I traveled through time and space to hunt and support my family in ancient times

Old man Jiang breathed a sigh of relief. These were Jiang Youguang's instructions, and he really managed to deal with the boss. He glanced at Jiang Yue again and said, "Whatever worries and complaints you have are our family's business. Your third uncle has never let your family down. The candy was bought by your third uncle. I don't ask for your good words, I just ask you not to say anything nonsense."

Jiang Yue chuckled: "He asked me to do that, so why did he send you here? How did he know that I would say something wrong to the county magistrate? If he can't get into the county government, won't he blame me?"

Old Man Jiang asked back: "Can you promise not to say anything nonsense?"

"What a joke! How can I guarantee this? Because you guys are shameless?"

"you--"

Old Man Jiang was so angry that he couldn't speak. After a while, he thought of Jiang Youguang's instructions and said to Jiang Yue, "If you were honest, you wouldn't be a gossiper."

"Don't tell my father about your family's affairs in the future. Who cares about your shit?" Jiang Yue threw the bag of candy to Old Man Jiang, and then said, "Take your things too. My family doesn't want them."

After saying that, Jiang Yue went into the house.

Jiang Xue said worriedly, "Sister, then... Jiang Youguang won't really be working in the county government, right?"

"Humph, see, he'll come again. He thinks he has figured out our father's temper and knows that Lord Zhai is very cunning. He wants to use us to take advantage of Lord Zhai without making any noise? He's dreaming in broad daylight!"

With Jiang Zhi as the "spy" and Jiang Xue as the loudspeaker, Jiang Yue knew everything about that family.

Jiang Ming went to the county town frequently after that. Lord Zhai did not need to ask the servants. He just asked Jiang Ming casually and he knew the relationship. After a closer look, he found out about Jiang Youguang's bribery. Bribery involved a lot of people. He had more important things to do in Muchuan, so it was not convenient to touch him for the time being. But he would not arrange for Jiang Youguang to work in the county government.

Jiang Yue sent a letter telling Lord Zhai not to worry about it and let it be. When Jiang Ming came back, he had Lord Zhai's recommendation letter, and he would be able to go to Honglin Academy after the New Year. When Lord Zhai gave him the recommendation letter, he also specially invited his family to come to the county town to visit the lanterns during the Lantern Festival.

The Lantern Festival is the last day of the Chinese New Year. The activities in the countryside on this day are lighting firecrackers and setting fires, which are nothing new. Jiang Yue has long wanted to take her family to the county town to experience the ancient nightlife.

Jiang Ming naturally did not refuse after hearing what he said.

Jiang Youshan and Cai refused to go no matter what: "Why would we stay overnight in the county town without staying at home? What about our cows?"

Jiang Xue said: "Mother, the county magistrate specially invited me."

"That's even worse. Lord Zhai is so busy. How can we trouble him? We can't go..."

Jiang Ming quickly explained: "Mom, we won't bother Lord Zhai. The streets are busy tonight, and the county government will have to patrol."

Cai said she was helping to look after the house, but she didn't agree in her heart. A farmer went to the county town to stay at an inn at night to celebrate the Lantern Festival? She had never encountered such a thing in her life. If it got out, wouldn't she be laughed at? The children were too bold to bring up the county magistrate?

In order to convince the couple, Jiang Yue gave them an irrefutable reason: "Save money."

A few years ago, Manager He gave her more than one thousand taels of silver notes, and she still has the notes with her.

Jiang Youshan and Cai took a deep breath and looked at each other. How could their daughter be so careless? They knew that Manager He had given silver, but they didn't know there was so much. How could 1,500 taels be kept for half a month?

Cai clapped her hands and said, "His father, you and the children should go quickly, and save Yue'er. I will stay at home."

After saying that, he did not forget to look at Jiang Yue with resentment. She was really making a fuss just to go out and play on this day.

Jiang Yue pursed her lips and smiled. Well, her mother would never go with her.

In order to get to the bank to deposit money and book an inn before dark, Jiang Youshan drove a horse-drawn carriage with his four children to the county town after lunch.

Jiang Xue and Jiang Lei looked longing: "Brother, is there really a lion dance in the county?"

Jiang Ming blinked and came over, saying to Jiang Xue, "Lord Zhai said that there will not only be lion dancing and juggling, but also lanterns. There will be riddles on the lanterns, and whoever guesses the riddle first will win a lantern."

Sure enough, when night fell, all kinds of lanterns dotted the streets of the county town, which was magnificent.

The inn Jiang Ming booked was quite far from the downtown area, and it might be too late to go there after dinner.

The lights of the lantern festival ahead were dimly lit, and the further we walked, the more we could hear the bustling sounds.

Jiang Yue looked up and saw the bustling street, with lights as bright as day.

It turns out that the nightlife in ancient times was so lively. This was the first time she had seen such a lantern festival.

Jiang Youshan took them to find a teahouse on high ground, but the teahouse was already crowded. When he was about to go out to find another place, Jiang Ming took him into a private room.

The private room had been booked long ago. The location here is high, so you can enjoy the lively night view while eating.

After eating, Jiang Yue took Jiang Xue, Jiang Ming took Jiang Lei to the street. Jiang Youshan was at a high place and had a good view. He stayed in the teahouse and did not follow. He watched the excitement and sighed in his heart, wishing that the mother of the child could come too.

There were people watching lanterns, guessing lantern riddles, and buying small items on the street. It was so lively. Jiang Xue bought a bunch of snacks with her pocket money. The two people who were already full ate a few bites from time to time until they were full.

Jiang Xue's eyes were full of curiosity, and she would go wherever there was a lot of fun. Jiang Yue followed her all the way with a smile on her face. Jiang Xue looked back and saw someone was guessing lantern riddles, so she pointed and said, "Sister, look, that red lantern is really beautiful."

Jiang Yue nodded: "Let's go and take a look..."

At this time, the crowd cheered: "The lion dance is coming!" Jiang Yue and Jiang Xue were squeezed to both sides of the street, leaving the street empty.

The two looked and saw a very beautiful lion jumping into everyone's sight. There were sounds of gongs and drums, and there were several people supporting the lions. There were two lions in total, jumping up and down, and were very flexible!

Everyone applauded and cheered, and laughed. Some naughty children even ran to the middle of the street and weaved back and forth between the sturdy lion legs.

This lion dance performance is a pair of lions playing with a pearl.

Two lions are fighting for a hydrangea. Whoever gets the hydrangea by chance will be blessed by God and will find a good marriage partner this year.

The boys and girls all stared at the hydrangea, watching it being tossed back and forth between the two lions.

Jiang Yue stood on the street, watching with great interest. She had never visited a night market carefully in her previous life, and she felt noisy when she was alone. Tonight, she felt happy in this bustle by accompanying Jiang Xue.

She has been here for more than half a year, and the family has long been integrated into her heart. With Mrs. Cai taking care of her and her siblings pampering her, she loves the hustle and bustle more than before.

The lion dance stayed for a long time in the most crowded area. The two lions fought for the hydrangea, which made the crowd cheer.

Finally, a lion suddenly jumped up, somersaulted in the air, then raised its head and bit the hydrangea, firmly catching it, which caused applause from all around.
