Chapter 229 Xiao Jiwu comes back to spend the New Year with him!
Several people had flour on their hands. Finally, Ye Runan clapped his hands and broke the silence:
"Is that about it? We packed so much, can we finish it?"
The fire crackled in the stove. Hearing this, Yun Qingshi came back to his senses a little. He glanced at the dumplings everyone had made, thought for a moment and said, "Let's make some more. When they're cooked, I'll send some to Yingyi and the others."
Of course he will not forget his good brothers.
After hearing this, Ye Runan did not hesitate for long and directly took the rolled out dumpling wrappers to continue making dumplings.
In the end, they made three large plates of dumplings, which was more than enough for everyone to eat.
The dumplings made by Yun Qingshi were placed separately in a smaller wooden plate. He reserved them for Xiao Jiwu. They were filled with delicious scallop and shrimp fillings.
Of course, during the Chinese New Year, the maids and servants also had dumplings to eat, but they were not made by Yun Qingshi and the others, but by the chefs in the kitchen.
After arranging the dumplings, Yun Qingshi and Ye Runan returned to Yian Hall. It was already dark, but the fire had not been lit yet. Yun Qingshi heard from Zhao Mingde that it would be lit on time at midnight.
Shengwanghuo is also called Yanliao, which means to drive away evil spirits and avoid disasters, pray for blessings and good luck, which is a very good meaning.
But since he had nothing to do at the moment, Yun Qingshi thought for a moment and then said to Changshun, "Changshun, where are the fireworks that Eunuch Zhao prepared? Take them out."
It's a good time to let off some steam now to kill time and have fun together.
"Okay, I'll go right away." Changshun naturally went down to get it without hesitation.
While Changshun was getting the fireworks, Yun Qingshi turned to Zhao Mingde and said, "Eunuch Zhao, please prepare a pot of wine for me for the New Year's Eve dinner. Don't drink anything too strong. I'm not used to strong liquor."
Zhao Mingde hesitated when he heard this, and was obviously worried: "This..."
Yun Qingshi naturally knew what Zhao Mingde was worried about, so he tried to dispel his concerns: "It's okay, I just think that festivals are suitable for drinking. Senior Brother is here, so I won't get drunk. I think if the prince were here, he wouldn't refuse me either."
Since Yun Qingshi had said so, Zhao Mingde could no longer refuse and could only nod and agree: "Yes, I will have someone prepare it in a moment."
"Yeah." Yun Qingshi nodded slightly in response.
At this time, Changshun and another servant also came over carrying a large sack of fireworks.
Watching from afar as the two men carried such a large bag of fireworks and firecrackers over, Yun Qingshi was stunned and couldn't help but exclaimed, "So many?"
Chang Shun smiled and replied, "Your Excellency, this is only part of it. There is more in the side room."
"The prince was worried that there wouldn't be enough for the adults, so he specifically ordered more to be bought."
Yun Qingshi: ...
But this is too much...
And this big sack is only a part of it?
This was definitely enough now, he felt he could keep going until dawn.
Is Xiao Jiwu trying to coax him with so many fireworks?
You're not coming back tonight, and you're worried he can't sleep, so you prepared all this for him...
Yun Qingshi couldn't help but think randomly, and his mood was a little complicated for a while.
But he quickly shook his head and dismissed those messy thoughts.
Never mind, just have fun.
If there are so many, then let’s release them together.
Yun Qingshi quickly asked Changshun to put a large bag of fireworks on the open space behind, and then squatted down to pick some.
He first took a handful of the kind that he held in his hand and distributed it to everyone.
Yun Qingshi has always been like this, and everyone is used to it now, so Yun Qingshi just accepted it for them.
Yun Qingshi also called Ying Twelve down, and of course Ye Runan’s was included, and even Zhao Mingde had one stuffed into his hand.
The two little girls, Bitao and Birui, looked very curious when they got the fireworks, and they couldn't hide their excitement.
After distributing the fireworks, Yun Qingshi asked Changshun to light incense and distribute it to everyone. It would be safer to use incense to light fireworks.
After getting the incense, Yun Qingshi lit the first firework stick in his hand.
Looking at the golden light exploding, Yun Qingshi felt that his mood suddenly became much brighter.
It's quite beautiful.
Seeing this, the rest of the people also lit the fireworks in their hands.
Bi Tao's face was full of joy: "Bi Rui, look, it's really beautiful!"
Birui opened her eyes wide and watched the fireworks burn out one by one.
Seeing this, Yun Qingshi spoke at the right time: "The prince has prepared a lot of fireworks, and I can't set them off all by myself. Everyone can play if they want, don't worry."
Upon hearing this, Bitao and Birui no longer worried and went together to get more fireworks to continue lighting them.
Yun Qingshi also picked out a new one. This time it was not a handheld one, but one that was placed on the ground to ignite.
Judging from the appearance alone, he couldn't tell whether it was the kind that exploded or the kind that made sparks.
So Yun Qing couldn't help but feel a little nervous when he saw it.
Before lighting the fuse, he asked everyone to stay away. Then, as soon as the fuse was lit, he covered his ears and ran to the door of the bedroom using light skills.
At this time, the fuse had not yet burned out, so he continued to cover his ears and watch vigilantly.
It was finally confirmed that this was just a small firework that would pop and not fly into the sky.
But it was also very beautiful. After realizing that it would not explode, Yun Qingshi took his hands away from his ears and just admired the fireworks with curiosity.
This is the real fireworks.
Everyone around also stopped to appreciate this beautiful scene.
Then, as Yun Qingshi was watching, he suddenly saw an extremely familiar figure appear behind the fireworks.
It’s Xiao Jiwu.
Yun Qingshi thought it was his own hallucination, so he just stood there motionless, staring at the figure approaching him accompanied by fireworks.
But even after the fireworks burned out, the figure did not disappear.
Yun Qingshi was surprised and couldn't help rubbing his eyes with the hand that didn't hold the incense.
He wanted to see if Xiao Jiwu would disappear if he rubbed his eyes...
But Prince Xiao was immediately worried when he saw this. He quickly walked to Yun Qingshi and wanted to take the boy's hand away to check his eyes: "What's wrong? Let me take a look. Did the fireworks hurt your eyes just now?"
Yun Qingshi:???
Yun Qingshi was immediately surprised.
So it’s not fake, it’s the real Xiao Jiwu!
Xiao Jiwu is back to spend the New Year with him!
Seeing this, everyone around also hurriedly saluted: "Greetings, Your Highness, may Your Highness be well..."
Xiao Jiwu pretended not to hear anything. After taking the boy's hand away, he gently lifted the boy's chin and examined him carefully with a frown.
Ye Runan was also helpless as he watched from the side. He lit another firework and then calmly answered for Yun Qingshi: "Don't look. His eyes are fine. He just didn't expect you to come back and thought it was dazzled."
