Chapter Seventy-One: The Red Envelope on New Year's Day

Bao Wei and Guo Beyu took Wu Dapeng's name sticker, and also brought a few gifts, and after eating breakfast beautifully, they went to pay New Year's greetings to that Fakati. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

At the moment, the smugglers don't want to come forward to give gifts in person, and it feels a little early.

Bao Wei and Guo Beyu were wearing brand new cotton clothes, and they didn't feel as comfortable as before, as if their current clothes were too wide.

But fortunately, no one peeked at their clothes anymore and smiled, originally, the clothes of overseas merchants were too unusual.

There are not many people on the road now, but they are all people who go around to pay New Year's greetings.

Since many families had a vigil yesterday, no one got up so early.

Their four-wheeled/big donkey cart was running easily on the road.

When entering the Dongqing Gate and arriving at the Caishi Bridge, there is no longer as crowded as before, you can see the confetti of firecrackers all over the ground, and there seems to be a faint smell of gunpowder in the air.

Some of the civil servants of the Great Song Dynasty government have five days off and some have seven days off, and the traders here generally give themselves three days, of course, there are also those who only take one day, or even no holiday, making money is a problem.

In the place where the vegetable vendors used to be, large and small bamboo sheds have now been erected, and some small vendors are sorting out their goods inside, and they are waiting for the city to really wake up from its sleep, and then the whole city will be full of shutting down.

Of course, the two of them won't play this anymore, and if they can't win money, they still have to go to Wicker Lane, where the counters will move all the tables to the street for everyone to have a good time in the next three days.

However, it is still early, at least until after midclock, when the sun is two poles high.

The two said on the road that they should let the main family come out more happily and not always stay at home, so that it would be good for them, and both of them understood it in their hearts.

But the lords are not easy to convince, they don't even like to watch the biggest fireworks in Lin'an City.

Bao Wei once said to the Song family in an extremely yearning tone: "Every New Year's Eve, there are hundreds of fireworks in the open space outside the Phoenix Mountain Palace, and when the official family makes an order, one point at a time, wow, it is really a rare beauty in the world, it is full of fireworks, it will illuminate the night sky, it is beautiful!" ”

Guo Beyu once said to the Song family in an extremely yearning tone: "There are also many wealthy businessmen, who can usually set off fireworks all night, and the firecrackers that are released three times to the sky, hitting the heavenly palace!" ”

After listening calmly, Song Ziqiang gave them a one-word evaluation: Fart!

Song Ziqiang pouted and said, "Your fireworks are all the same, not even a color, what's so beautiful?" Add a little realgar and yellow smoke at most! ”

The two of them were shocked, can fireworks still have color?

Song Ziqiang said proudly: "You, add a little bit of black fire/medicine ** it will emit yellow light, if you add a little copper sulfate will emit blue light, add aluminum powder and aluminum-magnesium alloy, it will emit white light, and strontium nitrate will emit red light...... If you want to make the color of fireworks more gorgeous, you need to make the gunpowder burn more thoroughly, and you need to add more **, magnesium powder, etc.

They decompose when heated and release large amounts of oxygen to support combustion.

After such fireworks are ignited, a violent chemical reaction will immediately occur, and suddenly the volume of gunpowder will swell more than 1,000 times to form a variety of shapes, thousands of shapes, brilliant and colorful. ”

“------”

Both of them were dumbfounded, unable to understand what he was saying!

But are there really colored fireworks ?!

Song Ziqiang raised a finger and whispered: "You two boys, listen, you will follow Master Zhang's family in this life, you will go wherever he tells you to go, and you will do whatever you are told to do!"

Do not doubt it, for his whole family is with you------

You're going to save your life, let alone a broken fire. ”

At that time, Song Ziqiang's face was really serious, and the two of them nodded unconsciously.

Afterwards, Guo Beyu said: "Lao Bao, a certain person found out, but whenever it is said that the Great Song is good, the Song family is not happy------"

Bao Wei said: "Lao Guo, what you said makes sense------ and now you have found out." ”

The two of them sat on the donkey cart, you and I talked one by one, they were like poor students in the classroom, and they could always find a topic to talk about.

As a result, they soon arrived at the door of the Faktihar.

At this time, they saw a green dragon on the wall on the left side of the gate, and they knew that this was called Xingchun; And they put a handful of sesame stalks in the eaves, and they also knew that this was a high knot.

Faktiha was indeed at home now, but he was about to go to Wang Tidian's house to pay New Year's greetings, and he had almost drawn the so-called bogie at home!

The little couple had a meaningful vigil last night, and Fa Keti drew it seriously, and the little wife added fragrance to the red sleeves next to him.

This is a hope, they will not be sleepy at all by the next day, they are young.

He carefully rolled up the drawing paper and was about to go to Wang Tidian's house, but before he could go out, someone came to hand him a name sticker to greet the New Year!

This has never been done before.

He hurriedly let both of them into the house, and everyone said auspicious words together.

His little wife saw the gift again, and happily went to fry the Erchen tea soup again.

When Guo Beyu saw that his family was simple, he had no sense of awe, and the official of the seven grades was nothing more than that!

Everyone talked and was very relaxed.

At this time, Faktisha suddenly said: "I can also drive, why don't I borrow it, go and go back to ------"

Guo Beyu thought to himself, is he going to show off?

