Yan Mingyun lives with Meng Xiaoniang, and her temperament is becoming more and more cowardly, maybe Xiaoniang thinks that she has grown up and is ambitious, so she manages her sister hard.

is only four years old, and he has to memorize poems and read books every day, and he has to spend more than an hour on memorizing poems every day, plus listening to Meng Xiaoniang's chatter every day, it is strange that he can have a good temperament.

Yan Mingyue wanted to take care of it, but she couldn't take Ming Yun to live in her yard, maybe it would be good when Ming Yun was as old as her, she was not sensible before.

When they arrived at Shou'an Hall, the Ning family and Lao Guogong had already prepared the New Year's money and distributed it to all the grandchildren, even the unborn child in Su Xiaoniang's womb.

I invited Ann to pay a New Year's greeting here, and after breakfast, I was going to visit a few well-connected houses to visit the New Year.

I went to the Eldest Princess's Mansion last year, and the Cheng Kangbo Mansion that the Shen family had befriended, and I will go there this year.

Yan Mingye went to find his classmates, Shen Yuanjing didn't come back this year, and the eldest brother wasn't there, he and his second sister Mingqiao couldn't play together, and there was only one Yan Mingyue and Yan Mingze left in the house who was about the same age as him, so it was better to go out.

Going to the street to set off firecrackers, and watching cockfighting juggling, which is better than staying at home.

Save listening to Yan Mingze say that he must be promoted in the exam.

Yan Mingxuan is not there, it is different in the end, but Yan Mingxuan wrote back, he went to Luzhou, everything was fine, and he also sent a lot of local specialties back, one to Zhenbei Hou Mansion, and one to Anyang Hou Mansion during the New Year, which is also considered that he could not personally visit the New Year's Greetings.

The letter was sent in the two days of the New Year, but it was early, and the Shen family was quite relieved to see the eldest son like this, as long as he didn't give up on himself.

The rest, she can do as a mother.

Yan Mingqiao didn't know Shen's troubles, she and her sister went to each house to pay New Year's greetings together, and then went back to the house for a lunch, and then waited for the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner in the evening to celebrate the New Year.

When it was almost dark, Chu Zheng came over and beckoned Yan Mingqiao to set off fireworks.

Chu Kan entered the palace in the afternoon, Chu Zheng finally waited until the sun set, although it was dark at this time, but the fire trees and silver flowers in the sky suddenly opened up one after another, looking bright and shining.

Chu Zheng had already thought about coming, and he prepared a cart of fireworks, which could be put on Chu Kan's return from the palace banquet.

Shen and Yan Guogong went to the palace banquet, and after Yan Mingqiao told his grandmother, he took the maid and Chu Zheng out.

Before leaving, she asked her second sister if she was going, Yan Mingyu thought a little but didn't think too much, and finally instructed Chu Zheng to take a good look at Mingqiao, and then went back to the house to make up for sleep.

When she still had to stay up at night, she hadn't slept so late for a long time, and she would be sleepy for a while if she didn't sleep first.

The Ning family happily teased a few little grandchildren, Yan Mingyue and Meng Xiaoniang played the leaf card, and even Su Qiaohui gossiped with Xu Xiuxin and a few others, and at the end of the year, it seemed that they had abandoned their previous suspicions and didn't care about anything.

*

On the long street, the lights are like daylight, and the sound of firecrackers, gongs and drums, and children running around and screaming are intertwined in my ears. There are golden lights, people come and go, they seem to be dressed in red, there are old ladies with paper-cuts on the street, and the old man who blows candy, which looks extremely festive.

Yan Mingqiao also wore red today, although Chu Zheng did not wear red, but the hairband that tied his hair was red.

Yan Mingqiao covered his ears with one hand, and was dragged by Chu Zheng with the other, "Xiao Shizi, where are we going to set off fireworks?" ”

The surroundings were too noisy, Chu Zheng didn't hear clearly, and when he turned around, he saw Yan Mingqiao open his mouth and missing a tooth, "What?" ”

Yan Mingqiao shouted: "Where to set off fireworks!" ”

Chu Zheng still didn't hear clearly, "What are you talking about?" ”

Yan Mingqiao took a big breath, "Where are you going?!" ”

Chu Zheng heard it clearly this time, "By the moat, you can see it on the surface of the river in the sky there." ”

In Chu Zheng's imagination, the fireworks in the sky and the sparkling golden light in the river must be beautiful.

