Not long after He Qiudi brought He Qingya and her sister into the kitchen, He Huaijin and He Huaibi also followed in and said they wanted to help make dumplings.

Grandpa He simply built some firewood in the yard and made a bonfire for everyone.

The He and Jin families gathered around the campfire to keep warm and make dumplings together.

The Jin family was invited by the He family to celebrate the New Year together.

He Qiudi asked He Qinglu and He Sanlang to invite Qi Xi's family of five as well.

The three families together had about forty or fifty people, gathered in a circle in the courtyard, and it was very lively.

In addition to pork and cabbage filling, we also made mushroom, water chestnut and pork filling, leek and egg filling, and three-fresh filling.

Let’s make dumplings together.

The dumpling soup is made with the old broth that Grandma He stewed with large bones and minced meat, which makes it taste particularly delicious.

Everyone had a beautiful smile on their face while eating.

After eating dumplings, everyone went their separate ways. Some helped with the preparation of the New Year’s Eve dinner, while others went to read or help with the chores.

He Qiudi went for a walk in the village and came back to write a letter to Feng Shiyan.

What was said in the letter written on New Year's Day was not important. What was important was that the person she was thinking of was Feng Shiyan on this important holiday.

Write about things that make her happy.

Write about her plans for next year.

Write about her development plan for the six counties in the western border, etc.

After writing the letter, He Qiudi put it into the port space and prepared a luxurious New Year's Eve dinner for the little fairy in the space.

While eating salmon sashimi, the fairy asked, "Qiu Di, have you ever regretted coming here?"

He Qiudi swallowed the salmon in his mouth, shook his head and said, "I don't regret it. Although there is no air conditioning, delicious watermelon, Internet, or those high-tech things here, I have gained more relatives here, which is my bond. And I seem to have found like-minded people."

The fairy smiled humanely.

"Perhaps, it is because you are wholeheartedly serving the people that you are granted port space, allowing you to save more people in this miserable border. It is also a godsend opportunity for you to meet the person you love. This is your blessing."

He Qiudi ate a little and then stopped eating.

She also needs to save food for tonight's New Year's Eve dinner.

Her body had been blown into a mosaic. At the moment she made up her mind to die, she never thought about surviving.

Now, she still has the opportunity to live in a different time and space, and she is already extremely content.

If she could get family love and affection in this different time and space, and help the working people she can, she would have no regrets.

noon.

They began to worship their ancestors.

After offering sacrifices to the ancestors, we start to eat the New Year’s Eve dinner.

Everyone sat in the main hall and corridor of the He family's main house to eat. The adults stayed inside the house, and the children's tables were placed at the door.

The family’s guards and servants were eating the New Year’s Eve dinner in the courtyard.

Firecrackers sounded.

The He family’s New Year’s Eve dinner officially begins.

Tonight, He Qiudi was happy and drank some fruit wine. It was the end of summer and she made it herself. The quantity was not much, so she took out some for everyone to drink and gave the rest to Yang Si, asking him to give it to Feng Shiyan after he came back.

Yang Si didn't dare to wait until after the New Year.

Without even finishing the New Year's Eve dinner, he found someone to rush to the capital.

After eating the New Year’s Eve dinner.

Yang Si ordered people to bring the fireworks that Feng Shiyan prepared for He Qiudi, and set them off in Shiliu Village.

"Bang-bang-bang" sounds were heard.

Yang Si handed He Qiudi an exquisite wooden box.

"Miss Qiu Di, this is what His Highness asked me to give you before he returned to Beijing during the Chinese New Year. The fireworks tonight were also specially prepared for you by His Highness."

Brilliant fireworks exploded in front of He Qiudi for the second time.

Ok.

You can make a lot of money by selling fireworks to the provincial capital, the capital, and the city.

He Qiudi said: "Thank your Highness for me. I like this gift very much."

Yang Si took a half step back and said, "Miss Qiu Di, please express your gratitude to His Highness in person. I can't convey the message."

He Qiudi waved his hand and said, "Okay. I'll thank him properly when he comes back."

The fireworks lasted more than ten minutes to finish.

Although not as gorgeous as the present world, it is also dazzling and beautiful.

at this time.

Beijing.

At the palace banquet, Feng Shiyan presented the emperor with the New Year gift of fireworks.

Brilliant fireworks exploded in the air above the palace.

The faces of the royal family, civil and military officials, and noble families were all colored.

They had already heard that Feng Shiyan was able to defeat the Xirong people with great success because of something called "explosives".

Feng Shiyan wrote back to explain that the explosion of "dynamite" is similar to that of "firecrackers" in the academy, but the materials and craftsmanship are different, so the resulting products are not exactly the same.

I didn’t expect that the people of Feng Shiyan could make such beautiful “fireworks”.

People in the court were not unaware of Feng Shiyan's movements.

His people have returned to the capital and to the south of the Yangtze River frequently in the past few months. Each time they brought treasures with them, exchanged them for a lot of silver, and then bought food to send to Yongning Prefecture for disaster relief.

But no one could find out where these treasures that Feng Shiyan's people sold came from.

Some people speculated that it was the wealth accumulated by the Crown Prince from his previous business in Yuhu Prefecture and Yongning Prefecture.

Feng Shiyan used the crown prince's savings to exchange for grain and silver for disaster relief, but did not use it for anything else, which was not in line with the status of both father and son.

For a time, there were many speculations about them in the court.

But today is New Year's Day and no one dares to ask.

The fireworks are over.

The emperor, who was sitting at the highest point, clapped his hands and said, "Yan'er, the fireworks you prepared are really great. They really opened my eyes and won my heart. This time, you defeated the Western Rong and made them sign a peace agreement and pay compensation to the Great Zhou. You have made an invaluable contribution."

"Ennobling you as the King of Qin is not enough to express my appreciation for your achievements this time. And you just happened to give me such a beautiful fireworks show. I will grant you a wish. Is there anything you want? As long as you ask, your uncle will satisfy you."

As soon as Emperor Feng Ye said this, everyone present became nervous.

The Queen in particular had already called out, "Your Majesty..."

After she screamed, she realized that she had lost her composure, so she quickly shut up and looked at Feng Shiyan nervously, her sharp phoenix eyes full of warnings.

Warn Feng Shiyan not to ask for the throne or the position of crown prince.

Although no one would be so stupid.

But what if?

Feng Shiyan took a step forward and said, "Thank you, uncle. As a citizen of the Great Zhou, I must do my best to drive away any foreign enemies that set foot in our country. This is the responsibility of the sons of the Great Zhou. I dare not take credit for it. It is all because of the good teachings of uncle and father. But this time I am using the fireworks show to please uncle. I do have a favor to ask for."

Feng Ye smiled and said, "Yan'er, you can talk as you please."
