The Daliang Kingdom was one of the largest countries in the Nine Prefectures.
As for Shao Liang City, it was the capital of the Country of Liang.
Every day, there was an endless stream of merchants coming and going to Shaoliang City. Not only were there local merchants from Daliang, but there were also many foreign merchants.
Apart from the merchants and commoners, there were also many scholars and martial artists who came and went in Shaoliang City.
These people could be seen in all the restaurants.
One day, after breakfast, an exquisite carriage left the Prince's mansion.
Liu Hao, Chun Lan, Xia Zhu, and Zhou Zhiruo were seated in the carriage.
There was only one big word on the signboard of the Prince's mansion. It was impossible to see anything from this word.
Zhou Zhiruo's complexion was a little better today. She had some strength in her body and wasn't as tired as the day before.
Her beautiful eyes also regained their luster and looked very beautiful.
Liu Hao looked at her as if he was admiring a beautiful flower without any impurities.
Zhou Zhiruo felt a little shy from Liu Hao's unconcealed gaze, but she couldn't get angry at all. She only lowered her head with a flushed face.?
The carriage made many turns, and its speed was not slow but it was very balanced. This showed that the coachman's skills were superb.
After passing through a small path, he suddenly heard a lively clamor.
Compared to the peace and quiet of the Emei Sect, the peace in the mansion was a completely different sight.
Zhou Zhiruo had lived for more than ten years, but she had only been to the small county town at the foot of the mountain a few times. Every time, she would go and purchase supplies and return quickly. She had never seen such a lively scene before.
The streets were crowded with people. There were all kinds of things sold everywhere. Some of them were new and interesting things that she had never seen before or even imagined.
She was only looking at this bustling world through the small window of the carriage. Compared to the world she was in before, it was really too different.
The impact here was too great, so great that Zhou Zhiruo couldn't accept it completely.
After all, she was only a sixteen-year-old girl who had just come of age. This was her first time seeing this world.
"Sister Zhiruo, how is it? Shao Liang City is lively, right?”Xia Zhu giggled.
Zhou Zhiruo nodded her little head." It's so lively. It's much livelier than the small county town at the foot of our mountain."”
"Of course. Shaoliang City is the capital after all. It's the most lively place in the entire Daliang Kingdom.”
"Only the Great Ming's Yingtian Prefecture, the Great Tang's Chang 'an, and a few other capitals can compare.”
Xia Zhu introduced her with a bright smile, like a little girl presenting a treasure.
Although Xia Zhu was older than Zhou Zhiruo by two years, they were similar in terms of mentality. They were both children.?
"Sister Xia, have you been there before?" Zhou Zhiruo asked.”
Xia Zhu was extremely proud." Last year, I followed Old Master and went to Chang 'an. You don't know how bold the clothes the people of the Great Tang wear.”
Bold? Zhou Zhiruo didn't understand how bold he was.
Xia Zhu could not wait to start gesturing. She placed one hand on Zhou Zhiruo's chest like a knife." The neckline of a Tang woman can be opened up to this point."。。”
At this point, Xia Zhu was a little embarrassed to say it.
"Ah?" Zhou Zhiruo covered her mouth in disbelief. She couldn't believe it. How could he be so bold?
Xia Zhu continued," You don't believe me? I didn't believe it either. Those stinky men got lucky.”
"Xia Zhu, shut up!" Chun Lan berated fiercely, giving Xia Zhu a fright.
Only then did Xia Zhu realize that she had said the wrong thing. She had called her master a stinky man.
Chun Lan was angry." You're too impudent. You're talking without restraint. Slap your mouth!”
As the eldest sister of the four of them, Chun Lan was still very dignified. If she really got angry, Xia Zhu would naturally be afraid.
Moreover, she was really wrong this time. Tears were already welling up in her eyes.
Zhou Zhiruo also realized that Xia Zhu had said the wrong thing, but she wanted to persuade her, but she didn't know how to say it.
Liu Hao chuckled and said," It's fine if you slap me. Little Bamboo, remember this. Don't knock down a boat of people with one pole in the future." This time, I'll punish you by starving. You're not allowed to eat later.”
Seeing that Liu Hao had spoken, Chun Lan didn't say anything else. In fact, she didn't want to punish Xia Zhu either. After all, the two of them had a deep sisterly relationship, and they usually doted on Xia Zhu.
However, as the eldest sister, there were some things that she had to say and some rules that she had to set.
Xia Zhu was not stupid. Her eyes were filled with tears as she hurriedly said to Liu Hao," Thank you, Old Master. Old Master is the best." Old Master was not a stinky man. Old Master was the best in the world.”
Chun Lan glared at Xia Zhu. This girl didn't learn her lesson and was still spouting nonsense.
Liu Hao was helpless." Chunlan, let's go back and give her a beating tonight. Let her remember this."”
Zhou Zhiruo couldn't help but laugh out loud. This pair of master and servant was really fun.
However, it could be seen that Liu Hao was also very easy to talk to and had a very good temper.
The carriage stopped in front of a magnificent restaurant.
The restaurant was called Guanxian Residence. It was about twenty meters tall and divided into six floors.
It could be said to be the tallest restaurant in the entire Shaoliang City.
If one sat on the sixth floor, they could overlook the entire Shaoliang City and take in the scenery.
Liu Hao brought his men into the restaurant. The restaurant manager was the first to welcome him with a respectful expression." Old Master, you're here." Which floor do you want to sit on today?"
"On the fourth floor, there are two more vegetarian dishes today. They are light and less oily.”Liu Hao walked up as he spoke, and the three women followed closely behind.
Although it was still early and not yet time for dinner, the restaurant was almost full.
Everyone gathered in groups of three to five, drinking tea and chatting.
The three women were too beautiful and attracted many people's attention.
"Sister Chunlan, does this restaurant belong to our benefactor?”Zhou Zhiruo had heard the shopkeeper address Liu Hao as 'Old Master', so she asked.
Chun Lan nodded." Yes, it's Old Master's."”
Although Zhou Zhiruo didn't really understand, she knew what it meant to have such a restaurant in Shaoliang City. Liu Hao's identity was probably not as simple as just being from a wealthy family.
The fourth floor was already filled with many people. There were screens that were half the height of a person between the seats. When they stood, they could see people, but when they sat down, they could not see them. The design was very ingenious.
After Liu Hao came up, he walked straight to a seat near the balcony. It was the best seat on the entire floor and also Liu Hao's exclusive seat.
From this position, he could see more than half of Shaoliang City and the pedestrians on the streets.
"Miss Zhou, do you know why I chose this floor?”Liu Hao asked with a smile.
Zhou Zhiruo shook her head, indicating that she didn't know. Was there a particular floor to sit on?
Liu Hao pointed to the other seats outside the screen." Listen carefully.”
Zhou Zhiruo immediately used her ears to listen carefully. She heard the voices of others talking. Their voices were a little loud, and they were talking about some Jianghu matters.
Only then did Zhou Zhiruo realize that the people sitting on this floor seemed to be martial artists. Everyone exuded the aura of martial artists.
Liu Hao knew that Zhou Zhiruo had already discovered it, so he didn't hide it." The second floor is for merchants, the third floor is for scholars, the fourth floor is for martial artists, and the fifth floor is for officials." Here, he could hear many things about Jianghu, and perhaps he could also hear some things about the Emei Sect.”
Zhou Zhiruo's ears immediately perked up when she heard about the Emei Sect.
However, Liu Hao smiled and said," There's no rush. It's just a possibility. Let's eat and listen to it as we relax.”
