This martial artist just wants to be an official

on the way home.

Ji Gong's words still echoed in Lu Yuanzhi's ears.

"Go back and rest for three days. After three days, go to the Yamen to listen to the announcement."

It's finally a holiday.

It was just the three-day holiday that left him speechless.

Others have consecutive New Year holidays starting from six days.

How come it's been three days since I and my subordinates...

After arranging his subordinates, Lu Yuanzhi left the Yamen without stopping.

It’s okay not to wait for these yamen that exploit the people.

Lu Yuanzhi left the Yamen and rode to his house.

Seeing the county uncle's mansion plaque that had been replaced by the court, he nodded with satisfaction and walked in.

As soon as I walked in, I saw the concierge whom I hadn't seen for a long time.

"The master is back!!"

Seeing Lu Yuanzhi's figure, the concierge's face was filled with surprise and he quickly stepped forward to greet him.

Looking at the surprised smile of the concierge, a sense of belonging to home slowly brewed in Lu Yuanzhi's heart.

"Has anything important happened in the mansion these days?"

Lu Yuanzhi handed the horse rein in his hand to the concierge expressionlessly.

The porter took the reins of the horse with a smile, gently stroked the horse's head and said:

"Replying to the master, someone from the government came to you the day before yesterday. They said that you had made great achievements in the Taoist competition. They gave you a promotion. Not only did they change the plaque at the entrance of the house, they also rewarded you with some gold and some servants and maids."

"Oh……"

Hearing this, Lu Yuanzhi nodded, and the two of them had already arrived in the inner courtyard while talking.

"These subsequent servants, maids, and Miss Chunhua have also been arranged."

"Yes." Lu Yuanzhi nodded lightly, and he slowly glanced around.

There were many maids in maid clothes busying around in the inner courtyard. They were all new faces that I had never seen before. I guess they were all rewards from the court.

The two figures walked into the inner hall, and the figure of Chunhua from far away greeted them.

"Welcome back, Master."

Chunhua's clothes are a bit bright, different from other maids.

"Ah."

Lu Yuanzhi nodded, looking at the well-organized mansion managed by Chunhua, he smiled and said:
"I'm not in the house these days, so it's hard work for spring flowers."

Amid the rippling blue waves of spring flowers, she looked slightly shy and lowered her head, saying:

"This is what a slave should do."

Seeing this, the concierge also knew that he should retire. He bowed to Lu Yuanzhi before leaving, and took the horse to the stables in the mansion.

Lu Yuanzhi raised his head and glanced at Chunhua's pretty face, with a slight smile on his lips and said:

"Does the government still have enough money?"

Before Lu Yuanzhi left, he put some money in the mansion's warehouse, and only Chunhua had the key.

"Of course it's enough. The government rewarded me with some gold a few days ago. It's all in the warehouse now. Master, you might as well go take a look with your slaves so that you can have an idea."

Chunhua looked at Lu Yuanzhi seriously, the respect on her face not retreating at all.

She has never been proud of Lu Yuanzhi's favor just because he favored her.

"Well, you might as well go and have a look."

Lu Yuanzhi nodded happily and followed Chunhua to the warehouse.

After arriving at the warehouse, he secretly counted the amount of money. It was no less than before he left, and it was even more. He looked at Chunhua with surprise in his eyes and asked:

"In addition to the rewards from the government, why do you feel that you have more money than before I left?"

Chunhua pursed her lips, knelt down to Lu Yuanzhi, knocked her head on the ground and said:
"This slave made her own decisions, please ask the director to punish you."

Seeing this, Lu Yuanzhi frowned and asked in a cold voice:

"What's going on? Stand up and say."

Chunhua stood up slowly, lowered her head and did not dare to look into Lu Yuanzhi's eyes, and said slowly:

"After the master went to Jianzhou, several people came to our house. Since the master was not at home, the servant took it upon himself to meet them. After learning that they were farmers under the master's fief, he opened the warehouse without authorization and collected the grain they handed over. …”

"But there were too many people turning in the food, and so much food could not be piled up in the palace, so the slaves exchanged some of the food for silver and put it in the warehouse."

Hearing Chunhua's explanation, Lu Yuanzhi's eyes flashed with realization.

He had forgotten that he still had a fiefdom after being knighted.

The farmers in the fields need to pay grain to themselves.

"You did a good job in this."

Lu Yuanzhi nodded, looked at Chunhua expressionlessly and said:
"But if something like this happens again, it would be better for you to write to me and let me know in advance."

After hearing what Lu Yuanzhi said, Chunhua gritted her teeth and knelt on the ground:
"Master please punish me."

