Kingdom of Heaven and Han

Lin Shengyuan specially changed into a new suit, hung a few pieces of fine jade around his waist, and hung a new pocket watch on his coat. With two attendants, he rode in a four-wheeled carriage and arrived at the fireworks show early.Not many people were seen, so I stood at the head of Huitong Bridge and watched the scenery for a long time.

Only when more and more people came, did Shi Shiran walk to his seat.Along the way, non-officials and officials in Luoyang City greeted each other.After Lin Shengyuan answered, he proudly told the people around him that this is the father-in-law of the Xuanfu envoy, and his status is very important.

Walking to the seat in the first row, Lin Shengyuan rolled up his sleeves and sat down.Looking left and right, the spirit is flying.

The seats in this area are reserved for only a few officials in Luoyang City, and it is absolutely impossible for them to sit on them unless they have a lot of money.Of course, they all paid for the fireworks tonight.

Lin Shengyuan's seat is the first in the first row, which is particularly conspicuous, and it is obvious that he has a prominent status.

The seat was arranged by Gao Ying.What Wang Xiaolie said was right, Gao Ying was very thoughtful and would not forget to arrange a seat for Lin Shengyuan.Since he has no official status, he stays with these outsiders.Although he didn't donate money, but sitting in the first place, others have nothing to say.

Seeing that Lin Shengyuan had greeted someone, the building staff of the Yuxian Building next to him said, "It's really a blessing for me to be with the officials today."

Lin Shengyuan cupped his hands and said, "Same, same!"

The building staff member pointed to the pocket watch Lin Shengyuan was hanging on, and said, "I heard that a watch factory recently released a pocket watch, which is hard to find outside. Brother Lin is wearing a new pocket watch, right? I don't know where to buy it." of?"

Lin Shengyuan took off the watch and showed it to the building staff.He said: "This pendant watch is the best one produced by the watch factory. Where can I buy it? It was bought by my daughter and specially given to me. It is a treasure!"

The building member held it in his hand, looked at it over and over again, and praised it repeatedly.

Xuanfu Division produces luxury goods factories, and most of the goods produced are in short supply.It is often sold among the people only after senior officials have bought them.Like the pendant watch worn by Lin Shengyuan, it is inlaid with a ruby, which is extremely exquisite and cannot be bought by the folks anyway.There is always a way, or you can only get it after someone sells it, and it often costs a lot of money.

With Lin Xi's status, of course there is nothing she can't buy.On Lin Shengyuan, there were many such strange gadgets.

At this moment, with the sound of a gong, Wang Xiaolie took the officials to their seats.They sit on the top, and the position is also good, which is not comparable to others.

Lin Shengyuan enviously said: "If you can sit on it, that would be the best."

The building staff said: "Officials, the upper seats look majestic, but they are actually very inconvenient. Look at those officials, sitting upright, for fear of losing their appearance. They have to wait for a while, after the fireworks start, before they can move around freely."

Lin Shengyuan looked at the officials for a while, then sighed, "Oh, everyone has their own difficulties."

Wang Xiaolie has strict requirements on the demeanor of officials in formal occasions, and it is really uncomfortable to sit on it.But sitting on the top is indeed majestic.

Following Wang Xiaolie's entry, Lin Xi quietly entered the arena with his family members, and sat under the officials, facing Lin Shengyuan and the others.Lin Shengyuan looked at his daughter in front of the women's family, with a solemn expression, and his old heart was relieved.It is worth it to have this daughter, so what else is there to care about?

Li Qingzhao was alone, standing under the willow tree, watching the surging crowd.

Tonight can be regarded as the whole city mobilized, and the people who could not go to the stage crowded both sides of the Huitong Bridge below.Many people also climbed onto the tree, stretched their heads on it, and looked at the scenery under the tree.

Looking at the surging crowd, Li Qingzhao felt a little lonely.Luoyang is good in every way, that is, restricting employment and housing, as if everyone is a small family.

The moon climbed to the center of the sky, shedding a cool brilliance.In the moonlight, there was a child darting among the crowd, carrying a basket of mulberries and selling them.Many people covet the sweet and sour taste of mulberries, but the corners of their mouths turn red and black.

At this moment, a horn sounded suddenly in front of him.Following the horn, approaching the Luo River ahead, a spark shot up from the ground and went straight into the air.When it reached mid-air, it exploded suddenly, and the gorgeous sparks sprayed all around, like a celestial girl scattering flowers.

With the opening of this one firework, all kinds of fireworks are launched into the sky one after another.I saw that sometimes the sky is soaring, and sometimes the sky is full of hype, which is brilliant.

Li Qingzhao had never seen such a scene before, standing under the willow tree, he was almost bewildered.

In the fireworks, half of the sky is illuminated as bright as day.The place where the fireworks were set off was filled with smoke, and the air smelled of gunpowder.

Setting off fireworks several times a year is an advertisement for the fireworks factory.After all, this thing has not been around for a long time, and it is difficult to become popular without promotion.Fireworks shows are held several times a year by the government, which not only makes the festival lively, but also gives the opportunity to have fun with the people.

In fact, for each fireworks show, the main contributors are rich families from all over the country, and the government spends very little money.Rich households spent money at this time, not only building a good relationship with the government, but also earning enough face, and they were happy to do so.

The large-scale fireworks show ended in more than a quarter of an hour, followed by fireworks for various businesses and brands.Some of them are gorgeous, some are lively, and each is wonderful.Although it is not as large-scale as the official performance, it also makes the night sky colorful.

Soon after the official performance, Wang Xiaolie left with the officials.Only the female relatives and non-members were left on the stage, and they were busy greeting each other and connecting with each other.

Lin Shengyuan sat there, and from time to time, outsiders came to greet Lin Shengyuan.Although Lin Shengyuan's cotton cloth business is not particularly large, but his status is special, and everyone wants to have something to do with him.Lin Shengyuan sat upright, quite respectful of his status.

Li Qingzhao came out from under the willow tree, bought a bowl of Lengtao and ate it, and walked slowly by the Luo River.

The night in Luoyang is very lively, and there are street vendors selling all kinds of snacks on the roadside.The cries of selling came one after another, and peddlers carrying baskets shuttled through the crowd.On the shore of Luoshui in the distance, some merchant started setting off fireworks to light up the sky.

Li Qingzhao walked among the bustling crowd, with no one he knew or familiar things around him, so he couldn't help but feel deserted.This feeling was very bad, and Li Qingzhao didn't like it.Since she was a child, she likes to be lively, and likes to get together with a group of people. When has she tasted this kind of feeling?

Since the Jin army went south during the Jingkang period, the past few years have been displaced, and I have seen the ups and downs of life.The marriage with Zhang Ruwei last year hit Li Qingzhao particularly hard.I thought I found the support of my old age, but unexpectedly, I met a wolf in human skin.

Looking back suddenly, I saw a crescent moon hanging in the sky, shining quietly on the world.The moonlight is bright and clear, without a trace of variegation.

Although Luoyang flowers are good, is it my home?
