In the northwest corner of Chang'an City, a place specially opened up for trade and workshops. Still a hundred meters away, Dou Yan had already heard the noise coming from that direction, and couldn't help but stretch his neck to look out, he didn't know if he didn't know, he was really startled when he saw it, the road was about a few meters wide and full of pedestrians, and there were even some people standing in the middle of the street shouting loudly.

"Brother, it's so lively here, why don't we get out of the car and walk over? By the way, you can also take a look at any new gadgets. Dou Zhi stretched out her hand and pulled the corner of Dou Yan's clothes, completely forgetting that Fang Cai was angry with her brother.

Hearing the girl's soft words, Dou Yan really wanted to see the business area of the Han Dynasty, so he got out of the carriage with the girl, and walked towards the famous Fang Market in Chang'an, which was famous for its special production of jade products.

The road here is not narrow, but because there are a lot of people who come to buy things, Dou Yan sighed that Chang'an in the Han Dynasty was the largest and most prosperous city in this era, and it was true that he looked at the market here curiously, well, occasionally you can see some alien races that look different from the Han people, Dou Yan was curious, so he asked Dou Bonne to inquire, and only after inquiring did he know that most of those people were merchants from the Western Regions bordering the border of the Han Dynasty, and they brought more novelties, However, they seldom traded money and silk with the Han Chinese, but more often bartered, naturally using their specialties or random things to trade the silk of the Han Dynasty and what their country did not produce.

And most of these traders came in groups, however, they could cross the blockade of the Huns and arrive in Yanjing Chang'an of the Han Dynasty, often among the ten merchants, there were only six or seven at most, and the merchants who could take the goods they exchanged for and go back to the Western Regions were only three or four out of ten.

However, as long as this kind of trade can be done once, it is enough to make these merchants who were not very wealthy overnight, so there will be so many merchants from the Western Regions who intermittently crossed the blockade of the Huns and traveled thousands of miles to Yanjing Chang'an in the Han Dynasty.

Hearing the endless explanations of Dou Bone, a gossip loyal servant, Dou Yan couldn't help but shake his head again and again, it seems that from ancient times to the present, for the sake of profit, there is really nothing that these profit-seeking businessmen dare not do.

－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－

Before Dou Yan had time to express his emotions, he heard Dou Bone's greeting, it turned out that a shop not far in front of him was a workshop specializing in the polishing and production of jade products, and it could not be said to be a workshop, the shop in front was full of many exquisite jade objects, whether it was a jade pendant, a jade ring, or a jade hook, in short, all kinds of jade products made Dou Yan unable to even distinguish their uses, let alone say their names.

It can be seen that this jade shop covers a very wide area, and as Dou Bone said, it should indeed be regarded as the more famous on this street, and there are really a lot of people in it, but the shop is large, so it does not seem crowded.

From the beginning of Dou Zhi's entry into the door, a pair of big black and white eyes almost never blinked, pink red lips were half-open, and her eyes were full of shining starlight.

Dou Yan stumbled to the counter with those crystal vessels, and it has to be said that for the people of the Han Dynasty, the pursuit of jade is far more than any other precious gem and metal, after all, this thing has been the most noble sacrificial vessel and ritual vessel since the beginning of the historical records of Chinese civilization, and has been sought after since ancient times. I don't have much interest in crystals or anything, but I use it more to carve some objects for fun.

At this moment, there are a few crystal products in front of Dou Yan, and the carving process is really not high or low according to Dou Yan's vision, but these things are indeed polished quite smooth, and there are no traces of carving, so Dou Yan has to admit that the ancient Chinese ancestors pursued that perfect attitude in arts and crafts products.

At this time, Xiao Er in the shop was already waiting eagerly on the side: "This son, I don't know what jade you need, if there is no one here that you are satisfied with, you can also order it." ”

"Well, I want crystals, but I want the kind that is completely transparent and has no impurities in between. Do you have one here? Dou Yan looked at the crystal products placed in front of him, some were lilac, some were gray, some were milky, and some were translucent, but that kind of transparency really couldn't meet Dou Yan's requirements.

"Completely transparent?" The shopkeeper blinked, and his original earnest expression flashed a trace of desolation, but he still took out a few small boxes from there and put them on the table: "Yes, there is, but the kind of utensils carved by the water spirit can not see its outline from a distance, and it cannot be seen from a close view, this thing is mostly used to make some small ornaments, you see this crystal cicada pendant here, and this pair of crystal bracelets...... They are all made of the best Donghai County water jade, of course, these things are much more suitable than those jewelry made of good jade. ”

Dou Yan saw these crystal products taken out by the guy in this shop, and couldn't help but light up, indeed, the transparency of these crystal products is better than those on the table, and more importantly, they are quite pure, with Dou Yan's naked eye, he really can't see any impurities in them, and he can even see his palm prints clearly through the crystal.

This made Dou Yan secretly happy in his heart, but he was still silent on the surface: "The price is not a problem, but I don't need these, what I ask for is a customized object, but the transparency of those crystals must be like these." "Well, there's no way, in the future, I often deal with vendors, and Dou Yan has developed a sense of joy and anger, otherwise, then wait for the quick knives of the bad vendors.

And at this time, Dou Yan suddenly heard a brutal voice coming from behind him. "Get out of the way, bastard, you dare to stand in the way of my little marquis, tired and crooked?!"

Dou Yan couldn't help but turn his head to look, and saw a brocade robe, nearly thirty years old, with a narrow face, surrounded by two house slaves, walking into the shop with figure-eight steps. A long-shirted gentleman slammed his eyes into the shelves beside him, but he could only put on an expression of anger and did not dare to speak, and turned away stupidly.

"Childe, why don't we go next door and have a look." Seeing the person coming, Dou Bone's expression couldn't help but change, and he hurriedly lowered his voice and said to Dou Yan.

Dou Yan turned his head curiously: "What's the matter, could it be related to that little marquis?" "Isn't it, could it be that the first time I visited Chang'an, I could meet the old enemy of Dou Yan?

"Childe, that is the prince of Quzhou Hou Li Gao, you have never been on good terms with your son, the last time you gathered for a banquet, he almost let you beat up your son, let's ......" Before Dou Boner finished speaking, Dou Yan heard a coquettish reprimand. couldn't help but turn his head to look at it in amazement, but he saw that Quzhou Hou Shizi Li Gao was standing in front of his sister-in-law, holding a hosta in his hand, looking at his sister-in-law with a silver smile, his slender and slightly red and swollen eyes, at a glance, he knew that he belonged to the kind of blister eyes that had been lacking in sleep for a long time.

Seeing that this guy dared to show a strange uncle face to his sister-in-law, Dou Yan, who belonged to the pure sister control type, couldn't help but feel angry in his head. "Fuck, you don't know how your face looks, you dare to stare at my sister, I really don't care about you. Don't say that you are Hou Shizi, even if you are a monkey cub, Lao Tzu will not let go! ”
