"Cheng Qian? Why are you here?"
That's right, near noon, Li Chengqian came to Yunshan.
"Haha! Xiaoxuan, I came here today to ask for something!"
After entering the main hall, Li Chengqian said with a smile.
Li Zexuan shook his head helplessly and said, "Ha! Chengqian, just say what you want. I can't bear to say this!"
Li Chengqian grinned and said, "Ahem! Xiaoxuan, it's not really a big deal. I just came here to ask you if you plan to set off fireworks in the academy tonight?"
Li Zexuan was stunned for a moment, and then said in amusement: "Haha! Cheng Qian, do you want to take a batch of fireworks back to Chang'an for display?"
If Li Chengqian came all the way here just to ask such a boring question, then he would never believe it. The only possible explanation is that this guy is here to ask for fireworks.
"Uh...haha~! This...to be honest, I want to take advantage of the Lantern Festival to have a fireworks show in the palace this time, so that my father, mother, grandpa, and Changle can be happy!"
Li Chengqian felt embarrassed and said a little embarrassedly.
Seriously speaking, this fireworks display was Li Zexuan's original "patent". It felt a little weird that he came to ask for it at this time.
Li Zexuan didn't care much about this. He smiled slightly and said: "Haha! What else do I think it is? It turns out to be fireworks! Why do you need to come over in person for such a small thing? There will indeed be a show tonight in the academy. It’s a small fireworks display, but there are still extra fireworks in the warehouse, I’ll have them delivered to the palace for you later!”
Compared to New Year's Eve, Li Zexuan had prepared quite a lot of fireworks this time. The day before yesterday, he had someone send an ox-cart of fireworks to Cheng Yaojin. Lao Cheng had booked this a long time ago, so nothing would happen if he didn't give it to him. , still a lot richer, he doesn't plan to sell this thing in the short term, maybe give it to Li Chengqian.
"Haha! Thank you so much!"
Li Chengqian cupped his hands with a smile.
"But Chengqian, you have to pay attention to the safekeeping of the fireworks. All fire sources are strictly prohibited from approaching, otherwise these things will cause great damage! No, I will send a craftsman to help you take care of the fireworks!"
In the important place of the palace, once an explosion or fire occurs, the impact will definitely be very serious. Li Zexuan cannot be cautious!
"Well! That's the best! I will also send some people to watch carefully when the time comes!"
Li Chengqian nodded seriously and responded.
Li Zexuan explained some other things to note. Seeing that it was already noon, Li Zexuan symbolically asked Li Chengqian to have dinner with him. Unexpectedly, Li Chengqian agreed without much hesitation.
It turns out that this guy came here today not only to ask for fireworks, but also to have a meal!
Who makes the food here taste better than the one in the palace?

At five o'clock in the morning, it was getting dark, but the city of Chang'an was full of lights.
Since ancient times, the Lantern Festival has been the last festival of various festivals during the Spring Festival. After this festival, everyone should calm down and do whatever they have to do, so the people also attach great importance to this festival.
Before it gets dark, every house and every private square hangs two lanterns in front of the door. There is no curfew in the east and west cities tonight. The major shops are open as usual, and the streets are lined with lanterns. There were neat rows of lanterns.
There are many types of lanterns, and each has its own characteristics. There are egrets turning flowers, yellow dragons spitting water, golden ducks, silver swallows, floating light caves, Zaixing Pavilion, etc., which are dazzling.
The concentrated display of such beautiful lanterns naturally caused everyone from the emperor to the common people to come out in full force. As soon as the sky darkened, the city suddenly became full of carriages and horses, no one could care about it, and the prince's house immediately began to have fun and show off to each other, including the scribes. Compose a poem to record the event.
After dinner, most of the ordinary people in Chang'an City went out shopping with their families.
Some restaurants and shops took advantage of the situation and launched some promotional activities, which attracted a large number of wealthy people to shop in the store. They all wanted to make a lot of money tonight!
Ahem, in addition to men going out, women are also going out tonight!
According to records, on the night of the Shangyuan Dynasty, in Chang'an City, "the lights were as bright as day, the mountain shed was more than a hundred feet high, and after the dragon, additional decorations were added. All the ladies and gentlemen were traveling at night, and the roads were jammed with cars and horses."
The Lantern Festival is also known as Valentine's Day in ancient China.
The beauties in ancient times were usually very honest, and basically lived a monotonous life of "never leaving the front door, never taking a second step", and they were looked down upon too harshly.
But things are different during the Lantern Festival. Not only can you go out, but you can also go out at night, which makes the ladies very excited.
Therefore, many Tang poems contain verses about beauties playing and looking at the lanterns during the Lantern Festival: "Many beauties on the river bridge", "Going to the fragrant car on the ramp", "Ride in green silk on the southern road, and dressed in red and pink on the east side" and so on.
In this way, the night of Shangyuan will be even more lively. You can see children chasing each other, girls playing, and singles giggling foolishly everywhere in Chang'an City!
………………………
Yunshan Mountain has a very strong festive atmosphere. Although the number of lanterns is definitely not as good as that of Chang'an City, the variety is the same. The entire Yunshan Mountain is decorated and surrounded by lanterns. Looking from the bottom of the mountain to the mountain, it looks like the top of the mountain. It's like a dreamy fairy palace!
"Chu Mo, why don't you go back to Chang'an for the holidays? Maybe you can bump into someone's eldest daughter on the street. If we catch each other's eyes, Uncle Cheng will be very happy~!"
After Li Zexuan came to the brightly lit academy, he met Cheng Chumo, Li Tai, Sun Zifan and others who were fighting bandits on the lawn in front of Guanghua Building. He couldn't help but joke.
There is no way, Cheng Chumo is an older "leftover man" here. If you don't make fun of him, who else can you make fun of?
"Ah? What lady? To the point (A)~!"
Cheng Chumo didn't hear clearly. When he saw that his friend Li Tai had only a pair of kings, he quickly threw out a pair of aces.
"I can't afford it!"
Li Tai replied subconsciously.
Miss!
Yes!
Can't afford it!
Li Zexuan next to him was stunned and almost laughed out loud! Because the unintentional conversation between these two guys reminded him of some modern jokes!
"Ahem~!"
He coughed twice and got rid of the nonsensical thoughts in his mind, and repeated what he had just said to Cheng Chumo.
"Miss? Let's forget it! All the ladies in Chang'an City are unable to lift their shoulders, carry their hands, and are so weak. It's no fun! Fighting bandits is fun! Come on, come on! Three, four, five, six, seven, Shunzi~!”
Cheng Chumo curled his lips, complained, and then continued to join the battle.
