After eating the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, under the leadership of Zhao Xiaoxi, all the people in the royal mansion walked out. Compared to the biting cold wind on the docks, the inner city, which is now blocked by the city walls, is not as cold as imagined. What's more, a fire was lit on this foundation.

Everyone standing by the fire wanted to know what the surprise Zhao Xiaoxi was talking about. It can be seen that Zhao Xiaoxi doesn't say anything, and they have nothing to do, so they can only stand by the fire and enjoy the night on this isolated island.

Perhaps it was these fires that made many small town residents who walked out of their homes slowly attracted to them. For the arrival of these people, Zhao Xiaoxi did not let anyone stop them, on the contrary, he also asked the guards to light a few more bonfires to keep out the cold.

Knowing that all the people in the palace appeared on the soon-to-be-built homestead in the inner city, many people who happened to be idle also brought their children over. Anyway, it's a big night, and it's boring to stay at home, and it's a waste of lamp oil.

As more and more people gathered, Zhao Xiaoxi quickly brought the housekeeper and instructed: "Uncle Fu, you let the people in the palace order the people to vacate the starting place and wait for me to be useful." Also, let the people know and come over to see the excitement later! ”

The palace housekeeper, who was also curious about what this excitement was, didn't ask much about it, while arranging the palace guards. Where the people were stationed, he set up an open space the size of a few rooms.

On the other hand, he instructed the people to go and call some of the people who were staying at home to keep the New Year. Anyway, in his opinion, the more people there are on this island, the more lively it is. Therefore, what he has to do is to carry out Zhao Xiaoxi's orders.

It didn't take long for Zhao Da, who was sent to fetch things, to quickly return with a group of guards. Looking at these people, they also pushed a few carts of things covered with black cloths over, and many onlookers were also curious about what was under this cloth.

Only Zhao Da and others knew what was on the car. Keep getting people to give up their places. Until several cars were pushed to the vacated space, Zhao Da still guarded the two of them.

At this time, Zhao Xiaoxi walked to the middle of the open space and said loudly: "Fellow fathers and fellow villagers, today is our New South City. First Chinese New Year's Eve. In order to let the villagers feel the taste of the New Year, let you watch the excitement this year.

At the same time, the king also hopes that from tomorrow, there will be a new beginning in the new southern city. In the coming year, the wind and rain will be smooth, the country and the people will be safe, and all the villagers will be able to live the life they want. Don't say more, Zhao Da can start! ”

After saying a word of blessing, Zhao Xiaoxi gave an order to Zhao Da directly. And this time. Zhao Dacai instructed the guards and began to untie the rope tied to the black cloth and move a box down.

Seeing this scene, Zhao Yu immediately rejoiced: "Second brother, is this a flower cannon?" ”

As soon as they heard Zhao Yu's words, the women became happy. As they come from the inland, they know more or less that in the Great Song Dynasty and Dali, as long as the New Year is closed or the Lantern Festival is night. There will be a tradition of viewing lanterns and setting off fireworks.

It's just that they didn't expect to be on this isolated island. You can also see this kind of big scene that ordinary people can't see at all. After all, not everyone can afford to buy fireworks this year.

Generally speaking, the firecrackers purchased for the Chinese New Year are bought by the people with frugality. Some poor people. I can't afford firecrackers, so I can only cut some bamboo to replace them during the Chinese New Year, hoping to get rid of evil and pray for peace in the coming year.

Looking at a cart of fireworks being moved. Some of the discerning people immediately understood what was placed on the flat ground. Especially children, they are looking forward to this kind of super high treatment that only the people of the imperial city can enjoy.

In order to prolong the time for the fireworks to be fired, Zhao Da did not move them all at once. Instead, he untied a car first, and then placed it in the open space, and then came over to ask Zhao Xiaoxi to help light the fire.

Regarding this kind of fireworks, Zhao Xiaoxi said with a smile: "Father, although we are not in the capital this time, we are also here to have fun with the people today." Or, the first fireworks at night, you are lucky enough to order it? ”

As the emperor's uncle, Zhao Hao has naturally seen this kind of scene. But he didn't expect that his son would be able to prepare such a few cars of fireworks on this desert island. You know, there aren't many craftsmen who make fireworks today.

In the face of Zhao Xiaoxi's invitation, Zhao Hao did not refuse, and said with a smile: "Okay, father-in-law, otherwise, how about we go together." It is better to be happy alone than to be happy with everyone. We're young too! ”

Duan Zhengchun did not refuse Zhao Hao's invitation, and soon there were guards who gave torches to the two. And the first batch of fireworks, Cho Hyo-seok also let interested girls participate.

When Zhao Hao lit the first flower cannon, the rest of the girls also handed the torch to the burning rope with excited expressions. Soon ran back, and this scene looked very festive.

Look at the smoking ropes and get into those fireworks boxes. Many people are looking forward to the moment when the first flower cannon rises into the sky. And this wait did not last long, a scream and a spark rose into the sky.

