After a happy break that night, Xiao Chen was happy and drank two more drinks. He fell into a deep sleep until the fat man broke in and stretched his hand to his bed before he suddenly woke up.
"What are you touching? Your claws are cold!" he shouted angrily.
"Feel your pulse." The fat man said with a smile, "I saw that your vitality was severely damaged the night before yesterday, so I'm afraid you might get sick."
"Go away! My energy is strong." Xiao Chen yawned and put on his clothes, "Fat man, tell me the truth, are you still a virgin?"
"You want to say that I'm not a virgin. I'm not married yet. You want to say that I'm a virgin. I'm not willing to admit it. Alas..." The fat man sighed, "I'm just a virgin."
The two of them went out chatting and laughing, and Xiao Yu and several brothers from the Flying Wing Guards, Xuan Yi Guards, and Xiao Yu also followed them out.
It's not that I'm worried about the safety of the two of them, but I'm afraid that something might happen to Angelina. Although there are Rose's personal guards and the royal guards' overt and covert escorts, it's better to be cautious.
When we arrived at the Siyi Pavilion, the two beauties Angelina and Valova got up early and even put on their makeup. I have to say that these two beauties are really a beautiful scenery.
It was so eye-catching that Fatty Xiao Chen and the two of them immediately lost their sleepiness when they saw it.
All the yawns turned into words of praise. The two beauties flattered by your words and my words were so happy that their flowers trembled...
Just talking about their skills in picking up girls, the two brothers are really about the same, it's hard to tell them apart. After leaving the city gate, under the city wall outside is the so-called ghost market.
The formation of the ghost market has a long history, and it already existed in the Tang Dynasty, but it was in the Western Regions. Ancient books record that "there is a market in the West Sea, trade does not meet each other, and the value is straight, so it is named ghost market." '
The West Sea is the Western Region. It is said that there is a kind of market in the Western Region. There are only stalls with goods, but no sellers. Things are placed directly on the ground. If you like something, you can just put your money next to the stall and take the goods away. It is a bit like today's No one is selling anything.
Just because there is no one standing at the stall, it is called a ghost market.
Nowadays, the ghost market outside Fengyang City is different from the ones in the Western Region. There are still people selling goods, but there is little communication between buyers and sellers. If you don’t like something, don’t ask the price. If you like something, just pay for it. Just leave, but there is never any bargaining.
Naturally, you should not ask about the origin of things, because most of the things in the ghost market have unknown or incorrect origins, so asking about the origin is taboo!
Especially for valuable items, you cannot ask questions, otherwise you will offend the seller, cancel the transaction, and may even cause death!
I have to say that the ghost market is more or less ghostly.
It is said that this kind of market is definitely illegal, why has it not been cancelled? That's because there is a saying passed down by the old people in Fengyang City, which is, "The ghost market is here, Fengyang exists, the ghost market is gone, Fengyang is broken!"
The rumor has been going on for a long time, and its origin cannot be investigated, but it is widely circulated among the people. People are superstitious about it, so it is difficult for the official to ban it.
For example, when Langya County rebelled last year, the ghost market was open as usual, and the people did not panic. Even two years ago, there were rumors of a rebellion in Yanyun County, and when the naval fleet approached Haining Bay, the ghost market was still open. .
At that time, many people were frightened by the news and fled one after another. However, because of the existence of the ghost market, not all of them ran away...
That’s what the people say anyway. After Zhao Yu became Fengyang Mansion, he also wanted to cancel this illegal market, but later he still didn't dare.
He, Zhao Yu, dared to offend the emperor, the queen mother, the prince, and any official in the court, but he also did not dare to offend the common people.
The ghost market is a mixture of dragons and snakes, and there are people from all over the world, including barbarians from the Western Regions, Japanese rogues, businessmen from southern Xinjiang, and white Westerners...
Therefore, even though Angelina and Valova are both blond and white beauties, they are not very eye-catching when walking in the market. Some people look at them twice just because they are extremely beautiful.
"Why aren't they talking?" At this moment, Ross's Minister of the Interior, Valova, was more like a young girl who had never traveled far away. She hugged the fat man's arm tightly and felt novel about everything she saw.
"How can they talk when they are all ghosts?" the fat man said with a smile.
"Really?" Valova's snow-white face became even whiter. "Fat man is lying!" Nanji Lina didn't believe the fat man's lies. She was not as stupid as Valova.
Although it is dark, the stalls are all lit with lights. Under the lights, ghosts are everywhere... This is an adjective. In fact, ghosts have no shadows. I know this!
"This is the rule of the ghost market." Xiao Chen said, "You haven't seen that they all have their faces covered. They are afraid of being recognized. They don't speak because they are afraid of being heard."
"Then how do you ask for the price?" Angelina asked curiously.
"You can put your hands in your sleeves and use your fingers to bid and ask the price. This is called Qiankun in your sleeves. If you don't know how to do this, you can also use your fingers to draw numbers on the ground. If you don't know Chinese numerals, you can just draw Dao Dao'er. "Xiao Chen said.
"Ah?" Angelina expressed confusion, "Then if it's a hundred copper coins, do you have to draw a hundred roads?"
"Ten thousand means we will draw ten thousand lines." Xiao Chen said seriously, "I can't finish the drawing today. I will continue to draw it tomorrow..."
"Yeah, that would be too troublesome." Angelina was surprised.
"Don't listen to his nonsense! How can anyone offer such a price?" The fat man said, "For example, for a hundred copper coins, you just need to draw a cross and then a circle. The cross represents a hundred and the circle represents a copper coin. It’s just a circle. Use silver to draw a square, and gold to draw a mountain. It’s very simple... Valova, what are you holding in your hand?”
But the fat man caught a glimpse of Varova holding a stack of banknotes tightly in her other hand, but it didn't look like Yanyun banknotes...
"It's money." Valova hurriedly handed the banknotes in her hand to the fat man, "You hold it for me, I'm afraid someone will steal it."
"Isn't this a ghost coin?" The fat man took it and looked at it and was shocked.
"It's a ghost coin. Don't you have to spend money like this in the ghost market that can only be used by ghosts?" Valova said, "I went to the street to exchange for this yesterday. The boss said that this is for ghosts. ."
"Oh? That's what the boss said?" There were three black lines on the fat man's forehead. "Then how many silver coins did you use to exchange for these ghost coins?"
"What silver coin? It's a gold coin!" Valova said, "I got it in exchange for ten gold coins! He said it can buy a lot of things."
Ten Rus gold coins, which is almost fifteen taels of gold, just gave Valova a stack of paper money. The boss was so heartbroken, you can't fool the foreign devils like this!
"Hahaha!" Xiao Chen on the side couldn't help it anymore and laughed heartily.
"You fool!" Angelina couldn't help laughing.
"What's wrong?" Valova widened her beautiful and innocent eyes, wondering why the two of them were laughing.
"It's okay, there's no need for this. You can take me to that store later and we'll leave." The fat man couldn't bear to tell the truth, for fear that Valova would be embarrassed.
