Zhang Yang asked Xiang Li Yue, "What did Aunt Wang and the others say when they were washing the dishes?"
Li Yue whispered: "I didn't say anything. I just said that today is New Year's Eve. There is a big banquet in the palace. Many people will go there. It is very lively."
"It doesn't seem to have much to do with us."
Li Yue smiled and said, "Yeah."
The two of them walked under a bell tower, and Zhang Yang took out fireworks one by one.
Li Yue also helped, and she said: "Is this why you have been working hard for a month or two?"
Place Zhangyang fireworks one by one, keep a good distance, and arrange the leads.
These things have wasted a lot of Zhang Yang's hard work. Li Yue also knew that Zhang Yang would often choke and cough because of his busy work every day. Every time he did these things, he was so tired that he could not straighten his back.
This is all the hard work of the husband.
After organizing these things, pull out all the leads and bring them together.
Light a small candle in a sheltered place, tie the fuse to the wick of the candle, and a delayed detonation device is ready.
Looking at the flame of the small candle burning, Zhang Yang said: "Let's go to the bell tower."
"Um."
The couple held hands and walked into the bell tower.
Li Yue was carrying a small lantern. The bell tower was small and the stairs were narrow. The wooden stairs made a squeaking sound when she stepped on them.
Li Yue whispered: "Why did you think of this?"
"Because this is the best place to watch the fireworks."
Walking all the way to the top of the bell tower, there is a platform. Suddenly, your eyes open up. When you look up, you can see the stars in the sky and the vast starry sky.
From a distance, you can see the brightly lit and bustling Chang'an City.
You can even hear the noise of Chang'an City.
Zhang Yang looked down and saw that not far from the bell tower, the fuse was already burning, heading towards the fireworks.
"Wait a minute, be careful not to be scared."
"Um?"
Li Yue looked at Zhang Yang strangely.
Seeing that the fuse had been burned into the interior of the firework, Zhang Yang covered Li Yue's ears and said, "Look up!"
Li Yue raised her head obediently, and there was a muffled sound from the bottom of the bell tower, and another explosion sounded in the night sky, and a huge firework bloomed in the night sky with the explosion.
Li Yue opened her mouth slightly and looked at the scene in front of her in surprise. She was so surprised that she couldn't speak.
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
…
There were a few more muffled sounds, and a few more fireworks shot up into the night sky, and exploded in mid-air.
Blooming like flowers in full bloom in the night sky.
The originally dark night sky suddenly became brighter.
Li Yue's eyes were filled with the beauty of fireworks, and her body was still trembling a little because she was so excited.
Fireworks in the night sky are like a miracle.
Zhang Yang whispered: "Because there are not enough materials, I can only make one color. The fireworks are not very big. If the technology is good enough, I can make them bloom bigger. Now there is only such a small one."
Li Yue threw herself into Zhang Yang's arms and said with a choked tone: "Thank you!"
Zhang Yang touched her forehead and said, "We will watch it every year from now on."
"Um."
Li Yue looked at the fireworks and leaned her face against Zhang Yang's chest, "We watch them every year. I will take good treatment. I want to live. I want to be with you for many, many years."
The fireworks are still going on.
The entire city of Chang'an saw the miracle in the night sky, and people stopped one after another to look at the splendor in the night sky.
People stopped one after another and looked up at the night sky. The noisy couples stopped arguing and the crying children stopped crying.
Everyone's eyes are looking towards the night sky.
At this moment, Chang'an City seemed as if time had stood still.
In the palace, the originally lively banquet also stopped at this moment.
Queen Changsun and Li Shimin looked at the night sky and were speechless for a long time. The scenery in the night sky was so beautiful.
Flowers bloom in the night sky.
Immediately, many messengers knelt down, holding their hands on the ground, and even said: "A miracle, this is a miracle."
"Great Tang Dynasty forever!"
"Great Tang Dynasty forever!"
Someone shouted, and more and more people shouted.
