At the beginning, I was a rich female prisoner

He Yanqin thought it was right. It was not difficult to weave bamboo baskets. He could recruit more apprentices and they would learn it in a day or two. He said, "Thank you very much, Princess."

Yu Yunxin was very happy after putting the big dumpling back into the bamboo sea, and she returned with a cart full of bamboo weavings.

"Princess, what do you want so many bamboo baskets for?" Qiu Shuang asked curiously.

"I can use these bamboo baskets as flower baskets or fruit baskets, which will be very interesting as gifts during the Chinese New Year." Yu Yunxin said while holding the bamboo zither.

"You have so many ideas, girl. I don't dare to go out with you, for fear of being outdone by you." Yu Tinghai said.

Yu Yunxin smiled and plucked the strings a few times, and the bamboo zither made a "clang! clang" sound. The tone of Konggu Youlan is quite good, and it is not heavy to carry with you when you go out, so it is convenient to carry.

Yu Yunxin coquettishly held Yu Tinghai's hand and said, "Dad, how could that be? I am your daughter. My excellence proves that you are also excellent! Otherwise, how could you have a smart and lovely daughter like me?"

Yu Tinghai was very happy about this and touched Yu Yunxin's hair lovingly.

"You said you were a bit like me!"

Looking at the city full of joy, the most lively hawking voices are from the shops opened by Yu Yunxin. They sell popcorn cakes, surrounded by cute little dolls, and they can get buy-one-get-one-free popcorn cakes. The fruit baskets outside the shop are the most eye-catching, with the fruits artistically placed in the baskets.

"Rice flower cake, it's great that we can buy one and get one free today." The children clapped happily.

Even the dry goods store was crowded with people, who were selling her salted duck eggs, preserved eggs, and salted duck eggs, all of which were laid by more than 60,000 ducks this year.

The Rouge and Powder Shop has a new product this year, which is a cheap and affordable hand cream. Yu Yunxin uses roast duck oil, aloe vera and various Chinese medicines to make it. Many ladies are choosing in the Rouge Shop. Smelling the fragrance. What is more attractive is that the various flowers in the flower basket are particularly bright and beautiful, and there are also a few flowers on the flower basket. People who see it can't help but go up and smell it.

"Ladies, the flower baskets you put these are decorated with pearl flowers. They are very affordable and can be worn as head flowers or placed around the house as ornaments," the shopkeeper recommended.

"Okay, get this one that smells good! Shopkeeper, pack ten for me. I want to give it as a gift." said the lady.

"I want one too. There's also this fragrant hand cream. I heard it was made by the princess. I've bought it twice and it works!" Another lady said, "Look how soft my hands are."

"Yes! Mrs. Gu is good." said a woman standing next to her.

"Give me more." Everyone said one after another.

Qiu Shuang said, "My lord, it's still not as lively here as in the capital. It would be great if we could bring all these things back to the capital to sell."

Upon hearing this, Yu Yunxin laughed and said, "There's no rush. Let's get established in Nanling County first, and then go to other places. Sooner or later, we will open a store in the capital." She even wanted to build a night market town in the capital!

Yu Yunxin brought a basket of fruits and prepared gifts to the rice shop. Today she wanted to wish this partner a happy new year in advance.

At this time, Yang Yunsheng was busy with an abacus. When he saw Yu Yunxin, he immediately put down the abacus in his hand and said, "My princess is really a noble lady. How long has it been since you came to my place?"

"Happy New Year, Boss Yang!" Yu Yunxin congratulated him as soon as she opened her mouth.

Yang Yunsheng took the fruit basket at a loss and smiled, "My princess is really interesting. Not to mention that you put different fruits in it and arranged them in various ways. It's really beautiful."

"Okay, Boss Yang, it's New Year's Day and you should pay me the money for the goods!" Yu Yunxin asked Qiu Shuang to bring out the prepared gifts. There were salted duck, salted goose, and wine lees chicken made from the chickens in her tea garden, as well as drunken chicken and drunken duck. They were all semi-finished products, and she also presented the recipes of several dishes.

Yang Yunsheng took it and laughed: "This gift from the princess is really valuable. It seems that I can make a lot of money during the New Year!"

"Boss Yang is indeed a wealthy businessman. How come he is obsessed with money?" Yu Yunxin said with a smile.

"Okay, Princess, I have calculated the payment for your goods. Jin Chen, go and get it quickly." Yang Yunsheng said and asked Jin Chen to go and get it.

Jin Chen quickly handed an exquisite box to Yang Yunsheng and took out a few gift boxes.

"It's a habit of reciprocity! Princess, these are my Jiangnan pastries and specialties." Yang Yunsheng handed an exquisite box filled with banknotes to Yu Yunxin.

Yu Yunxin took it and gave it to Qiu Shuang behind her without even looking at it. Her favorite was Jiangnan's crispy cake.

