The fire starter was quickly brought over, and Hsinchu looked at the fireworks in Fang Zhengyi's hand with curiosity.
Fang Zheng took the tinder, took a few steps back and walked to the center of the courtyard.
Before lighting the fire, he shouted, "Second Miss, watch out, if this star runs away, it will be gone for real!"
"Hurry up! Stop blowing!" Chu Youyi urged repeatedly.
Although she said she was not convinced, her actions betrayed her.
He stood up from his chair involuntarily, his eyes fixed on Fang Zheng's hand.
A smile appeared on Fang Zheng's lips.
Pick up the fire starter, light the fuse, and then hold the fireworks high!
The fuse burned out in an instant!
“Swoosh~Pah!”
A brilliant firework shot straight into the sky and disappeared in a snap!
There was complete silence in the field...
The whole audience was stunned.
Stars! They really are stars! Heirloom!
Just like that, gone?
"Good God! He really picked the stars off!"
"What just happened?"
"That's not right! Shouldn't it jump up to the sky? How come it disappeared after jumping so low?"
"I guess he is too tired to hold it in and doesn't have enough energy..."
A group of servants started discussing with great excitement.
Who cares about the position of a book boy at this time? That's a star!
Being able to see the stars from such a close distance with your own eyes is something you can brag about for the rest of your life!
Isn’t it much more fun than being a book boy?
Chu Youyi stood there in a daze, staring at the sky, muttering: "Stars? How come they are still sparkling? They actually ran away..."
Fang Zhengyi sighed and said, "Is the Second Miss satisfied?"
"Satisfied... satisfied... but why did it disappear in a snap?" Chu Youyi asked dully.
"My grandfather caught it. After so many years, the star must have grown old...it can't move anymore."
Fang Zhengyi almost laughed out loud at such an outrageous statement, but luckily he managed to hold it back.
I remember when fireworks were first created in Taoyuan County, he told people that they could make a wish facing a shooting star. A group of people knelt on the ground and made a wish to the fireworks. Later, when the Taoyuan people knew the truth, they shamelessly used this trick to deceive children. It has almost become a tradition!
That scene was much more exciting than today!
Thinking of this, Fang Zhengyi inexplicably missed home and couldn't help but sigh.
"But..." Chu Youyi still had doubts in her heart, but when she saw Fang Zheng's "melancholy" look halfway through, she suddenly felt extremely ashamed.
This is someone's heirloom! How could it be destroyed with just one sentence? No one can accept this!
Chu Youyi whispered, "Yes... I'm sorry, Fang Tangjing. I just wanted to joke... I didn't know you really had a star... I'll give you any money you want."
Fang Zheng was so happy that his heart was filled with joy. The little girl was quite kind-hearted. That was good!
"Thank you for your kindness, Second Miss. It is thanks to you that I can see the star in this tube. If it is left in this state for another two years, it might die inside. Today it can see the light of day again. I believe my ancestors will be happy too. It is all thanks to you."
"Ah? Is that so?" Chu Youyi said hesitantly.
"Of course. It's okay for me to be a book boy now, right?" Fang Zheng asked.
"No! No! You should go back and have a rest. We will go to the academy tomorrow... Thank you for tonight." Chu Youyi smiled again and looked up at the sky.

"Brother Tie! Brother Tie, don't sleep! I saw fireworks! It must be the signal sent by the master!"
Zhao Lie was so excited that he was shaking all over, and he shook Zhou Tie hard.
"What signal?" Zhou Tie woke up in a daze.
I've been having a lot of trouble these past few days.
It was impossible to walk far in the mountains, the weather was cold, and he was also responsible for hunting.
It's really not easy to get a good night's sleep.
"Master! He is in the city we saw during the day! There are fireworks!"
Zhou Tie suddenly perked up, and said with a happy expression, "You guessed it? What a coincidence, the master sent a signal at night when we were about to enter the city tomorrow? Could it be that he can tell fortunes?"
Zhao Lie also reacted and asked in confusion: "Right? Why did they send out fireworks for no apparent reason? The master couldn't possibly know that we found this place."
"You're here to pick up girls, right? That thing is really useful for teasing young girls! I use it all the time." Zhou Tie rubbed his face and said, "Go to sleep, the master will be fine in the city. In the morning, let the brothers get the pass, and we will go into the city separately tomorrow."
.......
After a night, Fang Zhengyi took off his servant's clothes, put on a white robe, put on a jade pendant and returned to his usual attire.
She combed her hair again, looked in the mirror, and nodded with satisfaction.
The clothes are almost in bad condition, and he only looks 70% handsome again!
I looked at my pocket watch and it was time.
After packing up his book box, he arrived outside the Chu family's door. After waiting for a while, Xinzhu and Chu Youyi finally arrived.
The two stood at the door and looked around. Chu Youyi asked, "Huh? Why didn't Fang Tangjing come?"
"Come on, I'm here." Fang Zheng approached the two of them silently.
After looking Chu Youyi up and down, he saw that she had changed into men's clothes.
The upper body is just slightly raised...well, just average!
He looks quite heroic even though he is not dressed properly, but... he doesn't look like a man at all!
Chu Youyi and Hsinchu were struck by lightning!
Pointing at Fang Zheng, he stumbled and said, "You...you...you are Fang Tangjing?"
The two of them thought that this was some young master waiting for someone at the door!
This man in white clothes is completely different from the servant from yesterday!
