Traveling through time and space to become a lady of a noble family, but she only wants to escape
Chapter 96 Great Victory
"Ah, I... I'll beg you right now." Bai Zhi also closed her eyes, her heart feeling empty.
Asking ancestors for blessings? Who are her ancestors? As Qiaoqiao said, she doesn't know anyone, so who would have the leisure to bless her?
Instead of asking others for blessings, it is better to ask yourself to be kind to yourself. Bai Zhi's mind moved, and she muttered silently: Bai Zhi bless me, I must live a happy life.
After eating and drinking, the four of them played Mahjong vigorously until it was completely dark. When the first firework went off outside, it was as if a street of people had grown out of the ground.
Amid the banging sounds of fireworks, Bai Zhi asked Lin Ruogui in a hoarse voice: "Madam Lin! Why is everyone out?"
Lin Ruogui didn't have the energy to shout, so he whispered into Bai Zhi's ear, "During the New Year, everyone goes to this street to set off fireworks, so that when you visit your neighbors on the first day of the new year, you'll be walking on red paper all the way, which is auspicious."
"Then let's go out and set off fireworks too! But I don't think I bought any fireworks. Qiaoqiao, did you buy any fireworks?"
Qiaoqiao didn't hear Baizhi's voice, but Baizhi saw that she was holding a big cardboard box in her arms and was waving at Baizhi, but she couldn't hear what she was shouting.
You don't need to listen to know that Qiaoqiao is going to ask them to go out and set off fireworks.
Bai Zhi helped Lin Ruogui up, gathered her clothes tightly, and said, "Let's go! Madam Lin! Let's go too!"
Lin Ruogui nodded happily.
There were crowds of people outside. Qiaoqiao held the box of fireworks and led the way with Lin Chuqi, forcing their way through. Qiaoqiao picked an open space by the river and shouted with full energy, "Set off the fireworks!"
The people around immediately made way for a circle of space in an orderly manner.
"Qiaoqiao is quite practical in applying what she has learned." Lin Ruogui said with a smile, "She is so smart. Given time, she will surely become a great person."
"I don't want her to become anything." Bai Zhi said calmly, "It's enough for her to live happily."
Lin Ruogui shook his head: "This is not a conflict. If there is a chance, why not ask her to be a great person who can live happily?"
Bai Zhi did not comment: "It is difficult for people to see who they are. If she wants to become a useful person, I will definitely not stop her. If she does not want to be sculpted, I can also support her for the rest of her life."
Lin Chuqi, who was not far away, took out a fire starter, turned around with Qiaoqiao, made a scissors sign, and shouted, "Say goodbye to the old and welcome the new! Happy New Year!"
Bai Zhi and Lin Ruogui smiled at them: "Happy New Year!"
Bang!
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, Bai Zhi was woken up by Qiaoqiao: "Miss! How can you fall asleep in the middle of staying up all night? Wake up! It's time to go to the temple fair!"
Bai Zhi held down Qiaoqiao's rebellious paw and said in a daze, "What kind of temple fair is opening so early in the morning..."
"It's already noon!"
One of the most lively things to do during the New Year in Beijing is the temple fair on the first day of the new year. Wanjia Street, Ludianzi Street and other large and small shopping streets will rush out to set up shops at noon when the sun is at its best. The four of them walked on Ludianzi Street. Bai Zhi bought Lin Ruogui a wooden wheel horse for children to ride, and the three of them took turns pushing the pony forward.
But the atmosphere at this temple fair seems a little different.
"Dear readers, listen to me!" At the open-air storytelling stall, the storyteller slapped the wooden stick, and a crowd of people gathered. Qiaoqiao pushed Lin Ruogui to the front, and the man next to him clapped his hands and said, "Today we don't want to hear anything else, just listen to the war in the north. I heard that we won a great victory?"
Baizhi's ears perked up, listening intently to the gossip in the crowd.
The storyteller said, "You have hit the nail on the head. Today I am going to talk about the war in the north. The north has been unstable for more than a year. In the past few months, the war has been fought step by step, and the people have been displaced, and the reputation of our Great Yan has been damaged. Until the day before yesterday, on the 29th day of the lunar year, when every household was looking forward to the New Year, hey, guess what happened?"
The crowd responded: "What's going on?"
"Our two great generals took advantage of the quiet night and led a hundred thousand troops to wipe out all of Di Zi's minnows!" The storyteller clapped the wooden stick again, "You want to know how it was so easy? I'll tell you quietly, there's a spy in our army."
The crowd was in an uproar. Bai Zhi swallowed subconsciously and clenched her hands in her sleeves. The storyteller continued, "Someone should ask, how can a spy be so treacherous? Don't worry, let's listen later. It was a dark and windy night. The 100,000-strong army was divided into several small groups and hid in Beidi County. They used a strategy of breaking the whole into pieces. It happened that the Seventh Prince went to Beidi to comfort the troops. Who was the Seventh Prince? It was obvious at a glance that it was not safe to break the whole into pieces. If the enemy attacked, they would not be able to support them in time if they were scattered. They would be scattered with a chopstick. So the Seventh Prince said to the general..." The storyteller imitated him vividly, "General, what should we do if the enemy attacks? The general said, rest assured, Seventh Prince, it's so cold, the enemy won't attack. As soon as he said this, the soldier next to him was unhappy. He retorted with a red face and thick neck, who said they wouldn't attack? Our Khan said that he will launch a sneak attack in a few days!"
Everyone who was listening laughed out loud. The details of the military would not be spread among the people like this. This was obviously a joke made up to amuse everyone during the New Year.
"The spy was caught in one fell swoop. After catching him, the Seventh Prince came up with an idea. Since Dizi wanted to attack us, we should take advantage of their unpreparedness and attack them. In this way, the 100,000-man army invaded Beidi and won a great victory. After this battle, I guess Dizi will have to behave himself for a few years."
After Yishu finished speaking, the crowd gradually dispersed. Qiaoqiao said happily, "That's great. There won't be any more refugees now."
Lin Ruogui raised his sleeve to wipe away his tears: "Finally, finally the Northland is not as devastated as the Thirteen States."
Lin Chuqi patted Lin Ruogui's back to calm him down: "Mom, the doctor said you can't get too emotional."
"Okay, okay, let's go."
Qiaoqiao asked, "Wait a minute, where's the lady?"
Lin Chuqi pointed forward: "It's over there."
As soon as the storyteller finished speaking, Bai Zhi rushed over in two steps and grabbed the man to interrogate him.
"Girl, we just received the letter yesterday. We only heard from the people in the north that there was a spy. I really don't know who this spy is." The storyteller looked embarrassed. "If I knew, would I make up a story here?"
Bai Zhi asked, "At least you know whether it's a boy or a girl, right?"
"Oh, girl, you take me for a fairy. I don't even know whether the spy is a human or a dog, so how can I know whether he is a man or a woman? Don't make it difficult for me. When the news spreads in a month or so, you will naturally know." The storyteller put away the wake-up stick and went back to the house. Baizhi was left alone, muttering to herself: "Impossible, his brain can't be damaged... and didn't Changfeng say that he would show his spirit..."
