Chapter 231: Avoid disaster and seek happiness, longevity and health
This meant the fire was about to be lit. Yun Qingshi had been looking forward to seeing this since early morning, so he ignored the chess game when he heard the sound. Without waiting for Xiao Jiwu to speak, he stood up and said, "Okay, we'll be there right away."
After saying that, Yun Qingshi went over and pulled Xiao Jiwu up from the other side of the couch. "Awu, Zhao Mingde said that the feasting must be led by the head of the family. You have to light the fire yourself. Let's go quickly."
Zhao Mingde's response was then heard from outside the hall: "Yes."
Inside the bedroom, Xiao Jiwu's face was filled with gentleness. After being pulled to his feet, he nodded slightly, then led Yun Qingshi straight to the inner room. He took off his cloak from the clothesline and skillfully placed it on the boy's shoulders. "Are you in such a hurry to go out to watch the feast? But you should at least put on more clothes. It's cold outside. Be careful not to catch a cold and have to drink bitter medicine again."
Yun Qingshi: ...
Yun Qingshi felt somewhat helpless when he heard this.
How come Xiao Jiwu has become the same as Zhao Mingde recently? He's always worried about him catching a cold. It's not that serious...
Thinking of this, Yun Qingshi saw Xiao Jiwu about to tie the silk ribbon of his cloak, and he hurriedly took a step back to avoid it.
Seeing this, Xiao Jiwu froze in his tracks, lowered his hands, and asked patiently, "What's wrong?"
Yun Qingshi answered obediently: "I don't want to wear this. It's too heavy and it will restrict my movements. I also want to set off fireworks later."
Xiao Jiwu could only dote on him when he heard that: "Okay, as you say, I'll change into a cloak then."
After saying this, Prince Xiao calmly instructed outside the palace, "Zhao Mingde, come in and find Eleven's cloak."
"I'll be right there." Zhao Mingde hurried back into the house to look for his cloak.
After carefully putting on the cloak for the young man, Xiao Jiwu took Yun Qingshi out of the bedroom.
In the courtyard, Bitao, Birui and Changshun were already waiting.
Fortunately, I didn't miss the time.
The blazing fire was ignited from the bottom. Changshun had already placed straw and cypress branches underneath. Zhao Mingde also lit the torch to start the fire, and then respectfully presented it to Xiao Jiwu: "Your Highness."
Seeing this, Xiao Jiwu raised his hand to take it, but then he handed the burning torch to Yun Qingshi beside him: "Take it."
Yun Qingshi:???
Yun Qingshi didn't expect Xiao Jiwu to give him the fire. He was stunned and puzzled: "Didn't I say you light it?"
Xiao Jiwu replied gently, "We can go together, but we have to hurry, otherwise the auspicious time will pass."
When Yun Qingshi heard Xiao Jiwu say that they might miss the auspicious time, he no longer hesitated and immediately took the torch with a serious look on his face.
When Yun Qingshi took the torch, Xiao Jiwu reached out and held Yun Qingshi's hand holding the torch, so that they were together.
His hands were a size larger than the boy's, which was just right.
He took the torch and placed the yellow paper with the blessing words written on it from Zhao Mingde into the blazing fire. Xiao Jiwu then said, "Avoid disaster and embrace good fortune. May you live a long and healthy life."
Hearing this, Yun Qingshi also silently repeated: "Avoid disaster and seek happiness, and live a long and healthy life."
As soon as Yun Qingshi finished speaking, Xiao Jiwu leaned over slightly with Yun Qingshi and ignited the straw at the bottom.
There must have been oil or wine poured on the outside of the blazing fire to help it burn. As the straw was ignited, the whole blazing fire quickly caught fire.
The flames shot up into the sky, as if illuminating the entire yard in an instant.
This scene was more spectacular than Yun Qingshi had expected.
And the next moment, a sharp sound of firecrackers broke the silence.
A firework then shot up into the sky and exploded.
Then more fireworks followed, filling the sky and even giving Yun Qingshi the illusion that the sky was about to be lit up.
The crackling sound continued, and in the brilliant and dazzling scene, Yun Qingshi silently reached out and grabbed Xiao Jiwu's hand.
Noticing the boy's movements, Xiao Jiwu curled his lips and pinched the boy's palm in response.
Seeing this, Zhao Mingde tactfully stepped forward and took the torch from Yun Qingshi's other hand.
After standing there watching the fireworks for a long time, Yun Qingshi finally came to his senses and said to Xiao Jiwu, "Awu, let's set off some fireworks too."
Otherwise, all the fireworks Xiao Jiwu bought for him would be wasted.
Xiao Jiwu naturally agreed: "Okay."
Hearing this, Zhao Mingde, who had put away the torch, brought Changshun and brought over more fireworks for the two of them to take...
————
I don’t know what happened, but this time Yun Qingshi was a little crazy. In less than half an hour, he finished half a sack of fireworks by himself.
Maybe setting off firecrackers is really addictive.
When he finally finished playing, the whole yard was a mess.
He also accidentally burned a round hole in his cloak.
This cloak has only been worn two or three times, which is really a pity.
Xiao Jiwu, who had stopped when he saw Yun Qingshi, stepped forward and straightened the boy's hair, which had been somewhat messed up by the wind. He asked in a gentle voice, "Are you still playing? There should be more in the side room. Do you want Zhao Mingde to get it?"
Yun Qingshi hesitated for a moment and then shook his head and refused: "No, let's save those for next time."
In fact, he was a little dazed by the smell of gunpowder.
Xiao Jiwu nodded slightly when he heard the voice: "Okay, go back and drink some water and rest."
After saying that, Xiao Jiwu glanced at Zhao Mingde.
Zhao Mingde understood what he meant and quickly put a ball of snow-white fur into Prince Xiao's wide sleeves.
Yun Qingshi was completely unaware of this. After following Xiao Jiwu into the bedroom, he took off his cloak first, washed his hands, and then sat down at the table to drink tea.
It was probably around twelve o'clock by now. Yun Qingshi couldn't help yawning while drinking water.
After all, he should have gone back to sleep at this time normally, and he is no longer the student who used to stay up late in bed playing with his phone.
Yun Qingshi couldn't help but ask Xiao Jiwu: "Awu, how long are we going to stay up to celebrate the New Year?"
Xiao Jiwu quickly replied, "Until dawn."
After hearing this, Yun Qingshi suddenly felt a little desperate.
Oh my God, that means he still has to endure for six hours!
He suspected he would fall asleep while sitting...
Noticing the boy's mood, Xiao Jiwu added, "However, if Qingqing can't stand it anymore, go to bed soon."
The little thing in the sleeve was a little restless, so Xiao Jiwu had to gently adjust the cuff again.
Upon hearing this, Yun Qingshi immediately nodded in agreement: "Yeah, I'll stay here for a while and then go to sleep."
Xiao Jiwu agreed with a smile, then he suddenly stood up and walked towards the inner room, and said to Yun Qingshi: "Qingqing, come and change my clothes."
Although Yun Qingshi was a little surprised when he heard the voice, he nodded and walked over to start undressing Prince Xiao.
Because since they officially got together, Xiao Jiwu never let him do these things.
