In the evening of New Year's Day, it snowed.

Shangguan Yi went to a shop he frequented in Kyoto to get pre-ordered sweets, and the owner of this shop didn't know what a strange person he was, and the sweets he made were unique, which was a little different from the shops next to him, and in a prosperous place like Kyoto, he needed this kind of difference.

During the Chinese New Year, there are no more people who come to buy sweets, not because they don't want to buy them, but because they can't buy them. Half a month before the Chinese New Year, the store posted a notice saying that the sale of sweets would be stopped, and if you want to buy it, make a reservation in advance, the number is limited, and you can buy it as soon as possible.

At that time, Shangguan Yi happened to pass by, and by the way, he went in to make an appointment, and the clerk lined up, and it was the evening of the New Year, so he came to pick it up, but it snowed not long after he walked out of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and he didn't bring an umbrella, so he had to brave the snow to move forward, and then go back quickly after taking something smoothly, just walking back, he noticed that something was wrong, it seems, someone is following him?

The man's footsteps were soft, but the sound of each step was the same size, and it seemed to have an unusual rhythm, showing the leisurely mood of the owner.

Shangguan Yi turned his head slowly, standing in the wind and snow and looking at the back, a woman holding a plain umbrella, walking towards him with light and fine steps, she was plain white, a few points whiter than the snowflakes in the sky, clear and translucent eyes stared at Shangguan Yi, there was no unusual feeling, plain as water, Qiong's nose was delicate and small, her lips were a little white, she seemed to be afraid of the cold, and her fair face was also slightly bruised, which did not destroy the beauty, but gave people a feeling of pity out of thin air, which was pitiful, and the long black hair was tied up and bypassed the left shoulder, hanging down on the chest, which was indescribably moving。 She held an umbrella in one hand and a small package like Shangguan Yi in the other, which seemed to come out of that shop.

Shangguan Yi's hand holding the package in his left hand tightened slightly, his body tensed slightly, and he was ready to run away, this stunning beauty was the one he saw in the palace last night, and he captured many mortal singers, and he was also the actor before, anyway, it was the woman who made him feel very dangerous.

She approached slowly, then stopped not far in front of Shangguan Yi, and asked coldly, "Why does Childe keep staring at the little girl?"

"Is there one?" Shangguan Yi asked rhetorically without changing his face, he didn't quite understand what this woman meant, if he thought too much, it would naturally be the best, if not, it would be tricky.

"Yes. The woman nodded.

"Maybe it's because I didn't bring an umbrella, but you did. Shangguan Yi said a reason that seemed very reliable, but was actually very unreliable, how could he be afraid of the cold? At most, he was afraid that his clothes would be soaked by the melting snow.

"I see, if the son wants to, can you hold an umbrella to send the little girl back to the theater? This day is cold and tight, and the hands are a little unbearable to be exposed outside, if the son is kind, the little woman is grateful. The woman seemed to suddenly realize and nodded, saying that she was asking Shangguan Yi to give her, but in fact, she shared the umbrella with him, saving him from worrying.

"Huh?" Shangguan Yi didn't expect to lift a stone to hit his own feet, he was stunned for a moment, and then he had to thank him, then took the umbrella and her bag of sweets, and sent her back with an umbrella.

He thought that the ancient woman was reserved, and at most separated from him after a few polite words, but he forgot that this person was not an ordinary person at all, she was a person like a drama, and the environment in which she was in was different from that of ordinary women, not to mention that she might still deliberately approach and cause some trouble for herself, so naturally it was impossible to let herself go so easily, and she shouldn't have stopped if she knew it, just go directly.

Shangguan Yi regretted it, but when he heard her talk, he probably thought that the two of them went to the same store because it was a kind of fate or something, Shangguan Yi replied a few words perfunctorily, although he didn't show a perfunctory meaning, but he really didn't pay much attention, he was thinking about what was waiting for him later.

"If the little woman is not mistaken, she has already met Childe three times, this is also a kind of fate, but she has not yet asked Childe's name, it is really a little inappropriate, if it is convenient, can you tell the little girl to know?" The woman still asked coldly, although the question asked was a little inappropriate, but her own emotions did not fluctuate.

"Why do you have to know each other before, it's no good to know me. Shangguan Yi shook his head and didn't intend to say it.

"Really? Xing Gongzi won't think so in the future. The woman seemed to have expected Shangguan Yi to say this, and after a simple reply, she continued: "The little woman's name is called, and the son will take care of her in the future." ”

"In the future? And it's a stage name, isn't it? It's not a real name. "Shangguan Yi has more and more question marks.

"The little girl has to stay in Kyoto for a long time, and Childe doesn't seem to be an ordinary person, so maybe she will have to deal with it. Of course, the name is a stage name, as soon as you enter this circle, it is as deep as the sea, and the past is put aside, and the stage name is also the name. In the end, the woman finally had a trace of emotional fluctuations, which was sad.

