MTL - Fight the Giants-Chapter 827 spark

  Chapter 827 Spark

  Kunming City has six gates. There are north and south gates, large and small east gates, and large and small west gates. The gate tower on the south wall is the largest and most magnificent. Mu Yan and others went straight to the south gate.

   When they arrived, the inside and outside were crowded with people watching the fireworks. Seeing the prince appearing in a chariot, the people shouted: "My son, my son!"

  Mu Yan greeted the public with Huo Xi's probe. The crowd cheered even louder.

  Mu Zhan Mu Xi not to be outdone, raised the curtains of the car one after another to signal to the crowd. Most of the people had never met the young master of the Mu Mansion, and they didn't know who was who, so cheers came and went. Mu Zhan, Mu Xi and others were very excited.

   Sure enough, Mu Yan couldn't have the limelight alone.

  The city gate officials led the way, and the city gate soldiers opened the way. Mu Yan led Huo Xi up to the gate tower on the south city wall. The three-story house in the south gate tower, named "Shangming Building", is tall and majestic, standing on it can overlook the panoramic view of Kunming City.

   "Wow, that's spectacular!"

  The winter night wind blows on the face, and there is a slight chill, but it doesn't feel cold. The entire Kunming city can be seen at this time. On New Year's Eve, the city is full of sparks, lighting up almost every corner of the city. People can't help feeling emotional when they see it.

  Mu Yan embraced her and pointed to the north, "The gate tower of the North City is also a three-story house, called Wangjing Tower, which echoes Shangming Tower."

   "Wangjing Tower?"

Huo Xi suppressed the emotions of thinking about children and relatives, looked at Kunming City under the night, and smiled at Mu Yan: "Although it is a border land, it is far away from the capital city, but looking at the whole city this way, it is not like that. Lost the simple and simple atmosphere. The fireworks all over the city are the most pleasing to the heart.”

   "Yeah." I'm happiest when you're by my side.

  A moment later, Mu Yan gave an order, and the fireworks that had been prepared earlier were carried up by the city gate soldiers, and placed word by word on the city walls on both sides of the city gate tower.

   With a bang, it bloomed into the sky. The fireworks exploded in the air, and hundreds of gorgeous night flowers bloomed, stunning and eye-catching.

   "Wow!" Inside and outside the city gate, the common people were overjoyed, raising their heads together, and the sound of wow continued. The children danced and cheered happily.

  Under the night sky as bright as day, are the happy faces of the people praying for the years to be quiet.

   After half an hour, the sound of the explosion gradually subsided.

   "May the world be peaceful, the country peaceful and the people safe! I wish the people in Yunnan will have good weather and prosperity!" Mu Yan stood on the top of the city gate and raised her voice to send New Year blessings to the people below.

   "Good weather, Wufu Minfeng!"

   "My son, my son, my son!" The mountains shouted and the sea shouted, and the voice of shouting for my son continued for a long time.

  Mu Jun looked at Mu Yan, who was shouting at Bainuo, who was naturally extravagant, and felt shocked. His second brother had the aura that even his second uncle Qian Guogong didn't have. Others only praised the second uncle as a Confucian general, and the second uncle lacked a bit of majesty and a natural luxury compared to the second brother.

  Compared to Mu Jun's surrender from the heart, Mu Zhan on the other side only felt that everything was dazzling.

  The prince should have called him. He is the eldest son of the people of Yunnan! The shouting and shouting in front of him should be aimed at him, not Mu Yan, the heir!

   Gritting his teeth and secretly hating.

   Seeing Wu Zhi on the side looking at Mu Yan in a trance, he shouted angrily: "Go!" He lifted his legs and went down the tower, Wu Zhi hurriedly followed.

   "Brother, wait for me!" Mu Xi hurriedly followed after seeing Feng Shi not moving, so he even went to pull her.

  Feng was a little embarrassed, she was still immersed in the shouts of the people just now, and the people below raised their heads and shouted at the gate tower, and she was one of them. I was so shocked that I couldn't return to my senses for a long time.

   Being dragged away by Mu Xi, she had no choice but to say to Huo Xi, "Second sister-in-law, let's go back first."

