Chapter 9: Uncle, Is It Good-looking?
Gu Yutang suddenly began to regret helping his brother take Ruan Huai back to his house.
He stopped, looked at Ruan Huai coldly and said, "The ghost market is not where you should go, and it is impossible for my brother to let you go to that kind of place." โ
Ruan Huai held the cup of hot sugar water, raised his eyes, blinked cautiously, and looked at Gu Yutang: "It's me who is abrupt, I thought that with the protection of the little marquis, I can't get out of the pool." โ
Gu Yutang was silent for a moment, and his tone was cool: "Don't think I can't hear what you mean." โ
Ruan Huai lowered his head: "I know that Brother Yufeng is worried about me, but since I returned to Beijing, I have been bored in the mansion every day and can't get out of the house, and I finally have the opportunity to come out to relax tonight." Ruan Huai said, sniffing lightly, "Since the little marquis refuses, then forget it, I'll go by myself." โ

There is indeed a ghost market in Kyoto City, which is very dark and cold, and the stalls are lined up on both sides of the street wall, and occasionally a small kerosene lamp is hung on the stall to illuminate things.
It is said that as long as you put an old mat in the ghost market, you can buy and sell it on the ground. However, there are two unwritten rules in the ghost market, that is, no matter what kind of business is made, the buyer can only look at the goods and not ask the origin of the goods; Moreover, only the lamp can be used to shine on the goods, not on the people.
When Ruan Huai followed Gu Yutang over, the ghost market had just opened, but there were already many people coming and going.
Because it was in the ghost market, there were many people with mixed eyes, Ruan Huai didn't dare to call "Little Hou Ye" to expose Gu Yutang's identity, but called him quite cheekily, "Uncle." โ
Gu Yutang took two steps before he realized that she was calling herself, he turned around, but the black lights around him were blinding, and he couldn't see Ruan Huai's appearance clearly, so he could only frown slightly and said, "Who allowed you to scream?" โ
"Anyway, it's going to be a family soon." Ruan Huai ignored his anger, got closer to him, and said slowly: "When I was in Jingzhou, I heard my adoptive mother mention that there are many powerful people in the middle of the road, who are in urgent need of silver taels, but they are too embarrassed to go out to buy and sell during the day, so they will run to this ghost market to sell their property. โ
But Gu Yutang turned a deaf ear and said lightly: "You haven't learned anything else in Jingzhou over the years, but you have done everything you can to do these unclean things." โ
When he spoke, his tone was calm and cold, and he could feel how much he didn't like Ruan Huai.
After Ruan Huai heard this, she raised her head to look at him, opened her mouth slightly, and wanted to say something, but after a while, she retracted her gaze and slowly lowered her head, although the night was cold, Ruan Huai's voice was quiet and soft: "I also want to study and learn calligraphy well, but I am an illegitimate daughter, and my adoptive mother took me back to that home just so that she could gain a foothold in Jingzhou, and she didn't take care of me." โ
Ruan Huai smiled at him far-fetchedly, "I'm so ignorant that my uncle laughs." โ
Gu Yutang looked down at her, his thin lips moving slightly, but in the end he didn't say anything.
However, Ruan Huai did not take it to heart, and she quickly stopped in front of a small stall.
Everything is displayed in the stalls, there are all kinds of spice sachets, as well as old clothes of the best fabrics, long and short weapons, jade antiques and so on.
The stall owner leaned cross-legged in front of the wooden post, with black grits and no clear face, with a blanket hanging from his waist, holding a wooden smoke rod, swallowing clouds and spitting smoke under the coal lamp.
Seeing someone coming, the stall owner took the cigarette stick a little, coughed, and asked in his thick old smoked voice, "What do you want to buy?" โ
Ruan Huai squatted down and picked out a pair of earrings, the fingertips touched the lotus pattern, and there would be a very slight ticking sound when he shook it lightly, and it was the tassel beads colliding together.
Ruan Huai gestured in the pinna, turned around and asked Gu Yutang, "Uncle, is it good-looking?" โ
Gu Yutang's face was cold and hard, and he didn't pay attention to her.
But Ruan Huai was still not depressed, and asked the stall owner the price again, and then raised his little face to look at Gu Yutang, "Can you lend me some more money, uncle?" โ
Gu Yutang: "......"
Ruan Huai ignored his gaze at the moment when it was dark, took the money bag and took out some broken silver, and when he paid the stall owner, he hid the creed in the placket of his shirt under the back of his hand, mixed it with the broken silver and handed it to the stall owner.
In the darkness, the stall owner's gaze stayed on Ruan Huai for a moment.
But after Ruan Huai finished paying, he got up and left directly.
Later, Ruan Huai took Gu Yutang's money and bought a lot of things, during which it was rarer, she also saw a person who didn't even set up a mat, and directly carried a cage to sell live cats, that person listened to the voice about the same as Ruan Huai, and sat on the ground while stroking the cat's hair while crying and selling: "A rare civet cat, sell it cheaply." โ
Ruan Huai was very curious, and wanted to lean over to see what was going on, but Gu Yutang's hand reached over to stop her, and she heard Gu Yutang say coldly: "It's time to go back." โ
Seeing this, Ruan Huai had no choice but to give up, and just when he was about to say yes, a choking and strong smell of fragrant powder came to his face, and the sound of a donkey came one after another, Ruan Huai turned his head and saw through a paper lantern that was clearly dangling-
A loosely dressed man rode leisurely on a donkey, carrying a jug of wine in his arms, and drank it without a sip. The smell of fragrant powder came from the man.
Ruan Huai was about to lean aside, but as soon as he stepped forward, the man riding the donkey suddenly leaned his neck and sniffed at her, reached out and grabbed Ruan Huai's wrist, narrowed his drunken eyes, looked at her vaguely, and then smiled: "No, I have found a beauty." โ
The man shouted at the entourage behind him, "Erphi, come and give money!" โ
Erphi: "Hey! With a sigh, he ran over with the silver taels, smiled and asked Ruan Huai how to sell it.
Ruan Huai persuaded him: "I'm really sorry, I've been bought by this master." โ
Gu Yutang didn't speak, his eyes were dark and his eyes were dark and staring at Ruan Huai. I wonder if Ruan Huai did it on purpose.
