Early in the morning on the Lotus Festival, Yunling went to Liu Sanniang's embroidery workshop.

Unfortunately, Liu Sanniang was not in the shop. The waiter who opened the door told Yunling that Liu Sanniang's son suddenly fainted at home last night. She had invited a doctor home overnight and he probably wouldn't come to the shop this morning.

"That's not a coincidence. In that case, please keep these two hand ropes. When Sister Liu comes, tell her that I gave them to her."

Yunling decided to stay in Xinzi County for a few more days. She originally wanted to take the opportunity to make a fortune. Later, she realized that Liu Sanniang might have ideas about "joining hands", so she made an appointment to show her today.

Since Liu Sanniang had something to do and missed her appointment, she would just stick to her original plan.

Returning to the inn, Yunling went to find Tang Zifu and asked her to accompany her out.

Selling bracelets was too much for her to handle on her own. Tang Zifu was already eleven at least, so she could help.

It's not that she wants to exploit child labor, it's just that there are not many people in the Tang family who can sell goods on the street, and Sister Qingdai is willing to accompany her. However, her health is not good, and Yunling doesn't want to tire her.

"Sister, I'll go with you!" Tang Zifu agreed.

She didn't care why Yunling took her out, she was right to follow anyway.

Mrs. Cao immediately began to envy her daughter when she could go out to have fun. However, she was warned by the old man not to go out casually, which inevitably made her feel unbalanced.

"It's just a trip, why are you so happy? Be careful if I sell you, you still have to count the money!" She whispered.

Yunling didn't want to talk to her at first, but when she saw that she came to her door, she was not polite.

He said, "Uncle, since you also want to go out, then come and go out with me!"

Putting aside the memory of the original person, Yunling couldn't respect the fact that the Cao family was not involved in childbirth and also liked to care about the family.

The Tang family is like this now. Even the Wu family is busy working every day, either helping to twist flower petals or doing embroidery, trying to earn as much money as possible to support the family. Only the Cao family not only eats but does not work, she also often complains about her hair. Complaining is really a bit bad.

We can't let this pair of "crouching dragon and phoenix chicks" go on like this!

Tang Yuanzhi is still recovering from his injuries and will be released for now.

Mr. Cao, you have to learn to earn your own living.

Hearing Yunling say that she wanted to take her out, Mrs. Cao was happy at first, then remembered Old Mrs. Tang's instructions, and said a little uneasily: "Well, the old lady won't let me and your uncle go out."

Yunling smiled harmlessly, "It's okay, I'll tell you."

The Wu family had known Yunling's plan for a long time and had been prepared to accompany her. Unexpectedly, she only wanted to take Cao and her daughter out. Shen Qixiang immediately jumped out to object, "Miss, I will go with you. .”

"Grandma Xiang, just stay in the inn with grandma. The three of us are enough."

Chen Qixiang insisted, "Then you choose between me and Qing Dai to go with you."

Yunling: "..." Well, it becomes a multiple-choice question.

She had no choice but to bring Shen Qixiang with her.

Before leaving the house, Mrs. Tang said again: "Take Lao Qi with you."

Yunling: "...Okay."

June 24th is the Lotus Festival, also known as the Lotus Festival.

Originally, the aristocratic families in Ruidu found a reason to hold banquets. In the midsummer, visiting the lake and admiring flowers can not only relieve the heat but also provide a gathering for recreation. It is very popular. Later, this elegant event gradually spread to other places. Over the years, it became a festival by convention.

On this day, men, women and children can meet to play by the lake where lotus flowers are in full bloom. If there is no lake, they can enjoy it along the river. It doesn't matter whether there are lotus flowers in the river or not. Officials from all over the country would go to the river to get some lotus flowers to enjoy the scenery on this day, so that the officials and the people could enjoy themselves together to cool off the summer heat.

Xinzi County has long ago designated Nanfeng River as a lotus viewing area for the Lotus Festival, which is the river south of Nanfeng Inn.

However, Nanfeng Inn is located on the lower reaches of the river, and the place where everyone enjoys it is still upstream, so there is still a long way to walk there.

Yunling originally wanted to drive the mule cart, but thought about it later and decided against it.

It is said that during the Lotus Festival, not only people from the city would come to enjoy it, but also people from villages and towns outside the county would like to come to join in the fun. Coupled with some vendors selling toys, both sides of the river would be very crowded, and it would be worse than a mule cart. Even if a person walks fast, it would be troublesome if he gets startled.

Yunling took the lead and Lao Qi walked behind holding the wooden box.

Ms. Cao asked again, "What's in the box?"

The Tang family didn't call her when they were making flowers, so she didn't know the purpose of coming to the river today. She just thought she was there to watch the fun.

"Auntie, please be patient. When we get there, even if you don't want to know, I will make it clear."

Ms. Cao rolled her eyes, thinking that her niece was getting better and better at telling people off.

Yunling thought about the grand occasion of those modern temple fairs and knew that if she arrived late, she might not even be able to grab a stall, so she walked very quickly.

After walking for about a quarter of an hour, the group finally reached the upper reaches of the Nanfeng River.

A wide bridge connects the other side of the river.

At this time, people were already busy in the open spaces on both sides of the bridge.

Many stalls were opened one after another selling lotus leaf flower baskets, Tang Dynasty people, and peach wood hairpins.

Yunling found a piece of land, shook off the furoshiki that Chen Qixiang carried and laid it out. She took out the bracelets from the wooden box and arranged them neatly one by one.

"What is this?" Ms. Cao looked surprised.

Then he exclaimed: "I said, eldest niece, what are you doing? Our family doesn't want to be a trafficker!"

Scholars, farmers, industry and merchants, those who are in business are cheap. She, a woman who is not very illiterate, knows this, but I don't believe that Yunling would not know it if she reads every day.

She grabbed Tang Zifu and walked a few steps away, wishing she could end the relationship immediately.

Yunling didn't answer her question, she just raised her eyes and asked her, "For dinner, I have a whole-grain steamed bun and a bowl of braised pork. Which one do you choose?"

Mrs. Cao's face turned pale and she said harshly: "It's not like our family is really out of money. The old man must still have money, so why do we need to eat whole-grain steamed buns?"

"You're just willing to become a merchant, but you actually coaxed Fu'er and me to follow you. What are you worried about? I want to go back and tell the old man!"

Yunling said nothing, but pointed at Lao Qi who was squatting aside.

The meaning is obvious.

"Mom, you can't say that! We have no money at home, and my sister led us to earn money to buy food. She did nothing wrong!"

Tang Zifu shook off Cao's hand and ran back to Yunling.

"You, what do you know!" Mrs. Cao was furious. Seeing the eyes of the people around her, she had to take a few steps closer and said to Yun Ling in a low voice, "If you want to set up a stall, you can set up a stall. Fu'er and I won't do it." , we want to go back.”

Yunling said, "From now on, the Tang family will have to fend for themselves. If you don't contribute, we won't be able to get a sip of water, let alone coarse grain buns."

She stared at Mrs. Cao and said word by word: "You and uncle, walk back to Shanwan Village from here."
