Huai'an howled dryly: "Mother, he has a more interesting ......"

"Stop howling!" Chen Yong smiled: "Trust me, you must like it." ”

As he spoke, he took out a bunch of tools and weighed out some pig iron powder, miscellaneous nitrate, sulfur ash, etc. according to the ratio.

While doing it, he explained: "Depending on the ratio, different effects can be released, some can be soaring, some can make a continuous sound, and there are ...... like this."

Only then did Huai'an realize that this kid was doing artillery fighting.

He's doing a cannon fight!

With lightning speed, he hid behind the wall again.

Chen Yong shook his head helplessly, ignored him anymore, skillfully filled the medicinal powder, made a small disc-shaped cannonball, threw it on the ground, and ignited the fuse.

Huai'an closed his eyes and covered his ears: Amitabha, Hallelujah, Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable, Amen......

There were only a few muffled sounds of swishing, and the small discs were sparkling, spinning and scurrying around on the ground.

Huai'an put down his hand in a daze, staring at it.

"It's called a ground mouse, is it fun?" Chen Yong said.

"It's fun." Huai'an gradually let down his guard.

What kid can resist the temptation of fireworks?

In the previous three years, the family was filial piety, and there were no fireworks during the two New Year's Holidays. Huai'an didn't live for a few years in his life, and he didn't know that there was such a fun style on the market.

He asked, "Can you buy this thing in a fireworks shop?" ”

Chen Yong said proudly: "Exclusive invention, there is no such thing on the market." ”

Huai'an was lost for a while, and asked again: "Can I bring Peng'er to see?" ”

Chen Yong looked at the heavy rain outside the door of the hall and said, "Next time, next time I go to the yard to put it, and in the evening, you can put many at a time." ”

Huai'an nodded repeatedly.

Looking at his room full of munitions, he said in his heart, no wonder he has to go to the Shen family, an arms genius, leaving his uncle and grandfather in charge of the Ordnance Bureau around, where else can he go?

He no longer forced his cousin to go home with him, but looked at him with admiration, and told him how such fun fireworks were made.

……

When he returned home in the evening, Huai'an told his eldest brother and Sister Peng about the interesting things of "ground mice".

Huaiming felt that he was naïve, but Sister Peng didn't understand it at all.

When he thought about it, the eldest brother always looked old and young, and the younger sister had never experienced the fun of fireworks since she was born.

"Hey—"

Shen Yu looked up at him: "At a young age, what do you always sigh about?" ”

Huai'an said melancholy: "When you live to my age, you will know, it is normal to be not understood in life." ”

Shen Yu said lightly: "If you don't sleep again, you won't be able to get up tomorrow, and it's normal to be beaten." ”

Chapter 51

It's the Mid-Autumn Festival in a blink of an eye. The bright moon shines on the north and south of the river, whether it is the capital or the locality, the high gate or the people, they must go out to admire the moon, visit the street market, and put lanterns.

On this day, young girls who live deep in the house can also dress up and invite friends to show off.

At the beginning of the lanterns, the sheng song is noisy.

On the brightly lit Mid-Autumn Festival night market, rows of shops are full of lanterns, illuminating half of the capital as bright as day, and it is very lively.

The palace has not held a Mid-Autumn Festival banquet to entertain the ministers for many years, the emperor is very indifferent to family affection, since the death of the crown prince, King Yong went to the fief to avoid interference, and even the family banquet was canceled, and the entire Ouchi faction was lifeless.

The imperial court was also like a pool of stagnant water, and after being blown up by Ronghe's small cannonball, it returned to calm.

Princess Wenyang never celebrates festivals with horses, and festivals such as the Mid-Autumn Festival in previous years were spent in King Qi's mansion.

But this year, when the princess invited her to come over as usual, she was refused.

The princess knew that she had always been a maverick, and she was no longer reluctant, but persuaded her bitterly: "I still want a child, while your brother and I are in the capital, we can still take care of him when he grows up, and when you are old, you will have something to rely on." Thou art alone now, in case one day ......"

