Chapter 438: Fireworks Fill the City



That night, the moon was bright and the stars were sparse.

Yu Wendao originally wanted to go to Fu Mansion with her red makeup and green clothes, but when she was about to arrive, she turned a corner and went to the Forbidden Army camp.

"Walk."

"Where are you going?" Huo Huaijin asked in surprise.

"Let's go have a drink with Ning Yuchun."

"… Broken heart?"

"What the hell, I'm not even in love yet, go, go, don't waste time."

Huo Huaijin, carrying a silver spear on his back, rode a big horse and followed Yu Wendao's carriage to the Jinling government office.

As Ning Yuchun walked out of the government office, he met Yu Wendao and Huo Huaijin coming towards him.

"drink wine."

"… Broken heart?"

Yu Wendao suddenly felt unwell. Could it be that I had a face that looked like it was filled with heartbreak?

"Go away, let's go to the Sifang Building."

"Aren't all the chefs from Sifanglou at Fu Xiaoguan's house?"

"He's a fucking cheapskate. He didn't have a dinner party because he said he was busy that night."

The three of them walked on the street at night, and the topic naturally fell on Fu Xiaoguan again.

Huo Huaijin chuckled, "It's normal that he's not free tonight, so don't bother him."

"You know nothing!..." Yu Wendao almost blurted out the news that the Ninth Princess was pregnant. "This brat, ah...it won't be easy to find him for a drink in the future."

"He's not henpecked. Besides, given the personalities of his three wives, there's no way they can control him."

"That's not the reason. He rushed the wedding because he's going to be very busy soon."

Ning Yuchun nodded slightly. Since the new policy of the Yu Dynasty has been fully implemented, Fu Xiaoguan, as the initiator of this new policy, naturally needs to control the overall situation.

I heard that he has already started the pilot project in Pingling and Quyi counties, but the first batch of pilot counties include Linjiang Yao County, Gong County of Henan Prefecture, Kaiyang County of Qizhou, Quyi and Pingling counties of Yongning Prefecture, and Heyu County of Ningzhou.

Among them, the layout of Yao County is said to have been completed. Of course, this is only the layout of Xishan, and it has not yet mobilized the enthusiasm of all merchants in the Yu Dynasty.

It is estimated that the pilot projects in these six counties will start with the Xishan industry. He will use the results to prove to businessmen all over the world that the country's policy of promoting both commerce and agriculture is no joke.

Ning Yuchun firmly believed that Fu Xiaoguan would be the first person to benefit greatly from this policy!

He believed in Fu Xiaoguan's vision and his profound knowledge of economic strategies. However, Xishan's industry was huge. If he wanted to expand it in these six counties at the same time, would he have so much money to spend?

So when they walked into the Sifang Building and sat down on the third floor, Ning Yuchun had an idea in his mind.

"I plan to visit Mr. Fu tomorrow."

"What's up?"

Ning Yuchun chuckled, "Follow him to earn some money for drinking."

Yu Wendao and Huo Huaijin were startled, and immediately understood what Ning Yuchun meant -

"Let's go together tomorrow."

"I plan to invest 300,000 taels of silver in him." Ning Yuchun said calmly.

Yu Wendao's heart trembled. Damn it! As a prince, I only have 80,000 taels of silver in my pocket. No, I have to ask my mother for more. "I plan to invest 500,000!"

When Huo Huaijin heard this, he was like, "Oh shit, are you all so rich?"

"I...I only have a few thousand taels of silver."

Yu Wendao looked at Huo Huaijin with disdain and said, "I have some news for you. Third sister has saved quite a bit of private money!"

The third princess Yu Qinglan and her entourage returned to Shangjing from the Desolate Country and arrived yesterday. Huo Huaijin had already met the third princess last night. Of course, the two only talked about love and not money, so Huo Huaijin really had no idea about it.

