Zhao Ruifeng looked at Zhao Yingying deeply, “Forgrt it. I’ll try it out by myself tomorrow. I can’t return empty-handed with my martial arts skills, right? ” If his father had not cried and begged him to go, he would not have bothered to participate in this activity. Well, it was not just his father. His relationship with his father was not good to begin with, so he did nothave to listen to his father. The main reason was that the Emperor was probably afraid of his bad luck, so he wanted him to try and see if it could remove the bad luck. This way, he could enter the house to attend the court in the winter and not have to stand at the door. Going in to attend the court was such a luxurious wish. He was an extremely high official. The great general who was only beneath one person and above tens of thousands of people could not even enter the court! As soon as he entered the door, the Emperor could not wait to hang amulets from head to toe, and even greatly shortened the time of the court session, afraid that he would be infected by Zhao Ruifeng’s bad luck!


“Prepare a banquet at home tomorrow. A noble has come to Jing City and I’m afraid you’ll have to accompany him. Zhao Panpan might come tomorrow, probably because the prince is here for a private visit.” Zhao Ruifeng lowered his voice and said to Zhao Yingying.


Zhao Yingying furrowed her brows. “So, the rumors about next year’s concubine selection are true?” She asked. Zhao Panpan was the eldest daughter brought in by their stepmother, Xiao Meili. There was once a state preceptor who divined Zhao Panpan’s future and said that Zhao Panpan’s status would be unspeakable.


A sneer appeared on Zhao Ruifeng’s face. The fact that such a remote place like Happy Town could attract so many distinguished people showed that the rumors from more than ten years ago were not groundless. Zhao Ruifeng’s father had secretly raised Xiao Meili in Happy Town, and Zhao Panpan was born here eighteen years ago. When the crown prince was born, he was caught up in an internal strife in the imperial palace and was kidnapped to Happy Town. It was said that Xiao Meili had raised the crown prince for a period of time, which was why the empress was so fond of Xiao Meili. Even the day of the fight for fortunes in Happy Town was set at that time. The crown prince and Zhao Panpan had been connected since they were children.


“Regardless of whether it’s true or not, I will never forget the revenge for my mother.” Zhao Ruifeng stepped out of the door, and Zhao Yingying’s white face also showed sadness. The Zhao family was in a mess, and her brother was worried about her being alone. Xiao Meili was now in charge of the Zhao family’s courtyard. If only her brother could find her a powerful sister-in-law, she would have someone to rely on. Zhao Yingying was sitting at the dining table, looking forward to having a good sister-in-law, but she did not know that her sister-in-law was right in front of her!


The next day, the entire Happy Town was enveloped in a joyful atmosphere. Along the streets were small vendors peddling their wares. What was different this year from previous years was that the outside of the mansion was surrounded by three layers of soldiers. These soldiers looked different from the usual slack and listless soldiers. These soldiers had all seen blood and were all very fierce.


“Mother, I’ve found the Cheng family’s Young Miss to fight for fortune with me. I’ll go find her first!” Jiang Er said to Yang Fen in a happy tone, wearing a new set of clothes.


Yang Fen had long given up on the idea of marriage exchange, but she did not stop Jiang Er when she saw him like this. On the contrary, Jiang Er would not suffer any losses anyway. Thinking so, she even gave Jiang Er 200 yuan, which made Jiang Er overjoyed. He touched the money he had saved and left with a smile.


The people of Happy Town rushed to the Happy River early in the morning. Those who came early could grab the front seats, but this year was different. There seemed to be soldiers with knives guarding the place, but this did not affect the enthusiasm of the people.


“This year, your Happy Village will definitely lose. Good luck won’t always be in your village!” Some young people from Qingfu Village gathered together and did not forget to talk tough with the people from Happy Village. Yang Kun also said that he was from Qingfu Village, so he also stood in the middle of the group of young people and challenged the people from Happy Village.


“Our Happy Village has never lost in a competition of luck! The young men and women of Happy Village did not give in either! The people who robbed the lucky fish could form teams at will, both male and female, but the number of people had to be limited to 50. All 50 people could go into the quagmire, or they could choose one person to stay on the bank to command. This lucky fish was also called the marriage fish. Many young people who were engaged or were interested in each other could take the opportunity to get familiar with each other while snatching the lucky fish. The women would stand on the bank to command, and the men would catch fish in the river.


At this time, there were already many people standing in the quagmire, and the back of the fish in the quagmire could be vaguely seen shimmering. On the riverbank, a large group of armed guards were vaguely protecting someone in the middle. The county master, who was usually respected by everyone, was standing beside them with his head lowered and his back bent, his face servile.