Yan Mingqiao heard a moat, that is the place where the lights are put on the Qixi Festival, although the words behind it are not heard clearly, but Yan Mingqiao understood, when the sky and water reflect each other, you can see from the sky, you can also see from the river.

It's just that at this time of year, shouldn't the moat be frozen, has someone already blown the river open with firecrackers?

Can firecrackers blow up the surface of the river, the power is too great, who would dare to release it.

She didn't ask, because Chu Zheng was squeezing the flow of people in front of her and walking fast, and Yan Mingqiao had to trot to keep up.

After running for a long time, he finally reached the moat, Chu Zheng saw a whole side of slippery ice, and there were not as many people on the streets on both sides as he imagined.

In the cold winter, it is the coldest time, and the ice surface is very strong, but the sky will soon warm up after the New Year, and some rivers in the Shangyuan Festival can be opened.

Chu Zheng was shocked: "Why is it all ice!" ”

Yan Mingqiao gasped and said, "Yes, why is it all ice." ”

It's winter, it's not ice.

Chu Zheng scratched his head, "I don't know, I'll look for another place." ”

There are few people here, so it is estimated that it is not very beautiful.

Yan Mingqiao was already out of breath from exhaustion, and she hurriedly said, "Xiao Shizi, let's just go here, don't go anywhere else." ”

She ran for more than a quarter of an hour, her leg was about to break, the ice was like a mirror, and she could also see the fireworks, "The frozen water, the fireworks should also look good." ”

Chu Zheng scratched his head, "Okay, I'll take you to put it." ”

The carriage was next to it, and the steward of the Hou Mansion in Zhenbei was dressed very thickly, and came over to greet Yan Mingqiao, "Shizi, be careful." ”

Chu Zheng hummed lightly, took out a fire fold from his arms, and said to Yan Mingqiao: "You stay away first, don't be afraid to take you and let it go." ”

Yan Mingqiao swished to the side of the carriage.

She took a good look at the carriage to see what the fireworks looked like, a circle of paper tubes, I don't know what they were, and she smelled a little choked, she hadn't read a book on this, she didn't know anything about it.

There is a long line drilled out of the top of the fireworks barrel, which is not very thin and not very thick, which should be the twist of the fireworks.

She watched Chu Zheng bend over to release the flowers, and hurriedly covered her ears.

She couldn't see Chu Zheng lighting fireworks from this position, so she could only infer from her actions that she would light it when she stood up, and she would soon release it when she ran this way.

"Xiao Shizi, hurry up."

Chu Zheng was also afraid of being bombed, and he was terrified, and when he ran over, the firecracker bucket shook several times as if it had been beaten, and then a flame flew into the sky, and then burst into a red spark.

With the sound of swishing and lala, it was like stars falling from the sky.

The popping sound was in her ears, Yan Mingqiao raised her head and looked at the sky, a firecracker bucket had eight flowers, this was not over, she ran to the river, the black river surface became icy at the moment when the fireworks exploded, and the red sparks were reflected on the river, which was really beautiful.

It's so beautiful.

It was about the loud sound of fireworks here, and someone was coming this way, Yan Mingqiao tried to put one behind, but she was afraid of being blown up, so she ran away with the fire fold before she lit it, Chu Zheng kept laughing, and finally ran back and forth three times before releasing one.

In this way, Yan Mingqiao's heart fluttered.

Chu Zheng thought it was too funny, "Just put a flower, are you there?" ”

Yan Mingqiao nodded affirmatively, "As for it, I don't dare, Xiao Shizi, come on." ”

Chu Zheng: "...... There is also a car, I knew that Ming Ye was also here. ”

Yan Mingye and Chu Zheng are both the kind of people who don't work very hard, but are very sensible, probably because the two are alike, but they can't play together.

Yan Mingye went to find a friend, he was with Shen Yuanjing at this time last year, but Shen Yuanjing didn't come back this year, and the second brother played with someone else.

