It was only in front of Zhao Chen that Li Ruoshuang showed such a look.
Although Li Ruoshuang's personality has changed a lot after becoming a mother, her hot temper is still the same as before.
Seeing Zhao Chen stretching out an arm, Li Ruoshuang gritted her teeth and held his arm around Zhao Chen.
The three of them went out of the inn and saw the bustling streets.
On both sides of the street are teahouses, taverns, pawn shops and workshops.
There are some open spaces on both sides, and there are many small vendors with large umbrellas on the open space.
The street extends to the east and west sides, extending to the road when Zhao Chen and the others came outside the city.
There are constant pedestrians on the street.
Some carry loads and drive ox carts to deliver goods, and some drive donkeys to pull trucks.
There is a winding river beside the street.
Many people stopped here.
With the tall city tower as the center, the houses on both sides are lined up, including tea shops, wine shops, butchers shops, temples, public houses, etc.
Although it is far less prosperous than Chang'an, it is also a prosperous scene.
"I used to hear from my father that the people of the Tang Dynasty lived a very difficult life, and many people couldn't even eat enough."
"This place is far from Chang'an, but this scene seems to be pretty good." Li Ruoshuang held Zhao Chen's arm, looked at the scene in front of him, and said with a smile.
She believed that her father Li Jing was definitely not lying to her.
But in the past two years, the changes in the Tang Dynasty have been too great.
In other words, since Zhao Chen appeared, the living standards of the people in the Tang Dynasty have been greatly improved.
At least in the past two years, Li Ruoshuang has not heard anyone say that some people in the Tang Dynasty starved to death.
"Many things are hidden in the dark and will not be seen by us."
"Of course, I also hope that the scene in front of me will be the same in every place in the Tang Dynasty." Zhao Chen said.
Whether the people can have a meal is not only improved production technology, but also the character of officials.
"You thought of something in Qizhou again?" Li Ruoshuang and Zhao Chen asked.
Zhao Chen just nodded and did not say anything about it again.
Instead, he looked at Ping'an in his arms: "Dad takes you to have something delicious."
"Okay." Ping An nodded repeatedly.
Although she couldn't eat anything, Ping An would be very happy as long as Zhao Chen took her out to play.
For a one-year-old girl, the sight is fresh.
The three of them arrived at a restaurant. Before they could walk in, they saw a few ragged beggars outside the restaurant.
He was lowering his head and eating leftovers from the restaurant.
Zhao Chen glanced at it and then entered the restaurant.
"Young master, please come here." The waiter of the restaurant led the three of them to the corner and added tea to the three of them.
"Waiter, why are there so many beggars at the door? Are you not afraid of affecting your business?" Zhao Chen and the waiter in the restaurant asked.
The waiter in the restaurant was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Young Master doesn't know that those beggars were fleeing from Qizhou. Our shopkeeper is kind and it is not easy to see them, so he didn't drive them away. The rest of the day
Give them some leftovers.”
"Is there a fleeing in Qizhou?"
"Isn't something happened in Qizhou?"
"Why are there some people who escaped?" Zhao Chen showed a look of confusion on his face.
The waiter in the restaurant glanced at the surroundings, lowered his voice, and said to Zhao Chen: "Young Master, I don't know anything. Sometimes people's hearts are more terrifying than natural disasters."
"According to our shopkeeper, the beggars outside were once all well-known figures in Qizhou."
"But who made them offend people they shouldn't?"
"I heard that there were a large-scale riots in Qizhou a few days ago, and there were many..."
"Waiter, where have you died? Why don't you come here and serve the uncle with a drink."
Before the waiter of the restaurant finished speaking, he heard someone else scolding him.
He showed a sorry smile with Zhao Chen and then left quickly.
"Did you offend someone you shouldn't offend?"
"It's really interesting." Zhao Chen smiled and said softly.
"What did they offend people they shouldn't?"
"The highest official position in Qizhou, the governor of Qizhou, dares to do this, and are not afraid of being stabbed to Chang'an?" Li Ruoshuang frowned.
She felt that this matter could easily be exposed to Chang'an, but why did the officials in Qizhou not seem to be afraid at all?
"The governor of Qizhou is nothing, but if someone in the court helps them cover up, they will be in love with them, or say."
"The affairs in Qizhou are actually handled by the big figures in the court?" Zhao Chen said with a smile.
Li Ruoshuang's expression changed slightly.
She was thinking, if Qizhou was really as Zhao Chen said, the big guy in the court was behind the scenes, then...
"Young Master, your food is here." The waiter brought the food, and suddenly turned back before leaving.
"Young Master, don't talk about Qizhou outside. This thing is now a taboo topic. If you talk too much, it will easily lead to accidents."
"Several people use it." After the waiter in the restaurant said, he left with a smile.
There are quite a few people eating in the restaurant.
But there are not many people talking, especially if someone mentions the word Qizhou, they will be immediately stopped by their companions.
Obviously, the incident in Qizhou has had a far-reaching impact.
It is hundreds of miles away from Qizhou, but the people here dare not talk about this.
The man in the court will not have too little power.
...
After dinner, he accompanied Li Ruoshuang and his daughter to stroll on the street.
On the way, I met Cheng Chumo and Princess Qinghe and bought jewelry in the store.
Cheng Chumo didn't feel embarrassed at all.
Princess Qinghe shrank her head and did not dare to look at Zhao Chen.
Why did Zhao Chen say something? Walk into the jewelry store where the two of them just entered.
When the shopkeeper saw another customer coming to the door, he immediately came to meet him.
"Young Master, I have to choose a few pieces of jewelry for my wife and precious daughter, sit down and have a cup of tea." The shopkeeper invited several people to sit down and brought tea in person.
The shopkeeper glanced at Zhao Chen and the other two in front of him.
With his many years of experience in business, he still has a top leader in identifying people.
The shopkeeper immediately understood that the three people in front of him must be not ordinary people.
If they can do their business, they will definitely make a big profit.
"What good jewelry do you have here? Can you take it out and take a look?" Zhao Chen put down the teacup and said to the shopkeeper.
"Yes, the jewelry in the store is all first-class and good, all from famous craftsmen."
"What type of person wants, you can tell the villain. The villain will get it for the young master now." The shopkeeper said with a smile.
Usually, people are served tea. If a customer drinks tea, it means that he really wants to do business with him.
If you don't want to do business, you won't even drink tea.
No one wants to be taken advantage of, this is a secret rule.
Of course, there will be people who are ignorant of the situation.
But the shopkeeper believed that the three people in front of him would not.
"I'm going to match my wife and daughter with a set of jewelry. You can see what's right, and you can take it over and show it to us."
"Price is not a problem, but the quality must be good." Zhao Chen looked at Li Ruoshuang and Ping'an beside him and said to the shopkeeper.
"Okay, okay, young master, don't worry."
"I wonder how many people envy the lady and the young lady have such a heartache."
