Chapter 124 Visiting the Night Market



Bai Linglong was excited and immediately thought of a way to promote the night market.

She entered the space and used the magical printer inside to print out a lot of flyers.

The leaflet introduces in detail the location, opening hours, and various interesting activities and products of the night market.

As night falls, the southeast street of the capital is bustling with activity.

The night market opened by imperial decree was now ablaze with lights and bustling with people.

The streets are lined with all kinds of stalls, and the hawkers' shouts can be heard one after another.

"Hot buns with thin skin and thick fillings, come and try them!"

The peddler selling steamed buns shouted at the top of his voice, wiping the edge of the steamer quickly with the rag in his hand. The aroma of the steaming buns wafted away as he moved, attracting the attention of passers-by.

A middle-aged woman stopped and asked, "How much are these buns?"

The peddler smiled and replied, "Two for a penny, sister-in-law, how many do you want?"

The woman hesitated for a moment and said, "Give me one and take it back for my child."

The peddler quickly wrapped the buns with straw paper and handed them over, muttering, "Here you go, take care!"

"Sweet candied haws, sour and sweet, kids, come and buy some!"

The peddler selling candied haws was shaking a straw basket filled with candied haws. The bright and juicy candied haws looked particularly tempting under the light.

A group of children gathered around, and one of them, a little girl with pigtails, looked at him anxiously and said to her grandfather beside her, "Grandpa, I want to eat candied haws."

Grandpa smiled and took out a few coins from his pocket and said, "Okay, I'll buy it for you." The peddler looked at the cute little girl and asked with a smile, "Little girl, do you want a whole string or a small one?"

The little girl answered crisply: "Yes!"

"The freshly baked sesame cakes are crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and they smell really good!"

In front of the cake stall, the aroma filled the air, and the stall owner skillfully stacked the cakes neatly one by one.

A young scholar passed by, took a deep breath, and exclaimed: "What a delicious sesame cake, boss, give me one."

The stall owner responded enthusiastically: "Sir, please wait a moment."

As he said that, he picked up a pancake, wrapped it in brown paper, and handed it to the scholar, "Sir, please take your time. If it tastes good, come back next time!"

"Scented sachets for sale, they can repel mosquitoes and ward off evil spirits. Come and pick some, girls!" At the stall selling sachets, colorful sachets were hanging all over the shelves. A young girl was carefully selecting one.

She picked up a sachet embroidered with peonies, put it to her nose and sniffed it gently, then said to her companion beside her: "This smells so fresh, what do you think?"

The companion smiled and nodded: "It looks good and smells good, let's buy it."

The girl asked the stall owner, "Boss, how much is this sachet?"

The stall owner replied: "Five cents each. If the girl really likes it, I'll give you a penny cheaper."

The girl paid the money readily and put the sachet carefully into her purse.

People came from all directions, their faces filled with excitement and curiosity.

Young girls walked hand in hand in front of various stalls, selecting their favorite trinkets;

The children were running around in the crowd, staring at the various delicacies and toys, shouting excitedly.

"Mom, I want to eat candied haws!"

A little boy, holding his mother's clothes, stared at the stall selling candied haws.

"Okay, okay, I'll buy it for you."

The mother smiled, took a string of candied haws from the peddler and handed it to the little boy. The little boy immediately began to eat it happily, with sugar stains on the corners of his mouth.

"This night market is really lively. I haven't seen so many people in a long time."

An old man said with emotion, and his wife beside him echoed: "Yes, thanks to the emperor and the prince, we can also have such a lively nightlife."

A young man next to him said with a smile: "Maybe there will be this night market every day in the future, and life will be more promising!"

Bai Linglong and Nangong Yan, along with their baby, maids, and guards, also came to the night market.

When Nan Jinyao saw the dazzling array of stalls, her eyes widened: "Wow, there are so many interesting things!

Father, Mother, I want to see that beautiful hairpin! ”

Bai Linglong smiled and nodded: "Okay, let's go and take a look together."

Nan Jinyi was attracted by a stall selling toys: "Father, look at that rattle, it's so interesting, I want it!"

Nangong Yan patted his head and said, "If you like it, take it and play with it."

Nan Jinyu was relatively quiet. He held Bai Linglong's hand, looked at a stall selling handicrafts and said, "Mother, that little wooden sculpture is so exquisite. I want to buy it."

Bai Linglong said gently: "Okay, if Yu'er likes it, buy it."

Nan Jinxuan, on the other hand, took care of his younger brothers and sisters, and observed the surrounding situation from time to time to ensure the safety of the family.

The maid Xiaohong said excitedly: "Miss, this night market is really lively. This is the first time I have seen it!"

