"The bride is here, the bride is here." The morning passed quickly, and as the children's screams came from the alley, the people waiting to eat in the courtyard all stood up when they heard the sound. , gathered at the entrance of the courtyard, intending to see what the bride looked like.
Liu Guangqi was no exception and followed people to the gate. As soon as he reached the gate, Xu Damao, who was wearing a Chinese tunic suit, led Lou Xiao'e, who was wearing a red hijab and a red outfit, and walked in.
He looked like a victorious general, waving to the people and neighbors around him.
When passing by Shazhu, he proudly raised his chin at Shazhu. Shazhu was so angry that he almost picked up a spoon and hit him.
"Okay, don't get angry with him. For the sake of his marriage, give him face and let him go once. If you can't help it, whether it's justified or not, it's all your fault. How can you be at the wedding? "The hitter" Liu Guangqi saw this and quickly stepped forward to hold Shazhu down to prevent this guy from getting angry.
"Just this time, if he dares to show off in front of me in the future, let's see how I deal with him." Silly Zhu said bitterly while looking at the proud Xu Damao.
"Okay, let's cook quickly. The banquet will start soon." Liu Guangqi patted the silly pillar and returned to Xu Damao.
"Worship heaven and earth,"
"Two bows to the high hall"
"Three Bows to the High Hall" Under the auspices of Liu Haizhong, Yi Zhonghai, and Yan Bugui, a wedding ended perfectly.
Not to mention that although these three people each have their own shortcomings, they are absolutely perfect in handling red and white events, and they do a good job in all aspects.
Soon it was time for the wedding banquet, and Lou Xiao'e also took off her hijab and walked out of the house.
Seeing Liu Guangqi standing next to Xu Damao, he snorted coldly, with a hint of resentment in his eyes. Seeing this, Liu Guangqi was so embarrassed that he blew his nose, pretended not to see anything, and continued to help Xu Damao ward off the wine.
"Did you offend Xu Damao's wife?" Because the auspicious time for the wedding was in the afternoon, it was already 7pm by the time the banquet ended.
Because something happened two days ago, Liu Guangqi, who was afraid of embarrassment, did not choose to go to the wedding ceremony, but returned to his home.
As soon as he sat down on the recliner and before he had time to take a breath, Qin Huairu came over and started to ask questions.
"No. Why did I provoke her?" Liu Guangqi exclaimed with a look of injustice.
"You still said no. People look at you like an enemy. If that look were like a knife, I would probably chop you into mincemeat." At this time, Bai Mei also joined in.
"No, it's just that I saved her once before. This little girl..." Looking at the two people who didn't trust him at all, Liu Guangqi covered his forehead and told them what happened.
"Really or not, you don't even eat the meat delivered to your door." After hearing Liu Guangqi's story, Bai Mei and Qin Huairu looked at Liu Guangqi in disbelief.
"As I say, although I am a bit romantic, I still have a bottom line. I don't want anyone who is not a beautiful woman. Please believe me, her appearance is not in my aesthetic taste."
"Okay, don't tell me so much. You will be in trouble this time. I think that Lou Xiao'e seems to hate you because of her love. She may cause some obstacles for you in the future."
"No way, she is not that kind of person." Liu Guangqi recalled Lou Xiao'e's character in the TV series and felt that Lou Xiao'e should not be such a person.
"Why not? It's how it's done in TV dramas. You'd better be careful, women can be much more cruel than men." Bai Mei reached out and tapped Liu Guangqi's head.
Facts have proved that what Bai Mei said was correct. Lou Xiao'e did hate Liu Guangqi because of her love. She started targeting Liu Guangqi from the day after they got married. This also caused the relationship between Liu Guangqi and Xu Damao to decline rapidly.
However, Lou Xiao'e's reaction was not as scary as Bai Mei said, at least it did not rise to the point of harming people.
This actually made Liu Guangqi breathe a sigh of relief. If you don't have good face, you won't have good face. Anyway, he doesn't live in that courtyard.
After staying in Dongcheng Ghost Market for a while, Liu Guangqi did not get as rich a harvest as Beicheng. It may be that there are too many people selling food in Dongcheng Ghost Market. Rich people like Dongcheng are not short of food. Although there is a shortage of meat, they are not short of food. It cannot be eaten like food.
As for other things, Liu Guangqi didn't have much in stock, so he could only enter Baoshan and return empty-handed. Since Dongcheng couldn't harvest wool, Liu Guangqi simply set his sights on Xicheng. Although Xicheng was not richer than Dongcheng, its people had a strong foundation. Picking up a brick and throwing it casually could kill several descendants of Prince Baylor. He couldn't tell which one. There are treasures hidden in the house.
Just as he said, Liu Guangqi first asked Lan Yigui about the location of the Xicheng Ghost Market, and went there that night.
The ghost market in Xicheng is different from the ghost market in Dongcheng and Beicheng. Dongcheng and Beicheng are both in small alleys extending in all directions, while the ghost market in Xicheng is in a dry river.
