Chapter 315 Sweeping the stalls
It's quiet at night.
No one spoke.
The humming is sometimes clear and sometimes shallow.
Jian Yue lay lazily and contentedly on Jiang Zeyuan's broad chest, her eyes sparkling.
"Zeyuan, I heard someone mention the ghost market when I was in the shop today. It sounds very mysterious. I really want to go and see it."
When Jiang Zeyuan heard this, his brows slightly frowned, his expression full of worry and disapproval.
"Places like the Ghost Market are too complicated, full of mixed people, and unsafe. You can't go there."
Jian Yue was unwilling to give in, and said persistently: "I'm really just curious, I just want to see if there are any new and good things. And I will definitely be extra careful."
As she spoke, Jian Yue gently held Jiang Zeyuan's hand and shook it slightly.
Jiang Zeyuan looked at Jian Yue's expectant expression and couldn't help but feel a little shaken.
But after thinking it over again and again, he still felt that the Ghost Market was not suitable for Jian Yue to go there.
"It's not convenient for me to go to that kind of place with my identity, and I really don't feel at ease if you go alone."
After hearing this, Jian Yue thought about it seriously for a while and felt that what Jiang Zeyuan said made sense.
But her curiosity about the ghost market still burned brightly.
"Then why don't you take me there and wait for me nearby?"
Jiang Zeyuan sighed helplessly, but ultimately he couldn't win over Jian Yue.
"Okay, but you must be extremely careful. If anything happens, come out to me immediately."
Jian Yue decided to give Jiang Zeyuan a reward. She stood up slightly with a hint of playfulness and charm in her eyes.
Then, without hesitation, she sat astride Jiang Zeyuan and placed her hands lightly on his shoulders.
Jiang Zeyuan was a little surprised by Jian Yue's sudden action, but then a burning flame ignited in his eyes.
His hands naturally wrapped around Jian Yue's waist and tightened slightly.
Jian Yue lowered her head slightly, a blush appeared on her cheeks, and her lips trembled slightly.
The next moment, bury it directly...
That weekend, the night was dark.
Jiang Zeyuan and Jian Yue quietly got up in the middle of the night and prepared to go to the dilapidated temple on the northern outskirts of the city to explore the mysterious ghost market.
They pushed out the bicycles, Jiang Zeyuan got on, and Jian Yue sat lightly on the back seat.
With a hard pedal, the bicycle slowly moves forward on the quiet street.
At about three o'clock in the morning, Beijing was completely silent.
The dim street lights emitted a faint light, stretching their shadows out.
Occasionally one or two trucks passed by on the street, making a dull roar.
The night breeze blew gently, bringing a hint of coolness, and Jian Yue leaned against Jiang Zeyuan's back unconsciously.
The houses on the street are silent in the night, with a dim light occasionally shining through the windows, perhaps that is the busy people getting up early preparing for the new day.
On some telephone poles, wires crisscrossed, making a slight hum in the breeze.
The trees on the roadside stood quietly, their branches and leaves swaying gently in the night breeze, and occasionally a few yellow leaves fell.
Occasionally, you can see a few stray cats passing by in the corners of the streets.
The air was filled with a faint smell of coal smoke and earth.
From the train station not far away, the occasional sound of a train whistle broke the silence of the night.
The two men came to the vicinity of the ruined temple. It was quiet all around, with no movement at all.
Jian Yue frowned, "Am I being fooled?"
Jiang Zeyuan also frowned slightly and looked around vigilantly.
Just as they were about to leave, they suddenly heard a lot of footsteps.
The two looked at each other and decided tacitly to follow the footsteps.
Finally, they saw the entrance to the ghost market.
Jian Yue's eyes suddenly lit up, and she couldn't wait to get off the car.
Jiang Zeyuan quickly grabbed her and said, "Wife, be careful!"
As he spoke, he raised his hand to smooth her hair.
Jian Yue curled the corners of her mouth and revealed a bright smile.
She gave Jiang Zeyuan a quick farewell kiss on the cheek, then turned and trotted towards the entrance of the Ghost Market.
Jiang Zeyuan shook his head helplessly, his eyes full of doting.
Jian Yue quickly came to the entrance of the ghost market, where there were shadowy figures and a dim oil lamp was swaying at the entrance, creating a mysterious atmosphere.
Stepping into the ghost market, the sight is breathtaking.
The narrow streets are lined with stalls, including antique stalls, where ancient porcelain, bronze and jade wares exude the atmosphere of time.
There are used book stalls and stalls selling rare gadgets, with strange shapes that arouse curiosity.
The stall owners were dressed simply and looked mysterious.
Some sit quietly with deep eyes as if waiting for their destined partner; some enthusiastically solicit customers and introduce their products.
Jian Yue excitedly moved between the stalls, picking up items from time to time to take a closer look.
In the ghost market, all kinds of people are walking around.
The mysterious old man looked at the items in the stall silently, as if searching for treasures; the young people excitedly walked around the stalls, looking for what they liked.
Jian Yue was attracted by the exquisite jade pendants in an antique stall and stopped.
"Boss, how much is this jade pendant?"
The stall owner smiled mysteriously, "Girl, this jade pendant is a treasure, and the price is not cheap."
Jian Yue picked up the jade pendant and looked at it carefully, raising her eyebrows slightly.
Although I have no knowledge of antiques, I have seen a lot of good things recently, so naturally I have some feelings about them.
Looking at it carefully, calculating the price.
After a while, he raised the corners of his mouth slightly, ready to use his bargaining skills.
"Boss, although this jade pendant is exquisite, it shouldn't be too expensive. Look, there are still some flaws on it."
She pointed to an inconspicuous place on the jade pendant and said.
The stall owner frowned and said, "Girl, this jade pendant is an antique. It's normal for it to have flaws. The price is already very fair."
Jian Yue was not discouraged and continued, "Boss, I really like this jade pendant, but the price is indeed a bit high. Can you make it cheaper? I can buy a few more."
The stall owner hesitated for a moment, "Then you name a price."
Jian Yue was delighted, she knew there was hope.
"Boss, I think this jade pendant is worth this amount at most."
She held up a few fingers and named a price.
The stall owner's eyes widened. "Girl, your price is too low. No, no."
Jian Yue was not in a hurry. "Boss, this ghost market is so big. I can go to other stalls to have a look. But I really like your jade pendant. If you can make it cheaper, I will buy it and take a look at your other things."
The stall owner thought for a while and finally agreed to her price.
Jian Yue successfully bought the jade pendant and was very happy.
He continued to move around the ghost market, using his bargaining skills to sweep through each stall.
In addition to the jade pendant, Jian Yue also bought an ancient bronze mirror.
The back of the bronze mirror is carved with exquisite patterns. Although it is a bit mottled, you can still see its former beauty.
There is also a small porcelain vase with delicate and vivid patterns on it.
In addition, I also bought some old books.
These are purely personal collections.
In addition, some paintings and various types of porcelain were not left out.
In a short while, he bought a lot of antiques and filled a sack.
