Transmigrating to Female Supremacy: Husbands, Don’t Be Too Outrageous

After entering the door, Ji Zhen discovered that this place was truly a different world.

This house only has one room, divided into two rooms. The outer room has only one table and four chairs, which is very simple. The inner room is even more shabby, because there is no screen, only half a shabby wooden board covering it. There is a dim oil lamp hanging on the door, emitting a weak light in the shabby room.

There was only a simple wooden bed in the inner room, next to the window, with a straw mat on it. As if to keep out the wind and cold, a thick bed curtain was hung on the simple wooden bed, covering the entire bed from head to toe.

The old man put the lantern on the ground, walked to the bed, lifted the bed curtain, and fumbled around the bedside. With a click, the bottom of the wooden bed made a dull sound of gears turning, and Ji Zhen saw that the wooden bed had collapsed, revealing a narrow tunnel that was just big enough for one person to fit in.

The old man picked up the lantern on the ground, handed it to Zhao Youqing, and said:

"Please be back before dawn."

"Thank you."

Zhao Youqing took the lead and walked to the front. Before entering the tunnel, he put Ji Zhen's hand on his belt and said earnestly:

"Hold on to me, follow me, and don't fall."

"Ah."

Ji Zhen, rarely obedient, grabbed Zhao Youqing's belt and followed him carefully into the tunnel.

It's not that Ji Zhen changed her personality and became gentle and obedient, but she was just too curious. When she thought that she would soon see the legendary dark market, she became extremely excited and became more talkative.

The two walked in the narrow and winding tunnel for an unknown period of time before Ji Zhen smelled an unusual smell in the air.

It was the smell of spices, herbs and food, mixed with the fishy smell of the earth, and it seemed very strange.

The dark market should be near.

Ji Zhen was thinking excitedly, at this moment, Zhao Youqing said to Ji Zhen:

"Zhenzhen, close your eyes."

"what?"

Before Ji Zhen could react, her vision suddenly became clear. All she could see were strings of large lanterns hanging high up, and underneath those strings of lanterns was a mountain of gold.

It was a golden mountain in the truest sense of the word. The golden peaks sparkled brightly under the illumination of strings of large lanterns. Ji Zhen burst into tears and felt as if she was going blind.

"Ah, I told you to close your eyes."

Zhao Youqing sighed helplessly, took out a small handkerchief to wipe away Ji Zhen's tears, and then took out a piece of translucent black gauze to cover her eyes. The glaring light finally dimmed a little, and Ji Zhen's eyes finally stopped shedding tears.

"Why didn't you tell me in advance!"

Ji Zhen angrily pulled at Zhao Youqing's black gauze facial bandage.

"I told you to close your eyes."

Zhao Youqing sighed again, feeling that Ji Zhen had become somewhat unreasonable since entering the tunnel.

"It's too late. My eyes are hurting so much."

Ji Zhen's complaints made Zhao Youqing laugh helplessly. It was really unreasonable. However, he just liked her unreasonableness. Only at this time, she was like his Zhen Zhen, not the Qingyan County King that Nanyue needed.

Zhao Youqing's eyes were full of love. He gently rubbed Ji Zhen's soft head and said lovingly:

"Zhenzhen is right. It's all my fault. How about I buy you something delicious to make it up to you later?"

When Ji Zhen heard that there was delicious food, her eyes lit up. Her bright big eyes blinked as she looked around for the stall.

"I thought the dark market only had things that weren't allowed to be sold above, but there are actually delicious foods here?" Ji Zhen said excitedly.

"Food is the primary need of the people, that's for sure."

Zhao Youqing took Ji Zhen's hand, walked around the golden mountain at the entrance, and walked in slowly.

Gradually, there were more stalls, some selling antiques, some selling jewelry, some selling silk, and some selling precious herbs and rare ingredients. All kinds of goods were neatly arranged by the stall owners, and they were still shining just by being placed there. Ji Zhen was dazzled by the sight, but she didn't dare to touch any of them. She just watched from afar and sighed.

"Why? You don't like it? Why don't you go up and take a look?"

Zhao Youqing saw Ji Zhen just walking in the middle of the road and not approaching the stall at all, and thought Ji Zhen didn't like it. However, he didn't expect to be pulled down by Ji Zhen, and heard Ji Zhen whisper in his ear:

"Do you know how expensive things are here? That small meatball costs sixty taels. You know, even in Tianshilou, a plate of three meatballs costs only one tael of silver."

Zhao Youqing looked at Ji Zhen talking and gesturing to him, his eyes wide open like a cat with disbelief, and he couldn't help but burst out laughing, hugged Ji Zhen in his arms, and said with a smile:

"Things on the dark market are naturally expensive for a reason. Those meatballs are not ordinary meatballs, but are made from the cartilage of shark fins over 60 feet long. They are extremely rare."

Ji Zhen was stunned for a moment before she realized, this is a shark fin meatball? Using shark fin to make meatballs? Is there something wrong with the brain of this stall owner?

"Do you want it? If you want to eat it, buy some and try it."

"do not want!"

Ji Zhen immediately replied that she didn’t even want to see that stall again.

So Zhao Youqing took her to another stall. Ji Zhen remained alert throughout the whole process and warned Zhao Youqing:

"Don't get close, it's too expensive! If it gets damaged, we can't afford the compensation with our monthly salary."

Zhao Youqing laughed even louder. He grabbed Ji Zhen's hand and put it to his chest, rubbing it gently. He leaned over to Ji Zhen's ear and smiled:

"Your Highness, I have no talent and I am penniless. Your Highness, please don't abandon me."

"Get out of here!"

Ji Zhen's face immediately turned red. She pushed Zhao Youqing away, took back her hand, hid it in her sleeve, and refused to hold his hand no matter what.

Zhao Youqing was in a very good mood. Ji Zhen refused to let him hold her hand, but he did not force her and continued shopping with Ji Zhen.

The further in we went, the fewer people there were. Almost everyone was wearing a veil. Ji Zhen touched her face, which was only covered with a semi-transparent black veil, and pulled Zhao Youqing's sleeve worriedly and asked:

"Is it really okay for us to do this? Do you want to get a veil to wear?"

Zhao Youqing looked down at Ji Zhen and raised his eyebrows.

"Isn't it a little late for Your Highness to worry about this problem now?"

Well... that's right. After walking around for so long, wearing a veil would be a bit of a self-deception. So Ji Zhen gave up the idea of ​​wearing a veil. At this time, Zhao Youqing took her to a corner of the dark market.

There was only one barbecue stall in this corner, and the stall owner was a middle-aged woman with a face full of flesh. She was skillfully flipping a skewer of barbecue. The barbecue exuded an enticing aroma, attracting a few passers-by to stop and taste it.

When the woman saw Ji Zhen and Zhao Youqing coming, she immediately smiled at her business, put the barbecue on the grill, and asked:

"What do you two want to eat?"

"Boss, do you have any divine meat?"
