The sound of firecrackers is removed from the old year.

The city of Lin'an is brightly lit and lively, and the outside of the city is also a sea of celebration.

In the eastern suburbs of the new city, although most of the places are still construction sites, there are also 30,000 or 40,000 households living in them.

They live in a uniform temporary house, built of cement bricks and cement prefabricated slabs like building blocks, two feet wide, three feet long, and nine feet high, square like a matchbox, even if there are five or six people in a family, they can barely live there.

Sitting north and facing south, twelve rooms in a row, basically, the head of the household is the same class in the construction camp.

Yes, in order to facilitate management, the Yanwang Mansion used the military establishment to organize the construction workers, and each battalion constituted a residential area, which was square and neat.

Although the houses are simple, they are enough to shelter from the wind and rain and the cold, and there is nothing to be dissatisfied with for the people, who were originally mostly homeless.

King Yan gave them a good salary, so the furnishings and utensils in the house were all purchased by each family, and most of them were produced by the workshops under King Yan's mansion, which were of good quality and low price.

On weekdays, whether they work in the construction camp or in the workshop, there is a collective canteen to provide food.

Children over the age of six in each family, both male and female, must be sent to the Mongolian school, paid a regular monthly fee, and eaten three meals a day openly.

As for children who are too young, as well as the elderly with limited mobility, if there is no one to take care of them at home, there is a special nursery school, and only the same amount of money is required every month.

In addition, there are commercial areas within these temporary settlements, which offer a wide range of goods and services.

The reason why we did not adopt an all-inclusive approach was that the workers had a stable source of income, that the idle labor force could play a role as much as possible, and that the money in the hands of the workers could be flowing.

This can not only promote economic development, but also maintain the vitality of society so as not to become rigid.

As a result, the workers who worked for Yanwang earned a lot and spent a lot, becoming a popular consumer group among Lin'an traders.

During the Chinese New Year, the workers were given a total of seven days of vacation for the first two and five days, and purchased enough New Year's goods for their families.

A group of twelve families moved out of the tables, chairs, and stools, and arranged them in front of the house to form a long slip, and then a few dishes from your family and a few dishes from his family made up a large Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, and dozens of people sat around, enjoying themselves.

Outdoors, even if there are a lot of coal stoves and charcoal basins on the side, they are actually cold, but people's hearts are hot, and the dishes are hot when they are cold, and this is what they want.

The babies in new clothes ran away after eating a few bites, and groups of people looked for an open space to play fireworks.

Amid the rumble of the cannonballs, the well-fed people were full of emotion about their current lives.

"On Chinese New Year's Eve last year, our family of four was still huddled in a leaky shack, eating two multigrain cakes, and we couldn't imagine that we could live this good life with wine and meat."

"Hey, I didn't even know how many days I could live at that time, so how dare I think of any wine and meat......

"That's right, don't say that we suffered a disaster, there is nothing, even before the disaster, I have never tasted alcohol."

"Haha, we too, if you are lucky, you can catch some small shrimp and fish to beat your teeth, you can count it as having eaten meat, but this wine is something that our family can afford."

"It's like a dream, we don't know how many people envy us now."

"The day before yesterday, I went to Im'an City to wander around, and people saw that I was wearing the clothes of the construction camp, and they were all very enthusiastic, and some people asked me if I had a family......

"With the king here, our days will only get better and better."

"That's right, old man, I'll start up, and everyone will fill the wine...... Toast...... For the king's life!"

"For the king's birthday! Drink to win!"

Everyone congratulated in unison, and the wine was dry.

Immediately, as if the fire line was ignited, the entire residential area erupted in congratulatory prayers, "For the king's birthday! Drink to win!"

Neighboring residential areas responded, and then it seemed that the sky of the entire eastern suburbs resounded, "For Dawangshou!" Drink to win!"

Joy and blessings wafting in the air,

As strong as the smell of gunsmoke.