Li Shimin looked at this scene with excitement. There were many people present who had lived for most of their lives. Who had ever seen such a scene?
The fireworks lasted for a while and then stopped.
Until there were no more flowers blooming in the night sky, the Tai Chi Hall was still silent, and no one dared to breathe.
It was Fang Xuanling who spoke first and said, "Your Majesty, these miracles must be auspicious signs."
Li Shimin smiled and nodded, the shock in his heart could not calm down for a long time.
Is this really a miracle?
Li Shimin waved to a eunuch, and then the young eunuch left in a hurry.
Raising his glass again, Li Shimin smiled and said, "Let's all drink together!"
Only then did everyone come back to their senses and raise their glasses.
While drinking, Cheng Yaojin whispered to Yuchi Gong: "Let's talk about this Chang'an City Demon Wind Burst."
Yuchi Gong hesitated and said: "What kind of evil wind are you talking about during the Chinese New Year? It is also the evil wind blowing from your old Cheng family."
Cheng Yaojin sat cross-legged, stroking the beard on his chin, and saw his son in the blink of an eye.
Cheng Chumo was sitting peacefully at first, but when his old man glared at him, he was so frightened that he thought to himself that he had offended the old man, and he would probably be beaten when he got home.
After the fireworks ended, Li Yue was still thinking about the scene just now.
Zhang Yang looked down from the bell tower and saw that a group of officers and soldiers were indeed heading here.
Such a big movement will definitely attract people.
"The officers and soldiers are coming!"
Li Yue also opened his eyes again and looked from under the bell tower.
Zhang Yang took Li Yue's hand and ran all the way down the bell tower, taking a few misfired fireworks with him, simply cleaned up the scene, and left in a hurry.
The two walked into an alley, and officers and soldiers arrived soon.
From the time the fireworks were set off to the end of the fireworks, the officers and soldiers of the Tang Dynasty could kill them in less than a cup of tea.
I have to say that the officers and soldiers of the Tang Dynasty were fast enough.
The two walked through alleys and made sure that the other party was not chasing them, and then rested for a while in this alley.
Seeing each other running away in embarrassment, the two of them smiled in unison.
Seeing Zhang Yang holding several fireworks in his arms, Li Yue said, "They've all stained his clothes. This fabric is so valuable."
The young daughter-in-law wiped the saltpeter and sealing mud on her clothes distressedly.
The ringing of the bell means that it is midnight, which means that this year has passed and it is the fifth year of Zhenguan.
Slowly walked to the front of his house.
The two looked at each other in silence. Li Yue stood up on tiptoes and pecked Zhang Yang on the face, then quickly ran home with a blushing face.
He even closed his own door.
The door closed loudly, and it was closed quite hard. I hope the door is okay.
Zhang Yang checked again that no one was following him.
I walked into my yard, pulled out the fuses of the two fireworks, dismantled the seals, took out the raw materials inside, and destroyed them.
After so many experiments, it turns out that there are still a few that misfire.
Fortunately, tonight went well.
Seeing that the door of Li Yue's room was still closed, Zhang Yang said, "Would you like a midnight snack?"
Zhang Yang added: "If you don't want to eat it, I will make the rice dumplings myself."
Li Yue poked her head out of her room again.
Zhang Yang looked at her.
She blinked and nodded vigorously.
Zhang Yang said: "By the way, let's boil the water."
Li Yue then walked out of the room and said, "I'm here to help you."
Aunt Wang next door saw Her Royal Highness the Princess and Zhang Yang returning safely together, and saw the two of them chatting and laughing while cooking and eating together, and smiled with satisfaction.
Aunt Yang walked into Aunt Wang's home.
Inside the room, Aunt Yang whispered: "The clan has already drawn up the fiefdom decree for Her Royal Highness the Princess."
Aunt Wang whispered: "When will the decree come?"
Glancing out the window, she could still hear Li Yue's laughter. Aunt Yang replied: "I'll be there early tomorrow morning."
