After picking up the daughter of the lucky star, the whole village prospered

Ying Bao sneaked a look at the girl in green, and sure enough, she saw that she was shocked, then her eyes turned red, and she turned and ran out of the shop without even taking the chestnut cake.

The girl in red who followed her did not leave, stared at Jiang Quan for a while, covered half of her face with a handkerchief, pointed to the shelf and said, "Brother Jiang Quan, I will also buy a box of chestnut cakes."

Jiang Quan stuffed the green-clothed girl's pastries to her: "Just eat one box for the two of you."

These two young ladies are both daughters of Panji Silk Shop, but the one in green is the concubine's daughter, and the one in red is the concubine's daughter.

The concubine's daughter has a lot of money, but the concubine's daughter has no money.

The reason why Jiang Quan knew so much was also because the two girls often came to the shop to buy this and that, and he saw it with his piercing eyes.

The girl in red blushed, gave Jiang Quan a slight blessing, and ran away with the pastry box in her arms.

Yingbao secretly observes the second cousin, seeing that his face does not change, he knows that this guy is not enlightened.

It is estimated that the girl in red will pay Southeast by mistake if she has a heart.

"Yingbao, Yuanzheng, I don't want to go home." Jiang Quan said to his little cousin: "Business is going well during the Chinese New Year, I want to stay here to look after the shop."

Yingbao: "But our goods are all sold out, and other pastry shops are also closed, so what do you do with it?"

Jiang Quan chuckled: "I'll just set up a turntable at the door and do Guanpu."

"Guanpu?"

Ying Bao lowered her face: "That's gambling, and we're not short of money, how can we make a living like that?"

Jiang Quan scratched the back of his head and muttered softly: "If you can do it for a few days a year, let's try."

The imperial court expressly prohibits traders from doing this kind of gambling, but they will let it go for a few days during the Chinese New Year and holidays, so that the people can enjoy themselves.

Yingbao knew that the second cousin was determined to do a Guanpu business, so he said: "That's fine, I'll come too when the time comes."

"Haha! I knew you wanted to play too." Seeing his little cousin let go, Jiang Quan jumped up happily, and then said in a low voice, "I've already bought the turntable, let's try it later."

"Buy it? Where did you put it?" The kid actually cut it first and then played it.

Jiang Quan asked Er Ni to look after the shop, and he dragged his little cousin to the backyard, and brought out a big colorful turntable from his room.

The turntable is about five feet wide, and fan-shaped patterns of various colors are painted on it. Each pattern is different in size, and the smaller the prize, the better.

The colors are divided into six types: black, red, orange, blue, green, and white, and the sizes vary among them.

"Look at this!"

Jiang Quan demonstrated to his little cousin. "You turn the turntable quickly, yes! That's it, whichever pattern I shoot with the arrow, I will get the kind of product."

He raised a bow and arrow and fired it at the turntable.

Snapped!
The arrow hit the turntable made of wooden boards, Yingbao stopped the crank to check what the second cousin shot.

I saw arrows poking on the white pattern.

The white pattern is also the most pattern on the turntable, which means that there are no prizes.

Ying Bao pulled out the arrow and threw it to Jiang Quan, asking him to try again.

As a result, Jiang Quan shot a total of ten arrows, five of which hit white, four of which hit green, and only one of which hit cyan.

"Second cousin, you can set the prize according to this ratio."

The highest prize should also be chosen carefully, the value should not be too low or too high, otherwise the family will lose money.

Jiang Quan smiled and said: "I know, I will be ready when the time comes."

Ying Bao glanced at him and said, "I don't want the money you earn, and I guess the eldest brother won't either, but you can't be addicted to it."

"How is it possible? Guanpu will be open for three to five days, I can't indulge in it even if I want to."

Jiang Quan put away the bow and arrow, and moved the turntable back to his room.

On the 22nd day of the twelfth lunar month, Jiang Cheng got married.

Before dawn, nine carriages and mule carts set off from Dongchen Village, carrying bride price to the county seat to welcome their relatives.

The villagers didn't see the exact amount of the dowry, but when the welcoming team came back, the woman's dowry was carried down from the carriage for a total of 36 loads, which shocked the whole village.

These 36 dowries are all placed on the bright side, and items such as silk cloth, silverware and copper coins are simply dazzling.

The woman's relatives who came to see off the relatives also carried bamboo baskets and threw copper coins and candies to the crowd, which immediately attracted children to snatch them up.

Jiang Cheng, dressed in happy clothes, helped his new daughter-in-law down from the carriage, and everyone was amazed again.

"Oh, this girl is so good-looking, she looks like an empress in the palace, and Dacheng is really a good-looking man."

Second Aunt Wang praised her without hesitation, her gaze swept over Chu Man who was standing not far away intentionally or unintentionally.

Someone echoed: "That's right, look at Dacheng, tsk tsk, he didn't show it in the past, but now he is really a good-looking talent, he is three points more handsome than your son."

"Haha! Of course, everyone in the Jiang family is good-looking, and now they have made a lot of money. Any girl who can marry into the Jiang family is blessed by the ancestors."

The women talked vigorously, and they didn't forget to grab a wave of candy coins.

One of them even snatched a silver key, and he laughed so hard that he couldn't see his teeth. "It's still Jiang's family who handle things grandly, even throwing money!"

"Hey, you must have one or two of these, right?" Someone enviously said.

"No, Jiang Cheng opened a shop in the county and made a fortune. He bought a big house with two entrances at a young age, tsk tsk, a proper rich man."

Everyone laughed and laughed for a while, until the bride was welcomed into the Jiang family compound.

Looking at the newlyweds, Chu Man almost gritted her silver teeth, turned around, and walked home angrily.

On the way, I ran into Chen Zhao who was carrying Xu Bao, gave her a hard look, and shouted, "What are you doing with the brat? Is the meal ready?"

Not to be outdone, Chen Zhao gave her a white look: "Let's go to Jiang's house with grandparents to have dinner, not at home!"

Chu Man became angry, and reached out to hit Chen Zhao: "You have something to eat, so what should I eat? Go back and cook!"

No matter how weak she was, she knew she couldn't go to Jiang's house for dinner, otherwise she wouldn't be ridiculed to death.

Chen Zhao couldn't dodge before she slapped her across the face. He was so angry that he let go of Xu Bao and slammed into Chu Man, directly hitting Chu Man's belly.

"Ouch!" Chu Man fell to the ground on his back, clutching his stomach and wailing.

Chen Zhao spat at her, dragged his younger brother to Jiang's house, and let Chu Man fall to the ground and howl.

This woman is used to pretending, and he doesn't want to talk to her at all.

The Jiang family has already set up dozens of tables of flowing water banquets, entertaining all the old and young in the village.

Of course, Nanpo West Village was also notified, and everyone rushed over.

Even the blind father of Li Dayong and Li Eryong was helped to sit on the banquet and eat wine.

The wine is rice wine brewed by Jiang Dalang himself. It is sweet and sour and delicious, and the elderly and children can taste a few sips.

Long before his son's engagement, Jiang Dalang asked his wife to cook rice and start brewing rice wine. He brewed two large vats, which are now in use.

Yingbao also tasted this rice wine, and found it to be better than the fruit wine made by herself, with the mellow aroma of rice in the sweet and sour taste.

Or, make some for yourself?

Just as she was thinking, Chu Chu suddenly called her: "Ying Bao! Ying Bao! Come here!"

Yingbao got up from the banquet and ran outside: "Sister Chuchu, what's the matter?"

Chu Chu said anxiously: "Chu Man seems to have had a miscarriage, go and have a look."
