When Yue Guanchao arrives at the small east gate, it is already dusk, look at it from a distance, except for the small east gate and the south street, the rest of the ancient city is black, only the yellow lights between the buildings are left to emit chaotic lights, although there is a ghost market in the small east gate, but no one knows where the area is, if you want to come to buy something to change something, as long as you catch the market here after the sun sets according to the old rules.

If you go far, the origin of the ghost market in the east gate, and there is a history, you have to talk about the previous dynasty.

As early as before the Zhu Dynasty, there was no ghost market in Xijing City, and the traces of the ghost market really appeared, but also from the previous dynasty to enter the customs.

At that time, after the former dynasty banner clan came to Xijing, the north and south streets have been intertwined into four blocks, divided into different areas, the northeast corner corner was assigned to the city, there were eight banner soldiers stationed, and the Han military camp was stationed in the southeast corner of the street, the eastern half of the city was also formed at this time, gathered countless banner people old and young.

Since then, all the common people have settled in Xicheng, and although the houses have changed over the past few hundred years, the general layout has been preserved, and it has been used to this day.

After the northeast corner became the territory of the banner people, the eight banners settled near the east gate, these eight banner children ate hardcore crops, lived in a spacious courtyard, as long as they did not make mistakes, they would be able to ensure that they were rich and prosperous for a lifetime, once these people dispersed, their favorite was the thrift market near Changle Gate.

Snuff bottles, inkstone pen holders, jade sachets, old books with belts, wrenches and grates...... But whatever they like, they will bargain with the stall owner, and if they like it, they will buy it directly, and it is also a pastime to have more money and less money.

There are out items, there are items in, that is called life, if there is only in the hand can not enter, then it can only be called sitting and eating empty.

These banner clans have been raised for more than 300 years, and they have long become industrious and indistinguishable, where they still know how to make a living, get him a hoe, they all know where to go, without the protection of the imperial grain of the previous dynasty, these people's lives are like using bamboo baskets to fill sand, the more they shake the family's foundation, the thinner it is.

In the end, even the ocean can not be taken out, there are people who pay attention to face, in the end, they can still wipe out the noodles and go to the market to ask for an errand, even if they play big drums and sing big plays, they can be regarded as able to support themselves, if there is that stubborn, they pay attention to the decency of the flag clan, and they don't make a living by killing themselves, so they can only take out the valuable antique calligraphy and paintings at home and sell them for money.

Of course, they are also afraid that they will be seen during the day, and they will be counted and ridiculed, so they can only sell it while the black light is blind, no matter how much money they get, it is always the family's income, which can fill their stomachs.

The place they went to is now the Xiaodongmen Ghost Market!

Of course, in a place as big as Xiaodongmen, there will not be only these banner people, after all, you are only a few, and more are poor people with clean faces.

They are entrenched in the ghost market, and when they come here, the market is open in the dark, and an acquaintance comes, dressed tightly, and they don't want to know who the real person is. Second, the fame of the ghost market has spread since the Republic of China, and whoever has an object that is inconvenient to sell openly will mostly hide it in the dark and make a move, so that people don't know the ghost, and they can't even check it.

In the past few decades, the thrift market has turned from a department store to a place for cancellations!

As the saying goes, flies come to crawl stinky meat, bees come to wrap around nectar, and do business also pay attention to the rule of gathering people in groups to like, is the king is a turtle, all score into a pool to see, for example, the coffin shop you can't open at the door of the restaurant, the paper shop can't be the door to the door with the joy shop, although it is not about feudal superstition, people are not comfortable to see it.

Life events, marrying a wife and having children, if there is a knot in the bones and eyes at this juncture, it will be a lifetime of unsafe life.

Since the ghost market is so famous, can it be a white-faced scholar, a saint and a gentleman?

Naturally, this is not possible!

In the ghost market, there are all thieves, thieves, and Tufuzi who do everything they can to get money, regardless of whether it is a pit or abduction, clever robbery, or robbing houses, digging graves, sliding doors and picking locks, even if the dead have just been buried, you turn your hands to pull up the funeral of others, as long as you can get it in your hands, you can come to the ghost market to sell it for money!

There are many such unclean things, and they must not be sold at the actual price, five out of ten things, and five copper plates are sold cheaply, and it is common for them to discount seven or eight percent, plus those who come here to exchange things, they all know what is going on, and naturally they also acquiesce that this thing is dirty, and even, when the street is sold on the street, it has become the rule of the ghost market.

It can be said that in the ghost market, I don't know how many ordinary people are tied to food and clothing, and the things here are gradually updated and changed, from pen and ink, paper inkstone, snuff bottles and other rare things, to more approachable market sundries, from needles and threads, furniture and farm tools, to pots and pans, clothes and jewelry, and even funeral utensils, cultural and antiques can be seen, which can be described as dazzling and everything.

Nowadays, if you get something that is inconvenient to know, you will come here to try your luck.
