Compulsory education in ancient times

Lao Yuan couldn't make the fireworks that Tao Jianran wanted on time, and he was in a hurry.Although Tao Jianran and Qi Bohan didn't blame him for being so slow, he knew that if he couldn't do this thing well, he would have no way to escape what his apprentice committed!

Under such tremendous psychological pressure, Lao Yuan began to lose weight rapidly. In just a few days, his thick beard and hair became as sparse as autumn weeds.

After the winter vacation, the ten students moved into Lao Yuan's laboratory together.Seeing the teacher getting thinner and thinner, the pressure on the few people is also increasing day by day.

Three days ago, Lao Yuan made a new firework. Although he finally made a phoenix pattern in the final trial, it did not look as colorful as imagined, but a handful of white smoke.If you don't look carefully, the white smoke is really not conspicuous at all in the dark night.

Lao Yuan tried to add various pigments, but to no avail.

A student saw that Lao Yuan continued to add various pigments into the formula as if he had found a dead end, and couldn't help but said: "Teacher, I read in the book that different things emit different colors of light when they burn. What about materials that glow brightly when burned?"

When Lao Yuan heard this, he paused.His originally thin face made his eyes look very big, but now he couldn't help but widen his eyes, and said to the student, "What did you say?"

The student was taken aback by Lao Yuan's expression, and repeated what he said just now intermittently.

"Quickly, go to your lord, we need more materials!" Lao Yuan shouted hoarsely, as if a prisoner who had been cornered had seen a glimmer of light.

When Tao Jianran learned that Lao Yuan had a new idea, he couldn't sit still.In two days it will be New Year's Eve, within two days, can Lao Yuan make fireworks?

Tao Jianran was anxious, but he didn't go to put pressure on Lao Yuan, but he was obviously absent-minded when playing with the children.

Bao'er waited for a long time but did not hear Tao Jianran's response, and immediately pouted and shouted aggrievedly: "Daddy, Daddy!"

"Hey, what's wrong with Bao'er?" Tao Yan came back to his senses, and gently pinched Bao'er's soft little face.

Bao'er hummed a few times in dissatisfaction: "Bao'er, I want Huahua!"

"Huahua?" Tao Yanran followed Bao'er's chubby short hands, and saw a small red flower-shaped headband on top of Beier's head, and couldn't help but chuckled, "Okay, Dad will wear Huahua for Bao'er."

After Tao Jianran tied Bao'er with a little red flower, the other two brothers also came over: "Huahua! I want Huahua!"

Tao Jianran played with the little dolls in the room, and Qi Bohan handled official business in the study.Suddenly, a black figure appeared before Qi Bohan's eyes: "Master, Ning An is ready."

"Okay, let's pass on the order for the Lantern Festival." Qi Bohan put the letter aside, turned to Fan Zhong, who was dressed as the butler, and asked, "How are the preparations for the wedding going?"

"Returning to Your Majesty, the Weaving Department has already made the hibiscus out of them, and even drew several styles of dresses, and I specially asked the old slave to bring them here for you to have a look at." Fan Zhong said, and took out a thick cloth from his pocket. A thick stack of drawing paper.

Qi Bohan took it, only took a look, then frowned and said: "It is not allowed to make the queen's style into a female style. All the queen's styles are the same as mine, and the pattern of the clothes can be changed to phoenix."

When Fan Zhong heard the words, he quickly responded, with no sign of disapproval on his face.

Fan Zhong is different from Weng Yuanji and others, he is an old man who has been serving Qi Bohan's family, he only cares about Qi Bohan's thoughts, as for the legal principles and human relations?He doesn't care.

After Fan Zhong left, Murong Wenyu was secretly summoned.But in the eyes of outsiders, this time it was Murong Wenyu who took the initiative to visit Tao Jianran to talk about life.

The emperor and queen's wedding should be handled by the Ministry of Rites.We can't be so blatant now, but the preparatory work can still be done in private, and now we naturally have to inform Murong Wenyu first.

Qi Bohan didn't want to regret his wedding with Tao Jianran because of lack of time.Ever since, Murong Wenyu stayed in the Tao Mansion for a whole day, and finally left with a dreamy expression on his face.

This year's winter in Beijing is a bit colder than usual, but the lively atmosphere in the air has not dissipated, and the closer the New Year is, the more lively the city will be.

Due to the establishment of the Military Academy and the Huaiyang Fu Xingzhi Primary School next door, there are now no wandering beggars in the capital.Even old beggars were recruited into schools as handymen.

There are no sad scenery, and this year is a year of good weather, the common people are happy from the bottom of their hearts.

In particular, the emergence of Minsheng Daily has enriched the spiritual life of ordinary people.The common people at the bottom have finally lost the numbness of living for a living in the past, and are more yearning for the future life.

In the blink of an eye, it was New Year's Eve, and for the first time since its opening, Qianlixiang Restaurant closed before dinner.Because Aunt Qi and the others are coming to Tao Mansion, together with the royal chefs, they will prepare a family banquet for Tao Jianran and Qi Bohan!

