Chapter 109 Opening on New Year's Eve (2)

On the evening of the 29th of the twelfth lunar month, Zhang Hu and his sister stayed in the firework shop.

It was night, the brothers and sisters formed a big circle on Changwu Street and lit the first fireworks in Beijing.

The crowd huddled around to watch the excitement were suddenly scared back by the sound of a cannon, and then they were shocked by the fireworks all over the sky, unable to recover for a long time.

There is also the custom of setting off firecrackers to drive away disasters and welcome the new year in Daxuan Spring Festival, but it is only after the bamboo is burned that it makes a crackling sound.They have never seen such a miraculous flame, so dazzling that it can be compared with the stars in the sky.

This matter naturally alarmed the palace.

Inside the resplendent and resplendent hall, there was a chilling silence. On the golden dragon throne, sat an emperor in his early sixties, dressed in a bright yellow dragon robe, his eyes were like an eagle, looking at the world.

Baili Tianchen, who was reviewing the memorial, did not raise his head, and calmly said: "Just now, what's the noise?" His voice was thick and full of energy.

Eunuch Yuan, who was hanging his head down to one side, took a small step forward, bent his waist and replied in a thin voice: "Return to the emperor, this voice is strange, why don't you let the old slave go and investigate?"

"Go."

"Yes, the old slave obeys the order."

quite a while
Eunuch Yuan, who was the chief eunuch, trotted back and knelt down on the ground: "Your Majesty, this sound came from a firework shop on Wuxuan Avenue. It is said that the shopkeeper lit a firecracker called fireworks. After the loud sound of things, there are fireworks all over the sky, as bright as day."

The emperor rubbed his eyebrows, put down the vermilion pen, and said casually: "Really? It's an interesting thing. Tomorrow, let the palace servants buy some back."

Eunuch Yuan's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly prostrated himself on the ground: "This old servant complies."

At the same time, it is close to the Jiuwang Mansion on Changwu Street.Shangguan Yanran happened to catch a glimpse of the brilliant fireworks, her face was always calm, but she didn't know what was in her mind.

Early in the morning of New Year's Eve, Zhang Hu was startled by the posture outside the door.

A group of officers and soldiers surrounded the three floors inside and three floors outside, and several eunuchs and maids of honor were waiting neatly.When the old eunuch at the front saw him coming out, his face was full of smiles: "Shopkeeper, what a blessing! His Majesty personally called for your fireworks."

Zhang Hu was stunned, unable to speak, did he hear correctly?Is this going to be sold to the emperor?This deal is too big!

"The shopkeeper? But do you understand?"

Zhang Hu clenched his fists tightly and said, "I don't know, how much does this father-in-law want to buy?" His voice was trembling because of nervousness.

"Naturally, you want as much as you have. How can ordinary people get what the emperor wants?" After Yuan Fang finished speaking, he was displeased to see that the shopkeeper was still dragging his feet.

Zhang Hu had concerns in his heart, so he couldn't help but ask, "My father-in-law, won't the small shop be able to sell fireworks in the future?"

When Eunuch Yuan heard this, he chuckled: "Shopkeeper, you are joking. After all, I have never heard of this firework before, and His Majesty finds it interesting. After this rare time, in the future, the shopkeeper will sell it to whom, miscellaneous households will not be able to control."

Eunuch Yuan paused for a moment, and then said: "Since His Majesty personally called for the purchase, there must be no loss of your benefits."

After the palace servants took all the fireworks away, Zhang Hu specially instructed some precautions, and the little eunuch at the side carefully recorded them with a pen.

After Eunuch Yuan and a group of palace people left, Zhang Hu and Zhang Ying stared blankly at the pile of rewards, feeling dizzy with a kind of happiness.

A total of 2000 taels of gold, the plaque bestowed by the emperor—colorful rays of light, a delicate and small golden abacus!All worth a fortune!
