After walking along the riverbank for a long time, Lin Wanwan, lost in thought, encountered an elderly white-haired fisherman quietly fishing under a large willow tree. Not far from the old man stood a middle-aged servant.
The old man looked over seventy, thin and small, unattractive in appearance, wearing a dark scarlet round-collared robe, the most common men's style in the Tang Dynasty, but the color was quite unusual.
In the vicinity of Chang'an city, under the emperor's presence, men of the Tang Dynasty were relatively well-behaved and would not wear clothes beyond their rank.
Dark scarlet was the color belonging to a fourth-rank official, which meant that this fisherman was a fourth-rank official!
However, at this time, fourth-rank officials should all be busy working in the Imperial City. For this one to be fishing, he was either idling his time or not being utilized much.
