I let you have children and you lead seven sinful girls to rebel?

Excessive kindness is essentially cruel!

Giving money to beggars as Yang Ying just thought was actually a very irrational method. The best option would be to change the money into porridge and distribute it to them in batches.

"Well, maybe Sister Ruolan, you're right. When my father was still alive, he used to give out porridge at the doorstep. However, the beggars in the capital didn't think much of the porridge my father gave. Many even looked down on it, thinking my father was stingy."

Yang Ying'er recalled some things in the past and couldn't help but sigh softly.

Her father Yang Xun had done many good things when he was alive, but not every good thing was rewarded.

"The capital is relatively wealthy, with many rich people there. Some kindhearted people give money to beggars when they see them. Over time, these beggars have become picky and only care about money, not food."

Chen Xuan slowly began to explain.

To put it simply, the beggars in the capital have been spoiled, and they complain that the food is rotten when they beg for food.

After finding out the address of a blacksmith shop, they continued walking deeper into the city.

Gradually, they saw someone pushing a cart and checking near the beggars.

The cart was piled with the bodies of some beggars, some of which were even smelly and had flies crawling on them.

The people pushing the carts specifically stared at the beggars lying motionless on the ground. Some of the beggars were so hungry that they had no strength to move at all. Some were terminally ill but still had a breath left. Some were really dead and their bodies were stiff.

The cart pusher lifted the bodies one by one onto the cart and dragged them away.

As long as those who are still breathing are not dead, these people pushing the carts will not care about them. They will wait until the next day to check on them. If they are still not dead, they will still not care about them. If they are dead, they will be directly carried on the cart and dragged away to the wilderness. There is not even a mat. They are just dumped on the ground. This is a mass grave. They won't even dig a grave for them.

This reminded Chen Xuan of yesterday at the Chen Mansion. No matter how much Chen Kun targeted Chen Xuan, at least he managed to look good on the surface. He ate delicious food and drank fine wine.

"While the rich wine and meat smell, the road with frozen bone."

Chen Xuan shook his head slowly and couldn't help but sigh.

For many poems, it is difficult to appreciate their artistic conception unless you are there in person.

Only when you experience it yourself will you understand its meaning.

"My husband, can you write poetry?"

Xu Ruolan looked at Chen Xuan with some surprise.

"I know a little bit." Chen Xuan said casually.

"Liu Yiyi, Li Xuanxuan, and the other girls from Jiangnan really like talented men. My husband, you can write a few beautiful poems for them to cheer them up. Maybe once they're happy, they'll be willing to bear children for you."

Xu Ruolan chuckled.

Chen Xuan felt embarrassed. This woman couldn't stop talking about giving birth to children.

However, what she said was not unreasonable. Perhaps he could compose poems to please Liu Yiyi and the others.

It just so happens that their favorability levels are just a few points away from reaching thirty.

Once you break through thirty points, you will be able to get system rewards again!

If you are lucky enough to get a critical hit, take off directly!

Soon, they finally arrived at the blacksmith shop.

Several strong men were hammering away at the iron.

Among them, there was an old man lying on a rattan chair in the blacksmith shop, smoking opium, looking relaxed and comfortable, with a boy next to him fanning him with a palm-leaf fan.

Chen Xuan knew at a glance that the old man was the owner of the blacksmith shop, so he walked straight over.

"Little old man, shoot a silver spear."

"I'm not free today. Young Master Liao of the Liao family has asked me to forge ten swords. Don't you see my apprentices are all busy? If you want to make a silver spear, come back in a few days!"

The old man didn't even raise his eyelids and just drove the person away.

Chen Xuan smiled immediately. He had specifically inquired about this blacksmith shop. Everyone said that the technology here was the best, so he came here in person.

And then you get turned away? They don't give you a call?

Chen Xuan placed ten taels of silver on the table. The silver made a thud, and Chen Xuan also said, "Are you sure?"

When the old man heard the heavy sound of silver hitting the table, he opened his eyes a little. After seeing the whole ingot of silver, the muscles on his face twitched.

Generally speaking, it only costs a few dozen copper coins to forge a weapon, but if you are generous, you may spend a few hundred copper coins.

One thousand copper coins strung together make up one string of copper coins, which is equal to one tael of silver.

In other words, even if you meet a generous person who gives you a few hundred copper coins to make a weapon, it is still not enough for one or two taels of silver.

Chen Xuan came up with a ten-liang ingot of silver, just like a nouveau riche, spending money as soon as he came up.

However, the old man looked very dignified. After taking his eyes off the silver, he said with a stern face:

"I've already said that I have to make weapons for Master Liao today. My disciples and grandchildren don't have time. If you want to shoot, come back tomorrow."

This is a bit of a relief. Just now he said he would come back in a few days, but now he says he would come back tomorrow. It seems that the money did have an effect, but the effect is not great, which means that the money is not enough.

Chen Xuan smiled and said, "This is just a deposit."

The old man's eyes, which had just been closed, opened instantly!

Chen Xuan looked at him and smiled slightly: "I heard that the old man's blacksmithing skills are first-class, so I came to visit him specially and asked him to make a silver spear for my sister."

"Forging a weapon for this little girl?" The old man glanced at Yang Ying'er and sneered, "Why don't you stay at home and prepare to get married instead of learning how to use a gun like a man?"

Upon hearing this, Yang Ying'er immediately became angry and said, "Old man, stop looking down on people! What's wrong with girls? Are girls inferior to men?"

"Hey, can't you tell a little girl that? You have a very hot temper. As an old man, I really won't shoot you with this gun." The old man snorted, showing a very unique personality.

Yang Ying'er immediately got angry and said, "If you don't want to fight, then don't fight. Who cares about you? Yours is not the only blacksmith shop in the whole Barbarian City."

But before she could speak, Chen Xuan raised his hand to signal her not to speak.

The next moment, the old man with his eyes closed heard another bang.

It was still the familiar heavy sound of silver coins hitting the table.

But this time the old man didn't open his eyes. After all, he had just said that he would not use weapons. If he opened his eyes at this time, wouldn't it be very embarrassing?

Seeing this, Chen Xuan was not in a hurry.

Generally speaking, capable people tend to have a more eccentric temper.

He slowly smiled and said, "It's still ten taels."

The old man didn't move.

Chen Xuan continued: "Gold."

"What did you say?!"

The old man's eyes widened instantly!
