Transmigration: From Farmer To Empress - Chapter 1915 Barter Festival (2)
He had long said that he wanted to recruit a son-in-law for his daughter, and let his daughter and son-in-law live with them in the palace and live under his nose. Caiwei also loved children and was reluctant to let his daughter marry so far away, so, No matter how good Chao’er is, he is no longer within her scope of consideration. Unless he can get married, Caiwei will never marry her daughter to him!
Therefore, Caiwei smiled and said: “It’s too early to make a decision now. Anyway, there will be opportunities to meet in the future. If they are really interested in each other, I will be happy to find a good son-in-law! However, if the two children don’t have this intention, we Forcibly tying them together will only increase the number of resentful couples, and it will also cause separation between us. We might as well not be in-laws!”
After hearing this, Queen Mother Namuhan nodded repeatedly and said: “This is a good idea. Let’s try to create as many opportunities as possible for them to be together. When they grow up in the future, they will naturally be childhood sweethearts and love each other, hahaha…”
Caiwei also laughed along with him, and instead of continuing on this topic, asked about another topic.
“Don’t Qingluo Kingdom have the custom of celebrating the Lantern Festival? Why didn’t we see any festive atmosphere on the way here?”
Queen Mother Namuhan said: “The fifteenth day of the first lunar month in our Qingluo Kingdom is also a festival, but it is different from the Shangyuan Festival in the Jin Dynasty. The fifteenth day of the first lunar month in the Qingluo Kingdom is the ‘Bartering Festival’, which means that the people bring out what they don’t need.” It’s both practical and interesting to go to the market to exchange for things you need at home.”
The Barter Festival has a long history in Qingluo Kingdom, and it is not limited to the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. It begins on the thirteenth day of the first lunar month. The first people to barter were poor and lower-middle peasants. Most of what they exchanged were a few old clothes and farm tools. One or two livestock, or old furniture, old objects, etc.; those who barter on the fourteenth day of the first lunar month are from the middle and upper classes, and the items exchanged are much higher-end, from silks and satins to slave houses, although they are not priceless items. But it is by no means something that poor and lower-middle peasants can afford to exchange; those who barter on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month are the aristocrats and wealthy merchants of the Qingluo Kingdom, and what they exchange is priceless things, such as jewelry, farms, houses, or whatever. It is a lively day for novelty objects. People will come out to see these treasures. Firstly, they will feast their eyes and secondly, they will gain insights.
Caiwei smiled and said, “It’s indeed quite interesting. I will definitely go and see the excitement on the Barter Festival!”
At this time, the staple food was served, which were very thin pancakes. The pancakes were brushed with a layer of butter, and some small red or black particles were sprinkled on the butter. They were shiny and beautiful.
Nangong Yi had eaten pancakes before. Caiwei had made strawberry pancakes and vanilla pancakes for him in the past. They were both delicious, but he had never eaten the small black or red particles on the pancakes. He didn’t know what they were, but Caiwei heard them He smiled and said, “Caviar, that’s great. I haven’t had caviar in a long time.”
The last time she ate caviar, she was still a gold medal bodyguard of a certain country. She had been in this world for a few years but had never tasted it. The long-lost taste made her feel very familiar, so she ate a lot of it.
Caviar can be divided into red caviar and black caviar, which are made from sturgeon eggs and cod eggs respectively. However, there are no sturgeon eggs and cod eggs in the rivers of Dajin. It seems that she has to get a few to raise them in space. It’s better if it’s inside, otherwise it will be inconvenient to eat caviar!
After dinner, the family was arranged to rest in a gorgeous palace. Chaoer couldn’t bear to separate from Mingzhu. He cried and made a fuss and wanted to take Mingzhu back to his bedroom and let his sister accompany him on his little bed. While sleeping, after hearing Chao’er’s request, Nangong Yi’s face turned dark before Caiwei could say anything. He clearly told the boy who was crying with snot and tears that his precious daughter would never sleep with anyone else. !