Maybe she doesn't want to be so long-sleeved and good at dancing, playing with men's hearts, so as to achieve her own goals, ......right? Is this your business?

Shangguan Yi thought very indifferently, maybe this trace of sadness was also deliberately revealed by her to show him, she felt that her usual appearance couldn't catch her heart, so she changed a strategy, she couldn't be caught by her.

"When I arrive, I'll leave this umbrella for Childe to use, and remember to return it to the little girl in the future, this is the little woman's favorite umbrella. The woman took the package handed over by Shangguan Yi, walked to the eaves in front of the theater building lightly and skillfully, left the umbrella to Shangguan Yi, and said to Shangguan Yi a little affectionately.

Shangguan Yi felt the sight of the surroundings, and his heart was full of mind, quite reluctant, but he could only accept this umbrella, and if he continued to make trouble, it would only be more chaotic, and it would make people misunderstand what the two of them had, and it was the best policy to leave now.

So he immediately thanked him and left with an umbrella.

After going back, I had to be laughed at by the little monk and Jun Yishen, and I could meet a beauty when I went out to get something, and there was no one in this peach blossom luck, and I actually pretended to be very reluctant, tsk.

Shangguan Yi naturally shouted grievances, carefully explained the situation, and asked Jun Yishen: "Do you know where they come from?"

"I know a little bit, it is said that the opera troupe that came to the East China Sea recently, because the performance is excellent, so it is famous, many people know them, the Yue family also specially invited them to come over to perform, and then it took root in Kyoto, Miss Linglong is versatile, dusty, and not close to anyone, I didn't expect this time to actually have a good eye on you, maybe you work hard, you can marry her home. Jun Yishen said and ridiculed Shangguan Yi.

"Heh, I haven't been too long-lived, I recently came to the East China Sea, what about before?" Shangguan Yi sneered and continued to ask.

"Northern Cold. Jun Yishen only said two words, but it was enough to make Shangguan Yi and the little monk silent.

The wolf clan in the north has never stopped watching, and the people from the northern cold are always vigilant, even if they are businessmen, but what they do is not necessarily what businessmen should do.

"You have to take more precautions, and Qian Quanlin, if one of the two of you has a problem, the East China Sea may have an opportunity. Shangguan Yi frowned, his expression a little cautious.

"Eh, it's okay if you don't remind me, but once I am reminded, I found something to do again. Jun Yishen smiled bitterly, and there was some worry in his eyebrows.

"The threat of Beihan shouldn't be so fatal to the East China Sea, right?, or is there something wrong with Zhongzhen?" Shangguan Yi was a little puzzled, and then thought of something, and his face was a little difficult to look at.

"It's not that bad yet, but we really have to prepare in advance, if that day comes, if the East China Sea is not ready for battle, corpses are everywhere, and blood is flowing. Jun Yishen raised his head and drank a glass of wine fiercely, and his warm face was rarely more murderous and hideous.

"Do you have a grudge against Beihan?" Shangguan Yi's eyebrows jumped, Jun Yishen, what is the situation, if Qian Quanlin behaves like this, it is understandable, but you are like this...... Not suitable, right?

"I personally don't, but the East China Sea and the North Han have, the national hatred and family hatred are the most difficult to solve, if the North Han fights, how many soldiers will die tragically on the battlefield? Jun Yishen sighed as he spoke.

Shangguan Yi immediately understood that this guy was compassionate and speechless, patted him on the shoulder, and said: "Fortunately, you are not a general, this matter is with Qian Quanlin, let him take care of it, he is better than you." ”

"Hmm. Jun Yishen nodded, he also knew that this kind of feeling was inappropriate, but he also really felt sorry for those soldiers, it would be good if the negotiation could solve the problem, but unfortunately in this world, after all, it is better than the fist, whoever has the bigger fist has the right to speak.

"I heard that there will be a fireworks display tonight?" The little monk diverted the topic, it was still inappropriate for him to talk about the government, two Jianghu people and a court official talked about what was going on in the future political direction, and it would cause trouble if it was spread out.

"Well, it's super spectacular, you can see it clearly from that attic in the Prime Minister's Mansion, let's go there and wait after dinner." Jun Yishen nodded.

The fireworks display is a New Year's custom in the Tokai Sea, and the continuous fireworks are set off throughout Kyoto, making it a nice sight to behold.

"Doesn't the Prime Minister's Mansion set off fireworks?" Shangguan Yi hit the bull's-eye with a question.

"Well, I didn't think it was necessary before, so I didn't let people show up. Jun Yi Shen weighed the wording and said. He actually felt very bored, so he didn't bother to put it down, of course, he basically didn't watch it, but the host was as he pleased, and if the two of them wanted to see it today, they could do it.

"Why don't we go and set off fireworks today?" find an open place, or go outside with the people?" Shangguan Yi proposed.

"There may be no fireworks in the Prime Minister's Palace. Jun Yishen tried to refuse.

