Chapter 201: Wandering Elsewhere
Going around and around, Nalan Jin and Dongfang Yi have been away for more than a month. In this short period of one month, the two of them have experienced it as if they had gone through a century.
All the experiences in the first half of my life are not as thrilling as in this month, which is unforgettable.
The so-called reading 10,000 books is better than traveling 10,000 miles.
Maybe that's the reason. If Nalan Jin and Dongfang Yi hadn't decided to come to Mocheng to investigate the business situation, there would have been no future incidents.
You won't understand that people's hearts are sinister.
Nalan Zhen sent Uncle Xing to the door every day to investigate, and he squatted for half an hour. But every time I waited, I got nothing.
"How is it, is there still no news from Jin'er?" Nalan Zhen interrogated eagerly.
"No, there is no news from the people I sent out to inquire." Uncle Xing also shook his head in distress, repeating one thing every day, he was almost defeated by his helplessness.
"It's been more than a month, what the hell is going on with them? Is it life or death, why is there no news at all? Nalan Zhen was worried and had lost a lot of weight in a month, "The day before yesterday, I heard from the people in the city that there was a war going on over there, so he wouldn't have anything to do, right?" ”
Nalan Zhen is old and listens to the wind and rain, and he can't stand the slightest blow. The roots of his ears also softened, and when others said that the sesame seeds were small, he could think of the size of a mung bean.
Often, before things happen, they scare themselves out of their minds.
"No, I've heard what you said, and it's not a place at all. The young lady and the aunt went to the west, and they said the north, which is still far away. Uncle Xing explained helplessly.
Nalan Zhen thought about it for a long time, and finally loosened his frowning brow a little.
"Alas, it's really heartbreaking, go to the door and see if there is any news and tell me quickly." Nalan Zhen waved his hand in disappointment.
Just as Nalan Zhen was about to go back to the house to rest, suddenly a subordinate hurriedly ran over with a letter.
"Sir, letter, letter!" The subordinate was also speechless with excitement.
"Letter.! Did they send it back? When Nalan Zhen heard this, he immediately came to his senses.
"Yes, it's Miss's letter." The subordinate nodded vigorously, handed the letter to Uncle Xing, and asked Uncle Xing to let him go to the account room to get the silver.
"Quick! Take it apart and see what the letter says, I've been looking forward to it for so long, and finally wait for a little rest. ”
Nalan Zhen was impatient to let Uncle Xing, and quickly opened his heart to read to him. After reading it, Nalan Zhen read the letter again in disbelief, worried that Uncle Xing would report good news or bad news.
"It's okay, I'm finally relieved. This letter was also sent too slowly, why did the letter from half a month ago only arrive now? Nalan Zhen let out a long sigh and blamed the late delivery of the letter.
"The Western Regions are already far away from us, and with some unfixed factors on the road, it will naturally be too late. I've always told you that Miss and Uncle will be fine, but you're worrying too much
Finish. "Uncle Xing finally didn't talk in front of Nalan Zhen for so long in vain.
"You're an afterthought. Okay, I'm a little tired, go back and rest for a while. You still can't relax, and you have to send someone to watch at the door, maybe one day Jin'er will send a letter back. ”
Even if Nalan Zhen is resting, he does not forget to dominate Uncle Xing, so that he is still busy and always pays attention to Nalan Jin's news.
"Got it." Uncle Xing nodded with satisfaction.
Nalan Jin is not in the mansion, Pei's life is like suddenly losing motivation, languishing all day long, seeing everything without fighting spirit and feeling tasteless about eating.
Even the property in the mansion, which she has always fancied, does not seem to be very attractive to her.
Sitting in the room all day sullen, sighing.
"Madame, Madame, Madame, Mademoiselle has news." Qing'er ran in and said.
"What's the news, how is Jin'er, when will she come back, have they found any special ways to do business in the Western Regions?" Pei Shi sat up and pulled Qing'er to bombard him. Those questions were like they had been in her mouth for a long time, and she didn't stutter when she opened her mouth.
"I also just heard from the person at the door, Miss is all right, as for the rest, I don't know, the letter is from the old man, I can't get it." Qing'er pursed her lips in confusion.
"It's okay, it's okay, I don't blame you, it's better to have news than no news. Knowing that Jin'er is fine, I have a fighting spirit. Pei Shi patted Qing'er's shoulder excitedly.
It was the first time Qing'er had seen Pei Shi so happy, and he was even more excited than when he went out to pick up the ingots by himself.
People who don't know still think it's Fan Jinzhongju, and Qing'er is worried that Pei's family will be angry.
Li Shi didn't care so much about Nalan Jin, she always cared about Pei's thorn in the side.
