From the moment you enter the second gate, the garden is brightly lit.

Although it was raining, it did not affect the enthusiasm of the black market merchants, and the courtyard had already been propped up with rain-proof tarpaulins, and the large red and yellow lanterns illuminated the outside as if it were day.

The porch and the center of the courtyard were already full of merchants' stalls, and if these merchants wanted to be on the black market, they had to pay a booth fee, and those who paid less could only be outside, and those who paid more were eligible to enter the hall.

This Zhuangzi occupies a large area, and I heard that even the back garden is full of merchants at this moment, which shows the prosperity of this black market transaction.

Young Master Yan Jiu and the three of them wandered around the stalls unhurriedly when they entered the door, and saw that there were selling cultural relics and antiques, jewelry, gold, silver and gemstones, saltpeter and other minerals that were strictly prohibited from being sold on the market, as well as all kinds of rare things that were illegally smuggled into the country from other countries.

Young Master Yan Jiu was most interested in cultural relics and antiques, Yan Qi was most interested in rare things imported from other countries, and Yuan Chang was most interested in Yan Qi.

The three of them walked around like this, all the way from the courtyard to the main hall.

The main hall was built for black market trading, covering a vast area and connecting the air, with dozens of large pillars supporting the high ceiling of the hall, and the stalls of the merchants are lined up in an orderly manner.

Although it is almost the end of the day, the passenger flow is at its peak, and the hall is full of noise one after another, but fortunately, the location of the West Garden is biased, and no matter how loud the sound is, it will not disturb the people.

"There are actually crystal lenses," Yan Qi found something good, "I originally wanted to ask Cui Xiaosi to make one for the third uncle, but it involves a lot of things such as metering, which is more troublesome, and I haven't mentioned it, but I don't think that this exotic product is already there, and I want to buy it." ”

"How much?" Yuan Chang immediately took out his wallet and asked the stall owner.

"Three hundred taels, a fixed price. The stall owner said.

"It's too expensive," Yan Qi shook his head, "Besides, I don't know if the third uncle is suitable for use, forget it, if it's not suitable, it's even more eye-ruining, let's go back and ask Cui Xiaosi to do it." ”

"One hundred and twenty taels, the reserve price!" said the stall owner.

Yan Qiyuanchang: "......"

In the end, seventy-five taels were bought, and a magnifying glass with a very clear body was put on the outside, and Yan Qi was ready to go back to send Old Lady Yan to read.

"Let's go find the Ming Weapon of the Ancient Night Kingdom first. Yan Qi said that he was afraid that he would spend all the money elsewhere before he found the main owner, and Yuan Chang couldn't hold his wallet tighter than her, so he couldn't wait to carry all his brother-in-law's private money to buy the whole audience and let his girlfriend pick it at will.

Of course, you have to look at Young Master Yan Jiu to find a Ming device, the person is a member of the Jinshi Society of the Splendid Academy, who specializes in this, although the road is slow, but the accuracy is very high, passing by three or four stalls that claim to sell the newly unearthed Ming ware of the Ancient Night Kingdom, and the afterglow is not taken to look over there, Yuan Chang only replied with disdain when he asked: "Fake." ”

Young Master Yan Jiu floated slowly in front, and Yuan Chang was not in a hurry in the back, just held his girlfriend's hand, leaned his head down and whispered to her while kneading: "Little fatty, after buying things in a while, if it's still early, let's go to Sunbird to sit?"

"Sunbird" is the arrow hall that Yuan Chang has done with Yan Qi to open together, just across the door of Yan Mansion, now the facilities in the museum have been fully purchased, and the houses are all built under the personal planning and design of Cui Xi and his father Cui Chunyi, Yuan Chang often stays there now, so that he can go to and from school with Yan Qi, and he can also be invited by Yan Er's wife to go to Yan Mansion to have dinner together at night.

The name Sunbird was discussed by the two, Yuan Chang originally meant that his own archery was learned from Tu Mi, Tu Mi and Yan Qi went out of the same school, then he is also a disciple, everyone's archery is passed on from the mountain god, so Yuan Chang wanted to name the arrow hall "Mountain God Arrow Hall", but Yan Qi said that the name of the mountain god made others sound unaware, and secondly, this arrow hall was intended by Yuan Chang, and he personally handled it, he was the founder, and it should be named after his name or surname, it is better to call it "Yuan's Arrow Hall".

Yuan Chang didn't do it, saying that this arrow hall belonged to him and her, even if it was such a vulgar way to name a surname, it should be Yuanyan Arrow Hall or Yan Yuan Arrow Hall, and it would not be Yuanyun Arrow Hall - Yan Qi is not called Yunfeiniao.