"Thank you, Boss Yang." After saying this, Yu Yunxin and Qiu Shuang left the rice shop.

Sitting in the carriage back to Shangyang County, I counted the banknotes. I was very happy. I didn't expect to have an income of 30,000 taels during the New Year. Thinking about spending money at the paper mill in Cuizhu Village, I was not so happy.

Shangyang County is not as lively as the prefectural capital and its Kangzhuang town. After all, the people here are too poor. People here sell homemade firecrackers, which are made by putting some flint in a bamboo tube, and there will be a sound when the fire is lit.

Yu Yunxin looked at the old women in patched clothes selling firecrackers and stopped her carriage, walked up to the old woman and asked, "Old lady, how much is one of these?"

"Miss, this doesn't cost money. You can exchange it with things from your home." The old woman said as she looked at Yu Yunxin, who was wearing silk and satin clothes and could tell at a glance that she was not the daughter of an ordinary family.

Yu Yunxin asked: "So many of you are selling firecrackers, are you all trying to exchange them for something?"

"Girl, you don't know! People in our village come to the county town and shops or some families every year to exchange some New Year's goods so that we can have a good New Year." said the old woman.

Yu Yunxin looked at these people and ordered Qiu Shuang, "Qiu Shuang, go prepare some meat, salt, and cloth to exchange for firecrackers with these villagers."

When Qiu Shuang heard Yu Yunxin coming over, she asked, "Are you going to change all these people?"

"Of course, we have to set off more firecrackers during the Chinese New Year to feel the joy of the festival!" said Yu Yunxin.

"Okay Princess, I'll do it right away." Qiu Shuang replied.

Soon Qiu Shuang brought a few sisters from Yanyu Manor and drove a carriage filled with coarse cloth, grain, oil, and processed meat. They started exchanging firecrackers with the villagers at the city gate.

This was also her first year in ancient times. The whole family celebrated the New Year in Yunmengxuan, happily eating the reunion dinner together. Only the women of the Lin family lamented that they could not have a reunion dinner together this year.

"Mother-in-law, I have received good news from the battlefield ahead. The old king of Nandian has died, and my father-in-law has led his troops to recapture the city that Dacheng lost. You can rest assured!" Yu Tinghai said to Old Lady Lin while eating and looking towards the direction of Nanchuan.

The female relatives were delighted when they heard this. "That's great. Maybe we will be reunited and return to Beijing soon," said Cheng.

The three cousins-in-law also nodded.

"Eat quickly, these are the dishes Xin'er personally selected, and the combination of meat and vegetables is just right." The ghost doctor said as he picked up a piece of mushroom.

"Yes, my cousin also exchanged a lot of firecrackers. We will go to set off firecrackers after dinner." Li Wan said.

"Set off more firecrackers for us!" Yu Yunxin also said.

There was no Spring Festival Gala in ancient times, and the only entertainment was to go out and set off firecrackers everywhere.

Soon after eating and drinking, everyone went to the front yard and started to light a few bonfires. They threw firecrackers into the fires, and there were bursts of crackling sounds.

Nanling County didn't have the colorful fireworks that the capital city could set off, after all, these things were controlled by the big families. However, the three cousins ​​didn't care and kept throwing firecrackers at the fire.

Covering his ears happily in front of the fire, Yu Linshan also threw several firecrackers, looking very happy.

The fire was scattered everywhere, and all kinds of cakes were prepared in the main room. When you get tired of playing in the yard, you go back to the house to rest for a while and drink a cup of tea, then go out to set off firecrackers and stay up until midnight.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, the people here would worship their ancestors at home, except for the people in Yanyu Manor, who would light incense and pray for the blessing of the Goddess of the Nine Heavens. This time, Yu Yunxin and the sisters from Yanyu Manor also held a ceremony to worship the Goddess of the Nine Heavens in Kangzhuang Town.

Everyone holds a stick of incense in front of them. When the sun rises, they look up to the sky and kowtow. The incense in front of them must not be extinguished. They sit cross-legged facing the sun, absorbing the first twilight of the new year, and the ceremony ends when the incense burns out.

Zhuang Diewu had recovered somewhat and completed the ceremony with the help of Qionglou and Yanluo. She came to Yu Yunxin and said, "From now on, Yanyu Manor will depend on you."

"Old master, don't worry! I will take good care of my sisters." Yu Yunxin helped Zhuang Diewu back to the house to rest.

Zhuang Diewu quickly lay down on the bed and began to rest with her eyes closed. Under Zhuang Diewu's guidance, her swordsmanship and internal strength improved a lot. She also had to learn more martial arts from masters. After all, Zhuang Diewu was considered a master who could be ranked among the top 100 in the martial arts world.

The next step was morning exercises with the sisters from Yanyu Manor. Some of them were disciples from the inner three sects, and their morning exercises were meditation and breathing exercises.