Just as the three of them were talking about the future income of Xishan Industry in Fu Xiaoguan's hands, a burst of chattering women's voices came from outside.

The three of them pricked up their ears and listened...

Yu Wendao and Huo Huaijin both stood up. They opened the door of this private room and saw the third princess Yu Qinglan, Qin Ruoxue, the second lady of the Xi family Xi Xi, and the fifth lady of the Xue family Xue Yuyan.

They were both very surprised, but Yu Qinglan smiled after seeing them and said, "Ruoxue and the others insisted on coming here to welcome me, and also said... tonight, Fu Xiaoguan is going to set off fireworks all over Jinling, so we came here to have a meal and take a look at his fireworks. What do you guys...?"

Yu Wendao smiled and said, "We're just getting together casually. Come on, let's have some fun together..."

Yu Wendao welcomed Yu Qinglan and the other three inside, and then said, "Speaking of which, in all these years, we siblings haven't really had a meal together except during festivals. Everyone, please enjoy a drink tonight."

Qin Ruoxue glanced at Yu Wendao and chuckled, "We're really lucky today. Since the Fifth Prince is here, we can save some money. Sisters, don't hesitate to eat whatever you want!"

Everyone sat down. Although Xi Xi had a smile on her face, she looked a little lonely.

"Last year, Xiaolou and we would occasionally go to Hongxiuzhao to listen to music together. And then, in the blink of an eye... she got married. By this time next year, I think she'll already be a mother. Sigh..."

Xue Yuyan pinched Xi Xi and said jokingly, "You're probably sad because Xiaolou got married, aren't you? I admire Xiaolou. If you like someone, you should pursue them boldly. Look at you now. Fu Xiaoguan has married three people, and Xiaolou has achieved her goal, but you're complaining about everything. Who do you blame?"

Xi Xi pursed her lips and raised her eyebrows, "Fifth Prince, bring some wine!"

Everyone didn't know that the second young lady of the Xi family had also had a crush on Fu Xiaoguan, so they all laughed jokingly. When the food and wine were served, the topic fell on Fu Xiaoguan again.

The third princess spoke in detail about the power of the magic sword and what she saw in the two counties of Pingling and Quyi.

After hearing this, Xi Xi became even more depressed - "This is obviously my cup of tea, what a pity!"

Qin Ruoxue picked up a piece of squirrel fish with chopsticks and placed it in Xi Xi's bowl. "My second young lady, now this is your dish!"

Suddenly there was a flash of light outside the window, and everyone turned to look out the window——

Countless fireworks bloomed in the sky above Lantingji!

"Oh, they're really setting off fireworks. Let's go to the rooftop!" Qin Ruoxue said as she ran out. Everyone at the table was startled and ran out as well.

They arrived at the rooftop and saw countless brilliant fireworks blooming in all directions, almost all over the sky above Jinling!

Along the Qinhuai River, on top of the Confucius Temple, in front of the Yuhua Terrace, the Bookish Avenue of the Imperial Academy, the Ten-Li Long Street, and so on.

Like them, almost all the people in Shangjing City ran out, marveling at the beauty of the fireworks and astonished at Fu Xiaoguan's generosity.

Emperor Xuan and Empress Shang were also standing on the Qifeng Pavilion at this moment, looking at the fireworks all over the city.

In everyone's sight, many hot air balloons took off from everywhere, floating over Jinling, stunning everyone - what kind of miracle was this?

On one of the hot air balloons, Fu Xiaoguan and his three wives were floating leisurely among the fireworks.

"I once said I'd give you a wedding that would attract worldwide attention. This is pretty much all I can think of. I hope you like it."

On another hot air balloon not far from him, Bai Yulian's pretty face was filled with unconcealable nervousness - not because she was worried about Fu Xiaoguan's safety, but because there was a woman next to him, a very beautiful woman, her name was Wen Ruoxi!

"So beautiful...Xiaobai, when we get married in the future, can we do it like this?"
