"Huh, I haven't been back to Beijing in a while. I didn't know when this Hundred Flowers Fair turned into a market, with all sorts of rotten fish and shrimp allowed in?"
"Mr. Xu, you don't know that in previous years, the Hundred Flowers Festival was always organized by daughters from official families, so the threshold was naturally high. I heard that this year, the girl from the Bai family took on this task, so I guess we can only make do with it."
Two men, one fat and one thin, came over waving paper fans.
The servant behind him was busy handing the post to the guard outside the door and accidentally blocked the way for the two of them. The thin man frowned and subconsciously kicked the servant, "Get away from me! You're blocking my way."

How much would you sell her to me? Oh, please don't look at me with that expression, or I'll feel bad... Hahahaha, tell me, little maid, are you willing to be my concubine? I promise you'll enjoy endless wealth and glory!"
Seeing Xu Yan start to tease the little maid, Chang Tai immediately followed suit, looked around, and grabbed Bai Zhi, "I think this maid is not bad, I think you should follow me."
