Transmigrated as a Peasant Baby Who is Pampered by All-Chapter 531 - 326: Lake Tour and Song Dance Spectacle

The two of them happily wove through the crowd, completely forgetting about trivial matters and simply indulging in joyous play.

The purse Aunt Qian gave them was clearly prepared in advance, with a handful of copper coins and an ounce of broken silver inside.

Enough for them to eat, drink, and buy things for the evening.

"Hey there, let’s go release river lanterns!"

Seeing many people holding river lanterns heading in one direction, Xiaomi also dragged Wei Ziang to buy one.

Technically, you could make river lanterns yourself, but since they hadn’t prepared, they could only buy them.

Xiaomi pulled Wei Ziang, deftly weaving through the crowd, and quickly arrived in front of the stall selling river lanterns.

The Liu family servants who had been following them had long been left behind, who knows where.

The river lanterns were mostly similar, shaped like lotus flowers, with a small candle in the middle.

"Young masters and young ladies, the river lantern is five wen each, do you want to buy one? I can help light the candle for you."

The seller, a young girl, spoke in a gentle voice, with materials for making river lanterns placed beside her.

"Sister, did you make all these river lanterns yourself? You’re so skillful." 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚

The young girl was pleased with the compliment: "Actually, river lanterns are simple to make. Once you grow a bit older, you’ll easily make them. Do you want to buy one, little sister?"

"No, we want two." Xiaomi grabbed one in each hand, while Wei Ziang had already counted out ten wen.

The young girl selling the lanterns first helped them light the candles before accepting the money.

"Be careful as you go over there, don’t burn your hands. Go that way; there are fewer people."

The young girl pointed them in a direction where there truly were fewer people.

"Miss Xiaomi, Young Master Ziang, finally found you two. Don’t run too fast, be careful not to get lost."

The two servants who had been left behind earlier finally caught up, each holding the items Xiaomi and Wei Ziang had previously bought.

"Don’t worry, even if we get lost, we just need to head to the north gate before hai hour."

Xiaomi mischievously smiled, then dragged Wei Ziang towards the riverbank.

By now, many people had gathered by the river, and the river was filled densely with lanterns floating downstream, passing through the whole city of Cheng, eventually drifting to an unknown destination.

"Look over there, it’s Sister Liu and her fiancé." Xiaomi pointed diagonally across, where Liu Yajing and the young man from earlier were releasing a lantern into the water.

Wei Ziang nodded and pointed in another direction: "Over there are Second Sister and Brother Ze."

Indeed, the two of them were also releasing a lantern together, accompanied by Liu family maids and servants.

A glance at another spot revealed Uncle Liu, Aunt Qian, their parents, and the eldest and youngest brothers all releasing river lanterns together.

Including Xiaomi and them, their whole family truly gathered together.

However, other people’s eyesight probably wasn’t as sharp; anyway, they watched the excitement for a bit, saw everyone release their lanterns, and left without noticing each other.

But on their side, initially not many people, grew quite crowded after waiting for a while.

"Hey, let’s release ours too soon."

Squatting on the steps by the riverbank, carefully placing the lanterns into the water, they clasped their hands together, closed their eyes, and made wishes.

When they opened their eyes again, their lanterns had mingled with the others, indistinguishable from one another.

"Miss Xiaomi, Young Master Ziang, having released the lanterns, let’s leave now, the riverbank is dangerous."

The two servants had protected them from behind all along, fearing they night get pushed into the river amid the jostling.

Such incidents were not unheard of in the past.

"Alright, it’s getting late, let’s head to the north city gate now."

Wei Ziang pulled Xiaomi around, stopping by a snack shop to buy some hot snacks for the two servants, giving them a bit of sustenance.

Arriving at the north city gate, they indeed saw everyone already waiting, with Liu Yajing’s fiancé alongside.

This was Xiaomi’s first time coming to the north of the city, and only now did she see it. Compared to the brightly lit, bustling streets earlier, this place seemed more resplendent and magnificent.

The river within the city originated from this lake. At this moment, lanterns hung all around, and several large boats awaited passengers on the lake.

Except for Liu Hongcai, the others were no longer wearing masks. Some passersby who noticed them were first startled, and then pretended nothing had happened and walked away.
