Poor Family Laity

  Chapter 81, amazing

   "Sister, which direction are we going?"

  Standing on the wide street, Li Wuya and Li Qilang looked east and west, as if they didn't know what to do.

   "Go straight first!"

  Desheng Road was cleared. There were no pedestrians on the road, but the shops on both sides of the road were still there.

  The siblings looked at the dazzling array of shops along the street.

  I saw row upon row of houses in the city, including medicine shops, teahouses, wine shops, restaurants, foot shops, butcher shops, temples, public houses.

  Siblings stop and go, it’s strange to see this, and it’s also strange to see that, which vividly interprets the hillbilly entering the city.

   "Boss, those are definitely two fat sheep!"

  A little more than ten meters behind the siblings, a few idle street gangsters followed them at a leisurely pace.

   "The purses at the waists of both of them are heavy, and they must contain a lot of silver." The gangster said with a smile on his face.

  The young man wearing a fur head at the head rubbed his chin and said nothing, as if he was weighing something.

   "Boss, we don't want this fat sheep anymore?"

  The young man in the head glared at the younger brother: "Did I say no?" He said, squinting his eyes, "I don't know why those two little devils can enter the city gate at this time?"

  He has been around Deshengmen, and he has already figured out the temperament of the soldiers guarding the gate clearly. It is impossible for those people to let ordinary people enter the city at will.

  As soon as he heard that he had a background, the younger brother immediately gave up: "If you have a background, let's forget it, so as not to get into any trouble."

   For street gangsters like them, the most taboo thing is to offend noble people.

  If the nobleman raises his little finger, it may kill them.

The young man in Futou stared at his younger brother in disdain: "Look at your worthless appearance." Humming, he looked at the two bumpkins in front of him, "Even if those two brats have backgrounds, just look at their clothes, their behavior, and their backgrounds." Probably not too big."

In the imperial city, the younger brother still has some sharp eyesight, and immediately echoed: "The boss is still sharp-eyed, isn't he? Those two little devils have never seen the world at first glance, they are darker than me, and their status is not much higher go."

  In order to learn how to ride a horse, Li Wuya, Li Erya, and Li Qilang exposed themselves to the sun all the way, and the skin that had been raised in Rongcheng for several months turned dark again.

  The younger brother rubbed his hands, eager to try: "Boss, as usual, let Tang Guo go up to attract their attention, and then I bump into them and take their purses?"

  The young man in the head of the head was silent for a while: "Just in case, it's better to be cautious. I'll go and find out about them first. If there is really no trouble, then I will do it."

  The younger brother nodded hurriedly.

  There are many nobles in the capital, so be careful.

   It wasn’t just street gangsters who were eyeing Li Wuya and Li Qilang. When the siblings passed by a tea shop, an old fortune-teller outside the tea shop stopped them.

   "Two friends, please stay behind!"

  Li Wuya and Li Qilang froze for a moment, then turned their heads to look over.

The old Taoist’s eyes were dull and his eyes didn’t move. He was sitting on a stool, and in front of him was a wooden table with tortoise shells and a few copper coins. On one side is written magical calculation.

  The old man put one hand on the wooden table and stroked his white beard with the other, showing an inscrutable look.

  It was the first time Li Qilang saw a fortune teller. He walked over curiously, and waved his hand in front of the old Taoist: "Old man, can you see?"

  The old Taoist smiled without saying a word, acquiescing to Li Qilang's words.

  Li Qilang was surprised: "Since you can't see it, how do you know about us?"

  The blind old man raised an unpredictable smile: "The two little friends passed by the old man, and the old man smelled a different smell."

Li Qilang's eyes widened, then he raised his arms and smelled them, and then said with his face crossed: "After practicing martial arts in the morning, I was in a hurry and forgot to take a bath. Everyone smelled it!"

   As he spoke, he looked at Li Wuya.

   "Sister, it's no wonder people keep looking at us along the way. It turns out that it's because of the smell of sweat on my body."

  Hearing this, the old blind man couldn't help but twitched a few times.

  The young man in Futou, who stepped forward to explore the truth, burst out laughing with a "Puff!" Seeing Li Wuya and Li Qilang looking over, he immediately walked over.

   "Old Banxian, the fate of these two little friends is good, so you don't have to forget it."

   After finishing speaking, he winked at the siblings and motioned them to follow him.

  Seeing Li Wuya, the corners of her mouth twitched, she glanced at the blind old man with a smile, and followed with Li Qilang.

  The blind old man was a little unhappy when he saw the young man in Futou come to steal his business, he snorted twice, trying to pull Li Wuya and Li Qilang back.

   "The complexion is not good, there may be a **** disaster."

