Feng Hengzhi's eyes lit up slightly. "But if they want to maintain their basic living standards, they will definitely have enough money."

Qi Ran quickly added, "So they must have found a place to store the silver in advance."

Feng Hengzhi glanced at Qi Ran and hummed softly, "You're not that stupid after all."

The more Feng Hengzhi spoke, the more hopeful he felt.

"Since they don't carry money with them, the place they choose to store it must be reputable, otherwise they won't feel at ease."

He paused, "If we go south, do you know of any money houses along the way?"

Qi Ran held his head and thought seriously, then his eyes lit up, he raised his eyes suddenly, and said without hesitation, "I know!"

Sang Luan looked at the carriage that was almost full, clapped her hands, and waved, "We'll get a bigger carriage when we get to the next place."

While eating the sour plums in the box, Meng Youning raised her hand and said without looking up, "I have no objection."

Yupo and Muxiang beside them looked at each other, their eyebrows curved and they said in unison: "We have no objection either."

Sang Luan snapped her fingers. "Since everyone has no objections, let's make this decision easily and happily."

"Miss Luan, the air is inevitably a bit damp and cold when traveling in the morning and evening. This is a robe I made myself. Although it's not very pretty, it will definitely be fine for use."

Qu Shiqing handed the outer robe in his hand to Sang Luan.

The robe looks a bit gray in color overall, but it still looks beautiful at first glance.

Sang Luan took it and put it on, "Not bad, this is quite warm, thank you."

Qu Shiqing shook his head. "It's nothing. It just takes some effort. I'm already very grateful that you agreed to let me go with you. This little thing is insignificant."

He stretched out his hand and pointed in the air, "Oh, by the way, I have another one, and Miss Ning has one too."

He turned around and said to Meng Youning who was resting nearby, "But Miss Ning, your piece isn't finished yet. You may have to wait another day or two."

Meng Youning glanced at Sang Luan, and then at Qu Shiqing who was standing beside him.

The next moment, the corners of Meng Youning's mouth couldn't help but rise slightly.

As soon as Sang Luan turned her head, she saw this scene with a smile on her face.

He took two steps forward and sat down next to Meng Youning. "Ningning, what are you laughing at? You look so happy."

Meng Youning shook her head slightly. "Nothing. I just suddenly remembered something interesting."

As she said this, her eyes swept over Qu Shiqing.

After saying that, Meng Youning lowered her head again and silently reached out to touch her belly.

In recent days, not only has her previous cough healed, but she also feels much clearer when she sleeps at night.

Now, apart from occasionally eating too much and sleeping too much, she has no other discomforts.

Fortunately, I met Qu Shiqing on the road.

After the other party's treatment, any small problems she encountered would quickly disappear.

Sang Luan casually picked up a sour plum and put it into her mouth. "I have to bear with it for a while today. I have to stay at an inn along the way for one night. We will set off to the next place tomorrow morning."

Meng Youning nodded with a smile on her face, "I have no objection."

An hour later.

Welcoming Inn.

In room number one.

Sang Luan had just eaten a piece of lotus cake, and before she had time to savor its fragrance, she heard the person opposite her say something shocking.

She put down the hibiscus cake in her hand with a complicated expression, "Are you saying that among our group, there is someone who likes me?"

Meng Youning snorted lightly and did not comment.

Sang Luan's brows slowly furrowed together.

The figure of Mo Yanfeng appeared in my mind.

After thinking about it carefully, the other party did seem a little unusual to her.

If we compare her age before she came into this world with the other person's age, there is not much difference.

But now she is only seventeen years old.

She folded her arms and shook herself uncontrollably. "Could this be the interesting thing you mentioned during the day?"

Meng Youning looked at her and blinked.

So, for the next few days, Sang Luan deliberately put some distance between herself and Mo Yanfeng.

Meng Youning fell silent as she watched Sang Luan and Qu Shiqing getting closer and closer.

Didn't she explain clearly?

Sang Luan and his group stayed in the clouds for more than a month.

Only after we had tried all the food and drinks around us did we continue our journey.

Three days later.

Nanzhao.

"You poor scholar, why don't you get out of here right now? Do you really think you can eat for free here with these few lousy poems of yours?"

A middle-aged woman in red clothes put her hands on her waist and casually threw a stack of papers in her hand.

The paper suddenly fell in the air.

In front of her was a man who looked like a scholar.

At this moment, the man was lowering his head and was pushed hard by the middle-aged woman.

He couldn't help but take a few steps back.

He fell to the ground without noticing.

The middle-aged woman snorted coldly. Judging from her appearance, she must be the owner of the restaurant behind her.

The proprietress rolled up her sleeves and said, "I just felt sorry for you and let you stay here for a few days. I didn't expect you to be so shameless as to want to trade this junk for food."

She pointed at the scholar on the ground and said, "I'm telling you, from today on, if you want to eat a grain of rice here, you have to pay me the corresponding amount of money, otherwise, you will never set foot in my place again."

The scholar quickly picked up the papers on the ground, raised his head slightly, and explained hurriedly, "Please wait a moment, I won't eat for free. That is definitely not what a gentleman does."

He slowly clenched the paper in his hand, "But now I really have no body tattoo, so I can only exchange it for some food in this way."

He picked up the papers one by one and slowly stood up. "I'll be in Shengjing soon. I'll enter the Imperial College and I'll definitely be able to find a lot of money when I get out. I'll then ask someone to give you double the money I've used recently."

The proprietress raised the corner of her mouth slightly and took a few steps forward. "Give me double the amount."

The scholar nodded hurriedly, "Yes, yes, yes."

The proprietress sneered twice, waved her hand, and two burly men suddenly appeared on both sides.

"Stop talking nonsense here. I just want to see if you can give it to me now. Besides, you're waiting so long for such a small amount of money! Are you kidding me?"

The proprietress looked down at the man below, "Besides, even if I'm not a scholar, I know that there are requirements for admission to the Imperial College. You look so poor, do you think you are rich or powerful?"