The two named scum spent several months of effort and did not come up with a decent name, Yuan Chang did not want others to name their arrow hall, thought about it, so he used the names of the two of them, first called "Sun and Clouds", and then felt that it was a bit of a cloud covering the sun and not very sunny look, and changed it to "Sun Bird", Yan Qi did not do it, said that when he saw this name, he felt that he was going to get pregnant, and he felt very restless, so he changed it to "Sun and Birds" , but the number of words is a bit much, and it is a bit too modern literary and artistic, and it is not domineering enough to say, and in the end it is directly called "Sunbird", Sunbird Arrow Gym, and even the hall logo is directly produced: a blazing sun, the center of the sun is a bird with wings fluttering and flying, and through the design of Yan Xiaojiu's painting, these two elements are combined to form an artistic image of a bow full of strings and a bird-shaped flying arrow.

Archery, of course, is not for the pursuit of the sun. Everything should follow a certain path, truth, morality, and Taoism.

Archery is not only to learn archery, but also to learn the doctrine and morality, philosophy, rules, academics, and instruments related to arrows.

Qin Zhijue, the horse of Qin, said that Yan Qi's archery heart already has the amount of the Great Dao, and this "Dao" is the Arrow Dao.

"I still have Yan Xiaojiu with me. Yan Qizheng took Yuan Chang's words and said.

"Take him along, what do you want?" Yuan Chang smiled evilly, "If you want to do something with me, are you afraid that Yan Jiu will not be able to do it?"

"......" Yan Qi doesn't want to pay attention to this product, when a man teases a woman, his brain is smart and his mouth is fast, and everyone can play extraordinarily.

"It's okay," Yuan Chang tilted his shoulders, his lips touching Yan Qi's ears as if out of nowhere, "There are many houses in the Arrow Pavilion, throw Yan Jiu in front, let's go to the small black house in the back." ”

“…… Besides, I'll shoot you with lenses. Yan Qi clutched the convex lens in his hand and squinted at him expressionlessly.

"I've already bought new bedding and tents in the little black house, and I've smoked it with your favorite green bamboo for a few days, and now even the wood of the beams and bedposts has been smoked," Yuan Chang smiled and continued to whisper, "You are always welcome to check the quality of the bedding, boss." ”

"God, who's going to take this thing away. Yan Qi stroked his forehead.

"What are you ashamed of, daughter-in-law. Yuan Chang chuckled, and when he walked to the shadows, he reached out and gently shook her waist.

"Is the flirting and scolding over?" Young Master Yan Jiu, who was walking more than a dozen steps ahead, turned his head and looked at the two of them with an indifferent face, "I found the goods." ”

Yan Qi and Yuan Chang hurriedly went over, and saw a thick felt blanket spread on a large long table, on which there were some gold, stone and jade stained with soil or rust, and the stall owner was a man in his thirties, although he was neatly dressed, he couldn't hide the earthy smell that came out of his body from the inside out.

"Are you sure these are genuine?" Yuan Chang asked Young Master Yan Jiu in a low voice.

Young Master Yan Qi glanced at him slowly with the gaze of "stupid human beings dare to question this divine venerable", but still patiently explained to the stupid human beings: "These goods have just come out of the soil, they have the smell of earth, they have the taste of antiquity, and they have the smell of dust and sand for hundreds of years. ”

Okay, okay, you literary and artistic young people rely on taste to recognize things. Yuan Chang stopped asking the god with interest, and casually picked up a soil-stained jade ornament on the stall and looked at it.

"Are you going to buy them all or just pick special ones?" Young Master Yan Jiu asked his sister.

"Is there anything from the Ancient Night Kingdom here?" Yan Qi asked.

"These are. The stall owner pointed to a few broken Ming utensils on the right, "There are few things in the ancient night country, one is not easy to obtain, the other is too old, the damage is serious, some of them are unearthed within a few days, some of them are so crunchy that they will be destroyed on the road if they go a long way, and they can't afford to bump at all." And the legendary Ancient Night Kingdom has long been buried deep under the yellow sand, no one can find the real ruins, I won't hide it from you, just these few pieces are not found from the ruins of the Ancient Night Kingdom, no one knows where the Ancient Night Kingdom is, these pieces were found from the ruins of another small country in the Western Regions, it is very likely that there was some trading between the two countries at that time, or mutual gifts and the like, which happened to be handy. ”

Yan Qi looked at Young Master Yan Jiu, Young Master Yan Jiu nodded: "It's genuine, it's indeed the ancient Night Kingdom script." As he spoke, he stretched out his finger and clicked on one of the plates, the size of a book, which I don't know if it was a stone chip or what texture, and there were several lines of words engraved on it in a strange shape, which really looked like the style of the inscription on the wall of the ancient tomb in Weiyang Village.

Yan Qi looked at several other unearthed cultural relics from the Ancient Night Kingdom, and saw that there was also a cup made of stone, a piece of broken jade, a rusty silver coin, and a jar of wine.

Cup, wine, these two things can't be sent to the uncle, otherwise, with that person's nervousurine, it is very likely that he will really pour the wine and drink it - this is something from a thousand years ago, who will Yan Qi cry with after drinking it?

Broken jade, is a small piece of jade crumbs knocked down from which jade, no shape and irregularity, and the jade quality is not very good - this is what Young Master Yan Jiu said, it is useless to buy it, and it is not easy to clean up the stains on it that I don't know if it is soil or what substance, otherwise the stall owner will clean it up by himself, and it is impossible to let it be placed here with this dirt.

