Seeing that Qin Ming was so happy, Li Xianzhi arranged for someone to get fireworks for him, and his mood suddenly improved a lot.
Just when she was about to say something, the servants' exclamations came from outside.
The two of them came out of the front hall when they heard the noise, and then they saw the servants in the yard, all looking at the sky with frightened faces, and some even knelt on the ground and kowtowed.
Seeing this, Qin Ming followed everyone's gaze and saw that a large piece of the sun was missing in the sky. He squinted and knew that this was a rare solar eclipse.
He knew that this was a natural phenomenon and would not harm anyone, so he did not say anything, but squinted at the solar eclipse. After all, this was the first time he had seen a solar eclipse.
The sky also became darker and darker with the solar eclipse. Suddenly Qin Ming felt someone grabbing his arm. When he looked back, he saw Princess Danyang, who was so aggressive just now, but now she seemed to be looking at him. Arrived, something terrible, almost the whole body was shaking.
He turned around and just wanted to say a few words of comfort, but the sky suddenly fell into darkness. Then Qin Ming only heard a cry of surprise, and then his waist was entangled with a pair of legs, and a ball of softness instantly enveloped his face.
People in the courtyard also exclaimed in surprise, and some servants actually hugged each other and cried. Li Xianzhi was really scared. This was the first time she saw the Tengu eating the sun. As she watched the sun being eaten bit by bit, and listened to the terrified cries of the people around her, she felt a little weak all over her body.
She hugged Qin Ming's head tightly and pressed it into her arms. Suddenly a pair of big hands slapped her hips, making her body tremble even more, and then Qin Ming's dull voice came.
"Don't be afraid, the sun will come out soon."
Hearing this, Li Xianzhi timidly raised his head and slid down a little. Then he saw Qin Ming looking at him with a smile. For no reason, Li Xianzhi felt that he was not so scared anymore.
Gradually the sky became brighter and brighter, until it was completely bright. She put her hands around Qin Ming's neck and looked at Qin Ming blankly.
At this moment, the four girls, Xiao Qingwan and Yang Zijun, also hurried into the yard. The four girls were stunned when they saw Princess Danyang hugging Qin Ming like a koala.
Qin Ming happened to see the four women at the door. He glanced at Princess Danyang speechlessly and said:
"It's okay. Please come down, Princess."
After hearing this, Li Xianzhi realized that she was still hanging on Qin Ming, so she quickly let go of Qin Ming and ran into the room with her face turning red instantly.
Seeing this, Yang Zijun gritted his teeth and said:
"It's really shameless to do such a thing in broad daylight."
Maotu echoed:
"Yes, yes, Master, it's true that he wants to be hugged back to the house. It's too immoral to do this in front of everyone."
When the other three women heard this, they all glared at Usagi.
Qin Ming coughed and walked to the four girls and said:
"Are you okay? The princess was just like this because she was frightened. Don't get me wrong. Don't let anyone know about this?"
After hearing this, the four girls looked at Qin Ming doubtfully, and Xiao Qingwan said:
"Sir, it's good that you're fine. Just when we left the yard, the Tengu Eclipse appeared. We were worried that something might happen to you, so we hurried back."
Qin Ming nodded when he heard this, and then said to the servants in the yard:
"It's okay here. You all should step back."
When the servants in the yard heard the words, they stood up one after another to accept the promise, but when they were leaving, Qin Ming heard some of them whispering something about the danger of disaster.
Qin Ming couldn't help but smile, and then Qin Ming said to Yang Zijun:
"Zi Jun, you and Mao Tu take a few people to Zhuangzi to find Chang Xi. At this time, there is a strange phenomenon, so let her return home early."
At this time, Yang Zijun also remembered that his mother was still outside, so he ignored Qin Ming's gossip and hurriedly took Mao Tu out of the yard.
"Wan'er, you and Sishe go get the fireworks. On the way, tell people in the house not to panic. It's fine."
Xiao Qingwan nodded after hearing this and took Sishe out of the yard.
Qin Ming then turned around and entered the front hall. At this time, Princess Danyang was still sitting on the chair with her face flushed.
When she saw Qin Ming coming in, she didn't even raise her head and said in a very small voice:
"Thank you so much just now."
Qin Ming sat down and took a sip of tea:
"Princess, don't worry about trivial matters."
Li Xianzhi thought of Qin Ming's calm appearance just now, as if he knew that the eclipse of the Tengu Sun would pass soon, so he asked curiously:
"How do you know that Tengu won't be able to eat the sun in the end?"
Qin Ming laughed when he heard this. This was the first time he heard such rhetoric, but he soon realized that this was the Tang Dynasty, and astronomy was just a tool used by Taoist priests to deceive the powerful, so he smiled and said:
"Actually, that's not a tengu at all, that's the moon."
Li Xianzhi raised his head when he heard this and asked with confusion:
"How could it be the moon?"
Qin Ming said:
"Why isn't it the moon? Didn't you observe carefully just now? It's obviously the moon that blocks the sun's light bit by bit."
Li Xianzhi asked in disbelief:
"Is this really true? Why hasn't anyone said it, and how do you know?"
Qin Ming thought for a while and said:
"Of course it is. Think about it, it just looked like a black moon, passing in front of the sun little by little. These are what I can see by observing the stars at night."
After hearing this, Li Xianzhi thought about the scene just now, and it seemed that it was exactly the same as what Qin Ming said. So she looked at Qin Ming with admiration and said:
"You are so amazing. You can even read the stars. By the way, can you read the stars and tell fortunes?"
Qin Ming was about to answer when Xiao Qingwan's voice came from the door.
"Sir, the fireworks have been loaded onto the princess's carriage as you ordered."
When Princess Danyang heard this, she immediately jumped out of her chair and said to Qin Ming excitedly:
"Mr. Qin, thank you very much. I still have something to do in the palace, so I will take my leave now."
Qin Ming smiled and said:
"Okay, then I will send the princess out."
With that said, the group of people walked towards the courtyard gate. As soon as they entered the courtyard, they bumped into Li Yuan.
Qin Minggang hurriedly saluted and said:
"Grandpa, why are you in the front yard?"
Li Yuan said angrily:
"You also know that I am your grandfather. Such a big thing happened just now, and you didn't ask me to go to the backyard to see if anything was okay with my old man. It's really unfilial."
Qin Ming said somewhat sarcastically when he heard this:
"My grandson is unfilial. I will go to the backyard to apologize later. You go back to the backyard first and then go there after I see off the guests."
Li Yuan nodded when he heard this and walked towards his yard.
Li Yuan didn't even look at Princess Danyang during the process, and turned back to the backyard.
Princess Danyang looked at Li Yuan's back and was stunned for a while, then turned to look at Qin Ming and said:
"Master Qin, was that your grandfather just now?"
Qin Ming turned back and said doubtfully as he walked towards the door:
"Yeah, what's the problem?"
Princess Danyang shook her head and said:
"Nothing, it just looks familiar, like I've seen it somewhere."
Qin Ming thought for a while and said:
"My maternal grandfather is a branch of the Li family in Longxi. He moved to Taiyuan County in the early years. If you think he looks familiar, you may have seen him somewhere, or you may have relatives who look like my grandfather."
Princess Danyang nodded thoughtfully after hearing this.
After a while, Princess Danyang got on the carriage and went to Chang'an.