At this happy moment of ten thousand families, a carriage wandered alone on the road in the eastern suburbs.

In the carriage, Qian Xiaopang could only sit on the floor aggrievedly, just because Qian Duo felt that he would crush the seat.

The heir of the dignified Qian family, who was treated unfairly, could only swallow his anger.

"Sister, if we don't eat this reunion dinner, and we don't stay at home to keep the New Year, will we be beaten to death by our father?"

"Are you scared?"

"How can you not be afraid, even if you don't get killed, kneeling in the ancestral hall is very fatal......

"Then you go back, I won't stop you."

"The city gates have long been closed, how can you let me go back?" Qian Xiaopang frowned.

They snuck out of their homes and went out of the city before the gates, and they had been wandering along the way for more than an hour.

If you continue to wander around, it will be next year......

Qian Xiaopang glanced at Qian Duo with a straight face, and couldn't help it, "Sister, if you want to celebrate the New Year with Your Highness, let's go quickly, what's the matter with going around in circles."

"Who said that I was going to celebrate the New Year with that bastard, I, I just feel stuffy at home, come out to have fun......" Qian Duo was as stiff as ever.

"My sister, I've told you, it's probably because you misunderstood what Your Highness meant, how can Your Highness like it when you see someone you've never seen? Why bother if you have to sulk when you don't have something to do? Why bother?"

Qian Xiaopang shook his head, deeply feeling that his sister seemed to be becoming more and more inexplicable, especially when she was involved in King Yan, she would always have a bunch of strange emotions.

"Even the blind can see that in the heart of His Highness, even if you can't be ranked second, you can still be ranked third......

"Huh!? What do you mean?" Qian Duoxiu raised her eyebrows and stared at an apricot eye, "It's okay if you don't have the first, and let me be third!?" In addition to Sister Wanwan, which fox spirit dares to be ahead of me? Oh... I see......

Qian Duo seemed to think of something, jumped out of the seat, and grabbed Qian Long's ears fiercely, "You follow him every day, you must know that he hid a woman outside, and helped him hide it from me, so you are a little fat money, and you actually eat inside and out!"

Qian Long was raised to his ears, crying and laughing, "Sister, what are you thinking about every day, as we all know, Princess Fengguo is the meat of His Royal Highness's heart, always ranked first, and no one can snatch it away."

"That little bean sprout is ......" Before he finished speaking, Qian Duo himself was deflated first, and let go of Qian Long's ears, "Okay, seeing that she is pitiful, I won't fight with her."

"So, if Your Highness chooses a wife, it's either you or Sister Wanwan, of course, I think Sister Wanwan is more likely... No, it's Sister You're more likely."

Qian Xiaopang realized that he had said the wrong thing again, and hurriedly changed his words.

thought that he would inevitably suffer again, but he shrank his head and waited for a long time without movement, and when he turned his head to look, he found that Qian Duo had already sat back, and he didn't look angry, but he was a little lonely between his eyebrows.

It seems that the old lady also admits in her heart that Wanwan is ahead of her......

Qian Xiaopang felt sorry for her sister, "Sister, didn't my aunt say it two days ago, I will definitely find a way to let you be the main room, don't be discouraged."

Qian Duo didn't seem to hear it, and didn't react at all.

I wanted to comfort her, but I was bored, Qian Xiaopang couldn't help but sneer, "Sister, can we go to Yanwang's Mansion now?"

"Hmm." Qian Duo looked out the window and only answered softly.

Qian Long happily got up, walked to the front wall of the carriage, and opened a small window, "Go to Yanwang's Mansion!"

The carriage was already walking around the palace not far away, and it didn't take long for it to arrive, and the guards saw that it was Qian Long and Qian Duo in the car, so they let them go all the way.

The sisters and brothers got out of the carriage and came to the garden where Zhao Mengqi lived, and saw Huang Gong standing in the courtyard, smiling like a Maitreya Buddha, handing out red envelopes to the maids and servants in line.

