After binding the loving mother system, I was so bad

Chapter 180 Envy, Jealousy, and Hatred

The three men of Yongchang Hou were walking on the street.

Because they smelled bad and had a rebellious look, passers-by would avoid them when they saw them from afar.

The disdainful looks of passers-by were like sharp swords, piercing deeply into Lu Xiaorou's heart.

When I was at the border, I was the envy of everyone.

No matter whether they are men or women, old or young, they all try to please me. How could they ever show such contempt?

The culprit of all this is the noble mistress Gu Nanxi who sits high in the Marquis's Mansion! She must be laughing secretly at this moment. Before they even face each other, she has already pushed herself and Hong Xiaoxiao down.

But she didn't know that the more forceful she was, the less likely she would win the favor of her husband!

When Marquis Yongchang was walking on the street, he felt that everyone's eyes were full of curiosity, shock, contempt and mockery, as if they were laughing at him.

For a while, Marquis Yongchang couldn't even walk, his whole body was as stiff as a puppet.

"My lord, please get in the carriage." Ada followed in a simple open carriage.

Lu Xiaorou looked back in surprise at first, then her eyes showed disappointment.

It's more like a cart than a horse-drawn carriage. It doesn't even have a carriage, just a small piece of wood.

It's still the same. ?

"Ada, why don't you go find a carriage with compartments?" Marquis Yongchang frowned.

If the horse in front was replaced by a donkey, wouldn't it be an essential tool for country people to enter the capital?

Ada was stunned by the question of why Marquis Yongchang didn't eat meat porridge.

No wonder this marquis was treated like a fool by his subordinates. He didn't even think about whether he had left any funds for his activities.

As for this carriage, I had to go to an old acquaintance and beg him to borrow it.

Of course, as a considerate servant, Ada would not speak out his true feelings. Instead, he smiled and said, "It is my fault for not thinking it through. It is just that it is a long way to walk from here to the Dashi Style Street. Even if the Marquis can bear it, the two ladies cannot."

With this reason, Marquis Yongchang went downstairs with the ladder: "Forget it. For the sake of them, we will just put up with it for a while."

The three of them sat on the wooden cart awkwardly. The wheels were made of wood, and there was no cushion on the wood, which hurt their buttocks.

Lu Xiaorou pursed her lips and thought about asking Ada something to distract her attention: "Ada, you came in a little later than us. What is the most popular thing about Kyoto?"

Ada waved the whip while swinging it, and said without hesitation: "The most popular one is the Dashi Style Street! At first, that place was just a shanty town, where beggars gathered, and no one wanted to go there."

Hong Xiaoxiao: "That's really strange, how come it suddenly became the best in Kyoto?"

Ada sighed, "When we returned to Kyoto, we brought two groups of foreigners with us. They were the Arabs in white robes. Their leader, Munir, rented half of the shantytown and spent a huge amount of money to build this den of money."

"They are so rich?!" Yongchang Hou and the other two were shocked.

This group of white-robed Arabs took the initiative to join when Marquis Yongchang led a large army to escort another group back to the capital.

Marquis Yongchang, Lu Xiaorou and others did not take this group of Arabs seriously at first.

They spoke in a gibberish that was hard to understand, and the camels they were riding had sticky fur and gave off a strange smell.

Especially Lu Xiaorou, she was particularly impressed by the man named Munir.

Soon after Munir and his men joined the team, they sent someone to find their maid to inquire about the news and presented her with an orange-green gem.

But when Lu Xiaorou met Munir's extremely exotic eyes, she felt frightened. She always felt that this man was being too attentive for no reason and was either a traitor or a thief.

Having heard that foreigners have no manners, could it be that he was attracted by my beauty?

At this moment, Lu Xiaorou couldn't help feeling regretful when she heard Ada praising the Arab-Israeli Style Street like that.

If I had established a good relationship with Munir that day, wouldn't I have someone to rely on in Kyoto?

No matter what the three of them thought, the slow-moving carriage finally arrived at the parking lot on Dashi Fengxing Street.

"My Lord, please get off the carriage. Carriages are not allowed to enter the Dashifengqing Street. This is the area they use to park carriages, and there are special people guarding it."

Ada was a qualified spy. He had found out everything about the surrounding situation a few days before coming to Kyoto.

Before Marquis Yongchang got off the carriage, he was attracted by the towering buildings in the distance.

The colorful glazed tiles actually covered the entire street. How extravagant is this? !

And on that distant street, there are people jostling each other, laughing and cursing, looking so relaxed!

The glazed tiles, pearl curtains, and the clear sparkling water on the canal complement each other, making it seem like a kingdom of light.

Yongchang Hou and others seemed to be bewitched and walked into this street involuntarily.

"Sir, would you like to buy a portion of Sugar Frosted Jade Bee for the two ladies? This comes from the palace."

Frosted Jade Bee is a candied fruit made from icing sugar and lotus seeds.

Peel open the green lotus pod and you can see the white lotus seeds inside, just like bee pupae in a beehive.

It not only tastes sweet and fragrant, but also helps to relieve internal heat and hangover.

Lu Xiaorou and Hong Xiaoxiao looked at Yongchang Hou expectantly.

Yongchang Hou: "How much?"

"One portion costs only one ounce of silver."

The price was not cheap, but not too expensive either. Marquis Yongchang wanted to pay for it, but found that all his money and belongings had been taken away when he was thrown into prison, leaving him penniless.

"It's just a jade bee, nothing special." Marquis Yongchang stubbornly tried to save his dignity and continued walking forward.

Not far away, there is an exquisite sedan chair made of gold. A group of wealthy people who look very rich are obsessed with this sedan chair.

"How much does it cost to rent this sedan chair for a day? Do you want to sell it?"

"First come, first served. My daughter is getting married in a few days, so I'll be here first!"

This Wangong sedan chair not only uses expensive materials, but is also very time-consuming, requiring tens of thousands of man-hours to make!

One working hour is a whole day, which means that a sedan chair takes decades to complete!

Who wouldn't want to ride in this sedan chair when getting married? It's so impressive!

Seeing that a group of people were about to fight over the sedan chair, Yongchang Hou and others hurriedly walked onto the stone slabs, crossed the canal, and walked into another commercial street.

This commercial street is much more down-to-earth, and has everything from daily necessities such as rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea.

The only thing that remains unchanged is the swarming crowds of people, which shows that the business of this shop is also very good.

Yongchang Hou sighed: "This street can be regarded as taking advantage of the Fengshi Dashi Style Street! These shop owners are making a lot of money!"

The people passing by chuckled, recognizing the Marquis of Yongchang, and deliberately said, "This entire shantytown belongs to the wife of the Marquis of Yongchang! She only spent ten thousand yuan to buy the entire area! Now the rent alone is more than ten thousand yuan a year! The commercial street on the south side of the canal is all under the name of the wife of the Marquis of Yongchang! She has made at least ten times more from this deal!"
