Miss Xiao Liu is not good at shopping, and she doesn't like it very much.
But after all, she was quite happy to prepare presents for the two little ones.
Suddenly seeing Fang Jian, thinking that he is a local, he must know some weird places, so he wanted to go up and ask him.
But I forgot that in this world, although the defense between men and women is not that serious, it is not open to the point where you can shake hands when you meet.
But General Fang was so frightened that he backed away, why did the princess want to hold someone's hand when she came up? He is a man.
Seeing this, Li Mo stood between Xiao Ting and Fang Jian.
"General Fang, don't be afraid, the princess just wants to ask you something."
"Even though the concubine orders, the general will obey." Fang Jian nodded and took another step back.
Not long after they came to a not busy street.
The alleys are deep and sparsely populated.
Walking along the alley, there are high black walls all the way, which looks a bit gloomy.
Fang Jian led them straight through, stopped in front of a dark door, knocked on the door, and a short old man came and opened the door.
The two were playing charades and said something, Xiao Tingting's eyes lit up, thinking that the people here were like underground workers.
"Princess, please."
The yard is very ordinary, with fence walls, wells and vegetable gardens. This is a yard with two exits. They walked through the main room directly to the inside.
In an instant, the vision opened up, and the noise gradually entered the ears.
Then turn in a long corridor, the scene that catches the eye, seems to be in the market.
Those who set up street stalls, those who support the facade, some who travel alone, and those who bring their families together, in short, there are a lot of things to see.
"Does the princess want to take a look at it slowly, or will the general take you there directly?"
Fang Jian raised his hand to signal, and told them the rules here, there is only one owner of this street, no one knows who it is, only that the government has to give up seven points.
But the things here do not come from their family or clan, some are collected by themselves, some are made by everyone, and some are recklessly counted.
It's always chaotic and needs a discerning eye!
"What about the price? Are they the ones who have the final say?" Li Mo knew that Xiao Ting was most concerned about this, so he made an inquiry on his behalf.
Fang Jian shook his head and said, "Every stall owner here is the owner of the property. You can negotiate the price with them at will, as long as you agree with them, go to the designated place to pay."
The meaning is obvious, this place just provides a trading platform.
As Xiao Ting walked and looked, there were indeed many strange things, which aroused her great interest.
Especially when she saw something that was not available in the secular world, she was a little surprised and stopped in front of that booth for a long time.
It was a booklet about the basics of spiritual practice, and it was actually for sale.
It's just that the price is ridiculously high, at least in Xiao Ting's opinion, it's not worth it at all.
The stall owner was not surprised, he only said the price, then ignored her and dozed off there.
As for things like jewelry and jade, they are rare.
Even if there are, they are extremely rare objects, and it is said that they have to go to the deepest part of the mansion to participate in the auction.
After hearing this, Xiao Ting was very curious. There is such a thing as an auction, which is really advanced.
But the place is still very big, she was not in a hurry to go there, she just looked around while walking.
Most of the things were very expensive, and Mother Feng and Li Mo were on the sidelines to be her dog-headed military advisers. Fortunately, after discussing with them, Xiao Ting finally picked out the things she liked.
What was given to Chu Yun was a short sword. It looked super gorgeous and stylish, and it could be used as a decoration. Chu Yun likes to wield swords and swords, so it shouldn't be a bad gift for her.
The one for Xiao Xin was a set of the Four Treasures of the Study, of course Xiao Ting didn't know much about it, so she just let others look at it and give it a reference, so she bought it, anyway, it's just that the child has a wish.
Li Mo is well-informed and said that this set of things seems to be used by everyone, and the price is not cheap. Xiao Ting is not sensitive to the price. Anyway, in her opinion, the effect of everyone is the same thing as the star effect of the previous life. The value is not the final decision of the object.
However, Xiao Ten should like it.
Turning here for a while, the sky outside became darker, Li Mo thought that they didn't buy anything, so he proposed to turn around.
After all, they didn't inform the Ninth Prince when they came out.
They finally came to a small fourth floor, and when they entered the door, they were stopped by the guards, who asked for a hundred taels of silver before they could enter.
And the higher you go, the higher the grade.
To put it bluntly, you don't have the money, and you don't even have the qualifications to watch it.
Li Mo paid the money and received the wooden sign, and then led them in.
It is true that the things on the first floor are rarer than the first floor. Fortunately, they are also well-informed masters and will not be shocked by these small objects.
Soon, they wandered to the third floor, Xiao Ting saw a brochure, and ran forward quickly.
This booklet is only as big as the palm of an adult man, and it is very thick. Of course, this is not the most important thing.
The important thing is that she knows all the words above.
Thousands of ghosts go to court!
This is the text of the 23rd century, which is different from this world, and few people can read it.
Li Mo and the others also followed quickly, and looked at her hand. He didn't recognize half of the four words.
But, this is not the most important thing, the important thing is that the word "Wan Gui" on it doesn't look like a normal booklet at all.
