Ancient Chinese emperors had a common problem, formalism. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info To put it bluntly, it's a good face.

From the exchanges between the two countries to the relationship between the monarchs and ministers, it does not matter whether they benefit or not, but whether they earn face is the key. In order to let the old emperor have more fun on his birthday, and remember his good by the way, Jiang Yun decided to kill his brain cells and toss something that could give the old emperor a face.

The aircraft cannon is counted on, and he doesn't have the ability to build it, and the whole fireworks come out, and it's not difficult to bother. But before that, you have to take some raw materials and experiment.

In this era, there have been some relatively cold fireworks, some similar to the dog's tail in later generations, but the workmanship is relatively rough, the volume is like the five hundred firecrackers, showing a long strip, hanging on the branches before the fireworks, and the sparks splash after ignition, it is beautiful, and there is a saying of iron tree silver flowers. However, in terms of scale, after all, the small family is a little angry.

The key is whether you can shoot the itch, and for this goal, it is imperative to get some gunpowder. Following the place that Gong Xi said, Jiang Yun walked out of Honglu Temple and walked straight to the north of the city.

Yonghe grocery store in the north of the city.

Under the low tree across the street stood a little girl of about twelve or thirteen years old. With black hair, a princess bun, a beaded hairpin on the bun, and a tassel hanging from it, she seemed a little bored, and the tassel swayed when she looked left and right. Her face was small, goose-egg-shaped, and white. Under the slender eyebrows, there are a pair of eyes as bright as stars, and she has been very beautiful at a young age, and she is a beautiful embryo.

With her hands behind her back, her back to the trunk of the tree, her legs crossed, her toes on tiptoe, and she kicked the pebbles beneath her in a bored manner.

Suddenly, his eyes lit up, as if he had discovered something, and he ran quickly to the other side of the street. There stood a young man in his twenties, slightly dark-skinned, thin, hunched back, and somewhat obscene in appearance. He was holding a bamboo pole in his hand, a bamboo box on top of the pole, and more than a dozen bright red sugar gourds were placed in the small holes of the red box in an orderly manner.

"Little girl, do you want to buy sugar gourds?" Looking at the girl who stopped in front of him, the young man put on a smiling face and greeted warmly.

Looking at the strings of seductive round beads, the little girl couldn't help but put her right index finger in her mouth, her eyes widened, and she asked vaguely, "Is it delicious?" ”

"It's delicious." The man said proudly: "Who doesn't know on the whole street, my Li San's sugar gourd is the best in the whole capital, sweet and sour, and you can't stop eating one." ”

"Really?" The little girl swallowed.

"Of course, how? Would you like a string? ”

"How much does a string cost?" The little girl asked with a wink.

"It's not expensive, it's a string of five cents."

The cute pink little tongue licked her lips, and the girl suddenly looked reluctant. "I don't have any money."

"Huh?" The man was stunned, seeing that she was dressed in high-quality fabrics, which looked like a child from a poor family, he couldn't help asking, "What about your parents?" Let them buy it for you. ”

When the girl heard this, she shook her head silently. "Father, mother, are all dead, when I was very young, I was killed by robbers."

Oops, feelings are orphans. The man looked at her, and suddenly his eyes flashed slightly, just thinking about doing business, but he had never paid attention to the appearance of this little girl, and now he calmed down and looked, she was really a distressing little beauty.

Looking up at the girl's back, there didn't seem to be an adult following, thinking that he was still a single person in his twenties, and couldn't help but secretly think about other things. With a kind smile on his face as much as possible, the man said softly: "There are many more delicious sugar gourds in my brother's house, why don't I take you to try them?" ”

"But I don't have any money." The little girl was still struggling with this question.

"It's okay, brother, please eat."

"Is that okay?" The girl's eyes shimmered, and a look of excitement appeared on her little face.

"Of course, we'll go now?"

"Okay."

Looking at her sweet smile, the man's heart twitched slightly, if this girl was brought back and raised for two years, she might become such a disaster. There were people coming and going on the street, and he didn't think about it anymore, and reached out to grab the girl's white and tender little hand with an itch. "Let's go."

Seeing that he was about to catch the girl, his wrist was suddenly held hard by the other hand that was inserted horizontally. The man looked up in amazement, and a delicate face suddenly came into view.

