The peace knot in his hand hadn't been put away yet, suddenly, people popped up one after another:

"Guest officer, take a look. Tao Ran Porcelain Store's new celadon, Lantern Festival special, [-]% off the whole site, don't miss this rare opportunity!"

"... baa baa wool shop special price, buy [-] get [-] free, gloves and hats are [-]% off!"

"Hello, let me know about the brush and ink of Wenqupu."

……

Half a street hadn't passed yet, and a bunch of leaflets were picked up in my hand.

Earl Ward listened to this discount and that half-price, while walking, flipping through the leaflets with pictures. When passing by those shops, he walked in unconsciously, and when he came out, he came out with a basket of things in his hand.

The basket was given by the boss for free because he bought a lot.

After walking a few steps, the cold wind blew, and he woke up, looking at the miscellaneous things in his hand and fell silent.

……

"Master?" The servant reminded in a low voice, wondering if he should take it or not.

Earl Howard came back to his senses: "No, I will mention it myself."

Since you are pretending to be a commoner, you have to pretend to be a little bit like it.

He boasted that he knew Chang'an Town like the back of his hand, and he realized that what he had heard before was far from enough when he came here himself.

Like the leaflets in his hand, like these various sales methods, the servants never reported to him, no, it should be said that he didn't inquire carefully.

Not just high street.

Earl Howard's eyes were gloomy. For more than half a month, what he saw and heard in Chang'an Town had made him lose his mind countless times. What he saw with his own eyes and heard with his own eyes was far more real than the dry news that came out. Shockingly real.

Kingdom of God.

He muttered silently in his heart.

Is this the Kingdom of God?

The lights are bright, the music is melodious, and everyone on the street is smiling, satisfied and happy.

He saw a man with crippled legs being pushed forward by his family in a wheelchair. The man smiled and looked at the two children around him, and pushed his wife to gently help him straighten his hat without any disgust. and resentment.

A woman with one arm missing hung a bamboo basket on her chest, filled with red and white flowers, and sold them enthusiastically.

A group of children ran past with the rolling headlights, and a child followed behind with a limp. After running a few steps in front, they stopped and waited for him to follow.

Hunchbacked, blind, stupid...

There are all kinds.

They walked on the street openly, wearing clean clothes, neat shoes and hats, and they were as decent as some little nobles.

Other people on the street see them no differently from normal people.

There is no nausea, no disgust, and no avoidance.

Even when they are inconvenient, they will reach out to help, full of kindness.

Earl Howard was shocked.

He walked two streets in silence, and sat down at a small food stall on the side of the street.

"Hi guest, what would you like to eat?"

A little girl in her early ten years came forward immediately.

According to what he had just observed, Earl Ward said, "Yuanxiao."

Little girl: "There are three kinds of stuffing with sesame, bean paste and peanut, which one do you want?"

Earl Ward glanced at the diners on the table next to him, and glanced at the servants who sat down with him from the corner of his eye: "Have a portion."

"Okay!" The little girl happily told the boss, and then came over with a small wooden bowl and put it on the table with a bright smile, "Hello, this is a free gift for the festival, I wish you a happy Lantern Festival."

Earl Hua De took a look and recognized the melon seeds that had just grown in the royal city. The price was not expensive, but because it was the food of the Kingdom of God, it was very popular. As soon as it was transported from Chang'an Town, it was divided up by the nobles in the royal city.

He is an earl, even if he has property that is not inferior to the duke's royal family, it is not his turn.

He didn't even bother to compete with those people, as long as he wanted to, he would naturally have a way to get it.

What he saw was more than a melon seed.

He has seen the things that have been handed down from Chang'an Town, and he has also seen some secret things.

It's just that I didn't expect that the things that were looted and envied by the nobles in the royal city can even be taken out of the roadside stalls here, and they are also given away for free.

Earl Howard snorted, thinking of the nobles in the royal city who regarded melon seeds as food for the upper class, sarcasm flashed in his eyes.

Those people should really see it.

And the group of people who huddled in the Grand View Garden probably thought that the food was specially prepared for them, but they didn't know that it was everywhere in this civilian street, and everyone could eat it as long as they paid for it.

Although it is not as exquisite as the one in the garden, there is no difference if you remove the dishes and decorations.

Even in a crystal bowl, tofu nao was just tofu nao, exactly like the one he had just seen at a roadside stall.

They eat the same food as the common people, if those old-fashioned nobles find out, they will probably be pissed to death.

Earl Howard couldn't help but raised his lips.

Thinking that most of the civilians in Chang'an Town were still slaves not long ago, the corners of their lips curved even further.

Eat the same food as slaves.

I really look forward to seeing the faces of those old-fashioned people when they know the truth.

The corner of Earl Howard's mouth curled into a nasty arc.

It is impossible for the envoys to not know, but they did so...

He couldn't help but narrow his eyes.

From the appearance of the envoys to the establishment of Chang'an Town, he paid close attention to the whole process, and he was very clear about the laws and regulations promulgated by the two envoys.

Of everything in Chang'an Town, what shocked him the most was not the exquisite and gorgeous buildings, nor the novel festivals and delicious food, but these unprecedented systems.