Qian Xiaofat immediately pouted, flashed in front of Huang Yu with agility that was completely disproportionate to his size, and stretched out his little fat hand, "Old Huang, Wishing you prosperity, bring the red envelope."

"Ah, Qian Langjun, you

Isn't it a Chinese New Year at home? Isn't it just the one who came specifically for this red envelope......

Laughing, Huang Gong put a red brocade bag on Xiao Fat's hand, "Good luck for the new year."

Qian Xiaopang couldn't wait to untie the brocade bag, poured out the two gold coins inside, and saw that it was inscribed "When Baiguan", he immediately laughed, "Your Highness is the atmosphere... This newly minted gold coin from the Royal Bank is really beautiful! …… By the way, what about Your Highness?"

Huang Zhi raised his chin at the three-story attic behind him, "Now, Ah Lang and the little lady are on the roof."

"Rooftop? It's not too windy......" Qian Xiaopang muttered and looked up.

Zhao Mengqi was grounded, so he did not enter the palace for Chinese New Year's Eve, and Zhao Yun did not return to the Rongwang Courtyard in Ancheng in order to accompany his brother.

On a whim, Zhao Mengqi said that he wanted his sister to have a different Chinese New Year's Eve, so he took her to the top of the highest building in the royal mansion.

The brother and sister sat side by side on the roof, watching with great interest the lights of thousands of homes and the brightness of the world.

A particularly dazzling cluster of fire trees and silver flowers bloomed in the distance, and Zhao Yan clapped his hands excitedly, "Fourth brother, look, it's so beautiful there."

"Isn't it pretty? If you like it, can the fourth brother make you more beautiful?" Zhao Mengqi rubbed his sister's little brain.

At this time, I heard movement behind me, turned my head to look, and saw Qian Duo emerging from the eaves.

"Coming? Be careful......

Zhao Mengqi stepped on the tile and brought Qian Duo over.

"Good guy, what are you doing running to the top of here? If you fall, your life will be gone......

Qian Duo muttered in his mouth, but he still sat down with Zhao Mengqi, and pretended to be afraid, moved again, and got closer to Zhao Mengqi.

Zhao Mengqi smiled, stretched out his hand to wrap his arms around her little waist and pulled, "If you're still afraid, you can hold me, even if you fall, you will die."

At this moment, all the unhappiness in Qian Duo's heart disappeared, "Don't want it."

I don't know what she doesn't want.

Zhao Mengqi didn't ask, "You came just in time, you are all seated......

Immediately, he put his fingers in his mouth and whistled loudly.

Suddenly, the entire palace fell silent, and then, with a thunderclap, a bright light roared into the sky in front of their eyes.

After rising high into the sky, the speed of the light seemed to slow down, and then suddenly with a "bang", a golden flower suddenly bloomed, lighting up the entire night sky.

"It's beautiful!" Qian Duo hugged Zhao Mengqi's arm tightly, and his body trembled slightly.

Zhao Yan's mouth was half open, his face was full of shock, and his eyes did not blink for a long time, "Wow......

Then, in the rumbling sound, one after another bright lights rushed to the sky, blooming one by one at the highest point, like a goddess scattering flowers, and as if many peacocks were competing to open the screen.

Colorful, blooming one after another, red like fire, yellow like gold, white than snow, green like grass......

Some are like fireballs, some are like silver snakes, some are like ears of rice, and more like flowers blooming and meteors are like rain.

The night sky of Lin'an has never been so beautiful and gorgeous.

At this moment, all the Lin'an people who were alarmed by the sound walked out of the house one after another, looking at the sky stupidly, and they all sank into this beauty, unable to extricate themselves for a long time.

Zhao Guanjia was also very amazing at this time, he didn't need to think about it, and he knew that it was his son's handiwork, so he couldn't help laughing, "This stinky boy, he can do something shocking the world even if he is locked up......
