The Peasant Girl’s Splendid Manor

Chapter 98 Lantern Festival (1)

If these people had discussed it in a good voice, Mo Yan would not have been reluctant to spend eighty taels to build the ancestral hall, but her family's money was not brought by the strong wind. Whoever was the last to know about this would be forced to take out it by a group of people. Money, who would be willing to take out this large sum of money without feeling blocked?

There must be a limit to how much you can help others. People like these will not be tolerated. Otherwise, if there is any difficulty in the future, they will ask her family to help. Will they help or not? If you feed their appetite, there will be countless troubles in the future!

Fortunately, the patriarch of the clan, Mo Fang, is not so stupid that she knows enough is enough. Otherwise, she would have to build a ancestral hall to worship only the direct elders of their clan, cut off relations with these people, and exist as an independent clan. Such a thing would be impossible. Not without.

In a blink of an eye, it’s the seventh day of the first lunar month. On this day, the market reopens. Not only can businesses open their doors, but also small traders can set up stalls in the streets and alleys. The Mo family’s vegetable business has begun again.

During this period, every household is tired of eating big fish and meat, so they want to eat more light vegetables to clear their stomachs. In addition, Mojia has several more types of vegetables. Compared with years ago, business is better. The total daily income is as much as eighty taels. Every time I return home, the family counts money around the table. It is so hard to count money until my hands cramp.

“Dad, tomorrow is the Lantern Festival. I heard that Qushui holds a lantern festival every year. It’s very lively. Let’s go and have a look then!”

After counting the money that day, Xin'er enthusiastically talked about the news she heard from the neighbors and looked at her father expectantly.

Before Mo Qingze could speak, Zhen'er asked excitedly: "Second sister, are you telling the truth? Will there be juggling or guessing lantern riddles?"

"There should be. Anyway, I heard it's very lively and there are people everywhere!" Xin'er said uncertainly.

At this time, Li Yan interrupted: "There is also a lantern festival every year in my hometown. Rich people will invite opera singers and jugglers to play on the street. People from all over the country will come to watch it. It is so crowded. , it’s really lively.”

Hearing this, Mo Qingze frowned and said, "It's easy to get into trouble if there are too many people. It's better not to go. If you want to play, wait for two days and dad will take you around."

Mo Yan nodded in agreement and said to the disappointed siblings: "Sister, I also heard that children are kidnapped every year during the lantern festival. You two are still young and good-looking. When there are more people, it will be chaotic. We might be targeted by kidnappers, so we won’t join in the fun.”

This is not to scare the siblings. After several months of washing in the spiritual spring water, and coupled with their good-looking appearance, the two little guys are pink and tender, and they can easily become the target of kidnappers.

Although their father and sister disagreed, the two little guys really couldn't resist the temptation to have fun at the lantern festival. Xin'er tugged on Mo Qingze's sleeves and begged: "Dad, we will all go then. My brother and I will definitely go." Follow you obediently and don't run around, kidnappers don't dare to blatantly rob people!"

Zhen'er also hugged Mo Yan's arm, blinked her big eyes, and said pitifully and cutely: "Sister, good eldest sister, just promise us this time, if it doesn't work, tie a rope around Zhen'er, Zhen'er It won’t be lost.”

The two little guys were usually very well-behaved and never made excessive demands. This was the first time that they begged so hard that Mo Yan and Mo Qingze couldn't bear to refuse, so they finally agreed to their request.

Since the whole family is going, naturally we cannot leave a little girl Li Yan at home.

So Mo Yan warned again and again: "Then it's agreed that tomorrow you three must follow the adults every step of the way and you must not leave. If you can't do this, I won't let you go out again."