The rusty silver coin can be bought, but not Yan Zike, but Cui Xuan, who has always had a hobby of collecting coins of various formats and eras, and it happened that Cui Xuan was about to celebrate his birthday, and a silver coin sent him away.

Yan Qi pointed to the silver coin and the slate: "If you want these two, the uncle said that he also liked to study the writing of the ancient night kingdom, and there are words on this slate, give it to him." ”

"How much?" Yuan Chang pulled out his wallet.

"Buy with mine. Yan Qi patted the purse on his waist.

"I'm all yours. Yuan Chang raised his eyebrows at her, "Why don't you reconfirm the ownership of the little black house?"

“…… Shut up, you buy what you buy. Yan Qi glanced at Yan Xiaojiu next to Yuan Chang with a thief's heart, Yan Xiaojiu didn't bother to deal with her at all, and only used professional knowledge to carry out high-intensity dehydration on the stall owner's offer.

Yan Qi walked to the side, lest Yuan Chang's goods reveal more of the indescribable past between the two.

Because there are many merchants and customers in this hall, it is inevitable that the air will be turbid and smelly after a long time, so the windows of the hall are built in the style of floor-to-ceiling large open windows, and the upper part of the window sash is open to let in fresh air.

Yan Qi stood under the window and watched the rain to breathe, anyway, there are professionals like Yan Xiaojiu, it is impossible for the stall owner to think that the lion has a big mouth, Yan Xiaojiu is the one who bargains, and Yuan Xiaori is the one who pays the money, so she doesn't need to half a snack, so she is responsible for waiting honestly next to her.

It didn't take long for Young Master Yan Jiu to get the stall owner, and soon he was already walking towards Yan Qi with the stone slab written on the ancient night country script, Yuan Chang followed behind, leaned over and looked at his hand: "Is this board really a recipe?"

"It's not. Young Master Yan Jiu didn't want to pay attention to this stupid human being, but he couldn't let him really think that and then talk to his sister who also had no brains, so he had to continue to explain, "Just tell the stall owner to listen, otherwise the price will not be able to go down." ”

"......" Yan Jiu, a black commodity with a belly and eyes, Yuan Chang slandered twice, and asked him again, "Then what is written on it?"

"I don't know. Young Master Yan Jiu said lightly.

"I don't know?" Yuan Chang looked at him in surprise, "Really, fake, is there anything else in this world that you Yan Jiu doesn't know?"

Young Master Yan Jiu's forehead jumped twice, and he said coldly: "Well, I still don't know if I can find someone in this world who is lighter than your brain." ”

"......" started to ridicule when he didn't agree with him, this brother-in-law is too annoying! Yuan Chang "cut", he didn't want to have a verbal dispute with his brother-in-law-of course, he couldn't fight, he walked a few steps to Yan Qi, stroked her face, lowered his head and asked with a smile: "If you go shopping, you should go to Xiaohei ......."

Yan Qiyi covered his mouth and looked at him speechlessly: "I always feel that I accidentally turned on any switch on your body in Southern Xinjiang, and the power outage can't stop your crazy operation." ”

Yuan Chang ignored the words in Yan Qi's mouth that he didn't quite understand, and just stretched out his hands to hold her waist - this position was just in the shadow of the light, and there was a big pillar next to it, so he let go of his hands and feet slightly, and laughed in a low voice: "What kind of electricity is off? Isn't it all electricity outside? It's lightning and thunder, are you afraid? I'll lend you my arms, and my mouth can also lend you." ”

"......" Yan Qisheng looked at him with no love, since he came back from fighting in southern Xinjiang, this thing is almost twenty-four hours a day, and he is tired of her, and finally saw the teddy force of the man who is in his prime, he can't even think about the air, it's too terrible, what should I do if I can't hold it anymore?

Fortunately, Yan Xiaojiu behind him didn't have the mental retardation to flirt and scold between the two of them, and he lowered his head to study the ancient Night Kingdom script slate in his hand, and just then he said that he didn't know the words on it, not perfunctory Yuanchang, but he really didn't know it, only one or two of the words knew the meaning, and the rest had no concept.

I have to say that Young Master Yan Jiu is also a little excited about this, this is a new breakthrough direction for the study of the culture of the ancient night country, there are new unknowns to study, it is better than nothing new, and there are still several months before Yan Zike's birthday, during this time, this thing can be occupied by him for research.

As he pondered like this, he suddenly felt a flash of white light in front of him, and suddenly looked up, only to see a ball of light caused by lightning splitting from outside the hall, and it was floating into the hall through the open upper window!

A group of people next to him were exclaiming, some people screamed, "Get out of the way!" and someone exclaimed, "I'm going to kill someone!" Before Young Master Yan Jiu could react, he felt that Yuan Chang turned around and dragged him - but it was too late, Young Master Yan Jiu only felt a white light in front of him, his whole body was numb and he was completely powerless, and he instantly fell into a chaotic trance. 166 Reading Network
