After rebirth, the Queen and I are on the run.

Chapter 732 Is this birthday gift legal?

This move made the third village chief even more angry. He immediately rushed over and pointed at the girl in the red skirt and said, "Why did you hit Miss Yuling?!"

After hearing this, the girl in the red skirt turned and looked at the third village leader.

The third village chief was stunned when he saw this... Everyone wants this old thing!
Coincidentally, the woman in the red dress also came to hook him.

Mr. Qu Si said that the third leader was a bit of a mean person. He wanted to be a hero and save weak women, but he also wanted strong women to bow down to him.

Therefore, Fourth Master Qu generously prepared two baits for him, so that the Third Village Chief could enjoy them.

"Oh, why are you bullying her? She is a concubine's daughter who grew up eating the dowry my mother brought. What's wrong with me bullying her?" The girl in the red skirt snatched the whip from the old woman beside her and whipped the third village chief: "I will not only beat her, but I will also beat you for meddling in other people's business!"

Bang! The third village chief did not dodge and was hit on purpose.

When the whip came again, he raised his hand, grabbed the whip, and pulled it hard towards himself, and the woman in the red dress was pulled over.

"You, you actually know martial arts?" The woman in the red dress was shocked.

Miss Yuling on the ground raised her head and looked at the Third Village Chief with admiration: "Brother Third Village Chief, you are so awesome...but please don't bully me, please."

Not to mention the three village chiefs, just based on this plot, any man would be thrilled.

In the distance, Mr. Qu Si, who pretended to come to the Third Village Master to have a Lantern Festival banquet, was actually hiding in the car to watch the show: "..."

His eyes were almost going blind and he felt like vomiting!

Fortunately, these two women are experienced, otherwise they would not be able to continue the performance.

In fact, Yuling and Yutong were about to vomit, but Fourth Master Qu promised them that after completing this job, they would be able to become good people and get houses, shops and land to live out their old age in peace.

So they endured it!
The commotion lasted for another half a minute before Mr. Qu Si came out to save the situation.

When Li's parents learned that the Third Chief was the honored guest of Mr. Qu Si, they immediately scolded the red-skirted girl Li Yutong, and invited Mr. Qu Si and the Third Chief into their home and treated them well, which made the Third Chief very happy.

……

During this year's Lantern Festival, Xinda Street in Taifeng Town was also extremely lively, no less lively than the county town.

Because the four village heads' families, the Xue family, the Wen family, the Qu family, the Kang family, and the Guan family all set up lantern stalls, Wen Tao even took out two hundred taels of silver as a reward for anyone who guessed the lantern riddle.

The Qu, Kang, and Xue families also took out one hundred taels of silver to add to the fun.

Old Lady Guan took out fifty taels of silver as a reward for whoever guessed the riddle.

"The Wen family gave 200 taels of silver, and the other families gave 100 taels. Adding it all up, the money for this year's lantern riddles is nearly 1,000 taels of silver. If you don't come to see this rare treasure, you will die with regret!"

Because the reward was so huge, not only people from this town, but also people from neighboring towns and even the county came to join in the fun. By noon, the entire New Street was packed with people.

Hua Zongqi was furious and went to find Wen Tao, cursing him directly: "What do you want to do, Wen family? What if there are descendants of spies among these villagers, or Jin family assassins, and someone dies, can your Wen family afford it?!"

Mr. Wen Tao was startled, and he lowered his head and said, "Please calm down, General Hua. I just want to celebrate the Lantern Festival with the villagers and let them earn some money to spend."

Then he asked tentatively: "What should we do? Should we cancel the Lantern Festival, or ask the Wen family martial artist to help maintain order?"

"Humph, the villagers are all here, and you just canceled it? Are you deliberately playing a trick on the villagers?" It's not easy to make money nowadays, and Hua Zongqi doesn't want to ruin the villagers' chance to make money. After scolding Wen Tao, he said: "Send your Wen family's martial artists and servants to the streets to maintain order and protect the villagers. If something goes wrong, your Wen family will be the main culprit!"

He added: "Let the Qu and Kang families also send people to the streets to help!"