Compared with the lively atmosphere in the front yard, the artisan garden in the backyard is quiet.

Although the artisans usually work in the artisan garden, their family members are arranged in civilian residential areas. Now that the Chinese New Year is celebrated, the artisans naturally want to go back to spend with their families.

In the entire garden, only Lao Yuan's yard was still brightly lit.

Lao Yuan, with ten students, is putting the final materials into a bamboo tube bit by bit.

They have carefully calculated the proportion and placement of these materials, but now there is no time for trial placement.Tonight is the deadline. If this shot is not successful, we can only... keep going!

This year's New Year's Eve dinner in Tao's Mansion was extremely lively, not only the three Tao family siblings, Tian Da and Qi Bohan, but also four more baby babies, and the quarrel caused the roof to blow over.

Tao Jianran and the others had the New Year's Eve dinner with their four baby dolls, and after working so hard to put them to sleep, they were able to breathe a sigh of relief.

At this time, it is Haishi, and it will soon be midnight.

Tao Jianran said to his siblings and Tian Da: "It's getting late, you go back to your room and go to bed."

"Brother, are we not keeping the New Year's Eve this year?" Tao Xiran asked with a disappointed look in his eyes.

"Next year." Tao Yanran patted Tao Xiran's shoulder, "There's something going on this year, so go to bed early."

There must be a lot of noise when the fireworks are released later. Tao Yanran doesn't like to deceive his family, but he is afraid that the three people will leak their words outside, so he can only send them to sleep.

Tao Xiran was a little reluctant.Tao Yanran used to have the kitchen prepare a lot of new and delicious snacks when he was watching the new year in Ning'an.He didn't come to the capital last year, so he didn't have anything to eat.It's hard to come this year, but I still don't have anything to eat!

Tao Xiaomei saw that Tao Jianran had business to do, so she dragged the silly brother back into the house.

There is no curfew for the half month from New Year's Eve to Lantern Festival in Rui Dynasty.Some people like to invite relatives and friends to go out to watch the new year, and some like to stay at home with the whole family.So at this time the capital is very lively, but not as crowded as the Lantern Festival.

Tao Yanran gave everyone in the mansion a holiday, and now there are only Tao Yanran and his big family left in the mansion, as well as the shadow guards who are quietly guarding in the dark.

Tao Jianran and Qi Bohan came to Lao Yuan's courtyard, and the fireworks were ready at this time, waiting for the bell to strike.

"Are you nervous?" Qi Bohan gently hugged Tao Yanran from behind, holding his somewhat cold hands.

"What's there to be nervous about?" Tao Jianran said stiffly, but cold sweat had already begun to break out from his palms.

Qi Bohan chuckled, hugged Tao Jianran tightly, and whispered in his ear: "Yes, there is nothing to be nervous about. Even if you don't succeed tonight, after three months, you will still be my queen!"

Qi Bohan's sonorous and powerful voice miraculously soothed Tao Jianran's inner anxiety.Just like countless times in the past, no matter what happens or what he will face in the future, as long as Qi Bohan is by his side, Tao Yanran's heart can always settle down quickly.

Tao Jianran felt the warmth of Qi Bohan's chest, and while waiting, he couldn't help thinking wildly: "Then when you have a queen, shouldn't you arrange some concubines?"

"Don't dare, what if Ranran gets angry and kicks me off the stage?" Qi Bohan kissed Tao Jianran's cheek, which had regained a little flesh after hard work, "Besides, who else in the world can compare to my queen?" beautiful?"

"Won't your conscience hurt when you say this?" Tao Yanran snorted coldly, "I'm obviously handsome!"

"Yes, there is no one more handsome than you in this world except me." Qi Bohan kissed Tao Jianran's cheek again.

But Tao Yanran didn't buy it, pushed his face away, and said with disgust: "Who did you learn this glib talk from?"

"I'm telling the truth." Qi Bohan only explained one sentence lightly, and didn't argue with Tao Yanran. Anyway, in his eyes, there is no better person in the world than Tao Yanran.

The two men flirted and flirted completely regardless of the audience's feelings. Poor old Yuan and his students stood in the cold wind, counting the hours shivering.

Finally, the first midnight watch sounded, and the sound of firecrackers came from the interior of the capital one after another, which cheered Lao Yuan and the students.

Tao Jianran and Qi Bohan also came back to their senses, they looked at each other, and Tao Jianran said to Lao Yuan: "Light the fire."

Lao Yuan nodded, took out a torch from his pocket, and carefully lit the fuse of the fireworks.

But in just a few tens of seconds, the people who were setting off firecrackers at their door suddenly heard a loud bang.

Looking up, I saw a beam of colorful light rising from somewhere, and then exploded instantly!

"God... that, that is..." A young man dressed as a scholar opened his eyes in disbelief.

His companion's eyes were also staring at the illuminated night sky without blinking: "That's a phoenix...a phoenix?!"

"The phoenix has come to the world!" I don't know who yelled that, and the onlookers suddenly came to their senses, and hurriedly knelt down in the direction of the phoenix.
