The black-bellied peasant girl is reborn, and her weird relatives are mad

When everyone heard this, they rushed towards the north of the city.

There is a stall on a large open space near the north bridgehead of the city, and the stall is brightly lit by colorful lights.

Wang Laoqi was in front of the scene, greeting people who came to watch the lanterns and patiently explaining the rules of the game to them. Lancao was on the other side explaining the revolving lantern in front of them. The lantern was very large, and each time it moved through a pavilion, it was a beautiful picture, followed by music that matched the story in the picture, attracting many children to come and watch.

Tang Zhongbai accompanied Jiang Muxia and helped her sell lanterns.

Tang San and Tang Si spontaneously helped to maintain order, but Hu Daxin was nowhere to be seen.

"It seems that your workshop will take the lead this year!" Tang Zhongbai said with a smile.

"Don't be too confident, maybe there will be something even more exciting!" Jiang Muxia looked at Tang Zhongbai in front of her in a daze. She remembered the Lantern Festival in the eleventh year of Yuanhe in her previous life.

At that time, she made a simple lantern at home, secretly lit it at night, and made a wish to the lantern. She was discovered by her mother, who not only confiscated her lantern, but also scolded her.

Less than two months after the Chinese New Year, accidents happened to all five members of her family, until she was the only one left.

Jiang Muxia raised her head and looked at him. Fortunately, God gave her another chance, allowing her to avenge the murder of her relatives in her previous life.

As those evil people died one by one, she felt relieved. All she had to do for the rest of her life was live a good life and cherish the people around her.

Now that her family members are all by her side, the tragic experiences of her previous life will never happen again, and she has become content.

"Girl, I want that little monkey, girl..." The woman in front of the stall called her twice, and she came to her senses and quickly took down a monkey-shaped lantern and handed it to the woman, "Tao'er, take the money, ten cents."

The woman paid the money, took her daughter's hand and walked away, muttering, "You were born in the year of the monkey, so I bought you a monkey lantern. Are you happy?"

"Thank you, mother. I like it very much."

Jiang Muxia watched the mother and daughter gradually walk away, and the corners of her lips rose unconsciously.

"Hey," Tang Zhongbai leaned over and asked her in a low voice, "You were distracted just now, what were you thinking about?"

Jiang Muxia glared at him, "Guess?"

Tang Zhongbai frowned, pretending to be thinking hard, pretending to be suddenly enlightened, "You are not thinking about me!"

Jiang Muxia rolled her eyes, and when she saw someone coming to buy lanterns, she smiled and greeted them.

"Miss Jiang, is your business good?" Hu Daxin walked slowly towards the stall with a woman who was about the same size as him, and teased her with a smile.

"Brother Hu is here. This is my sister-in-law, right? I was busy and couldn't make it to your wedding. Today, I'd like to take advantage of the holiday to wish you a happy marriage and everything goes well."

"Thank you." The woman nodded with a smile.

Jiang Muxia looked at the woman's face and couldn't help but stare at her face for a few more seconds. The woman felt uncomfortable being stared at.

"Miss Jiang, what's wrong? Is there something on my face?"

Jiang Muxia smiled awkwardly and laughed dryly twice to ease the embarrassment, "Sorry sister-in-law, I see that your nose is a little big and your face is a little swollen. Are you... pregnant?"

Hu Daxin and his wife were startled for a moment, then laughed out loud, "Miss Jiang, you have a really sharp eye. You just diagnosed this yesterday. How did you figure it out?"

"Secret?" Jiang Muxia pretended to be mysterious and said, "Congratulations, this year is the Year of the Horse, I will give my sister-in-law a lantern with the zodiac sign of the horse. I wish you will give birth to a healthy, smart and clever horse baby."

"Thank you, thank you." The two took the lanterns, and Hu Daxin took his wife's arm and went somewhere else.

Tang Zhongbai looked at her curiously, and Jiang Muxia smiled and said, "Don't ask. I've seen a lot of country girls. You can tell when a woman has a big reaction during pregnancy. You men are careless and naturally don't notice these details."

It was very lively over at Wang Laoqi's place, with everyone scrambling to answer the questions. Perhaps their levels were not good enough, and there were boos from the crowd from time to time.

At this time, Jiang Muxia heard someone coming to Lancao's stall and asking, "Girl, are you selling this revolving lantern?"

"Please wait a moment. I will ask our family head."

Jiang Muxia hurried over and saw that the person asking the question was a middle-aged man in silk clothes. She had never seen this person before, but from his accent, he was undoubtedly a local.

I wonder what he wants to do with such a big revolving lantern?

