The sun has completely set, leaving only a red cloud of burning fire in the west.

The ancient streets, colorful yellow leaves, rows of shops and inns, young men in bright clothes and angry horses, galloping carriages, squeaking sedans, hawkers carrying loads and carts, running children, laughing girls, young men shaking fans, lanterns gradually lit up in the shops on both sides, and shouting and selling.

In this late autumn evening, the entire ancient city suddenly became vivid in this evening, just like a dreamy costume movie scene, making Zhao Qi reluctant to miss any corner while he was lingering.

This is the first time Zhao Qi has truly experienced the urban nightlife of the Song Dynasty after traveling through time.

The bustling streets are crowded with people coming and going, laughter and noise come one after another, orchestras and singing and dancing are endless, and there are guests in the restaurants with bright lights and wine, and there are endless singing and dancing in the brothels. The most lively thing is the brothels and tiles. The performances of various theatrical sumo wrestlings make cheers one after another, and the ubiquitous sound of selling and buying cause noise.

"It's so lively!"

Walking on the street, Zhao Qi felt that his eyes were not enough.

Xiao Wu basically didn't speak, and followed Zhao Qi closely while eating a piece of corn candy, as if he was afraid that Zhao Qi would get lost.

The three little maids each held various delicious snacks in their hands and didn't bother to speak.

Wu Yuechan was very happy and kept introducing some famous local restaurants and inns and some specialty shops to Zhao Qi. When they were interested, Zhao Qi would take a group of people in to watch. When they came out, they might have one or two more things in their hands.

When shopping, women of any era like it.

When buying things, women of any era also like it.

There are two most lively streets in Yin County.

One is Qingyuan Street, which leads to Qingyuan Prefecture, where the north gate mainly gathers various shops, clothing, tea, silk, porcelain, calligraphy and painting, and antiques. It is the most complete place to shop and buy things. It is lively during the day and even more lively at night.

The other street is from east to west along the Yongjiang River. The main gatherings are brothels, inns and restaurants, and the dense river boats docked on the docks by the riverside, forming an entertainment street with guests. There are no less than a hundred large brothels and restaurants gathered here, and they are also making noises and singing and dancing day and night.

Following Qingyuan Street, a few people were talking and laughing and moving slowly among the crowds.

Whether it is delicious or not, Zhao Qi has to take it to taste it. Whether it is fun or not, he has to come and play. No matter whether it is good or not, he has to squeeze in and take a look.

This shopping seems not unusual for Xiao Wu. When she was a beggar in the past, she seemed to wander around the night in the bright lights and wine, begging or holding her hands. Therefore, she seemed to ignore everything in front of her. Except for eating and having some interest, the others all had the same expression. She even expressed her discomfort in the face of Zhao Qi, Wu Yuechan and three little maids, eating, drinking, having fun and excited.

Zhao Qi thought that this place was far away from Yanggong Town and no one would recognize him, but he was obviously wrong. Now that he is famous in Qingyuan Mansion, a huge fundraising and an unprecedented charity sale, the nearly month-long journey has made hundreds of thousands of people in Yin County know him.

Therefore, when he appears on the bustling street, he will be recognized instantly, as eye-catching as the fireflies in the night. Then there will be a burst of cheers and cheers, and there will be endless voices calling Zhao Dalang, Zhao Gongzi or Zhao brothers.

When pedestrians on the road saw that they would watch and cheer, pointing and making jokes, making Wu Yuechan so embarrassed that she dared not look up.

When the vendor saw Zhao Qi, he always stuffed the melons and fruits sold into Zhao Qi's hands.

When a businessman who opened a store saw Zhao Qi, he would chat enthusiastically and even give him one or two small gifts. If he met someone he was familiar with, it would be amazing. He would not let him go and go to the kiln. It seemed that this would not be enough to express his enthusiasm. Therefore, after several lessons, Zhao Qi saw the name of the business he had seen on the roster of the guests of the charity sale, he would unconsciously take a detour, for fear of being recognized.

From sunset to nearly Xu hour, many shops and restaurants on the street began to close. Zhao Qi then felt relieved and said to Wu Yuechan a little sorry: "I really didn't expect that the fellow villagers in Yin County were so enthusiastic, and today I also implicated Miss Qing'er and didn't have fun!"

"No, it's because Qing'er has implicated the young master and didn't meet with his friends. Moreover, Qing'er had a very happy day. She grew up so old that no one has ever accompanied me shopping like this..."

"There are brothers Zhao Dalang and Zhao ahead!" Just as a group of people slowly walked back, someone suddenly shouted behind them.

