Hou Fu Di Daughter-in-Law

Chapter 47

It is Jiang Chenqi's intention to make lanterns and sell money to experience the life of ordinary small traders.

"I don't need to be far away from the capital. I can be an ordinary person at ease by putting on the airs of a high-ranking official. Dealing with ordinary people is interesting. When I was in the capital, I often saw customers bargaining with hawkers."

It's a pity that when she stood in front of the stall, the hawker would only kowtow in horror, and how dare she talk to Commander Jiang.Jiang Chenqi was interested in the lives of ordinary people, but she couldn't understand it when she was in the capital.

It turned out that Commander Jiang longed for the life of an ordinary peddler. Xie Jinghuai was a little surprised, "I'll help you handle the bamboo and help you."

With the help of Lord Hou, Jiang Chenqi's speed of making lanterns increased.

The lanterns she made did not match her treacherous reputation.Rabbit lanterns and carp lanterns are charmingly naive, unlike the lanterns made by the commander of the Imperial Army in the Beiya.

Jiang Yuyou walked over with a weird bug lantern, pointed at the fat rabbit lantern and laughed, "Miss, is this your lantern? It's not powerful at all, and children will like it."

The lanterns she makes are sold to children, and she doesn't know how to make complicated lanterns, just for fun, and she doesn't rely on selling lanterns for food.

"It's just right for children to like it, and I will ask my family to buy lanterns, so I can earn a little money to spend. But the bug lanterns you made, children will cry when they see it."

Could it be that the ugly worms are Gu worms raised by ginger fish.After getting acquainted with Jiang Yuyou, Jiang Chenqi has never seen her Gu worms, and her curiosity about Gu worms has not diminished.

Mentioning the worm lantern and shaking it a few times, Jiang Yuyou said proudly: "It's fun to make lanterns by yourself. My worm lantern is so majestic."

Hu Liuniang walked slowly, holding a mighty mountain ghost lantern, and laughed when she saw Jiang Chenqi making a lantern, "Miss Miss is really skillful, making lanterns is full of childlike fun."

Xie Jinghuai looked at the worm lantern, then at the mountain ghost lantern, and thought that Jiang Chenqi was the one with the purest mind.

On the streets separated by a wall, the people of the small town come and go.Vendors selling lanterns yelled loudly to attract customers to stop and buy.

The lazy peddler Jiang Chenqi didn't leave the stall until after dinner.Choose a location close to the stone bridge, sit under a big tree and wait for the guests to come to your door.

There was a loud cry of hawking, Xie Jinghuai sat beside Jiang Chenqi, pointing to the peddler not far away who was waving and dancing to attract customers, "Look at how hard that person is, in order to attract customers, he tried every means to attract many people."

Jiang Chenqi felt that she couldn't do it, so there was no need to go all out to sell lanterns, "If you can't sell them, you can give them to passing children. There are more children in the town today."

A child's cry sounded in her ear, Jiang Chenqi turned her head and saw Jiang Yuyou who was teasing the child.I found that the crying children were wearing special clothes, which were different from the children in small towns.

Standing up, she picked up the rabbit lantern and walked over, Jiang Chenqi handed the lantern to the child, "Yuyou is ignorant, I apologize to you on her behalf, this lantern is for you, please don't be angry."

The child took the lantern and grinned, rolled his eyes and asked again, "The rabbit lantern can't coax me well, Jiang Yuyou is too annoying to bully the child, you have to pay me a bunch of candied haws."

Jiang Chenqi smiled and bought two bunches of candied haws, one for the children and one for Jiang Yuyou.

Jiang Yuyou didn't feel ashamed at all, and ate delicious candied haws, "The kid in our cottage dares to leave his family and wander around alone, I think he deserves a beating."

The child's father found him, took off his shoes without saying a word, and beat the child regardless of Jiang Chenqi's obstruction.The child probably gained experience from being beaten often, and dodged like a monkey.

Seeing the child being taken away by his father, Jiang Chenqi smiled slowly, she is really a naughty child.

Lin Feng came with a basket full of Jiang Yuyou's favorite food, "Yuyou and I are selling lanterns, let Commander Jiang and Lord Hou look around, this kind of activity Lord Hou rarely participates in."

Jiang Yuyou, who had food, did not run around, but sat in front of the stall and ate.

Jiang Chenqi picked up the carp lantern and gave it to Lord Hou, and walked forward with the rabbit lantern, "A lot of mountain people have come, and they get along well with the townspeople. The harmony here is far beyond my imagination. I heard that the mountain people embankment People outside the mountain are not willing to deal with outsiders, and the town has today's harmonious situation, and County Magistrate Hu has contributed the most."

County magistrate Hu has served as county magistrate for several years, benefiting the people of one side proves that he has real skills, and he can step up and leave the town of worshiping the moon.

Xie Jinghuai didn't understand why magistrate Hu chose to stay instead of being promoted to a better place.

"Bayyue Town is the hometown of County Magistrate Hu, right? County Magistrate Hu is a talented and kind official. He didn't get promoted because he has no contacts in the court. I can solve this problem."

Rejecting Ming Yinghou's kindness for magistrate Hu, Jiang Chenqi said with a smile: "Magistrate Hu is not a person who pursues fame and wealth. Raising a daughter to accompany his wife to live a stable life is his pursuit. He doesn't need to be promoted and get rich. He is a man with a strong will. people."

Guessing that the county magistrate Hu obtained fame and became an official to prepare for the clansmen to go down the mountain, and also to secretly find out the truth about the collapse of the Zhenguo General's Mansion.With the Hu family as a bridge, the mountain people and the people in the small town gradually get along harmoniously.

County Magistrate Hu reminded Xie Jinghuai of his father, and said with a smile: "My father looks like a military commander at first glance, and has a delicate heart. Like County Magistrate Hu, he is a person who pursues an ordinary life. It is a pity that he is the heir of the Xie family and inherits the title It is the fate of the Xie family's children to go to the frontier to fight."

The children of the Chu family are also willing to fight in all directions to defend the country, but unfortunately they never have the chance again.

Jiang Chenqi didn't ask what Master Hou's pursuit was, and stood by the river to admire the lanterns floating along the river.

The lotus-shaped lantern wraps around a small piece of candle, undulating along the river.Candle light illuminates the lanterns, but the faint light cannot illuminate the water.

Jiang Chenqi said regretfully: "The lantern is very beautiful, but it's a pity that it can't be lit all the time, the candle will go out sometimes."

Xie Jinghuai said with a smile: "There are no immortal candles in the world. I heard that sharks can make candles, and they can be kept in the underground palace for thousands of years."

The cheers made Jiang Chenqi raise her head, and saw the lantern slowly rising into the sky.

There are more and more lanterns flying into the sky, and it seems that there are more shining stars in the sky. This kind of scenery is not often seen in the capital.

The strangely shaped lanterns flew into the sky, attracting cheers from the people on the ground, and the heartfelt laughter touched people's hearts.

Jiang Chenqi showed a faint smile, "I will live a good life in the small town in the future. The folk customs are simple and there are no fame and fortune disputes. I like it very well here."

Xie Jinghuai agrees with Jiang Chenqi's point of view, the county magistrate Hu has managed to turn Baiyue Town into a home for the people to live and work in peace.If I didn't come to the town in person, I wouldn't believe that there is such a happy place in the far southern Xinjiang.

"I also like the town of worshiping the moon. Commander Jiang, remember to let me know when you leave the capital, so that I can see you off. Maybe I will pack my bags and set off with you."

I thought Marquis Mingying was joking, how could Marquis put aside all the things in the capital and follow her to live in the small town.
