Taking away my family's luck? I won't stand it!

Chapter 162 Catch the week

The old woman's heart was melting as she held the candy in her hand.

"The candy Yaoyao sent must be delicious."

The villagers came forward one by one to give Yaoyao gifts, and Yaoyao took out a piece of candy from her small purse in return.

The deflated little purse can hold a lot of candies, and I can take them out piece by piece.

In the end, Yaoyao's hands were filled with gifts from the villagers, such as hair flowers, hairbands, and small shoes...

All made by ourselves.

Once the villagers left, the children in the village dared to approach Yaoyao.

Everyone looked at Yaoyao with curious eyes.

"Yaoyao, you are so beautiful." Goudan from the village touched Yaoyao's hair.

Shen Lingling slapped Goudan's hand and said, "Silly Goudan, you can't touch girls' hair!"

"Oh, I won't touch it, I'll just take a look." Goudan pursed his lips, looking aggrieved.

Shen Lingling held her sister Yaoyao's hand and said, "You can watch, but you can't touch her. My sister is only one year old. It will hurt if you touch her and she falls."

"Sister Lingling is right. You can't touch my sister, understand? If my sister falls, I will beat you up." Guoan clenched his fists and scared the children in the village.

The children in the village all nodded and said, "Don't touch Sister Yaoyao. She is young. Let us watch her."

Seeing that they were behaving well, Guoan patted his chest and said, "Just wait, I'll get you some candy."

As soon as he finished speaking, he ran away. After a while, he came back with candy in his hands, "Eat it, the candy is very sweet."

Each child was given a few candies and sat in the yard around Yaoyao, happily eating candies, talking and laughing, and cheerful smiles could be heard from time to time.

The villagers drank tea, ate melon seeds, and watched the group of children talking and laughing while eating candies.

Shen Chulan and Ye Wan shouted in the kitchen that it was time for dinner, and all the villagers consciously cleared the table and waited for the food to be served.

Plate after plate of pork elbows, braised pork, pork meatballs, sauerkraut stewed pork ribs, sweet and sour fish... and other rich dishes were served on the table.

All the villagers stood up and took the initiative to bring the dishes on the trays to the table.

Yuan Lao Er, Yuan Lao San, Yuan Lao Si and the two sons of the Shen and Ye families poured wine for the villagers together.

As for the women, each of them received a cup of Yaoyao milk tea, which was icy cold with ice cubes, and was very refreshing to drink.

This is the ice cube that Shen Chulan made according to the contents of the book given by Yaoyao. In the hot summer, a cup of ice-cold Yaoyao milk tea is especially refreshing. Now Yaoyao milk tea is very popular in Qingshui Building and is sold out every day.

The sound of men clinking glasses and playing rock-paper-scissors could be heard in Yuan's house.

Yaoyao held the chicken leg and ate it with her mouth full of oil. In a short while, she finished the whole chicken leg.

Old Lady Liu quickly picked up another piece of braised pork and gave it to Yaoyao. "Eat slowly, there's more."

"The food cooked by Liangqin is delicious." Yaoyao nodded, took a sip of Yaoyao milk tea, and continued to eat the braised pork. After finishing the meal, she raised her head and asked Old Lady Liu for pork meatballs.

After dinner, it was time for the one-year-old ceremony.

On a red cloth were placed a golden bowl, copper coins, a brush, a gourd, scissors, a wooden sword, an abacus, a flute, keys, ingots, a lucky bag, a rattle, the Three Character Classic, an official seal, etc.

Yaoyao's big round eyes quickly locked onto the target.

He lay on the ground and quickly grabbed the gold bowl, copper coins, abacus, ingots, lucky bag, and keys.

The Yuan family covered their faces and couldn't bear to watch.

Those who were arrested were all involved in money-related matters.

Other kids were satisfied with catching two or three, but Yaoyao caught six at once without even thinking.

