The next day was a day off, and a large group of young men and women went to the county town in a mighty procession.

The Chen brothers and sisters had never traveled far, and when they heard that Qingning was coming to the county town, they were eager to go with them to take a look.

Yu Jinan and his friends loved the hustle and bustle, so they naturally couldn't miss it once they heard about it.

Xue Shu and his sister simply sent a letter to their family, asking them to act as guides and take them out for fun so that their family members wouldn't have to wait for them.

The group of people were in their teens, at the time when they were most restless and loved to play. Although Guo Xinjun was leading them, Grandpa Yu was obviously worried and sent Yu Qi and Yu Shi to protect them.

You can imagine how many people there are. It has been very lively since we left the village.

"Sister Luo, what fun things are there in this county town? Are there many people? Is it lively? Is there a market? Are there any foreign products for sale?" Qing Ning excitedly asked a series of questions like pouring beans.

"The county town is not as fun as here. There are quite a lot of people, the market is lively, and there is also a night market. As for foreign things, they are only available in some large commercial shops. After all, this place is far away from Shangjing, so the things here are naturally rare and precious. However, if it were in Shangjing, it would be too common. Not only are there foreign things, but there are also foreigners." Xue Luo told them what she knew.

"Foreigners? I heard that these foreigners look different from us. Is that true?" Qingzhu couldn't help but ask curiously.

"It's really different. Some foreigners have golden hair, blue eyes, and are tall. They speak in a gibberish way, and I can't understand a word they say." Xue Luo described while recalling.

"Golden hair and blue eyes? Wouldn't that be scary?" Qingke didn't know what he was thinking and felt a little scared.

Guo Xian took over and said, "They're not scary. They're just a little different from us. They all have one nose and two eyes."

"Not only that, you know that the Gentiles are as black as charcoal. You can't even see them at night."

"Ah, are there really such people?"

"Yes, yes, my daughter didn't lie." Qi Qiao said, fearing that they would not believe her daughter.

Several girls were amazed by the foreigners Xue Luo mentioned. These were people they had never seen before. Qing Ning was not surprised by the foreigners, but she was very much looking forward to the capital city that Xue Luo and Guo Xian mentioned.

The carriage entered the county town in an hour and a half. When they reached the city gate, the noisy voices of people on the street rushed towards them.

Qing Ning and the others lifted the curtain and looked outside. Wow, it was so crowded and bustling. The shops along the street were full of everything. The vendors were shouting, attracting passers-by to stop and look.

"Is this the county town? It's so lively." Several people kept sighing, unable to take in the sight.

"Let's go to my house and park the carriage first, and then we'll walk to the street to watch the fun. If you like anything, just buy it. I'll take care of everything today." Xue Luo was very generous.

Qing Ning turned her head to look at her and asked, "Sister Luo, how much money do you have?"

Xue Luo was stunned, not understanding what Qing Ning meant by asking this, but she still said obediently: "I have five hundred taels here."

"Sister Luo is really generous. With so many of us here, won't you spend all your money?" Qing Ning joked.

Xue Luo said nonchalantly, "It's okay. At worst, I can just go back and ask my mother for some."

"Oh, Miss Luo is really generous. We won't be polite today." Guo Xian looked at her cute and naive look and joked with her.

"You're welcome. I'll cover all the expenses for today." Xue Luo raised her chin slightly, looking proud, and patted her chest generously.

This action made the girls in the car laugh so hard that they fell down.

"What are they talking about? I haven't seen them stop along the way." Yu Jinan was very curious and asked Guo Er next to him.

Guo Er spread his hands and said, "How should I know?"

"If you want to know, just ask. If there is good news, please tell us." Yu Xian'an's voice came from behind.

The others rode horses, except the Chen brothers and Meng Er, who took a separate carriage.

Yu Jinan agreed when he heard it, so he rode his horse forward to the same level as the carriage frame and knocked on the carriage wall with the whip in his hand.

Qingzhu heard the voice, turned around and lifted the curtain. Seeing that it was Yu Jinan, he smiled and said, "What's the matter, second brother of the Yu family?"

Yu Jinan said, "Hearing you guys laughing so happily, I wanted to ask you what good news you got. Tell me about it."

Before Qingzhu could speak, Xue Luo came over and said, "We were talking about foreigners. The Chen sisters were curious and just wanted to listen for fun."

"Next time I will take you to Beijing and see the foreigners with your own eyes." After hearing this, Yu Jinan looked at the Chen sisters in the car.

"Really? Can we go to Beijing to see the world?" It would be a lie to say that I wasn't excited, because that is the capital of a country.

Yu Jinan said seriously, "Of course it's true. How could I not have deceived you?"

"Don't worry, sister Chen. Even if Yu Er doesn't take you there, I will." Guo Er walked side by side with her and naturally took over the conversation.

Yu Er turned his head and rolled his eyes, thinking to himself: You are such a nice person, so talkative!

Guo Er glared back in dissatisfaction: How come you are the only one who can do that!

The people in the car couldn't help laughing when they saw the two's childish appearance. Yu Xian'an laughed and shook his head.

After a while, they arrived at the gate of Xue's mansion. Xue Jingtang and Zhou were waiting at the gate early. When they saw people coming, they quickly asked the servants to put the horses and carriages in place.

Seeing them coming over and greeting each other, he invited them to go into his house.

"Dad, Mom, we won't go in. I'm taking my brothers and sisters for a walk on the street. We'll have lunch there." Xue Luo was very excited now and just wanted to take them to see how lively the street was.

When Mrs. Zhou heard her daughter's words, she felt a little helpless: "How can you be so rude, child? We've already come to our doorstep, why don't you invite us in for a cup of tea?"

Xue Luo didn't think too much about it. She just thought that everyone knew each other. She also thought that they only had one day to go out for fun. It would be a pity if she didn't take them around to see the sights.

Guo Xinjun stepped forward, bowed, and said, "Mr. Ming, Madam Ming, you are so polite. Sister Xue was so enthusiastic that she didn't take care of everything. I apologize for bothering you."

Zhou smiled and said, "Guo Dalang, what are you talking about? We are very happy to have you here, so why would we bother you? Please rest for a while and have some tea. It won't be too late to go out to the street."

Everyone agreed and followed the two into the house.

After entering the main hall, Meng Er sat down casually. Xue Jingtang knew that he didn't intend to take the main seat, so he sat opposite him with Zhou.

"Do you want me to send more people when you go out for fun?" Most of the people in this group were children. Although there were a few young men following them, there were too many people on the street and he was afraid of anything going wrong.

"Thank you very much, sir. We already have quite a few of you, so we can borrow two or three more to help protect the girls." Meng Er did not refuse.
