I've heard that Ye County is a famous barter trading center. Although it's under the jurisdiction of Ji State, it has its own management system. In addition, the annual tax revenue is substantial, so the court can turn a blind eye to many things.
Therefore, Yejun can be described as a place where hidden talents and a mixed bag of people!
It was a prosperous commercial city, and you only needed to pay ten coins to enter.
Upon entering the city and seeing the endless stream of people, Mo Lan nodded; it was indeed quite lively here.
Looking at the throngs of people on the street, there were noble young masters and chivalrous figures dressed in martial arts attire.
As you walk, you'll hear the shouts of vendors and the sounds of bargaining everywhere.
Through the car window, Mo Lan also spotted some people from beyond the Great Wall carrying furs as they passed by.
"Miss, isn't it lively here?" Hua Bao pressed her head against the car window, looking around excitedly.
"Yes," it's bustling with all sorts of people from all over the world.
“Whenever Miss was in a bad mood, she liked to come here to relax, listen to some opera, buy some clothes, and then go home happily,” Hua Bao said, her eyes sparkling.
"Let's find an inn to stay in first, then we can go out and explore."
Mo Lan glanced down at the pinkish-purple gauze dress she was wearing, her eyes filled with disdain; she needed to change.
The carriage made its way through the streets to the entrance of the Green Mountain Inn.
In her memory, it was a place familiar to Mo Lan. The Qingshan Inn was not on the main street and the prices were moderate. Every time the original owner came to the city, she would stay for three or four days.
The reason is simple: Hua Yifei has friends here who can help out.
In addition, the original owner had limited funds.
After arranging the guest room, the waiter immediately said with a smile, "There's a barter market these days, right in the East Square of the city. There are lots of things and lots of people. If you're worried about the hassle, you can avoid it when you go out."
Barter fair?
The young man was kind-hearted; he was reminding himself that crowded places weren't suitable for women to go shopping.
“Okay,” Mo Lan nodded, and told Hua Bao to give Xiao Twenty or so copper coins as a thank you.
After a quick wash, Hua Bao excitedly approached, "Miss, do you want to go to that barter fair that the waiter mentioned?"
"You want to go?" the little girl tried to persuade her.
"Hehe~, I want to go see what's going on." Even though her thoughts had been exposed, Hua Bao was still eager to try.
"Let's go," it's not surprising that children are curious.
After leaving the inn, the group of master and servants walked through two streets to the most prosperous main street.
When she passed by the clothing store, Mo Lan went straight in. Looking at the colorful fabrics and clothes, she frowned. Just as she was about to leave, she found a black outfit on a clothes rack in the corner.
The fabric is nice, and paired with the bright red waist belt, Mo Lan fell in love with it at first sight.
Because the color wasn't appealing, the shopkeeper didn't charge a high price, selling it for three taels of silver.
Dressed in a black outfit, Mo Lan finally felt relieved.
People who live in the shadows do indeed prefer dark colors.
Hua Bao stared in astonishment at how the family had changed so drastically in the blink of an eye, her mouth agape. "Miss... why are you wearing black?"
This is too much... well, she couldn't quite explain it.
"What, doesn't it look good?" Mo Lan raised an eyebrow, looking at Hua Bao's shocked expression.
She thinks it's great!
"It's not that it's bad-looking, it just feels weird." Hua Bao tugged at her little braids, looking herself up and down.