Princess Qi didn't say any more, what she was afraid of was that one day King Yong ascended the throne, their family was driven out of the capital, and Wenyang would have no home at all.

Wen Yang knew that her sister-in-law was thinking about her, so she responded indiscriminately, and said a few more thoughtful words, and when she saw that it was not too early, she sent her sister-in-law out of the princess's mansion.

King Qi has always felt sorry for Princess Wenyang, she is his only sibling sister in this world. On the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, he stared at the silver moon that was about to be full in the sky, and sighed again and again.

The princess persuaded: "If Wenyang doesn't come, there must be a better place to go." ”

King Qi sighed and nodded: "Everyone in the world knows that the royal princess is a noble princess, but no one knows their suffering. ”

In order to prevent foreign relatives from interfering in politics, the princesses and princesses of heaven must be selected from ordinary families with innocent families. Although there are no family background requirements, they require the children of Gaomen to resign from their posts and raise their honors once they are princesses and county lords, and their careers are lost.

Therefore, the champion Xu is just a drama on the stage in this era, and the big families and scholarly families are usually reluctant to be the masters, and the horses are mostly chosen from the commoner families with solid family backgrounds but not too high social status.

The royal family and the commoners are two classes that have no contact, so the selection and recommendation of the concubines fall into the hands of the eunuchs, and there is too much room for dark operations.

In order to marry princesses and county lords, many wealthy families bribed the eunuchs who officiated. The eunuchs only looked at the silver taels, not the appearance, and often recommended some vulgar and stubborn men to the emperor and empress to choose.

The favored princess may still have a chance to save, after all, the emperor personally checks the pass, and the ending is not too bad, and the unfavored princess can only be pinched and flattened and married to some talented and virtuous people.

Princess Wenyang was not favored and had no one to control her, so she became one of the victims of this selection mechanism.

Once upon a time, he was the son of a wealthy family who ate, drank, prostitutes, and gambled, and he gambled with others at the wine table, boasting that he could marry a princess, and was laughed at by his companions.

After waking up, he felt that he had lost face, and his parents who were looking for death and life had to marry a princess. As soon as the family inquired, they found that as long as they have money, it is not difficult to marry a princess, and marrying with the royal family can also improve the status of the family, so why not? went to spend money to buy the eunuchs, fulfilled his son's wish, let him marry Princess Wenyang, and became the emperor's son-in-law.

Wen Yang was very clear about his fate, and he had already been mentally prepared, and on the day of his wedding, he saw that the horse was really a straw bag with no talent and no virtue, and his appearance was extremely obscene, so he was disgusted.

However, she did not complain and lament her fate, but threw him out of the princess's mansion by the collar of the colt, like a dirty rag, clapped her hands when she had thrown it, closed the door and covered her head and fell asleep.

According to the ancestral system, the concubine can neither live with the princess, nor can she take concubines and concubines, and if you want to see the princess, you need to listen to the summons.

After being married for so many years, Wen Yang rarely summoned the concubine, and every time he heard that he was about to die of depression, he called this nominal husband to give him a few words of cordial condolences.

"How's it going? Is Uncle Jun okay? Did my sister-in-law give birth? Is my sister-in-law married? What is the eldest nephew's exam? ”

Seeing the colt crying like a tearful person, Wen Yang felt quite uncomfortable: "Eh, don't cry!" This is your life and mine, you just accept your fate, reincarnate, remember to stop yelling about being a colt. ”

Then he threw him out again.

Wenyang Ma's family found the eunuch who was the main marriage of the year, and shouted to divorce his wife, and the old eunuch had already retired from the position of the celebrant and bought a house and land for retirement.

Hearing this, he also pinched the male duck's throat and sneered: "What's the matter, I'm not satisfied with marrying a princess, does your son want to go to heaven to marry a fairy daughter?" Don't dream, there is no arrow to turn back when you open the bow, there is no princess who has divorced, and there is no concubine who divorces his wife! If you want to stop your wife and remarry, turn left and reincarnate! ”

The horse's parents were so humiliated that they bribed a certain eunuch from the celebrant to kill the old man on a fabricated charge.

