Manbao looked on curiously and asked, "Lord Yang, didn't they say that civilians and merchants should be separated?"
Yang Heshu shook his head with a wry smile and sighed softly, "Can things in this world really be separated that cleanly? As long as Old Master Bai doesn't organize his own caravan for trade, then no one can change his status."
Yang Heshu looked at her with a smile and said, "For example, the shop you bought for your sister-in-law doesn't count as engaging in commerce, does it? Do you mean to include even those who occasionally come into town to make some pocket money when you talk about separating civilians from merchants?"
All three nodded in agreement, full of approval. Bai Shanbao looked at him and asked, "Then why does your expression still look so worried?"
Yang Heshu touched his own face and said, "Is it that obvious?"
The three of them nodded together.
