I'm so tired of traveling all the time

Cai Ge's enthusiasm was a little too much for Wen Liang to bear. Wen Liang had just left Ella and was not in the mood to mess with other girls.

After bidding farewell to Cai Ge who was not very happy about it, Wen Liang set out for the capital alone.

As the capital of the Northern Song Dynasty, there are many rules. Ordinary people cannot pass through many places, and will be driven away if they get close. But apart from that, the streets and markets are very lively. The prosperity is not inferior to modern metropolises in terms of crowds, except for the lack of modern technology, and the atmosphere is even more lively!

Wine shops, tea houses, rice shops, oil mills, brothels, brokerage shops and docks, all walks of life are very bustling with people busying about.

Wen Liang strolled leisurely, visiting the ancient world of thousands of years ago, feeling the familiar culture and the environment that seemed familiar yet unfamiliar. While it was an eye-opener, he also felt confident in his heart.

There are still 2000 kilograms of gold in the space. It is said that money is a man’s courage. Wen Liang is very brave now!

They found a ready-made clothing shop, which seemed to be one of the larger shops nearby. Wen Liang walked in and an embroiderer came up to them and asked them questions.

"Sir, do you want to order custom-made clothes or buy cloth?"

"Are there any ready-made clothes?" Wen Liang asked.

"Yes, yes. What style do you want?" the embroiderer asked immediately. "Do you want to buy it for yourself or give it to someone else?"

"I'll wear it myself."

The embroiderer nodded, called the maid to bring a rope, and measured Wen Liang's height. After she had an idea, she told the maid to take out the clothes of those sizes.

The clothes I brought were all hung on the wooden racks, showing the overall style of the clothes! Except that the tall hangers took up a lot of space, it was so thoughtful.

Wen Liang didn't know much about styles, so he ordered whatever he thought looked good, from outerwear to linings, boots, etc. He ordered several sets to replace.

"Can I use this to pay?"

Wen Liang took out a piece of gold, which he got from an African warlord in the last century. One piece weighed one kilogram, which is two kilograms.

When the embroiderer saw Wen Liang casually take out such a large piece of gold, she almost dropped her jaw in shock. "Sir, you are joking. We are a small business and don't need gold. You can go to the bank to change it for silver. We really can't make change here~"

Wen Liang also suddenly realized that according to the conversion ratio at that time, one catty is equal to sixteen taels, so this piece of gold is equal to 32 taels, and converted into silver, it would be about 320 taels of silver!

How much does it cost to buy clothes?

A total of six sets of clothes and shoes only cost three taels of silver! This is because the fabric is luxurious and comfortable. If it were ordinary clothes, it would be even cheaper, and perhaps even less than one tael of silver would be used. After all, people usually use copper coins!

Under the guidance of the maid in the clothing shop, Wen Liang found a nearby money house and exchanged a piece of gold for silver, which was exactly 320 taels.

On the way back to the clothing store, Wen Liang also learned from the maid the approximate purchasing power of silver. If compared with RMB, different items cannot be directly converted. After all, the value of items in ancient and modern times is different, and the value of some items is even reversed.

Taking grain as an example, one tael of silver can buy more than 6 shi of rice. According to the measurement standards of the Song Dynasty, one shi is approximately equal to 66 kilograms, so one tael of silver can buy about more than 400 kilograms of rice.

If we look at other daily necessities, one tael of silver can buy dozens of pieces of cloth or other daily consumer goods.

After all, food is the most important thing for people. If calculated based on grain, one tael of silver is roughly equivalent to 1000 RMB today, no more, no less.

He hired a carriage on the way, went to a clothing store, paid for the clothes, bought some silk and cloth, and put all the things in the carriage.

After Wen Liang came in, he waved his hand and put the clothes into the space.

Then she sent a carriage to the downtown area and bought some rouge, powder, snacks and gifts, as well as the cloth, as a thank-you gift to the An family.

The carriage entered Changlefang, where vendors gathered and roadside shops were open for business. It was difficult for the carriage to enter here.

Wen Liang asked the carriage to wait here, hired some coolies waiting under the archway, and carried some silk and cloth behind him. Wen Liang then went into Changlefang first to stroll around.

Surrounded by hawking, Wen Liang seemed to be back in the market days of his childhood. All kinds of shouting filled his ears, as well as jugglers and the brandishing of swords and sticks. After walking a little further, he saw many wine shops and tea houses, including places that specialized in selling wine and drinking tea, and there were also quite a few inns and restaurants.

Wen Liang bought a lot of things and asked the people behind him to carry them. Soon they arrived at an intersection. The street here was wider and a restaurant was located in this most convenient place.

"Zuiyue Tower?" Wen Liang muttered, and the familiar feeling came to his mind again. This was not a good sign, so Wen Liang turned and left.

Unfortunately, when I turned around after asking, I suddenly found several people walking behind me, and they were all celebrities!

Wen Liang was dressed strangely and was standing in front of Zuiyue Tower, which attracted the attention of several people.

Looking at the people opposite him who had also stopped and seemed to be blocking his way, Wen Liang's thoughts turned slightly in his mind, and he smiled generously at them, then stepped aside from them without exchanging a word.

The man opposite with his beard combed into a small braid seemed to be the leader, and he also smiled and nodded at Wen Liang in response.

After leaving, Wen Liang still felt someone was watching him from behind, and he felt helpless.

Those people are so familiar, Anthony Wong, Liu Yifei, Zou Zhaolong, and a few little followers, or their names here are: Zhuge Zhengwo, Wuqing, and Tieshou!

"The Four Famous Detectives!" Wen Liang has already confirmed this world in his mind.

It seems that the plot hasn't started yet. Leng Xue and Zhui Ming are not together, which means they haven't entered the Shen Hou Mansion yet. The plot should be before the first part starts.

"Forget it. Since I'm not going to get involved in the plot, I'll just stop thinking about it... I'd better stay away from these people."

Wen Liang didn't think any more about it. He left Changlefang with the laborers who were moving things behind him, got on the waiting carriage, and headed for An's home.

On the other side, after Wen Liang left, everyone's attention was retracted.

"What a strange young man~" Zhuge Zhengwo said with a smile, "I don't think he's dressed like the Central Plains. He gives me a very mysterious feeling."

"He should be an expert," Tie Shou said, holding Wuqing's wheelchair and looking in the direction where Wen Liang left. "I feel danger from him. Few people can give me this feeling."

"He is indeed very mysterious, I can't see through him!" Wuqing said with his eyes closed. Soon he opened his eyes, and a little bird flew over and landed on Wuqing's gloved hand.

Wuqing stroked the bird, feeling the scene it saw, "Xiaofei saw him leave Changlefang and go to the residential area of the outer city in the south."

One of the henchmen beside him, Dalang, said, "I've never seen this guy before. Do you want to check him out?"

Hearing this, Zhuge Zheng sternly said, "Why investigate him? He didn't commit any crime. Let's go, Jiao Niang left some delicious food for us. Let's go eat first!"