"You have to face it." Aunt Wang said discouragedly.
Aunt Yang said in a low voice: "I wish your Highness the Princess was just an ordinary child, without so many worries, and could live a peaceful life."
Aunt Wang's expression became much more serious. If Her Royal Highness the Princess could live happily for the rest of her life, I would be willing to take this life.
Tomorrow the will will come and the princess will come of age.
There was a smile on Aunt Wang's face again, "Your Highness, she finally lived to adulthood."
Aunt Yang nodded, "What a wonderful child. The princess was so pitiful back then, so thin, with a pale and lifeless face."
Aunt Yang choked up a little as she spoke. She wiped away her tears and said, "Her Highness the Princess was still young at that time, only six years old. She was shorter than ordinary children and so thin that you could touch her bones."
"Whose child is like this? Every time I see Her Highness the Princess's dull eyes, my heart feels like a knife stabbing me."
Although they are not parents, the two of them have long regarded the princess as their daughter.
Aunt Wang comforted Aunt Yang and said, "It's fine now. Zhang Yang is taking care of Her Royal Highness. Zhang Yang is a good boy."
Aunt Yang handed over a piece of silk cloth and said, "It is a good thing that Your Highness the Princess can become an adult. We should also be happy."
Aunt Wang nodded and said: "I really hope that Her Highness the Princess can always smile so happily and not let anyone disturb Her Highness."
The two comforted each other.
Aunt Yang said: "Her Highness the Princess looks much better now than before. I don't know where Zhang Yang got his ability to cook delicious food. He has been taking care of Her Highness the Princess's body."
Being able to have Zhang Yang by his side was a blessing for Her Royal Highness. At that time, the princess lived in a deep palace for a long time. Even running a few steps seemed like she had exhausted all her strength. She would run away when she smelled the smell of soup in the dark palace.
After drinking too much decoction, my face turned pale and I vomited it out while drinking it. After vomiting, I only had the strength to breathe. What kind of suffering did I have to endure at such a young age? Thinking of the scene at that time, Aunt Wang was heartbroken.
Although she is not her own daughter, her companionship for so many years is no different from her own daughter.
Who can see their daughter like this?
In the quiet courtyard, Li Yue and Zhang Yang each had a bowl of rice dumplings.
Li Yue saw that she had much more dumplings than Zhang Yang, so she scooped up a spoonful of dumplings and put them into his bowl.
Zhang Yang ate one bite after another, "Remember to burn incense for grandma tomorrow."
"Um."
Li Yue nodded vigorously. Grandma had accompanied Li Yue out of the palace since he was a child. She was a very old palace maid, but she passed away after they got married.
After eating the rice dumplings, Zhang Yang took a bath. It was indeed getting late.
Cold water bathing has benefits, it can exercise blood vessels and improve immunity, but it depends on the body.
In this era when there are no machines and all work relies on human power, working for a living and making money depends entirely on physical strength. Zhang Yang has developed a body of muscles. The muscles are not very strong, but at least they are well-proportioned.
It's already late at night, and it's already midnight.
Zhang Yang changed his clothes and went back to his room to lie down. On the table, two empty bowls of fermented glutinous rice dumplings were placed next to each other. There were large and small spoons in each bowl.
Lying on the bed, sleepiness came over him, and Zhang Yang vaguely saw the door opening again.
I opened my eyes slightly and it was Li Yue again.
She didn't say anything, just walked in and got under the quilt.
Being so sleepy, Zhang Yang let her hold him, and the two of them snuggled up and fell asleep.
Early the next morning, Zhang Yang opened his eyes and glanced at Li Yue, who was sleeping soundly. His wife was still drooling while sleeping.
Seeing that she was still sleeping soundly, Zhang Yang got up and put on his coat.
Li Yue turned over and realized that her hug was empty. She opened her eyes and saw that Zhang Yang had already gotten up.
She sat up from the bed, a little dazed from sleep, her hair was messy, and she scratched her head numbly.