Lu Yuanzhi waved his hand:
"Let's leave it for now. It's getting late and I haven't had dinner yet."

"Slave, please go to the kitchen to order food."

After hearing Lu Yuanzhi's words, Chunhua quickly stood up and hurried towards the kitchen.

…………

In the evening, after pampering the spring flowers, Lu Yuanzhi fell asleep hastily.

The next day, he got up and left the house.

Although my journey is faster than that of Kewusi and Qinghe Academy, I think they are all back today.

Because today is Dayong’s welcoming day.

As soon as I arrived on the street, I saw countless vendors who had gotten up early in the morning and were shouting on the street.

The vendors and performers who came from out of town also started their new day's performances on the streets.

Listen to the lively sounds of dancers dancing dragons around you.

A dazed look flashed in Lu Yuanzhi's eyes.

The excitement of welcoming the new year is even worse than the Spring Festival in previous lives.

Amid the excitement, a long line of people walked slowly towards the lively street.

Seeing the logo on the carriage in the long queue, a smile appeared on Lu Yuanzhi's face.

It is the logo of Qinghe Academy and Kewu Division.

Lu Yuanzhi did not hesitate, he came to the carriage with a smile: "Brother Song, I have been waiting here for a long time!"

In Kewusi's carriage, the curtain was lifted by Song Yu. He looked at Lu Yuanzhi who was smiling outside the carriage, and a smile appeared on his face:

"If I don't go to reunite with my uncle on the New Year's Day, what will I do?"

Lu Yuanzhi chuckled:
"I need you to do me a favor."

"Come up and tell me."

"..."

After Lu Yuan got on the carriage, the carriage slowly started again and walked towards the direction of Kewu Division.

After arriving at Kewu Division, Lu Yuanzhi and Song Yu got off the carriage.

The expressions of the two are different.

Song Yu looked at Lu Yuanzhi with a gossipy expression.

Lu Yuanzhi had a wry smile on his face.

"You asked me to make fireworks like that, you have to tell me why, right?"

Song Yu ignored the questions from other disciples of Kewusi and followed Lu Yuanzhi with a look of gossip on his face.

Lu Yuanzhi's mouth twitched:
"I shouldn't have told you."

"If you don't say it, you just don't treat me as a brother!"

"Okay, okay, let's go in and talk!"

"..."

After the group arrived at Kewusi, Song Yu led Lu Yuanzhi towards his bedchamber without stopping.

"Tell me first if these fireworks are easy to make?"

Lu Yuanzhi, who was sitting opposite Song Yu, looked at Song Yu sideways.

"hehe!"

Song Yu sneered:
"Don't you know who I am? I think my reputation, Song Yu, is resounding throughout the capital, but you still dare to doubt me!"

"But I'm asking too much! I need the font to be formed after the fireworks explode!" Lu Yuanzhi looked serious.

"That's too simple! As the father of fireworks, I, Song Yu, can make it for you no matter what words you want!"

Song Yu dismissed Lu Yuanzhi's words.

"Not only do they need to form fonts, but they also need to not disperse immediately after they explode, but have to solidify in the air for a while."

"It's simple. It's just a matter of changing the material."

Song Yu didn't care. He looked at Lu Yuanzhi and raised the corner of his mouth and asked:
"Just say which word is needed."

When Lu Yuanzhi heard this, a smile appeared on his face and he said:

"Sure enough, Brother Song is reliable. I don't need much, just a poem."

Song Yu:?
Under Song Yu's dull gaze, Lu Yuanzhi read out the poem.

"This should be okay? It's only a few dozen words."

Lu Yuanzhi looked at Song Yu nervously.

"Um……"

Song Yu pondered for a while, and then looked at Lu Yuanzhi very seriously:
"Who is that! Junior brother, see the guests off!"

As he said that, he was about to walk out.

Seeing Song Yu was about to leave, Lu Yuanzhi quickly stepped forward to stop him:

"You have to help me, brother! If you don't help me, I will really..."

After hearing Lu Yuanzhi's words, Song Yu turned to look at him and said:

"I still want to take a shower. I'll be dazzled when we welcome the new year in the evening. It only takes two hours to make such a firework. How can I have time to take a shower?"

Lu Yuanzhi was silent for a while, and then he spoke:

"Since Brother Song doesn't have time, forget it. Alas, I have the Jingqin Sword in my hand. I don't even know who to give it to."

With that said, Lu Yuanzhi took out the Jingqin Sword in his hand from his scripture space, sighed and turned around to leave.

"Brother Lu!"

Song Yu appeared in front of Lu Yuanzhi with a righteous look on his face.

"what?"

