…
Shanghai.
Whether in his past life or this one, this is Mu Chen's first time here.
Even if I knew some information, it was all from news or newspapers in my previous life.
Hongqiao Airport.
It is currently the only airport in Shanghai; the other one was only completed and opened to traffic in 1999.
As Mu Chen and his companions walked through the terminal, they couldn't help but feel a little excited.
However, Mu Chen hid his excitement, not wanting Su Qian, Yao Ye, and Assistant Xi to realize that it was his first time flying.
But Arui's face is still a little pale.
Although this girl was persevering, when the plane was bumpy, she was sitting next to Mu Chen, and her little hands were gripping tightly, and her breathing became a little rapid.
After exiting the terminal, when Su Qian asked about their destination, Mu Chen countered, "Yao Ye, you should be familiar with Shanghai, right?"
“I went to university here.”
"Okay, then you can look around first. We'll meet at the Bund tonight. I'm sure you'll have some thoughts about this trip."
"Boss, aren't you taking us with you?"
Mu Chen shook his head: "I have some personal matters to attend to. From now on, just call me by my name when we're out in public!"
Private matters?
Su Qian and the others were all surprised, wondering if the boss had acquaintances in Shanghai.
"They're gone."
In front of the terminal, Mu Chen hailed a taxi and left with A Rui.
"Master, Fuyou Road."
Mu Chen stated the destination, and the middle-aged driver set off.
Along the way, Mu Chen would occasionally glance at his surroundings.
Even if Shanghai in 1995 cannot be compared to what it will be ten years later, the city's development in 1995 was still astonishingly fast, far surpassing that of Lincheng.
Arui was also looking around. As she watched the scenery receding into the distance, she thought that if it weren't for her brother, she probably would never have seen such a sight in her life.
She had a pretty good idea of why the prince had brought her out.
"Brother, it's so flat here!"
Mu Chen nodded and turned his head to say, "Shanghai is located at the mouth of the Yangtze River, with a flat and open terrain! It is the largest city in China, and in at the latest within twenty years, it will become the economic, financial, cultural and technological center of China."
"Therefore, your choice is right. Only by studying can you change your destiny."
"This time I brought you out, so listen and observe more, and tell Aduo about it when you get back."
Arui nodded, "Thank you, brother. I will definitely work hard."
An hour later, Mu Chen and the others got off the bus at the Fuyou Road intersection.
The streets were bustling with traffic and people, filled with a dazzling array of goods, exuding a strong commercial atmosphere while retaining the lively spirit of the marketplace.
Mu Chen took a deep breath, looked around for road signs, and then led A Rui on foot into Fuyou Road.
This road, less than a kilometer long, is lined with many shops and stalls, and its antique market is particularly famous.
Mu Chen led A Rui on a stroll through the bustling market, feeling the vibrant atmosphere of the crowds, and a unique feeling arose in his heart.
Every inch of this land is imbued with the rich aroma of history and the marks of time.
Every antique in sight seems to tell a story of the past.
"Brother, are you looking for something? Let me help you find it." Seeing that her brother seemed to be looking for something, Arui asked curiously.
“A shop called ‘Huiguxuan’,” Mu Chen recalled.
Arui nodded, and the two siblings walked about twenty meters more before Arui pointed to the left and said to Mu Chen, "Brother, do you think that's it?"
"where?"
"On the left, there's a red door, and a few people are going in right there."
Arui pulled Mu Chen forward quickly.
Mu Chen finally saw it; it was indeed Huiguxuan, but the wooden plaque was too old, no wonder he didn't recognize it at first glance.
Hui Gu Xuan's store wasn't very big. Mu Chen found his target, but just as he was about to step inside, A Rui stopped him.
"What's wrong?"
Arui sniffed, then her expression turned a little pale. She looked around and whispered in Mu Chen's ear, "It smells like a grass demon."
Grass Demon?
Mu Chen was stunned!
Grass Ghost is a kind of Gu poison used by the Miao people!
It is passed down to daughters, not sons.
Although Mu Achen knew that Arui knew Gu poison, he did not expect it to be so powerful that she could even smell it.
Is it serious?
Arui shook her head, "It's hard to say."
"Okay, I got it. Let's go in! Just keep an eye on things from the shadows and don't cause any trouble."
"Ugh---"
Mu Chen stepped inside.
Upon entering, one can immediately sense the rich aroma of wood emanating from the dilapidated doors and windows.
Under the dim light, several large counters were filled with all sorts of exquisite little items.
There are wooden furniture, as well as jade, bronze, ceramics, calligraphy and paintings, and so on.
The sheer variety is dazzling.
At this moment, in front of the calligraphy and painting counter, the owner was greeting an elderly man in a blue robe with a beaming smile.
The old man in the blue robe was followed by a young couple.
“Brother, it’s that man in gray. The smell of the grass ghost is coming from him.”
Arui whispered a reminder to Mu Chen, who nodded to indicate that he understood, and then lowered his voice again to ask, "Is it serious?"
"If the ant poison isn't removed in time, the person won't live more than seven days."
"Okay! Wait for me over there."
Mu Chen stepped forward, quietly placed his hand on his left arm, and gently pressed the Shennong Space Mark. The next second, his eyes gradually brightened.
He scanned the items on the wooden shelf one by one.
All fakes will gradually become apparent.
