The New Year is approaching, and there is a very lively scene inside and outside Kyoto, with an endless stream of merchants coming and going, and the fragrance of New Year's goods can be smelled everywhere in Suzaku Alley, but the sky is dark and gloomy, and it is like holding back a heavy snowfall, just waiting for it. Heng Xinyuan and his wife in the suburbs have not been idle, sprinkling and sweeping the house, buying vegetables and fruits for the festival, and they are very busy, especially Wan Bingyu, she is full of curiosity about the Spring Festival of the ancients.

"Hey, Bingyu, what are you doing!" Heng Xinyuan moved in two large baskets of kumquat and some pears and apples from outside the house, hot and sweaty, but when he entered the door, he saw Wan Bingyu staring at a firecracker, so he stepped forward and asked, "Is there anything strange about this firecracker?" You don't have one over there, right? ”

Now, he, an ancient person, and Wan Bingyu, a modern person in the 21st century, have gotten along very well, Wan Bingyu can even talk about some miniskirts and minipants to him, every time Heng Xinyuan listens to it, he will Yin Tang blacken, staring at her and saying seriously, "You are not allowed to dress like that." ”

A few days ago, Wan Bingyu was so bored that he jumped in the yard in the middle of the night, and almost kicked the magnolia flowers that Heng Xinyuan had carefully raised for several months.

"There are firecrackers, but ......," she asked with a wink and a grin, "Do you have any fireworks here?" ”

"Fireworks?" Heng Xinyuan was stunned for a moment, confused, "What fireworks?" Is it the smoke that comes out of the fire? ”

"Poof...... Wan Bingyu burst into laughter mercilessly, "Hahahaha, husband, you are too cute, what smoke comes out after the fire, I'm talking about the kind of fireworks that fly into the sky with a bang and then are colorful, have you ever seen it?" ”

Heng Xinyuan shook his head and asked in a daze, "Colorful?" Aren't the usual firecrackers colorless...... How can there be colorful fireworks? ”

Wan Bingyu stood up from the ground, slapped the dirt on his body a few times, and playfully took his hand, "Husband, I will let you know in two days what these colorful fireworks look like, I guarantee that you will be stunned after seeing it!" ”

"Hey, don't mess around......" Heng Xinyuan was worried for a while, although his lady kept saying that she was the lucky one chosen by God, and nothing would happen to her, but for some of her crazy behaviors, she still expressed her fear, "It's about to be the night of Chinese New Year's Eve, the Imperial City Palace is strictly forbidden, if you mess around, you will be arrested!" ”

"Rest assured...... When I was in college, in the laboratory class, the teacher talked about the principle of pyrotechnics, but fortunately, I studied well and didn't forget it at all! ”

"University? Lab class? Heng Xinyuan scratched his head, two new words that he had never heard before.

As soon as Wan Bingyu wanted to explain to him, he heard a knock on the door, and when he opened the door, he saw that it was Yuan Weinuo, and there was a Yuan Suzhi standing behind him, with a slightly red face, her head and low eyebrows, shy and cute......

"Lord Yuan, why do you have time to come to me, come in." Heng Xinyuan hurriedly stepped forward and welcomed the two into the door, although Wan Bingyu didn't want to see this Yuan Suzhi, but because of Heng Xinyuan's face, he still went to the kitchen to prepare two bowls of tea.

"Su Zhi and I went to burn incense in the temple outside the city this morning, and when we came back and passed by you, we came in to say hello." Yuan Vino is now waiting for Heng Yuan, but it is really like an elder treating a junior, with a pleasant face, kind and kind.

Heng Xinyuan smiled respectfully, "It's my honor that Lord Yuan is willing to step into the humble house, recently, Lord Yuan must be busy with affairs, I'm afraid that by the end of the year, I won't be able to live in peace." ”

"Hey...... This is not thanks to the blessings of Lord Heng and His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince, the cases of the two big officials of the Hubu Shilang and the Yin of Jiangnan Mansion have been handed over to me, I can't even think about living a good life......" Yuan Weinuo stroked a wisp of white hair on his chin, and his tone of voice was still relatively tough.

Heng Xinyuan added another cup of tea and smiled faintly, "The emperor attaches great importance to this case, and Lord Yuan must investigate it clearly." After a pause, he turned his head and asked, "I don't know, His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince was ordered to go to Junnan Mansion for disaster relief, how is the progress......