The villagers were still trying to tell Yaoyao which one to catch, but before anyone could react, Yaoyao had already caught all of them.

It ended very suddenly.

My emotions were all ready, but I was just about to call you to tell me it was over?

Everyone closed their open mouths.

Mrs. Lin came out to help, smiling, "Yes, yes, this shows that Yaoyao is a person who sticks to her word and has her own opinions."

"Yes, Yaoyao is obviously a child with her own ideas. She aims at the target quickly and accurately and then attacks." Jiang Lingling clapped her hands in response.

Li Huarong rolled his eyes at Jiang Lingling and called her a flatterer.

"This is your own niece. How am I flattering her? You are really stupid." Jiang Lingling also rolled her eyes.

The villagers sat at Yuan's house and chatted for a while, then decided to go home.

The Yuan family took out the return gifts they had prepared in advance and asked the villagers to take them back.

After standing at the door of Yuan's house and refusing for a while, Old Lady Liu said with a fierce face that she would not accept it and told the villagers not to come to her house to chat next time. Only then did the villagers embarrassedly accept this generous gift.

It’s not that the villagers don’t want to accept them, it’s just that the gifts they give are completely not on the same level as the gifts the Yuan family sends back.

The food that Yuan’s family brought back contained a piece of fat pork belly, a fish, half a chicken, and a bag of rice cakes.

How dare they accept it?

Every villager thought to themselves that they would wait until their hens laid eggs and give them to the Yuan family.

It ended in a lively atmosphere.

The capital city is also bustling with activity.

The common people all knew that today was Princess Anguo's first birthday, and they all stood at the door of the Prime Minister's house with their own eggs, fish, and new clothes, saying that they wanted to give them to Princess Anguo.

After Taoist Hu’s explanation, they realized that they had misunderstood Princess Anguo.

Taoist Hu said that this happened because Princess Anguo was still young and could not control her abilities. When she grew up and her abilities stabilized, she would be able to contribute to the country.

When the common people heard this, they said that this was indeed possible. After all, it was a fact that Princess Anguo could speak as soon as she was born, which showed that Princess Anguo was sent by God to save them.

After half a year, whenever something happened in the capital, Princess Anguo would appear to solve it. It is said that someone saw a monster with no facial features and an animal upper body eating people when he went out in the middle of the night, which made people panic. Fortunately, it was the appearance of Princess Anguo that solved the matter.

It is said that the drought in the north has ended and the people there can now have enough food to eat. This is all thanks to Princess Anguo.

Now the emperor summons Princess Anguo to the palace every now and then.

In the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Red lanterns were hung high in the mansion, and the servants were all busy with happy faces.

If the master is happy, they will get rewards. Moreover, Princess Anguo is the lucky daughter of Anping State. As servants of Princess Anguo, they feel proud. When they go outside, as long as they say that they are servants of the Prime Minister's Mansion, the common people will look at them with envy and give them gifts.

On this important day, the emperor specially called off the morning court session and came in person to celebrate Princess Anguo's first birthday.

All officials gathered in the reception room of the Prime Minister's Mansion, with the emperor sitting at the top.

Now all the officials put aside their usual tit-for-tat, put on hypocritical smiles on their faces and talked and laughed, looking towards the backyard from time to time.

"Princess Anguo is here, and the eldest lady is here."

The words fell.

Two little girls in elegant clothes walked in shoulder to shoulder.

One is slightly thin, the other slightly fat.

The slightly thin little girl has tender cheeks and a pointed chin. Her eyes are clear and expressive, and her every move exudes the air of wealth.

The slightly plump little girl had round cheeks and her round eyes looked at the people in the living room curiously. Her every move was like that of a child.

All the officials knew who was Princess Anguo at a glance.

They didn't know why Princess Anguo and the eldest daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion came in together, but seeing that the emperor didn't look surprised, they didn't ask too much and could only explain that the eldest daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion was of the same noble status as Princess Anguo.
