Although Xu Yun did not know what the old man did, he could tell from his face that he was very kind. He should be a learned person, so Xu Yun was very polite.
"This girl is also very powerful." The old man looked at Qin Wan 'er and said, "She reminds me of my sister when she was young."
Qin Wan 'er shook her head embarrassedly. Such an old man said that she reminded him of his sister. Qin Wan' er did not know whether she should be happy or cry.
"Don't misunderstand. I am not talking about her looks." The old man said, "When my sister and I were young, it was a society where 'a woman without talent was virtuous.' My parents did not want my sister to learn knowledge, but she did not."
The old moral standard once said that women did not need to be talented and only needed to obey their husbands. That was indeed a very funny thing.
"At that time, women were literate, and those who understood righteousness were virtuous. They were very rare. More people who could read liked to read songs and novels to provoke evil thoughts. They even played with words and did things that were not shameful. It was better not to be literate and to be obedient. " The old man continued, "My sister wanted to let her parents know that she could become a virtuous person, so she recited poems and songs. The first poem that she recited to me was Xin Qiji's' You. '"
It was no wonder that Qin Wan 'er had recited a sentence, "A stream of water splashes open, a thousand steps at the head of the stream is like thunder. The boat exhausts all the strength of the rower, so close that the waves cannot reach it. "
Perhaps that was what had triggered the old man's memories and resonated with him.
"Because of my sister, I especially like girls with literary talent." The old man smiled and said, "The young men and women I meet when I go out, without exception, are all talking about love and whispering sweet nothings to each other. I have never seen people reciting poems like you two. "
Xu Yun quickly explained, "We are just interested. Normally, we do not have this kind of interest."
"It is not bad to be interested once in a while." The old man smiled. He seemed to know that people of his age should not disturb young men and women. He waved his hand and said to the two, "You two take your time. I will not disturb you."
The old man left. Qin Wan 'er and Xu Yun looked at each other.
"What kind of person do you think he is?" Qin Wan 'er asked.
Xu Yun shook his head. "I can't say for sure, but judging from his temperament, he should be someone with some status."
"I think so too." Qin Wan 'er nodded. "Fortunately, he left. Otherwise, I wouldn't know what to say to him."
"He saw that we didn't know what to talk about with him, so he left." Xu Yun smiled. "If we can have a good chat with him, he might go to the coffee shop on the ship and treat us to a cup of coffee."
Qin Wan 'er quickly waved her hand. "Forget it. I'm not used to drinking coffee with strangers."
Xu Yun shrugged in agreement. In fact, he didn't want to drink coffee with strangers either.
The speed of the ferry was very fast, and they soon arrived at the Macao region of Hong Kong and Macau.
There were eight sceneries in Macao, but at night, places like Black Sand Treading Waves, San Ba Sacred Site, and Mother's Pavilion Purple Smoke were obviously not suitable for viewing. The only spectacular thing was the Mirror Sea Rainbow.
The Mirror Sea Long Rainbow included the Mirror Sea and the Long Rainbow.
The Mirror Sea was one of the ancient names of Macao. It generally referred to the sea between the Macao peninsula and Taipa Island. For hundreds of years, it had been a shipping route for Macao's foreign trade.
Today, there were two bridges across the Mirror Sea. The two bridges were like rainbows that crossed the Mirror Sea. It was not only the main artery of Macao, but also a very spectacular view of Macao.
Especially at night, when the lights were gorgeous, it was even more beautiful.
Just as Xu Yun and Qin Wan 'er arrived at Macao, they walked out of the ferry and went through the customs procedures. They arrived at the world's gambling city, and the sky began to drizzle.
What Xu Yun and Qin Wan 'er didn't expect was that after they took a taxi to the prosperous gambling area of Macao, it was already raining outside.
Although it was raining heavily outside, the neon lights on the streets of Macao were everywhere. There were jewelry stores, shelves, pawn shops, and currency exchange shops. Some of the names of the shops were very artistic, such as "Wealth Deposit."
Xu Yun and Qin Wan 'er asked the driver to stop at a place where they could take shelter from the rain. After getting out of the car, Xu Yun went to the convenience store next to them to buy two umbrellas.
"Let's go. I'll take you to see how money works here," Xu Yun said.
Qin Wan 'er nodded. She was really curious. "Okay."
The two quickly approached a jewelry and gold shop. The LED screen at the door flashed with big words: "Welcome to use domestic cards."
Xu Yun entered the shop that operated both jewelry and gold business and the mortgage business. He asked the pawnshop owner directly, "What is the maximum amount of money that can be used with the mainland's UnionPay card?"
The pawnshop owner glanced at Xu Yun and Qin Wan 'er. Since they could speak Mandarin so well, they were obviously tourists from the mainland. He replied in slightly stiff Mandarin, "You can use as much as you want. There is no upper limit. The exchange rate is 85% of today's exchange rate."
Just when Xu Yun and Qin Wan 'er 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 said, "Boss."
She spoke Mandarin, so she was naturally from the mainland.
The pawnshop owner smiled and took the bank card handed to him by the mainland woman.
"Same as before," the woman said.
The pawnshop owner nodded. Of course, he did not give the woman any gold or jewelry, nor did he take out any goods. He just quickly took out one million Hong Kong dollars and gave it to the woman.
The woman signed her name on the UnionPay receipt marked as "general shopping." Then, she took the cash and walked to the Sixteen Pu Casino not far away.
Qin Wan 'er understood this at this time. According to the regulations, mainland citizens could bring a maximum of 20,000 yuan and 5,000 US dollars out of the country every day. This was to limit the outflow of black money.
"Is this legal?" Qin Wan 'er could not help but ask.
The pawnshop owner laughed, "Everyone is doing this. There is no legal or illegal."
In order to let Qin Wan 'er cash out without worry, the pawnshop owner smiled and said, "In the Grand Fortune Jewelry Store in the Macau Casino, anyone can use the UnionPay card to buy gold bars worth up to tens of millions of yuan. Then, they can directly sell them to the jewelry store in exchange for cash."
Xu Yun faintly smiled. He had come here to show Qin Wan 'er how he had gotten the money.
"It's very simple. Through this change in shopping methods, the channel of black money immediately becomes legitimate." Xu Yun lowered her voice and whispered into Qin Wan 'er's ear. Only Qin Wan' er could hear it.
Qin Wan 'er heard this and clenched her fists.