Yan Mingqiao said: "If you can't finish it, you can take it back, this won't be bad." ”

It can't be broken, but it's all taken out.

A car of fireworks, if you don't let it go, it will be difficult to walk back for a while?

Chu Zheng said in his heart, anyway, Chu Kan was suspicious that he came back late, so he slowly let it go, he flipped over from the car and turned out a handful of small flowers, "You play with this small one, it won't explode if you light it." ”

Yan Mingqiao saw that it was a small stick like a cattail, Chu Zheng ordered one for her to see, and after lighting it, it could burn for a while.

Holding it in your hand and dangling it is like catching a firefly.

A handful of Hua Yan Ming buckwheat played for a while, and when the last bucket was finished, Chu Zheng rubbed his hands, "Go back." ”

He has to send people back to the Yanguo Mansion properly.

"My father and I went to your house in the third year of junior high school."

The first day of junior high school does not go out, the second day of junior high school is the day to go back to his parents' house, the third day of junior high school is the most recent day, and in a few days, Chu Kan is suspicious to return to the northwest again.

There is no elder in the Hou Mansion in Zhenbei, so it is not appropriate for the Shen family to bring Yan Mingyu to the door, so it can only be the Chu family.

Chu Kan was suspicious of going back to the northwest and going back to the northwest, Chu Zheng was worried that in a few days, he would go back to the academy, and he was really worried about him.

Once this year is over, it's not fun.

Chu Zheng thought worriedly, if he could not go to school all the time, it would be good to play every day.

Yan Mingqiao didn't know what Chu Zheng was thinking, "I'll tell my mother." ”

When the carriage stopped at the gate of the Yan Guo Mansion, Yan Mingqiao waved at Chu Zheng and galloped back to find his grandmother.

Ning Shi saw that her face was frozen red, and hurriedly asked her granddaughter to sit beside her, and asked the maid to take the soup woman, "What are you going out to do on such a cold day." ”

Yan Mingqiao said: "I'm going to set off fireworks, but it's beautiful." ”

Ning deliberately kept a straight face, "That's also cold, fireworks can be set off for more than half an hour." ”

Yan Mingqiao couldn't help it, but if a car of fireworks was not finished, she and Chu Zheng would have to get out of the car and walk back.

"Grandmother, there are a lot of people outside, but it's fun, I forgot the time for a while, and I won't be next time."

Ning said: "Okay, you go and see if Mingyu is up, and your father and they should come back in a while." ”

The Chinese New Year's Eve dinner was almost ready, Yan Mingqiao could smell the aroma of rice, Yan Mingyu had already woken up, and after a little freshening, he went to the main hall with his sister.

After waiting for a while, Shen and Yan Guogong came back from the palace, and the two looked very harmonious, after all, it was the Chinese New Year's Eve, and it was always bad to make the old man unhappy.

After eating the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner and keeping the New Year, Shen was afraid that Su Qiaohui would not be able to stand it if she was pregnant, so she let her go back first.

Unexpectedly, Su Qiaohui stood up and said: "Madam, it's just like this once a year, don't worry, the concubine wants to keep the New Year with everyone." ”

The Shen family went by her, anyway, her words were put in front, and Su Qiaohui wanted to keep the year.

When the New Year is about to pass, it is the New Year, and I go to bed almost two hours later than usual.

When Yan Mingqiao was in Zhuangzi, he slept at the latest, and next to Shen, he was so sleepy that his upper and lower eyelids were fighting.

I finally persevered until halfway through the hour, and the sound of firecrackers sounded outside, and finally the New Year.

She was another year older, eight years old.

Shen looked at his two daughters, then at his son who was sitting next to Ning, and sighed in his heart, the children had grown up again.

She said, "Okay, let's be sleepy, go to sleep." ”

Shen told Su Qiaohui's maid again, "It's dark, hold on carefully." ”

She took Yan Mingqiao back to the main courtyard, with Yan Guogong on the side.

Yan Guogong drank wine at the palace banquet, and drank a cup with Chu Kanji, and drank two glasses with Lao Guogong at the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, full of wine, "This is really good, the first half of the year to handle the marriage of Mingxuan, and when the spring of next year begins, Mingyu gets married, and there are fewer and fewer children in the house." ”