It was Jiang Yun who caught him, and it was a coincidence that along the way, he noticed the scene in front of him from a distance, this little girl looked like a porcelain doll, looking at the salivating appearance of the sugar gourd was very cute, Jiang Yun looked interesting, so he stopped not far away to watch secretly.

As the conversation deepened for two days, out of professional instinct, Jiang Yun gradually felt that something was wrong, this thin man clearly did not look like a good person, he thought for a while and hurried to catch up.

Looking at the man's somewhat panicked eyes, Jiang Yun grinned and said, "Little brother, where are you going to take my sister-in-law?" ”

"Huh." Han Ziqiang smiled: "It turns out that this girl is Your Excellency's sister, I didn't see her wandering on the street alone, and I don't know if she was separated from her family, so I wanted to take her to find her family." ”

"Oh, I see, thank you so much." Jiang Yun smiled.

"You're welcome, you should be." The man replied casually, turned around and left.

"Oh, don't go, sugar gourd...

"Stop."

Hearing Jiang Yun's shout, the man turned his head. "Everyone is handed over to you, what else is the matter?"

"How do you sell sugar gourds?"

"A string of pennies."

"I don't like to bring copper plates, do you collect treasure money?"

"Collected."

Jiang Yun took out a stack of silver tickets from his arms, flipped through them for a long time, and finally found a small bill of twenty yuan, handed it over and said, "Give me two strings, you don't need to look for them." ”

"Cheng, you can choose yourself."

It's just two strings of broken sugar gourds, what is there to pick. Jiang Yun casually took out two strings from the bamboo box, waved his hand and said, "Let's go." ”

"Give." Hand it to the little girl, and wipe the rest of the string to her mouth, bite the next one, not to mention, it tastes good.

"Is it delicious?"

"Ask anything, and you'll know if you eat it." Jiang Yun muttered back.

The little girl first stared at him, then raised her hand to bite the next one, chewed it, and said with a happy face: "It's delicious." ”

After a pause, he added, "You're a good person." ”

Jiang Yun smiled. "What? Would you please eat a sugar gourd and be a good person? ”

The little girl smiled but did not answer, and pouted in the direction of the man's departure. "He's a bad guy."

Oh? Jiang Yun looked at her in amazement. "Knowing he's a bad guy, you're still going with him?"

"Because I want to eat sugar gourds."

Belch... It's barely a reason, albeit a bit far-fetched.

One big and one small, the two of them stood on the side of the street, nibbling on the sugar gourd in their hands one by one. After a while, a panicked girl ran from afar, and when she saw the girl, she hurried to catch up. "Why did you run here, let you stop running around, it scared me to death."

Seeing the comer, Jiang Yun was stunned and said, "Miss Qu? ”

Qu Dan, who had settled her mind, also found that the person in front of her was Jiang Yun, she stroked the slightly messy hair next to her ears, and said with a smile: "Lord Jiang." ”

"What? Do you know? ”

"Well, it really happened that it was my turn to come to the grocery store to collect the bills today, and she brought it when she yelled to go into the city for a walk."

"Your daughter?"

When Qu Dan heard this, his pretty face turned slightly red, and he said angrily: "Lord Jiang is cautious. ”

Yes? Isn't it? Jiang Yun thought about it, but he was stupid. This Qu Dan is only in his twenties, how can he have a twelve or thirteen-year-old daughter. "Excuse me, your sister?"

"Yes, sort of."

"I said that you are an adult, how do you take care of children?" After confirming, Jiang Yun immediately fell on the count. "If I hadn't happened to be passing by, she would have been abducted."

"Is there such a thing? Thank you so much for doing me a great favor. ”

"It's okay, just pay attention next time." The sugar gourd was also eaten, the bamboo skewer was thrown away, Jiang Yun waved his hand, turned around and walked towards the grocery store. "I've got something to do, see you later."

After he walked away, Qu Dan said angrily: "I said that I wouldn't run around!" ”

The little girl took another sugar gourd in her mouth and said vaguely: "He is Jiang Yun?" ”

"You don't care about this, let's talk okay, how can you talk without words." Qu Dan put on a pleading face, and persuaded with kind words: "Senior sister, I beg you, if you want to go down the mountain in the future, don't follow me." ”

"Huh."
