After I traveled through the book, I fought back in the Hou Mansion

Yin Xiaowei was a little puzzled and said, "When we have time, we should find out more. Ye Tou just said that it was Dusi's sister who did it, but doesn't Dusi have a sister?"

Another person interrupted, "You don't know, do you? The governor's family has posted a notice, saying they're bringing their cousin back home, and they're going to hold a welcoming party in a few days!"

Yin Xiaowei shook his head, raised one hand and scratched the back of his head, with a look of confusion on his face, and said slowly: "I haven't been home recently, so I really don't know about this."

The man raised his chin slightly, his eyes gleaming with anticipation, and he gestured with his hands unconsciously as he said excitedly, "It doesn't matter if you don't know. It's not too late to know now. Think about it, the Dusi family is holding a welcoming banquet in a few days, and we have to go no matter what. Not for anything else, but mainly to build a good relationship with the Dusi's sister. When she sends snacks to the Dusi in the future, maybe she can give us some as well."

The same words and the same discussion were also happening at Chongshan Academy.

Several students sat together, and one of them frowned and said, "I heard that Ah Xing is holding a welcoming banquet in a few days. Do you know about this?"

The other man nodded quickly, his eyes flashing with excitement, and said, "I just heard about this. This is a good opportunity. We have tasted the taste of that snack before. If we build a good relationship with his sister, we may be able to taste it again in the future."

Another person folded his hands over his chest and nodded slightly, saying, "That's true. We must plan our performance at the welcoming banquet carefully and try to get his sister to make snacks for us." The other students nodded, their faces full of anticipation.

Luo Shuiyao had no idea that someone was actually planning how to build a good relationship with her just to ask her to make snacks for them.

Kyoto, Guihua Hutong, is the gathering place of ordinary civilians in Kyoto. Basically, the people living in the alley are ordinary people, and there are also some powerless ninth-rank officials.

At this time, at the entrance of the alley, a woman wearing a lilac embroidered bodice on the upper body, a bamboo green pleated skirt on the lower body, and a green veil on the head, which was long enough to reach her shoulders, making it impossible to see her face.

Such luxurious clothing was not common in this alley, so as soon as she walked in, everyone in the alley turned their heads.

They gathered in groups of three or four, whispering to each other, but did not approach to ask questions, fearing they might offend someone they shouldn't offend. For them, any rich young man or daughter in Kyoto was too much for them to offend, and they would rather stay away from them than dare to approach them.

The woman seemed calm, but if you looked closely, you could see that her fingers were clenched around the bag in her hands and she was walking in a hurry.

Deep in the alley, there are more civilians. At the end of the alley, there is an open space where a group of half-grown boys are playing Cuju.

Emperor Yuanzhen was a wise emperor, and the Zhou Dynasty was peaceful and prosperous. As long as the common people in the capital were not too lazy, their lives were not too bad.

When the children saw a beautifully dressed girl approaching, they all stopped and looked at her. "What does this person do?" the shorter child asked his companion.

"I don't know! I've never seen her either." The child being asked shook his head blankly. It was useless to ask him, as he didn't know who this person was!

Seeing that the children were looking at her with some fear and curiosity, the woman said, "Don't be afraid, little ones." She smiled and gently comforted them.

The children looked at each other, their eyes still alert, and no one came forward to talk to her.

The woman didn't care. She took out a bag of sugar cakes from her sleeve and said to them, "I just want to ask you for a favor. There's nothing else to it. This bag of sugar cakes is just a small thank you gift. When you succeed, I'll give you some money."

The children exchanged glances, but hesitated to step forward. Their gazes were fixed on the candy cake in her hand, and they all licked their lips simultaneously. You know, in that era, candy was a rare commodity. For ordinary people like them, it was truly a luxury. Most people wouldn't be willing to give it to their children.

The woman paid no attention to the children's hesitation. She lowered her voice slightly and very gently placed the candy wrapper on the ground. Then she slowly backed away, one step at a time, and after several steps, her voice rose again, gentle as water. "Look, I'm quite far away now. Come and get it for yourselves."

At this time, the shorter guy's Adam's apple rolled up and down, and he was swallowing his saliva constantly. After all, he couldn't resist the temptation of the cake. He took a step forward carefully, staring at the woman vigilantly as he walked.

Noticing the woman wasn't approaching, he grew bolder, took a few steps forward, scooped up the entire bag of candy, and then sprinted back to the group of children. "It's really candy, smell it, it's so sweet," he said to the people around him, opening the candy wrapper and sniffing it.

The child next to her glanced at the woman again, and seeing that she still didn't come closer, she reached out and took a piece and put it in her mouth, "Mm, delicious, very sweet."

The other kids saw this and wanted to get some for themselves. "Hey!" the little boy said fiercely, "Okay, stand still. I'll give it to everyone, one piece each."

The children were clearly obedient, no longer reaching for the candy, waiting for it to be distributed. They passed out candy, one to each of them, and by the time they'd each received two, they were all gone. Some held onto the candy, while others, quick enough, had already devoured it all.

Soon, the children finished their cakes. The short boy smacked his lips and asked, "Sister, what do you want us to do?" He savored the sweetness of the cake, wiped the sugar residue off his hands, and turned to look at the woman who had been standing there quietly watching them.

Seeing that they were willing to talk to her, the woman raised the corners of her mouth slightly, but it was hidden under her veil and no one could see.

The woman took a few steps towards them, her lotus steps light and graceful. Seeing that the children had let down their guard, she waved and said, "Come here, I'll tell you."

All the children looked at the shorter boy. He frowned like a grown-up, thought for a moment, and then gritted his teeth and said, "You guys wait here. I'll go." Then, as if he were a hero, he mustered up the courage to walk towards the woman.

The woman stopped moving forward and stood waiting for him. Seeing him approach, she rummaged through her bag and pulled out a handful of copper coins. After a closer look, she saw at least dozens of them.

The little boy suppressed the excitement in his heart and asked calmly, "Go ahead, I'm coming."

The woman looked around and then lowered her voice, "I can give each of you a handful of copper coins, but from today on, you must go to every street and alley to spread a message."

The little boy's eyes widened. "You won't let us do anything that's against the law, will you? Let me tell you first, we don't do things like that."
