Chapter Seventy-Six: The Fireworks Feast
When the group came to the fireworks stall, the stall owner greeted Luo Anhua and Zuo Qiusheng, the two big patrons, with a smile, but turned his head and saw Wu Jifeng walking beside Luo Anhua, and was immediately startled, and immediately reacted, hurriedly walked out of the stall to greet him, bowed his hand and said: "The little one asks the second master to say goodbye, I don't know that the second master is coming, it is really a loss of welcome, and please atone for the second master!"
Wu Jifeng was stunned, hurriedly stepped forward to help him up, and said, "Old man, why bother with such a big gift." ”
At this time, many of the townspeople who came and went by the stall had heard the voice of the old man and looked over to this side. So, those who recognized Wu Jifeng were also as shocked as the stall owner and the old man, and began to salute one after another; those who didn't recognize began to inquire about the people around them, and most of them panicked after getting the answer, and immediately saluted, and secretly looked up when giving the salute, wanting to take a serious look at Wu Erye's appearance.
For a while, the fireworks stall was lively, and a circle of people surrounded it, those who knew learned from the people in front of them to salute, and those who didn't know just gathered here from elsewhere to see what new excitement was there.
Zuo Qiusheng was a little scared, and immediately hid to Luo Anhua's side, grabbed his sleeve with both hands, lowered his head, and buried his face behind his wide sleeve.
Wu Jifeng sighed as he looked at the crowd around him, took Feng Yin's hand and protected her behind him, and said to those who saluted: "Fathers and fellow villagers, get up quickly, Jifeng has no merit and no virtue, and he really can't stand everyone's courtesy." Seeing that everyone was not moving, he said, "Tonight, like everyone else, I am here to have fun, and we should not restrain each other, if everyone is not comfortable, it is my fault." ”
It's just that there are too many people saluting at this time, and no one dares to take the lead in straightening up.
The stall owner and the old man seemed to have some prestige, and when he heard Wu Jifeng say this, he raised his hand to everyone and said, "Okay, since the second master has said it, and everyone is courteous, let's get up, feel comfortable, and do whatever you have to do." ”
So everyone looked left and right, answered yes as if agreed, and then got up one after another.
But many people here have never seen Wu Jifeng's appearance, so they can't help but want to take this opportunity to see clearly, so they don't go far, only lingering in some stalls near the fireworks stall. Especially some girls who have not yet come out of the cabinet are even more reluctant to go, they have long heard that Wu Jifeng has not yet married, although they also know that there is a distance between themselves and Wu Jifeng from the Nine Heavens, they still can't help but want to take a look, want to think about it, so as to take a few glances at this moment as a model, for themselves and Tang Tang's Wu Erye in their hearts to write a tortuous excerpt, even if there is no chance to see each other in the future, but from time to time to take out the excerpt to taste a product, it is also very satisfying.
How could Luo Anhua not see what the blushing girls in all directions were thinking, and how could he not see Wu Jifeng's embarrassment at this time. He couldn't help but be happy, and wanted to tease Wu Jifeng, so he took a step forward, slapped the fan on his hand and shook the sky, pretending to be surprised: "Could it be that Brother Tai is ......" He took another step forward before he spit out the second half of the sentence, "Is it the second master Wu of the General's Mansion?"
Wu Jifeng looked at him, and then looked at Zuo Qiusheng behind him, who had been rubbing the corners of his clothes with his head down, and couldn't help but think that Zuo Qiusheng was afraid because he knew his identity, so he paused before saying: "It's really not deliberately concealed, but I'm afraid that rashly revealing my identity will make Brother Luo have scruples, and I hope Brother Luo won't blame." ”
Luo Anhua hurriedly smiled and shook his head, conjuring up a look full of joy, and said: "As early as when I was in the Imperial City, I heard that the second master of the Wu family was a romantic Tang and a talent, and this time I saw that this was really the case, you look at the girls around you, which one is not secretly looking at you." ”
Wu Jifeng had never been teased so directly, and when he saw that the girls around him looked at him with a smile even more unabashedly because of this sentence, he didn't know how to answer for a while, his face turned slightly red, and he lowered his head and said, "Brother Luo, don't make fun of it anymore." ”
Luo Anhua still refused to let go, took another step forward, deliberately approached him, and whispered: "Brother Wu, I can't hide it, Mrs. Li in the court is the big patron of my family, and she intends to marry her youngest daughter to you." Knowing that I came to Shawu Town this time, I specially instructed me to inquire about your appearance and character, I have seen that Miss Li, dignified and pretty, and the posture of the city, Brother Wu rest assured, I will definitely speak well for Brother Wu when I return to the imperial city, Brother Wu is waiting for the beauty to enter the house!"
Where has anyone ever said such a thing in front of Wu Jifeng, he was a little stunned for a while, he wanted to say something, but he felt that everything was wrong, so his face turned from red to white, and he was dumbfounded for a while.
Luo Anhua looked at him and felt happy in his heart, and felt that it was much more interesting than teasing his own demon.
Feng Yin was almost stunned by Luo Anhua's lie that came from his mouth, she endured it, and finally couldn't help glaring at him, and then turned her face to Wu Jifeng and opened her mouth, "Uncle, didn't you say that you came to set off fireworks, what about fireworks?"
