"Miss, shall we enter the capital?" Jiang Dong looked at the fork in front of him and asked.

"No, take the road on the left and go to Dengzhou, and you can save hundreds of miles." Jiang Xinyue's eyes glanced at the official road on the right, and not far away was the pavilion where they had rested, recalling the situation of that day, and only felt like a dream.

She had already put an end to her relationship with Xiao Qiye in her heart, and also returned his jade pendant, but in her heart, there was still a glimmer of hope. She wanted to see Xiao Qiye suddenly appear in front of her and tell her that the palace was not important, and the prince was not important, and he just wanted to be with her. Then, she will also give up all her choices to be with him, even if there are thousands of difficulties and dangers ahead, she will never back down, but she is still disappointed after all.

"Miss, are you really not going to Beijing? We can replenish the supplies, and also, the silver tickets we brought are not needed in Mobei, and they have to be exchanged for silver, and Dengzhou is afraid that there is no such a big silver number. Jiang Dong knows Jiang Xinyue's thoughts, but she is not a person who does not distinguish between public and private.

Jiang Xinyue said: "It's the first time we went to Mobei to do business, and it's still difficult to predict what the future will be. I plan to exchange some cash when I arrive in Dengzhou, and familiarize myself with the local situation first, in order to establish a reliable cooperative relationship, and then seek the next step. What kind of business to do, how much money is invested, and what the direction is, you must first have an overall plan. What's more, the wealth is not exposed, Dengzhou is not better than Qingzhou, it is better to be cautious. ”

Jiang Dong suddenly realized, and admired Jiang Xinyue even more in his heart.

Jiang Xinyue looked at Jiang Dong's face and knew what he was thinking. said bluntly: "Jiang Dong, the matter between me and Xiao Qiye has passed, and there is no need to mention it in the future." I don't regret anything I've done for him, it's just that I have nothing to do with him. Ever since my father died, I have forced myself to grow into a man. It wasn't until I met him that I remembered that I was also a woman, and I used to just want to marry him, but I was destined to have no chance to marry, so I could only be a businessman for the rest of my life. ”

Jiang Xinyue said, a bitter smile on the corner of her mouth.

"Miss," Jiang Dong felt sad in his heart, but he didn't know how to comfort her.

"Jiang Dong, your young lady doesn't need sympathy!" Jiang Xinyue grabbed the horse's belly and rushed to the front.

Dengzhou is a big city on the northwest border, although it is not as prosperous as Qingzhou, but because it is located in the border fortress, it is a place where goods are distributed from all directions, and the market is very prosperous, with rows of shops and a tide of people.

Jiang Xinyue came to Dengzhou's largest money village, exchanged silver taels, and the group looked all the way along the most lively street in the city, the goods in Mobei are still mainly leather goods, plus all kinds of spices, mutton fat jade, gems, the price is much more expensive than what she heard last time at the border station, if the profit is meager in Dengzhou, if you want to make a profit, you will inevitably go deep into Mobei. She remembered the sand thieves she had met last time, and she hesitated.

"This young lady, you see, these goods are all of the highest quality, the price is fair, don't you bring some back to the Central Plains?" The guy in the store said politely.

"Man, where did you get your goods from?" Jiang Xinyue carefully looked at the bear skin in her hand, the pitch-black fur was glowing, warm and thick to the touch, and it was top-grade at first glance. The price is five hundred taels of silver. She remembered that when she was at the inn, the better goods in the hands of the merchants were only sold for two or three hundred taels of silver.

The shopkeeper stepped forward and took the bear skin back with a smile. "This young lady, you don't want to buy goods, it's not good to inquire about our source of goods."

"I'm sorry." Jiang Xinyue put down the bear skin and went to the next store, browsing through other goods, and the general situation was similar.

"Miss, let's find an inn to stay in first, and you should take a rest while you're in a hurry. I took a few brothers to go around the city to find a reliable merchant in Mobei and see if I could follow them to Mobei. Jiang Dong looked at Jiang Xinyue's tired expression and felt a little distressed.

"It's okay, I don't show up, and you guys are better off talking to the merchants." Jiang Xinyue nodded, should she change into men's clothes?

"Brother Dong, what do you say our young lady is doing? The family already has tens of thousands of family fortunes, and she has to come to this bitter cold place to endure hardships, how much money does she want to earn? The dowry I saved for myself, I'm afraid that marrying the emperor is enough, right? Jiang Cheng, the Jiang family's guard, shook his head.

Jiang Dong thought to himself, didn't he almost marry a prince?

"Brother Dong, what's going on with our young lady and the prince of Nanqing? Aren't you going to get married? Why did Miss come to Mobei again? The other guard asked.

Jiang Dong stood still, his face solemn. "Is Miss good to us?"

"That's good, of course!" The two said in unison.

"Then don't ask too much, just listen to her."

"Brother Dong, we also care about Miss, we don't mean anything else."

"I know, but there are some things we shouldn't know, so don't ask, understand?" Jiang Dong's face sank.

"Understand, let's listen to Brother Dong, don't ask around." The two looked at Jiang Dong's face and hurriedly expressed their position.

Several people inquired about the place where the goods were traded, and rushed over.

Before entering the market, a commotion came to the face, Daxia official dialect, Mobei dialect, everyone shouted hard, selling the goods in their hands.

Jiang Dong and the others walked around the market a few times, except for the businessmen who were dancing with their eyebrows, Jiang Dong found that there were two Mobei men in the corner, who seemed to be a father and son.

My father is about forty years old, with a dark face and rough facial features, and he can only speak Mobei dialect. The boy was sixteen or seventeen years old, and he was very handsome, and he looked a little out of place in a group of rough traders. Except for the occasional selling, more often they just guard the goods in front of them, watching everyone with their eyes open.

Jiang Dong stood in front of them.

The young man asked with a hopeful face, "What do you want to buy, this guest?" ”
