Liu Yifu's face also became ugly.

But because he and Mrs. Zhang were not together, I wanted to dissuade him but I didn't know how to give a hint.

Liu Yizhen turned back to Mrs. Zhang and said, "Don't worry, Aunt Zhang, she is absolutely stunning."

This small episode did not affect the progress of the entire birthday banquet. The other brothers and sisters all came to wish Mrs. Xiao a happy birthday.

Mrs. Xiao couldn't help but smile from ear to ear when she saw so many descendants.

Perhaps only the elderly can understand this kind of happiness that comes from having children and grandchildren.

Because Liu Yu has many children, and Xiao's care for her young grandchildren, it took half an hour for the birthday celebration to be considered a success.

At this time, the sky had also darkened. Liu Yizhen left his seat and bowed to salute: "Grandma, my grandson's gift can only be delivered now. I wonder if grandma would like to come to the middle of the courtyard to watch it?"

"Cheshi!"

At this time, Liu Yu didn't know what kind of medicine Liu Yizhen was selling in the gourd, and was a little angry at Liu Yizhen's behavior of torturing Xiao.

Mrs. Xiao happily came out to smooth things over: "Look at me, slave, you think my mother can't walk with just two steps?"

After saying that, Mrs. Xiao stood up with crutches and walked shakily towards the center of the courtyard.

Upon seeing this, Liu Yu quickly picked up a large animal skin cloak and protected Xiao.

Mrs. Xiao came to the courtyard and grabbed Liu Yizhen's hand: "Master Che, show grandma what it is."

Liu Yizhen showed a confident smile, pointed to the sky and said: "The gift is in heaven!"

Everyone in the courtyard instantly raised their heads and looked at the starry sky.

at the same time……

"Is this thing reliable?"

"Don't worry! This is under the guidance of Duke Chang'an. I did it myself. There is absolutely no problem!"

Wang Maide and Gao Yun were playing with dozens of five-foot-tall wooden frames with strange shapes in front of the street away from Xiao's courtyard.

"Chang'an Gong said that this thing is called "pole fire". Once it is lit, it will change endlessly and become colorful. Just take a good look at it."

"It's almost time."

After that, Gao Yun used a torch to light the "fire bucket" on the wooden frame.

"Lights up!"

In Xiao's courtyard, Xiao Fuyang was the first to notice that the sky suddenly became gorgeous.

As everyone was stunned, patches of sky were lit up by "pole fires".

It is obviously night, but at this moment it is as bright as day.

Liu Yizhen looked at the fireworks emitting such colors and was filled with emotion.

"Since time travel, I am the only one who does not use gunpowder to fight but sets off fireworks."

This kind of "fireworks" is naturally not the modern fireworks that can be launched into the air and explode later.

It is the "pole fire" of ancient China, and it is also the only low-altitude firework art that has been passed down to later generations.

The pole fire mainly uses iron rods, bamboo strips and other materials to make a frame, which can also be called a fire bucket. The bottom frame supporting the fire bucket is a wooden pole. Metal powder and gunpowder that can cause flame reaction are placed on the fire bucket.

Decorate with colored paper.

Once the fire bucket is lit, the gunpowder inside burns, and combined with the flame reaction and the color of the colored paper, it will create a beautiful visual feast.

In this era where gunpowder technology is still backward, the impact of rod fire is completely indescribable.

Not only everyone in Xiao's courtyard was stunned, but even the nearby residents were awakened by the movement of the pole fire and ran out of their homes to watch the fireworks on the street.

"Is this auspiciousness?"

"Why is the divine light overflowing? Could it be that some immortal god has come?"

"That seems to be Mrs. Xiao's yard?"

"What? I remember today is Mrs. Xiao's birthday. Could it be that even the gods came down to earth to wish Mrs. Xiao a birthday?"

"Isn't it possible?"

At this moment, Gao Yunzhong commanded the middle poles in an orderly manner.

"Watch over there! Control it!"

"Turn it up a little here, yes, yes, stop!"

"Watch it! Don't burn it!"

"Wang Sibing, don't look at me! Come and help!"

With a bang, the fireworks on the four poles in the middle actually burned into four big characters.

"life."

"Compare."

"South."

"Mountain."

"It's really an immortal who came down to earth to wish Mrs. Xiao a happy birthday!"

For a time, all people in Jiankang felt very proud of this "miracle".

Although Mrs. Xiao didn't know the words, she knew what it meant after being reminded by Liu Yu. She was so shocked that she was speechless.

"Cheshi."

Just when everyone else was in shock at the fireworks, Liu Yifu unexpectedly touched Liu Yizhen's side.

"Brother."

Liu Yifu walked up to Liu Yizhen and stood side by side, with the color of the sky in his pupils.

"How is this done?"

"I'll tell you after my grandma's birthday party."

Liu Yizhen treated the other person in his own way, which made Liu Yifu laugh dumbly.

Still has the temper of a child.

"No, I'll explain it to you now."

"Actually Zhang Shao..."

"I have heard my father say all this."

Liu Yizhen stared at Liu Yifu: "I want to know now why you gave up that position."

"Do you know how many people since ancient times have wanted to reach that position and become a supreme being?"

Liu Yifu joked: "The bread here does not include you?"

"certainly."

Now that the words have been spoken, there is no need for Liu Yizhen to hide his ambitions.

"That's it."

"You want it, but I don't want it."

"That position is not that easy to do."

"Can……"

"Okay, second brother, are you so mother-in-law now?"

Liu Yifu looked at the shrinking fireworks outside, a little lost in thought: "There are always other scenery in this world worth seeing for my brother."

He stretched out his hand, as if he wanted to touch the light and shadow, and seemed to want to walk into the sky himself.

Liu Yizhen looked at Liu Yifu, seemingly unable to express a thousand words.

"Will you regret it?"

This is Liu Yizhen’s last question.

The corners of Liu Yifu's lips raised: "Anyway, people regret all the time. Today they regret yesterday, and tomorrow they regret today."

"It's better to be free and easy, leave it behind completely, and go to the front."

After hearing this, Liu Yizhen no longer asked, but followed Liu Yifu's gaze and looked at the fireworks.

"Cheshi."

"Um?"

"Do you think these fireworks will go out?"

"Naturally, fireworks easily get cold."

Liu Yifu held Liu Yizhen's hand: "But there are always things in this world that cannot be extinguished, right?"

"Oh."

Liu Yizhen, for a rare moment of arrogance, did not answer.

The two brothers just stood at the front and watched the fireworks gradually extinguish.

Liu Yu, who was behind him, had already turned his attention from the fireworks in the sky to the two of them.

Looking at the two brothers, Liu Yu squatted down and smiled stupidly.

"Jinnu, do you look good?"

Mrs. Xiao happily asked Liu Yu on the side, asking him to continue watching the brilliant fireworks.

Liu Yu nodded and whispered in Madam Xiao's ear: "Mom, it looks good. I have never seen such a beautiful scene in my life."

Fireworks get cold easily, but some things never go out.