The outer three sects naturally practiced swordsmanship. Yu Yunxin followed the outer three sects' disciples to learn swordsmanship in the courtyard. A year's plan starts with spring, and a day's plan starts with the tiger. This is how she spent her days with the sisters from Yanyu Manor.

At night, Yu Yunxin mixed some white clay and glutinous rice and started making figurines. The first one she made was for herself. She looked at the pink face in the bronze mirror, which was huddled in a white rabbit fur collar. She wore a pink shawl and a pink and white skirt. The belt around her waist was made of rabbit fur, which could better protect the important parts of women. There was also a circle of rabbit fur on the skirt as decoration. Standing in front of the bronze mirror, she looked like a newly transformed rabbit fairy.

Looking at this body, she still gained something. After all, she was young and had a cute face. Even she couldn't help but look at herself in the bronze mirror a few more times. She looked like a fairy in a painting.

She made a hand-made figure using the rabbit fur on her clothes. She used real rabbit fur and slowly pierced it with a fine needle. The mixture of glutinous rice flower and porcelain clay is not easy to fall off. The pigments for the face are all mica and minerals of various colors. It can be said that it took her several days to make a hand-made figure.

She was very satisfied with the masterpiece in her hands. Just as she was about to put it on the dressing table, a figure suddenly flew over and snatched her hand away.

As soon as Yu Yunxin turned around, she saw the golden and purple figure. He was wearing a mask, and the mask couldn't make out his deep eyes. She pouted her pink lips and said, "Give it back to me quickly, I want to put it on the dressing table."

The man, wearing a mask, looked at the figurine in his hand and shook it in front of Yu Yunxin: "It looks just like it. It's so cute. Did you make it yourself?"

Yu Yunxin wanted to go up and grab it, but the man in front of her would never let her get it, so she raised her hand higher. Looking at the man who was taller than her, she used her Qinggong to leap up, trying to take back her figurine, but the man put his hand down when he saw her coming up, and put one hand around Yu Yunxin's waist, holding her in his arms, and holding her tightly in his arms. Yu Yunxin was hugged and immediately wanted to break free, but she was no match for the man in front of her, and the man's hands clamped her tightly.

"Don't move. This is the punishment for losing my pet. You should know that the wolf is a rare spiritual pet. Now that you have lost it, you have to compensate me." The man hugged Yu Yunxin and said, watching Yu Yunxin not move in his arms, he immediately moved the mask away, smiled slightly, the corners of his mouth were just right, exuding a mysterious and evil atmosphere, and gently kissed Yu Yunxin's forehead. Soon he moved the mask back to its original position.

At this moment, Yu Yunxin was like a rabbit with its hair standing on end. She angrily said in her heart, "How dare she tease me? Who is she? She is a queen."

She summoned her inner strength and used the move "Scattering Flowers" to immediately break free from the man's arms, catching the man off guard and knocking him one meter away.

The man stood in front of her, but under the mask he showed a wicked smile: "I've seen your inner strength improve a lot in these days!"

"Of course, give me back my figure." Yu Yunxin continued, and was about to pick up the bamboo zither behind her.

The man laughed again, and with a whistle, the wolf jumped from the window onto the man's shoulder.

Yu Yunxin said in surprise: "Xiaoba, are you okay?"

The wolf ran into Yu Yunxin's arms again, and started to act coquettishly in her arms. He rubbed his furry head against Yu Yunxin's chest. Yu Yunxin was speechless and threw the wolf directly to the ground. "Just like your master."

The wolf was thrown to the ground and looked at Yu Yunxin innocently.

The Lord of the Underworld walked over, picked up the wolf and patted his head: "Okay, stop trying to take advantage of me."

"Since your wolf is back, you should return my things to me!" Yu Yunxin continued.

"No, you know how many wolves I sacrificed in the battle with the mandrills." said the Lord of the Underworld.

"Your wolf pack?" Yu Yunxin asked.

"Without my presence, how could Mu Zhongye and his companions escape from the Brown Tribe, the Colossus Tribe and the Gu Master?" said the Lord of the Underworld.

"You went there too? What's going on with that mandrill?" Yu Yunxin asked curiously.

"It's just a pet raised by the Bulang people. It's extremely powerful. I didn't confront it head-on. Fortunately, I have a large wolf pack. Those mandrills were scared away by the wolves." The Lord of the Underworld said and looked at Yu Yunxin again. The candlelight flickered. The little face of the woman in front of him looked even more delicate under the candlelight, which dazzled him.

"Come on, I'll take you to see the good stuff." As he said this, he pulled up Yu Yunxin's soft and boneless little hand.

Yu Yunxin tried to break free but was finally picked up by the Lord of the Underworld.

She was about to speak when her acupuncture points were sealed. "Don't scream. If someone finds out, I'm afraid your reputation will be ruined."
