch a phoenix? ”

Without waiting for Xie Hong to answer, he said with a wistful face: "Last year, the Jade Rabbit was also very good, and my little sister liked it very much, by the way, and the most brilliant thing the year before last was Chang'e Running to the Moon, wow, Brother Xie, what are we going to do in a few years?" When it comes to creativity, I'm pretty good at it, you know......"

The series of nouns he said made Xie Hong a little dizzy, the lion rolls the hydrangea, Chang'e runs to the moon, these are all divine things? Why has my brother never heard of it?

"Wait, Brother Ma, let me ask you first, what are you talking about? It's the name of the fireworks, who came up with it, why are there so many tricks? Xie Hong hurriedly interrupted Ma Ang, wanting to ask for clarification.

"Brother Xie, you don't know?" Ma Ang was surprised, "This is the most brilliant fireworks name of the Xuanfu Lantern Festival in previous years, I don't know who gave the name, but even if I don't know the name, after reading it, I can say the same." ”

"What do you mean......" Xie Hong hesitated.

"Yes, for example, the lion rolling hydrangea, that is, fireworks form a lion in the sky, and there is a hydrangea under the feet; Chang'e running to the moon is fireworks transformed into a fairy, that time it happened to be a sunny day, the bright moon was in the sky, a fairy flew high, straight to the bright moon, that is not Chang'e to the moon? The Hundred Birds and the Phoenix are even more amazing......" Ma Ang said endlessly.

No way? Is this fireworks? Isn't this the Ming Dynasty, brother doesn't seem to have crossed over to the heterotopic plane, Xie Hong was stunned, isn't setting off fireworks just to see the sparks? I remember that there were not so many strange tricks in later generations, and occasionally I saw fireworks to form a national flag or something, and I heard that it was a special effect, how could there be such strange fireworks in the Ming Dynasty?

Don't be gossip and nonsense, right? Xie Hong thought of a possible surname.

"Brother Xie, you don't know this, so what kind of fireworks are you going to make? You were very confident when you agreed to hold the piano. Ling'er Bingxue is smart and cares about her rebellious sister, she originally believed Xie Hong, but now seeing that Xie Hong's expression is wrong, she can't help but feel a trace of sorrow in her delicate heart.

"You say this, in fact, ......" Xie Hong felt that he was quite thick-skinned, but he was still a little embarrassed to open his mouth at this time, could it be that he planned to make a cannon battle, and then according to the chemical knowledge he learned in later generations, that is, the flame color reaction, he would make a few big flowers? Well, twenty-four ringing ...... Well, now it's obvious that I underestimated the ancients, but I didn't expect the fireworks of this era to reach such a level, and I don't know why later generations didn't spread it? Xie Hong was very annoyed, this was all caused by not studying history well, if my brother had known that he would have crossed, he would have taken history lessons when he went to school, listened carefully, and reviewed well...... "Brother Xie, you really don't know?" Ma Ang also found out that something was wrong, and looked at Xie Hong dumbfounded: "I don't know this, you actually dare to agree to participate in the Lantern Festival?" ”

"Well, didn't there be this conference in previous years? Wouldn't it be better if we paid a lot of money to hire a master craftsman to help? Xie Hong had an idea and came up with a solution, since the skills and experience of later generations are not enough, then rely on the masters of this era.

After seeing those famous craftsmen from the capital, Xie Hong also has a deeper understanding of the level of craftsmanship and technology in this era, not only does not lag behind the rest of the world, but is far ahead.

"I'm afraid it won't work." Ma Ang shook his head, "Brother Xie, you don't know, saltpeter gunpowder is not spread among the people, and there are few corresponding craftsmen, even if there are some, the craftsmanship is not very good." In previous years, the winners were all in the shops of the general soldiers and generals in the army, but the craftsmen used were all in the army, and the craftsmanship of those people was excellent, but we couldn't invite them. ”

Xie Hong also knows that military households are basically regarded as the private property of generals, and the status of artisan households is much lower than that of military households, let alone that. Erniu's father was a blacksmith in the army back then, but later he was unwilling to do this, and turned to join the army, and went into battle to kill the enemy many times, and he didn't know how much credit he made, so he exchanged the scars of his body for escape.

Although I don't know what kind of thrilling story happened in it, Xie Hong has seen Erniu's father and his terrible scars. Uncle Zhang died so early, I am afraid it is also related to these old injuries.

It was so difficult for the Zhang family to get rid of it, so Xie Hong understood that it was impossible to fight the idea of these craftsmen in the army. Although he sold favors to Jiang Bin, Jiang Bin's official position is too small, but he is just a commander, and there is only a group of fighting men under him, and there will definitely be no craftsmen, even if he asks for help, it is in vain.

