Chapter 215: New Year

Everyone wanted to see how Guo Shan set off firecrackers, so they watched the next people raise a few strings of hanging whips at the gate of the house
Hu Dangdang, who was next to him, knew the power of this firecracker, and hurriedly covered his ears and retreated. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Hu Laohan never knew the power of this firecracker, so he stood at the door of the house with a smile and did not speak.
Guo Shan let people take the fire, and then he smiled and pushed Xu Qian's buttocks and asked them to go to the house.
Xu Qian was angry and funny, but knew that Guo Shanzhen was not molesting her. So she had to rush to the house with a group of female dependents, and she didn't know when Guo Shan developed this 'firecracker'. However, I knew that during the festival last year, Xiaoyou asked Guo Shan what firecrackers were. At that time, Guo Shan said that in the coming year, let everyone see the power of firecrackers.
It's just that Wang Susu and Sister Ning were both there at that time, but now Guo Shan has made firecrackers, but Sister Wang Su Suning and Tang Juan can't come together to see it.
"Everyone covered their ears." Guo Shan gave an order, but saw that Hu Laohan was still standing there grinning under the firecrackers. Guo Shan said angrily: "Ramming goods, what's the matter with looking for death?" The power of this firecracker may blow one of your heads to pieces, why don't you come over quickly? ”
Seeing Hu Dangdang pouting his ass in the crowd, Guo Shan couldn't help but say angrily: "Your father doesn't know that firecrackers are powerful, don't you know?" Pull your dad over. ”
Hu Dangdang took the order and went with Hu Laohan. Then he went down with a fire, and lit it from afar.
'Boom', everyone covered their ears according to Guo Shan's words. But after waiting for a long time, I couldn't hear the slightest sound.
Guo Shan was suddenly dumbfounded, and all the people looked at Guo Shan strangely. The old subordinate Wang Feng relieved Guo Shan and said: "Xu is that the craftsmen below have not done a good job. ”
Guo Shan coughed dryly and was about to speak. But suddenly there was a flash of light like thunder, a deafening sound of 'bang, bang, bang', and the smell of gunpowder filled everywhere. In the midst of everyone's fear, the whip on the door exploded rapidly.
Guo Shan smiled and shouted proudly: "What is a firecracker? This is firecrackers. Catch up with Ming'er and let the skillful artists make fireworks, and then you know the excitement of the New Year. ”
"And what are the fireworks?" Wu Mei asked with some curiosity.
Guo Shan explained with a smile: "Fireworks? It's like a flower blooming in the night sky, and its beauty can be seen by the whole city. However, fireworks are not so easy to make, and it took many days to make this firecracker alone. ”
Guo Shan didn't let them play with firecrackers because it was too dangerous. The power of the explosion varies according to the proportions of gunpowder. Guo Shan was afraid that these people would not know the power of gunpowder, and when the time came, it would be obviously not enough to sweep away the trouble after the injury according to the current medical level.
Guo Shan really wants Sun Simiao to see the power of firecrackers, but Sun Simiao may not like firecrackers very much, right? After all, the old immortal is a full-time job of saving lives and helping the wounded, and Guo Shan's gunpowder obviously has nothing to do with saving the dead and helping the wounded. However, this is also not to blame Guo Shan, after all, the invention of gunpowder was invented by their Taoists. Thinking that at the beginning, Sun Simiao also refined gunpowder by himself and almost didn't blow it up.
When it comes to gunpowder, any later generation of people who mention gunpowder will definitely think of various hot weapons in the military. Guo Shanbu is not an exception, for him, the role of gunpowder in military affairs is quite large. If the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty each have a rifle, each regiment has three snipers, and a heavy machine gun. Plus the mortars on TV, and at the end of the seventeen or eighteen boxes of grenades, it's a dream.
Don't think about the rifle, see if you can get the craftsmen to make a three-eyed gun, arquebus ground mine or something, it's almost the same. At that time
"What are you thinking?"