There are towering trees all around. This place is good or bad. The good thing is that it has a wide view. If someone comes, you can find it immediately. It is also very convenient when you escape. You don’t have to worry about being blocked in the alley. As long as you run away Fast enough.
The bad thing is that when you escape, your route is clearly visible to others.
"What are you doing?" The moon was on the branches, and the cold wind was blowing. Liu Guangqi followed the instructions given by Lan Yigui and came to the vicinity of the ghost market. Just as he was about to walk towards the river where the ghost market was located, something appeared from the grass on the roadside. A tall and handsome man.
"Come to exchange something."
"What are you holding? Let me see." The tall man walked up to Liu Guangqi and stretched out his hand to open Liu Guangqi's trousers.
"This is against the rules." Liu Guangqi patted the opponent's paw with one hand and took two steps back.
"Behave, I'll follow the rules when I get here."
"Younghe, you are very upright. Those who know you are a janitor, but those who don't know think you are a mountain king."
"Stop talking nonsense, let me see it or not. If you don't let me see it, get out of here."
"No. Just what you said, I have to come in now."
"Boy, you are so bold. Me"
"What's going on? Didn't I ask you to collect money? Why did you get into a quarrel with someone?" Hearing the movement, another figure jumped out from the haystacks on the roadside.
Compared with the sturdy man before, this figure is much smaller.
"From the sound of it, you are the boss of this ghost market. What are the rules here? You have to check the customers' goods."
"What's going on?" When the little man heard what Liu Guangqi said, he looked at his younger brother.
"Brother, he seems to have food in his bag. It looks like a lot. Let me see if it's true. If so, let's give it to him."
"Damn it, you think we are bandits, and you rob us at every turn. Have you not done enough?" When the little boss heard what his younger brother said, he jumped up and slapped him on the head.
Then he said to Liu Guangqi with an apologetic look.
"I'm sorry, guest. My little brother has a big appetite and is really hungry. To compensate you, I won't accept the money you paid for tonight. But can you sell us some food?"
"I won't sell my grain." Liu Guangqi said as he moved the robe on his shoulder.
"Damn it, are you so shameless?"
"If you keep nagging, my bullet will pierce your body." Liu Guangqi looked at the brainless burly man in front of him and took out a small pistol.
"Be calm and calm, and be friendly and make money. You won't be wielding swords or guns. It doesn't matter if you don't sell it." Seeing the force in Liu Guangqi's hand, the little boss took two steps back warily.
"Don't be afraid, I don't mean any harm. This is for self-defense." Liu Guangqi glanced sideways at the tall man and continued.
"Although my food is not sold, it can be exchanged. But it must be"
"You are that guy in Dongcheng and Beicheng who trades grain for antiques." Before Liu Guangqi could finish speaking, the little boss called out Liu Guangqi's identity.
"Am I so famous?" Liu Guangqi was stunned when he heard this.
"That's so famous. Who doesn't know you in the pigeon market now? I didn't expect you to come to my place. You should behave as usual. If so, then don't go in today, I will change with you."
"Swap with me." Liu Guangqi really didn't expect that he would be intercepted before he even entered the market.
"That's right, I'll trade with you, okay?"
"Okay, that's fine, but you can prepare something to exchange with me. I don't want the bad stuff."
"You kid, my eldest brother will trade with you to give you face. Don't be shameless." Hearing this, the burly man took a step forward and was about to grab Liu Guangqi's collar. Naturally, Liu Guangqi would not let him go and secretly He took out the electric baton and hit the big man on the elbow, causing the big man to kneel on the ground in pain.
"Who is shameless? It's me or you. I've tolerated you for a long time. If I had put you in another place, I would have killed you ten times or eight times. You are too young to play tricks in front of me. .”
"Comrade, if you want to exchange for food, you can go find me inside with your things. Don't play tricks on me here. I'm not scared. I won't be polite if I do it again." Liu Guangqi faced Biao Xing The big man slapped the back of his head hard, and then took his things to the river. At this time, the ghost market had opened. The low river was full of people coming to trade, and there were dots of kerosene lamps. At first glance, It looked like a will-o'-the-wisp. In order to announce his arrival, Liu Guangqi swaggered from one end of the ghost market to the other with food on his back. He took a look at the ghost market to see if there was anything he could see in the ghost market. If so, , just trade directly with the other party, whether it was money or food. The result was that Liu Guangqi was greatly disappointed. Although he saw a few stalls selling old gadgets, the items were not very good and could not meet Liu Guangqi's receiving standards. In this way, Liu Guangqi came directly from the ghost market to this end and found a haystack with a wide view. This place is very dangerous to others, but for Liu Guangqi, it is a geomantic treasure. When he sees people coming, he just needs to go to the haystack. If he hides behind him and burrows into space, no one will be able to find him.
"Comrade, what you have in your bag is food. How much do you plan to sell it for?" Liu Guangqi had just sat down and before he could light his oil lamp, a middle-aged man came up to him.
"Not for sale." Liu Guangqi raised his head and glanced at the other party. I found that the other person looked familiar, but I couldn't name him.
"Do you know me?" The middle-aged man saw Liu Guangqi staring at him and immediately covered his face with a scarf.