"Uncle, you can sell them, but you can only take them away after we finish the light show. Is that okay with you?"

The middle-aged man agreed immediately, "This lamp is priced at three hundred and fifty taels. How do you think of this price..." She spoke carefully, fearing that she would scare people away after she mentioned the price.

"Sure, I don't know when the light show will end, I'll come pick it up in person then?"

"Around midnight. If it's not convenient for you, I can deliver it to your door." Jiang Muxia was full of sincerity.

"Don't bother, I'll come get it when the time comes. Bye."

The middle-aged man paid the money to Jiang Mutao and left.

Jiang Muxia felt strange. Why was this man so strange? He looked very impressive, so he must be from a wealthy family. But families like them made their own lanterns. If they couldn't do it, they would order them in advance. After midnight, the lantern festival would end and the Lantern Festival would be over. Why did he put such a big revolving lantern at home?

Tang Zhongbai called Tang San over and whispered some words in his ear. Then he disappeared in front of the stall and chased after the middle-aged man.

"Don't worry, nothing will happen with me here." Tang Zhongbai said.

About an hour later, Tang San hurried back, walked to the lantern stall, and reported to Tang Zhongbai, "Sir, I saw him go into the Wei family and meet the head of the Wei family, Wei Dong."

"It's him?" Jiang Muxia was surprised. Could it be that he just wanted to buy a toy for his child who was less than three months old?

Tang Zhongbai laughed dumbly, "He is helping you!"

Jiang Muxia smiled and said, "Then I have to thank him solemnly when I see him. He has a lot of money, so it won't be too hot for me to take it."

When midnight arrived, the middle-aged man came with the lantern as promised, and he was accompanied by two helpers.

Jiang Muxia bowed to him and thanked him, "Uncle, please thank the head of the Wei family for me."

The middle-aged man did not feel embarrassed and laughed generously, "Miss Jiang is really smart. You figured it out. I will definitely pass on the message. Goodbye."

Wang Laoqi's competition was also over. The winner was a young girl dressed elegantly. According to Wang Laoqi, there was a sissy man in red clothes beside the girl. It was this man who gave her advice and the girl beat everyone.

Otherwise, I’m afraid I’ll lose the first prize tonight.

Jiang Muxia and Tang Zhongbai looked at each other and found that it was Cao Junan. The girl accompanying him must be from his Qinghuanju.

He is really interesting. He openly takes the girls from the building out for a stroll, not afraid of being seen by his old man and having his legs broken.

I heard that the Cao family’s house rules are stricter than those of all the wealthy families in the county.

There were only a few lanterns left, so Jiang Muxia ordered that the remaining ones be distributed to the craftsmen who were helping on site. The workshop would take a break tomorrow and resume work the day after tomorrow.

Jiang Muxia kept Wang Laoqi and said to him, "Uncle Wang, it's spring now and the weather is getting warmer. We're going to do lantern business in the future, so we'll have to use bamboo. Please hire some people and start planting bamboo in a few days! I remember there's a large barren mountain next to the river in your village. Go back and see how many acres it is. If it doesn't work, we can buy the barren mountain and plant bamboo all over it."

Wang Laoqi nodded, "Yes, we should plant them. Otherwise, they will be used up sooner or later. Leave it to me, and you can just wait and see!"

"Thank you for your hard work, Uncle Wang."

"You're welcome. You're paying me, not working for nothing. I'm really glad that I encouraged you to start this small business. I didn't expect that it would find me a good job. This is much better than working at the ferry."

Wang Laoqi whispered to her that the biggest lanterns on the stall had all been bought by Qing Huan Ju. Even Xiu Yue Lou in the west of the city had bought two of the Spring Lantern and Flowery Lanterns.

Jiang Muxia nodded. It seemed that the lamps in their workshop were unanimously recognized by everyone.

Jiang Muxia's eyes turned, and she ordered: "Uncle Wang, I'm afraid that some merchants from other places will come to our workshop in the next two days. Please receive them well. If they make any requests, you just need to reply to them. We can cooperate, but they can only supply us exclusively. Under the guarantee of the same quality of goods, the price must be the same as our workshop. If they don't agree, forget it."

"it is good."

It was late at night, and the pedestrians on the street gradually dispersed. The cool night breeze blew, and everyone quickly packed up and went home.

Jiang Muxia held a small mouse lantern with eyes flashing with ghostly eyes, and walked side by side with Tang Zhongbai towards the south of the city. Behind them, Tang San and Tang Si followed from a distance.

The yellowish light from the lanterns hanging in front of the shops on the street gave the whole street an ambiguous feeling.

The two walked together, neither speaking a word.
