After the meal, Yun Gui came out of the dining room with a swollen belly and complained: "...Second brother, the governor often comes to our house as a guest. Why do you only say such an important thing in front of the house? It's so embarrassing.

My mother-in-law and I both had two dinners, and I was almost exhausted..."

Before he finished speaking, Yun Hui covered his mouth: "Keep your voice down!"

As Yun Hui lowered his voice and spoke, he looked in the direction where Chang Suining, his mother and sister-in-law were leaving. She hadn't gone far yet. People who practice martial arts have good hearing. What if she hears her!

Yun Hui forcibly dragged his brother further away before letting him go.

"No wonder the second brother disappeared early in the morning. It turned out that he secretly went to find the governor Chang!" As soon as Yun Gui's mouth was free, he started to talk: "Second brother, I have never seen you do anything to a girl.

So caring."

"Nonsense, other girls' families have saved your life and mine? Have they saved my mother's life? Have they saved the lives of the people in Hezhou?" Yun Hui said in a matter-of-fact tone: "Her family is different from other girls' families, so naturally they cannot be compared.

.”

"Then second brother must like Mrs. Chang very much, right?"

This question made Yun return to his feet. The glass of wine he drank at the dinner table seemed to have suddenly taken over, causing his face to heat up.

The tone was as normal as possible: "Why are you asking about this at such a young age?"

"What, I'm already thirteen." Yun Gui didn't realize anything was wrong: "Besides, what's wrong with liking Mrs. Chang very much? She is our benefactor, and I also like Mrs. Chang very much!"

Yun Hui: "..."

This is what my co-author brother said I like!

Then he is different from what he likes...

This idea appeared in his mind almost without thinking. The young man's mind was in a trance, and he didn't know how to deal with it for a while.

Yun Gui didn't notice anything strange about his brother, and kept talking as he walked: "...Ms. Chang has arrived just in time. The Qiao Qiao Festival will be in four days. There is a lantern festival planned in the city, so I can invite Mrs. Chang to celebrate the festival with me."

"What are you thinking about?" Yun Hui managed to regain his thoughts and said, "How can she be an idle person like you? She has many important things to do and will leave tomorrow."

"Leaving tomorrow? Why are you in such a hurry?"

"It's extremely rare that she can come to my house for a meal and stay one night despite her busy schedule today." Yun Hui's tone was very precious.

He was very satisfied to be able to see her, ride with her for a while, and sit together for a meal.

Unconsciously, Yun Hui said subconsciously: "If it were anyone else today, it would be impossible to invite her. It can be seen that she considers our Yun family very important in her heart."

When the young man said this, the corners of his mouth could not help but curl up.

Yun Gui's focus was all on another thing: "But, I didn't even have time to have a few words with my benefactor just now!"

"Second brother, Madam Chang finally came here. Don't you want to talk to Madam Chang more?"

Yun Hui did not deny it, only said: "She went to talk to her mother, and my sister-in-law is also there. It's already late at night, how can it be convenient for you and me to follow her?"

Yun Gui: "Then let's think of a way to call Mrs. Chang out and talk!"

Then he volunteered and patted his chest: "Put it on me!"

Yun Gui's idea was to set off fireworks in the garden.

In order to celebrate the Qiqiao Festival with the people, a lot of fireworks were prepared in the governor's mansion. Yun Gui sent someone to bring some over. He chose an open space near the lotus pond in the garden and invited Chang Sui Ning and Mrs. Lou to come and watch.

Nowadays, fireworks have only begun to take shape 89 years ago. Most of them are filled with prepared black powder into paper tubes and ignited with fuses.

In the past eighty-nine years, because fireworks have the meaning of warding off evil spirits and curing diseases in the hearts of the people, they have gradually become something used by the imperial government to celebrate. As a result, there are gradually more patterns and the effect of fireworks has gradually improved.

New things are always particularly attractive. When Chang Sui Ning saw the fireworks for the first time at Dengtai Tower, he was amazed.

Yun Gui led a group of servants to set off fireworks, and then picked up a bunch of firecrackers and threw them in his hands, making it very lively.

Mrs. Lou, who was sitting in the pavilion, smiled and reminded them to be careful not to burn themselves, and said with emotion: "Today is like celebrating the New Year..."

Yun Hui subconsciously looked at Chang Sui Ning who was standing beside him.

It's not a Chinese New Year, it's a Qiao Qiao Festival.

She didn't have time to stay for the festival, so she would move the Qiqiao Festival to today in advance.

Chang Sui Ning raised her head slightly and looked at the scattered fireworks. The bright light spots were reflected in her serious and focused eyes.

Yun Hui felt a little distracted without realizing it.

