The family is making dumplings lively. Time also flies by.
In the blink of an eye, it's the fourth quarter of the afternoon, and as the New Year's bell rings in Yunzhou City, the next moment!
boom! boom! boom!
The entire Yunzhou City was immersed in a sea of fireworks and crackling firecrackers.
Fireworks took off with sharp whistling sounds and exploded in the night sky. Suddenly, colorful fireworks appeared in the sky, illuminating the originally dark Yunzhou City.
Although gunpowder weapons are not allowed to flow out in Yunzhou County, fireworks and firecrackers, the by-products of gunpowder, have been spread throughout Yunzhou County.
Nowadays, if every household has a happy event, such as moving into a new house, opening a new store, newlyweds getting married, old people celebrating their birthdays, etc., the people of Yunzhou City will go to the government-run fireworks factory in Yunzhou City to buy firecrackers to create a lively atmosphere.
And fireworks have been around for a long time.
And this year, the one with the most beautiful fireworks, the most fireworks, and the most splendid one is undoubtedly Yunzhou County Sheriff’s Mansion.
When the New Year's bell rang, other people in the city stopped setting off fireworks for nearly two quarters of an hour, but the Yunzhou County Sheriff's Office was still setting off all kinds of fireworks, making the entire Yunzhou City They were always shrouded in a sea of fireworks, and countless people watched in a daze.
Among them was Zhao Duan who saw fireworks for the first time.
Looking at the colorful fireworks exploding in the sky, Zhao Duan stared blankly for a while before asking: "What is this?"
Zhao Jun smiled and said: “We call it fireworks.
Yunzhou City now sets off a lot of fireworks on festival nights, and everyone enjoys them together and is happy. "
"very nice."
Zhao Duan nodded with emotion. Zhao Jun looked at his stunned expression and said: "In the future, I will send you a batch of fireworks every year on your birthday and Chinese New Year, so that you can see them in Bianjing." .”
Zhao Duangang wanted to nod, but then he said doubtfully:
“Can’t you buy it in Bianjing?
Since Yunzhou County has such good things, why don't you let Feiyun Trading Company sell them in Bianjing?
I can see that although this thing is only good-looking, it must be very popular among those wealthy people, but it is also a good money-making business. "
Zhao Jun shook his head: "This thing is not for sale to the outside world. Old man, when you want to use it, I will send someone to deliver it to you, but selling it is impossible. This is a prohibited material belonging to Yunzhou County. If you hadn't been my old man, Dad, I won’t even give it to you.
Moreover, it is not easy to transport this thing. Without perfect precautions, it is very dangerous to transport it carelessly. Non-professionals should not do it carelessly. "
"Mysterious."
Hearing what he said, and seeing the solemn expression on Zhao Jun's face, Zhao Duan knew that although he didn't understand, he was afraid that there might be something he didn't know about in the past few years, so he didn't ask any more questions and muttered a word before returning his attention. The fireworks went off in the direction of the Yunzhou County capital.
Zhao Jun also smiled and ignored the topic, greeting everyone and saying:
"Hurry up, it's New Year, hurry up and put the dumplings in the pot, today I will personally cook, let you see my skills in cooking dumplings!
Hahaha, I can tell you that if you want this dumpling to be cooked, it needs to rise and fall at least three times!
The dumplings are not complete without one.
…”
After eating the dumplings, some people were left to keep the lights on throughout the night and the others went to sleep.
It wasn't until daybreak the next day that everyone extinguished the candles in the palace.
I slept late last night, but Zhao Jun got up early this morning.
As the leader of Yunzhou County, as in previous years, all the senior officials in the county came to pay him New Year's greetings, and he had to receive them one by one.
Even if he wanted to sleep in, his old man, who had worked hard all his life, ran to the door of his room and woke him up early in the morning.
While Zhao Jun was washing, the old man was still scolding:
"As a dignified vassal king, how can you be so slack in a day like this? There are so many people in the entire fiefdom, but they all rely on these people to manage them. On weekdays, you can just maintain your majesty as a superior, but during the New Year, you must You have to be friendly with them and be relaxed and relaxed in this way, which is the way to rule your subordinates."
Zhao Jun, who was still sleepy, could only brush his teeth and nodded repeatedly, his face full of tears.
Wang Huai'en stood aside and couldn't help but secretly chuckle at the deflated appearance of his own prince. Cao Shuang also involuntarily raised the corners of his mouth.
Only with the Sixth Prince, His Majesty will be like an ordinary father.
Once he returned to Bianjing City, His Majesty returned to the majestic emperor.
Although it is noble, it is also very tiring, and the burden on the body makes the person breathless. With these relaxing moments, it is no wonder that the longer His Majesty stays, the less he wants to leave.
Under the old man's nagging, Zhao Jun, who felt the love of his parents for the first time since his rebirth, finished washing with "difficulty".
Then came the boring interview procedure.
As in previous years, officials from high to low came to visit one after another and said some blessings. Zhao Jun asked Wang Huaien to give red envelopes and told them some expectations for them in the New Year.
During this period, Zhao Duan was sitting next to him, drinking tea as if nothing had happened, but Zhao Jun could clearly feel that whenever he tried to act awkward or sit in a wrong posture, the father would immediately glare at him.
This forced him to maintain his appearance for the whole morning, and he was not done until he had met with all the senior officials.
The old man just left to have some fun with himself.
Zhao Jun, who had a sore back all morning, not only thought to himself: "It's time to persuade the old man to return to Beijing. If I let him stay any longer, how will I live? I have too much to worry about. I have such a lazy temperament." Unbearable!"
After receiving New Year's greetings from senior officials from various departments on the first day of the Lunar New Year, it does not mean that Zhao Jun's mission for this year's holiday has been completed.
Starting from the second day of junior high school, Zhao Jun would take Ye Yin to the Yunzhou Army's family area to visit the families of the soldiers who died one by one, and give them prepared supplies and gifts.
This continued until the tenth day of the lunar month, and it was finally over.
However, before things stopped, the entire Yunzhou City became lively again on the tenth day of the lunar month, and all walks of life were reopened.
However, there is a particularly important event for Yunzhou County that is also scheduled to be held on the tenth day of the lunar month.
That is the public sacrifice of martyrs.
Since the first name was engraved on the monument to the martyrs, the tenth day of the Lunar New Year has been designated as the day for the Yunzhou County Martyrs’ Public Memorial Ceremony.
Every day on this day, Zhao Jun, the King of Yun, would lead the officials of Yunzhou City and the people of Yunzhou County to the central square to hold sacrifices to the soldiers who died for Yunzhou County.
On this day, even though the New Year had just passed, the entire Yunzhou City did not need to issue an order from the government. Everyone spontaneously stopped all entertainment activities, and everyone gathered in the central square with white cloth strips on their heads to meet Zhao Jun. The Yunzhou Army officers led by him jointly offered sacrifices to the soldiers on the monument of heroes and martyrs!
The ceremony was solemn and heavy.
Everyone does this with the most sincere hearts.
A speechless atmosphere lingered among everyone, as if everyone became one person at this moment, and all their hearts became one heart at this moment.
The cohesion of all classes in Yunzhou County seems to have reached its peak at this moment!
The monument will last forever, and the heroes will live forever!
The green pines stand solemnly to cherish the heroes, and the cold cypresses are evergreen to worship the loyal souls.
