My whole family traveled across time with an encyclopedia

Soon, more and more noisy sounds can be heard around the carriage, and you can tell that they have reached the middle of the street without opening the curtain of the carriage.

Sure enough, I heard Ning Husheng outside say: "Auntie, we're here. I'll find a place to stop the carriage."

Ning Qingxi Wenyan opened the curtain of the carriage and looked outside.

The next second she froze on the spot.

The bustling streets were extremely lively, with red lanterns hanging high everywhere. No matter how the day went, the people all looked happy tonight.

The sounds of hawking, juggling, and talking mixed with the surrounding antique scenery. Under the illumination of red lanterns, the bustling crowd actually set off a prosperous scene.

Wang Xiujuan also saw the scenery outside through her peripheral vision. Before she could sigh, Mrs. Lai also squeezed in.

"My dear, there are so many people here!"

"We have never seen so many people when we go to the market in the countryside." Lai Chunsheng's wife also came over and nodded.

The carriage slowly drove into the backyard of a restaurant, the carriage stopped, and everyone got out of the carriage one by one.

"Let's go, let's have fun tonight and have a lot of fun." Ning Changrong said with a smile.

There were also many guards behind them, but they only followed them from a distance and did not get close to them.

Although it was extremely lively tonight, the chance of an accident was high, and Ning Changrong was worried that no one would follow him.

In addition to a few guards who followed them from a distance, they were also followed by two people who had been silent.

Although Mrs. Lai's family was a little uncomfortable, for the sake of safety, they didn't say anything.

Mrs. Lai held Wang Xiujuan's arm on one side, and Ning Qingxi held Wang Xiujuan's other arm. The others stood on both sides, with Ning Husheng and Ning Changrong following behind, and behind them were the guards. A group of people walked towards the street in a lively manner. Go.

Ning Qingxi thought she had seen the lively scene in ancient times, but she didn't expect that she would be able to refresh her knowledge tonight.

"Milk, you're so beautiful tonight." She stared at the crowd under the red lanterns in the distance and smiled.

Wang Xiujuan also had a smile on her face, "There are only a few good opportunities a year, and basically everyone who can come will come."

Mrs. Lai looked around, looking like a country person who had never seen the world, and she was indeed a country person who had never seen the world. Although Taixi County was considered a city, the situation was different at that time. The People's Republic of China had not yet been founded, and the city was not as big as here. .

The daughter-in-law next to her acted exactly the same as her. She would discuss everything she saw, and she was not bored while chatting along.

They first visited the nearest stall selling small items, which contained various kinds of jewelry made of wood.

As soon as the other party saw their unusually dressed appearance, they welcomed them even more warmly, "What do you ladies and ladies want to buy? All the things in my stall are made by old craftsmen. They are fashionable and not thorny to touch." .”

Ning Qingxi knelt down and picked up a jade bracelet. The lines on the jade bracelet were clearly visible. It was a landscape picture painted on a wooden table, which actually added a touch of elegance.

She had to admit that the ancient craftsmen were really amazing.

Seeing that the other party was interested, the stall owner quickly said, "This thing in the lady's hand was carved by our old master for three days. The wood is also made of fine sandalwood. It feels calm when worn on the body." The effect of concentration." Hearing this, Ning Qingxi put the bracelet under her nose and sniffed it gently, and sure enough, there was a faint fragrance.

"How to sell this bracelet?" Wang Xiujuan asked directly.

The stall owner smiled and said: "This sandalwood is not cheap, and with the craftsmanship of the old master, I won't make much money from you. If you like it, just give me two cents of silver."

Mrs. Lai exclaimed, "Two cents of silver?! Why don't you go and grab it? How dare you sell a piece of broken wood at such a high price! Other people's silver bracelets are almost the same price!"

Seeing that the other party looked like he was not to be trifled with, the stall owner said aggrievedly: "Old lady, that's not what you said. Although this is wood, it is also fine sandalwood and is no cheaper than silver. Look, "He picked up a pair of bracelets and pointed at the patterns on them.

"Which of the carvings on this is not time-consuming? To make it so detailed, it will take several days of work. The price I'm charging is really not ridiculous, and you have to be considerate of our small business."

Mrs. Lai doesn't know what sandalwood is, but she has been in Jingzhou for so long and knows that some woods are indeed more expensive.

She muttered: "It can't be sold so expensively, it's just wood no matter what."

The stall owner was helpless and turned to look at the real buyer and said, "The price really can't be lower. Take a look and take it if you want to buy it. If you think I cheated you," he spread his hands.

Wang Xiujuan smiled and patted Mrs. Lai's arm. She also looked at the sandalwood. It was not the best variety. It was probably made from scraps, but the price was indeed not excessive.

"Xixi, if you like it, buy it."

Ning Qingxi fumbled with the landscape pattern on the bracelet. She really liked it and put the bracelet on her hand. "Boss, I want this bracelet, but the price is indeed a bit expensive," she looked at it. The things on the stall, "Well, I bought this bracelet for two coins, and how about you give me a handkerchief?"

The other party hesitated for a moment, then nodded firmly, "Okay!" He quickly took off a handkerchief next to him and handed it over.

Ning Qingxi happily took the handkerchief and handed over two coins directly from his purse.

Most of the wooden products displayed by the stall owner are made of ordinary wood.

The value of most of the items is only about a few to dozens of coins. People who can come to see him will not spend money to buy a piece of wood worth two cents of silver. If they can sell the bracelet, it is too late for the other party to be happy, but Just a handkerchief.

From time to time, Ning Qingxi would raise his left wrist to look at the sandalwood bracelet.

Ning Changrong joked: "I see there are a lot of things on his stall. If you like them, why don't you buy a few more?"

"This is the first store I visited. I'll take a look later. Maybe there are better things." Ning Qingxi put down her wrist and said with a smile.

"Dad, is there anything you want to buy?" she asked curiously.

Ning Changrong really thought about it seriously. He decided to buy ready-made clothes directly, or else the servants at home would make them. He had no shortage of clothes.

There didn't seem to be anything to eat outside that was worth buying for him to take home.

There is no need for other uses, and the servants will purchase them together.
Shaking his head, "I don't want to buy anything. I mainly want to go shopping with you and take a look at the Chinese Valentine's Day scenery here."

"Huh? How boring it is to go shopping without buying anything." Ning Qingxi said.
