Summary of the previous chapter: Ma Xiaoquan led Dongfang Qingxue and Bei Mingxue to leave Beijing. The main purpose of their trip was to implement the two profitable contracts in their hands as soon as possible...
"This gentleman, there are two ladies..." The horse herder smiled brightly and said with a half-bow, "The horses have been fed for you."
Ma Xiaoquan nodded, took out a broken piece of silver, and threw it to the horseherd, who quickly reached out to catch it.
The horse shepherd was startled when he saw that it was just a tael of silver. Normally, a passer-by would only give him two big coins at most, but now this man was very generous and could only give him a tael of silver.
This stable boy is also a man who has seen a lot of troubles. Ma Xiaoquan is so generous, so he will naturally go up and maintain the relationship. Maybe he will make others happy, and it is not impossible to give him a few more rewards.
Ma Xiaoquan jumped on his horse. Seeing that the horseherd still didn't leave, he sneered in his heart, but on the outside he said kindly: "What? Is there anything else?"
The horse herder came up and said respectfully: "Sir, although our town is not big, there are many people. Why don't you stay for two more days, and I can be a guide and introduce you to..."
Ma Xiaoquan said with a smile: "You are such a stupid person in this small place. How can you go shopping? You only need two taels of silver to stay in a hotel for one night."
The shepherd chuckled: "You don't know, sir. Although our shop is small, it is very safe. Two taels of silver is actually not expensive."
"Safe?" Is it possible that there are bandits traveling around the town?
"Don't tell me, sir, it's true."
Ma Xiaoquan smiled: "Are you afraid that your little shop is guarding itself?"
The shepherd shook his head: "You can't say that. We are all businessmen and we will never do anything unscrupulous. If you don't believe it, you can go to the street and ask about the defense work of our town...
..Furthermore, we are all passers-by here, and more of them come from Beijing. Think about it, people coming from Beijing must have money, so the price... Hehe...
....”
Ma Xiaoquan shook his head and said, "Oh, we've been making trouble for a long time and you still watch people serve food."
"Hey, little Yi will know that he is from the big family in Beijing after listening to my words."
"Hey, you have a pretty good eye." Ma Xiaoquan nodded, "Okay, then tell me, what are the interesting places in your town?"
The shepherd chuckled and said, "Other villains dare not speak nonsense, but there is a treasure selling convention in our town, which is very famous."
"Treasure selling conference?" Ma Xiaoquan and the two girls Dongfang and Beiming beside him looked at each other, and the two girls nodded in response to him.
"Tell me, what are the new things?"
"Hey hey" the shepherd reached into his arms, took out a sheepskin picture and handed it to Ma Xiaoquan.
Ma Xiaoquan unfolded the sheepskin picture and looked at it, and his eyes suddenly lit up.
"Hehe, even if you are young, you know that there must be something that I like in here..."
Dongfang Qingxue came over, saw the surprised expression on Ma Xiaoquan's face, and asked, "What's wrong?"
Ma Xiaoquan came back to his senses and said with a smile: "Madam, it seems we have to delay a little bit."
Dongfang Qingxue blushed, "Ma Xiaoquan, you bad guy, you took advantage of me."
"But we are also in a hurry to leave?" Bei Mingxue came over.
Ma Xiaoquan also smiled shamelessly and said: "My dear madam, I must go and see this treasure selling convention. Maybe there will be something you like."
Bei Mingxue also blushed, being verbally taken advantage of by Ma Xiaoquan. Although she was happy in her heart, she still felt very embarrassed.
Ma Xiaoquan smiled and threw the sheepskin picture to the stable boy, narrowed his eyes and asked: "You don't look like a stable boy, do you?"
The stable boy laughed, suddenly straightened up, and nodded: "Your Excellency, you also have a good eye. Yes, I am the manager of this inn."
Ma Xiaoquan was not surprised. The reason why he asked that question was because he felt that the aura of the "horseherder" was very different from that of the "shopkeeper" in front of the counter.
Ma Xiaoquan jumped down from his horse, raised his hands and said, "Now that I'm off my horse, may I ask you your surname?"
"Haha, okay." The real shopkeeper nodded and said, "I am Hua Tianxing."
"I?" Dongfang Qingxue and Bei Mingxue also jumped off the horse, looked at the appearance of the shopkeeper, shook their heads and said, "You are so young, how can you call yourself me?"
The shopkeeper chuckled and did not answer the two women's questions, but made a gesture of invitation.
Ma Xiaoquan nodded and followed Hua Tianxing towards the center of the town.
On the way, Bei Mingxue came up and whispered: "Ma Xiaoquan, what if that guy is a bad guy?"
Ma Xiaoquan shook his head: "Probably not."
"Why not? I looked at that guy mysteriously."
Ma Xiaoquan shook his head again: "I don't know, I always feel like his aura comes from a family..."
"Family?" Bei Mingxue was stunned for a moment.
"Well, maybe I'm overthinking it." Ma Xiaoquan smiled slightly, raised his head and looked up, "Well, we're here."
Hua Tianxing also turned around and said with a smile: "We have indeed arrived. Mr. Ma has a good eye. If we go in from here, there will be someone to receive us."
Ma Xiaoquan nodded and led the two girls forward.
Not far ahead is a large courtyard. The courtyard is closed and the walls are very high. Various sharp metals of different sizes are placed on the top of the walls, which seems to prevent people from climbing. Viewed from the outside
Not seeing the furnishings inside the courtyard, but from the occasional cheers coming from the courtyard, Ma Xiaoquan could conclude that the courtyard must be very lively.
Walk to the door and take the initiative to greet two guards.
"This Mr. Ma, please come in."
Bei Mingxue said in surprise: "Ah, Ma...Ms., I didn't expect people to know your name so soon."
Ma Xiaoquan was also secretly shocked. On the way here, he and Hua Tianxing didn't say much, and he didn't see Hua Tianxing order anyone, but the name he mentioned casually had already reached here.
"This small town is not simple," Ma Xiaoquan thought to himself.
...
Through the courtyard corridor, several people arrived at the compound.
The furnishings in the courtyard are very simple. In addition to a few temporary resting places, there are various stalls.
Many people in different costumes stood behind the stalls, shouting at the items on their stalls. Dongfang Qingxue saw this and said with a smile: "Why do I feel like I'm back in the antique street of Beijing city?"
Ma Xiaoquan chuckled and said: "Looking at this posture, it looks like he is selling antiques."
As soon as Ma Xiaoquan finished speaking, a voice came from behind him: "No, no, Meiwu Town doesn't just sell antiques. Anything you can think of, you can find in Meiwu Town."