When the sparks bloomed in the sky, it officially kicked off the fireworks feast that countless immigrants will never forget tonight. The fireworks that opened and withered in an instant, everyone who watched it yearned for it.

There are few opportunities, and Li Qinglu is also very excited to see this kind of fireworks festival that is only staged in the Central Plains. Without blinking his eyes, he stared at the fireworks that kept rising into the air, and thought it was so beautiful.

Zhao Xiaoxi, who was standing beside her, gently hugged this quiet and lovely girl, and said with a smile: "Qinglu, is it good-looking?" ”

Feeling the temperature on her waist, Li Qinglu adapted to this intimacy. But in front of so many people, he still blushed a little and said: "It looks good, it's the first time I've seen such a big fireworks feast!" ”

Also looking at these specially prepared fireworks, Zhao Xiaoxi also knew that these things were just by-products produced by the gunpowder workshop. Something really strong is still in a high degree of secrecy today.

During this time, the gunpowder workshop, which had begun to resume work, also took time to make several large trucks of fireworks. There is only one purpose, to let the people of the new city also feel this kind of fireworks feast. After all, it's a luxury.

can feel the excitement in this girl's heart, and Cho Hyo-seok also knows that compared to other girls. When Li Qinglu comes here, she will feel even more lonely. During this time, he has been busy with things, and it is true that he rarely communicates with her.

On a special day like tonight, Cho Hyo-seok is also worried that she will miss her distant relatives. Only then did I find her, hoping to give this future concubine a little comfort and let her feel the warmth of home.

Regarding Li Qinglu's answer, Zhao Xiaoxi said very gently: "Qinglu, during this time, I am too busy. I didn't care much about you, and I hope you will be considerate. I just want to tell you that this is your home.

You can tell me anything in the future. I won't be able to send you back for a short time, though. But I promise that when I have the opportunity, I will take you back to Xixia and let Uncle Shi know that you are living a very happy life. ”

Listening to Zhao Xiaoxi's confession, Li Qinglu also felt that her heart was as sweet as honey, and finally let go of her restraint and snuggled in Zhao Xiaoxi's arms, and said very happily: "Yunlang, don't worry, I feel very good and happy now." ”

The two people who snuggled together quietly, looking at the gorgeous fireworks blooming in the sky, also felt that this kind of moment was the happiest. Looking at these fleeting fireworks, it also makes people feel refreshed and happy.

After the first car of fireworks was set off, Zhao Da and others quickly moved another car down. And this time, Zhao Hao and Duan Zhengchun didn't join in the excitement to light the fire, and this opportunity was given to Qin Hongmian and other women who were also excited.

As the second batch of fireworks took off again, some of the people living in the migrant village also gathered in the highest open space in the village. Admire the fireworks that are a little far away for them, but they can see the stars.

In particular, living in a village not far from the town is a pleasure. And some migrants living in remote villages can only miss such opportunities.

When the girls all felt the opportunity to set off a fire, Zhao Xiaoxi also specially instructed the housekeeper to get from the onlookers. Find some children and let them feel the experience that is rare for them.

Why don't you give the opportunity to adults, a big reason is because Zhao Xiaoxi knows that compared with the calmness of adults, children love to be lively. It will push this kind of fireworks festival to the biggest excitement.

And for the sake of safety, each child lights fireworks at a distance. When there are children, they are in a hurry to light the fireworks in advance, but some children do not dare to approach and make a lot of jokes.

In short, with the sound of screams, there was also laughter and laughter on the homestead of the new city tonight. In the midst of this laughter, the people gradually forgot the loneliness of being on an isolated island and leaving their homeland.

Even in the eyes of many people, they have the opportunity to watch such a fireworks, and they can be regarded as people at the foot of the imperial city. After all, the only people who had the opportunity to see this kind of feast in the Great Song Dynasty were the people living in Bianliang City.

By the time the last car of fireworks was set off, the night seemed much darker. But the bonfire in the open space on the square has not been extinguished, and many people feel that it is better to stand here and be lively than wasting oil lamps at home.

It's just that unlike these people, after the fireworks, Zhao Da took back all the empty boxes. I am worried that some children will throw these boxes into those fires that may not be clean.

As for the confetti in that place, Zhao Da didn't deal with it much. After all, this is also something left over after the excitement. After packing up the empty boxes, he took them all back to the shop and locked them.

When Zhao Xiaoxi and his entourage returned to the palace, I don't know if they were moved, or maybe they didn't want to continue like this. Li Qinglu, who has always been shy, suddenly proposed to Zhao Xiaoxi, hoping that he could go to her room at night.

In the face of such an invitation, Zhao Xiaoxi also knew how difficult it was for Li Qinglu to say such a thing. In the end, he nodded and agreed to Li Qinglu's invitation. After all, you can't live up to the beauty's invitation! (To be continued......)
