Chapter 636 - 060 Yecheng’s Prosperity_2
After alighting from the carriage, Jin Lingling seemed to wriggle, shaking her hand as if to free it, but Li Chengzhi was not about to let go. He kept a firm grip, unmoving as ever. With a mix of resistance and compliance, Jin Lingling was pulled by him into the chess club.
The two of them tugged back and forth, oblivious to the stares of those around them, and did not notice that Lin Linyuan had seen everything. It wasn’t until they were out of sight that Lin Yuan gently lowered the curtain, her expression thoughtful.
In the large towns of the North, Yecheng was the only one second to the capital city. Its prosperity, were it not for seeing it with one’s own eyes, would be hard for Lin Yuan to imagine.
They hadn’t yet entered the city, but just by looking at the long line waiting to enter at the gate, one could gauge the town’s bustle. There were affluent people riding carriages into the city and country folk with their burdens heading to the market. Even these country folk were better dressed and more refined than the villagers of Lin family’s valley.
Xia Zheng had initially planned to use his own token to get Lin Yi and the others some convenience, but Lin Yuan did not want any special treatment, especially since the boss of Drunken Immortal Residence knew Xia Zheng. The guards at the gate might very well tip off Drunken Immortal Residence.
After lining up for about half an hour, Lin Yuan and her companions finally entered the city gates.
As soon as they entered, they heard various lively calls of vendors. The three sisters couldn’t help but lift the curtain to look out, greeted by bustling crowds and wide streets. Stalls were neatly arranged on both sides of the street, each one so close to the next without any gaps, filling up the entire street!
The pedestrians were diverse. Even though it was winter, and the weather was not warm, the sight of these enthusiastic sellers instantly ignited Lin Yuan’s passion. It’s no wonder everyone yearns for the big cities, this is the business opportunity they bring.
