Although Xu Yun didn't know what this old man did, his face looked kind and he should be a learned man, so Xu Yun was very polite.
"This girl is also very powerful." The old man looked at Qin Wan'er and said, "It reminds me of my sister when she was young."
Qin Wan'er shook her head in embarrassment. Such an old person said that she reminded her of her sister. Qin Wan'er really didn't know whether she should be happy or cry.
"Don't get me wrong, I'm not talking about looks." The old man said: "When my sister and I were young, it was still a society where 'it was a virtue for a woman not to have talent', so my parents didn't want my sister to learn knowledge.
, but not my sister."
The old moral norms once held that women did not need to be talented and only needed to obey their husbands. This is indeed ridiculous.
"At that time, women were literate and those who could understand the righteousness were considered virtuous, but they were rare. The more literate women liked to read novels, stir up evil intentions, and even dance with literary tricks and commit innocent things.
, it is better to be illiterate and keep a low profile." The old man continued: "In order to let her parents know that she can become a virtuous person, my sister recited poems and songs. And the first poem she recited to me was
"You" by Xin Qiji."
This is no wonder. Just now Qin Wan'er recited a sentence: "A stream of water rushes across the mountains, and thousands of steps at the head of the stream sound like thunder. The boat has exhausted all the efforts of the pole boat, and it can't come up to the level waves."
Perhaps it was this that aroused the old man's memories and resonance.
"Because of my sister, I especially like girls with literary talents." The old man smiled: "The young men and women I meet when I go out are all in love, and they are having sex. I have never seen them before.
You are right to recite poetry like this."
Xu Yun quickly explained: "We are also just interested in it, and we really don't have this kind of pleasure on weekdays."
"It's good to be interested occasionally." The old man smiled slightly. He seemed to know that people of his age were not suitable to disturb young men and women, so he waved his hands and said to the two of them: "You can chat slowly, and I won't disturb you."
The old man left, and Qin Waner and Xu Yun looked at each other.
"Who do you think he is?" Qin Waner asked.
Xu Yun shook his head: "I can't really say for sure, but judging from his temperament, he should be a person of status."
"I think so." Qin Waner nodded: "Fortunately, he is gone. Otherwise, I really don't know what I would continue to talk to him about."
"He saw that we didn't know what to talk to him, so he left." Xu Yun smiled: "If we can have a good conversation with him, he might go to the cafe on the ship to buy us a drink
coffee."
Qin Wan'er quickly waved her hand: "Forget it, I'm not used to drinking coffee with strangers."
Xu Yun shrugged and agreed. In fact, he didn't really want to drink coffee with strangers.
The ferry was very fast, and they soon arrived at the Macao area of Hong Kong and Macao.
There are eight scenic spots in Macao, but at night, places such as the Black Sand Waves, the Sanba Relics, and the Purple Smoke of A-Ma are obviously not suitable for viewing. The only spectacular thing is the Changhong Rainbow in the Mirror Sea.
Jinghai Changhong consists of two parts: Jinghai and Changhong.
Mirror Sea is one of the ancient place names of Macao. It generally refers to the sea between the Macao peninsula and Taipa Island. It has been the channel for Macao's foreign trade for hundreds of years.
Today, there are two bridges erected across the Mirror Sea. The two bridges span the Mirror Sea like rainbows. They are not only the transportation arteries of Macao, but also a very spectacular scenery in Macao.
Especially at night, the lights are gorgeous and even more beautiful.
Just when Xu Yun and Qin Wan'er arrived at the Macao area, walked out of the ferry and went through the customs clearance procedures, and then arrived at the World Casino, the sky began to rain.
What Xu Yun and Qin Wan'er didn't expect was that after they took a taxi and arrived at the prosperous gambling district of Macau, the weather outside had turned into a heavy rain.
Although it is raining heavily outside, the neon-lit streets of Macau are filled with jewelry store shelves, pawn shops, and currency exchange shops. Some of the names that enter the store have a very literal meaning, such as "Wealth Deposit" and the like.
of.
Xu Yun and Qin Wan'er asked the driver to stop at a place where they could take shelter from the rain. After getting off the car, Xu Yun went to the convenience store nearby and bought two umbrellas.
"Let's go, I'll take you to see how money is operated here," Xu Yundao said.
Qin Wan'er nodded, she was really curious: "Okay."
The two soon approached a jewelry and gold store. The LED screen at the door flashed big words: Welcome to use domestic cards.
Xu Yun entered this shop that engaged in both jewelry and gold business and mortgage business, and asked the pawn shop owner straight to the point: "What is the maximum amount that can be swiped with a mainland UnionPay card?"
The owner of the pawn shop glanced at Xu Yun and Qin Wan'er. They could speak Mandarin so well. They were obviously tourists from the mainland. He happily replied in a slightly stiff Mandarin: "You can spend as much money as you want, there is no upper limit, the exchange rate is
According to today’s exchange rate of 85%, the RMB is exchanged for the Hong Kong dollar.”
Just when Xu Yun and Qin Waner were about to ask more, a middle-aged woman appeared. She seemed to be a regular customer. After arriving, she knocked on the table and called: "Boss."
He spoke Mandarin, so naturally he was from Mainland China.
The boss stepped forward and smiled, taking the bank card handed to him by the mainland woman.
"Same as before," the woman said.
The boss nodded. Of course, he didn't give the woman any gold jewelry or take out any merchandise. He just quickly gave the woman one million Hong Kong dollars.
The woman signed her name on the UnionPay receipt marked "General Shopping" and then walked to the Ponte 16 Casino not far away with the cash.
Qin Waner understood this at this time, because according to regulations, mainland citizens can carry up to 20,000 yuan and 5,000 US dollars out of the country every day. This is to limit the outflow of black money.
"Is it legal for you to do this?" Qin Waner couldn't help but ask.
The dad at the pawn shop laughed and said, "Everyone does it. There is nothing legal or illegal."
In order to let Qin Wan'er cash out with peace of mind, the owner of the pawn shop smiled and said: "In the Dafu Jewelry Store in the Lisboa Casino, anyone can purchase gold bars worth tens of millions of yuan by swiping their UnionPay card.
, and then you can resell it directly to a jewelry store for cash.”
Xu Yun smiled slightly. He came here just to show Qin Wan'er how the money was made here.
"It's very simple. Through this change in shopping methods, the channels for black money immediately become legitimate." Xu Yun lowered his voice and spoke to Qin Wan'er in a voice that only she could hear.
When Qin Wan'er heard this, she clenched her fists.
