Chapter 385 Fireworks are Brother Jue’s birthday gift
It's a pity that there are still a few fireworks, but those who can get them, except for people in the palace, are afraid that other nobles will not be able to buy them no matter how much money they have.
If not, after the New Year's Eve vigil, there won't be fireworks flying all over the city in the west and east of the city? Now that I can see it, I am secretly having fun.
This is also Chu Chu’s first time to see fireworks. She remembered that when she was in Taohua Village last year, the children rushed forward when they saw firecrackers being set off. They were not afraid of being exploded, but they also tried their best to step on them just to pick them up. Play with a few silent firecrackers.
The days are so good now, but it’s a pity that brother Jue is not here, otherwise we could have watched such beautiful fireworks with them.
In previous years, the palace would set off some fireworks on the first night of the Lunar New Year. This year, for some unknown reason, nothing was set off quietly, which made the children guarding the palace gate look lonely. Brother Jue definitely didn't see it either.
Will the fireworks be put at the market this year?
But if such a precious thing is to be put away, it should be put away during the Lantern Festival tomorrow, right?
"Fu Bao, are the fireworks nice?"
Jiao Zhongjue jumped out of nowhere, holding a red stick in his hand. He didn't know what it was.
"It's beautiful. Didn't Brother Jue come back tomorrow? Did you also sneak out to watch the fireworks?"
Chu Chu felt that Brother Jue must have known in advance that there would be fireworks tonight and came out specifically to play.
"Brother Jue has to accompany the Twelfth Prince to a banquet in the palace tomorrow, so he came out early. These fireworks are specially set off for your birthday, Fu Bao."
"what!"
Chu Chu's voice was a little disappointed, brother Jue was going to break his promise.
"Brother Jue, the fireworks just now were shot from this red stick!"
Yan Yuge snatched the red stick from brother Jue's hand, put it in front of his eyes and looked left and right. He was very curious, and others gathered around him.
"Yes, this is the only one left that hasn't been set off. It's specially reserved for Fu Bao. Fu Bao comes here and holds it securely. Brother Jue will light it for you."
Fu Bao was naturally happy when he heard it: "Can you still let it go by yourself? That's great."
Just now I was just looking at the fireworks in the sky, not paying attention to how the people below were setting them off.
Worried that Fu Bao would be scared, Jiao Zhongjue held a long firework in his hand, then hugged Fu Bao to his chest, covered her hands with the bottom of the red firework stick, and let the fireworks shoot upward into the sky. The two squatted down.
Zimo came over and lit the fire for them. In an instant, the fireworks flew into the sky quickly, and then exploded in the sky. The gorgeous half of the sky was reflected red, and it was even more brilliant when reflected on the smiling faces of the children. .
But the time of one firework was too short, all the fireworks went out, and the children were still happily reminiscing.
"Brother Jue can't come back tomorrow? You haven't been able to attend Fu Bao's birthday party for two years. It's a pity that Fu Bao still wore your Fu Bao costume for his birthday last year."
Grandma Yan, who was the first to recover, touched Jiao Zhongjue's head lovingly, and he did not move away.
After the New Year, he was already as tall as Grandma Yan, but he grew too fast and his body was still a little thin. His neck looked very long, which looked a little strange.
"It's okay. If you're busy now, you'll have a chance later."
After speaking, Jiao Zhongjue asked the attendant next to him to take out a string of lotus lanterns: "Let's go put out the lanterns together and make a wish. I heard that putting them out the night before the Lantern Festival is more effective."
"How does brother Jue know that we are coming out tonight?"
Jiao Zhongjue touched Fubao's head in a funny way and pointed to Zimo in front of him who was following Chang to distribute lotus lanterns.
"Hey, no wonder you know everything."
Chu Chu was angry but not angry. She took a lotus lantern of her own and pulled Brother Jue to walk to the river together.
After setting off the lotus lanterns with them, Jiao Zhongjue left, saying that it was too late and the palace gate was closed. Chu Chu felt it was a pity.
But thinking about brother Jue making a special trip for her birthday, I felt warm in my heart.

Chu Chu had already moved into Chu Garden since she returned to Beijing, and the family members also moved into the family garden next door. Naturally, there was no longer any separation into different houses.
For the sixth birthday of his two children, Li Yan had already discussed with the old lady and Grandma Yan to make the banquet bigger, and invited relatives from the capital, as well as aristocratic families and good friends.
The children even called all their familiar friends over. There were six or seven boys in total, and there were four or five more girls. Each of them gave small gifts to Chu Chu and Juanjuan.
After noon, the backyard started to get noisy.
There was still some time before the feast, so Li Yan simply asked them to lead their friends to play in their own courtyards, so as not to cause trouble outside.
The maids and women were busy shuttling between the corridors and halls.
Some are placing banquet utensils, some are checking the drinks and dishes, and some are adjusting the layout.
The layout of the front hall is even more unique. In the center of the hall, rectangular mahogany banquet tables were neatly placed. The tables were covered with brocade tablecloths and filled with all kinds of delicacies.
On the golden candlestick, the candle was burning brightly, emitting a soft light, illuminating the entire hall with splendor.
There are paintings with auspicious meanings hanging on the surrounding walls, some of which were painted by children.
The red ribbon was fluttering in the wind. Li Yan asked the maids to put it on specially, changing the seriousness and dullness before.
Even the promenade by the lotus pond in the backyard is decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations. There were already many brand-new lanterns hung during the New Year, but now there are many more colorful ribbons and more flowers.
The entire Duke Shunguo's mansion was filled with a cheerful atmosphere, as if even the air was filled with a festive flavor.
The busy figures of the maids and women and the careful decoration of the house all show that the master attaches great importance to his two daughters.
Spring has come early this year, and the flowers have already bloomed in the garden. The peach blossoms are already in full bloom.
Beside the promenade beside the lotus pond, two or three rows of peach blossoms swayed gently in the breeze. The petals were as soft as silk, and the pink color seemed like a girl's cheeks.
Warm sunlight shines through the treetops and onto the peach blossoms, forming mottled light and shadow.
The floral fragrance is fresh and elegant, making people feel relaxed and happy.
At this moment, everything is revived and the earth is full of life.
The wind was bright and sunny, there was a gentle breeze, and there was no chill at all. Li Yan directly set up a few tables for the children in the corridor in the middle of the lotus garden.
The two sides were also placed all the way to the pavilion in the middle of the lotus pond, where the main table in the backyard was placed.
There are many potted plants on both sides of the corridor, mostly crabapples this season.
Begonia flowers are like a burning flame, warm and unrestrained.
The petals are as soft as silk, brightly colored, stacked in layers, surrounded by yellow stamens, and emit a faint fragrance.
