    After carefully putting the magnifying glass with special meaning close to her body, Li Mingyue picked up the brass tube that was about a foot long.

    "This is a kaleidoscope." Zhao Hao pointed to one end of the yellow cylinder and motioned for Li Mingyue to put his eyes up.

    Then he gently turned the cylinder, and the colorful foils placed inside changed and overlapped with the angles of the three mirrors, forming various wonderful geometric patterns.

    "Wow" Li Mingyue had naturally never seen such a scene before, and was deeply attracted at once.  ¡°The patterns are so wonderful and they¡¯re never the same.¡±

    ¡°That¡¯s natural, once a certain pattern disappears. You have to turn it for hundreds of years before the same combination appears, so every moment is worth appreciating and cherishing"

    Zhao Hao remembered a passage he had read before and said casually in a deep voice.

    Listening to his poetic words and looking at the ever-changing beautiful patterns in the kaleidoscope, Li Mingyue's heart froze.

    "What are you doing?!" At this time, Li Chengen opened the curtain and came in. He saw his sister and Zhao Hao leaning against each other in an ambiguous posture. He immediately shouted loudly.

    "Brother" Li Mingyue smiled and turned her head, giving Li Chengen a look that could make him depressed.

    Li Chengen couldn't help but change his words: "Well done."

    Zhao Hao handed another brass cylinder to Li Chengen and said, "This is for you."

    "Is that also a kaleidoscope?" Li Mingyue suddenly asked with her big eyes flashing.

    "That's called a telescope." Zhao Hao smiled and said, "It allows people to see things in the distance clearly."

    "Really?" When Li Chengen heard this, he didn't bother to find out what the two of them were doing just now, and quickly raised his binoculars to look around.  "It's so dark that I can't see anything clearly."

    "You have to look at it in an open place. Don't you like outdoor activities? There are many opportunities to use it." Zhao Hao smiled.

    "Really, let's go, go out and have a look." Li Cheng'en was so happy to see that he was hunting, and he was about to go out with the telescope.

    "Brother" Li Mingyue stopped him and said, "Have you forgotten something?"

    "What's going on?" Li Chengen was stunned for a moment.  "Have I finished all my business?"

    "Didn't you say that it was the first time for Brother Zhao to come to the capital and that he would be alone during the Chinese New Year when he was unfamiliar with the place?" Li Mingyue turned around and blinked at Li Chengen.

    "Ah, did I say that?" Monk Li Chengen was confused, but when he saw the threat in his sister's eyes, he couldn't help but feel his scalp tingling and said, "I really said it, look at my memory."

    "That's right." Li Mingyue immediately turned to Zhao Hao with a smile on her face and said, "So my brother plans to invite Brother Zhao to visit the temple fair during the Chinese New Year."

    ¡°Right, brother?¡± Li Mingyue turned around again, staring at Li Chengen intently.

    "Yes, that's right." What else can Li Chengen do? He smiled hurriedly and said: "The temple fair in Beijing is really fun. After the ninth day of the Lunar New Year, there are also lanterns. I will take you to go shopping after the New Year  ¡­¡±

    "Uh, okay." Zhao Hao nodded and agreed.

    ??~~

    Twenty-six stewed meat, twenty-seven slaughtered New Year chicken, twenty-eight handfuls of noodles, and twenty-nine steamed buns.

    The closer we get to the New Year, the more intense the New Year flavor in Beijing becomes.

    Starting early in the morning on New Year¡¯s Eve, firecrackers were crackling all over Beijing. It was the boys who couldn¡¯t wait to set off the whips because their parents usually wouldn¡¯t get angry on this day.

    Zhao Hao also wants to let go, but his disciples are past the age of playing, so the master has no choice but to respect his status and not do that kind of thing.

    But even without the whipping, his house would be very lively.

    Today, whether students or guards, everyone is on holiday for the Chinese New Year!

    The students laid out pens and ink, as well as large red paper sprinkled with gold, and asked Master and Grandmaster to write the word "blessing".

    Zhao Hao¡¯s handwriting was just a little better than Zhao Shizhen¡¯s, so naturally he didn¡¯t want to show his shame, so he said that since his father was around, it was not his turn to write.

    Zhao Shouzheng did his best to write the Chinese character "¸£" in eighteen different fonts, which attracted loud applause from his disciples and grandchildren.

