The carriage wobbled as it headed towards Meihua Ferry Crossing, the wooden wheels clattering over the cobblestones.
As it emerged from the alley, Fuyou Street was exceptionally lively.
Over a dozen servants of the Chen family stood on the street holding bamboo baskets, distributing Xibing and benefits to passersby.
The Xibing were from the old shop Zhengxin House, stuffed with red dates, peanuts, longans, and lotus seeds.
The benefits were five coins wrapped in red paper, available to anyone who saw them. Some people repeatedly passed by Fuyou Street pretending to receive the benefits, but the Chen family's servants did not get angry, handing them out each time.
Even if they went back and forth two hundred times, it would only amount to one tael of silver, and the Chen family wasn't short of it.
Chen Ji sat in the carriage, lifting the curtain to look outside, and heard pedestrians curiously ask, "What grand event is happening with the Chen family?"
