Chapter 329 0326 [An unforgettable Mid-Autumn Festival]

The two chatted for a few more words, and Han Zhen smiled and said: "Tonight is the Mid-Autumn Festival, so I won't disturb you to accompany my wife."

"Farewell at the end."

Han Shizhong cupped his hands and turned to look for Liang Hongyu.

At this time, Ma Shuyao also happened to meet Lin Wanqing and Li Qingzhao.

In fact, after moving in, Han Zhen did not restrict Ma Shuyao's freedom. The little girl would go back to her parents' house from time to time to stay with her mother and grandpa.

Seeing Han Zhen coming, Lin Wanqing looked a little unnatural and called in a low voice: "Uncle."

"I met my mother-in-law."

A hint of surprise flashed in Han Zhen's eyes.

Lin Wanqing's dress tonight was different from the previous solemn and elegant ones, but was somewhat similar to Ma Shuyao. She wore a bright and lively light yellow floral skirt, a pure white Sichuan brocade jacket, and a bun on her bun. The playful lotus roots sway with silver steps.

Two light blue ribbons hang down the back of her head along with her long, silky hair.

Now standing together with Ma Shuyao, we look more and more like sisters.

Li Qingzhao said a blessing: "I've met County Magistrate Han."

"Hi, Mrs. Li."

Han Zhen tilted his head slightly and asked curiously: "Why don't you see Brother Defu?"

Li Qingzhao forced a smile and said: "Husband, he has been invited to participate in the poetry meeting."

Han Zhen naturally noticed that she was not in a high mood, so he stopped talking and said no more.

Just at this time, Zhao Fujin said: "Husband, I am a little tired. Let's find a place to rest."

"Alright."

Han Zhen nodded.

After shopping for almost an hour, these little girls were really tired, and the fireworks show was about to start.

Lin Wanqing and Li Qingzhao were also a little tired, so they walked towards Zhuo Tower with them.

Ma Shuyao deliberately lagged behind, tugged at the corner of Han Zhen's clothes, and said in a low voice: "Husband, Aunt Li and Mr. Zhao had a quarrel. They have been staying at Auntie's house these days."

"Haven't the relationship between him and his wife always been very good?"

Han Zhen vaguely remembered that Li Qingzhao's love life was divided into two stages.

The previous stage was the Northern Song Dynasty. She was extremely affectionate with Zhao Mingcheng, playing the piano and the piano in harmony, which can be called a model of free love.

In the second stage, when the Jin people went south and the Northern Song Dynasty fell, problems arose in the relationship between Li Qingzhao and Zhao Mingcheng.

From being inseparable in the past, to finally becoming inseparable and feeling disgusted with each other.

Even when Zhao Mingcheng was talking to Li Qingzhao, he often pointed his halberd finger at her.

Very few people would use the halberd finger because the meaning of humiliation is too strong, let alone between husband and wife. This shows that the relationship between the two has completely broken down.

Ma Shuyao whispered: "Auntie said it was about taking concubines. Mr. Zhao secretly took in two concubines a while ago. He didn't tell Aunt Li about this, so the two had a big quarrel."

To put it bluntly, there are still no children to make trouble.

In this era, if a man is over forty and has no children, let alone the man, the head wife will help arrange concubines, even if the husband is not willing.

Being childless is a very scary thing right now.

In addition to having no one to care for him until his death, he will also be deprived of his family by his relatives.

It would be better if a woman had a strong natal family, but if not, the end would be extremely tragic.

Moreover, the children born in concubines are under the name of the first wife, and you can only call them little mother when you call them your biological mother.

Therefore, the benefits of concubinage outweigh the disadvantages for the head wife. If the man discusses it in a nice voice, the head wife will basically not stop him.

The problem between Li Qingzhao and Zhao Mingcheng was that Zhao Mingcheng secretly took concubines and did not communicate with Li Qingzhao in advance.

This point is very intriguing.

Both of them were in their forties and had no children yet. Logically speaking, Li Qingzhao would have taken the initiative to raise the issue of concubinage without Zhao Mingcheng mentioning it.

