Dressed as a farmer group pet

Chapter 327 Chapter 326

The two happily shuttled among the crowd, completely forgetting about trivial matters, and only wanted to play happily.

The purse that Aunt Qian gave them was obviously prepared in advance, and there were a lot of copper plates and a tael of silver in it.

Enough for them to eat, drink and buy tonight.

"Brother, let's go release the river lantern!"

Seeing a lot of people walking in one direction with river lanterns in their arms, Xiaomi also dragged Wei Ziang to buy one.

It stands to reason that this river lantern can be made by oneself, but they are not prepared, so they can only buy it.

Xiaomi dragged Wei Ziang, quickly shuttled through the crowd, and soon arrived in front of the stall selling river lanterns.

The servant of the Liu family who was following the two of them had long since been dumped.

The river lanterns are similar in style, most of them are lotus-shaped, with a small candle in the middle.

"Both young masters and ladies, the river lamp costs five cents a piece. Do you want to buy it? I can light candles for you here."

The lamp seller was a little girl with a gentle voice, and there were a lot of materials for making river lamps beside her.

"Sister, you made these river lanterns yourself, you are so skillful."

The little girl was also very happy when she was praised: "Actually, the river lamp is very simple. It will be ready when you grow up a little bit. Do you want to buy one, little sister?"

"Not one, we want two." Xiaomi took one in each hand, and Wei Ziang had already counted ten cents.

The little girl who sold the river lantern lit the river lantern for them first, and then took the money.

"Be careful when you pass by, don't burn your hands, go over there, there are fewer people there."

The little girl pointed them in a direction, and indeed there were not that many people.

"Miss Xiaomi, Master Ziang, I found you, don't run too fast, be careful not to get lost."

The two servants who were left behind just now finally caught up, each holding the things that Xiaomi and Wei Ziang bought earlier.

"Don't worry, even if we get lost, just go to the north gate before Haishi."

Xiaomi smiled mischievously, then dragged Wei Ziang to the river.

At this moment, a lot of people had gathered by the river, and there were densely packed river lanterns in the river, which floated down from the upstream, passed through the entire Cheng County, and finally went to nowhere.

"Brother, look, Sister Liu and her fiancé." Xiaomi pointed to the diagonally opposite direction, where Liu Yajing and the young man just now were holding the same river lantern and putting it into the water.

Wei Ziang nodded, then pointed in another direction: "Over there are Second Sister and Brother Ze."

Sure enough, the two of them were also holding the same river lantern, and beside them was the servant girl of the Liu family.

Looking again, at another place, Aunt Liu Shuqian, their parents, older brothers and younger brothers are all together, and they are all setting off river lanterns.

With the addition of Xiaomi and the two of them, the whole family really got together.

However, the eyes of the other people are probably not as good as the two of them. Anyway, they watched the excitement for a while, and saw everyone set up the river lanterns and left, but they didn't find each other.

On their side, there were not many people before, but after waiting for a while, there were many people.

"Brother, let's let it go too."

Squatting on the steps by the bank, I carefully put the river lantern into the river, then clasped my hands in front of my chest, closed my eyes and made a wish.

When they opened it again, their river lanterns had been mixed with other river lanterns, and it was hard to tell who was who.

"Miss Xiaomi, Master Ziang, let's leave after the river lantern is set, the riverside is dangerous."

The two servants had been guarding behind them just now, for fear that they would be squeezed into the river during the pushing.

This kind of thing has not happened before.

"Okay, it's getting late, let's go to the gate of Beicheng first."

Wei Ziang pulled Xiaomi back and turned around. When he passed by a pastry shop, he bought some hot spots and gave them to the two servants who had been following them to protect their stomachs.

When I came to the gate of Beicheng, I saw that everyone was already waiting, and Liu Yajing's fiancé was also with her.

This is the first time for Xiaomi to come to the north of the city. This will make you see that compared to the bright lights on the street just now, it is very lively.

This side is even more magnificent.

The source of the river in the city is this lake. At this time, there are lanterns hanging around it, and there are several large boats on the lake, waiting for tourists to board.

Except for Liu Hongcai, the others were no longer wearing masks. Many of the passers-by around were taken aback when they saw them, and then walked away pretending that nothing happened.

"It's just in time, let's go, we are also on the boat. Today there is a flower boat performance on the lake, and it has nothing to do with Fengyue. It is a song and dance performance for appreciation. It looks good."

Aunt Qian greeted a few people to board the boat: "There are only a few of us on this boat today, and you don't have to be restrained. If you need anything, just tell the servants, and the cabin is usually prepared."

After speaking, he looked at Erniang again: "Erniang, are you seasick?"

If you have never been on a boat, it is easy to get seasick.

Er Niang shook her head: "I don't know either."

Aunt Qian waved to the side: "Bring me a pot of sour plum soup."

Then he said to others: "If you are seasick, you can drink some sour plum soup to relieve it."

