Even Xiaoyu and Xiaoshan, not to ntion Bai Sasa, looked at him with hopeful eyes.
Facing the eager gazes of the children, Yuwen Qi felt a bit reluctant but still said as promised, "I promise to co back often in the future, how about that?"
Yuwen Qi saying this basically ant he was still going to leave.
The children showed expressions of disappointnt.
Just as Yuwen Qi was racking his brain to find sothing to comfort them, Bai Junjun’s voice ca in: "Don’t make things hard for the fool, he still has important matters to attend to outside. You can make plans when he’s done."
When the children saw their eldest sister co in, they quickly forgot their previous disappointnt and ran to her side with glee.
Li Wenli chuckled and said, "It’s rare for your fool brother to co for a visit, let’s take him around for so fun."
"Sure!"
Children are forgetful; as soon as playing outside was ntioned, they all nodded happily.
Yuwen Qi naturally had no objections either.
And so, the sightseeing group set off once again.
By that ti, Yuwen Qi’s soldiers had long since toured the area, and although he was the leader, he was the last to go sightseeing.
However, it didn’t diminish the impact the area had.
The sheer size and luxury of the Immortal Mansion had already surprised Yuwen Qi, and the Sky Street Market next to it astonished him even more.
Yuwen Luanfei first took him to her territory, a place selling the Four Treasures of the Study, zithers, and cave flutes.
She pointed proudly at those zithers and said, "These are all made from millennium-old trees here, their sound quality is unparalleled."
Yuwen Qi took a serious look and saw that the styles of the zithers were nurous. He encompassed all the making styles of saints, scholars, and emperors, with these more than a dozen zithers featuring Zhongni, Fuxi, Shennong, Luoxia, Banana Leaf, Lianzhu, Xiangwang, among others.
Anyone with an understanding of zithers would probably find it hard to leave this zither shop.
Yuwen Luanfei looked at him alluringly: "How about it? Want to take one? I’ll give you a good price, brother."
"..." Bai Junjun.
"..." Li Wenli.
This guy...
Yuwen Qi looked embarrassed: "Though I want to help my brother, I am currently in material shortage and penniless..."
After all, he still had a war to fight, and military supplies were tight.
"..." Yuwen Luanfei was a bit disappointed, "You need to manage your finances better, save so money regularly."
"..." Yuwen Qi also looked helpless.
He’d been reduced to a fool in the Eastern Land after his family was confiscated. Even though his elder sister eventually found him, it didn’t change the fact that he had no money.
All his money ca from his sister, who also managed the military supplies and food. He truly was penniless.
Nevertheless, noticing Yuwen Luanfei’s desire to get rich off zithers, Yuwen Qi earnestly said, "Even though I can’t buy one now, after things settle, I’ll introduce so big clients to you."
Hearing Yuwen Qi’s promise, Yuwen Luanfei was sowhat surprised and nodded with emotion, randomly picking up a fan to hand to him.
"I don’t have much to give you, but this is my masterpiece, take it to play with."
Speaking of this fan, it was made of wood.
In their place, there wasn’t much of anything, but there was plenty of wood. Historically, folding fans were made with paper or thin silk textile, but with a shortage of these materials, Yuwen Luanfei shaved the wood extrely thin, engraved various patterns on it, folded it into a fan shape, bored holes, and inserted wooden strips to fix it, thus creating a fan with significant artistic beauty.
