Chapter 100 Fireworks Festival

Zixiao Temple will hold a fireworks display on New Year's Eve, and the news spreads quickly among the wealthy circles in the north of Chang'an City.

As for why it is a rich area... As I have said before, due to the inconvenient transportation and class gap, few civilians in the south of the city dare to take the risk of walking more than ten miles to the affluent area in the north of the city to offer incense.

For Chang'an people, fireworks are nothing strange.The former Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty liked to set off fireworks very much, and even wrote poems to praise them.

There is one thing to say, it is really beautiful, and many people immediately decided to come and see it that night.

After all, spiritual life is lacking in this era, so there is really no fun.

Watching fireworks is secondary, mainly for fun.

Moreover, it is a rare thing to cancel the curfew in Chang'an City during the holidays. If you don't come out for a stroll, you will be sorry for this opportunity.

People began to arrive one after another that afternoon, and Cheng Huailiang, Qin Yandao, and Yuchi Xunyu even brought their families over early.

Cheng Huailiang's wife is Li Jing, the Princess of Qinghe. She was only ten years old when she got married, and she was only 13 years old at this time, but she was very mature in terms of dress, words and deeds.

She was very polite to Chen Jingke, with a very low posture, and she was very accommodating to Cheng Huailiang—at least in front of outsiders.

No matter how you look at it, they are a pair of enviable young couples.

Not much to say about Qin Yandao's daughter-in-law, Chen Jingke still feels a dull pain in his body when he thinks about it.

Yuchi Xunyu's younger sister, Yuchiyue, is not yet 12 years old this year, and she is born weak and Qianqian with a bit of Lin Daiyu's temperament, not at all like the members of Yuchi's family.

Young and just married, she was a little shy, always hiding behind Qin Yandao.I am very curious about Chen Jingke, and always look at him secretly.

Yuchi Xunyu's daughter-in-law is Xue Xun, the daughter of the governor of Xingzhou, she is thirteen or fourteen years old.I don't know if it's because the family education is too strict or for other reasons, but he seems a little taciturn.

There are four brothers, three are in pairs, and he is the only single dog. Chen Jingke feels very sour in his heart.

So he offered to let the three women play by themselves, and the four men to play with themselves.

Naturally, everyone had no opinion, so they separated.

However, the four of them didn't really play idle, but made the final preparations for the fireworks display to ensure that there would be no problems.

The biggest workload is to hang the lanterns. It is dark at night, and some disharmonious things are easy to happen in the corners.

Chen Jingke had people make thousands of large lanterns, lighting up the entire square and the surrounding corners, providing convenience for all visitors.

On the way of checking around, it was inevitable to chat about their respective lives, Cheng Huailiang inadvertently said: "Brother Xun Yu, does auntie still dislike sister-in-law?"

Chen Jingke was taken aback for a moment, he felt that Xue Xun's brows seemed gloomy just now.

But after all, he was someone else's daughter-in-law and he didn't dare to look at it too much, and the couple didn't seem to have any disharmony, so he didn't think much about it.

Now it seems that there is indeed a conflict in the family. The problem of mother-in-law and daughter-in-law has been a difficult problem since ancient times, and this matter is really difficult.

Yuchi Xunyu should also be very concerned about this matter, shook his head and said: "Forget it, don't mention these unhappy things during the big festival."

Cheng Huailiang also changed the topic helplessly, it is really not easy for outsiders to intervene in this kind of matter.

Chen Jingke secretly kept the matter in his heart, and asked about the situation after this period of time, to see if he could help solve it.

……

Businessmen have always had a keen sense of smell and know where there are business opportunities.

The New Year's Eve fireworks display in Zixiaoguan is undoubtedly the best opportunity to make money, and many vendors have made preparations early.

It's just that many dignitaries are coming today, and the emperor and empress will also bring their children to participate. The security measures are very strict, and not all vendors have the opportunity to enter.

Only those merchants who often set up stalls in Zixiao Temple and have more characteristics can enter.Those who sold needles and brains were all stopped back.

Even so, more than a hundred merchants were put in, and soon they set up their stalls.

These merchants also racked their brains to attract customers, with all kinds of dolls, accessories, palace lanterns, food, and exotic things from other places.

……

The sky is getting darker and darker, and more and more people come to the fireworks show.

The imperial army has already guarded the gates everywhere, and all the people who can come in are dignitaries, officials, scholars and the like, ordinary wealthy businessmen are not qualified.

Even so, the number quickly exceeded 2000 and is still increasing rapidly.

Chen Jingke also met many powerful children under the leadership of Cheng Huailiang and the other three.

"This is the brother of Da Lang Fang Yi of Duke Wei's family, and this is Er Lang Fang Yi's love..."

"Admiration for a long time." Chen Jingke quietly looked at Fang Yiai while paying respects.No way, it's too famous.

"This is brother Li Zhen and Li Jingyang, the eldest son of Duke Cao."

Li Zhen is very unfamiliar to everyone, and everyone is more familiar with his son Xu Jingye, so Chen Jingke can't help but look at him a few more times.

By the way, he took a sneaky look at his wife's belly, it was bulging, and it couldn't be that Xu Jingye was inside.

Soon, a group of children from powerful families gathered around him, and they surrounded him like a star.

The purpose of these people is self-evident, just want to take this opportunity to get acquainted with him.Don't want to be an ally like Cheng Huailiang and the others, at least establish a relationship.

If it was just when he traveled through time, Chen Jingke would definitely show his timidity.It's different now, after such a long period of study and training, he has been able to move freely among the crowd.

When it was almost dusk, Li Shimin and Changsun Wugou brought a large group of people to Zixiao Temple.

Followed by the prince and his wife, Wei Wang and his wife, Li Lizhi and his wife, and important ministers such as Changsun Wuji.

Everyone is wearing casual clothes today, talking and laughing in a very relaxed atmosphere.

This kind of specification naturally requires Sun Simiao to greet him in person, and Chen Jingke can only follow behind as a small follower.

But sometimes he just can't keep a low profile.

For example, now, Princess Jinyang is very excited when she sees him, she stretches out her little hand and said in a childish voice: "Brother, brother, hug..."

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Chen Jingke was very embarrassed.

The eldest grandson Wugou nodded at her with a smile, and said: "Little heartless, if you have an elder brother, you don't want to be a mother. All right, all right, go find your brother."

As he spoke, he took her from the nurse and put her on the ground.

Princess Jinyang ran up in front of Chen Jingke with a 'thumb thump thump', her small arms performed a light wing spread, and said: "Brother, give me a hug."

Chen Jingke touched her nose and hugged her up.

The little girl was very happy that her wish came true, she hugged his neck and giggled non-stop.

The eldest grandson Wugou said a little appreciatively: "Look, you're having fun, let's live with your elder brother from now on, we don't want you anymore."

This scene fell in the eyes of everyone, and naturally there were different interpretations.

But one thing is recognized, in the hearts of His Majesty and Empress, this Chen Xiaozhen has an extraordinary status.

 There will be more.

  The status is being adjusted, and we will work harder in the future. We will wait and see.

  By the way, please subscribe.Beg.

  Thanks to Lima Zhiyao Road, for the reward of senior brother Longevity.
