Long live Emperor Wu!

Chapter 277 Five hundred coins and one stone?

Wu Rou was happy and asked:

"and after?"

Arthur's face showed a little embarrassment and said:

"We are all from the same clan, and we have something to say. Later, we talk a lot, and we reach the same place. Although he is not of high status and is not rich, he is willing to listen to me in everything. I am very contented now."

"Then do you have any children? I haven't seen them this time." Wu Rou asked.

"Yes, there are two of them, but our silk and satin shop is too messy after all. It is noisy every day. We bought a small house for his parents to watch and it is convenient for him to attend private school."

At this time, Li Shan, who was sitting next to Wu Rou, rolled his eyes and reached out to pull Wu Rou.

Wu Rou quickly lowered the curtain of the car window, sat up straight, and turned her head to listen to him.

"I've never seen anything like a private school. Let's go to a private school later. Ask her if it's far."

When Wu Rou heard this, the smile on her face became gentler and even a little loving. She reached out and pinched his cheek gently and said:

"Why are we, Jiuro, like Hong'er now? We want to know everything."

Li Shan didn't expect Wu Rou to be so bold. His eyes suddenly widened, he reached out and patted her hand down, and whispered:

"Wang Zhi, the child is here, do you still act like a mother?"

Wu Rou then glanced at her son Li Hong.

Five-year-old Li Hong stretched out his little hand, covered his eyes, and said obediently:

"My son, I didn't see anything."

Wu Rou looked proudly at Li Shan's face again. Li Shan's cheeks turned red uncomfortably, and he sat up straight and stopped talking.

Wu Rou saw that he was still not relaxed, so she teased him and said:

"Didn't you once say that you wanted to be a leisurely prince, sitting or standing? Now is the opportunity, and I haven't seen you relax at all. You can show me the sitting or not-sitting posture first."

Li Shan was extremely speechless. Seeing that he could not control her mouth with persuasion, he simply covered her with his hands and whispered:

"I've already said that it's not good to be in front of children. Hong'er is trying to imitate something. Aren't you afraid that he'll do something bad? Just be patient and wait until there are only two of us before you talk nonsense again. "

Wu Rou looked at her son, who was still covering his eyes, and saw that Li Hong had quietly exposed a little of his fingers to observe them, and thought so.

Such an older child can't tell the difference between joking and serious things, and it's hard to explain if he learns badly.

So she nodded obediently, and Li Shan let go when he saw that she was quiet.

The couple sat together in a serious manner, even a little funny.

I don't know how long it took.

The carriage stopped in front of an alley.

Wu Rou opened the car curtains and looked outside. The alley was full of people, selling fruits and vegetables, grains, rice, baskets and other small handicrafts. It was packed to the brim.

It looked like they were all old farmers in simple clothes, and the crowds were surging and it was very lively.

Arthurs said:

"This is a place where nearby farmers have their produce and sell it together. You can know the market price of grain here."

She scratched her face and said:

"It's just that there are too many people here and it's quite dirty. I'm afraid..."

Here, Li Shan had already got out of the carriage with the help of Yan Wei and said:

"It's okay, just go in and take a look and come out."

Yan Wei looked at the crowded and chaotic crowd and felt a little uncomfortable. He whispered into Li Shan's ear:

"The situation here is too complicated. How about I go inside and ask for His Majesty's behalf." Li Shan turned around, looked at him with a strange look, and said:

"I am sitting in the palace, and I haven't heard enough of people's reports. I have to go to the streets and stand outside to listen to you again? Why, my ears and eyes are only qualified to accept second-hand news? "

Such a tone of indignation and plaint made Yan Wei stand up straight and shut his mouth tightly in fright, with only one pair of eyes expressing loyalty.

Wu Rou happened to get off the carriage and stood behind them. She heard the conversation clearly. She gently pulled Li Shan's sleeve and said:

"He is also worried that you are not safe."

"What's not safe? I'm also a martial arts practitioner, so I can protect myself. Besides, do the people here know who we are?"

Wu Rou thought about it. If no one knew who they were, there would be no assassination, so she said to Yan Wei:

"Just keep an eye on the young master. There are many people and the child is short and can get lost easily."

When Yan Wei heard this, his eyes flashed with fear, and he immediately picked up Li Hong and let him sit on his arms.

Li Shan was stunned.

When Wu Rou saw this, she couldn't help but raise her sleeves, cover her mouth and smile:

"fair enough."

They followed Arthur into the alley.

Although the alley is paved with stone slabs compared to the main road, it is full of rotten vegetable leaves and water stains from the river fresh food sold. It is very messy with people passing by each other.

Even though they were wearing ordinary people's clothes, the material of silk and satin was still very eye-catching among the ordinary people, attracting many people to stop and stare.

"What's wrong with them?" Li Shan looked down at his clothes and asked with some confusion.

I thought to myself that there are many men and women dressed like this on the street, why do they look at them as if they are alien.

Arthur bowed slightly and explained:

"Nobles usually don't come here. If someone from a wealthy family needs something, they will send their servants to buy it. It seems that you two are not people who take orders from others, so they feel strange."

Upon hearing this, Li Shan pulled his cloak, turned his head and whispered to Wu Rou next to him:

"Next time we go out, would it be better if we dress like commoners?"

Wu Rou couldn't help but curled her lips and said:

"Have you ever heard of Jiulang? There is a saying that even if you put on a dragon robe, you don't look like a prince? The opposite is also true. If Jiulang puts on a commoner, he doesn't look like a commoner. On the contrary, it will make people feel even more strange."

After hearing this, Li Shan carefully observed the stunned people around him.

Most of them stood crookedly, as if they had never straightened their backs. Their hands and faces were rougher and more miserable than those of the slaves in the palace, and their eyes always flashed with panic and confusion...

These are all traces of years of wind and frost erosion. They cannot be changed by a piece of clothing. He really cannot learn from them.

He suddenly felt some compassion in his heart. After walking a few steps, he casually stopped beside an old woman selling millet and asked warmly:

"Old man, how can I sell this millet?"

The old woman stared blankly at Li Shan's face, then glanced at the crowd behind him, raised her face, stretched out five fingers tremblingly, and said nothing for a long time.

Li Shan asked in surprise:

"Five hundred coins and one stone?"

The old woman suddenly trembled with fright, waved her hand quickly and said:

"I don't have that much, just this, a bucket or more, a total of fifty coins. This is the best rice, sir."
