“Uncle Xing, you’re here!” Chu Ziluo happily reached out to pull Chu Xing in.

Chu Xing was smiling brightly. He took out a round fan from an ordinary cloth bag on the mule cart behind him and gave it to Chu Ziluo.

“Ziluo, take a look. Do you like it? I’m giving you this delicate fan. There’s a pearl embedded in the handle. I heard that women like white stones the most. This fan is also famous for its double-sided embroidery.” Chu Xing explained excitedly to Chu Ziluo.

Chu Ziluo’s curiosity was piqued. “Uncle Xing, you’re amazing. Pearls! They’re so pretty. I like them very much.”

“I was lucky. I went to a county town further away and met a merchant from overseas. I exchanged seven or eight pearls from him at a low price. If I bought them from a shop, the price would have been several times higher.”

Speaking of this, Chu Xing was obviously very happy. This time, he got a big advantage. It was also because the foreigner had taken a fancy to the tea leaves he brought over. Otherwise, he would not have been able to exchange them.

“Mother, come and see.”

Ye Muyu heard the sound and walked over slowly. She saw the mule cart parked behind Chu Xing with a few packages on it. Only then did she realize that he had come straight to her house after returning and had not had the time to go home yet.

“Ah Xing, come in and rest for a while. If you have anything to say, say it slowly. As for Fifth Aunt, I’ll call Nenya to tell her that you’re safe.”

“Then…Then I won’t stand on ceremony. Actually, Sister-in-law, I have something to discuss with you and Brother Heng.” Chu Xing scratched his head and felt a little embarrassed. However, when he thought of the business opportunity he had discovered this time, he was more excited than hesitant. When Nenya heard Ye Muyu’s words, she ran towards the fifth branch. She was very clever.

The mule cart was not brought in. Chu Xing directly brought a few bags into the central room.

Madam Hu went to make tea first, then carried some grass to feed the mule.

“Sit down, have some tea, and talk slowly.” Ye Muyu also took a sip of tea. It was the hottest time of summer. Even though Ye Muyu’s body was not as strong, she would sweat even if she worked a little.

Not to mention a young man like Chu Xing, he was definitely feeling the heat even more.

Chu Xing did not stand on ceremony. He picked up the tea and took a sip. Realizing that it was winter melon tea, he quickly finished the cup and wiped his mouth in satisfaction.

“Sister-in-law, I’m sorry to trouble you again.” Chu Xing put down his teacup and saw Ye Muyu sitting patiently beside him.

He did not delay any longer and slowly told them about the journey that took him three days to complete.

Chu Ziluo sat on the stool at the bottom of the hall, resting her chin on her hand as she listened.

“This time, I drove the mule cart straight past the two neighboring counties and arrived at Lushui County, which has the largest dock.”

“The water transport in Lushui County is much more than ours. The dock alone is as big as our Nanchang County. Foreign businessmen disembark from the ships all the time. I’ve even seen many foreigners.”

“Here, sister-in-law, these are the pearls I exchanged for tea leaves from that foreigner. Look, they’re so beautiful.”

Chu Xing reached out from a bundle and took out a wooden box. There was a rough carving of a magpie on the wooden box, and when it was opened, there were seven eye-catching pearls.

Each pearl was round and smooth, sparkling and translucent. Ye Muyu had seen many jewelry in her previous life. She could tell at a glance that although these pearls were not very big, they were of good quality. “How many tea leaves did you exchange for this?” Ye Muyu asked..