"Then ......" Xie Hong was depressed, this time it was different from making a piano, Dongjiazhuang would not be useful, he himself was even more useless, he only knew a little principle, even if he worked hard from now on, it was useless, because he didn't know how those craftsmen did it, and he could actually make fireworks form various patterns in the air, which was too advanced, right?

Xie Hong felt that he was very embarrassed, as a traverser and a craftsman, he actually made such an exclamation in the Ming Dynasty. But these craftsmen are really cheaters, obviously they are all military workers, okay? I didn't study firecracker cannons or TNT explosives, but I studied fireworks...... You're a cheater.

No wonder the firearms in the middle and late Ming Dynasty are getting worse and worse, and the roots are here. It's useless to complain in your heart, the problem still has to be solved, what should I do? Otherwise...... Please ask Uncle Zeng or Qian Ning to help? But although Uncle Zeng has a high status, he should not have much influence in the army, and Qian Ning, alas, does not have that kind of friendship.

"Brother Hong, Yue'er has a way." The two little girls didn't know when they also ran over, Qing'er saw that her brother was embarrassed, and her little face was full of worry, but this time the little girl couldn't help. What no one expected was that Yue'er suddenly spoke.

"Oh, Yue'er, what do you want again? Brother will make it for you when I go back to the music box, but now my brother is very busy, so you better go play with Qing'er first. ”

It was Yue'er who spoke, and Xie Hong was not surprised, this little girl was already everywhere, and she wanted to participate in everything, and then no matter what the outcome of the matter was, she would pester herself to ask for benefits, and this time it was estimated that it was about the same. So Xie Hong didn't even raise his eyelids, so he responded casually.

"Yue'er really wants to help, how can Brother Hong not believe Yue'er, Brother Hong, you bully Yue'er, Yue'er is going to cry." Yue'er looked at Xie Hong pitifully, and a layer of tears quickly appeared in her big crescent-like eyes.

"Then Yue'er will help my brother......" Xie Hong was speechless and even more helpless, this little girl is eccentric, how can she cry so easily? It's just that I don't know who I learned from someone that I was afraid of the girl crying, so I deliberately made this appearance to threaten myself, alas, what a headache, things are already tricky, and now there is another troublemaker.

"But...... Shouldn't you say 'please' when you ask someone for help? Grandma said that Daming is a state of etiquette, as a Ming people, we should be courteous and trustworthy, Brother Hong, you are too, you promised Yue'er and Qing'er before, to make a music box for us, but until now you haven't done it, you first don't keep your promises, and now you don't pay attention to etiquette......"

Xie Hong's head grew twice, I really want to see Yue'er's grandmother, the curious old man, I don't know how Uncle Zeng can stand it? Oh, by the way, the old man has passed away, he said sorry in his heart, and hurriedly said to Yue'er: "Please help Yue'er help my brother." ”

"Yes, Yue'er, if you have a way, you can help Brother Hong, Qing'er knows that you are the smartest." Qing'er is still the cutest, Xie Hong was very moved, and tears filled his eyes.

"Alas, Qing'er, you are too kind to always be deceived, Brother Hong has deceived us for so long, and you still help him speak." Yue'er took great care to educate Qing'er: "Grandma said: The act of selflessly helping others is very respectable, but such things can only be done occasionally, just like asking for help to say please, and you should ask for compensation for help, this is the ......"

"Okay, okay, Yue'er, my brother knows it's wrong, if you have a way, just say it, if it's really a good way, I will definitely pay you afterwards." Xie Hong really burst into tears, what a strange grandmother has to teach such a terrible granddaughter, what kind of divine logic is this.

"Okay, for Qing'er's sake, and for the sake of the reward you promised, Yue'er will help with this." Yue'er tilted her head and thought about it, then looked at Qing'er again, and nodded similarly, "Actually, Brother Hong, you are very stupid, don't you remember why Yue'er stayed in Xuanfu?" ”

This time it wasn't just Xie Hong, except for Ling'er, who was used to being cold, and her expression didn't change, everyone else rolled their eyes.

"What other reason is there besides staying and playing?" Xie Hong sighed, and was tricked by this little girl again.

"No, you forgot what Yue'er said when grandpa left?" Yue'er was very dissatisfied with everyone's attitude, and her mouth was high.

"Oh...... Seems to say to wait for someone? Xie Hong thought about it and said with some uncertainty.

"Yes, Yue'er was originally going to wait for the eldest brother." Yue'er clapped her hands and smiled: "Just ask the eldest brother for help with fireworks or something, the eldest brother is even more powerful than grandpa and dad in doing this." ”
