The two bought their things and then returned to the palace.
The journey was very lively. Everyone knew that all the existing countries in the west and the Great Zhou delegation would be gathering in the capital of Liusha. The people of Liusha put out everything they could to sell in order to earn gold coins!
“When I first arrived in Liusha, the royal city wasn’t this big. It was all expanded by Uncle Jun this year,” Lu Zheng told Gu Shouxin.
"Yes, it's quite lively." Gu Shouxin nodded, then added, "But the climate and soil here might not be suitable for many vegetables and fruits."
“They have their own vegetables, fruits, and grains here. We’re here for an exchange, bringing things here, and naturally we’ll be taking things back with us. Second Uncle, have you ever thought that one day, whether it’s the east or the west, most of what’s produced will be the same? Also, is there another country living north of our Great Zhou, like this western land? And south of Great Zhou, at the end of the sea, are there people living there too? If we keep traveling south along the coast of Jiangnan, whether we’re always on the sea or we encounter land, will we eventually return to Great Zhou?” Lu Zheng continued.
Gu Shouxin raised an eyebrow and glanced at Lu Zheng with some surprise.
Of course he knew the answer. His wife and daughter had already told him that the place they lived in was like this: starting from one point, walking in one direction, you would eventually return to the starting point.
He hadn't expected that Lu Zheng would actually think about this question.
Isn't this kid supposed to be all about romance and love? How come he's pondering such profound questions?
"What's wrong?" Lu Zheng asked, puzzled, when Gu Shouxin didn't speak and just stared at him.
"It's nothing," Gu Shouxin shook his head and said, "If you want to know the answer to this question, why don't you prepare yourself sometime and try it out to verify it?"
"No, let's not. Not to mention other unknown territories, I'm not confident about the ocean. Besides, I promised Xinxin that I wouldn't leave her anymore. I certainly wouldn't take Xinxin with me on such a dangerous mission, so don't worry, Uncle!" Lu Zheng was tempted for a moment, but only for a moment, and he quickly dismissed the idea.
Gu Shouxin smiled and said nothing more.
The two returned to the palace, where Cai Xiaolian was sitting and chatting with several girls. They didn't know what they were talking about, but they seemed to be having a good time.
Gu Shouxin and Lu Zheng went to present the treasures, but Xue Qianyu suddenly appeared.
Lu Zheng said to Gu Nian in a cheeky tone, "Niannian, I originally wanted to take Xue Er with me, since you've never tried this before. But I don't know where that kid went, I've been looking for him for ages and still can't find him. Don't worry, if it's something he's supposed to buy for you, I definitely won't help him."
Xue Qianyu: "..."
Lu Er is getting more and more childish. I really want to hit him.
Gu Nian rolled her eyes at Lu Zheng: "Why should he buy it? He's Xin Xin's second brother-in-law, does that mean he can't eat what you buy? Let me tell you, you better be more sensible. Besides your eldest sister, Enzi, Sisi, and your younger brothers, you should also take good care of your eldest and second brother-in-laws. Otherwise, if they're not comfortable, my eldest sister and I won't be comfortable. If we're not comfortable, little Xin Xin will have to listen to our complaints. In the end, who will suffer? You can think about it yourself!"
