The Comeback of the Charming Farmer's Wife-Chapter 2130 - 2132: Leaving Doors Unlocked at Night

With Lele’s reminder, Yang Chuxia noticed it too.

In every place, no matter how wealthy, there are always a few beggars, even under the Emperor’s reign. But here, she hadn’t seen one yet.

Lele’s voice wasn’t lowered, and it happened to be overheard by someone coming their way. This person seemed to be a young master from a noble family, but he looked rather arrogant.

He said, "People in our prefecture all have money. How could there be beggars?"

"Are there no beggars from outside?"

"Little ones, didn’t you notice at the city gate there are not only soldiers guarding but also bailiffs from the government? Beggars from outside can’t enter the city."

Seeing Lele silent, he glanced at Yang Chuxia and Ye Zi’an, secretly sighing at how good-looking this family was.

Seeing Ye Zi’an’s indifferent expression, he continued, "Here, people don’t lock their doors at night. There are not only no beggars but also no thieves. Every family doesn’t lack a couple of coins, so they wouldn’t stoop to those shameful acts."

"I see, thank you for informing us." Ye Zi’an cupped his hands and led the others away.

Then, they went to what was rumored to be the busiest street here. It was said that the shops here were specifically supplying the wealthy of the city.

The goods sold within included many brought from foreign dynasties and overseas. It’s said the merchandise inside is more comprehensive than that in the Capital City, with many items that aren’t available there but are found here. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶

"Indeed, much more upscale than those we visited earlier." Yang Chuxia remarked, "And there really is a wide range of items. This delicate pocket watch seems obviously imported from overseas, not sold even in the Capital City."

"It’s just ridiculously expensive." Lele fiddled with the little item in his hand, saying, "One costs a thousand taels, practically highway robbery."

"And you still buy it? So many of them?" Yang Chuxia glared at him with slight annoyance.

Although they visited numerous places, with many attractive things tempting them, Yang Chuxia couldn’t bear to spend the silver, so she didn’t buy anything.

But this young lad bought several pocket watches, splurging thousands of taels, like a little spendthrift.

"Buying more because there are many to give to. These are more practical than hourglasses, so let them be a bit expensive."

"Let’s head out again tomorrow. Let’s return to the inn now."

"Alright."

When the three returned to the inn, night had just fallen.

Wanting to overhear some interesting things, they didn’t go back upstairs when having their meal.

But when Ye Yi and the others came downstairs, Yang Chuxia noticed that Luo Linfei was following behind.

Yang Chuxia frowned slightly. What trick is this girl playing? Why is she staying at the same inn as them?

"Wow, so much good food?" Ye Liu stared at the items on the table, almost drooling.

"Go ahead and eat. There are many snacks here, smells enticing, just seeing them makes you want to buy even if not eating. You all go ahead and share."

"Ah, thank you, Madam." Ye Liu grinned and happily carried things to another table.

The waiter serving the dishes overheard and said, "Our prefecture not only has plenty of food but also many beauties, and lots of pretty silks come from here."

"Really?" Yang Chuxia laughed, "More beauties than the Capital City?"

"Not necessarily more in number than the Capital City, but definitely prettier than the beauties there." The waiter replied, "You won’t believe it; go to Lanjiang River during the day, and every girl on the pleasure boats is of peerless beauty."

"What nonsense are you talking? Hurry up and serve the dishes!" The shopkeeper shouted, "The girls on those pleasure boats can compare to those from noble families in the Capital City?"