A faint voice floated to interrupt Guo Shan's thoughts, and Guo Shancai woke up from his thoughts, only then did he know that Xu Qian was talking to himself in front of him after the firecracker was released.
Guo Shan smiled, Xu was thinking too far away before, and Xu Qian saw it. But of course, it is impossible for Guo Shan to say what is in his mind, because no one in this world can understand Guo Shan's thoughts. How can you expect people who don't even know much about gunpowder to know about firearms?
Guo Shan could only suppress the thoughts in his heart, and made up his mind not to reveal his words to the public until the firearms were studied. Firearms are too critical, first, Guo Shan is not sure whether they can be developed, and second, even if they are developed, things that play a military role certainly need to be kept secret. Guo Shan didn't plan to tell anyone, he wanted to quietly pull up a team of skilled craftsmen, look for talents again, and quietly build an arsenal.
"I didn't think about anything, I just thought, and a year has passed like this." Guo Shan sighed.
Speaking of emotion, Xu Qian is even more than Guo Shan. She brushed her sideburns, and said with some confusion: "Year after year, year after year, I can't see you every year." ”
Guo Shan was stunned for a moment, and asked curiously, "Sister Xu Qian, what did you say?" ”
Xu Qian smiled and said, "It's nothing, by the way, it's time for a Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, right?" ”
Guo Shan smiled, then turned around and beckoned someone to serve the food.
The Guo family's New Year is not the same as other festivals in other houses.
When other people's houses celebrate festivals, they are all celebrated by the masters, and the servants are serving.
But the New Year in Guofu is spent by the master and servant. Gather around the courtyard and sing and dance to watch the kabuki programs that have been prepared for a long time. The tables were all over the floor, up and down the porch.
On this night, both the master and the servant can drink as much as they want. In the staggered room, the atmosphere of the New Year in the house is enough.
The three sisters of the martial arts family had never seen such a festival, and they really didn't understand what Guo Shan meant. They were surprised to find that the subordinates of the Guo Mansion respected and loved Guo Shan, but they were not afraid. Especially in ancient times, women were not allowed to eat at the table, but Guo Fushang did not seem to have this etiquette.
Not only were they surprised, but even Tian Qiao and Wang Feng were extremely surprised.
The two of them are Guo Shan's subordinates, and they have also walked through Guo Shan's mansion to give a few gifts. Knowing that Guo Shan's family has a big business, it stands to reason that such a family must have a lot of rules. But now I look at it, where is the rule?
At first, the two of them seemed restrained as subordinates, but later they saw that even the servants were very open to drinking and singing. They are not as restrained as before, and of course the two of them do not dare to be as presumptuous as the servants of the Guo family. After all, they are Guo Shan's domestic servants, and a contract concludes that they are Guo Shan's family. But they are different, obviously they will never be as good as Guo Shan's own house slaves in terms of trust.
Although there is less Sister Wang Su Suning and Tang Juan for the festival in Guo Mansion this year, there are more Wu sisters, Wang Fengtianqiao, and Sun Feishan.
Sun Feishan is more special in Guo Mansion, belonging to the form of guests and half of the Guo family. She doesn't seem to deal with Guo Shan, but she can live in Guo's mansion to eat and drink. It seems that Guo Shan is not very satisfied with her, but he resigned herself to letting her stay in the house, never asking or restraining.
In the past month, Sun Feishan has been going out early and returning late almost every day, and she doesn't know what to do, and sometimes she doesn't return to Guo's mansion for two or three days. But whenever everyone thought she was gone, or where she died, she ran back to Guo's mansion in the dark to sleep.
Everyone in the Guo family is no longer surprised by Sun Feishan, and they completely treat her as a transparent person. I thought she wouldn't show up during the Chinese New Year this year, but I didn't expect it to appear.
After drinking a few glasses of wine, Sun Feishan danced the sword on the spot and had a full house.
Seeing the jubilation of everyone, at the instigation of his sister Wu Mei, Wu Shun shyly played a song.
Guo Shan stroked his palms and was happy, completely forgetting that Wu Mei was Wu Zetian. took advantage of the strong alcohol and forced her to perform on the stage.
