The crowd of people playing in the square also noticed the movement, and knowing that the fireworks were about to start, they gathered around. People upstairs heard the movement and prepared to go to the windows to watch.
It's just that the windows, which were originally relatively spacious, really couldn't fit in these many people, and many people could only stand behind and stare blankly.
Changsun Wugou noticed this situation and said to the ladies: "Let these men stand upstairs while we women go downstairs and take a closer look."
Naturally, all the ladies had the same idea and got up one after another and followed him.
Li Chengqian also took the opportunity to ask for permission and said: "We juniors are getting in the way upstairs, so why don't we go down together too."
Li Shimin nodded and said: "Go and take good care of your mother."
Li Chengqian said: "Here."
A group of juniors were also very happy. They were really constrained upstairs and couldn't feel as free as in the square downstairs.
Immediately, he got up and followed Changsun Wugou and others, walking downstairs in a huff.
The situation on the second and first floors was similar. Most people had gone out, and only a few people stood at the windows and looked out.
Chen Jingke followed Changsun Wugou with little Sizi in his arms. The little girl had long been tired of staying upstairs. Now she came downstairs and was so excited that she wanted to see everything.
She kept shouting about going here and there, but Chen Jingke ignored them all. She was not annoyed and immediately changed her goals and went there and here.
The younger one pointed his finger, while the older one nodded perfunctorily while walking on his own. The two of them cooperated so well that it was as if they were talking to each other.
When they were halfway there, Changsun Wugou said to Li Chengqian and others: "You can go and play by yourself, you don't have to follow us."
Li Chengqian said hesitantly: "This..."
Changsun Wugou knew his concerns and said with a smile: "We are not old enough to need your care yet, so go ahead."
Other ladies also spoke out to ask them to leave.
Now a group of juniors completely let go of the sheep and dispersed in small groups.
Chen Jingke also wanted to follow everyone, but Xiao Sizi was still with him, and the mother-in-law Changsun Wugou had no intention of taking over, so he could only follow a group of noble ladies.
If he had been two or three years older and had better physical strength, he would have run away with the little girl in his arms, but now he was helpless, mainly because he was afraid of something happening along the way.
Anyway, he just wanted to watch the fireworks, so it didn't matter where he went, just follow him.
The Queen came to the square to watch the fireworks in person, and the news spread quickly. But fortunately, none of the people who came in today were rich or noble, and no one was an ordinary person.
Although everyone wanted to come over and have condoms or something like that, they also knew that the situation was inappropriate and they only dared to watch from a distance.
Changsun Wugou didn't put on any airs and smiled at everyone kindly.
All the way to the center of the square, the place was already crowded with people watching the fireworks. Seeing them coming over, they took the initiative to make way for a direct way to the center.
In the circled area, there are a lot of various fireworks piled high. The main ones are sixteen-tube fireworks, which are sixteen paper tubes tied together in a 4*4 format.
Due to technical reasons, there are only three fireworks balls in each stick.
The person in charge of the fireworks display team is Zhang Ruiguang, the head of the warehouse. When he saw Changsun Wugou and Chen Jingke coming, he immediately came over to salute and say hello.
Chen Jingke looked at the crowd around him and said: "It's not less than a quarter of an hour, let's get started."
"Here." Zhang Ruiguang immediately ordered the fireworks to be lit.
The fire-fighting team had received safety education in advance and followed the training steps strictly.
"Bah..." The match rope was lit.
Everyone knew it was about to start and subconsciously widened their eyes.
Little Sizi stared at the burning fuse, very interested in it.
The sound of "Whew..." sounded, and a ray of fire shot into the air like a snake, scattering little sparks.
Everyone couldn't help but wonder, weren't they setting off fireworks? What were they?
Just then...
"Bang..." A slight explosion sounded in the air, and a red flower bloomed in the night sky, so gorgeous and colorful.
Everyone's mouths couldn't help but open wide. What is this? Why is it so beautiful?
Children don't have such complicated thoughts. Xiao Sizi said excitedly: "Brother, take a look...it looks good..."
Chen Jingke was afraid that she would fall, so he couldn't help but put a little more strength into his arms.
Although Changsun Wugou was mentally prepared, he was still surprised and couldn't help but ask: "Is this the fireworks you are talking about?"
Chen Jingke was trying to appease the little girl and said without looking back: "Yes, these are fireworks. They use gunpowder to push the fireworks into the sky and explode."
"Boom..." Another firework bomb flew into the sky, this time it exploded into red and green fireworks.
"Oh!!!" Someone in the distance cheered excitedly, and many people who were infected also cheered.
At the entrance of Zixiao Temple, Yihe Yilian, Tian Dachun, Niu Ben and others, as well as their families, were watching from a distance. For most of them, this was the happiest year in their lives.
Fireworks bloomed in the sky, and the crowd became more and more excited, especially the children's cheers.
Many people who were originally not interested in fireworks began to stop and watch, and Li Shimin, the natural leader, was also discussing with great interest.
People further away who were blocked from the small square, some stood in the open space, and some climbed up the walls and roofs to watch.
This special kind of fireworks brings unprecedented novelty to everyone.
…
In the center of the square, Xiao Sizi looked at it for a while and seemed to feel that it was not enough. He began to stare at the fireworks tube on the ground and said: "Brother, I want it, I want it..."
Chen Jingke didn't stop her. He spoke to Changsun Wugou and carried her into the isolation circle.
The guards around him all know him, so they won't stop him.
Seeing that her request was fulfilled, the little girl excitedly raised her hands and shouted something that no one could understand.
After entering the circle, Chen Jingke put her on the ground, held her hand and stood next to the fireworks to watch at close range.
The little girl didn't know the danger at all and struggled to get over, but naturally he wouldn't let go. However, in order to satisfy her curiosity, she asked someone to fetch a single-tube firework two feet long and as thick as a thumb.
These are specially made hand-held fireworks, but there are not many of them.
Putting the single-tube firework in the little girl's hand, Chen Jingke held her hand tightly and kept the fire outlet facing the sky.
The little girl was naturally unhappy and wanted to get rid of him, but unfortunately she was not strong enough and everything was in vain.
When the first firework ball shot into the sky and a small firework burst out, she immediately stopped making trouble.
His eyes were widened, staring closely at the fireworks in his hands, as if he was studying why this was happening.
Every time a firework burst out, she would stomp her little feet back and forth in excitement.
This fireworks extravaganza lasted for more than an hour before it ended.
In the previous life, the scale was not even comparable to that of a rich man setting off for his birthday, let alone comparing it to a national-level fireworks event.
But after all, it was the first time fireworks appeared, and the novelty they brought to people was still unprecedented.
After the fireworks show ended, the crowds who were used to going to bed early and getting up early gradually dispersed, and little Sizi fell asleep in Chen Jingke's arms.
He carefully handed her over to the nanny, and then sent everyone off with Sun Simiao. They were busy until nearly ten o'clock when they finally stopped.
After saying good night to Sun Simiao, he returned to the room and fell asleep without even taking a shower.
Tomorrow there will be an annual imperial gathering. The emperor, empress, prince, princes, princesses, relatives of the emperor, and all civil and military officials in Beijing will all attend. Even officials who are not in Beijing will send envoys to attend.
As the queen's nephew, Chen Jingke was also one of the royal relatives, so he naturally had to participate. He had to seize the time to rest and recharge his batteries.