I only heard Fa Ke Ti Ha and said, "It's just right for the king to take a look at the real thing------

Bao Wei drank Erchen tea soup, and felt that there was frosting in it, which was a little sweet, and it was really good.

He said happily, "Take it, and come here in the afternoon to get it." ”

Fakotihar was overjoyed and said, "Very good, very good! ”

After the three of them broke up at the door, Guo Beyu complained about his little friend, saying: "Lao Bao, next time others ask for it, don't agree too quickly!" ”

At this time, Bao Wei said thoughtlessly: "Why? It's just a sentence, how can you talk about too fast and too slow? ”

"You see that Master Wu's family has to ponder every time he replies to others, which makes people feel very calm------

"Wow, let's do that when so-and-so is his age!"

After the two teenagers finished speaking, they walked side by side into the depths of the alley of Lin'an City.

They know where they are closed, and they can touch it with their eyes closed.

--------------------------------------------------------------

Now that the whole city is enlarged, the people want to be free, and the Great Song official family living in Phoenix Mountain is working harder.

On New Year's Day, when the sky is not yet bright, and the stars are still surrounding the palace, the bell in the bell tower of the palace rings, and the first thing the Song Dynasty officials do is to burn incense and pray for the common people.

At this time, the gate of the palace was not opened, and all the officials were waiting outside the door.

When the Great Song Dynasty official burns the incense, the shrimp and toad drums are made together, it is already the sixth watch, that is, around 6 o'clock, the palace door is wide open, and the hundred officials enter the palace with a guide who holds a battle, and they are arranged under the hall corridor in turn.

At this time, a eunuch shouted in a sharp voice: "Ban Qimo? ”

The guards on the side replied in unison: "Banqi! ”

This shout is called "Thunder around the Temple".

This is the first shout in the new year, this shout can be described as earth-shattering, echoing in the entire Phoenix Valley, this is to shout a few self-confidence for my Da Song.

What followed was a complicated ceremony, with hundreds of officials congratulating each other, foreign envoys meeting them, and a royal celebration that could not be wronged, which was very complicated and boring, so it was not to mention.

After the ceremony, he said goodbye to his superior, Sun Wang, the secretary of the Ministry of Works, and sat in his sedan chair to go home.

This process is like this year after year, and there is nothing new.

My Great Song Dynasty official family exhorted me in the hall again, to the effect that everyone should closely unite around the "master and minister", that is, Jia Pingzhang and Jia Nidao, and in this new year, carry forward the past and forge ahead into the future, unite as one, and write a new chapter for my Great Song Dynasty!

My Song official family can only say this, I must say this, otherwise, everyone will not be able to play.

The more empty and big the words of my Song Dynasty officials, the easier it is for everyone's officials to do, if the officials come up and say that they hope that the Ministry of Industry will write a new chapter for my Song Dynasty, there is no one in the entire Ministry of Industry who can sleep well.

Last night was New Year's Eve, I didn't sleep well, the sound of firecrackers was too loud, and I was in my forties, so I didn't want to keep the New Year.

In the midst of sleep, He Shilang arrived home in a daze.

He opened the sedan curtain and saw a lot of sedan chairs parked next to the gate, and saw that the level of the sedan chair was all people, and then he came to the spirit.

There is also a four-donkey van, presumably also used to deliver gifts.

But who is this so unsightly? Why is it such a conspicuous way to give gifts?

He smiled in his heart, these are all civilians, not people from officialdom, of course there are people who are unreasonable.

This year, many waterways in the city will be dredged; The city walls, the wharves, and the ponds and stones must also be repaired.

Of course, there are many key projects in our Great Song Dynasty that must be implemented one by one, and this matter still has to be decided with Sun Shangshu.

These projects can be requisitioned from the people, or they can be paid for money------ and those who give gifts are the foremen of all walks of life.

The sedan chair went directly into the main gate, so he would not land and wait for them, he had to meet them one by one, and the saying here was that he had to choose among the people who gave the red envelopes.

After all, he won't accept it alone, there are other people's shares here, Wang Shangshu is the first, he is the second, and there are some important subordinates.

This year's red envelope market is very good, there is a good sign, and the content is getting thicker and thicker.

But I also encountered strange things.,I also handed over a name sticker on one of my hands.,When I looked at the name.,After thinking about it for a long time.,It took me to remember that there seems to be such a person in the manufacturing of the Imperial Armament.,He seemed to have refused the request of the son-in-law of whom, right? could have been released as an official, but he ended up staying here.

Is this kid in a hurry? But next year, it can be released, it has been agreed, and when the time comes, he will help him with a few kind words------

When he met with the Fa Ke Ti of the Imperial Weapons Manufacturing Institute, why bother with the squire who almost crooked his nose in anger, and wanted to kick this kid who didn't know what to do at that time!

On New Year's Day, I didn't say anything about sending a red envelope, but I actually mentioned a four-wheeled donkey cart with a certain one, and what kind of four-wheeled vehicle I haven't seen before?!

Fakti Ha blushed and said, "He Shilang! As soon as this thing comes out, the baggage transportation is not a problem, and the military order can be established under it! ”

What the hell does He Shilang want to laugh, this kid, or a young man, who takes responsibility for himself for no reason------ where does he know how to be an official? I really need to grind it well!