There are not so many rules for women in the Tang Dynasty, and besides, it is a request made by the main family, and it is not easy to refuse. Wu Mei thought for a long time, and pulled her sister Wu Shu to follow and cooperate. Otherwise, she wouldn't play.
coaxed the two sisters on the stage, one dancing and one playing music to make ** addicted.
Hu Dangdang carried a stone lock of dozens of catties in each of his left and right hands, and performed his courage on the stage. As soon as his left hand loosened, the stone lock landed on the instep of his foot. With the instep of his foot, the stone lock flew up again. So the right hand also ran the stone lock high, and the left and right hands took turns to catch the stone lock, and performed acrobatics. won the attention of the big girls and little daughters-in-law in the house, and won the coaxing of the subordinates. But next to it, a red tassel gun without a gun head suddenly stabbed out and stabbed Hu Dadang's ass. Hu Guan was furious, and turned his head to find that it was his father. Immediately, the frightened wow wow shouted and ran off the field, causing everyone to laugh more than once.
"Sister Xu Qian is going to take care of Penglai Pavilion tomorrow?" was still performing on the field, but Guo Shan took advantage of the gap between the changes to ask Xu Qiandao.
"There are a lot of people who can't return to their hometowns in Chang'an City, and this time is the most suitable time for friends to come to the pavilion to attract new customers." Xu Qian explained: "Even those wanderers who can't return to their hometowns also need a burrow to shelter them from the wind and rain. ”
Guo Shan heard the words and said: "The Penglai Pavilion and the Burrow can be closed, but why do you have to take care of it yourself?" If it's to make money, why should you tire yourself for that money. ”
Xu Qian smiled and said, "It's boring to stay at home, it's better to go to the Penglai Pavilion and the Burrow to do things." ”
Although Guo Shan knew that what she said was reasonable, he still thought that it was harmful to his body. He said: "Just leave everything to the people below, why do everything yourself." What's more, the Penglai Pavilion and the Burrow always have to develop. There is a limit to one's strength, and one day you will feel powerless. It's better to take the opportunity to sharpen some talents to come out, and someone can share it for you in the future. ”
Xu Qian frowned when she heard this, and asked, "According to what Gongzi said, who is suitable to take over my class?" ”
Guo Shan hurriedly said: "It's not about finding someone to replace you, but about letting you train trustworthy people to share your worries." As for who to share your worries with, I don't care about these things, and I don't understand, after all, I will leave the Penglai Pavilion and the Burrow to you. ”
Guo Shan smiled, with a sincere face.
He really didn't have the slightest selfishness, and he didn't contain a little calculation. For Xu Qian, Guo Shan is very trusting. After all, they have been together for several years, and Guo Shanzi can still understand a person. It would be ridiculous to say who Xu Qian sent to him undercover. How capable people can calculate that they can open a cabinet, and how capable people can insert people around themselves before the burrow is opened?
It can't be, because Xu Qian came when she was Bai Ding and had no foundation. And if it weren't for her, the Burrow and Penglai Pavilion would not have developed to their current scale. Then again, if Xu Qian really wants to betray her, why would Guo Shan regret a friend to come to the pavilion? Just send her.
"Childe has a point, and I really want someone to share some responsibilities for me." Xu Qian paused and said with a smile: "I think Xiaoyou is quite smart, and she has also taken care of the Guo Mansion quite well this year." If I had to find someone, I would have wanted to pull her in and share the responsibility with me. ”
Guo Shan was stunned for a moment and said, "Xiaoyou? ”
Xiaoyou is her own person, and it is impossible for Xu Qian not to know. She may not be very Xiaoyou, but she told Guo Shan in this way that she has no ambition to take over the power of the Pavilion alone.
Guo Shan was speechless for a long time, and then smiled bitterly: "You smart people are so troublesome to do things, I won't say it." Anyway, I'll leave it to you, so you can do whatever you like. Well, let's watch the play? ”
After speaking, Guo Shan set his eyes on the field.
