As the fireworks of Fengjing soared, they raised their glasses in celebration and shared their food.
Jiang Sheng, the youngest, was sipping tea from a teacup when she caught a glimpse of the colorful sky out of the corner of her eye. She immediately put down her cup and chopsticks and ran happily into the courtyard.
In Shili Town, they saw the wealthy Niu and Ma families setting off fireworks.
In Xieyang County, they saw merchants setting off fireworks to make money.
In Anshui County, they saw fireworks set off by the Wang family and other prominent families.
From a few breaths to a burst of fireworks lasting the time it takes to drink half a cup of tea, and then to a full incense stick's time, the level of extravagance gradually increases.
Now that she has arrived in Fengjing, in this extravagant and prosperous city, she has witnessed the most beautiful fireworks in the entire Dayu Dynasty and experienced the longest fireworks show of her life.

Wang Fufeng himself said that the Wang family's fireworks cost at least a thousand taels of silver every year.
Such a magnificent view in Fengjing today would probably cost tens of thousands of taels of silver.

"Look, it looks like the Jiang family is setting off fireworks over there..." Jiang San shouted, pointing southeast.
There, a huge and beautiful arc-shaped firework is slowly blooming.
There was also a tall, upright young man who smiled gently at the girl beside him, "Chenghuan, do you like these fireworks?"