"Princess..." Li Mo was about to say something when Xiao Ting interrupted him.
Holding the brochure, her hands were shaking, "How do you sell this brochure?"
The stall owner was lying on the ground not knowing what to look for, when he heard the sound, he glanced up at Xiao Ting and said, "One hundred taels of gold."
"How much?" Xiao Ting was immediately shocked, this is just a booklet written by her master, and something she accidentally burned in modern times is worth a hundred taels of gold
Someone, beat her to death!
"There is no bargaining in the local area, one hundred taels of gold, and even a penny less." The stall owner is also two hundred and five, although seeing that they are very human, he still speaks very rudely.
Fang Jian couldn't help asking: "What is written on it?"
The stall owner saw that except for Xiao Ting, everyone else showed incredulous expressions, and sat there in a daze.
After a long while, he choked out a sentence, "I don't know either."
"I don't know, so you still sell it so expensive?"
"Yeah, why don't you grab it?"
"unacceptable."
A booklet, a quotation of one hundred taels of gold, directly attracted the attention of many people, and immediately some people murmured.
The stall owner looked like a dead pig not afraid of boiling water, and said: "This is an ancestral item of my family. People who are destined will naturally know its value. My father once said that even a thousand gold can be sold."
Someone was dissatisfied with his explanation, and kindly persuaded him: "Girl, be careful. There is no guarantee for the things in this place. It depends on everyone's vision and preferences to determine their value. I am afraid that no one in this booklet can read the words in this book. Don't buy it just because it is an orphan."
"Yes, this booklet has been here for nearly a year. Many people have read it, but they haven't bought it. It was really sold for a thousand taels of gold before."
Someone who was a regular customer of the place helped explain.
Some people were even more curious, "But speaking of it, this booklet has indeed attracted some extraordinary people. It is said that those people, who come and go without a trace, are spiritual masters."
"What, something that spiritualists are interested in, does it record the cultivation of spiritual arts?" Immediately, someone's eyes were eager, and they came to Xiao Ting's side, wanting to have a look at the booklet in his hand.
Seeing this, Li Jian took a step forward and asked, "Wangfei really wants it?"
Xiao Ting nodded, looked at Li Mo, and signaled him to pay. She would take it anyway. There were many spells recorded in it, which were left to her by the master. When she didn't protect it well, she accidentally burned it when she baked it.
Li Mo pursed his lips, cupped his hands and said, "Your subordinate will go raise money now."
Just kidding, whoever goes out with a hundred taels of gold is sick
Fang Jian took a step forward and slapped the saber he was wearing on the table, and the third floor fell silent for an instant.
"We want this booklet."
The stall owner recognized Fang Jian's identity immediately when he saw his sword, and handed him a slip, "So it's General Fang, so have you brought enough gold?"
Fang Jian's face was sullen, and he stared, "Why, I'm afraid that the general owes you something, so I'll go get it right away, but you can't sell it to others."
"This..." The stall owner hesitated and said with a sullen face: "General Fang also knows the rules here, if someone comes to buy it, I will sell it, so..."
The implication is that no one will buy it when they come.
Before they have raised money, if someone wants to buy it, the stall owner has no right to refuse the sale.
Xiao Ting held the booklet in her hand, and did not let go of it.
"Can I change it?" She didn't want to miss it.
As he said that, he was about to take off the hairpin on his head.
The stall owner shook his head, "You can go to the fourth floor to exchange the money first, and then come to buy."
In this place, everything is ruled by the rules, and of course they have thought of everything for the guests.
Transactions are limited to silver coins, but if you don’t bring enough silver coins, you can exchange them on the fourth floor, or pawn them, or auction them off.
"Then how long can you wait for me?" One is on the third floor and the other is on the fourth floor, and they should be exchanged for money soon.
The stall owner continued to shake his head with a blank face, "If you leave your hand, this deal will be over."
"I..." Miss Xiao Liu suddenly had the idea of robbery, and she had never seen such an old-fashioned approach.
At this moment, before they left the stall, several people rushed over to ask for the brochure in Xiao Ting's hand. Although they didn't ask for it, they wanted to buy it.
Li Mo had already gone to the stairs leading to the fourth floor and negotiated there.
Then he returned, and replied with a calm face, "Princess, please wait here for a while, and the subordinates go to find a solution."
This place only recognizes money but not people.
Xiao Ting waved absently, telling him to go quickly, her eyes fell on the booklet.
Those people don't know if their hands are dirty, so don't smudge the handwriting.
Also, this is really the handwriting of the master. Could it be that the master has also been to this time and space
That's why you sent yourself here
No, although the master once transformed this time and space, he has passed away for many years, how could it be
Her mind was confused, but she was determined to get the booklet.
"Since it is the work of the sages, it must have something special, so I will buy it as a decoration, and maybe one day I will realize it in my sleep!"
Xiao Ting returned to her thoughts, and reached out to grab it.