Xiaomi was already running around on the deck curiously, and most of the maids and servants he met on the way were met at Liu's house in the afternoon.

She heard from Aunt Qian that because Grandpa Liu has been living in their house, only a few people were left to take care of the yard on Grandpa Liu's side, and the others were either dismissed or sent to their side.

This afternoon was for entertaining guests, so I specially sent servants from home.

There were still those people on the boat at the moment, obviously they had greeted them in advance, and no one would mention Uncle Liu's identity as the county magistrate.

Xiaomi's heart is clear, it seems that Aunt Qian has worked hard to make Liu Ze and Grandpa Liu feel comfortable and natural at their home.

From the reaction of the elder brother, it can be seen that he must have known it, maybe he knew it a long time ago, which shows that Uncle Liu and the others did not deliberately hide it.

Moreover, hiding their real identities and interacting with them will indeed get along more naturally for parents, without too many worries and tensions.

"Wow, little brother, look, what a beautiful boat! There are so many beautiful ladies on it!"

Xiaomi suddenly seemed to have discovered a new world, hopping and pointing to a luxurious flower boat not far away, and made a surprise sound.

There is also a plaque on the big boat, and Xiaomi can understand at a glance that this is a flower boat, a boat from Kabuki Workshop.

Aunt Qian also said just now that it was a pure song and dance performance. Looking at those beautiful ladies, even though they were well-dressed, they were all tightly dressed, without showing their arms or legs.

"No matter how it is on weekdays, the kabuki parlors on this day are pure performances, and there will be no explicit singing and dancing, and they are free, so children can watch them too."

Liu Yajing walked over at some point, heard what Xiaomi said, and explained it to her.

"Sister Liu, there are so many people, everyone likes it very much."

Not only are there many boats on the lake, even the lakeside is crowded with people at the moment.

Liu Yajing smiled and said: "That's right, those who can board the boat to perform at this time are some of the best prostitutes in the city, and many of them are young men. It's not cheap to watch them dance on weekdays."

"Look there, it's Qingyaofang's top card. She has excellent piano skills. She not only sells her skills but not her body, but also only opens her voice every three days. If you want to listen to her song, you would have to spend a hundred silver at least in the past."

"But today she also gave her voice for free. Many people came for her. Of course, not only her, but also others."

As she spoke, Liu Yajing pointed out to Xiaomi several top cards on the flower boat.

It was a little far away, and with the flickering candles and the sparkling lake, the faces of those people could not be seen clearly, but what could be seen was that the women were dressed in colorful clothes, but their behavior was not frivolous.

Xiaomi: "Sister Liu, you are so amazing, you know it so clearly."

After all, kabuki is from a lowly background. She thought that for an official lady like Sister Liu, she should be considered unpopular or looked down upon.

After all, it was written like this in TV novels before.

Liu Yajing smiled lightly and said: "These girls will perform on the lake almost every year during the Lantern Festival. I have watched it for many years, so I understand it."

Xiaomi nodded thoughtfully: "This is a good way to advertise."

Liu Yajing was stunned for a moment, then laughed: "I didn't think about it before, I just thought it would be nice to watch them dance and sing. Today I was reminded by you, Xiaomi, that I found out. Every now and then, it is said that the business of these kabuki workshops will be very good." Much better."

It's just advertising.

However, Xiaomi could tell that although Liu Yajing didn't mean to look down on these kabuki, she also didn't care too much about it.

Perhaps for these officials and young masters, these people are actually not much different from the neighbors who sell things at roadside stalls.

A burst of firecrackers sounded, and nearly ten boats slowly swam towards the lake.

Among the three flower boats, one is theirs, and only their Jiang and Liu families are there.

The other six boats were full of guests.

Liu Yajing also explained to the two of them by the way that these boats are actually owned by their own family, and they are mostly used as cargo ships to transport goods on weekdays.

However, when the twelfth lunar month enters every year, the boats will not go out, and people will clean them up, waiting for the rental on the Lantern Festival.

On weekdays, this ship also receives guests, but there are relatively few receptions, and only a few seats are reserved for a few guests with better contacts.

But this year, in order to entertain the Jiang family, I went to the post with other people and asked them to wear it elsewhere.

Liu Yajing said it lightly, but Xiaomi was speechless.

She always knew that Aunt Qian was in business.

Because court officials are not allowed to engage in business, Uncle Liu will definitely not take care of these things by himself.

Of course, Aunt Qian can also use Uncle Liu's identity to manage these things, which saves a lot of convenience and trouble.

Generally speaking, as long as you don't do illegal things, basically there will be no problems.

But what Xiaomi didn't guess was, is Aunt Qian so powerful?

Ten ships!
Ten cargo ships!

Even if this cargo ship is not particularly large, it can hold enough cargo!

It's no wonder that they spend a lot of money on weekdays. The average person really doesn't have such a big capital.
