Chapter 48 The Prosperous Imperial Capital
Then, with the expression of the shop owner gritting his teeth, he walked further and further away.
"Where are we going?"
Su Yi was pulled by Leonai and walked aimlessly across the street, and he couldn't help but ask.
The imperial capital at night is simply a large market similar to a temple fair.
A dazzling array of gadgets are displayed on both sides of the street, eye-catching. Although Su Yi is not very interested in these things, they unexpectedly attract the attention of young girls.
Leonai is no exception, although Su Yi has always thought that Leonai is the kind of guy whose personality is basically incompatible with girls of the same age.
To put it simply, he is the kind of guy who looks like a little loli but is actually an Obasan at heart.
But what surprised Su Yi was that Leonai actually had such a girly side.
Although Su Yi had nothing to buy, after all, Su Yi wanted to feel the joyful atmosphere of the city.
"Oh, by the way, how much money did you bring with you this time?"
Leonai suddenly stopped in front of a stall selling all kinds of glittering decorations, then turned around and asked Su Yi.
"money?"
Su Yi was stunned for a moment. Su Yi really didn't have any idea about money. Su Yi only knew that when he was in the North Kingdom, that guy Atta gave him a bag of gold coins as payment.
After meeting Tang Wood, he gave himself a bag of gold coins as a means of transportation, and then when escorting Felit, he gave himself a lot of gold coins as pocket money.
As for the money, Su Yi had hardly touched it. Except for spending some on food, the rest seemed to be still on Su Yi.
Looking at Leonai who looked expectant, Su Yi was too embarrassed to deny her wish, then took out a fist-sized canvas bag from his waist and handed it to Leonai's hand.
When he opened the canvas bag, it was full of gold coins. Leonai's eyes suddenly lit up.
"How many of these... do you plan to keep?"
"I don't plan to keep it anymore, just look at the flowers."
Su Yi shrugged and said nonchalantly, and Leonai suddenly felt as if he had been given a shot of chicken blood, and he instantly became energetic.
Su Yi clapped his tongue and suddenly felt that it was not appropriate for him to hand over such a money bag to this guy.
However, it turns out that this is indeed not appropriate...
Looking at the curious baby-like Leonai next to him, Su Yi sighed and shook his head.
What Su Yi heard most from her mouth was, this is good, let’s buy one, the boss has this, this and this, I want all of them...
Su Yi couldn't help but be fascinated when he looked at the red-faced girl illuminated by the fireworks. Time seemed to have returned to the bonfire in Huangling.
No, Su Yi seemed to suddenly see another person through Leonai's face, and could no longer find the heroic female rogue Leonai.
"I'll feed you this, it's so delicious!"
Before Su Yi could react, Leonai forced a stick of food into his mouth.
"Woo, woo..."
"Keke, what on earth are you going to say?"
Seeing Su Yi's funny look with a glutinous rice cake stuffed in his mouth and still talking, Leonai suddenly chuckled.
"I said, can you tell me next time? I'm not mentally prepared at all."
Su Yi finally swallowed the unknown object in his mouth. Not to mention that he couldn't taste it at all, the thing almost choked him to death.
"Pfft, I obviously said that."
The beauty is as beautiful as jade. Looking at the smiling girl Su Yi in front of her, she is always full of complaints, but she can only sigh and go with the wind.
While Leonai was eating various delicacies from street vendors, he vaguely explained some of the customs and customs of the imperial capital to Su Yi.
I have to say that it was a good idea for Najiexitan to let Leonai stay with her, because Leonai was really enthusiastic enough.
If that boring gourd from Lubbock was allowed to stay, it would be impossible for these two guys who couldn't beat a single fart with three sticks to swim in this huge imperial capital.
Because that scene is simply beyond your imagination...
Along the way, Su Yi saw many poorly dressed boys and girls playing in groups on the street.
These people don't seem to be royal and wealthy. Could it be that the consumption standards in the imperial capital are not high? Or are they just out for a stroll?
As if he saw Su Yi's doubts, Leonai explained casually: "These people are not here to play, but to make a living."
"Making a living? What do you mean?"
Su Yi asked doubtfully, but Leonai did not answer. Instead, he pointed at one of the girls and nuzzled at Su Yi.
I saw the girl who was dressed in a very poor manner staggering towards a passerby, and then she seemed to be saying something to the passerby. No, it was more like asking for something.
Su Yi soon figured out that he was begging. This kind of thing can be found in the downtown area, and there is nothing new about it.
So is this what Leonai meant by making a living?
Just when Su Yi was confused, he suddenly saw that the man in gorgeous aristocratic clothing did not give the little girl a cent, and even kicked the down-and-out girl in the abdomen.
Kick her directly to the ground
, Su Yi frowned, why do people from the Imperial City have no sympathy at all.
Just when Su Yi was about to step forward, he was suddenly grabbed by Leonai beside him.
Looking back, Leonai gave him a look that said don't worry, there's still a good time to be had.
Su Yi frowned, and then stood next to Leone again, casting his eyes on the poor girl with doubts, and saw that there were some subtle changes in the form there.
Just when the destitute girl was still pestering those people dressed as nobles to ask for something, several other young men who looked equally destitute came over from the other side.
While those nobles were still amusing themselves by bullying the common people, the down-and-out young men quietly walked up to those nobles, stayed there for only a while, and then left.
Before leaving, one of the down-and-out young men secretly winked at the girl who was bullied by the nobles. Not long after they left, the girl also ended her begging and disappeared into the hurried crowd.
It seems that what Leonai said is true. It is true that the people in the slums have their own way of survival.
Su Yi sighed. Of course he could see that the girl and the boys who appeared later were actually a tight group.
To be precise, the begging girl was a falcon, responsible for attracting the attention of the nobles, while the young men who came behind were actually responsible for making a living. ..
