Lou and others took Weiruo's happy and relaxed expression into their eyes, and as a result, they no longer had any suspicions about Weiruo. Originally, the people of this world were not suspicious, if it wasn't for Weiruo's appearance at an inopportune time and place, they probably wouldn't have had even half a doubt.

  The woman who was speaking stretched out her head from the carriage and said softly: "Little one, come to me."

  Wei Luo steadied herself and happily replied, "Yes." After responding, she looked at the woman with shining eyes and gratefully added, "Thank you for valuing me, miss."

  The girl smiled gently.

  The convoy never stopped and in this brief conversation, the troops had passed fifty meters beyond Wei Luo's position.

  Wei Luo quickly walked a few steps and arrived in front of the woman's carriage. On the red carriage shaft, a burning torch was inserted, making a crackling sound. In the light of the torch, a beautiful woman with delicate eyebrows, long eyes, cherry lips, and a small mole at the corner of her mouth appeared clearly before Wei Luo's eyes. Judging from her age, she looked around 18 years old. She had a strong feminine charm on her body. When she turned to look at Wei Luo, there was an unintentional hint of seduction in her gaze.

  When Weiruo was sizing her up, the woman was also sizing Weiruo up. As she looked at him, a hint of disappointment flashed across the woman's eyes.

  Her expression also cooled down slightly due to disappointment.

  With a slightly puzzled look in Wei Luo's eyes, she waved her hand and said lightly: "Wait on the side first, after the donkey cart passes by, you can follow up."

  The woman said, and didn't even look at Wei Luo again, then retreated back into the carriage. As she pulled down the curtains, Wei Luo faintly heard a muttering voice, "Skin is coarse and dark, even if he can read, it's not to my liking, what a pity for those good eyes."

  It turned out that she was dissatisfied with her own ordinary appearance.

  Wei Luo smiled and thought in puzzlement: The rules here are really strange. Does one have to be born well even as a servant?

  She couldn't understand this reasoning, so she shook her head and retreated to the side of the official road, patiently waiting for the convoy to leave.

  Red carriages came one after another, and after about thirty or so had passed by, a string of ox-carts appeared. These ox-carts also stretched for half a li.

  No matter whether it was a horse-drawn carriage or an ox-drawn carriage, there were swordsmen riding horses or oxen on both sides. Wei Luo curiously looked over and found that the swordsmen riding horses one by one were all proud and seemed to have high status.

  After a half-li long ox cart team passed by, it was followed by a donkey cart team and swordsmen riding on donkeys.

  The donkey cart was a bit like the flatbed carts Wei Luo had seen before, without a top cover or four walls, only a bottom plate. Under the bottom plate were several wooden wheels that made a "creaking" sound when pulled by two or three donkeys. In the donkey cart sat a group of women, some wearing hemp clothes, others with ordinary faces, and still others who were older in age.

  Most of the women were young girls, who giggled and played with each other. When they saw Wei Luo standing by the side of the road, they curiously looked over at her, occasionally throwing her a few disdainful glances.

  These women were replaced by a group of girls with delicate features, all dressed in luxurious silk clothes. Some had expressionless faces, some had subtle sadness, and occasionally, sobbing sounds could be heard. Each girl had her own beauty, making Wei Luo's eyes wide with wonder. She counted them, and there were about fifty or sixty such girls.

  After the girls passed by, there were some people walking on their feet. These people were all wearing tattered hemp clothes, with gloomy faces, wooden eyes, and some even wore chains on their bodies.

  It's hard to believe these people are slaves?

  Wei Luo saw they were the last batch of the motorcade and hastily caught up with them.

  Among the group of people, Wei Luo's heart was racing as she looked around and couldn't help but take a step forward. She leaned in close to a pale-faced young man with no beard and asked in a low voice, "Excuse me, big brother, why are those few people wearing chains?"

  The young man walked with his head down, following the group in deep and shallow steps. After hearing Wei Luo's question, he raised a pale and proper face and said weakly: "Wearing chains is to prevent them from running away."

  Wei Luo's heart beats faster.

  She looked at the young man nervously and said in a low voice, "Little brother is a lone traveler, because he admires the luxury of the caravan team and asks to join. Big brother, little brother won't become a slave too, will he?"

  The young man glanced at her and said slowly, "Master Mei is not a noble, how can he casually turn good people into slaves? You and I are fellow travelers, probably because of your ordinary appearance."

  Her fiercely pounding heart finally calmed down, and she let out a big sigh of relief. She thought to herself: Indeed, before understanding this world clearly, it's best not to act rashly. I was just afraid of walking at night, if because of this small reason I got myself killed, that would be too pitiful.

  She must have been curious in her heart, and then asked the young man curiously: "Brother, if a husband is born with an ordinary appearance, how can you all take him so seriously?"

  As soon as Wei Luo said this, several men around her, including the young man, looked at her with surprise and inquiry on their faces.

  The young man glanced at Wei Luo twice and saw that she was a bit uncomfortable, so he slowly said: "The Song and Dance Troupe, of course, values appearance first and skill second."

  Kabuki team?

  Wei Luo blinked and stuttered: "Kabuki troupe?"

  The young man glanced at her impatiently, "Well, this is a famous team of eyebrow masters in the world. Since you don't know, how can you suddenly join? Now that you've joined, you should be content with your days and not ask too many questions."

  He said that here, shook his head, a look of not wanting to talk to Weiruo anymore, turned his head and continued to lower it, no longer speaking.

  Wei Luo saw his appearance and dryly laughed several times.

  She looked around and found that several people were sizing her up, so she dryly laughed a few times and said: "It's true that the night is dark and the road is long, and it's easy for beasts to appear. I was afraid and rashly asked to enter." Her explanation was dry and the crowd was very tired, they didn't have the energy to care about whether her explanation made sense or not, one by one they withdrew their gaze and continued walking forward with heavy steps.

  He paused, then leaned in close to a young man of twenty-four or five years old who looked very approachable and asked: "Excuse me, brother, I dare ask, if one is born into a good family, can they ride on the donkey cart and eat rice in this group?"

  She couldn't help but swallow hard twice when she mentioned the two words "rice".

  The round-faced young man was more active than the one just now, he rushed to Wei Luo with a friendly smile, revealing a mouthful of yellow teeth and chuckled: "Well. Regardless of male or female, as long as they are born well, they can ride a donkey cart, if they are virgins, they can also wear silk."

  Wei Luo listened, her heart skipped a beat, and she felt a bit suffocated in her chest. She forced out a smile and asked in a low voice: "Then what? Riding a donkey cart, wearing silk brocade, what's the point?"

  The young man with a round face shook his head and sighed, "Children are really ignorant." He said naturally, "Riding a donkey cart, wearing silk and satin, it's naturally reserved for serving the nobles in the future." After a pause, he added, "If you look extremely good and don't want to serve only one noble, you can also become a performer in opera."

  The round-faced young man was obviously very talkative, and seeing Wei Luo's eyes widen in surprise, he chuckled and asked: "I've heard that you people from Yue are extremely beautiful, regardless of whether you're male or female, and are particularly favored by the nobles. You're a child from Yue, don't you know?"
