Li Chu was also observing. He often came to this street. The things in the shops were relatively cheap, and the prices were mainly targeted at ordinary wealthy families. Therefore, there were few magnificent carriages passing by, and the clothes worn by pedestrians were also very ordinary. Xiao Cunyu's gossip with shining silver threads looked particularly dazzling.
All kinds of people passed by the two of them, but no one dared to stay. They just kept looking at them, and Li Chu felt embarrassed to be looked at.
Xiao Cunyu was very patient at this time and stayed there for the entire morning without moving.
The sun was already quite scorching at this time of year, but Xiao Cunyu seemed to feel nothing.
"Xiao Qi, aren't you hungry?" He couldn't sit still anymore.
Xiao Cunyu turned around and looked at him: "Did you see anything?"
"..." Li Chu was startled, and suddenly felt like he was being questioned by a teacher. "You...you want to ask me about the prices of the things these people buy?"
Xiao Cunyu looked at him like a fool. "Do you think that's possible? You've been at our academy for a few days now. You should know that we receive letters from all over the place every month, and the contents of these letters are also for students to study. There haven't been any major disasters around the capital right now, and seeing how calm and relaxed these people are, it's clear that prices are within a reasonable range. Why ask?"
Wanjun Academy once had many students from all over the world.
Even though those students now have their own livelihoods or serve as officials in various places, this is the academy where they have stayed for a long time. They have feelings for Wanjun and will send letters to the academy from time to time.
What is the word "background"? It's not just history, but also the connections spread across the country.
Now that the academy has students, these connections will also convey to the academy the changes in local customs and habits, as well as prices and people's livelihood.
The teachers in the academy would screen and extract important information and then convey it to the students. Occasionally, when talking about current affairs, they would use this as an example to discuss it.
"Then...what do you want to ask?" Li Chu was quite nervous.
He didn't know why he was nervous, but he felt that Xiao Cunyu's eyes were more frightening than the Master's.
Especially when he asked serious questions, his tone was quite elder-like, which made people feel scared.
"Ask you what you saw?" Xiao Cunyu said as a matter of course.
Li Chu was even more overwhelmed. He touched his head and hesitated. "I saw... people? There were quite a lot. The weather is nice today, and everyone wants to go out for a stroll. The merchants are also very happy, their faces lit up with joy."
Xiao Cunyu didn't say anything.
Li Chu quickly added, "The people on this street are quite kind. I've been here before and know that the shop owners all know each other and are very friendly. They believe in making money through harmony. I just saw the owner of the bun shop over there even give two buns to a beggar."
"How many beggars did you see?" Xiao Cunyu asked.
"Ah?" Li Chu was stunned for a moment. "Quite, quite a lot?"
"Yes, there are quite a few. There are also many beggars on ordinary streets, but not as many as this one, because the people in charge of security on this street..." Xiao Cunyu pointed at the patrol officer who was patrolling with a few people not far away. "Those people seemed to have grown up on this street. When they passed by, they chatted and laughed with several shop owners without any hesitation, calling them uncles and aunts, and even knew the surrounding mobile vendors. It's obvious that they have been patrolling this street for quite a while. If the patrol officers on other streets saw too many beggars, they would definitely drive them aside, but they didn't. Not only that, a few beggars bowed to them and chatted with them for a long time."