The next moment, a servant's panicked screams were suddenly heard.

There was a cylinder of gunpowder that might have been dampened. It made a muffled sound after being ignited, exploded, and rolled several times on the ground with sparks.

Yun Gui reacted quickly and kicked the random fireworks tube into the pond.

Huo Xing hurried forward to check the situation and asked if anyone was injured.

Fortunately, the amount of gunpowder filled in these fireworks was not large. Only the hands of the two servants were burned a little by the flying sparks, and the corner of Yun Gui's robe was burned. Otherwise, they were not seriously injured.

"...be careful!" Mrs. Lou warned and coughed twice.

Yun Gui responded and continued to set off the remaining fireworks. This was very common, and small accidents that were not worth mentioning were quickly forgotten.

However, Mrs. Lou's cough became worse and worse. Yun Hui hurriedly asked: "Did mother choke on the smoke?"

Mrs. Lou was seriously injured on the battlefield last year and suffered from frailty.

"It's very smokey here and it's getting late. Madam, why don't you go back and have a rest." Chang Suining, a guest, persuaded.

Normally at this time, Mrs. Lou must have rested long ago. Today is because I am with her.

Mrs. Lou knew that she was in trouble and was not pushy. She nodded with a smile and warned: "We have agreed to eat together tomorrow morning before leaving..."

Chang Suining smiled and nodded with her.

Huo Xing left here with Mrs. Lou.

Chang Suining also put his wrist in front of his lips and coughed.

"Today's fireworks seem to be particularly choking-" Seeing her coughing, Yun Hui quickly suggested and asked, "If you feel uncomfortable, then let's not set off the fireworks, right?"

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "It should be the one that fell into the pond..." As Chang Suining spoke, he walked out of the pavilion and walked towards the pond.

Yun Hui followed quickly.

The closer we got to the pond, the more pungent the choking smell became. The firework tube that was kicked into the pond had lost its flame, but there were bursts of thick smoke rising.

Chang Suining covered his mouth and nose and looked at the thick smoke produced when it hit the water, with a look of thought in his eyes.

"But what's wrong?" Yun Hui asked from the side.

"Can you throw another firework into the water?" Chang Sui Ning said, "I want to see it."

Yun Hui: "...light it and throw it into the water?"

Chang Suining nodded.

Although Yun Hui was puzzled, he immediately asked someone to do it.

After all, the fireworks were set off for her to see, so she could watch them however she wanted.

A firework tube lit the fuse, and when it was about to explode, Yun Hui saw the right opportunity and kicked the firework tube into the pool.

"Bang!"

Fireworks began to explode in mid-air, and silver fireworks sprayed out and fell into the water like stars.

It took time for the gunpowder in the barrel to burn out, and it exploded briefly in the water. The fire light floated sporadically, and thick smoke rose up. The air was filled with the choking smell of gunpowder smoke.

"How? Do you want to throw in a few more?" Yun asked back.

Chang Suining shook his head: "No need."

If we continue to throw it away like this, I'm afraid this garden should be thrown away.

Seeing her staring at the water, Yun Hui tried to ask: "Does it look good?"

"It looks good." Chang Suining nodded seriously. After a moment, he turned his head with a bright smile in his eyes: "Yun Hui, thank you very much."

Yun Hui's cheeks turned red for a moment, but fortunately the night and thick smoke covered him up: "What's this? It's just a firework..."

The next moment, I heard the girl beside me say: "I have been thinking about one thing for the past six months -"

Half a year? He and she haven't seen each other for half a year... Yun Hui was thinking wildly in his mind and listened with bated breath.

Chang Suining continued: "Since the advent of black gunpowder, it has mostly only been used for elixirs...and since I came to the government, it has only been used in wars, but it has been almost limited to rockets to support combustion."

Yun Hui: "...ah?"

He couldn't get his mind back and struggled to absorb the meaning of her words.

"If we only see one use of a thing, most of the time we will default to only this one use. Therefore, it is limited to opening other uses, which is always accidental -" Chang Sui Ning said: "For example

Gunpowder, from Qihuang alchemy to making fireworks... So I wonder, is its use on the battlefield really limited to fueling rockets?"

"Throughout the past thousands of years, things in this land have changed. It can be seen that countless new things have happened in invisible collisions. For example, right now -" She raised her hand and pointed to the smoke above the pool water, with eyes in her eyes.

Showing a look of enlightenment: "So, gunpowder can not only be used to fuel combustion."

Yun Hui looked at the girl beside him in a daze, and he felt that the look between her eyebrows was more dazzling than the fireworks behind him. He couldn't help but ask: "What did you think of through this?"
