(265) Bazaar
On the third part of the journey, everyone got up early in the morning and decided to play here first before setting off.
Located in the heart of the Valstad Empire, the town of Kinstrop was by no means comparable to the average town as one of the Empire's important transportation hubs, despite its small footprint and small population.
The most famous place is the free trade market that is open every morning.
Tourists and vendors come and go, not as a shopping street, but as temporary vendors, with a dazzling variety of goods, and prices that are much cheaper than those in the shops of the big cities, and you can hear the sounds of tourists bargaining and the shouts of vendors everywhere.
"Wow! Great! Queen Rosemary clapped her hands excitedly: "I like this market more than the shopping streets of the imperial capital, although it is dirty and messy, but it is so lively!" ”
Rosemary walked through the crowd, she grew up in the deep palace since she was a child, and her shopping was limited to the imperial capital business district on weekdays, and when she came to this bustling trade market, everything she saw made her feel fresh and interesting, and a pair of golden pupils radiated a happy light:
"Na! Look! Those silk fabrics hanging from bamboo poles!
The colors are so bright and beautiful! It must have been transported from the Far East by a camel caravan, and it must have looked good in an evening dress!
I really wanted to buy some to take home, but ...... The luggage in the car was so full that I was afraid I wouldn't be able to fit it! At this point, her expression looked a little lost and regretful.
Baron Victor took her hand with a pampering face: "It's okay, you can just go and choose, I'll hire someone to consign it back after you buy it, but you must be careful, there are many people here, pull the headscarf a little tighter, and it will be troublesome to be recognized." ”
"You're so good to me! I love you to death! ”
The Queen Rosemary jumped up and down like a girl, stood on tiptoe and gave her lover a passionate kiss: "This is a reward for you!" My Knights of Oath! Let's go, let's go shopping! I'm so excited! ”
Victor thought for a moment and said to everyone: "Let's all go and visit your favorite stalls!" Let's go back to the hotel at 13 o'clock in the afternoon, and then continue our journey, I wish you all good food and fun! So, don't wait for now, we'll see you in the afternoon! ”
Instead of acting immediately, the others watched the couple's backs from afar.
Seeing Princess Rosemary bouncing high in front of the fabric stall, like an active rabbit, Baron Victor patiently accompanied the princess, his arms were full of selected fabrics, the bright lip prints on his neck were particularly conspicuous, and happiness was written on his face.
Prince Constance smacked his tongue: "Tut...... Victor is so patient with women, really powerful, and can coax Miss Rosemary to be happy.
You're always merciful, I'm a playboy. But in my opinion, Victor is the real master of love, who can soak the most beautiful woman in our empire, and there is no one but him! ”
"Ahem!" The princess of Edgar deliberately coughed a few times: "Brother Maxim, you praised me for being more beautiful than my sister a while ago, why did you change your mind now?" ”
Before Maxim could defend himself, Prince Constance rushed to the scene: "Sister, as long as it comes out of his mouth, every woman is the most beautiful, and the waiter girl in the inn was praised by him the night before and almost fainted."
When it comes to the ability to pat on the back, if Brother Maxim is his second, no one dares to call him first! ”
This remark made Edgar laugh, and Maxim hurriedly changed the subject: "Everyone, stop watching those two show affection, go to the market."
I just saw a beer retail stall in the market, there were a lot of people lining up there, it should taste good, I went first, and said goodbye. He hurried towards the beer stall.
Prince Constance pointed to the north side of the market: "I just saw a few stalls selling second-hand ancient books there, William, let's go and have a look, I have a hunch that we can find precious and rare books there, let's enrich the collection of the Jinhu Palace Library." ”
Young Master William nodded vigorously: "Great, let's go, please push me over." ”
Konstanz had just walked out of the wheelchair and stopped, he seemed to remember something, turned his head and asked, "I almost forgot, where are you going, sister?" ”
"Ah...... So sleepy! Edgar rubbed her eyes, she stretched, and said: "I went to the nearby underground black boxing arena last night, and I lost a lot of money in boxing, and I came back to sleep for a while when it was almost dawn, and now I am very sleepy, so I won't go shopping, and I will go back to the hotel to make up for sleep." ”
"Okay, you go and rest, sister, we'll see you in the afternoon."
Later, Prince Constance led Wilhelm to the north of the market, where book merchants gathered, and thousands of old books were neatly stacked in various stalls.
The two of them had been picking for more than a long time, and finally they had picked out nine old books, and they could not have imagined that they could buy such precious and out-of-print books in such a noisy market, and the price was not expensive, and both book lovers felt quite satisfied.
When they returned to the inn, it was just after nine o'clock in the morning, and it was still a long time before they could assemble and depart, so they handed over the books they had bought to the coachman for safekeeping, and entered the hall to find Prince Maxim sitting on the edge of the bar, eating a snack and winking at the girls in the hall.
Prince Constance pushed William over: "Hey, Maxim, didn't you drink at the stall in the market, why did you come back so quickly?" ”
"Hey...... Don't mention it! I had been drinking well, but a horse pulling a cart was suddenly frightened, and the pesky animal broke free from the reins and knocked over the big barrels in the stall, but what a pity for the good wine! Scattered all over the ground, all destroyed! It's heart-wrenching! Now everyone has nothing to drink, and I can only come back, but now it's unlucky! ”
Prince Constance yawned: "It's too early to get up today, I'll go back to my room and rest for a while, you two can eat and talk here for a while." Then he went upstairs.
Young Master William was not sleepy at all, he seemed to remember something important, and suddenly spoke: "Maxim, I have a question for you. ”
Prince Maxim put down the fork and snack in his hand, and said with a wry smile: "Please, Young Master William, don't make fun of me, a problem that a good student like you can't solve, you use it to ask a question to a boy like me, isn't this burying me!" ”
William was a little embarrassed, he tried his best to keep his voice down, not wanting to be heard: "No...... I don't want to ask exercises from books, I want to ask questions about girls. ”
