Chapter 258 The greatest treasure.



As soon as Qin Yuan went out, he saw a palace-dressed woman guarding outside the mansion.

Her clothes were like colorful clouds, and her figure was unusually slender with plump breasts and a thin waist.

Qin Yuan just took a glance.

A face naturally appeared in my mind.

Her skin is as smooth as jade, her eyes are as clear as autumn water, and her gaze is full of charm.

Why is Murong Yanran here again!

Without waiting for Qin Yuan to take any action.

Murong Yanran came forward, winked playfully, and said, "Sister, are you going out again tonight? Can you take me with you?"

After saying this, she smiled, like a blooming spring flower, indescribably beautiful and charming.

Ming Zhanxue didn't hesitate to be polite and walked up to Murong Yanran, holding her hand affectionately. He winked and said:

"Since my sister is interested, I will accompany her around today!"

Murong Yanran held Ming Zhanxue's arm affectionately and said with a smile, "Sister, you are so kind."

"My sister has been in the officialdom for a long time. She is exhausted every day from the reception and farewell, official duties, and official documents."

"But as soon as I saw my sister, I felt like we were very compatible and couldn't help but want to tell her everything that was in my heart."

Ming Zhanxue looked at her clear eyes and suddenly felt that the words were pitiful.

Indeed, for someone like her, with her status, how difficult would it be to find a few close friends?

Ming Zhanxue turned over her small hand, gently held her soft palm, and said with a smile: "Sister, when you see me, you are also very happy."

"I can't help but want to tell my sister everything that's in my heart."

The two girls chatted side by side, very affectionately, and talked about everything.

Qin Yuan was left out by the two of them and was completely confused.

When did these two people become acquainted?

There is also Li Yinhuan.

Are relationships between girls so simple?

Isn’t it said that in a room with four people, you can create at least four groups?

It is arguably the most troublesome creature.

Even Confucius said, "Only women and villains are difficult to raise."

In other words, you must never offend women and villains!

You can't bear it.

Now, Qin Yuan looked at the two women who were suspected to be rivals in love. They were closer than sisters. He was dumbfounded and couldn't believe it. It felt too magical...

"Sister, actually I've always wanted to go somewhere."

"But ever since Grandpa passed away, I've had no one to accompany me, and I don't have any free time. I wonder if you can go with me to see him?"

"This is a very interesting place. I think my sister will be interested in it too."

Murong Yanran whispered.

As she spoke, a hint of loneliness covered her pretty face.

She has lived in the palace with the empress for a long time, but she has not enjoyed the wealth and honor, which only makes people dislike her. Who can she complain to about her hardship?

"Since you want to go, I will accompany you. If you get tired of staying in the palace, you can come to my house to find me."

"Don't worry, sister. I can still make the decision in this family."

Ming Zhanxue said with a smile.

"Thank you, sister--" Murong Yanran leaned on Ming Zhanxue's arm, very intimately.

Her beautiful eyes were filled with excitement and mischief. How could she look like an inner chamberlain or the secretary of the Emperor of the Great Zhou?

She is simply an innocent girl of fifteen or sixteen.

Qin Yuan followed the two of them, walking through the streets and alleys, and finally came to a mysterious place.

This is a market town.

On both sides of the avenue are more than a dozen dilapidated loess houses.

Some of them have collapsed, leaving only two walls on the left and right, and bamboo and cloth sheds have been casually built on the roof, which looks a bit bleak.

As the magistrate of Jingzhou, Qin Yuan had some knowledge of this place.

Originally, it was an official road that could accommodate two cars running side by side.

Later it was abandoned and gradually became deserted.

So this place was occupied by some small vendors who could not afford to pay the protection fee.

He built houses with rammed earth, ran a business, and supported his family.

"I didn't expect that someone of your status, Murong, would actually want to visit the Ghost Market." Qin Yuan felt quite emotional.

Ming Zhanxue turned her head and looked at Qin Yuan, puzzled: "Husband, what is the ghost market?"

Qin Yuan explained with a smile: "Because this market is not open during the day, but only at night, and there is no harassment from the evildoers, both in the underworld and in society, people can do business with confidence, so it is called the Ghost Market."

"It means that only wandering ghosts outside the imperial court would come here to do business."

Murong Yanran turned her head and smiled, "Master Qin is indeed worthy of being the father and mother official of Jingzhou City. He is indeed well-informed about the affairs of Jingzhou. It is Yanran who underestimated him."

Qin Yuan shrugged, not pretending: "Of course I have to. If I don't know the waters of Jingzhou, how can I lie flat on my back?"

Ming Zhanxue looked around curiously.

There are many vendors on both sides of the street. Most of them just put a few stones of the same height under the shed, and casually put table boards and cloths on them, which become wooden stalls for displaying goods.

There are shops selling porcelain bottles, earthenware jars and various handicrafts.

There are also shops selling gold, silver, jade, antique calligraphy and paintings.

There were also some old books for sale. Ming Zhanxue went up to take a look and her pretty face immediately turned red. They were all indecent books!

Strangely, there was no one behind these stalls.

There is often only one person looking after every two or three stalls. He doesn't greet customers or shout, but just sleeps soundly in the stall, as if he has no intention of doing business at all.

"Why did my sister think of coming to such a place?"

"There's no rouge or powder here, no clothes or jewelry, and no food."

"How could my sister find this 'interesting'?"

After Ming Zhanxue got over the novelty, he turned around and looked at Murong Yanran and asked.

Murong Yanran pursed her lips and smiled, a rare hint of pride showing in her peaceful expression. She smiled and said, "Sister, you don't know."

"Most of those who can come here are those whose families have fallen on hard times and have no choice but to sell their ancestral treasures."

"People like this can't even afford the tea and water fees in Jingzhou Market, let alone setting up a street stall. If they go to a pawnshop or something like that, they'll most likely be ripped off and lose everything."

"So, I can only come here to stay and wait for a discerning buyer to appear."

"Sister, don't underestimate the things sold here. Although nine times out of ten they are just a pile of junk, fake and old-fashioned counterfeits."

"But among the thousands of pieces, my sister might find a priceless treasure."

"This kind of fun can't be found anywhere else."

Hearing this, Ming Zhanxue smiled slightly: "Sister, the tone of your words doesn't sound like that of the powerful Lord Murong, but rather like the female manager of the Treasure Appraisal Pavilion!"

"Sis, I don't have such a keen eye, so I can only rely on my younger sister to help me pick out a few treasures."

Murong Yanran laughed and said with a smile, "Sister, you're joking."

"Sister, what good eyesight do you have..."

After she finished speaking, she felt a little sad again.

Hasn't my sister found the greatest treasure in the world?

Qin Yuan is a sentimental person. They stick together through thick and thin, and remain loyal to each other even in poverty and hardship.

No one can shake the place of his sister in his heart.

Who in the world can compare with my sister in terms of vision?