  The old man had a long accent, shaking his head and sighing.

   "Old man, be careful what comes out of your mouth!"

  Li Wuya kept walking, and replied lightly.

  Hearing this, the Futou young man and the blind old man froze at the same time.

  Li Qilang knew Li Wuya well, and when he heard what she said, he immediately reacted: "Sister, is that person a fake fortune teller?"

Li Wuya: "I don't know if he can tell fortunes, but he is pretending to be blind." As he spoke, he shook his head, "Liars in the capital are too unprofessional. They pretend to be blind with their eyes open. They really treat people like fools." .”

  Li Qilang sighed: "So there are liars in the capital!"

  The young man in Futou who was walking in front laughed aloud. Seeing Li Wuya and Li Qilang looking over, he clasped his fists with a smile and said, "I'm Xia Gan Fanren. I'm the second in the family. You can call me Gan Erlang."

  Li Wuya glanced at him strangely: "The cook?"

  Gan Fanren was puzzled: "Is there something wrong?"

  Li Wuya shook her head: "No, your name is very good!"

  Gan Fanren raised his chin: "My mother specially asked Mr. Xiucai to pick it up."

  Li Wuya: "It suits you quite well."

  Gan Fanren looked humble: "The elders in the family have always hoped that I can become a kind person, and I am working hard towards this."

  Li Qilang interjected: "So, you just stood up on purpose to prevent the old man from lying to us?"

  Gan Fanren smiled and said nothing, seeing that Li Wuya and Li Qilang just looked at him without any expression, not even a word of thanks, his heart turned, and he said immediately: "Is this your first time in the capital?"

  Li Wuya and Li Qilang nodded together: "Yes."

  Gan Fanren saw that the two were interested in this topic, and quickly continued: "Although the capital is the most prosperous place in the world, there are many people who can't afford to eat, so it is inevitable that there will be some thieves and liars."

  Li Wuya looked at Gan Fanren: "You know the capital very well?"

  Gan Fanren smiled: "I was born in the capital and grew up in the capital. I know every place in the capital like the back of my hand."

  Li Wuya's eyes lit up: "Really? Then can you show us around?"

  Li Qilang: "Where is the liveliest place and the most delicious food?"

  Gan Fanren was not impatient at all: "It is my honor to lead the way for the two little friends, but, don't the two little friends wait for the elders in the family?"

  Li Qilang: "No need to wait, they are still queuing outside the city, and it may take a long time to come in."

  Gan Fanren was stunned for a moment: "The elders are waiting outside the city, how did you get in?"

  This time it was Li Wuya and Li Qilang's turn to laugh and not speak.

  Gan Fanren cursed inwardly as a 'little devil', and continued to laugh: "Did you move your family to the capital?"

  Li Wuya nodded: "Yes!"

   "That's what I saw." Gan Fanren asked again: "What do you do for a living at home?"

  Li Wuya: "No business."

  Gan Fanren was stunned: "The cost of the capital is not small, how can we live without making a living?"

  Li Wuya said confidently: "We are still young, this is not something we should consider."

  Gan Fanren: "."

  Li Qilang saw that he was walking slowly like a snail, and was not happy: "You are so annoying, ask, endlessly, what do you ask about our family?"

  Gan Fanren's expression froze.

  Where did this bumpkin come from, don't you know how to speak tactfully?

   "It's our fate to be able to get to know the two little friends. One can't help but want to know more, so that we can visit in the future."

  Li Qilang's complexion became even worse: "We've only met for the first time, and you're going to our house, you're too thick-skinned."

  Gan Fanren didn't want to talk anymore.

   Now he understands the reason why some big brothers in the street don't want to deal with the idiots in the country, they are too bad at talking!

  Li Wuya was worried that his younger brother would kill the guide, so he hurriedly said, "Take us around!"

Gan Fanren glanced at the bulging purses of the two, and smiled again: "We are standing on Desheng Road now. After the road is cleared, there will be nothing to see. Brother, if you want to eat delicious food, you have to go to Beishi , it’s the busiest place there.”

  Li Qilang hurriedly urged: "Then hurry up, you will lead the way."

  Gan Fanren once again cursed in his heart, these two brats are really rude.

  When he turned around, Li Qilang pulled Li Wuya and whispered: "Sister, there is something wrong with this person, he always looks at my purse!"

  Li Wuya gave Li Qilang a calm look: "It's okay, we just need a guide, let him guide us!"

  Li Qilang nodded, thought for a while, a little worried, and put the purse around his waist into his arms.

  Gan Fanren saw Li Qilang's small movements out of the corner of his eye, and his face froze for a moment.

