Chapter 93: The Chinese New Year's Eve Artillery Battle
Xia Wanrou blinked, is she sleepy? His Royal Highness King Lang is not in the palace to attend the Chinese New Year's Eve banquet, how can he appear outside his window?
As if she hadn't seen it, she turned her head and asked Song Zhi: "How long is it until the time for the artillery battle?" ”
She couldn't stay up anymore and wanted to go to sleep.
"A quarter of an hour to go." Song Zhi replied to Xia Wanrou's words, then got up and saluted out of the window, "Your Highness." ”
It's really His Royal Highness King Lang! Xia Wanrou was startled, got up halfway, and hurriedly squatted down, she was wrapped in a blanket and fine, if she stood up, she would be seen wearing only a middle coat and no outer robe, if Mu Siyan saw it, wouldn't there be an excuse to say that she was frivolous.
"What are you going to do?" Xia Wan asked softly, "Don't you know that the girl's boudoir can't trespass?" ”
"This king didn't trespass, but outside the window." His Royal Highness King Lang said shamelessly.
Xia Wanrou was so angry that she was about to speak, when she heard him answer a question in front of her: "There are many people in the palace, and I don't care if there are less, no one in your family will help you, I'll help you set off the cannonball!" ”
Xia Wanrou didn't believe him fooling: "I have a longbow." ”
"Don't look at the longbow some boxing scripts, but he is a big man, he is afraid of artillery battles, and he used to give him a holiday every year on Chinese New Year's Eve to teach him to hide in the room by himself."
God is pitiful, His Royal Highness King Lang has a lot of secret guards, he didn't know that Longbow was such a number one person before, and when he said this, he didn't feel sorry at all.
Longbow glanced at his former master, but did not dare to argue with himself, and let him discredit himself as a pitiful little man who was afraid of artillery and was afraid of hiding in the bed.
Xia Wanrou looked at Longbow in surprise, she never expected such a thing.
"Don't look at people like this, people have their own things that they are not good at, and he should be annoyed and angry later." His Royal Highness King Lang said solemnly.
Although Mu Siyan in the previous life had a bad temper, he had never deceived Xia Wanrou, so when Xia Wanrou heard this, she really believed it, she really retracted her gaze and no longer looked at the longbow to embarrass him.
It's pretty cute!
His Royal Highness King Lang held back a smile in his heart.
He turned his head and coughed lightly twice, and then said, "I'll go to your door and wait for you to come out, and let's go to the artillery battle to catch the New Year Beast." ”
After finishing speaking, she turned around and left, Xia Wanrou said in her heart that Mu Siyan at this age is actually quite a gentleman, how do you know that people are hiding out and snickering.
Qingya closed the window, Song Zhi waited for Xia Wanrou to quickly put on her skirt, thinking that the New Year was festive, so she put a red silk flower on Xia Wanrou's head. After getting it done, he pushed Xia Wanrou out of the door, and Qingya hurriedly hugged the cannon to keep up.
It was already close to four o'clock, and the sound of firecrackers sounded sparsely outside.
The sound of firecrackers is full of festivity, getting stronger and stronger, Xia Wanrou thought that Song Zhi didn't want her master to wait too long in the cold night, but she didn't get angry at her behavior of pushing herself out.
When I arrived at the open space outside the mansion, I saw a large number of artillery fireworks at the feet of His Royal Highness King Lang, which seemed to be pitiful in Qingya's arms.
Mu Siyan also saw the artillery battle in Qingya's arms.
He said to Xia Wanrou: "You stand farther away, I'll put those first, and then you can accompany me to put these." ”
"His Royal Highness King Lang, our artillery battle is a bit big." Seeing that Xia Wanrou was standing far away from King Lang, Qingya hesitated for a moment, and stepped forward with a cannon fight.
"I'll let go of any big artillery fight." The prince is not afraid.