Seeing that Nalan Bo can also babble and please people, he can also walk around on the ground to make Nalan Zhen happy.
After such a long time, Nalan Wenyuan promised to give birth to a son and let him do the things in the main room.
"Yan'er, do you know what the master has been doing lately?" Lee is dressed in front of the mirror.
"My lord has been going out early and returning late late, and I heard that he is busy with business." Yan'er tidied up the room.
"You keep an eye on it, see when the master will come back, and then tell me." Li combed his hair, feeling that he was much older in the mirror.
"Yes."
Nalan Wenyuan took advantage of Nalan Jin's absence to go to the workshop every day to take care of business according to Nalan Zhen's instructions. After so long of contact, he knew that it was not easy to do business.
Ask him for advice on any question.
"Sir. The stock of this medicine is gone. ”
"Sir. I used the medicine for two days. ”
"Master, can these two medicines be put together?"
A series of questions crackled like hail towards Nalan Wenyuan
。 His mind was a mess, and he couldn't find the one to unravel.
After Su Yan finished treating all the patients, he drank a little wine and looked at Nalan Wenyuan, like a small spinning top constantly spinning around on the ground.
In the face of the problems raised by everyone, he was vague and never gave an accurate solution.
"You don't even know the medicinal materials, you just ask, why are you here, still holding your master's shelf, and there are no outsiders here, who are you doing it for?" Su Yan couldn't get used to Nalan asking for that arrogant look, so he opened his mouth to be sarcastic.
"Shut up, you only know what you know all day drinking. I'm in the middle of a strategy. If it's so easy for someone to guess what you think, how can I do business? "Nalan Wenyuan is a cooked duck with rotten mouths.
is obviously ignorant, but he refuses to ask shamelessly, which turns the originally difficult problem into an incurable disease.
Su Yan just looked at Nalan Wenyuan's appearance and sneered, and let Hou continue to drink.
After Nalan Jin and Dongfang Yi left Mocheng, what they wanted was to hurry back home and sleep on their soft bed for three days and three nights.
However, when they sat in the camel caravan and went farther and farther, they hesitated.
They can say that they got nothing out of this trip. Aside from the life-and-death situation and dealing with horse thieves, the other purpose of their initial business was not fulfilled at all.
For Nalan Jin, who is unwilling, it is simply stimulating.
"It's better to ......"
"Or ......"
Dongfang Yi and Nalan Jin are husband and wife, and the two of them even speak in unison, and they don't even change their tone.
Nalan Jin looked at Dongfang Yi and suddenly smiled, how long had it been since the two of them looked at each other like this, and there was only each other in their eyes.
"You speak first." Dongfang Yi looked at Nalan Jin politely.
"Are we really going back?" Nalan Jin watched the long camel caravan move forward and suddenly asked.
"Yes, you've been through so much along the way, don't you want to go back?" Dongfang Yi looked at Nalan Jin curiously, worried that she would have other ideas.
"I mean, our first women came out to do business and found business opportunities, but we have been out for so long, except for some thrilling things, we don't seem to have found anything related to business."
Nalan Jin frowned and saw a pair of businessman-looking people passing by not far away. Envy and jealousy in my heart.
"What do you mean, do we want to stay in Meaux? It doesn't seem like there's anything to be found here, and it's just a waste of time to stay. A trace of worry and fear flashed across Dongfang Yi's face.
Dongfang Yi has palpitations, if he still stays in Mocheng, he will not look up and see him when he looks up and sees him outside Liu Yuan, and sooner or later it will lead to trouble.
"Well, then, we'll follow the caravan ahead, and we'll go wherever he goes. We pick up
It's up to them to decide what to do. What do you think? Nalan Jin raised his finger to the caravan passing not far away.
Dongfang Yi glanced back. There were not many people in the caravan, but they carried a lot of large goods, and they looked like veterans of business.
"Isn't that a bit too hasty? We didn't even know where they were going, so we kept up with them. In case of another horse thief robbery or something, we really don't have that good luck. Dongfang Yi looked at Nalan Jin worriedly.
In fact, Dongfang Yi's worries still have some reason. After all, life is not familiar, and no one knows whether the hearts of people across the belly are red or black.
"I think it's okay, I've been through so much and I'm still a little sure. I'm sure they must be serious businessmen. And my gut tells me that following them will be very rewarding. ”
Nalan Jin, you seem to be sure of your instincts, and she never fights uncertain battles.
"This ...... We've been out for so long, are you sure grandpa won't be worried? Shall we eat back and say hello before we come out.? Dongfang Yi is still a little worried.
"I've already written to my grandfather to report that I'm safe, so you can rest assured." Nalan Jin patted his chest and reassured.
