When Shi Yi thinks about Xianyu, someone always comes to disturb her.

“There are fun things in the city… There is a City God Temple in the east of the city, where it is said that the City God is the most powerful.

Many masters and ladies go there to make wishes.

On the 15th of every month, there is a temple fair at the City God Temple. The whole street is filled with delicious food and there are lion dance teams, which makes it very lively.

In the evening, everyone goes to release river lanterns, and the You family, a wealthy family in Lu'an, will also set off fireworks.

After the river lanterns are released, it is a good time to enjoy them nearby. This time of year is the busiest. Even officials will bring their wives, sons, and daughters to enjoy the festival with the people.

The waiter seemed very happy when he said this, "Sir, you have come at the right time. The day after tomorrow is the fifteenth day. What a coincidence!"

Xiangyang: I feel like you look happier.

However, he noticed that the waiter mentioned the You family just now, and he wondered if it was the You family that the boss wanted to investigate.

"Yeah! It sounds interesting. If you have time, go and join in the fun.

Which company did you say was setting off the fireworks?

Why does it always happen at his house every year?

The waiter replied respectfully, "It's the You family! Because they are the largest merchant in our Lu'an City. Their business is so big that they have a store on every street in Lu'an City."

At this point he lowered his voice and said, "I heard that his family has so much money that it can be piled up into a mountain. Even the officials in the county government are polite when they see the You family."

It turned out to be this You family.

"The You family has been doing business for generations, right? Did their ancestors come from Lu'an?

Rich families usually have accumulated wealth over several generations, so it is not uncommon for them to have accumulated a mountain of gold. "Xiang Yang said calmly.

The waiter pondered for a moment and said, "It is true that the You family used to be a businessman, but they were just ordinary merchants. I heard from our old shopkeeper that before the You family became rich, they were not as good as the owner of our VIP building!

However, in recent years, the You family seems to have made a fortune and has been buying shops and land.

In just a few years, it surpassed all the big merchants in Lu'an.

In the past, the rich families took turns setting off fireworks at temple fairs, but about three years ago, the You family was the one to set off fireworks every time.

This is interesting!

After Xiangyang and his friends had eaten and drunk their fill, they all went to bed early. At night, the two brothers met with the three brothers who went to the brothel to exchange information.

Not long after, several people went back quietly.

On the second day, Xiangyang's people went out, and they wandered around Lu'an City in groups of three or four.

At night, the servants in the You family compound were carrying things back and forth, and they were busy until late at night.

You Xiuyuan and his guards went out early and came back late, with carriages carrying goods coming in and out.

We were busy until the fifteenth day, when the temple fair began.

The streets are lined with various small commodities that are not commonly seen on weekdays.

It seemed as if all the people in the city had walked out of their homes, and the streets were crowded with people.

The street vendors were shouting their wares loudly, the air was filled with the aroma of food, the children were happily running around in the crowd, and their parents were chasing their children in frustration.

The juggling show was very attractive, and both adults and children gathered in a big circle.

The place where magicians perform is also very lively. Halfway through the performance, a gong always sounds and little girls hold up baskets to ask for tips.

Rich and sophisticated families would throw some silver or copper coins to the little girl at this time.

Many people who live in poor households will leave at this time, causing a lot of noise and bustle.

After a while, the gong sounds again and the performance continues. Those who have escaped will pretend to pass by casually, move to a better position and continue watching.

No matter rich or poor, everyone can enjoy watching it.

Even if there is no reward, it’s okay.

Those who have money can show their support with money, and those who have no money can also show their support with their presence.

Walk and play during the day, and when you get tired, go to a roadside tea stall to rest. A big bowl of steaming hot tea costs only two copper coins.

After resting enough, go and watch the fun.

Buying a sesame seed bun or sticky cake on the roadside is both delicious and filling.

I just ate some candied haws to help relieve the greasiness and help digestion, and when I saw the water chestnut cake, soup dumplings, and candied dates, I couldn’t help but eat some more.

I want to try everything, but my stomach can’t hold it.

As night falls, the temple fair reaches its climax.

The night was brightly lit and the streets were hung with all kinds of lanterns.

There are many children holding animal-shaped lanterns in their hands. The majority of the lanterns in the river are lotus lanterns, after all, they are for commemorating ancestors.

Xiangyang sat in front of a mutton soup stall, holding a freshly baked Hu pancake in his hand, and his eyes were always looking towards the lion dance team invited by the You family, intentionally or unintentionally.

On the other side, a high platform has been built not far away, which is where the fireworks will be set off tonight.

It looks like everything is ready over there, and the fireworks will be lit at the hour of Xu.

For safety reasons, vendors are not allowed to approach within 20 feet of the platform.

After all, fireworks should be kept at a safe distance.

Carriages from the You family were constantly shuttling back and forth nearby, and a large group of You family guards and servants were also making intensive preparations.

You Xiuyuan also appeared here and personally dispatched the orders on the spot.

He looked very calm and capable, and many ladies looked in his direction.

You Xiuyuan is handsome, elegant, has a rich family background, and is very capable. These are the most favorable conditions for mothers-in-law to choose a son-in-law.

The ladies also blushed and carefully and secretly observed the people they liked.

bang... bang...

As the hour of Xu arrived, colorful fireworks exploded into gorgeous flowers in the sky.

The lion dance team’s performance also reached its climax!

Suddenly, several teams of lions appeared from nowhere and frolicked among the crowd to the rhythm of drums.

The streets were a bit chaotic at this time, but no one cared.

Most people's attention was attracted by the fireworks, and many children were unknowingly out of the supervision of their families.

Some were attracted by their greed, some were dispersed by the crowd, and some were separated by the lion dance team. At this time, adults and children were immersed in their own happiness and no one noticed that the hunters had started hunting.

bang... bang...

With the last round of fireworks blooming, the temple fair finally ushered in the final carnival.

When people came back to their senses from the joy, they were suddenly awakened to find that their family members were no longer around. They thought that in the blink of an eye, they should be nearby and they could meet them by looking for them.

But no one would have thought that some people might never have the chance to get it back in their lifetime.

I searched for a long time but still couldn't find it. I started to panic and thought it was really worrying.

He ran so far in the blink of an eye.