"Donor, aren't you afraid of fireworks?" The little monk also provoked Jun Yishen with bad intentions, and after mixing with Shangguan Yi for so long, the original white paper was dirty.

"Then go buy it, if you have money, you can make a ghost to grind, fireworks, small things, you can do it casually, and I'll show you a hand later, so that you know that setting off fireworks is also a science." Shangguan Yi proudly held his head high, and said to Jun Yishen in a strong man's lock.

"Go and prepare some fireworks, more of them, and go outside to get a spot by the way, and try not to disturb the people. Jun Yishen reluctantly went to order his subordinates, and today he had to sacrifice his life to accompany the gentleman.

A few people hastily ate and then came to an empty square, although it is said to be empty, but there are many people who are already setting off fireworks, but they are all hastily, mechanical fireworks, there is no joy.

This is also understandable, after all, after so many years, you should be tired, right?

At this time, the snow is not heavy, and it will not affect the fireworks, otherwise Shangguan Yi's boasting will really be just bragging.

Jun Yishen's subordinates are very wealthy and directly charter a shop that sells fireworks, and then let the boss pull it here in a carriage to facilitate the use of their adults.

The arrival of Jun Yishen and others obviously attracted attention, I haven't seen anyone set off fireworks for so many years, and if I went further, someone gradually recognized Jun Yishen, but Jun Yishen didn't care, and motioned for Shangguan Yi to start his own performance.

Shangguan Yi smiled, asked Jun Yishen to stand still, took a small pile of fireworks, and made a heart shape around Jun Yishen, with the tip of the tail facing the direction of the palace, and then took the torch and lit all the fireworks at a very fast speed. The fireworks rose one after another in a short time, and in addition to the loud sound, there was a heart-shaped pattern left in the sky, which dissipated after a while.

Jun Yishen was a little confused, he didn't know what the heart represented, and even he didn't know what this pattern was.

After Shangguan Yi whispered an explanation in his ear, Jun Yishen's face was slightly red, and he pointed at Shangguan Yi and wanted to scold, but he couldn't speak, so he could only tremble slightly with his fingertips, trembling with anger.

Shangguan Yi grimaced, looking like a dead pig was not afraid of boiling water, he didn't mind Jun Yishen's feelings at all, and continued to fiddle with the fireworks.

This time, Jun Yishen learned smartly, stood far away, and didn't give Shangguan Yi a chance to trick him.

Merely...... Will Shangguan Yi let him go like this? Obviously not, this time it's three words, Qing Yili.

How smart is Jun Yishen? Qing Yiyin Tong Yiyi, that is, Yi Shen, is his name, Li is the emperor's name, although many people don't know, but he knows, this is to connect the names of the two together.

Jun Yishen had the heart to stop it, but he could only glare at Shangguan Yi weakly, and fiddled with some fireworks by himself, just out of sight and out of mind, anyway, the emperor won't look at this, right?

It took Jun Yishen a long time to complete his work, he is not a master like Shangguan Yi, he is still very afraid of the cold without internal force to protect his body, although there is a subordinate who has handed over the stove to warm his hands, but it is still very cold.

"You, help me out. Jun Yishen pointed at Shangguan Yi and gave a very unceremonious order, which was regarded as revenge. He couldn't do it as easily as Shangguan Yi could light all the fireworks, and if it was slow, it wouldn't have that effect.

Shangguan Yi took the torch very neatly and lit it quickly, so that these four words were presented in the sky: and prosperity.

This is the wish of the prime minister, and it is also the hope of the new year, and this moment is known to the people of Kyoto.

The onlookers at the scene applauded one after another, applauding the adult who cares about the people and worries about the East China Sea, it is such people who can set off fireworks here without worry, not worrying about food, clothing, housing and transportation, and not having to be troubled by the war.

With Jun Yishen taking the lead, people took to the streets, forming fireworks into various shapes in groups to express their prayers.

This is the fireworks display.

The climax of this conference is the eight big characters rising in the direction of the palace: and prosperity, the world is Chang'an. This is the emperor's response, and the deep meaning of it goes without saying, this will be the goal of the development of the East China Sea.

With this response, countless people couldn't help shouting over and over again: "Harmony and prosperity, the world is prosperous." ”

They want to do the same! This world is chaotic, the East China Sea itself is a wave of unsettled and rising waves, and the outside is even more chaotic, and it is impossible to say that one day the war will burn their East China Sea, so they long for such a prosperous era, a prosperous era of peace and prosperity, and a prosperous world of living and working in peace and contentment!!

"Doesn't it look like it's in vain?" Shangguan Yi got carried away and smiled at Jun Yishen, Jun Yishen couldn't hear his voice clearly, but he could understand by looking at his expression that this guy must be boasting, so he smiled helplessly and didn't respond.

The fireworks festival is over in the end, fireworks are limited, no matter how rich you are, although everyone is still unsatisfied, but when the song ends, it will start again, this time it is over, and there will be a next time.