Zhao Qi quickly covered his face with his sleeve, and took Wu Yuechan's hand and whispered, "Go away quickly, I'm afraid you'll meet an acquaintance again?"

"Hey, Brother Zhao, I have recognized you, don't run!" The person who called out did not give up, took a few steps and chased after him and reached out to stop him in front.

Zhao Qi could not helplessly let go of Wu Yuchan's hand, looked at a well-dressed middle-aged man in front of him and bowed with a wry smile: "It turns out it's Mr. Xue, I'll be lucky to be lucky!"

"Haha, it's really my little brother. When did you come to the county town? Why are you still strolling on the street so late?" Xue Changan stepped forward and grabbed Zhao Qi's arm and laughed happily.

Zhao Qi rolled his eyes slightly and said, "Mr. Xue asked knowingly, "I am naturally shopping with Miss Yuechan when I am so late!"

"Ah? Hahahaha, so that's it. Xue is abrupt, a talented man and a beautiful woman. She is traveling together at night. It's a great beauty in life. In this way, Xue won't disturb Brother Zhao's enjoyment. You must go to my Baoyu Tower tomorrow to talk. Xue still has something to discuss with Brother Zhao!" Xue Changan was stunned for a moment and understood, and laughed and apologized.

"It just so happens that I am going to visit Mr. Xue tomorrow, and I also want to buy a few calligraphy and paintings!" Zhao Qi bowed.

"I'm talking about whether to buy it or not. Just choose the calligraphy and painting brothers there, just choose it, just take it away!" Xue Changan said generously.

"Mr. Xue said this and I will go tomorrow. I will not give up if I don't choose five, six, seven or eight mates. Don't feel sorry for you then!" Zhao Qi nodded seriously.

"Haha, okay, then tomorrow Xue will be waiting for the arrival of the little brother in Baoyu Tower. I won't disturb you and Miss Yuechan's moon is coming down, so I'll say goodbye!" Xue Changan smiled and bowed into the car.

"Mr. Xue walked slowly!"

Zhao Qi bowed and watched Xue Changan's luxurious four-wheeled carriage squeaking away. Then he withdrew his eyes and looked at Wu Yuchan with a wry smile on his face, saying, "It's a misunderstanding again, I'm really sorry!"

"It's okay. There are so many people on the street, so people will naturally think more when walking together!" Wu Yuechan's cheeks were red as if she was about to drip blood, and she lowered her head at a loss.

"Let's go, everyone on the street is about to disperse..."

Wu Yuechan followed behind like a young wife, slowly adjusting her emotions and whispered: "Young Master is so familiar with Mr. Xue?"

"Haha, I was not familiar with it at first, but after the last charity sale, I became more familiar with it!" Zhao Qi explained with a smile.

"Where is the ancestor of Xue Yuanwai a famous calligrapher? He also wrote very well and has a very famous name in Qingyuan Mansion. If he didn't do business, he might have a better reputation!" Wu Yuechan said softly.

A great calligrapher named Xue?

Zhao Qi thought about it for a long time and thought of someone alone.

"Could it be that his ancestor was Xue Shaopeng?"

"So the young master knew!" Wu Yuechan was even more surprised.

"It's not that I know, it's you who reminded me that there are so many calligraphers in the Song Dynasty, but there are not many people with the surname Xue. Xue Shaopeng and Mi Fu are as famous as Mi Fu. I still hear it a little. Since that's the case, I will visit Baoyulou tomorrow to buy a few calligraphy and paintings..."

"Does the young master give away the calligraphy and paintings to others?"

"That's not. I moved to a new house. Except for a few furniture, the house is empty. I want to buy a few, frame it and hang it to fill it up, so that others will not say that I am a wealthy person who is not good at writing!"

"Hehe~" Wu Yuechan covered her mouth and smiled with her eyebrows curled, "Young master is a talented man, you know what others don't know, and you can't. Who dares to say that your master is not knowledgeable about literature!"

"Hehe, I really don't know how to write, I can't draw, I can't play piano and chess, I can't play piano and chess, I'm all messing with piano, chess, calligraphy and painting... Hey, it seems that there seems to be delicious food in front, so we'll buy some late-night snacks back..."

"Okay, okay, we still want to eat!" The three little maids cheered happily.

"You just know how much you eat. Mr. Zhao has spent a lot of money today!"

"It's okay, I want to eat too, I can't spend much money. I haven't spent a total of twenty coins so far. Go quickly, go quickly, I'm afraid it's closed if it's too late..."

A group of people walked away from the street with laughter and laughter.

The streets in late autumn gradually became sparse, and only the brothels and inns were still brightly lit. In the slightly cold night wind, the sound of orchestral singing and dancing came from the endless Yongjiang River.
