After Cheng Chumo finished setting off the last firework on hand, he ran to Qin Ming with excitement on his face and said:
"It's so enjoyable. This thing is much prettier than the lanterns."
Cheng Chuliang also said:
"Yes, these fireworks are so beautiful. No wonder the princesses came to ask for them."
"Brother Ming, do you have any leftover fireworks in your house? I want to take a few back so that my mother can see them too."
Hearing this, Qin Ming turned to look at Xiao Changxi beside him and asked:
"Chang Xi, do we have any extra fireworks in our house? If so, bring some over and let the young master take them back."
Xiao Changxi thought for a while and said:
"There are still some in the house, and the maid will have them fetched in a moment."
Cheng Chumo smiled and patted Qin Ming's shoulder and said:
"Good brother, thank you."
After a while
The villain from the Qin Mansion took a bag full of fireworks and came over.
Cheng Chumo was overjoyed when he saw this. He put away the bag and said to Cheng Chuliang:
"Chu Liang, take two of those iron tubes. When we go back in the evening, we can light a few for mother to see."
"okay."
After saying this, Cheng Chuliang walked to the courtyard, picked up two fireworks tubes, and held them in his arms.
Seeing this, Qin Ming asked Cheng Chumo:
"Since Brother Cheng is going back to set off fireworks for aunt, then I will go out to see you off, right?"
Cheng Chumo shook his head when he heard this and said:
"This matter is not urgent. My mother should still be attending the banquet in the palace now. It won't be too late to go back later."
"Our brothers should accompany you to the city to see the lanterns first."
Qin Ming nodded slightly when he heard this and said:
"That's okay too."
After saying this, Qin Ming looked at Xiao Changxi and others and said:
"You guys go clean up, and we'll go out to enjoy the lanterns on the street."
When the girls heard this, their eyes lit up. After all, this was the first time for them to spend the Lantern Festival in Chang'an City.
They had long heard that the night of the Lantern Festival in Chang'an City was the busiest, with not only colorful lanterns but also many singing and dancing performances.
At this time, everyone was very happy when they heard Qin Ming say that he was going out.
Xiao Changxi had also wanted to go out for a long time, and one of the reasons was to visit the night view. More importantly, she was also looking forward to meeting her long-lost relatives on such a lively night.
As for Xiao Qingwan and Yang Zijun, they are girls at heart. They were very happy just when they heard that they were going out.
...
At this time, many people had gathered on the street in front of Qin Mansion.
They were all attracted by Qin Mansion's fireworks.
There are ordinary people among them, as well as nobles and nobles.
As soon as Qin Ming and others left the house, the first thing they saw was pairs of curious eyes.
Among the crowd was a middle-aged man in gorgeous clothes, about thirty years old. When he saw someone coming out of the Qin Mansion, he hesitated for a moment and then came out.
He bowed to Qin Ming and his party and said:
"Xingyang Zheng He, may I ask if you are the master of this place?"
Zheng He? Qin Ming's mouth twitched when he heard the name.
But he still hurriedly returned the salute and said:
"Lantian Qinming is the master of this place."
Zheng He was obviously stunned for a moment when he heard this, then he saluted again and asked:
"But the man from Lantian County your Majesty gave you yesterday?"
Qin Ming was also stunned. He didn't expect that the person in front of him had heard of him.
"How did you know?"
Zheng He smiled and replied:
"A certain person is the left minister of the Ministry of Industry, and he happened to be at the court meeting yesterday. In addition, I was also supervising the construction of the horse iron shoe made by a man in Qin County."
Qin Ming bowed and said:
"It turns out to be Mr. Zheng, Mr. Qin is so polite. May I ask what Mr. Zheng has learned here?"
"Oh, I just heard the sound of thunder coming from my house, and colorful colors appeared in the sky. I was curious, so I came over to ask."
After hearing this, Qin Ming understood why there were so many people standing at the door of the house.
So he quickly smiled and replied:
"I see, those are the fireworks set off in my house, specially to celebrate the Lantern Festival."
Zheng He heard this and said doubtfully:
"fireworks?"
Qin Ming nodded, and then explained the principle of fireworks.
Zheng He heard it in confusion, but he just didn't feel it was serious.
He bowed to Qin Ming and said:
"I didn't expect that the Qin County man is not only astonishingly talented, but also so proficient in the art of observing things. If you have the opportunity in the future, I will definitely come to the house to meet you and ask for advice from the Qin County man."
Qin Ming smiled and nodded when he heard this, and chatted a few more words with the Minister of Industry.
Qin Ming and his party continued to walk towards the square gate.
Different from the daytime, the streets of Xingdaofang were already filled with lanterns of various colors.
Not only were the streets above covered with rows of red lanterns, but various giant lanterns were also specially placed at the entrance of each mansion.
These lanterns come in various styles, including those in the shape of animals or lotus flowers, in different sizes and shapes.
The whole street has become a sea of lights, illuminating the whole street like daylight.
Qin Ming was also shocked to see such a scene for the first time.
Chang'an City is really beautiful tonight. This kind of scenery cannot be compared to the scenery deliberately created in previous TV series.
Everyone was watching the lanterns on the roadside and talking, and soon they left the square gate and came to Zhuque Street.
To the north of Xingdaofang is the Imperial City and to the west is Zhuque Street.
The main reason why I came to Zhuque Street is because this street is the widest street in Chang'an City and has the most and most beautiful lanterns in the whole city.
After all, on this day, many dignitaries in Chang'an City will place their lanterns here for the people of Chang'an to watch.
And every year at midnight, the court would select the most popular lanterns based on people's votes, and then place them in front of the palace for three days.
In addition, the court will also award some rewards to the owners of the lanterns.
This is a great honor for the people of Chang'an.
This has led to the fact that every year before and after the Spring Festival, both Chang'an nobles and wealthy businessmen work hard to make lanterns regardless of money, hoping to become famous in Chang'an in one fell swoop.
Xiao Qingwan seemed particularly happy along the way. The beautiful scenery on the street was something she had never seen before in her life.
"Cousin, look at that lantern over there. It looks so strange. It looks like a monster."
Hearing this, Yang Zijun looked in the direction Xiao Qingwan pointed and saw a strange-looking lantern.
It has big ears, a long nose, and under its huge body are four limbs like pillars.
"This seems to be an animal, but is there really such a big animal in the world? Could it be the imagination of the owner?"
Xiao Qingwan frowned slightly.
Qin Ming on the side heard the conversation between the two and said with a smile:
"That's an elephant, a real animal. The size of this lantern is about the same as an adult elephant. But don't look at the size of this elephant. It is a herbivore."
Xiao Qingwan and Yang Zijun were stunned when they heard this. Xiao Qingwan asked curiously:
"Sir, do you know this one? It's so big that it can't even touch the ground with its lowered head. How can it eat grass?"
At this time, Xiao Changxi, Si She, Mao Tu, and Xiong Daxiong Er also looked at Qin Ming.
Qin Ming smiled at everyone, then pointed at the elephant and said:
"Look at its long nose, can it just touch the ground? It uses its nose to pull weeds and then puts them into its mouth to eat."
When Xiao Qingwan heard this, she looked at her young master with admiration, and little stars almost appeared in her eyes.
When Yang Zijun heard this, his eyes also flashed with light.
