"Father, the first time he came to the Western Regions, he was attracted by the different customs here, he liked the free wind here, and liked the hospitable people who were good at singing and dancing. So, it comes every two or three years. ”

Mo Qihan summoned servants to make them tea, and said with a smile: "Your father is different from many Central Plains merchants I have met. Others do business for profit, but he enjoys the footsteps and scenery in the process of pursuing profit. He has been, he yearns for freedom, yearns for spontaneity. It just so happened that the ones he longed for were exactly what I dreamed of but could not put into action, so I envied his courage and was willing to cooperate with him. Of course, he didn't disappoint me either. After years of cooperation, he made me deeply realize that he is a businessman by life. And the freedom and yearning he has always pursued have never become a stumbling block to his business, on the contrary, it is his fearless persistence that has made him a great success in business. ”

Cheng Siyi didn't feel much joy after hearing this, but looked at it with a little more forbearance and loss.

"Perhaps!"

Seeing that Cheng Siyi's mood was not quite right, Bai Su hurriedly stepped up. After toasting Mo Qihan with tea instead of wine, he asked respectfully: "I came here to find you this time, mainly to find out when the second uncle of the Cheng family left Kuyi?" Do you have any plans to go next before you leave? To tell you the truth, the reason why we people have come so far and wide is to find them. Because, they haven't sent letters home for months. ”

Mo Qihan was stunned for a moment after hearing this, "You don't even know where they are?" How so? Before they left here, they asked me to send a number of letters home. How could you not have received it in Chang'an? ”

Mo Qihan's words immediately attracted the attention of Bai Su and the others, "So, do you know where they went?" ”

Mo Qihan nodded blankly, "You know, isn't that the reason why you found here?" ”

After Bai Su and Cheng Siyi heard this, they couldn't cry or laugh for a while, and at the same time finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Mo Qihan also sensed that there seemed to be some misunderstanding here, but it didn't matter. He once again summoned servants to serve them a few more tea, which solved the mystery of the whereabouts of Cheng Changzhi and his wife for so long.

"They went to the palace a few months ago?"

"King Chabe asked him to enter the palace to identify porcelain?"

In response to Cheng Siyi and Bai Su's questions, Mo Qihan and Yourongyan nodded.

"Yes, I am afraid you don't know that the king of today is especially fond of Central Plains porcelain. Even to the point of obsession. A few months ago, the batch of porcelain that your father had brought with him happened to be selected by an official and sent to the palace as a congratulatory gift. When the king saw this, he was overjoyed, and he had to summon your father to the palace. Your father went twice, and then the king offered to put him in charge of sifting through all the porcelain that had been selected for the palace and to distinguish between the real and the fake. After this time, he never left the palace again. ”

Seeing Cheng Siyi's face showing worry, Mo Qihan hurriedly reassured: "Don't worry, nephew, your father is very good in the palace, although he can't leave the palace for the time being, he can occasionally come out with the king." At the beginning of this month, he accompanied the king out once, and went to my shop. ”

When Cheng Siyi heard this, he hurriedly asked, "Then when will he be able to come out?" ”

"It was supposed to come out this month, but the king was assassinated and wounded some time ago, so it was delayed. However, I have also inquired, and in less than three or five days, they will be able to get out of the country. ”
