The family of six, and some servants and maids in the mansion who couldn't go home for the New Year were also crowded in the back hall to stay in the New Year, playing poker, playing checkers, fighting landlords, and the bustling place was like a vegetable market.

The old man smiled and looked like the old man, the local owner won again, Uncle Shen, Uncle Ming and other old men from the Fang Mansion were dejected and struggled to the death.

This young master is having a five-person checkerboard battle with two close maids and older brother and sister-in-law. My mother is holding the third child and gossiping with the housekeeper's wife Aunt Liu.

Count the copper coins in front of me, yes, I've given it a lot, I can't help it. The main reason is that I can't concentrate. If we win alone, I'm afraid no one will be our opponent. I divided the remaining copper coins into two parts, Green Butterfly, and the palace maid and sister: "You guys continue, brother, I'll sit down and my whole body is stiff."

"Yeah, brother Jun, don't go far away. I'm afraid it will be midnight later." The eldest brother didn't raise his head, his face was full of joy, and there was much more copper on the table than at the beginning.

I opened the curtain and walked out of the crowded back hall. A bone-seeming chill made me feel cold. Yes, it's big.

The snow at my feet made a slight sound, and the clear crescent moon was shining with the stars in the blue gray-black sky.

Looking at the crescent moon swaying gently among the treetops, like the palace lantern with dark patterns floating. This moon is afraid that the day the earth will disappear.

Suddenly I felt like crying. How long has it been since I traveled to this era and I could not bring anything. Some, maybe only the longing for the parents who had passed away, and a trace of things that could not be said to be comfort or joy. There is really a god in this world? Let me travel through time to prove to me that the world is mysterious, and the parents who have passed away may live well in another historical space at this moment, and I am very happy.

"Young Master, Second Young Master, why are you here?" A crisp low voice was not far behind him.

"Oh, Die'er, I just stroll around casually." Hey, the palace maid sister followed him, too?

"Why are you both coming out? It's very cold outside, go back soon."

"Young Master, this is your fur. Sister Zhao'er saw that you didn't wear it when you went out, so we'll come out to find you." Green Butterfly's eyes that were brighter than the stars blinked gently.

The eyes subconsciously moved to the palace maid's sister. What she gave me back was a nearly comforting smile. Did she see that I was not in a good mood now? Looking at them, my heart suddenly felt very warm, yes, and even a hot feeling filled my heart.

"Young Master will take you to set off firecrackers." He pulled one with one hand and held these two warm little hands towards the gate of the courtyard.

"Young Master"

"What's the matter?"

"What is firecrackers?" Green Butterfly's voice stopped me and turned around to look at two eyes. The two beauties' expressions were confused.

"It's just a piece of paper wrapped in a fire, and then there is a wire outside. You haven't seen it before for the New Year to exorcise evil spirits?" It's so amazing, no firecrackers? Didn't it mean that it had it long ago? Didn't it have a fire in the Tang Dynasty?

"There are some fires." The palace maid said, "That is used for fireworks. The fireworks on the Shangyuan Festival are made of this thing. However, the fireworks are set off from the explosive rods, which are not as firecrackers as you mentioned by the young master."

"Oh, okay, whatever he calls it, it's all done." Damn, fireworks, aren't fireworks just fireworks? There are fireworks, but there are no fireworks. It's a big failure in the Chinese New Year in the Tang Dynasty. I sighed regretfully. Setting off firecrackers and watching people set off firecrackers. When I was a child, I often went to other people's doors to pick up firecrackers, and secretly went to find the walls of the red brick house to scrape the salt firecrackers. Only then can I understand what it means to make a firecracker. Now, after seeing the servants filling in saltpeter with fine stems of bamboo to make a blasting rod, I understand what it means to blast the rod. I can't believe how loud the bamboo sounds. I'm afraid I can't even wake up from my sleep.

Seeing my regretful expression, Green Butterfly pulled my sleeve: "Young Master, are the firecrackers you mentioned different from this thing?" Green Butterfly opened his mouth, causing all the servants who were making explosive rods to focus their attention on me. Fang Cheng threw down the cured explosive rod in his hand and squeezed in front of me: "Second Master, what is firecrackers? Is it sound?"

"The sound is like thunder."

"Really or false?" Fang Cheng was skeptical of my master's words. It was outrageous. I wrongly accused me of treating you as a loyal servant.

"Of course, when did we really tell lies?" The girl Ludie really wanted to kiss her two people, which was so heartless.

"Of course I believe in the young master. His Highness King Jin said that the young master could take out the fire from the water and the king would tell the young master himself." Fang Cheng also quickly declared. Looking at a servant with two eyes with two glowing eyes, yes, he felt a sense of accomplishment: "Yeah, I will make a shock to the sky, which will surprise you. Then, don't hide your ears and escape." This young master stood among the servants and made a bold statement.

Sure enough, early in the morning, watching the servants stuffing a blasting rod into the fire on the street at the door, the sound of the blasting rod is not much greater than that of my master's sneeze. I shook my head in disappointment. Fang Cheng seemed very disappointed, and was eager to hear the fresh things that I described as thunderous, and kept wandering in front of me: "Young Master's firecrackers and firecrackers."

"Okay, okay, can you sell it?" Waving your hand impatiently.

"Yes, yes, there is Qingyang Palace over there, and there is a white-bearded old Taoist priest who sets fireworks as soon as the New Year is over." Fang Cheng pointed his head very quickly.

"Then go and weigh one or two pounds and come quickly." Glazed at Fang Cheng, the loyal servant responded excitedly, and rushed out of the mansion with a group of idle servants.

"Sell me some sulfur, and some bamboo charcoal. If there is a little cigarette butt, I won't be able to do tricks."

"Jun'er, what's this for?" My mother was a little surprised.

"They like to listen to the news without a house. I asked them to get some materials and make some firecrackers to set off."

"Oh" My mother thought the name of firecrackers was novel, but she didn't care. Soon, Fang Cheng and his group appeared on the street outside the mansion with a package. It seemed that they were so happy that they could live this year.

As soon as Fang Cheng opened the package, a strange smell made me sneeze. The fire was so splattered that the loyal servant was covered in dust.

"What's wrong with the young master?" Fang Cheng wiped the ashes from his face sadly.

"Is this called fire yao?" I raised my fingers and pointed at the gray foam wrapped in strange colors, and my face turned a little blue.

"Yes, the old Taoist priest of Qingyang Palace also specially added cinnabar." Another servant interrupted quickly.

"Ah!" He quickly jumped back two steps. Buddha, it seems that the old Taoist priest in Qingyang Palace was probably using this thing as a pill to refine it. He was very worried about the old guy, and he could live to such an old age. Could it be that this guy has strong immunity to mercury poisoning and arsenic? He has practiced to the point where he is invincible with all poisons?—
