Chapter 203: Fireworks



As soon as she heard "Let's eat!" Ji Yingying immediately grabbed a large chicken leg, doing so quickly as if afraid someone would snatch it from her.

Sure enough, after she finished picking up the chicken leg, Ji Jiayu immediately picked up another chicken leg for Yanni.

Ji Cailiang then passed the last piece to Fang Yulan, and Ji Jiaming ate the last one himself.

"Brother, you are so lonely!" Xinhe County laughed and then started eating meat in big mouthfuls.

Chicken is her favorite food. She doesn't even eat rice anymore. She grabs a few pieces and gnaws on them, eating them clean, even the bones.

"My little sister really loves chicken!"

"She doesn't just like chicken; she loves poultry, duck, and pork. She rarely eats fish," Ji Jiayu explained.

"Who said that? I love eating preserved fish, but unfortunately we don't have any! I'll go to the snack shop later, maybe they'll have some."

Ji Yingying was very glad that she opened a modern snack shop. Although she was buying and selling goods from shopping malls, it allowed her to eat snacks openly and legitimately.

"Little sister, tell me how to make this preserved fish, and I'll make it for you."

"No, no, no...you can't." Then, in her mind, she added: [You can, but I can't!]

Jenny was at her wit's end!

After everyone had finished eating, Ji Yingying's bowl of rice was still there, but there wasn't much chicken left.

I cooked two chickens today, and they're almost gone. It's probably a case of word of mouth; Ji Yingying loves chicken, and everyone else seems to like it too.

"Okay, I can't eat it anymore. I have to save some for tomorrow. Otherwise, how can we say there will be surplus every year?"

"Year after year of abundance..." Yanni looked at Ji Yingying in shock. What a niche word!

"Yeah, your family won't take you in?"

"I've never heard of that. If there's leftover food at home, the servants eat it. If they don't eat it, they take it back with them. My family doesn't really care about that."

Fang Yulan patted her hands: "We don't have so many rules in our family. Sometimes we even serve food that's been left over from the previous night. We focus on not wasting it."

"Mom, I know!"

This family all came from the village and were used to being frugal. There were not many servants at home. Even Ji Jiayu and Ji Jiaming had only one old woman who cleaned the courtyard, and they shared one. There were more people in Ji Yingying's courtyard, but only three, one of whom was a nanny from the Prince's Mansion.

The Crown Princess made this special arrangement because she was worried that she didn't know the rules. As for the guard Rong Er, he was arranged by the Emperor. In fact, Ji Yingying only had one maid, Pingguo, by her side.

The same applies to my in-laws' surroundings; there's only an old woman sweeping and cleaning, someone cooking in the kitchen, and a door to one of their rooms.

There isn't even a housekeeper.

Mingming's whole family is an official and has surplus food at home. Ji Yingying also owns several shops, but their home is still very simple.

"After I've eaten my fill, I'm going to set off fireworks, Mom. I'll show you the beautiful world."

After washing her hands, Ji Yingying rubbed her hands together, ready to wreak havoc on the sky.

Go!

"Okay!" Ji Yingying shouted twice like Taishan and went straight to the yard. The yard was full of fireworks. Ji Yingying lit some incense and walked over immediately.

The ignition cords of five fireworks were placed together. Ji Yingying lit one and immediately ran back when she heard the sound.

Fireworks burst open in the sky in an instant, it was very beautiful, and there were all kinds of styles.

The fireworks in the night sky were so beautiful and dreamlike that they left everyone in awe!

The emperor, watching from the city tower in the palace, was mesmerized by the magnificent fireworks.

This is the first time that the Chinese New Year has been so grand!

Return to emptiness, and rejoice with the gods!

"Mother, is it pretty?" Ji Yingying called out as she turned around, and Fang Yulan responded with a smile.

The other world is so good, her daughter suffered with them!

Ji Yingying set off fireworks for nearly quarter of an hour, which cost her a lot of money.

But she was happy!

During the first ten years of the ancient Spring Festival, she felt that it was no different from any other day. The only good thing was that she could eat as much chicken as she wanted.

After the last firework went off, Ji Yingying turned around and went back inside.

"Are you tired from playing?" Fang Yulan reached out and touched her hand. It wasn't so cold, so she felt relieved.

The emperor and empress in the palace heard no more sound and then sighed, "This girl has finally stopped."

"Your Majesty, if you are happy, then be happy. Why sigh? It's the New Year, why sigh? Otherwise Yingying will say that your good fortune is gone."

"You're right. Come, have some more chicken."

Influenced by Ji Yingying, the emperor and empress also began to love eating chicken. Moreover, the chicken chef in the palace also secretly learned a lot of skills in order to gain the appreciation of the nobles.

It was past midnight and Ji Yingying felt sleepy, so she lay down and fell asleep. As for keeping watch, she had never followed the rules.

There were no aphrodisiacs, no storybooks to read, and even no dumplings to make. It was too painful to keep watch all night.

After imagining a scenario of a wife-chasing-after-the-cremation scenario, Ji Yingying drifted off to sleep.

Fang Yulan hugged her, and her little face looked more and more like Ji Cailiang, especially the stubborn and unyielding spirit.

Both father and daughter are exactly the same – cowardly yet playful!

"Brother Criminal Police~" Ji Yingying called Mu Kaiji in a daze, obviously she was thinking about him very much!

"Mr. Mu is very good, but there is an age gap. If he were a few years older, I could have arranged for him to be your wife."

"What are you saying, Madam! How can our daughter get married?" Ji Yingying's thoughts were so ridiculous that no one could stand her marrying anyone.

They were prepared to support Ji Yingying for the rest of their lives.

They absolutely cannot let their precious child suffer because of marriage.

"We can't, but Young Master Mu can! We really hope that Young Master Mu can be the same age as our daughter!"

That's true. Mu Kaiji is trustworthy, but ultimately, his age is not suitable, and now, the time and space are not suitable either.

Ji Yingying was unaware of their conversation. When she woke up in the morning, she was overjoyed to find five large red envelopes in her hands.

After having a hearty breakfast early in the morning, I went out to pay New Year's visits.

Ji Yingying planned to go to the palace to pay New Year's respects, since everyone there was familiar with her and they were all older than her.

He probably received red envelopes for New Year’s greetings, so without saying anything, he got two bicycles and went straight into the palace.

The Emperor was somewhat surprised to hear that Ji Yingying had arrived!

"Doesn't this girl hate going to the palace? Why is she going to the palace on New Year's Day?"

The emperor waited in the imperial study for a long time, but no one came.

After asking carefully, I found out that Ji Yingying had gone to the harem and visited every palace.

I still go to pay New Year’s greetings.

Ji Yingying was indeed happy. She said a few nice words and knelt down. Unexpectedly, the money she spent on fireworks last night was returned.

"Are you so happy?" Xiangxiang couldn't help but say when she saw her like this.

【Pah! Pah! Pah! It's the Lunar New Year, why are you talking about death?】

[Yes, yes, happy new year! May this year be auspicious and prosperous, and may you make tons of money!]

【Hehe~】After taking a tour of the harem, Ji Yingying originally wanted to go to the East Palace, but when she thought about the child there, she decided not to go.

The money was already in her pocket, and Ji Yingying didn't want to give it away anymore, so she simply left the palace.

The Emperor had already prepared the red envelope, but Ji Yingying didn't come!
