Zhou Xian, Li Xin and Jinse walked east along the main city street. At noon, the crowd was a little sparse, but it was still not too small. Kaifeng City was prosperous, especially from Daxiangguo Temple to Zhouwang Mansion, various snack shops were placed along both sides of the street, with countless opera singers, lion dancers, and juggling, which was very lively.

The three of them were exhausted and found a snack shop. The hot mutton soup was brought up. Li Xin added a little vinegar to Zhou Xian's bowl and said, "It will taste good."

Zhou Xian smiled faintly and said to Li Xin: "Brother Li, you really don't care about what you eat. From restaurants to street snacks, you are all clear."

Li Xin smiled and said, "I never tire of food and fine stew. That is the pursuit of Confucius. We ordinary people, of course, come whatever they taste good. In fact, although my family is very close to the city of Fengcheng, we cannot come here often. Many places here were brought by Brother Zhao at first. He is a Kaifeng native and is very familiar with everything here."

Zhou Xian nodded and asked, "Brother Li, have you known Brother Zhao for a long time?"

Li Xin scooped a spoonful of mutton soup and said while drinking the soup: "Well, his family and my family are family friends, and they have known each other since childhood. His family has been very rich for generations. But later, after a lawsuit, it gradually declined. His father used the last money to open the bookstore, hoping that he would run the family business honestly. He could not say he could be rich, but at least he could have food and clothing. But he was lazy and didn't care much about anything. According to his father, he just couldn't stand the wall. Only when he was extremely interested in equipment manufacturing, he could make many things by reading them. Therefore, after he talked to you, he would show such excitement."

Zhou Xian nodded and thought to himself that Zhao Yu would definitely be the kind of design madman in modern society. But in the Ming Dynasty, this kind of talent was definitely not valued by most people. He felt a sudden shock in his heart, and suddenly remembered something and said to Li Xin: "Hey! I forgot just now, and I haven't paid Brother Zhao for printing and purchasing books!"

Li Xin waved his hand gently and said, "Never give him money when you see him next time. He is the kind of person, how can you say it! Once you treat a person as a friend, no matter how poor he is, he will not be stingy with money. If you give him money, he will not only not accept it, but will also feel that you are not sincere to him."

Zhou Xian frowned and said in a very embarrassing way: "What should I do? You can't ask for his things for nothing! I think he is not very rich."

Li Xin smiled faintly, grabbed his right hand and said, "Next time you see him again, just ask him to have a drink. This method has been tried and done before, and it will work." He looked at Jinse, and a smirk that was extremely disagreeable with his handsome face appeared on his face. He leaned against Zhou Xian's ear and whispered: "Or, you can also invite him to the brothel in the city. Apart from wine, the only thing that guy likes is color."

Li Xin spoke very quietly, but Jinse still heard it roughly. The latter's face suddenly turned red, and he buried his head in the bowl with embarrassment.

Zhou Xian's face also became obviously hot, he moved his body uneasy and said quickly: "Then I'll give him a drink!"

Li Xin saw Zhou Xian's face showing shame, and felt very interesting, and he clapped his legs and laughed: "Brother Zhou should indeed invite him to drink. After all, you are still young, so that one has to wait for a few more years."

Zhou Xian's face turned redder and he couldn't help but ask, "Could it be that Brother Li is good at this?"

Li Xin just started making Zhou Xian jokes so relaxed and casually, but he didn't expect that Zhou Xian asked this, and he turned red. He waved his hand and said, "Brother Zhou, this joke cannot be made casually. I am a family member. If you let your sister-in-law listen, you won't quarrel with me every day."

Jinse smiled beside him and said to Li Xin: "I didn't expect Mr. Li to be afraid of the inner person? Second Master, you must visit the sister-in-law of the Li family so that she can know what kind of person this Mr. Li is fed, especially that Zhao Yu."

Li Xin begged for mercy and said, "Oh! Miss Jinse, please forgive me!"

Zhou Xian smiled and said to Li Xin: "Brother Li, by the way, you ran out for several months. Does sister-in-law really care?"

Li Xin waved his hand and said, "Your sister-in-law is not such a stingy person. Moreover, such travel is not often. I suddenly remembered that in a few days, it will be her birthday. I would like to celebrate her well at that time, which will be a compensation for her. If Brother Zhou has time, he must go to my house as a guest."

Zhou Xian didn't want to go against Li Xin's kindness and nodded slightly.

After the three of them finished their meal, they continued to walk forward, preparing to go to Daxiangguo Temple to take a walk. Jinse suddenly pointed forward, and his tone was full of surprise and said, "Look, juggle."

Zhou Xianding looked around and saw a large circle of people not far ahead, and there were bursts of cheers from time to time. He didn't like that kind of scene, but when he looked at Jinse's excited expression, he turned his head toward Li Xin and said, "Brother Li, let's go and have a look?"

Li Xin nodded with a smile and followed Jinse forward.

It was a pretty big juggling group, with about thirty people, of different shapes and colors. Some were playing with monkeys, some were walking on stilts, and some were hard skilled with steel guns. In short, it was quite exciting. From time to time, people were pounding gongs and shouting to ask for money from those watching. Although each family was not rich, ordinary people were not stingy with three or five words.

With a sound of a gong, everyone who was playing juggling dispersed. Two strong men walked forward and erected a straight pole three meters high and two arms-thick and firmly fixed it down below.

Li Xin whispered: "This is a famous sky pole among the people, but it is the first time I have seen it as high as this one."

Zhou Xian nodded. The straight rod was narrow at the top and wide at the bottom, and the top was only the thickness of a fist. It was smooth and had no place to support it. Moreover, it was so high that the more you reached the top, the greater the shaking. For ordinary people, it was not easy to climb to one-third. Climbing to the top was far beyond Zhou Xian's imagination.

At this moment, a tall and slender girl walked out from the inner account behind. She was about sixteen or seventeen years old, with a fair face, graceful figure, and a pair of phoenix eyes that were particularly charming. Coupled with her two pairs of sword eyebrows, she raised her high, it added a bit of unique heroism while being soft and charming.
