After Huo Yan went to Beiqiang first, only Yuan Xuan and Yuan Nan'an were left to find Yuan Qiyu.
The two rode on horseback and arrived at the city where Yuan Qi Yu had appeared and reunited with Mo Yu in less than a day.
But unexpectedly, Yuan Qi Yu ran quite fast.
According to Mo Yu's inquiries, he only sent a letter in the city, then took a short rest in the inn, and even set off at three o'clock in the morning without waiting for dawn.
The waiter at the inn said that there was a middle-aged man traveling with him.
I originally thought that the two were father and son, but seeing that the man was very respectful to the young man, they looked more like master and servant.
When Yuan Nan'an heard the news, he couldn't help but wonder who this man was.
As for Yuan Qi Yu, she really didn't know what to do.
Ever since she was rescued from Heishan Village, Xiaoyu has maintained a beast-like demeanor and personality.
He couldn't speak before, liked to squat around, and was very aggressive when he met people or things he didn't like... These were all manifestations.
Although he is young, he has a strong sense and keen awareness of danger.
This is why I like playing with Xiaobai.
Although his mother had tried her best to teach him good behavior and sent him to classes over the past six months, he was gradually indistinguishable from a normal person when he was in the capital.
But perhaps it was because Huo Yan and Yuan Zhao were both gone at once that this instinct was aroused again.
Even on the road now, he is extremely cautious.
If this goes on, he will just have to run away and she will chase him, which is not a solution.
Mo Yu arranged accommodation for the two of them at the inn, allowing them to rest for a night before continuing on their journey.
He continued to investigate.
Yuan Nan'an was thinking of a plan while going upstairs, and suddenly he felt that his ears seemed to be particularly quiet recently.
She paused and turned around to see Yuan Xuan following her.
Seeing her turn around, Yuan Xuan looked up and asked, "What's wrong? Nan Nan."
There doesn't seem to be anything unusual.
But Yuan Nan'an tilted his head and stared at him.
Was it her imagination? Why did she feel that her cousin had been much quieter during the journey?
Before in the capital, he had endless things to say to her every day, so why has he become so much quieter recently?
Could it be that she has been busy practicing her marksmanship and neglected him recently?
She stared at him for a long time, and finally asked,
"Cousin, are you feeling unwell?"
Yuan Xuan was silent and shook his head, "No, I'm fine."
"Oh..." Since he said he was fine, Yuan Nan'an didn't say anything else and turned around and went upstairs to his room.
When she closed the door, Yuan Xuan was standing outside her door.
He stood there, staring at the closed door for a long time, and finally sighed.
After Yuan Nan'an sat down, he remembered that he had just wanted to discuss with Yuan Xuan how to pursue Xiaoyu.
I stood up and wanted to go out to find him, but stopped at the door.
She could clearly feel his attitude change, but she couldn't figure out what was going on.
Yuan Nan'an thought carefully about what had happened along the way. Since when did something seem a little wrong with him?
She rewound the tape day by day, finally stopping at the first night of her departure.
That night, he came to her room to talk to her. Later, her father came to give her medicine and asked him to go out with her...
It seemed that from that night onwards, he no longer stayed by his side all the time.
Why? Was it something that happened that night?
…
Along the way, Yuan Qi Yu sat in Zhou Shan's cart and listened to him tell stories about the trade route to pass the time.
Zhou Shan was from Yangzhou, and his business was selling some cotton cloth from Yangzhou to the northwest.
He didn't have much capital, and the cotton cloth he bought was not of very high-quality material, but he could still sell it in the northwest.
This trip is entirely based on physical strength to earn hard-earned money.
Yuan Qi Yu touched the cotton fabrics and began to become interested in Zhou Shan's business.
He had been imprisoned in the past and had never even left Heishan Village.
Later, he followed his mother from Yangzhou to the capital and lived a stable life.
What he liked most at that time was listening to Shen Yunzhou telling him stories about his travels.
Later, I listened to my uncle telling stories, in which he talked about how every corner of the world has its own unique scenery.
He could never imagine what those different scenes looked like.
But this time, he traveled all over the country, from the capital to the northwest.
At first there is a wide plain, then after crossing a few mountains, you will pass through wasteland to the west and even walk on the edge of the desert.
The journey was long, but the ever-changing scenery made Yuan Qi Yu happy every day.
Waking up to face new scenery every day makes him very satisfied.
So these days he kept thinking, what should he do in the future to be like now?
Zhou Shan's appearance gave him new inspiration.
Maybe he could be like Zhou Shan when he grows up? As long as he does business, he can go to many different places.
Thinking of this, Yuan Qi Yu couldn't help but feel excited.
He really wanted to tell his father and mother about this idea immediately.
But he didn't know where his father and mother were, so he sent another letter from the city where he landed.
The content of the letter was very simple, only a few lines:
Third son,
Is everything safe? Are the bandits being suppressed?
Yu wants to do business.
Little Saner
He wasn't seeking Yuan Heng's opinion, he just wanted to find a suitable person to share his thoughts with.
As usual, the letter was sent to the Prince of Jin's Mansion in the capital. After sending the letter, he walked happily on the road, thinking about his "business plan".
He carefully calculated the money he had left in his mind.
He was quite frugal during the trip and barely spent any money.
So he thought, should he buy a batch of goods now so that he and Zhou Shan can sell them to the northwest together?
Zhou Shan told him that in the northwest, the best-selling items are winter clothes, and of course tea, rice and other items.
So he walked into a fabric store and asked the price of the fabrics there.
The boss didn't take him seriously at first because he was just a kid, but Yuan Qiyu straightened his back and said,
"I'm here to see it for someone else."
The boss took a look at him and saw that his clothes were made of good material. He thought that he must be some playful young master.
There were no customers at that time, so the boss asked,
"What would you like to see, young master? Silk or brocade?"
Yuan Qi Yu thought about it. Zhou Shan was selling cotton cloth. If he also sold cotton cloth, wouldn’t he be in conflict with Zhou Shan?
It is said that the northwest is very cold and you need good clothes to survive the winter, so he looked down at his clothes.
The material of his clothes is very good and it keeps him warm.
So he asked, "How much is my material?"
The boss walked up, touched his clothes, and pursed his lips. He was now certain that Yuan Qiyu was the son of a wealthy family who had come out to play.
This material is the best kind of silk.
Even the most famous Baoshang Pavilion in the capital may not have it.
This young man actually came to his shop and asked how much it cost?
