Chapter 467 - 465
Yan Zhongren had gone to handle affairs, so the two of them didn’t feel it would be good to leave either; they simply ordered tea and pastries and sat in an elegant private room on the second floor, sipping tea and waiting.
It had already been several months since Wang Yongzhu last came to Jing County town.
Last time, his mood was oppressive and angry, and he had no interest in looking around the town.
Today, he was waiting to get his hands on a shop and a house after a while, so naturally, Wang Yongzhu was in a cheerful mood.
While eating pastries, he looked around.
The inn they were staying at was located on the busiest street in Jing County, with the inn at the back and a restaurant at the front.
In front of them was the liveliest place in Jing County; shops of various kinds flanked the inn, cries of hawkers rose from everywhere, attracting scholars and young ladies alike who stopped to look around.
It was now autumn, and fruits and vegetables were plentiful. Since the year had seen good weather, everyone’s days were also going well.
Peasants from the outskirts of the county town pushed wheelbarrows and carried baskets full of produce from their own fields, taking advantage of the good weather to come to town to sell their goods and earn some extra cash.

Wang Yongzhu took an interested look at the stalls selling goods below, thinking that if he had time later, he might also buy some seeds or something, which might come in handy in the future.
