Chapter 96 Smooth sailing, all wishes fulfilled_1

The setting sun was half-submerged in the river, its surface glimmering like scattered gold, dazzling to the eyes.

Scattered across the empty river, sparse fishing boats with their modest catch sailed through the golden waters, hawking large fish, only two cents apiece.

Passersby hurried along the riverside, would hail the fishermen, exchange a few words, drop a couple of copper coins, and pick up a large fish for New Year's Eve's dinner.

The crackling of firecrackers from the end of the long street drowned out the fishermen's sales pitches.

Wealthy families had started setting off firecrackers early, and the sounds wouldn't cease from sunset until sunrise the next day.

Liang Qu tied up his boat, picked up the Azure Dragon Carp, and hurried ashore, heading towards Yang Mansion.

The passerby who bought fish couldn't help but hide the large grass carp they just purchased behind them upon seeing the dazzling blue sheen of the Azure Dragon Carp.

A truly marvelous scene.