Wu Jifeng took the opportunity to breathe a sigh of relief, and didn't ask Luo Anhua, but turned his head to look at Zuo Qiusheng, and said, "Little brother, where are your fireworks?"
Zuo Qiusheng didn't expect him to speak to himself, he was stunned at first, then looked up at him, then pointed to the fireworks stall, and said, "It's all stored here." ”
When the old man of the stall saw Zuo Qiusheng pointing over, he immediately dragged those fireworks out one by one from under the stone platform, and said to Wu Jifeng: "It's all here, the little boy has bought a lot!"
Wu Jifeng couldn't help but smile when he saw that number, and asked again: "You said you wanted to invite people to watch it together, but in addition to us, how many people were invited?"
Zuo Qiusheng's eyes rolled widely, and he replied in a very low voice, "It's still ...... I haven't invited anyone yet. ”
Wu Jifeng asked him again, "Then how much do you want to invite?"
Zuo Qiusheng looked up at him, pursed his lips and smiled a little shyly, "I want to ...... Naturally, the more the merrier. ”
Wu Jifeng nodded, turned around and walked to the stall owner, bent down to say something to him, took out a piece of silver and stuffed it into his hand, the old man nodded vigorously, and then smiled, and said: "Then thank you to the little boy and the second master, you can rest assured, it will be lively." ”
Then Wu Jifeng walked back to Zuo Qiusheng and said to him: "Let's go to the clearing first and wait, and we will all come in a while." ”
Zuo Qiusheng didn't expect that his biggest headache would be solved so easily by Second Master Wu, so he couldn't help scratching his head and laughing, thinking, no wonder Miss Fengyin was so reluctant to uncle, he was such a thoughtful and proper person.
Luo Anhua was naturally even more happy, he glanced at Wu Jifeng approvingly, and then pulled Zuo Qiusheng to take the lead.
After the group left, the old man of the stall called a few half-sized children who were playing not far away, gave each of them a lot of money, and instructed them to move all the fireworks on and off the stall to the open space in front of them.
After they left, the old man walked to the middle of the road and said to everyone: "Folks, tonight there is a little boy who wants to hold a fireworks banquet in the open space in front of him, please all go and watch it, and Wu Erye will also go with you, it is convenient for you, why don't you go and have a show." ”
Some little girls laughed happily when they heard that there was a fireworks feast, and when they heard that Wu Erye was also going with them, they were even more excited and even their hands trembled, and they hurriedly asked, "Old man, when will it start?"
The old man also knew the thoughts of these girls, so he couldn't help laughing, pointed to that place, and said, "Immediately, the second master has gone, so hurry up, girls, pick a good seat first." ”
When the girls heard this, they didn't bother to squirm, and when they lifted their skirts, they walked towards it in a noisy manner. The girls walked in front, followed by men, women, and children who had nothing to do, and in a short time a large number of people gathered together to the open space.
Those half-sized children lined up those giant fireworks in the center of the clearing, arranged them in three rows, and scattered some smaller ones around, forming a square, and finally handed over the fairy sticks for children to Wu Jifeng.
Wu Jifeng took the fairy stick and handed it to Zuo Qiusheng, and took out some silver money and distributed it to those half-grown children, they happily took the money and thanked them, and then walked to the crowd behind Wu Jifeng.
Zuo Qiusheng took the fairy stick, a little at a loss. looked at the wind around him and handed her one, but he didn't know how to give the rest away.
Luo Anhua glanced at him and gave it to the girl behind him, who thanked him and happily distributed it to the sisters beside him. At this point, one after another, the girls came over by themselves, took the fireworks from Zuo Qiusheng with a red face, and thanked them with a red face.
Some children also came with the girls, stretching out their hands and saying softly, "I want it too," and when Luo Anhua handed it out, he would say softly and glutinously, "Thank you, brother." ”
Luo Anhua blushed, but he was extremely happy in his heart.
After a while, the stall owner and the old man also arrived, he first saluted Wu Jifeng, took two steps forward, stood in front of the crowd, and turned to the crowd, "There are a lot of people coming, let's not wait anymore, let's start." ”
Everyone said yes in unison, with an excited look.
As soon as the old man beckoned, a half-sized man walked up with a few fire folds and handed them to Wu Jifeng, Luo Anhua, Zuo Qiusheng and Feng Yin respectively.
The old man looked at Wu Jifeng and asked, "Second master, this is the first sound, but can you come here?"
Wu Jifeng looked at Luo Anhua, Luo Anhua looked at Zuo Qiusheng as soon as he looked at him, Wu Jifeng understood, and said, "Naturally, the host of the banquet should come." ”
Luo Anhua smiled, brushed his fire fold and handed it to Zuo Qiusheng, smiled softly and lovingly, and said, "You should come, go." ”
Zuo Qiusheng suddenly had some courage in his encouraging gaze, smiled, and although he was still very nervous, he still walked out slowly and walked to the center of the fireworks array.
He stood next to the largest firework canister, looked back at Luo Anhua, and clenched his fists very nervously.
Luo Anhua nodded at him, his smile full of comfort and encouragement.
Zuo Qiusheng looked at the crowd behind Luo Anhua again, laughed, bent down, and lit the fuse with a fire breaker.