Wen Tao immediately agreed: "Okay, I'll arrange it right away." Only then did Hua Zongqi leave with satisfaction.

Three quarters of an hour later, the martial artists and servants of the three families of Wen, Qu and Kang all went to the streets. Together with the young men from the four major villages, the servants of the Xue family, the people from the Silifang, and a small flag of soldiers sent by the Hua Zongqi, they maintained order together and prevented any bad incidents from happening at the Lantern Festival on Xinda Street.

Adults brought their children to visit the Lantern Festival happily, and from time to time they would burst into exclamations: "Wow, I guessed it right, the answer is the white crane, and I can get one or two taels of silver for the lantern riddle!"

"Who guessed it?"

"It's Zhang Tongsheng from the county town!"

"Master Tongsheng, no wonder."

"Where is Mr. Pan from Taifeng Town? Did he guess the riddles and win the money?!"

"Oh, our old student Pan doesn't care about the money from the lantern riddles. He says it's a despicable trick used by merchants to play tricks on scholars. Any scholar who tries to earn this kind of money is committing depravity!"

Tsk, everyone who hears this feels sick.

But Mr. Pan has always been like this, and the people in Taifeng Town have gotten used to it. They continue to watch literate people guess riddles and win money, and they are so excited.

The Qin, Jiang, Xu, and Qiao families also had dinner early and brought their children out to join in the fun, but because they were worried about something happening, they only went to the lantern stalls of the Xue, Guan, and Lu families.

Among the families, Qin Xiaogu was the most successful. He guessed thirteen riddles correctly, won thirteen lanterns, and received ten taels of silver as riddle money, shocking everyone on the street.

"Which child won ten taels of silver? Make way for me! I have to go over and take a look!" Many people came to watch after hearing the news.

Grandpa Qin was afraid that it would be unsafe with so many people, so he hurriedly said goodbye to Madam Guan and took several families home.

Only after passing the sentry post halfway through the street did we get rid of the people who were following us.

Several families breathed a sigh of relief and went back to their homes to prepare to make Yuanxiao for dinner.

Jiang Dalang took the opportunity to give Qin Xiaomi the nine-color lantern he made: "Xiaomi, this is the lantern I made for you. Do you like it?"

Qin Xiaomi looked at the three fish-shaped lanterns connected together. Each lantern had three colors, and the three lanterns had a total of nine colors, which could barely be considered a nine-color lantern.

"It's very beautiful. You have a skillful hand." Qin Xiaomi took the lantern, played with it for half a minute, and said this unwillingly.

It was beautiful, and the person who made the lantern was very attentive, but it didn’t have any trace of the Dog Emperor’s craftsmanship that she was familiar with.

"As long as Xiaomi likes it." Jiang Dalang smiled, took out a long box and handed it to Qin Xiaomi: "Xiaomi, this is a birthday gift for you. You are one year older. This year Xiaomi will also live a happy and prosperous life without illness, disaster or trouble."

Misfortunes stay away from Susu, and only good things surround Susu.

"What is it?" Qin Xiaomi took the box, opened it, and after seeing what was inside, she slammed the box shut and looked around, fearing that someone might be peeping.

"Where did you get this? Is it legal?" Qin Xiaomi asked in a low voice, "You didn't steal it or embezzle it from the government, did you?"

There were actually two wild ginsengs that were over a hundred years old in the box... Without looking carefully, she could only conclude that they were at least a hundred years old, but the rich ginseng flavor told her that these might be two wild ginsengs that were over three hundred years old.

Seeing this, Jiang Dalang couldn't help laughing, and imitated her, approaching her, lowering his head and whispering to her: "Xiaomi, don't worry, they are legal, not government goods that I secretly took. One is a thank-you gift from Uncle Ahe and his men, and the other is something I found in Feizhai Mountain."

It was he who discovered the secret chamber in the bandit camp Yaotian Mountain and found several wild ginsengs that were more than 300 years old.

It was not excessive for him to leave one of these life-saving things for Su Su.

If he doesn't keep her, and the millet production is in danger in the future, will he just sit there and watch? He might as well die.
