The crackling firecrackers were set off by the people in Zhang Garden. In fact, firecrackers have gone through more than 2,000 years of development. At first, they were made by burning bamboo tubes in a fire, and then using the sound of the bamboo tubes bursting to celebrate. Gradually, they were filled with charcoal and saltpeter to make even louder firecrackers.
As gunpowder became more common, firecrackers, which were banned everywhere because of polluting the air in later generations, actually came into being. There were even names such as "one thousand poles" and "two thousand poles", just like "one thousand bangs" and "two thousand bangs" in later generations.
However, the Taizu of this dynasty had very strict control over gunpowder. After he ascended the throne, he claimed that gunpowder firecrackers were easy to cause fires and difficult to control, so he banned firecrackers filled with gunpowder, including Kongming lanterns, and even issued a strict ban on officials and wealthy families in the capital, requiring that no gunpowder firecrackers be set off from top to bottom, and only firecrackers could be set off, literally...
Even though it has been a long time since the founding of the country, many old rules from the Taizu period have long been thrown into the dustbin of history, but most officials still abide by the rule of not setting off firecrackers to avoid being caught by some over-correcting censors. As for the firecrackers produced by private gun workshops in the private sector, that is, some people set them off privately during festivals and weddings, the government has no control over them.
Although the sound of these firecrackers was not as powerful as the deafening firecrackers, Zhang Shou was not so picky since the artistic conception was there. At this time, Fatty Lu Sanlang, who had just quietly mixed into his wedding procession on the road and then quietly slipped away at some point, came out with a bulging chest and a protruding belly.
That's right, the male sponsor of Zhang Yuan's wedding today was the little fat man. This was also the reason why he didn't compete with Zhang Chen and others to be the best man.
At this moment, he accompanied Zhang Shou with a big smile to welcome Zhu Ying who was getting off the bridal sedan. Seeing that the eldest lady's bright red wedding dress was more gorgeous than the other brides, he couldn't help but sigh. When he sent the young couple to the bridal chamber to perform the ceremony of being buried together and drinking the same wine together, he lowered his voice and said, "Young sir, your wedding today will really make a sensation in the whole city."
Zhang Shou was originally thinking that Zhu Ying's red veil was lifted too quickly today, and he was one step behind and couldn't see clearly whether she was wearing heavy makeup, or light eyebrows, or was she wearing no makeup for the sake of creativity. But when he heard Lu Sanlang's words, he couldn't help but feel a little nervous, and suddenly remembered Ah Liu's abnormal behavior these days.
However, before he could ask Lu Sanlang too many questions, the little fat man, whose tonnage was obviously increasing, slipped away like a gust of wind.
When they arrived at the bridal chamber, when Zhang Shou took off Zhu Ying's bright red veil, he saw a radiant face. The young lady might go out with a plain face or light makeup on occasion, but on this occasion, she was always good at dressing herself up and had carefully applied makeup since the morning to create the most perfect look for herself.
At this moment, Zhu Ying saw Zhang Shou's undisguised amazement as she wished, and she immediately smiled triumphantly, but the next moment, she saw that his face became a little strange. After being stared at in silence for a long time, she finally felt a little uneasy, and even thought that there was something wrong with her makeup.