When Qingya tore open the oil paper wrapped in the artillery battle, revealing the true face of the artillery battle, His Royal Highness King Lang was still taken aback: "Why is it so big?" ”
As he spoke, he asked his subordinates behind him to carry lanterns closer, and stroked the lantern lightly: "This cannon is half the size of a bucket!" ”
Look at the firecrackers next to the firecrackers, a long series of leads, all the size of a fist.
His Royal Highness King Lang has never seen such a large cannonball battle and firecrackers.
Xia Wanrou felt a little happy in her heart, and she asked Qingya: "Why did you buy so big?" ”
Qing Ya explained: "The uncle next door said that these artillery battles are all made by folk local methods, and the gunpowder is not pure, so you can only make the artillery battles bigger, otherwise there is no way to detonate them." The advantage of this kind of artillery is that it is cheap and loud enough. ”
It's so big, can it not be loud?
His Royal Highness King Lang didn't want to let it go.
Who knew that Xia Wanrou took a step back: "Then let Prince Lao let it go, let me see how loud it is." ”
That...... Let's just let it go.
You can't be cowardly in front of the little lady! His Royal Highness King Lang felt that he was a man and could not be afraid of anything.
He really asked his subordinates to get a torch, and after placing the cannons and firecrackers far away, he held the torch and approached the smaller-looking firecracker first.
Xia Wanrou's face gradually became serious, and when she saw the court clothes on His Royal Highness King Lang, her heart suddenly softened.
This person, after leaving the palace banquet, did not go back to the palace to change clothes, so he came directly to her, and personally showed her the folk earthen cannon battle.
Just as he was about to say that he didn't need to let it go, he saw His Royal Highness King Lang put the torch close to the lead of the firecracker, and then he quickly flashed in front of Xia Wanrou, as if to protect her.
The firecrackers didn't go off.
Xia Wanrou looked at His Royal Highness King Lang, and His Royal Highness King Lang said: "I ordered it, but it didn't have its own, maybe the person who made firecrackers was not good at craftsmanship and made squibs." ”
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a crackling sound from next door, so loud that it was too loud to be heard.
Qingya said: "The firecrackers are given to the servants by their family. ”
Craftsmanship is not good? Xia Wanrou looked at His Royal Highness King Lang, and His Royal Highness King Lang froze.
"You wait for me!" He suddenly gritted his teeth and strode towards the hanging firecracker.
"Forget it." Xia Wanrou tugged at his sleeve, "What if you just blow up when you go over?" ”
When she said this, Mu Siyan really hesitated. yes, he did ignite it just now, what if it just blew up in the past?
But if you don't pass, what about the face in front of the little lady?
Xia Wanrou gave Mu Siyan a step in the end: "Since the prince brought better firecrackers, let's put them off, is it louder than the one next door." ”
His Royal Highness King Lang was not a fool, and immediately went down the steps, asked people to pick out a firecracker and put it in shape, and then himself held a torch to light the fuse.
This time, firecrackers went off.
It's not as loud as next door, but it's denser than next door, and the smell of gunpowder is heavier and lasts longer.
His Royal Highness King Lang turned his head and saw the smile on Xia Wanrou's face, and was happy, and put it again, and put it again......
In the Xia family's house, Mrs. Xia asked Xia Yinan, who stomped into the house: "Why did you come back so soon?" Is it ready? ”
"It's just such a short firecracker, and the quality is not good, can it be done if it is lit in the yard and thrown away?" Xia Yi South Road.
"You put it in the yard?" Xia Wanxin frowned, "What if the spark ignites somewhere?" ”
"You're afraid of going out of the water, go out and check it yourself." Xia Yinan was not angry, "Xia Wanrou set off firecrackers outside, so I won't lose face in front of her." ”
When he said this, everyone stopped.
In the middle of the night, Mrs. Xia spoke: "Let's go back to sleep, tomorrow is the first day of the first lunar month!"