As a result, Li Qingzhao did not move, but Zhao Mingcheng secretly took a concubine.

Thinking of this, Han Zhen glanced at Li Qingzhao's back and said softly: "Does Mrs. Li know that Zhao Mingcheng is not good?"

"Hmm~"

Ma Shuyao let out a soft cry, her eyes widened suddenly, and she said with disbelief: "Husband, how do you know?"

Lin Wanqing told her about this, but she never told anyone, including her husband.

After all, this is Aunt Li's private matter, how can she talk nonsense.

"It's not hard to guess."

Han Zhen smiled slightly and explained in a low voice: "If Mrs. Li didn't know that it was Zhao Mingcheng, how could she be angry about him secretly taking a concubine?"

All you need to do is stand in Li Qingzhao's shoes and think about it.

"Husband is really amazing."

Ma Shuyao's eyes were filled with admiration.

When they arrived at Zhuo Tower, the group went straight to the third floor. Han Zhen specially chose the box facing the east of the city.

Entering the box, he asked: "What time is it now?"

The hotel clerk replied: "Regarding the county magistrate, it's almost Xuzheng (eight o'clock)."

Han Zhen ordered: "Open the window, fireworks will be set off soon."

When they heard that fireworks were about to be set off, a group of women showed excitement.

Zhao Fujin said doubtfully: "Husband, we are upstairs and we can't seem to see the fireworks clearly."

Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty liked liveliness very much, so every festival, he would arrange for the prisoner's puppet master to set off fireworks in the city and palace.

As the emperor's concubine, Zhao Fujin has naturally seen many times.

It's just that the fireworks at this moment are only limited to the ground.

For example, fireworks are placed on top of a colorful tree, and when lit, sparks shoot out in all directions, just like a tree of fire and silver flowers.

Han Zhen said slightly mysteriously: "Don't worry, the fireworks I arranged are different. I guarantee you have never seen them before."

Hearing what he said, the expectations in the hearts of the girls became even greater.

Not long after, the waiter came in carrying a fruit plate, pastries, and fruit wine.

"Husband, please drink."

Ma Shuyao first helped Han Zhen pour a glass of wine, and then poured another glass for Zhao Fujin, Lin Wanqing and others. Holding up the wine glass and looking at the noisy and bustling scene on the street outside the window, Han Zhen asked: "Does Mrs. Li have any poems about this situation?"

Hearing this, everyone looked at Li Qingzhao one after another, their eyes full of expectation.

They have been admiring this amazing and talented woman for a long time. It would be an elegant thing to see a good poem that has been passed down through the ages born in front of them.

Li Qingzhao shook his head and said with a wry smile: "Forgive me, county magistrate, but I am not in the mood for poetry tonight."

Because of Zhao Mingcheng's incident, she was in a gloomy mood during this period, and she had a sad poem, but it was obviously not suitable for the atmosphere at this moment.

Han Zhen didn't mind. He waved his hand and said, "It doesn't matter. Good sentences are born in nature, and a good hand can get them accidentally. If you force yourself, you will fall behind."

“Good sentences are created by nature, but come by chance from a skillful hand.”

Lin Wanqing savored these words carefully, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes.

Li Qingzhao also appreciated the artistic conception of this sentence and said in surprise: "I never thought that County Magistrate Han would be so talented. I wonder if he can have such a talent?"

Ok?
  Isn’t this poem from the Song Dynasty?
  Han Zhen was stunned for a moment, but then he came to his senses.

Lu You seems to be born next year, and he is still drinking his own urine in his mother's womb.

Thinking of this, Han Zhen shook his head and said, "I heard this from hearsay, and I have no idea."

He has no interest in copying poems to show off, and with his current status, he doesn't need to do this to show off.

It’s not like someone who clearly didn’t have that ability but still wrote more than [-] poems with a shy face.

Dangdang~
  Suddenly, a sound of gongs sounded in the street.

Han Zhen chuckled and said, "The fireworks will be set off soon."