Guard Xiao Li also smiled and said, "Yes, seeing the people so happy, the efforts of the prince and princess have not been in vain."

Bai Linglong and Nangong Yan felt a sense of accomplishment as they watched the happy children and listened to the laughter of the people.

They strolled through the night market, feeling the lively atmosphere.

Suddenly, cheers came from not far away.

Everyone walked over curiously and saw that it was a juggler performing.

The artist somersaulted in the air with such light and agile movements that he drew bursts of exclamations.

Then, he took out a few small balls and started to perform juggling. The small balls flew around in his hands, dazzling the eyes.

“Wow, that’s amazing!”

Nan Jinyao clapped her hands excitedly and stared at the juggler without blinking, "I want to learn this too!"

Bai Linglong smiled and said, "This is not something that can be learned overnight. If Yao'er likes it, she can find a master to learn it slowly in the future."

At this time, an old man standing nearby said to the young man next to him: "This juggler's performance is really amazing. I haven't seen such a wonderful performance for a long time."

The young man nodded and said, "Yes, today's night market is really an eye-opener. There are all kinds of new things."

After the juggler finished his performance, he picked up the gong and started collecting money.

The audience took out a few coins and put them into the gong, praising the artist's wonderful performance.

Continuing forward, we saw a street performance booth surrounded by people.

I saw a strong man naked with strong muscles showing. He held a stone in his hand. He shouted suddenly and smashed the stone against his chest. The stone cracked instantly and there was a warm applause from the crowd.

"That's amazing! It takes a lot of strength!"

Nan Jinyi exclaimed.

Nangong Yan explained with a smile: "This requires not only strength, but also skills and courage. It is not something that ordinary people can do."

In the night market, Bai Linglong also discovered some stalls selling books and calligraphy and paintings.

She walked over, picked up an ancient book and started flipping through it.

The stall owner quickly introduced: "Princess, this is a rare and good book, it is an heirloom of the 놖 family!"

Bai Linglong smiled and asked, "How much does this book cost?"

The stall owner quoted a price, Bai Linglong bargained briefly, and then bought the book.

She thought that she could study with Nangong Yan when she returned.

Nangong Yan started chatting with a stall owner selling antiques.

The stall owner took out an ancient jade pendant and introduced it, "Brother, take a look at this jade pendant. It is an authentic antique from the previous dynasty and is worth a lot of money!"

Chen Gang took the jade pendant and looked at it carefully, with a hint of appreciation in his eyes:

"This jade pendant is indeed good, but the price needs further negotiation."

After some bargaining, Chen Gang finally bought the jade pendant at a suitable price.

He planned to give this jade pendant to the girl he liked as a souvenir of this trip to the night market.

Before I knew it, it was already very late.

The children were a little tired from playing, but their faces were still filled with excited smiles.

Bai Linglong looked at the children and said gently, "My dears, it's getting late. We should go home."

Nan Jinyao said reluctantly: "Mother, I still want to play for a while longer."

Bai Linglong smiled and said, "Come again next time. Go home and rest today, or you will be exhausted tomorrow."

Nan Jinyi also laughed and said, "Okay, let's go home, but I want to come again tomorrow."

Nangong Yan smiled and picked up Nan Jinyi: "Okay, let's come together next time the night market opens."

On the way home, the children were still excitedly discussing what they saw and heard at the night market.

Nan Jinyao said: "I like that beautiful hairpin the most. I will wear it tomorrow."

Nan Jinyi said: "I think the rattle is the most fun. I want to play with my brothers and sisters when I get home."

Nan Jinyu whispered, "놖 likes that little wooden sculpture very much, 놖 wants to put it in 놖's room."

Nan Jinxuan smiled and said, "Today's night market is really lively. I hope there will be more and more such activities in the future to make people's lives more colorful."

Bai Linglong and Nangong Yan were delighted when they heard what the children said.

They know that the opening of the night market is just a beginning, and there will be more things they can do for the people in the future to make the country more prosperous.

After returning to the palace, Bai Linglong and Nangong Yan sat in the courtyard, recalling the lively scene of the night market.

Bai Linglong said with emotion: "Your Majesty, seeing the people so happy today, I really feel that everything is worth it."

Nangong Yan held Bai Linglong's hand and said, "Yes, this is all thanks to your good idea.

In the future, we will work together to do more for the people. ”

Bai Linglong leaned on Nangong Yan's shoulder, looking at the stars in the night sky, her heart full of longing for the future.

At this time, the palace was quiet, with the occasional laughter of children.

It seems to still be telling the joy and beauty of the night market.

The night markets in the capital are still brightly lit, and people's laughter and joy still echo in the night sky, becoming a unique landscape of this era and adding a brilliant color to the history of the capital.