Lu Yuanzhi looked at Song Yu with a confused expression.

"Good brother, in my heart, my brother is busy, how dare I not help?"

After saying this, Song Yu said seriously:

"Don't worry, this firework will definitely let you see it clearly at night!"

The corners of Lu Yuanzhi's mouth curled up slightly:
"Then let's wait for the good news from Brother Song."

…………

In fact, after Song Yu gave him the firecracker last time, Lu Yuanzhi had been thinking about how to repay Song Yu. After all, it could be regarded as a life-saving grace.

This Jingqin Sword was won in the Dao Sect Competition, and it was of no use to the person who wielded it.

This favor should be returned.

……

night.

The embankment of Qinglong Street.

It is already overcrowded.

Countless common people and noble men and women gathered here.

Today is the annual orientation night.

It is also the busiest day in Dayong.

At the embankment of Qinglong Street, the gods from the legendary Kewusi will also release various fireworks for people to watch.

However, most of these aristocratic children are drunkards who don't care about drinking. They care more about today's traditions.

For example, if you meet a single aristocrat of the opposite sex, you can generously ask your servant to invite him.

If you agree, we can enjoy the fireworks together...

This is why there are so many people visiting the Qinglong Street embankment every year.

In a corner that is not very conspicuous.

Princess Changle came dressed up and stood there.

Next to her was a palace maid dressed as a maid. After rejecting an invitation from a certain noble boy for an unknown number of times, the maid's expression turned into a bitter one.

"Ms....Ms., that person shouldn't have come back yet, right? Otherwise, it would have been by this time."

A trace of trance flashed in Chang Le's dreamy eyes, she bit her lip gently and said:
"hold on."

"The fireworks will start soon~"

The maid's face became even more bitter.

Changle took a deep breath and looked at the starry night sky with confusion:
"The team from Peiyin Lang Yamen who went to the official business came back yesterday... Since he is back, he will come."

"Miss~"

Looking at Chang Le's melancholy face, the maid sighed.

As Changle's personal palace maid, how could she not notice that something was wrong with the princess these days?

Only after she talked a lot did she realize that the princess might have been secretly promised to a certain bad guy...

A woman knows a woman well, how could she not know the impact that a girl's stunning talent and beauty bring to her at the age when she first develops love?
【Maybe he has forgotten it? 】

These extremely shocking words were buried deep in the maid's heart and she did not dare to say them out.

She was afraid that she would make the princess unhappy by saying it.

If the princess is not happy, then the entire Qiyun Palace will not be happy either...

While the two continued to wait, a huge bright light flashed directly above the river embankment.

Then there was an explosion like thunder:
"Chirp!!"

"Bang!!"

Beautiful fireworks bloom in the sky.

Attracted everyone's attention.

"What a nice view……"

Countless people watched with fascination the beautiful fireworks exploding in the sky.

"Miss, this has already been the first ring..."

The palace maid pursed her lips, not daring to speak too much for fear of provoking the princess's temper.

Chang Le's extremely beautiful eyes were full of disappointment. She looked at the fireworks blooming in the sky. Even though they were extremely beautiful, her heart was filled with disappointment.

"Maybe he has forgotten me..."

Bitter emotions spread in Changle's heart, like an old tree with countless vines, swallowing up the positive emotions in her heart bit by bit.

While she was immersed in the feeling of loss, she suddenly heard the exclamations of people not far away.

"Can the little fairy from the Kewu Department make such fireworks?!!"

At the same time, the maid's exclamation also reached his ears:

"Miss, look! I have never seen fireworks like this!!"

When Chang Le heard this, he smiled bitterly in his heart. It doesn't matter how beautiful the fireworks are...

She endured the unparalleled loss in her heart and reluctantly looked up.

At one glance, her pupils suddenly shrank, and her mouth opened in shock.

It turned out that the beautiful fireworks that exploded in the sky did not dissipate immediately.

Instead, a few lines of text, like fireworks, slowly appeared and lingered for a long time.

"Red beans grow in the south, and when spring comes, they will sprout a few branches."

"May you be rich in treasures. This is the thing I miss the most."

That little poem that had appeared countless times in the dream was suddenly turned into fireworks...

"Where is this place? Huh? Why can't I find the girl I want to date??"

At the same time, a mean voice sounded from Chang Le's ears.

I heard the familiar voice that I thought about all day and night.

Changle's heart suddenly tightened.

When she turned to look at the source of the sound, a few tears quietly hung on her pretty face.

Lu Yuanzhi was dressed in white, holding a lantern in the shape of a jingle cat in his hand, and slowly came to Chang Le's side with a friendly and gentle smile on his face.
