Alchemy genius Sang Jin was forced to her death by various sects after her master ascended. She was reborn on another unfamiliar continent.
During a year of disaster and famine, she became th...
Her grandmother had changed, a huge change. There was no trace of the stingy, son-centric, loud-mouthed grandmother she once was.
But he still says the harshest words and does the softest things with his hands.
"Thank you, Grandpa!" Sang Jin took the candied haws and shared them with her brothers, sisters and younger sister.
"This rabbit lantern was made for you by my sister You and me. Happy birthday, little sister!" Sang Ling's rabbit lantern was a bit crudely made, but the reason why Sang Jin could still tell it was a rabbit was because of the ears and the short tail.
"Sister Jin, happy birthday!" Sang You smiled sweetly.
"Ya ...
"Come, come, try the twice-cooked pork made by Second Aunt." Fang came over with two plates. This was the dish she had just made in the kitchen. She could feel how good her niece was to her. She knew her niece didn't need anything, and she couldn't give her anything expensive.
Today is her birthday. She personally cooked two meat dishes to liven things up. She also wanted to thank her niece for her help.
"Wow, it smells so good. This is the most delicious dish I've eaten today." Sang Jin inhaled the aroma of the dish with her nose.
"Xiao Cun, go quickly and set off all the remaining fireworks." Sang Mu blurted out happily.
"Master, aren't those fireworks tomorrow night?" Xiao Cun asked. If they're done tonight, what will they do tomorrow night, New Year's Eve?
"I told you to let go, so you let go."
"Xiao Cun, we won't be short of fireworks tomorrow night. Don't worry." Sang Jin gave Xiao Cun a reassuring look. With the Hua family's connections, why would she need fireworks? What others could buy, she, Sang Jin, could also buy, and what others couldn't buy, she could still buy at the Hua family.
Hua Li's influence in the Hua family is already very stable. As long as something can be bought at Hua Baolou, Hua Li will definitely sell it there.
It’s just that her fireworks are a little special…
"Old lady, please help me get some of my wine. We're having a good time today, let's have a drink together." Old Man Sang usually doesn't drink. Old Lady Zhuang is very strict. Today is Xiao Jin's birthday, so he should be happy and use this as an excuse to ask Old Lady for some wine.
"Hey, there's only one jar. No more." Old Mrs. Zhuang said unhappily. This wine is harmful to the body, so it's better to drink less.
"Bang-bang-" After a while, another burst of fireworks bloomed in the dark night. If the first fireworks were specially set off by Sang Mu for Zi Shufen to watch, then the second fireworks were to celebrate Sang Jin's birthday.
The entire Sang family happily gathered together for dinner. This was a feeling Bai Jingjing had never experienced before, and she loved it. Everyone's face was filled with pure smiles.
The villagers saw large fireworks spreading across the sky above the Sang Mansion and left their houses to watch the fireworks.
They have managed to survive those hard days without food, and now they can see such a beautiful scene at the door of this house, which was something they never dared to imagine before.
"Why did the Sang family set off fireworks?"
"I don't know, maybe it's Chinese New Year tomorrow."
"Shouldn't it be released tomorrow?"
"Mom, how come this 'flower' can still bloom in the air?"
"Because they are fireworks, 'flowers' that can only be seen at night."
"Look, what is that?"
"It's fireworks."
When Li Jingyu left, Sang Jin didn't see him off. She knew he was only returning to Guangjing Sect to practice and was safe. Everyone had their own path to follow, and she had already made her own path clear.
Lunar New Year's eve.
The Sang family has agreed to have a reunion dinner at the old house.
Old Mrs. Zhuang was up early in the morning, watching over the kitchen stewing bone soup. Zi Shufen and Fang Shi also came with their help. They would all eat at the old house today.
It was not until after dinner and when the fireworks were set off that Sang Jin calmly asked Xiao Cun and Yueya to light the fireworks.
In the night sky, a heart-shaped firework slowly grew larger until it disappeared. Other shapes followed, including flowers, crescent moons, and smiling faces...
"My girl, your fireworks are very interesting. They can bloom into so many interesting shapes." Sang Mu praised.
"Will we set off fireworks every New Year from now on?" Sang Jin contacted Hua Li as soon as she got up this morning and asked her to send someone to deliver such fireworks to the Sang family every year.
"Okay." Sang Mu certainly wouldn't let his daughter down.
On the second day of the Lunar New Year, a group of six people emerged from the apricot tree's teleportation array, led by a young man wearing a black cape and a red robe.
"Mu Xuan? Why are you here?" Sang Jin looked at the high-spirited young man in front of her.
"I... I'm here to wish you a happy new year." Mu Xuan became nervous the moment he saw Sang Jin. Thanks to Sang Jin, he had made a small fortune selling spiritual vegetables. In just two months, everyone in Mu Nan City knew that there was a young master in the Mu Nan Mansion. Mu Xuan.
After his son's premature death, his father, Mu Shizhong, paid special attention to protecting him. On the surface, he did not give him much power, nor did he directly appoint him as the young city lord. However, he secretly sent four capable guards to protect him.
He was secretly given a lot of pills and self-defense weapons.
He was not the young city lord, so he became the most idle person in the Mu Mansion. He had enough time to do what he wanted.
"It's cold outside, come in." Sang Jin was about to go to the riverbed to practice. The spiritual energy there was several times that of the village. Coincidentally, she ran into Mu Xuan, who was visiting the Sang family to wish them a happy new year.
"Carry them all in." Mu Xuan directed the servants to carry the two large wooden boxes into the Sang Mansion.
"Mom, Dad. Mu Xuan is here!" Sang Jin shouted as she entered the room.
Before Yueya could go and call for help, everyone in the Sang Mansion knew that the eldest young master of the Mu Mansion had arrived.
Unexpectedly, the little boy he rescued turned out to be the eldest son of the Mu family, and he was even cooperating with their small village in the spiritual vegetable business.
"Is Master Mu Xuan here? Xiaoxi, go make some tea." Xiaoxi was Zi Shufen's new personal maid. She looked ordinary, but was very skillful. She was Zi Shufen's good helper in the Sang Mansion.
"Uncle Sang, Aunt Zi. I've told you all this many times. Just call me Mu Xuan like before." Mu Xuan still missed the days when he fled with the Sang family, when everyone was so close. Unlike now, when everyone seemed so distant towards him.
"How can that be? You are the eldest son of the City Lord's Mansion. We are all under Murong Chengguan's control." Sang Mu said.
“…”
Mu Xuan chatted with Sang Mu and the others for a while before leaving with them. When he reached the gate of the Sang Mansion, he looked in the direction of Mu Jinyuan, as if he was looking for something, and then walked out.
He should have brought his father to the Sang family to express his gratitude for saving his life, but the situation was unstable at that time.
His father couldn't be too affectionate with him in public. He had to be more attentive to Mu Yu, the younger brother from the second wife's family. He was indifferent to this newly found illegitimate son. This would reduce the threat he posed to Mu Yu, allowing him to grow up more safely.
