Chapter 582: Vigil and Horse Hanging
The prepared salute was divided up, and the little Lori was anxious to jump next to her, Wang Xiang whispered a word in her ear, and the little Lori gave up, pouting and watching Lao Cheng and others divide the salute.
Wu Shun and Ning Xiang both smiled helplessly and bitterly.
Seeing that Lao Cheng and Wei Chi remembered to grab the most salute and were ready to leave with satisfaction, Wang Xiang hurriedly told him again and again: "Uncle Cheng, although this salute is not as powerful as Tianleizi, if it blows up people, it will also be injured, so remember to be careful when igniting the fire." ”
Lao Cheng waved his hand and said with a big grin: "I know, Uncle Cheng hasn't seen this thing yet." ”
I'll go, don't rob it if you don't see it. Wang Xiang couldn't help but secretly complain.
These people who carved up the salute are all awesome characters, and it is difficult to explain who accidentally injured Wang Xiang, so after being looted, they have to be kindly told one by one, what is this called......
Finally waited for Lao Cheng and them to leave after dividing up the salute, Wang Xiang finally breathed a sigh of relief, you can imagine that there will be a lively scene in Chang'an tonight.
As soon as the person left, Xiao Lori took Wang Xiang's arm and shook it: "Brother-in-law, how can you give all the gifts you gave me to others." ”
Wang Xiang smiled bitterly: "Do you think I can refuse, even His Majesty has sent Gonggong Chen, if they don't give them the salute, they probably won't leave." ”
"And where else did you say there was a more fun gift than a salute?" Little Lori asked with a wink.
If Wang Xiang hadn't quietly told her just now that there were gifts that were more fun than the salute, this girl wouldn't have let Lao Cheng and Chen Gui take them away.
After listening to Xiao Lori's question, Wang Xiang smiled and said: "Fortunately, I didn't take it all out, although the remaining fireworks are not as big as the salute, but they also look good when burning, and they are completely more than the salute, and you can play with them in your hand." ”
What Wang Xiang said is actually a small firework played by children, which can be held in the hand after being lit, and there are many different colors of patterns, which are very popular with children in later generations.
When Wang Xiang took out a small firework and lit the little Lori, he was happy again, and pulled Gu Paner and the little girl to chirp and play crazy in the yard, a bag of small fireworks has hundreds of them, enough for them to play all night.
After sending Xiao Lori back to the house with Wu Shun, she heard a roar in the distance, and then one after another, the sky above Chang'an City was suddenly rendered beautiful by colorful flame flowers, and almost all the people walked out of the house to watch this shocking scene.
At this time, Li Er also took the eldest grandson queen and other concubines, as well as large and small princes and princesses, to set off a salute in the open space in the back garden of the palace.
Because Wang Xiang had explained that there might be danger, Chen Gui didn't dare to let Li Er do anything about ignition, but he cautiously stepped forward to light the fire, and when the first barrel of salute rose into the sky, the little princes and princesses who were watching couldn't help but cheer excitedly, only Li Zhi seemed relatively calm, he had been to the end of the world with Wang Xiang several times, and had seen more strange things, and the salute naturally couldn't make him feel surprised. The little son is different, the first time he saw such a beautiful salute, his smiling face was red with excitement.
After the barrel of salute, everyone was still unsatisfied, and when Chen Gui was about to step forward to order the second barrel, Li Er stopped him and said, "Let me try it." ”
"Your Majesty!"
The concubines around Li Er hurriedly dissuaded them, although the salute was good-looking, they could also see that it was indeed dangerous, and they knew that the power was not small at a glance.
However, Li Er was in high spirits at this time, smiled and said: "It's okay, as long as you light the fuse and run away, it's fine, even the heavenly thunder has lit it, why not be afraid of this salute." ”
Seeing his decisive tone, Chen Gui had no choice but to hand over the fire fold in his hand to Li Er.
"Your Majesty, be careful."
The feeling of lighting the salute in person is different, looking at the fire rising into the sky, Li Er nodded and said: "This thing called a salute is good, go back and take a few people to learn how to make it from him." ”
When he lit the first salute, Li Er knew that gunpowder was also used in it, because the smell of the salute was similar to that of Tianleizi, if he had ordered people to keep it secret, yes, now he is no longer so careful about gunpowder, after the appearance of the capable person, the gunpowder will lose its original status, and even the sophisticated firearms of later generations cannot threaten the capable person, and the rough Tianleizi will not be able to do so.
It wasn't until midnight that the salute gradually died down, and I thought it was all over.
Wang Xiang was also interested for a while, so naturally he would not be as happy about the fireworks salute as little Lori and the others, and at this time he was in the house to accompany Wu Shun and Ning Xiang to fight horses.
"Husband, is this horse hanging also a way to play in later generations?"
Wu Shun played a card and asked.
Wang Xiang nodded and said: "Actually, this should be called mahjong, which is changed from a horse crane, and as for the horse crane, I don't remember when it was invented." ”
"Mahjong? It's as weird as a horse hanging. Ning Xiang smiled slightly.
Wang Xiang spread his hands, he didn't know why he called it so, anyway, he just knew how.
"Self-touching, confused."
Hearing Wu Shun's voice, Wang Xiang was depressed for a while, he just heard Wu Shun was angry, and looked at the silver beans used as chips in front of him and was even more depressed, but there was something worse than him, the silver beans in front of Ju Yiya had been lost, so he had to take out a silver ingot and exchange some silver beans as chips.
After playing a few rounds of mahjong before arriving at Yin, Wang Xiang stood up and stretched a lazy waist, yawning again and again, he really admired those aunts in later generations, he didn't feel tired after playing mahjong for a night, he just played for a few hours and couldn't stand it, mainly because he didn't paste for so long, and even Wu Shun and Ning Xiang deliberately put water and couldn't paste it, and no one was lucky.
"I'm not lucky, I'll wait for my husband to wash my hands and then I'll fight with you for three hundred rounds." If you lose or lose, you still have to have the courage.
Xiaoya has been waiting beside her, and after listening to Wang Xiang's words, she hurriedly said, "I'll go and prepare hot water." ”
Wu Shun also got up and said: "It's not too early, everyone is a little hungry after playing mahjong for so long, little girl, go to the kitchen to heat up a few side dishes." ”
As soon as the words fell, Xiao Lori ran in from outside, still holding two small fireworks in her hands, and gasped slightly: "Sister, I'm hungry too." ”
When Wang Xiang heard this, he hurriedly said: "Then don't play mahjong, let's eat something together." "He really doesn't want to play mahjong with Wu Shun and Ning Xiang, and he can't win so obviously if he puts the water in it, so how can he be embarrassed.
Because Aunt Lin and Steward Wang are going back to their hometown tomorrow for the New Year, they didn't have a vigil tonight, and the matter of eating supper can only be done by Xiaoya alone, fortunately, there are a lot of meals prepared at night, and they only need to be hot to eat.
