Chapter 214: The grand fireworks on the night before the wedding
Li Ji and his wife feel that Fang Yuan has a big pattern.
In fact, I feel that Fang Yuan’s approach is very bad.
Generally, candidates who sit idle will not be hired for three to five years.
In the past three to five years, there were three or five more imperial examinations, and more new people joined.
Then a vicious cycle will be formed, and those who have been idle will continue to be idle, with no chance to make a difference.
Even if they have a chance to succeed, they don't know when it will be their turn. The cost of raising them is too high, and the gain outweighs the loss.
There were so many high-ranking officials and nobles in Chang'an City who didn't take them in. It shows that the investment and the return are not directly proportional, so no one did it.
The two felt it was necessary to remind Fang Yuan.
But seeing that Fang Yuan was confidently making arrangements for Zhang Ji and others, it was not easy to disturb them.
The small family banquet ended quickly, and Zhang Ji, Ge You and others returned to their inn.
Li Ji and his wife found Fang Yuan after they left and reminded Fang Yuan of the pros and cons.
But Fang Yuan said he knew it well, thanked them for reminding them, and did not stop the arrangement just now.
Because Fang Yuan has too few talents, not many can be utilized, and now there are another batch in Liaozhou.
And those who are all scholars, almost all of whom have no background, will be left idle, so they will be more comfortable to use.
What's more, Fang Yuan didn't raise them for nothing, but let them work in the Mohist Research Institute or the bank that was about to be established.
It requires relative labor effort.
Time passes slowly.
A month passed like this.
There is only one day left until August 15th.
All the arrangements have been completed today.
From Fang Mansion to Du Mansion, there is a long red carpet.
Fang Yuan and Du Miaoyan haven't seen each other for a month.
There was a custom in the Tang Dynasty that men and women were not allowed to meet each other one month before they got married.
That night, many young men and women in Chang'an City couldn't sleep.
Men can't sleep because the most beautiful woman in Chang'an City is getting married.
The most beautiful woman in Chang'an City is finally getting married.
Du He was also one of those who couldn't sleep, so he brought Qin Huaiyu to Fang Yuan for a drink late at night.
"Drink?"
"No, I still have things to do!"
Fang Yuan waved his hand and refused their request.
He directed Gouzi and other Fang Mansion guards to carry boxes of things onto the carriage.
The five carriages parked at the door have more than fifty square boxes stacked neatly.
"What are you busy with so late?"
"The boxes you are bringing in are not smuggling, are they?"
Du He stared at Fang Yuan warily and said.
It was loading so late and he couldn't see what it was, so he was worried.
After all, tomorrow is the day I marry my sister, so there can’t be any accidents.
"What are you thinking about?"
Fang Yuan glared at Du He and walked out.
Just at this time, Hongxu, Qinggao and others walked out of the backyard.
There are also Juzi, the Xue family siblings, etc., all following Fang Yuan.
"Hey, Fang Yuan, what are you going to do?"
Du He and Qin Huaiyu looked at each other, even more curious.
The wedding will be held tomorrow, what else is uneasy tonight?
"If you want to know, just follow me."
Fang Yuan smiled mysteriously.
Not long after, five carriages were filled with boxes.
Everyone got on the carriage and walked along the red carpet under the bright moonlight.
Du He and Qin Huaiyu watched the carriage go away and quickly shouted to wait for them.
After about a stick of incense, Fang Yuan and others stopped. Not far ahead was the Du Mansion.
After the carriage stopped, Gouzi and other guards unloaded the boxes one by one and placed them neatly on both sides of the red carpet.
"Fang Yuan, what on earth are you going to do?!"
Du He finally caught up and asked breathlessly.
After seeing the Du Mansion in front of them, Du He became even more curious.
"You'll find out soon enough."
"Hongxu, go to Du Mansion and tell her that I have something for Miaoyan, so that Miaoyan can look at the sky."
Fang Yuan still didn't tell Du He and the others.
But called Hongxu, and then she sent a message to Du Miaoyan.
The Du Mansion is in front of her, so there is no need to worry about her safety.
Hong Xu responded immediately and knocked on the door of Du Mansion.
When the guard at the gate learned that it was his uncle's intention, he did not dare to delay and quickly told Du Miaoyan.
Du Miaoyan has already washed herself and is ready to go to bed.
She is also very busy these days, especially in the last few days, she has to adapt to wedding attire and custom rehearsals.
She was surprised when she learned what Fang Yuan meant. Even though she was very tired, she still walked out of the yard and looked at the sky.
The bright moon in the sky, the stars in the sky, and the silence are so familiar and beautiful. Du Miaoyan is curious about what Fang Yuan has given her.
suddenly,
The silent night sky reminded me of a rapid launch sound.
A spark rose and quickly rose into the sky.