Hearing this, the girls no longer struggled with poetry, and all opened their eyes and looked out the window.

A moment later, a loud noise came from the east side of the city.

Immediately afterwards, a faint light quickly rose into the sky.

When it rose to a height of tens of meters, it exploded.

boom!
  Accompanied by a loud explosion, a group of extremely gorgeous fireworks bloomed from the night sky.

It's like the sky is full of stars, falling down on the world.

From the perspective of future generations, such fireworks are a bit crude, but for people at this time, they are extremely shocking and amazing.

"Wow!!!"

Sure enough, deafening cheers rang out in the streets and alleys of the county.

"Husband, husband, you are so beautiful!"

Ma Shuyao's hands were shaking with excitement at this moment, and she couldn't help but exclaimed to share the surprise in her heart.

Even Zhao Fujin, the Emperor Zhao Song, was stunned at this moment.

Fireworks can actually fly in the air, and they are so beautiful.

boom!
  Before the fireworks in the sky dispersed, another loud noise came.

boom!
  A second firework exploded.

And unlike the previous fireworks, this one was red.

Zhao Fujin's face was full of surprise. He grabbed Han Zhen's big hand and shook it: "Husband, they are red fireworks."

At this time, the people in the county were completely excited. Even the gamblers in the gambling house couldn't help but come to the street to enjoy the fireworks that they had never seen before.

Bang bang bang!
  Then came the third group, the fourth group...

Lin Wanqing stared blankly at the fireworks blooming in the night sky outside the window, her heart trembling, her eyes involuntarily fell on Han Zhen, slightly lost in thought.

Sensing someone staring at him, Han Zhen turned his head slightly.

Lin Wanqing was startled and quickly looked away. She hurriedly picked up the wine glass and pretended to drink.

It's just that this deceptive behavior further exposed his guilty conscience.

Han Zhen smiled at his mother-in-law, then turned his head again and continued to enjoy the fireworks with the little girls.

"Wan Sheng!!!"

As the fireworks continued to bloom, the county and city were completely plunged into a sea of ​​celebration, and the people spontaneously shouted Wan Sheng.

Among the crowd, Liang Hongyu stared blankly at the gorgeous fireworks and murmured: "It's so beautiful."

"It's really beautiful!"

Han Shizhong nodded, feeling extremely emotional.

In a restaurant, Xie Ding's heart was surging, and he said with excitement: "What a scene of a prosperous age, this scene must be revealed!"

Liu Qi on the side said in disgrace: "What's this? I saw it every day in the military camp a while ago, and it was just average."

Hearing this, Xie Ding glared at him fiercely.

Liu Qi shrank his neck and remained silent.

Xie Ding did it three times in a row, with blurred drunkenness in his eyes, and he said with great pride: "Uncle you risked being spit on by everyone in the world just to see this scene. If the whole world can be like this, I will be in disgrace for thousands of years. how."

……

There were ninety-nine fireworks in total.

For tonight's fireworks show, Han Zhen specially brought [-] field artillery pieces from the general camp and asked puppet masters from the Academy of Engineering to develop fireworks in advance.

It wasn't that Han Zhen was reluctant to give up the money, but that the barrel was too hot and he didn't dare to continue firing.

Although the amount of gunpowder used to launch fireworks is very small, it cannot hold up one shot after another. If the barrel explodes, it will be troublesome.

After it was over, the people still did not disperse, looking up at the night sky and talking excitedly.

This year’s Mid-Autumn Festival will probably be something the people of Yidu County will never forget.

Han Zhen asked with a smile: "Are you satisfied with the Mid-Autumn Festival gifts I gave you and the people in the city?"

"Satisfied and satisfied."

Zhao Fujin and others nodded hurriedly, the joy in their eyes almost overflowing.

Jiang Suyi pulled the corner of his clothes and said coquettishly: "Husband, when will we set off fireworks again?"

Han Zhen mused: "The next time I set off fireworks, I guess I'll have to wait until the New Year."

"It's also good for New Year's Day."

After receiving a satisfactory answer, Jiang Suyi immediately smiled.