When he first knew that the envoys needed slaves, like everyone else, he thought they were simply in need of labor, but he didn't expect that the envoys would actually create a worker, who was almost no different from a freeman.

The news caused a great commotion in Wangcheng.

If the person who did this was not an envoy, I am afraid that the nobles and the temple will soon be regarded as a cult and wiped out.

A slave is a slave and can never be a commoner.

This is the iron law of thousands of years.

No one has ever tried to challenge this iron law, because once found, there is only death, even the royal family is no exception.

There was once a king who was obsessed with slave pets and tried to secretly change his slave pets to become the queen, and made the slaves born by slave pets as successors. Before it was officially implemented, the dukes who heard the news made a joint noise and made the whole country know , the king had to change his mind.

For as long as it is written, slaves can only be slaves.

However, the sudden arrival of the envoy lightly turned the slaves into the same existence as the free people, how could it not shock everyone.

At first, he guessed that the two envoys probably didn't know how much chaos they would cause, but when he came to Chang'an Town himself, he realized that it was not, they knew it very well.

This is very interesting.

Once the slaves knew that there was a place where they could become freemen and live as free as commoners, there would never be a loyal slave willing to suffer oppression again.

Especially those who were defeated and demoted from nobles to slaves, they wanted to come here more urgently than those slaves raised in captivity for generations.

In fact, when the nobles and the Holy See could no longer hold back the news, there were more and more escaped slaves in various territories.

Earl Howard was happy to see this, and even secretly contributed to it.

At that time, he felt that it might not be a bad thing to suddenly send an envoy from heaven. Before coming, he secretly speculated that maybe he might not be able to take advantage of this opportunity.

But after meeting the two envoys and gaining a better understanding of Chang'an Town, he overturned his previous thoughts.

Obviously, these two are not those stupid nobles who will not be easily controlled by others.

Earl Howard has always looked down on the nobles in the royal city. They are so shallow and ignorant that they are so stupid that they make him laugh, and they can be controlled by him with almost no effort.

However, these two angels were not.

He had a faint feeling that they were the same kind.

The envoy sent by the kind and good God is actually cunning and full of scheming.

The realization made him shudder with excitement.

How interesting.

I really want to know the thoughts of those archbishops. It is so interesting that the angels they believe take the lead in overthrowing the teachings they once preached.

Earl Howard grinned silently behind the mask.

Can he look forward to the day when the envoys will clash with the Holy See?

It would be an interesting scene if the envoy personally refuted the split between the Holy See and the Holy See, and was rejected by the envoy who personally recognized it.

He thought very maliciously.

But it is clear that this is impossible. The old things in the temple are absolutely impossible to let the Holy See fall to this point.

Neither will the Angel.

Along with the emergence of workers, there is also the theory of pathology.

As soon as the pathology was mentioned, it attracted all the attention, so that everyone had no time to care about the former.

No one wants to live a healthy life.

Even he was attracted and came here in person.

Thinking of what was said in the pamphlet, Earl Ward's eyes darkened.

"The Lantern Festival is here." The little girl brought up three bowls at once on a tray, explaining one by one, "This is sesame, this is bean paste, and this is peanut..."

Gently pushed the box of spoons and chopsticks on the table, and left with a smile: "Guests take it easy."

Earl Howard hesitated for a moment, then took off the mask on his face, and the scars on his face were clearly visible under the bright daylight.

"Here, here's an empty seat!"

Suddenly two people appeared and sat opposite them.

Earl Howard's eyes sank.

The servant's breath tightened, and his whole body tensed up.

"Hello, Happy Lantern Festival." Sitting down were a pair of teenagers and girls. They were taken aback when they saw him, then lifted the masks on their faces together and greeted him with a smile.

There was only curiosity and scrutiny of strangers in their eyes, and there was nothing unusual about them.

Earl Howard put down his mask: "Yes."

The young girl didn't care about his indifference, and immediately called the little girl to order happily.

The servant breathed a sigh of relief and wiped the sweat from his palms.

Earl Howard took out a spoon. He hadn't mastered chopsticks yet, and it was obvious that a spoon was the best for food like Yuanxiao.

There are not many yuanxiao in a bowl, he gently dialed it, there were eight in total, he tasted one first, the snow-white and round yuanxiao was soft and sweet after biting down, with the sweeter sesame in the middle, the tongue rolled and sucked, One fell down.

Unknowingly, after drinking a bowl of Lantern Festival and drinking the sweet soup, the warmth melted from the stomach to the whole body.

After tasting one of the remaining two kinds, he pushed it to the servant, and the conversation between the boy and girl on the other side attracted his attention.

"...I want to go to art college, I want to learn to act and become an actor in theater." The girl was full of longing, then depressed, "But my father wants me to go to grammar school to study arithmetic."

The young man comforted her: "You can sign up for both. I heard that art colleges are difficult to pass. What if you fail the exam?"

The girl glared at him: "I will definitely pass the exam!"

The boy hurriedly said: "I hope you will go to the grammar school with me, so that we can go to and from school together, that would be great."

The girl hesitated.

art academy?Grammar school?

Earl Howard raised his eyebrows.