With Du Miaoyan's sensitivity, she caught this situation immediately and wondered if this was a gift from Fang Yuan?
"Bang!"
There was a sudden explosion under the starry sky.
The fireworks are brilliant, the fields are shining, dazzling and charming.
Du Miaoyan was startled at first, and then was amazed by the beautiful fireworks.
But fireworks are fleeting and will be extinguished in a moment. Du Miaoyan's astonished heart suddenly felt a trace of regret.
At this time, there was another blast, and another firework bloomed under the starry sky, dazzlingly.
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
There were explosions.
Charming fireworks bloom.
Under the starry sky, with Du Mansion as the center, most of Chang'an City can be heard and seen.
"What happened?!"
Du Ruhui was so frightened that he jumped up from the bed.
I endured my physical discomfort and walked out of the room without reading. I looked up at the sky warily, thinking that something big had happened.
When he saw the dazzling and charming fireworks high in the sky, Du Ruhui was stunned and amazed.
But after all, he had experienced strong winds and waves, so he quickly calmed down and ordered an investigation into the cause.
After learning that it was something given to his daughter by Fang Yuan, I was moved and at the same time a little bit dumbfounded.
After all this trouble, everyone in Chang'an City knew about it, and it gave me a headache.
But after thinking about it, Du Ruhui ignored him. If the guy in the palace doesn't have a headache, then he'll be fine.
In the imperial study room of the palace, Li Shimin has not gone to bed yet. He is waiting for something.
When he saw the fireworks rising and blooming beautifully in the night sky, he was moved.
During the day, Fang Yuan came to the palace to find him and asked him to watch a feast.
Looking at it now, it is indeed a feast, a fireworks feast that I have never seen before.
With it, the nights of the Tang Dynasty will no longer be one color.
Because of Li Shimin’s wishes, Jin Wuwei did not stop him.
The city of Chang'an was shaken.
Everyone was awakened by the explosion and attracted by the fireworks.
People were curious and inquired about the situation, and finally found out that it was a gift from Fang Yuan to Du Miaoyan.
Although they didn't know what they were seeing, they felt romantic from the bottom of their hearts.
In the Du Mansion.
Du Miaoyan looked at the brilliant fireworks in the sky, and her fatigue had long since dissipated.
Her beautiful eyes looked at the brilliant fireworks in the sky, and her heart seemed to be filled with honey.
She couldn't help but jump up to the eaves to look for Fang Yuan, and finally saw Fang Yuan and others.
One month before the wedding, the newlyweds are not allowed to meet each other. This is a custom and a rule.
But when Du Miaoyan looked at her lover, there was only Fang Yuan in her mind, and she no longer cared about any rules.
She jumped up, left Du Mansion, and soon appeared in front of Fang Yuan and others under the bright fireworks.
"Sister?!"
"Why are you here?!"
Du He was the first to discover Du Miaoyan's arrival.
He opened his mouth wide in surprise and rubbed his eyes, thinking he had seen it wrong.
The newlyweds cannot meet each other before they get married, otherwise there will be bad luck and it will be bad for both of them.
"Wonderful face?!"
Fang Yuan was also surprised.
But not as exaggerated as Du He.
He respects customs, but does not taboo them.
Therefore, when I saw Du Miaoyan, I was even more surprised.
Hong Xu Qinggao, sister and brother Xue Jiaoyan, sister and brother Li Danqiu, etc. all looked at Du Miaoyan.
"I..."
Du Miaoyan was suddenly panicked when everyone looked at her.
She had already come to her senses and remembered that she could not meet Fang Yuan.
But now I broke the routine and met Fang Yuan. I didn't know whether to leave or stay.
"Bang, bang, bang..."
The fireworks continue to bloom, reflecting on everyone's faces.
Fang Yuan strode towards Du Miaoyan, held her hand, and looked at her affectionately.
"Do you still like the gift I gave you?"
Fang Yuan said softly.
"Like it!"
"But I broke the rules, what should I do?"
Du Miaoyan nodded heavily, her eyes full of joy.
But he looked a little worried, worried about bringing bad luck to Fang Yuan.
On the contrary, she herself didn't have much to worry about. She was mainly worried about Fang Yuan.
"Rules can be established, and naturally they can be broken. There are no unchanging rules, so we just don't care."
Fang Yuan rubbed Du Miaoyan's beautiful hand and pulled her to the best place to watch the fireworks.
At this time, Du He and Qin Huaiyu came over.
"Sister, do your parents know that you came out secretly?"
Du He pursed his lips and said.
If this wasn't his sister, he would have scolded her.
It is taboo to secretly meet your husband before the wedding.
If the husband's mother-in-law has any objections, the daughter-in-law may be blamed for anything bad that happens in the future.
"Shh, don't tell your parents."
