Summary of the previous chapter: Ma Xiaoquan and others stayed overnight in a small town called Meiwu, and were invited by the innkeeper to visit the next day...
Ma Xiaoquan turned around and saw a young man standing behind him with a smile.
"Your Excellency, are you talking to me?"
The young man nodded: "Exactly!"
"But I don't know you?"
The young man chuckled and said, "Your Majesty, Hua Ming, came here specifically to be Mr. Ma's guide after listening to my father's instructions."
"Father?" Ma Xiaoquan was stunned for a moment, then realized, "Oh, are you talking about Hua Tianxing?"
"Exactly!"
Ma Xiaoquan looked at each other with Dongfang and Beiming. Although he felt very strange in his heart, the other party didn't seem to be malicious, so he didn't say anything.
"Well, that's good work."
Hua Ming nodded, and while leading the way, he introduced Ma Xiaoquan to the situation in the courtyard.
Through Hua Ming's introduction, Ma Xiaoquan finally figured out that the small town of Meiwu was actually a very large trading market for rare goods.
There are no clear restrictions on entering the market. As long as the seller feels that his goods are "curious goods", he can set up a stall to sell them in Mewu Town. Of course, management fees still have to be paid.
The courtyard in the center of Meiwu Town, which is where Ma Xiaoquan is now, is the "fine sales area" of Meiwu Town. General sellers can set up stalls at will in Meiwu Town, but if you want to enter
To sell in the yard, you must meet certain qualifications. To put it simply, you must have three points: first, you have enough capital, second, you have a few rare and rare items that you can get, and third, you need to cooperate with Meiwu Town.
The general manager signed a sales sharing agreement.
After hearing Hua Ming's introduction, Ma Xiaoquan interrupted and asked: "When I entered the courtyard just now, why didn't I see the random people setting up stalls in the small town that you mentioned?"
Hua Ming smiled and said: "There are time limits for setting up stalls outside the courtyard. They usually start at noon and set up stalls for two hours."
"I see, Mr. Hua, why do you think I will come to buy it?"
Hua Ming shook his head and said with a smile: "I don't know this. Everything is subject to my father's arrangements."
"Well, okay" he didn't ask the reason, and Ma Xiaoquan didn't ask any further. If someone didn't want to say it or it was inconvenient to say it, there must be someone else's reason. Besides, if the thing I just saw on the sheepskin picture was real,
If so...
Several people came to another courtyard road. There were all kinds of rare treasures on both sides of the road. Dongfang Qingxue and Bei Mingxue could no longer hold back their curiosity. They held hands and went to a stall to inquire.
Price rises.
Ma Xiaoquan smiled and shook his head, and nodded to Can Xin. Can Xin understood, took a few steps forward, and stopped behind the two girls.
Seeing that Ma Xiaoquan was indifferent, Hua Ming said with a smile: "Why, Mr. Ma doesn't like the treasure here?"
Ma Xiaoquan smiled and said: "That's not true, it's just that I don't have what I want."
Hua Ming nodded: "That's right. With Mr. Ma's wealth, these gadgets really cannot catch your eye."
As soon as Hua Ming said these words, Ma Xiaoquan became even more puzzled. He was very careful to hide his identity along the way, and even disguised himself, but why did the other party frequently say that he was rich? Could it be that the disguise failed?
Already?
Thinking of this, Ma Xiaoquan couldn't help but touch his cheek.
"No problem, absolutely perfect?" Ma Xiaoquan was thinking in his heart, but he couldn't show it, so he could only think about countermeasures in his mind.
Dongfang Qingxue and Bei Mingxue walked up to Ma Xiaoquan, each holding a string of beaded curtains in their hands.
"Ms. sir, this bead curtain is so beautiful, buy it." Bei Mingxue waved the amber bead curtain in front of Ma Xiaoquan's eyes twice.
Dongfang Qingxue lowered her head and said with a blush, "I also like this bead curtain..."
Ma Xiaoquan laughed: "Like it? If you like it, buy it."
"Ah, that's great." Bei Mingxue jumped up happily, and Dongfang Qingxue also covered her mouth in excitement.
Ma Xiaoquan took out a few large banknotes from his arms and handed them to the two girls. Then he turned to Hua Ming and asked, "Mr. Hua, do you accept banknotes for transactions here?"
Hua Ming nodded: "Of course I'll take it, Mr. Ma can use it as long as he wants."
Ma Xiaoquan nodded and told the two girls: "Go, take it easy, don't buy too much."
"I know, I know"
Ma Xiaoquan turned to Hua Ming and made a wry smile. Hua Ming also shook his head.
A quarter of an hour later, Hua Ming suddenly said: "Well, there are still two hours until this treasure selling conference. Mr. Ma can go around as he likes. The time is almost up. I will inform Mr. Ma to attend the next meeting."
Ma Xiaoquan nodded: "Okay, then there's work."
Watching Hua Ming leave, Ma Xiaoquan wandered around blindly with his hands behind his back. When he reached a stall, Ma Xiaoquan stopped.
The stall owner raised his head and glanced at Ma Xiaoquan, stood up with a smile and said, "Have you taken a fancy to the items I have on display?"
Ma Xiaoquan did not speak, but squatted down, carefully picked up a jade bracelet, and looked at it carefully.
The stall owner's eyes moved and he nodded: "Your Excellency has good eyesight. This jade bracelet is extraordinary. It was worn by the beloved concubine of Kublai Khan, the founder of the previous dynasty."
"Oh? Kublai Khan's favorite concubine? That's interesting." Ma Xiaoquan turned the jade bracelet over several times and asked, "How much does this jade bracelet cost?"
The stall owner chuckled: "How much do you think it's worth?"
Ma Xiaoquan was very happy: "You, I asked you how much it cost, and you asked me back. What if I give you a price you don't accept?"
The stall owner raised his lips, shook the robe on his body, stretched out his hand, and waved to Ma Xiaoquan twice.
The sleeves of the robe are very long and cover the hands.
Ma Xiaoquan secretly laughed in his heart. Isn't this the secret buying and selling that he saw when he went to the antique market? He didn't expect it to be found here too.
Nodding, Ma Xiaoquan also stretched out his hand and stuffed it into the stall owner's sleeve. Immediately, the people beside him saw the two pinching each other in his sleeve.
After touching for about a dozen breaths, both of them seemed to have compromised on a price, and then they each withdrew their hands.
Ma Xiaoquan reached into his arms and took out a few banknotes. Although bystanders saw him taking out the banknotes, they did not see how much money he got. The stall owner selling the bracelet seemed to have no idea.
Not worried about Ma Xiaoquan deceiving him, he just pinched the banknote in his hand and put it in his pocket.
Just when the stall owner was about to hand the jade bracelet to Ma Xiaoquan, a slender white hand suddenly stretched out and snatched the jade bracelet from the stall owner's hand.
The stall owner was stunned, turned his head and looked closely, and couldn't help but smile bitterly.
"Huh?" Ma Xiaoquan took a moment, frowned, and turned to look over.
