After confirming the plan to attend the Picking Spring Festival, the group returned to their initial topic.
"What is this Picking Spring Festival? Since it's hosted by the Eldest Princess and aimed at finding an Ideal Gentleman for her Commandery Princess, why invite these wealthy merchants? Isn't it said that merchants rank at the bottom?" Wufu asked curiously.
Wufu naturally understood the concept of social class. In this era, where imperial power was supreme, class differences were even more pronounced. The so-called Scholar, Farmer, Artisan, Merchant hierarchy placed merchants at the bottom, a rank greatly despised by the nobles and powerful people, especially those families who were extremely noble and prided themselves on their purity, viewing gold and silver as mere earthly possessions unworthy of association.