Du Miaoyan looked at Du He with warning eyes.
She and Fang Yuan may not be sensible, but their parents will definitely have opinions.
So we can’t let our parents know, so as to save them from worrying and gossiping.
"But you are like this..."
Du He was still speechless and felt sour in his heart.
The secret meeting with my lover at night was in front of my younger brother.
"It's okay, Du He, just pretend you don't know."
Fang Yuan waved his hand and pulled Du Miaoyan away.
This is a good place to watch fireworks, but it’s not a good place either.
Because you are too close to the scene, it is likely that other people will come over and see Du Miaoyan.
If you see Du Miaoyan and you together, someone may gossip about you, so this is not a good place.
"You..."
Du He pursed his lips and became even more speechless.
But after being glared at by Du Miaoyan, he stopped talking.
Just like that, under the brilliant fireworks set off by Gouzi and others, Fang Yuan and Du Miaoyan left everyone's sight.
As Fang Yuan thought, after he left, many dignitaries sent spies here to check the situation.
Some young ladies were fascinated by the brilliant fireworks and walked here along the direction of the fireworks.
Fang Yuan and Du Miaoyan, who disappeared from everyone's sight, were not far away.
The two of them just chose a quiet location to watch the fireworks.
"Fang Yuan, thank you for your gift, I like it very much."
Du Miaoyan nestled in Fang Yuan's arms and said softly.
She looked at the starry sky with her eyes, looking at the bright fireworks under the starry sky.
In the past, the most beautiful things in the night sky were the stars and the moon.
But now, it is no longer the case, but the fireworks that Fang Yuan sent her.
It is estimated that many people will feel this way.
"Just like it."
"We are getting married tomorrow, are you afraid?"
Fang Yuan nodded slightly and asked softly.
He was also watching the fireworks, watching the long-lost fireworks.
Fireworks had been developed in Liaozhou City and were used as signal bombs at the Song Dynasty Duke's Mansion.
But because he wanted to keep it secret, Fang Yuan never used it again without Li Shimin asking.
Now, Fang Yuan felt that he wanted to celebrate and give Du Miaoyan an unforgettable memory. Starting tonight, it will be played for eight consecutive nights.
"I was afraid before, but I am not afraid now."
Du Miaoyan sighed and said.
Before this, she was looking forward to but also afraid.
But now, when she saw Fang Yuan and the fireworks that Fang Yuan gave her, she was no longer afraid.
Fang Yuan hugged Du Miaoyan's waist and nodded solemnly.
Whether you are afraid or not, it is a normal phenomenon.
Even Fang Yuan was a little flustered, after all, it was his first time getting married.
Facing the two people who are about to become a family, I am both looking forward to and afraid deep in my heart.
Next, the two of them whispered to each other while watching the fireworks. Their affection was deep and their hearts became closer.
Occasionally, there are some affectionate gestures, but we always maintain the final line of defense. After all, the environment does not allow it, and we are getting married tomorrow.
The fireworks continue to bloom, and the people in the entire Chang'an City should already know what is going on tonight.
The fireworks lasted for an entire hour before they finally stopped.
It was still night, but the people in the city were shocked.
People began to envy Du Miaoyan and bless Fang Yuan.
Fang Yuan, on the other hand, sent Du Miaoyan back home after the fireworks subsided.
The entrance of Du Mansion.
The door has been partially opened.
"Fang Yuan, how about I take you back home."
"If you go back like this, I'm worried about your safety."
Du Miaoyan turned around after taking two steps and said worriedly.
She has great martial arts skills, and she used to send Fang Yuan home before returning home.
It was already very late now, and the fireworks attracted the attention of the whole city, so she was worried about Fang Yuan's safety.
"It's okay, Bo Wu is here, it's very safe."
Fang Yuan shook his head and refused.
Not only Xue Bowu is here, but also Li Danqiu and his sister.
There are also Gouzi and other Fangfu guards, so normally there is no danger.
And if there is danger even if they are here, then there is still risk even if Du Miaoyan escorts him back.
"Okay, then go back quickly."
"Tomorrow... I'll wait for you to pick up the bride tomorrow."
Du Miaoyan did not insist.
Finally, with a blushing face, I turned into the gate of Du Mansion.
Fang Yuan looked at the closed door, his smile lingering for a long time.
Finally, after Gouzi and others cleaned up the scene, they returned to Fang Mansion together.
This night, countless people were destined to be unable to sleep, and the fireworks shocked countless people.
The people of Chang'an City are also looking forward to tomorrow's wedding.
At six o'clock the next day, a long wedding team set off at the gate of Fang Mansion.
Fang Yuan wore red clothes, rode on a white horse, and walked along the red carpet to the Du Mansion to welcome the bride!
There were already many people surrounding both sides of the red carpet, and it was very lively.
