The streets of Yanjing City were much wider than those in Tongxiang, bustling with people and horses. Taverns were built tall and grand, and street performers and sugar-coated hawthorn vendors could be seen everywhere. For the people of Tongxiang visiting the capital for the first time, it was almost too much to take in. The elderly still managed to keep their composure despite the novelty, but the younger ones couldn't help but become dizzy with excitement, almost tripping over as they walked.
While the people of Tongxiang marveled at the sights, the Yanjing people were also curious about this conspicuous group from out of town. A group so obviously not local, appearing in Yanjing, was bound to attract attention. However, the attire of the accompanying members was quite ordinary, and even somewhat simple, so they were clearly not imperial kinsfolk and nobility on an outing.
