After Yan Bao greeted her, he tactfully took his three little followers to play by himself, not wanting to be their third wheel.
The lanterns in recent years have become more beautiful, mainly because they have been replaced with electric lights. Not only are they brighter, but the streets have also become a lot more fun. Most shops are open, and there are food and drinks available.
At present, apart from Beijing, only Taining Island has electricity. Many people come here to visit and can’t believe that they are in the same place as Beijing.
Before, only the royal family, other ministers and the rich could use it. But last year, not only them, but even the poor people in the slums in the west of the city had access to electricity in every household.
They can only use it if the imperial court pays for it.
Compared with oil lamps and candles, electric lights are much easier to use. On the day when electricity was supplied to the west of the city, there was an uproar, and many people knelt down and kowtowed towards the direction of the imperial palace to thank the emperor for his great kindness.

For Tao Yuanyuan's sake, Yan Bao immediately asked the boatman to dock.
Xie Zhiluo followed Yan Bao's gaze and was quite dissatisfied with this uninvited guest who disturbed his date with Yan Bao.
Shen Sitian also recognized who was being teased: "It's Second Aunt, those people are hooligans, Aunt, should we help?"
"When you see injustice, draw your sword and help." Yan Bao gave the order, and Shen Sitian rushed over first, kicking the man away with a flying kick: "Damn, what kind of stinky hooligan is so shameless as to molest a decent woman? He's looking for death!"
The stinky hooligan who was kicked to pieces: "......"