  Huo Xi smiled and nodded, "Be careful on the road." He watched them go down the tower.

  Turning to look at Mu Yan, Mu Yan said: "Let's go later, there will be a lot of people, I'm afraid the road will be blocked."

   After speaking, Mu Jun and Mu Zhong were invited to go up to Shangming Tower to see the night view together. Also called Mu Zuo Muyou, who hadn't seen enough excitement.

   "Second sister-in-law, will the capital also set off fireworks on New Year's Eve?" Mu You didn't watch enough excitement, but felt that the fireworks hadn't lasted long enough, and the young man's heart was about to move and he couldn't calm down.

  Huo Xi smiled, "Yes, the sound of firecrackers has been heard everywhere in the city since it was dark. It's just that no one dared to go up the city gate and let them go."

   "Isn't that boring?"

   "While anyone can climb the city gate, the city wall is used to defend against the enemy! If the second brother hadn't celebrated with the people today, we wouldn't be able to climb the gate tower easily." Mu Zuo reprimanded his younger brother.

Huo Xi nodded, "Yes, the city walls are usually not easy for people to go up. But the city walls of the capital are open to the public every year during the Lantern Festival, allowing everyone to climb high and have a look at the scenery of the capital. In addition, there is a lantern festival during the Lantern Festival. There will also be sky lanterns. It's very lively."

   "Raise the sky lanterns? If we also let the sky lanterns go, standing on the Shangming Building, it will be as lively and festive as tonight!"

   After Mu Zuo finished speaking, he looked at Mu Yan: "Second brother..." His eyes prayed. He wanted to watch the sky lanterns floating all over the city from the top of the city gate.

  Mu Yan cast a glance at him, then looked at Huo Xi. When she mentioned the lantern festival and sky lanterns in the capital, she must be thinking about her son and the personnel affairs in the capital. I can't help feeling a little distressed.

After thinking for a while, he said to Brother Muzuo Muyou: "Do you know how many soldiers were deployed in the city for the fireworks on New Year's Eve? How many troops were dispatched there?"

   Mu Zuo Muyou was stunned for a moment, and looked at Mu Yan with his mouth wide open.

   Sure enough, the second brother has to be the son, they don't know this.

   "You scared the seventh and eighth brothers." Huo Xi smiled.

"If you want to release sky lanterns, you can put them in our mansion for the Lantern Festival. It's the same when you look at the tall buildings in the mansion. If you want to prepare such an event in the city, it will be a bit mobilizing. There are many wooden houses in the city, and the mountains are surrounded by forests. , it will burn at that time, and it will be difficult to control."

   "Okay. Then we will release it in the mansion." Seeing that Mu Yan did not object, the two brothers became happy again.

   It was not until the crowd dispersed that everyone returned to the house to watch the night.

  The next day, the first day of the first month of the 16th year of Yongkang. Huo Xi's birthday is another year.

  The husband and wife got up early to pay their respects to Mrs. Yu. Yu Shi got up early to do morning classes, and there was still a faint smell of incense candles on her body. He was very happy to see the husband and wife, and ordered the maid to give Huo Xi a set of jewelry.

   "It's so beautiful! Thank you mother. Let mother spend money."

  Yu smiled and said: "This is my dowry back then, it's hard for you not to dislike it."

  The husband and wife had breakfast with Shi Yu, and then walked around the mansion with her. Talk to her all morning, and then have lunch with her. Seeing that she insisted on leaving, the husband and wife sent her ten miles out of the city before turning back.

  Backing back to the courtyard, seeing that all the houses had given her birthday presents, Huo Xi carefully selected gifts in return and delivered them to each house in person.

  The next day, the second day of the first lunar month. The husband and wife went to Yu's house with generous gifts.

  The Yu family didn’t come out to greet them this time, but they still sent juniors to wait at the door.

  Because Mu Yan and his wife were going to visit, not only the daughter of the Yu family returned to Ning with her son-in-law and children, but even all the sons and daughters-in-law did not go out.

  The whole family sat and talked together affectionately, and the hall was full.

  Huo Xi took Aunt Yu's hand to thank him: "Before, Yu's shop followed us to change suppliers, and then followed us to lower prices. I don't know how to express my gratitude."
