The streets of Chang 'an were bustling with activity. Xu Chen was strolling aimlessly with the 500 taels of silver he had earned from selling grain in his hand.
There was too much grain harvested this autumn. After paying taxes, every household had saved up a lot of money and had a lot of surplus. The quality of the hybrid rice was good. When they brought it to the city to sell, the rice merchants 'eyes were naturally fixed on it.
In order to receive this batch of grain, the three rice merchants in Chang 'an City fought desperately to raise the price. In the end, Xu Chen shared the profits equally and each family sold a portion before the matter was settled.
This was only the first batch. There were only 40,000 catties of grain, which was about 16 mu of land. There were still a few more batches to come!
The villagers who came with the goods were reluctant to spend money. After unloading the goods, they went back to the village to eat, leaving Xu Chen with 500 taels of silver to go around Chang 'an.
He still had to think of a way to exchange this money for wool! However, there were many mutton shops in Chang 'an, but there was no place to buy wool.
"Come on, Young Master. Come inside and play ~"
"Yo, Young Master Zheng, you haven't been here for quite some time. Come, come, come. Please come in. We'll serve you good wine and good food ~"
"Hey, this little brother looks very unfamiliar. It's okay, it's okay. The first time, we're familiar with each other. The third time…"
He turned and turned, and he actually turned to the side of the brothel! This brothel, called the Bright Moon Hotel, was also a beautiful scenery in Chang 'an. People came and went in an endless stream.
The entire Bright Moon Hotel occupied a large area. It was divided into a front hall, a backyard, left and right wing rooms, and there were exquisite small buildings in the middle, which were reserved for the dignitaries to have fun.
Judging from the situation, this should be the largest brothel in Chang 'an.
The procuress who had shouted just now was pulling Xu Chen's clothes inside!
In their line of work, their eyes were extremely sharp. The experienced brothel madame could even guess your family background and financial resources from your clothes and temperament.
For someone like Xu Chen, although he was dressed in plain clothes, his handsome face and extraordinary temperament made it obvious that he was not an ordinary person.
After all, he was Li Shiming's son, so he was born with an aristocratic temperament. Moreover, as a modern person, Xu Chen looked at the brothel with a bit of criticism. His expression was naturally open. He was not a country bumpkin who had not seen the world.
"Forget it. I'm bored today anyway. I'll go in and criticize and see the dregs of this feudal culture!”
Xu Chen had an idea and let the brothel madame pull him into the shop. The people in this brothel were the most well-informed. Perhaps they could even get some useful information.
"Little brother, please come in. Here's the roster. Please enjoy the fruits, pastries, wine, and dishes without any worries. Our shop doesn't charge you for wine. There are pictures of the girls in the roster. You can order whichever you like. Don't be shy ~"
The brothel madame secretly sized up Xu Chen. She couldn't help but nod in her heart and greet him more warmly.
A person could pretend to be anything, but he definitely could not pretend to be someone with temperament and experience. After entering this brothel, most people would have already been dizzy and their scalps would go numb. Some even drooled and lost their appearance.
However, when Xu Chen came in, he only glanced around and then withdrew his gaze. He did not stop at those gorgeously dressed women for a moment.
At first glance, he was a young master who had been through hundreds of battles and often visited brothels, so much so that he was already familiar with them!
"Mm, you can go down. I'll walk around by myself. I'll tell you if I need anything.”
Xu Chen waved his hand and said indifferently.
Of course, if he knew what this brothel madame was thinking, he would probably kick her down!
What do you mean by familiar? I'm an innocent virgin, okay?!
As they walked, they saw that the entire Bright Moon Restaurant was indeed filled with singing and dancing. Those who could come in and play were either the young masters of rich families or the second generation of officials. Each person had at least two brothel girls accompanying them.
Most of them knew each other and were in groups of three to five. They played boxing and drank happily!
As Xu Chen walked out of the front hall, the surrounding environment suddenly became quiet. Along the way, there were fake mountains and flowing water. The scenery was pleasant. Further ahead, there was a large pavilion. There were three to five young men drinking and talking inside. Strangely, there were no women accompanying them.
"Bao Lin, don't worry too much. Uncle Yuchi has heard it on the battlefield for so many years. He'll definitely be fine."
"That's right, Bao Lin. Doctor Sun has already said that Uncle Yuchi's illness is just the accumulation of toxins. He just needs to bleed for a few days.”
"Come, let's drink. Don't think about these unhappy things!”
This group of people seemed to be consoling a young master in the middle. That young master had a bitter expression on his face. Under the persuasion of the others, he took a sip of wine and revealed a forced smile.
"Bao Lin? Uncle Yuchi?"
Hearing their words, Xu Chen pondered for a moment. His heart skipped a beat, and he said in a low voice,
" Could he be Yuchi Baolin?!"
Yuchi Baolin was Yuchi Gong's eldest son and one of the top second-generation young masters in Chang 'an!
Then, the people who were with him shouldn't have bad family backgrounds, right?
"Who is it?"
In the pavilion, a person suddenly turned his head and shouted when he saw Xu Chen standing not far away.
His shout caused the others to turn their gazes over.
Everyone looked at Xu Chen. As they looked at him, a trace of suspicion appeared in their eyes that were originally filled with hostility and vigilance.
"Why does this kid look so similar to His Majesty?!”
One of them muttered softly. His idea immediately received the unanimous approval of everyone.
This time, they did not dare to underestimate him anymore. The leader shouted,
"I'm Cheng Chumo. Today is Yuchi Baolin's banquet.”
As expected! This person was the son of Duke Lu, Cheng Chumo. He was on the same level as Yuchi Baolin.
"So it's Chumo and Baolin. Who are the others?”
Xu Chen understood. He was happy to be able to see these people here. He walked to the pavilion and sat down without hesitation.
His tone was like that of an elder in the family!
Of course, in terms of status, as the eldest son of Li Shimin and Empress Zhangsun, and the eldest son of the Li Tang Dynasty, he naturally had the right to ask this question!
However, Cheng Chumo and the others looked at each other in bewilderment…
Who was this? Where did he come from?