I've been doing this for a long time, and there are a lot of handles, and the charges are ready-made, just to see if anyone wants to find out.

As a result, the old eunuch who "betrayed" Wenyang at a high price was soon sent to the Dongchang prison, and was put on the checkoff list along with this batch of death row prisoners for the autumn trial.

Princess Wenyang calmly watched these people eat dogs, and only enjoyed an excerpt when she was bored.

On the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, she ordered someone to buy a large box of silk flowers and red ropes, and changed into civilian clothes and went to Yunqingguan.

Zhou Xichen saw her again, he often saw her in the view recently, she was pure and flawless like a fairy who fell into the dust, but she was approachable and tossed among the homeless.

The children who were reading with Zhou Xichen saw Wen Yang, like a group of small house sparrows gradually taking off, surrounding Wen Yang, and shouting "Sister Fairy".

It's going to be a holiday, Wenyang wears red ropes for the children, and the girls have a hairpin on their heads.

The child wearing the silk flower ran to Zhou Xichen's side again, and shouted to him excitedly: "Brother Daochang, is it good-looking?" ”

Wen Yang looked at the innocent and lovely children, smiling as bright as her name, and when she looked up and saw Zhou Xichen looking at her, she nodded at him with a smile.

Zhou Xichen has been in the observation for a long time, not like a man in the dust, out of etiquette or some ulterior motives, he panicked and avoided his gaze, he dared to look directly at her, and bowed his head towards her.

Wen Yang had never seen such an unworldly person, and suddenly became teasing, handed a goose-yellow silk flower to the eldest girl and the second girl, and whispered a few words in their ears.

The two children ran to Zhou Xichen, pestered him to make him squat, and tiptoed to a flower beside his lotus crown.

The children were so excited that they clapped and laughed around him, but he was not annoyed or taken off, but wore it on his head as if he had been honored and wore it all day.

……

Huai'an ate a lot of fruits and snacks at his uncle's house that night, and followed his brothers and sisters to the street to play crazy until late at night. Carrying a rabbit lamp and hanging a candy cube full of cubes, he came home.

When I came back, I still didn't sleep, and I jumped up and down in bed.

Shen Yu always felt that this child had been too excited recently, and he was prone to happiness and sadness.

As a result, it became a prophecy, and the next day, Huai'an was really beaten.

But it wasn't because of being late, in Huai'an's view, it was simply a disaster.

Shen Yu retreated as usual.

Xu Tinglan is busy, the family is not manpowered, Sister Peng has reached the terrible two-year-old rebellious period, and her emotions are always ups and downs.

As soon as Shen Shi got out of class, Huai'an came to his parents' room aggrievedly and stretched out a swollen left hand.

It's all from my father and mother, how can I not feel distressed in my eyes.

Xu Tinglan put down the abacus and account book in his hand, pulled his son to his side, and asked Linglong to get the ointment to reduce swelling and labor pain without asking the reason first.

When he returned to his father's side, he felt a great grievance, Huai'an pursed his lips, as if he wanted to cry, but thinking about his experience during the day, he felt miserable and ridiculous, so he cried twice and laughed twice, looking like he had been played.

But the couple was frightened, Xu Tinglan hurriedly touched his forehead: "Don't burn it......"

After he eased his emotions, Shen Yu asked, "What's the matter?" ”

"Today, I learned to fight, and Mr. asked me and Lu Huai to make a trial poem with five words and six rhymes." Huai'an said: "It was windy and rainy outside today, so Lu Huai made a sentence: The good wind welcomes the dense trees, and the rain moistens the streams and ponds." ”

Shen Yu nodded: "Yes, what have you done?" ”

Huai'an said: "I listen to the wind and rain, and the situation, so I follow the learning, what I do is: the wind rises during the day, and the rain sleeps at night." ”

Shen Yu was pleasantly surprised that his son could make such progress, and exclaimed: "It's also very good!" ”