   Did the kid discover his purpose?

   It shouldn't be, he shouldn't have revealed any flaws.

   "Speaking of the markets in the capital, the most lively ones are the East Market and the West Market, but both are too far away, and even going to the North Market will take a lot of time."

   "The outer city is too big, and it takes more than two hours to get to Beishi from here just by foot power."

  Seeing that Li Wuya and Li Qilang frowned, Gan Fanren smiled again: "However, we can make oil wall carts, and we can reach Beishi in half an hour."

  Li Wuya: "Oil wall car?"

  Gan Fanren nodded, and took his siblings into a car dealership.

  Many people stood in the car dealership, Gan Fanren walked up to a middle-aged man and whispered a few words, then waved to Li Wuya and Li Qilang.

  Then, the siblings followed Gan Fanren into a carriage drawn by three horses.

  The carriage has a carriage, but there are no walls on all sides, only four pillars support the roof, and transparent silk cloth is hung on all sides.

  The car is three meters wide and five meters long, and can hold ten people at a time.

  When Li Wuya and Li Qilang sat down, there were already five or six people in the car, both men and women.

   This really shocked Li Wuya, isn’t this the ancient version of the bus!

   "I'll tie up the silk cloth, and later you can see the street scene along the way." Gan Fanren thoughtfully **** the silk cloth where the siblings were sitting.

  Li Wuya turned her body sideways to avoid encountering Gan Fanren, looked outside, and sighed: "The design is really thoughtful!"

   It didn't take long for the crowd to gather, and then the bus moved and drove into a 20-meter-wide street.

   "Desheng Road leads directly to Beishi. It's a pity that we can't walk today, so we have to take a detour." Gan Fanren looked regretful.

  Li Wuya was shocked again, the street was divided into left and right lanes!

  In the middle of the street, a meter-long wooden railing divides the road into two sides. One side of the road is driving to the left and the other side is going to the right. There is no need to worry about colliding with the opposite side when the carriage is running on the road.

  Li Wuya looked at Gan Fanren: "Are all other streets in the capital this wide?"

  Gan Fanren shook his head: "Of course not. The east-west avenue is 30 meters wide, while other small streets are only 20 meters wide. The hutongs in the workshop are only 8 meters wide."

  Li Wuya: "In the workshop?"

  Gan Fanren: "The capital city is governed according to the districts. We usually live in the inner squares. Each square has a rammed earth wall two or three meters high, and there are square gates on all sides of the wall."

  Li Wuya was silent, this is a bit like the layout of Chang'an City in Tang Dynasty.

  Afterwards, as the carriage moved, Gan Fanren explained interesting things about the capital to Li Wuya and Li Qilang from time to time.

  Li Wuya saw other oil wall carts running on the street, some of them had four horses or six horses, and they all had the same style.

  Every carriage is full of people.

  Seeing that there were men and women in the carriage, Li Wuya's eyes flickered: "Girls in the capital can go out at will?"

Gan Fanren looked at Li Wuya in surprise, and clasped his fists in mid-air: "When Empress Wende was alive, she gave repeated orders and repeated orders that women were not allowed to be confined in the back house. Women from Great Chu can be officials and do business, so naturally they can go out of."

   As he spoke, he looked at Li Wuya and Li Qilang strangely.

   "Why don't you even know this?"

   What remote place is this a country bumpkin? !

  Other people in the carriage also heard Gan Fanren's words, and looked at the siblings with the eyes of bumpkins.

  Li Wuya was silent and didn't ask any more questions, but soon, she discovered a new problem. The driver of the carriage was actually a sixth-rank warrior.

   "The drivers driving this carriage are all warriors?"

  Gan Fanren was taken aback by this question: "How do you know that the coachman is a warrior?" He didn't seem to have told them this.

  Li Wuya: "Look."

  Gan Fanren's heart tightened: "Yes, in order to avoid collision accidents, the drivers of the oil wall car are all warriors, and they have to take a driver's license before driving."

  Li Wuya sighed again: "It's really thoughtful."

  Gan Fanren was a little confused, he didn't know whether to continue to act, according to his plan, he was going to take the purses of the two little devils in the carriage.

  When he was tying the silk cloth just now, he wanted to do it, but the two siblings turned sideways just now, and he couldn't do it at all.

  The little girl can actually tell that the coachman is a warrior. Does she also know kung fu?

  Gan Fanren hesitated. After chatting for so long, he hadn't found out the details of the two of them, which made him a little uncertain.

   Along the way, Li Wuya and Li Qilang were watching the scenery on the street. The carriage stopped from time to time, and some people got off and got on.

   After half an hour, the coachman called out: "Beishi is here."