    Putting down the brush, the father moved his wrist and said with a proud smile to his son: "When I was in trouble, I planned to sell my writing to support you, but it was a pity that it was useless."

    Zhao Hao smiled and nodded. At that time, who would have thought that this year would end with such joy, full of children and grandchildren?

    The experiences in life are really cruel.

    The disciples finished writing the Spring Festival couplets one by one, and then took Zhao Shizhen and Zhao Shixi out to post them up with joy and laughter.

    ????????????????????????After the Spring Festival couplets were pasted, Wang Xijue got off the carriage.

    "Why are you here?" Wang Dingjue's smile suddenly solidified when he saw his brother.

    "If there is no mountain, I will be the mountain. You can't drive your brother away during the Chinese New Year, right?" Wang Xijue then smiled and said, "How pitiful is it to leave me alone at home?"

    After a pause, he pulled out a pair of sleeves and an apron embroidered with several green bamboo branches and said, "Isn't it okay for me, the great editor of the Hanlin Academy, to cook the New Year's Eve dinner tonight?"

    Everyone also advised Wang Dingjue not to be angry until next year.  Then he said in a low voice: "I want to eat Shuangfeng Yao Chicken."

    "Yes, of course, brother, can you forget which bite you like to eat?" Wang Xijue was so happy that his bones lost three pounds, and he greeted the servants in the carriage behind him: "Hurry up and move everything in.  , be careful of spilling the soup."

    As a well-educated, tasteful and ambitious chef, even when he goes to other people¡¯s homes to cook, he will bring his own set of equipment and the required ingredients.

    In this way, every dish you cook can be maintained at a stable and high level.

    ??~~

    In the afternoon, the whole family talked, laughed, and finished making weird dumplings.

    Then in the evening, Zhao Hao and his son brought brothers Zhao Shizhen and Zhao Shixi to the main room in the east courtyard.

    On the wall there are the portraits of the black-faced Taizu and Zhao Dezhao and his son.

    Three generations of the Zhao family have respectfully supported their ancestors, especially Zhao Shouzheng, who has never been so pious in his life.

    It¡¯s just that when I kowtow, I can¡¯t help but think in my heart, Grandpa Taizu, please love me again, and Chunwei, please show your spirit again

    Zhao Shizhen also silently made a wish to his ancestors, hoping that I would pass the examination as soon as possible so that I could learn to build guns and steam engines from my uncle

    Zhao Shixi may have made a trivial wish - hoping that his ancestors would bless him and he could spend the thousand taels of silver in the second year of Longqing.

    Even Zhao Hao, who kept saying "I love science" all day long, couldn't help but make his own wish.

    With the blessing of my ancestors, I will grow three to four inches next yearI am talking about height.

    ??~~

    When the offerings were finished and we returned to the west courtyard, it was getting dark.

    The sound of firecrackers everywhere in the capital has become so dense that it cannot stop.

    Colorful fireworks soared into the sky one after another, making the blue-black night sky extraordinarily enchanting.

    Zhao Hao¡¯s family naturally bought a lot of fireworks. When the four of them came back, Hua Shuyang couldn¡¯t wait to invite Zhao Shizhen and Zhao Shixi to set them off together.

    The first thing they lit was something like a heartless cannon. Looking at the muzzle of the cannon raised toward the sky, Zhao Hao couldn't help but take a few steps back.

    "Where did you buy such a terrifying thing?" Zhao Hao felt that this thing could be used as a cannon.

    "My uncle makes fireworks. I went to him to make this one. I gave this one to my uncle." Zhao Shizhen, who is usually reserved, finally said with tears in his eyes: "You have given me a home again."

    "Let go." Zhao Shouzheng hated seeing others shed tears, and his eye circles immediately turned red.

    "Hey, good!"

    When the fuse burned out, there was only a muffled bang. In the smoke that filled the courtyard, a huge firework soared into the sky with a long tail flame. It rose until it could no longer reach the place where ordinary fireworks could fly, and then it exploded with a loud bang.  open.

    Immediately, half of the capital was shocked by the golden fireworks that were more than ten times larger than ordinary fireworks.

    The east wind blooms thousands of flowers and trees at night, and even blows them down, and the stars are like rain!

    Zhao Hao looked up at the disappearing fireworks and said silently in his heart:

    ¡®Goodbye in the first year of Longqing.  ¡¯
