Chapter 390: A sudden change in life, successfully relocated

Yun Yue nodded, she thought so too.

The two of them walked around and saw a temporary high platform with lanterns three meters high hanging on it, with all kinds of styles, even the dragon and phoenix lanterns were made lifelike.

Yun Yue looked at the magnificent dragon-shaped lantern and exclaimed: "Brother Chen, look at the dragon, so beautiful!"

Gu Chen nodded and exclaimed: "It's really surprising to see such craftsmanship in this small town."

Generally, artists with this kind of craft go to the Fucheng, how could they go to a small place like Chixia Town?

Gu Chen fell into deep thought, Yun Yue was still staring at the lanterns, pointing to a lotus lantern with stalks next to him and said, "Brother Chen, I want that."

The boss on the high platform heard this and smiled and said loudly: "I don't sell all the lanterns here unless you can guess the answer."

Gu Chen came to his senses and signaled the boss to ask for the question.

The boss pulled off the riddle hanging on the lantern of the tread lotus lantern and said loudly: "The remaining lamp sounds three times (one word) in the ear."

As soon as the boss finished reading, Yun Yue immediately said excitedly: "I know, it's Geng!"

The boss had been staring at Gu Chen, but suddenly heard Yun Yue's answer and was stunned for a moment. Then he smiled and said, "Miss is so smart. This lantern is yours."

Seeing Yun Yue holding the lantern with satisfaction, Gu Chen smiled bitterly: "Xiao Yue'er, I'll give it to you, why did you answer it yourself?"

Yun Yue was dissatisfied, and she changed her mind and thought, "Brother Chen, why don't we compare and see who gets more lanterns?"

The people watching the fun beside each other started to make excitement. Gu Chen was forced to get out of trouble and had no choice but to agree.

The boss on the platform didn't feel distressed, and said readily: "Since that's the case, then start!"

"Answer: I heard the dog barking in the woods, just write it."

"Run!" Yun Yue and Gu Chen said in unison.

The boss was stunned, "Who is this?"

The people watching the fun began to quarrel, some said it to Gu Chen, some said it to Yun Yue, and finally Gu Chen gave it to Yun Yue.

After guessing a series of riddles, there were fewer and fewer lanterns on the platform, leaving only two lanterns, dragon and phoenix.

Yun Yue and Gu Chen looked at each other and smiled, and said loudly to the boss: "I'll be here today, I won't play anymore! Boss, although this is a lantern activity, we can't take advantage of you. Here are ten taels of silver. Can you buy these lanterns for you?"

The boss was stunned and subconsciously wanted to refuse. At this time, a gust of wind blew, and the rack with lanterns swayed down. The people who were watching the fun screamed and retreated. Yun Yue was also picked up by Gu Chen and hid in a safe place.

When everyone came to their senses, they realized that the airs had not completely fallen down, but were caught by the boss.

The people then went up to help stand up the shelf again, but the two dragon and phoenix lanterns fell down. The phoenix lanterns were better. The candles inside were turned off and not destroyed, but the dragon lanterns were burned. Even the boss did not expect this and looked at the half-burned lantern with a look of pity.

Yun Yue was glad that no one was injured. Some children were frightened and hid in the arms of adults and cried loudly. Yun Yue simply sent out the winning lantern, leaving only the little tiger lantern that the tied lotus and Gu Chen won.

After the crowd dispersed, Gu Chen insisted on leaving ten taels of silver for the boss. The boss insisted on giving the phoenix-shaped lantern to Gu Chen. Before leaving, Gu Chen glanced at the dragon-shaped lantern that was burned in an unusual way.

Sitting in the carriage back to Yunyuan, Yun Yue said with gratitude: "Tonight is really dangerous, but if we hadn't kept winning the lanterns for others, the airs wouldn't have fallen down because of uneven pressure."

Yun Yue still feels embarrassed about this.

Gu Chen thought of the burned lantern, looked up at the phoenix-shaped lantern hanging outside the carriage, his eyes were thoughtful, and said in a deep voice: "Xiao Yue'er, I'll leave in two days. I don't know if you can come back this year when you are in the hairpin, but don't worry, your hairpin will definitely not be left."

When Yun Yue heard these words happily, her heart sank, and she was silent for a while before saying, "I find that every time I say goodbye to Brother Chen is extremely uncomfortable. When will we not be separated again?"

"We won't be separated after we get married!" Gu Chen pointed Yun Yue's head in a funny way.

The two of them came back with three lanterns, which made Yun Kangwen very excited. He had never attended such a grand event of guessing riddles when he grew up. Unfortunately, Liu Mingrou didn't want him to interfere with Yun Yue and Gu Chen, so she tried to find a reason to keep him at home.

Seeing that he was pitiful, Yun Yue simply gave him the phoenix-shaped lantern, which made Yun Kangwen's face look better.

Two days later, Gu Chen really left quietly as he said, as early as the morning, and left without saying goodbye as usual.

Yun Yue had become accustomed to it, and accepted the news calmly, turned to the main business of building the mansion. It was just spring, and Qunfangfei was also busy. She had to take care of many things, but she had no energy to hurt the spring and sigh at the farewell.

All the acres she ordered had been transported to the Nanbian Village. Yun Yue summoned the people in the village to start building the house. The wages were twice the normal wages. The villagers gritted their teeth and temporarily put down the farm work and ran over to build the house for her. Anyway, it would only take more than ten days to do so. It would be too late to start spring plowing after the house was built.

At the end of the first lunar month, nineteen small yards of brick houses rose up in this village. The villagers who built the houses couldn't understand who was going to live in their village.

The next day, the nineteen families packed their luggage and led them to this village under Yun Yue. Looking at the brand new adobe brick houses, they rubbed their eyes desperately, and exclaimed: "This...this...is this for us to live in?"

After receiving Yun Yue's affirmative answer, these people felt that they didn't even know how to go.

Yun Yue handed over the corresponding house deeds and land deeds to them. The other household gave four taels of silver. The farmers who received the money were so excited that they almost fainted. They were grateful to Yun Yue, and they all knelt down to her, saying, "There are some things on the house deeds and land deeds that belong to whom, and where are the fields for you to replace. You also know that the village is not very crowded, and the fields are all made of wasteland.

I have asked someone to search for you, but you still have to raise it yourself. The extra two taels of silver will be considered as compensation for you. If I have no objection, I will leave first. If I don’t understand the house deeds and land deeds, I can ask the village chief of this village. I have already explained it in advance."

Everyone knelt down again to Yun Yue. As for their opinions, what else is there? There is only a feeling of a pie falling from the sky and hitting their heads.
