Looking at the happy and indulgent men in the garden, the ladies under the eaves exchanged glances with each other. It seemed that everyone was controlling their inner emotions and did not want to show expressions that were inconsistent with their status.
After all, in this era, Xia Shang is the only one who is unique. He can abandon the composure of the head of the family without any scruples, and do his best to integrate into the present like a child.
No, to be precise, he should be a teenager.
He is still the young man who first entered Dahua.
The so-called "I wish you could run away for half your life and come back as a young man" should probably be like this, right?
The young man under the fireworks is extraordinarily handsome, and his laughter at this moment shows a temperament that no man in the world has ever had. Just watching it is a joy for every girl.
The women under the eaves finally showed relaxed and casual smiles. They did not enter the garden, but stood under the eaves and watched, but their hearts flew to Xia Shang, and they surrounded Xia Shang tightly.
The atmosphere gradually became lively, Xiaoyue circled around the man and woman standing in the center, screaming happily, as happy as a tit that had just learned to fly.
"Didn't you just say it doesn't look good? Why are you so excited now?"
"These are my own fireworks, my master's. They are naturally beautiful, and they are the most beautiful things in the world. No one else can compare with them."
"Fireworks?" Qin Huairou frowned slightly beside Xia Shang and asked, "What are fireworks? Why do those people talk about soaring into the sky..."
"Soaring to the sky on the 17th!"
The craftsman in front lit a new firework and called out a somewhat old-fashioned name.
Xia Shang was impatient and stepped forward to interrupt: "This is not some soaring sky, this is fireworks! It's fireworks! This is
The skillful craftsmanship is outstanding, and the burning lamp is the same as the day.
The ground is white with flying debris, and all the steps are red.
Brilliant like a falling star, noisy like a burning fire.
The flowers will bloom in the night after, and you won’t have to worry about facing the east wind.”
Bang!
There was another shocking loud noise, and another gorgeous firework exploded above the head. The brilliant brilliance illuminated the heaven and earth, instantly freezing the short-lived and eternal beauty. The momentary youth blooming in the black sky looked very much like the man on the ground.
I will try my best to preserve the brilliance of these women.
Gradually, the sky darkened, and the fireworks above gradually lost their luster, leaving only the flying catkins floating down.
Falling smoke.
Xia Shang turned around: "What's wrong? Why do you have to stop? Fireworks get cold easily and the morning glory fades. I want this world to stay at the most beautiful moment forever. Don't stop, keep setting off!"
Xia Shang didn't notice that the four craftsmen who had been focusing on setting off fireworks had tears in their eyes after listening to the poem just now.
This was a compliment they had never enjoyed in their lives. For the first time, the craftsmen who had always been looked down upon felt recognized.
Influenced by the Xia and Shang Dynasties, they regained their spirits and lit up the fireworks again.
"rush……"
"What the hell!" Xia Shang turned around and cursed, "Shut up, I'll introduce you!"
"Bang!"
There was a loud thunder, and the sky became gorgeous again.
"This is a scene of brilliant purples and reds, the fiery trees and silver flowers are eye-catching, and the spring breeze blows from the sky."
…
"This is an instant of youth, time is worth an inch of gold, but an inch of gold cannot buy an inch of time."
…
"This is the blue sea and the sky..."
"Master, where does the sea come from?"
"Close your eyes and feel the smell of fireworks with your heart. Amidst the noise, your mind is calm, and the sky is blue."
…
This is a noisy night, an unprecedented New Year's Eve. It's the fourth watch, and every house in the capital has never been as bright as tonight.
The common people were not sure at the beginning and were cursing and being shocked and fascinated. No one knew when they were attracted by the fireworks all over the sky and forgot that they were together.
This fireworks show lasted for a long time, until the bustle came to an end and everything returned to calm, the first sun of the new year gradually tore through the clouds and illuminated the heaven and earth.
The snow stopped, and for a long time all the fireworks were flying. Looking at the increasingly clear sky, there was no trace of last night's carnival.
The Xia family finally became quiet. Everyone returned to their rooms to sleep. The big bed hidden in the deep courtyard was finally useless.
…
Xia Shang slept deeply, but he didn't sleep for long.
An hour later, just after Chen hour, an official came from the Ministry of Household Affairs, saying that someone from the palace had come, and he urgently summoned the head of the treasury to come to court to discuss matters.
This news is a bit sudden and a bit strange. What can a small treasury official do?
Who are you qualified to go to Jinluan Palace?
But since it was an urgent call, there was something that needed him to go there temporarily.
For other officials, the opportunity to go to court to discuss matters is something they would never get in eight lifetimes.
But Xia Shang didn't care about it, and even rejected it.
Rejection is rejection, but you still have to go when you have to.
With no other choice, Xia Shang could only get on the carriage of the household department, feeling tired and sleepy.
Today is the first day of the Lunar New Year. According to tradition, there will be no going to court. Both the emperor and the civil and military officials of the dynasty have their own families. This Chinese New Year is a time for everyone to get together. Morning court matters can be done every day, so there is no need to squeeze it into this day.
conduct.
Departing from Xiafu, we went to the Hubu Gate and boarded a palace sedan at the Hubu Gate.
The people in this palace are replaced more often than in Xia Mansion. Xia Shang has been to the palace many times. What he saw today was another new face, a father-in-law who could not guess his grade.
If you say he is twenty, he will be twenty, if you say he is forty, he will be forty. Anyway, he is the kind of person who is extremely feminine, and it doesn't feel very coordinated.
The father-in-law who took the lead had no intention of looking at each other with Xia Shang. When he saw Xia Shang, he immediately sent people to the palace, and the exchange was very hurried.
Although he was sitting in a carriage, the coachman's whip crackled and the horse ran wildly, bumping along the way indescribably.
Xia Shang was very sleepy and wanted to sit in the car for a while, but he couldn't calm down at all.
"On the first day of the Lunar New Year, why is there an early morning meeting?" Xia Shang asked outside the car as he was fine.
"On the day of the prince's wedding, according to the ceremony, today he will go to the palace to pay homage to all the empresses. Moreover, today is the time for the Japanese delegation to leave. They must first enter the palace to report, and then the ministers will send them away from the capital. Since the ministers all have to enter the palace, we simply
Go to court early as usual."
"So that's it..." Xia Shang nodded, "Does father-in-law know what it means to recruit me into the palace?"
"Me?" When the father-in-law heard Xia Shang's self-proclaimed title, he shook his head mockingly and thought to himself, no wonder he is a small boss. He speaks so casually, how can he get on the stage? When he arrived at the Jinluan Palace later, I'm afraid he said something wrong.
Lost your head?
After thinking about it, the father-in-law responded casually: "Your Excellency is from the National Treasury, so it is natural to discuss matters related to the National Treasury. It is better for you not to ask about many things. When you get to the palace, everything will be clear to you freely."
