Traveling through ancient times, I led my family to prosperity

Why did Cui suddenly talk about Lanhua? Zhang and Xiaolan exchanged glances, and after hearing Cui finish her words, the mother and daughter understood that Cui was trying to get back at Lanhua. Cui had misunderstood what Zhang had said to Cui, and thought that Zhang was picking a fight. Because there were also lanterns in the town, but Lanhua had never invited them to see the lanterns.

Xiao Lan was a little speechless. Cui's words were just lies. But Xiao Lan knew she couldn't tell the truth, so she pretended to be stupid and said, "Grandma, what are you talking about? Why don't we understand? I came here with my mother today to invite you to the capital to watch the lanterns. Why are you saying bad things about my aunt... My mother and I don't understand what you are saying. I am like my mother, stupid... If you don't want to go, don't go. We won't force you. My mother and I will leave now." Then Xiao Lan jumped off the kang and pulled Cui up.

"Grandma, please don't be angry with my aunt. No matter what happened, it's over. There's no overnight grudge between mother and mother." Xiao Lan walked to the door and kindly turned back to advise Cui.

Cui sat on the kang with a sullen face.

Xiao Lan took Zhang and happily walked out of the old house. She couldn't help laughing on the way home.

It was obvious that Cui was mad this time. Thinking back to Cui's expression just now, Xiao Lan couldn't help but hum a song. After returning home, Zhang told Sheng Xuan about Cui's failure to go to see the lanterns. "I didn't say anything at the time, but her grandmother was too suspicious and kept saying that her aunt had a hard life, as if our family hated her. If she hadn't mentioned it, I wouldn't have even thought of mentioning it. After she said that, it made me even more angry."

Zhang was telling the truth. Ever since she married into the old Sheng family, she had been at odds with Lanhua. Zhang was simple and kind-hearted. She had no expectations of Lanhua. But Cui mentioned the past to cover up the truth. If she hadn't mentioned it, Zhang would not have remembered the bad things Lanhua had done.

"She said that life was hard and the place was small, so she didn't let us go... In the past, the second son often stayed at her place... The old lady is fooling us as the second son. If she didn't bring it up today, we would have continued to live in confusion. But the old lady insisted on bringing it up today. She wanted to use her identity to make me agree with what she said. Tell me, what is the old lady thinking..."

"At the beginning, I told you not to go. I went to tell her because I was afraid you would be angry," Sheng Xuan said helplessly, "The child's grandmother is that kind of person. Let's just forget about it. If you still get angry over such a small matter, how can we live with it?"

Zhang rolled her eyes at Sheng Xuan and said, "You think clearly. I was mentally prepared when I went to the old house. If I still get angry because of what she said, then I have lived in vain these days... Now I am just thinking about how we got through those days in the old house..."

Xiao Lan said quietly, "Just get through it day by day."

Zhang and Sheng Xuan couldn't help but laugh when they heard what Little Master Xiaolan said.

"Mom, then you're not angry anymore?" Xiao Lan asked.

"Don't be angry anymore. It's not worth it." Zhang waved her hand and looked at Xiaolan. Thinking of how Cui's face turned pale because of Xiaolan's anger, Zhang thought about it and felt that there was no need to tell Shengxuan about this. Then she sighed and said, "From now on, if you want me to go to the old house for anything, I will do it, but I have to bring Xiaolan with me."

"Okay," Xiao Lan agreed happily, "but mom, I can't go for nothing, you have to give me some money for running errands."

Zhang smiled when she heard Xiao Lan's words. "I'll give you as much as you want. All the money that mother has saved will be yours in the future."

This episode did not affect the family's mood for going to the capital the next day. The next day, Xiaolan's family finished breakfast early and prepared to set off. Zhang Qingfeng drove the carriage, and Zhang Shanfeng, Xin, Fu and Xiaohu were sitting in the carriage. In Zhang Qingnian's carriage sat Liu, Xiaoqiang and Xiaocheng, all of whom were wearing new clothes and dressed very brightly.

With a small group of people, they finally arrived at the city at 10:00 a.m. the next day. After a short rest, the whole family went out to enjoy the lanterns in the evening.

Xiaolan and her group walked forward. There were many people on the street, so in order to avoid getting separated, Shengxuan, Zhang Shanfeng, Zhang Qingfeng, and Zhang Qingnian walked outside. Zhang supported Xin, Fu, and Liu as they walked in the second circle. Xiaolan, Xiaowen, Xiaohu, Xiaocheng, and Xiaoqiang walked in the innermost circle.

Even though Xiao Lan and the others repeatedly emphasized that they were adults, they were still children in front of their parents.

"Don't run around, or you'll be taken away by the beagle." Xin even frightened the children deliberately, fearing that they would be naughty and break free from the encirclement.

Shopping, especially shopping in a street with a lot of people. Besides Xiaolan's family, although other people have been to the city before, they were all here for business. This is the first time for them to go out for fun. The city is rich in goods, so it is easy for people to be attracted by some things, and then be stopped by other things. In this way, Xiaolan and his group walked and stopped, and the speed of shopping was very slow. But no one was in a hurry. Isn't this what it's like to watch lanterns? After walking half a street, Xiaolan and his friends almost all had a lantern in their hands. Some were bought with money, and some were obtained by guessing lantern riddles.

The women enjoyed the trip and the men followed them patiently. They came not to enjoy the lanterns but to protect the safety of their families.

The women were shopping to see the lanterns. Compared to shopping and seeing, they were more interested in buying. It seemed that if they didn't buy anything, their purpose of shopping would be wasted. Xiao Lan saw that Fu and Liu, the two sisters-in-law, found everything new and wanted to buy everything they saw. Compared with the two brothers and wives from her mother's family, Zhang was much calmer. After all, she had been to the capital before and bought a lot of things at that time, so she focused her main energy on accompanying Xin to talk.

Although Zhang herself did not plan to buy anything, she would stop when she saw something that was suitable for Xin and Zhang Shanfeng to use together. If Xin also liked it, she would pay for it.