"I don't know him, but he looks familiar." Liu Guangqi shook his head.
"That's good. Since you don't want to sell it, why are you here?"
"I won't sell it, but I will exchange it... If you have any valuable old gadgets at home, you can trade them with me." Liu Guangqi told the other party and the people nearby his rules.
Then he leaned against the haystack and closed his eyes to rest in peace.
"This." Hearing that Liu Guangqi wanted to exchange grain for antiques, the middle-aged man suddenly became worried. He is so poor now that he can hardly take the blame. Where can he find valuable old things?
Alas, the middle-aged man sighed and prepared to leave.
"Wait a minute." At this moment, Liu Guangqi also remembered the other party's identity. Isn't the person in front of me Xiao Yitu, Wang Mantang's best brother? The two of them once had dinner at the same table. He is such a talented person.
He is proficient in the art of fortune and feng shui. Although he is now regarded as a feudal remnant, he relied on this skill to become famous after running to Hong Kong.
"You changed your mind." Xiao Yitu looked at Liu Guangqi with gleaming eyes when he heard Liu Guangqi calling him.
"You are Master Xiao, right?"
"I'm not." When Liu Guangqi directly named him as his eldest brother, Xiao Yitu quickly waved his hands, covered his face and prepared to leave the place.
"Don't be afraid, it's me." Liu Guangqi reached out to grab the other person, and then pulled off his mask.
"It's you," Xiao Yitu was stunned for a moment and then recognized Liu Guangqi.
"Don't make any noise."
"How did you get here,"
"Let's talk in another place." Looking at Xiao Yitu and Liu Guangqi, an idea suddenly came to his mind. He planned to make this guy in front of him his spokesperson in the ghost market.
As far as he knew, Lao Xiao was at the end of his rope at this time. Not only did he not have enough to eat, his wife also ran away with someone, and he was not welcomed in the workplace.
Coupled with the other party's money-grubbing character, as long as you win over the other party a little, he will definitely be willing to serve you.
"Comrade, please wait a moment. I have brought you something." Just as Liu Guangqi was about to take Lao Xiao away, the boss of the ghost market who had just been warned by Liu Guangqi came over.
"What is it? Take it out and take a look." Liu Guangqi sat on the food belt he brought and spread his palms.
"This thing is relatively expensive. It would be better if we switch to a place where there are fewer people." The little boss looked at the vendors around him and said.
"You think I'm stupid for not going. If you want to see it, just watch it here." Liu Guangqi sneered when he heard this. He was sure that as long as he left with the other party, there would be no good end. Although the other party had behaved politely just now, if he could support the owner of a ghost market, then there would be no fuel-saving lamp. Let alone killing people, at least fight. It's a sure thing to be ruthless and take advantage of others.
Moreover, he had just taught the other party a lesson for betraying his younger brother. As the eldest brother, he must vent his anger on his younger brother.
"Okay, here it is, here it is, let's see how much food this thing is worth." Seeing that Liu Guangqi was not fooled, the little boss gritted his teeth.
Kneeling in front of Liu Guangqi, he took out a small box.
"But you should know the rules of handling. You should put the things on the ground and open them first. This will save us trouble." Liu Guangqi saw the box handed over and did not accept it.
"Okay, take a look. This is handed down from our ancestors. You can't even find a few of them if you look at me." The little boss opened the small box in front of Liu Guangqi and put it somewhere. There was no kerosene. Under the illumination of the lamp, the contents of the box shine with a dazzling light, including the dazzling gold, the dazzling gems, and the restrained beads.
"My dear, this is a royal crown that can only be worn by princes." Before Liu Guangqi could take out the things and take a closer look, Xiao Yitu called out the identity of the things.
"This comrade has good eyesight and can tell the origin of this thing at a glance." Seeing Xiao Yitu directly pointing out the origin of the thing, the little boss raised his hand to Xiao Yitu.
Liu Guangqi was speechless and slowly took out the Chaoguanding, which could only be worn by princes, from the box. To be honest, Liu Guangqi had collected a lot of things belonging to the royal family of the Qing Dynasty, but this was the first time Liu Guangqi had seen something like the Chaoguanding. It's really quite rare.
Under the illumination of the kerosene lamp, Liu Guangqi carefully looked at the gadget in front of him. The entire top of the crown was made of pure gold filigree, with several golden dragons wrapped around it. The top of the crown was inlaid with a huge ruby. , in the middle of the crown is inlaid with eleven crystal pearls.
"Eleven Dongzhu?" Liu Guangqi was stunned when he saw this moment of Dongzhu. How could he remember that the princes of the Qing Dynasty could only wear ten Dongzhu at most.
Dongzhu is unique to the hometown of the Qing Dynasty. Since the pearl entered the customs, it has been designated as a tribute and can only be used by the royal family.
There are also strict regulations on the quantity used, which must not be exceeded. The Chaoguanding in front of him obviously exceeded the specifications, but judging from the craftsmanship and the traces of patina, it didn't look like a fake. Liu Guangqi was confused for a while.
