Chapter 318: The most admired

Yun Tao couldn't help laughing when she heard such precise words. She had never known that the person in front of her could be so eloquent and could express such words of resistance so affectionately.

Yuntao didn't hesitate too much and pulled Li Qianchen out through the side door.

There is no need to bring Xinlu Xinrui, but Wei Litao must.

Wei Litao, who quietly hid his whereabouts and followed behind Yuntao, raised his eyes and looked at the two people meeting each other not far away.

Silently sighing in his heart, he finally understood why the sun was so dazzling! It even blinded his eyes in the middle of winter! How disgusting!

Although it is winter, the scenery and sunshine in Li'an are very beautiful, and the sun is warm on people's bodies.

Even on the day before Chinese New Year, the streets are very lively.

Mainly because the young masters from the aristocratic families are still there, and the merchants coming and going are busy moving goods and selling them at a good price in the spring.

If they don't leave, the service staff from all walks of life cannot be cut off, including the rickshaw pullers on the street, the shops selling goods, the cooks and waiters in the restaurants, etc...

Although celebrating the New Year is important, compared with making money, everyone knows clearly which one is more important.

Moreover, these gentlemen are more generous during the Chinese New Year and reward their subordinates with more money, so those people who are engaged in the service industry are even more reluctant to leave.

For a time, people were coming and going on the street, and it was very lively.

"The prosperity of Li'an is not bad compared to the capital city." Li Qianchen boasted.

"Really? I haven't been to the capital yet." Yuntao said, looking at the cement gray city walls.

The city wall was newly built in recent years. The fired clay bricks inside are mixed with cement ash, which looks a bit rough.

Even if it is a cement wall that has been smoothed as hard as possible without any grainy texture, it is not only resistant to dirt and wear, but also windproof and rainproof.

But for Yun Tao, who had seen the prosperity of their world, it was really gray and not very good-looking. She wanted to use other colors, but unfortunately the paint was too expensive and she couldn't afford it.

But the people liked it very much.

Even in the eyes of some wealthy businessmen, the color of the Li'an city wall is more dazzling than any city in the Jin Dynasty, and it is their dream city.

"You can't find such an old man coming out with his grandson in the capital." Li Qianchen said.

The Jin Dynasty promoted filial piety from top to bottom.

In a family where people read poetry and books, the old man in the family always talks about everything.

But in poor families, many elderly people are too old to work and are in an extremely embarrassing position.

It is even a custom in many places for the elderly to seek death themselves when they get older, not to mention those suffering from serious illnesses. Even in the capital, it is difficult to see so many elderly people taking their grandchildren to the streets.

The south is so barren that many families cannot even afford to raise children, let alone the elderly.

"Well..." Yuntao nodded, "Maybe it's because older people can receive some food."

After Li'an became rich, she gave a monthly portion of food to the fifty-year-old man.

It’s not too much, it’s enough to be half full.

"More than that." Li Qianchen said, looking at an old man carrying a bamboo basket, who was slowly walking towards a stall on the street.

The owner of the stall is a man in his thirties, who seems to be his son.

He walked to the stall and put down the goods one by one. His son handed over water hyacinth and dry biscuits. The father and son ate the biscuits on the street and hawked the knickknacks on the stall.

"It's because Li'an got rich!" Yuntao sighed.

There are endless new things coming out of Li'an, and the entire Dajin region serves as the export market for Li'an's products.

To be honest, it is really difficult to not be rich in Li'an.

"Come on, let's go over there and have a look." Yuntao said with Li Qianchen.

In addition to hawkers, there are also many jugglers on the street, and bursts of cheers can be heard. They are the most lively ones.

However, the place where this person gathered the most was not next to the jugglers, but in front of the stage on the second floor of a shop.

Yuntao pulled Li Qianchen towards the crowd and saw a girl in red standing on the second floor. She was gorgeously dressed and looking at the people in the audience openly.

There was a lot of people standing under the stage.

"Today my lady chooses a husband!"

"My young lady is the only daughter of Dai's cloth shop. Now she is of marriageable age. The master and his wife are very anxious and came up with this idea to recruit a son-in-law."

"The selection of a son-in-law is divided into a literary test and a martial arts test. The top three candidates in the literary test and the martial arts test can be invited to be honored guests of my Dai Mansion..."

The butler in the audience shouted at the top of his lungs.

Some people in the audience immediately shouted: "Should your family choose the number one scholar or the uncle?"

"Can a weak scholar compete with a woodcutter in martial arts? Or do you want a woodcutter to compete with a scholar in reciting poems?" The people in the audience immediately booed.

Yuntao mingled among the crowd and felt that it made sense.

"How does this compare?"

"That's right!"

When the pretty girl standing on the second floor heard this, not only did she not hesitate, but she immediately leaned on the railing and shouted up and down.

"Of course there are men with both civil and military skills in this world. Even if there aren't, I can wait!"

"If I can't choose this time, I will choose again! My husband must be outstanding in talent and appearance!"

"Miss, what do you think of me!" A shameless man immediately shouted.

"No, no, you're too short!" the little girl said in disgust.

"Miss, what about me!"

"You are too old. You look older than my father..."

"...You are so ugly that I'm afraid of having nightmares at night."

Every time the little girl answered a man, she made everyone in the audience burst into laughter.

A well-mannered scholar stood for a long time and came forward and asked, "Don't you think it's too frivolous for the young lady to choose a husband like this?"

"Why is Meng Lang so frivolous?"

"Young ladies shouldn't judge people by their appearance!"

Hearing that the little girl on the stage was a little angry, her eyes widened immediately: "How can I judge a person by his appearance? I'm not bad looking. Is it wrong to want a husband with an upright appearance?"

"I come from a wealthy family, I am young and beautiful, why should I have to embarrass myself!"

This is quite true.

Yuntao thought for a moment that she fit into the four idioms of being rich, noble and beautiful, then she raised her head and took a look at Li Qianchen beside her.

The man is talented and the woman is beautiful, and they are in love with each other.

very good!

Li Qianchen didn't know what Yuntao was thinking, so he squeezed her palm when he saw the smile on her lips getting deeper.

"Are you laughing at this little girl?" Li Qianchen asked warmly.

"No, I think what she said makes sense. You are very good."

After hearing this, Li Qianchen wanted to pinch the face of the little girl in front of him, but considering it was inappropriate outside, he leaned over and said in her ear: "Well, it's only good for you."

The hot and humid breath sprayed against Yun Tao's earlobes, itching and burning. It immediately made her face feel hot and spread like red clouds.

She has little experience, she hears little love talk, she blushes easily, and checks her face without looking at him.

A gust of wind blew over, bringing a burst of coolness, and also relieved the temperature on Yuntao's face.