"Hey, speaking of this, it's also a headache." Yuan Weinuo sighed and put down the tea bowl in his hand, "It is said that the tens of thousands of stone grain and three million taels of silver under the imperial court were used up not long after they arrived in Junnan Mansion, but they only saved the crisis in a few counties...... There are still a large number of people who don't have enough to eat. ”

Heng Xinyuan secretly frowned, feeling that something was suspicious, although this county Nanfu is a region with a large population in the country, how can tens of thousands of stone grain and three million taels of silver solve the urgent need, how can the people have no livelihood so far?

"What is the reason why the four princes have not returned?"

"It is said that it is because of the cold winter, the seeds are sown, and they will always wait until the spring of the next year to grow, so it is difficult to ......endure" Yuan Weinuo's eyes flickered, and he also fell into a deep thought, but Yuan Suzhi beside him, stood up delicately, added tea to the two of them, and whispered, "Father, Lord Heng, you don't have to worry, maybe it will be good after the New Year, don't you all say that Ruixue is a good year, I look at the weather in the past few days, it should be a heavy snow soon......"

"What Miss Yuan said is also reasonable, besides, His Majesty has not handed over this matter to me, so let's wait for the fourth prince to return to Beijing to discuss it."

Wan Bingyu looked at Yuan Suzhi when she spoke, Chong Heng's eyes were far away, and she felt a burst of anger in her heart, holding her mouth and not saying a word, feeling uncomfortable.

"Okay, it's not too early, and the two of us have to rush back, so we won't bother much." Yuan Weinuo stood up, said goodbye, and left the inner hall with Yuan Suzhi.

When she walked outside the gate, Yuan Suzhi suddenly turned around, took out a lucky bag from her sleeve, and handed it to Heng Xinyuan with a shy face, "Lord Heng, this is the blessing bag I just went to the temple to ask for, it can bless a smooth and safe year, all wishes come true, I hope you can accept ......"

"This? Thank you Miss Su Zhi for your kindness...... I ......" Heng Xinyuan just wanted to refuse, she added, "It's not just for you, I asked for many of them, but I just came to you today, so I'll give it to you first, please don't misunderstand......"

When Heng Xinyuan heard this, he accepted it, no matter how he said it, Yuan Suzhi was also the daughter of Yuan Weinuo.

"Thank you." He smiled and replied with two words.

But this scene happened to be caught by Wan Bingyu who was standing in the courtyard, so when he turned around and went back to the house with the lucky bag, he was sneered at head-on, "Lord Heng, you are really a handsome son, and you are lovely!" ”

Heng Xinyuan didn't understand for a while, and asked in surprise, "What are you talking about?" What a handsome boy, what is cute? ”

"Isn't it?" Wan Bingyu jumped up to him, snatched the lucky bag from his hand, and asked coldly, "Then what is this?" If you weren't cute, why would Miss Su Zhi come to give you a lucky bag? It's also to blame me for being blind, and I didn't even see your two hearts earlier! ”

Heng Xinyuan originally had a clear conscience, but after being humiliated by her, he was angry and anxious, and said casually, "Why are you so unreasonable, everyone has said it, just went to the temple to burn incense, and happened to pass by our house, as for this lucky bag, Miss Su Zhi has not only prepared it for me, but also for many people, what are you competing with?" ”

"I'm competing? You say I'm competing? Wan Bingyu's eyes suddenly turned red, and her internal organs seemed to have knocked over lemon vinegar together, and she roared, "Didn't you see that her eyes have been on you since she entered the door?" You also flirted with her eyebrows, and secretly sent Qiubo! If you like her, it's fine! I'll do it for you! ”

"Fulfill me? You are really unreasonable, I have nothing to do with her, why do I want you to fulfill it? Heng Xinyuan grabbed her, "Why don't you always believe me, this lucky bag, if you don't like it, just throw it away, why get angry with me for such a trivial matter, it's too narrow-minded!" ”

As soon as Wan Bingyu heard this, he completely exploded, and without saying anything, he punched him twice in the chest, "I'm narrow-minded? Yes, I'm not as gentle and lovely as Miss Su Zhi, but I'm vulgar and ignorant, so you go and live with her, I'm leaving! ”

After that, he pushed Heng Xinyuan away, slammed the door and left, without looking back.

The housekeeper hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Do you want to chase Madame back, it's freezing outside now, and it's about to snow......"

"Don't chase it! If she wants to go, let her go! ”

Heng Xinyuan roared angrily.
