Chapter XXXVII: Fireworks and Explosives
The firecrackers greeted each other and smiled happily.
The joyful atmosphere gradually rose with the occasional sound of firecrackers, and the child's face was red, but there was no sense of coldness.
"Ladies and gentlemen, today is the Chinese New Year's Eve, all of you here are the Wang family's own family, this year the Wang family has the current family business, all of which depend on your hard work, here I represent the Wang family, thank you." Wang Yunshan didn't get up, looked around with a wine glass, and said the first sentence since he entered the table.
Everyone stood up, holding their wine glasses, saluting Wang Yunshan and the four elders in the clan, and drank all the wine in the cups.
"Seat seats, you don't have to be restrained tonight...... Wang Yunshan nodded to everyone with a smile.
This sentence also means that the family banquet on Chinese New Year's Eve has officially begun.
"Grandpa is happy today, don't worry about it, just accept it when you see it." Wang Zhao secretly looked at Wang Yunshan's table, several elders in the clan were smiling, Wang Yunshan, who doesn't drink much on weekdays, also took the initiative to hold up his wine glass today, which shows his high mood.
"Wait a while, when the uncles have toasted, it's time for us, and we'll go together then." Wang Xinghe looked at this troublesome scene, but he couldn't be interested at all, and his eyes moved from his uncle's table to Jiangning's table.
These two can be said to be on pins and needles, and even several cousins with flattery pay attention to the dynamics of Jiang Ning and Wang Ruoyan from time to time.
Wang Ruoyan has taken over part of the business of the big house, although it is not much, but compared to these cousins, it can already be said that he is in charge, and he is measured in his life, what should be fought for and what should not be fought for, and he also knows in his heart, and he is a group of harmony inside.
Therefore, she and Jiang Ning sat two tables away from her father, and at the same table, there were several shopkeepers who relied on the big house, Jiang Ning had also seen it a few days ago.
Wang Yunshan also seemed to be in a very good mood over there, and his father-in-law, Wang Gongyong, was also very satisfied with Jiang Ning, during which Wang Gongyong looked at him twice, as if he had said something to Wang Yunshan, Wang Yunshan turned around and talked with several other clan elders, and also looked at Jiang Ning.
Jiang Ning didn't care about this, but he was looked at by Wang Xinghe and Wang Zhao, this kind of occasion, this kind of atmosphere, of course, is to say good things, can you still laugh and scold people?
"Come on...... Wang Xinghe tugged at Wang Zhao's sleeve, and the two of them were sitting precariously, watching their father and uncle get up, and it was time to toast.
After a few elders walked around, it was time for them juniors to toast.
The first to get up were naturally Wang Ruoyan and Jiang Ning, and then these cousins also got up.
Wang Xinghe and Wang Zhao were waiting for this time, got up and picked up their wine glasses and followed the two.
"Hehe, it's free, forget it today, it's rare to be happy, you juniors don't often meet, talk more, and you're going to go with your elders in the New Year." As soon as everyone walked in front of Wang Yunshan, they heard Wang Yunshan say that they wanted to get rid of this red tape, which was really happy, so they said this.
Such situations are rare, even on Chinese New Year's Eve, there is only one time in Wang Xinghe's impression, and today is the second time.
"If anyone eats and drinks well and leaves on their own, there is no need to say hello today." Wang Yunshan continued, picked up the wine glass, signaled to everyone, and drank it all.
"Oh......" This sentence, especially after the children heard it, they all cheered and ran between the feasts.
Jiang Ning and Wang Ruoyan stood in place, but they were stunned, and then turned back and sat down in their seats again.
Wang Zhao just stood up, and he could only go back.
"What's going on this year...... Wang Xinghe complained, missing this opportunity, it would not be easy to find trouble with Jiang Ning.
"It's okay, I'm good friends with Du Huanbing of Donglin Society, and when the time comes, he will come forward, and the Lantern Festival on the fifteenth day of the first month is also a good opportunity." Wang Zhao thought about it, and it could only be like this.
Wang Suwen smiled and said, "Still thinking about it? ”
"You know a." Wang Xinghe scolded: "If he really has real talent and learning, we can also test it, if not, then it is just right for grandpa and uncles to know what kind of character this guy is, lest Sister Ruoyan fall in love with him." ”
"Yes, yes, yes, it should be done in a reasonable way."
"We'll go too, I know Guang Anjun, maybe I can invite ...... too"
"Okay, well, then it will be set at the Lantern Festival on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, and he must be exposed in his true form......"
The people, who were still a little dull, reached a consensus on this matter, that is, they felt that they had planned for a major event in their hearts, and began to drink, and the elders of the clan were all there, although they were not staggered, but they also drank a lot.
Wang Xinghe even wanted to call Jiang Ning by his name, but he refused to give up, but was stopped by everyone and sent back.
In the night sky, a firework rose into the sky with a whistle, exploded with a snap, and turned into a sky full of stars.
Immediately after that, the second and third fireworks rose into the sky, bringing the atmosphere of the New Year to the top.
Merchants like the Yang family and the Wang family are mostly able to set off fireworks, but their location and time are not today, and from the colorful starry sky, it is the location of the Taishou Mansion.
As the location of Hangzhou's political core, this fireworks also marks that all the political and military dignitaries in Hangzhou have gathered in Taishou Mansion today to start the dinner.
It is the center of the whole of Hangzhou, and Hangzhou, as the richest place in southern Zhejiang, has naturally become the center of southern Zhejiang.
Jiang Ning glanced up, such fireworks, he really didn't appreciate them well in the past, in this era when the nightlife was basically in the Qinglou, there were no bright lights, and fireworks became the most gorgeous existence.
Wang Ruoyan was also looking at the fireworks, and the beauty emanating from her pupils was as gorgeous as fireworks.
Liu Sisi stood outside the kitchen on the second floor, with Ping'er, looking at the fireworks overhead, this time last year, it was the busiest time for the two, and now although it is leisurely, it is much happier than last year.
"Ping'er ......"
A man suddenly appeared downstairs, holding a four-story tall lunch box in his hand, and waved at the two.
The man was tall, with a rough face, even a little strong, but his speech did not match his appearance in the extreme.
"Zheng Tu, come up...... Ping'er turned around and said, "Miss, I specially asked Zheng Tu to buy a delicious Chinese New Year's Eve meal, hehehe......"
"What do I say......" Liu Sisi scraped on the bridge of Ping'er's nose, although his face was happy, but there was always a little loss in his heart, although it was not as good as in Zuiyuxuan, but this feeling was indeed unprecedented.
The fireworks covered the bright moon, the smoke and dust dissipated, and there was no brilliant fragrance, only the smell of explosives remained, which made people a little uncomfortable.
"Dynamite...... Jiang Ning turned his head and frowned......
