Chapter 294: Chapter 295: Lantern Festival (Fourth Update)_1

By the time the props were transported back to Spikenard Square with a handcart, both Nan Feng and Feng Gu were exhausted.

However, after a brief rest, Feng Gu asked, "Sister Nan Feng, are we really not going to see the lanterns? A customer at our shop said yesterday that there are different types of lanterns this year, even ones shaped like centipedes."

Nan Feng chuckled and asked Feng Gu, "Do you really want to see them? Well, we can go, as long as you can wake up on time tomorrow."

Nan Feng was certain that business would be booming the next day.

Feng Gu quickly promised, "I will definitely wake up on time tomorrow, or you can deduct from my salary."

Nan Feng replied, "We’ll deduct your meal expenses too."

"Ok, I guess my father will have to eat a bit less then."

"..." Nan Feng couldn’t help but ask Feng Gu, "What is wrong with you, girl? If you have money, you should save it for your dowry instead of always subsidizing your father’s lifestyle. It seems you’ve completely ignored my advice."

Feng Gu looked a bit embarrassed: "Sister Nan Feng, I... sigh, ever since my brother married my sister-in-law, she has been pressuring my father for money daily. They’ve spent all the money my father earns from work, and unfortunately, he had no choice but to come to me for help."

Nan Feng said, "A bucket of rice can feed a friend, but a stone of rice will feed an enemy. Wait and see, you will suffer in the future."

"..." Feng Gu looked dazed as usual.

...

When Nan Feng went to see the lanterns, she also took Nan Quanyou and Lin Qiaoyun along, as well as that Brother Fu.

The lantern festival here had a strong commercial air to it. The lantern makers came from all over, mainly focusing on sales. If you liked one, you could buy it to take home. Some lanterns were even auctioned off. For example, everyone was intrigued by the centipede-shaped lantern, so people started a bidding war for it - the highest bidder would win.

Nan Feng wasn’t interested in the unusual shapes, but she did like some of the lanterns that had a feminine charm. She thought it would be nice to buy a few and hang them in her shop.

Nan Quanyou also liked the lanterns here, but he was too stingy to buy any. Nan Feng insisted on giving him a lantern shaped like a water jug, saying that he could use it as a lamp at night.

In addition, Nan Feng gave Fu a gourd-shaped lantern, which made him very happy, and she also gave Lin Qiaoyun a lantern modeled after the fairy from the legend of the Seven Fairies.

Although the lantern festival had been going on for a while, it was still crowded. Nan Feng frequently reminded everyone to stay close and not get separated. She led the way with Feng Gu holding on to her, who in turn was holding on to Lin Qiaoyun, who was clutching Fu, and Fu was holding on to Nan Quanyou.

Nan Feng glanced back at Lin Qiaoyun, Fu, and Nan Quanyou, the trio gave her a warm family vibe.

After wandering around for a while, realizing it was too crowded and the southern autumn weather was still a bit sweltering, adding a pungent sweat smell in the air, Nan Feng decided to take everyone to a sweet soup shop to have some sweet potato soup and to enjoy people-watching.

"Sister Nan Feng, isn’t that Brother Ye?" Feng Gu pointed out to the street.

Nan Feng looked out and sure enough, she saw Brother Ye again, still accompanying the county official’s sedan. Two men were holding up a sign in front of the sedan, so all people on the street knew it was the county official’s sedan and made way for it.

Brother Ye was currently ensuring the county official’s safety, so he didn’t look toward the shop. His eyes were alertly fixed on the sedan, appearing extremely focused.
