a reward for any of us who’ve found where you are.”

“So you’re here to claim the reward?”

He waved his hand, “Do I seem like that kind of person? But why are you avoiding your dad?”

Lu Junming sighed, “I don’t want to take the imperial examination and become a scholar, nor do I want to bring glory to the family.”

After that, he followed up with, “Don’t waste time, let’s eat first.
I have business to conduct.”

As he ordered food, Lu Junming finally introduced him to Mo Yan, “This is my good friend Chi Jie.
Despite his appearance, he isn’t a bad person.”

“Then why did you avoid those two chubby women from before? Who are those?”

Chi Jie replied, “Those are probably his sisters.”

Lu Junming didn’t look anything like his sisters, and Mo Yan couldn’t help but giggle.
When he asked what she was laughing about, she replied, “Your sisters look very funny.”

After lunch, they went rushing to inspect their goods.
Chi Jie wanted to follow, but he was persuaded not to after a lot of convincing by Lu Junming.
Mo Yan asked, “Why don’t you want to take the imperial examination? Cao Zhang left his hometown to study because of it!”

“I don’t want to bring glory to my family, because I don’t consider my father’s official wife my mother.”

When they were walking, they saw Zhong Cheng walk out of a grain store.

Mo Yan said happily, “Brother Cheng, you’ve arrived early.
Have you already sold all your goods?”

“Almost.
Since this is the first time we’re selling grains to these people, we didn’t take too many grains.
The fields nearby didn’t have a good harvest this year due to a flood, and we’re offering high-quality and fresh grains, which are in high demand.
I’ve talked to the manager, and we’ll be exporting more grains next time.
How about on your end?”

“We haven’t started yet!”

“Then good luck! Let’s get the goods and return early, so your sister won’t be worried.”

Lu Junming told Zhong Cheng they’d meet up at the Changsheng Inn at the south of the city, before going to arrange the imports with Mo Yan.

They bought the lotus roots and seeds from where Lu Junming bought them last time, so the transaction went very smoothly.

Afterwards, they went to the dried goods store, which was the same one Lu Junming’s sisters had been at.

All of the goods were delicious and exquisite.
Mo Yan tried a few goods, and they tasted excellent, especially the beef jerky.

After checking the price, they found out it wasn’t very expensive and bought a few items, to be picked up in the morning of the next day.

Finally, they went to look at the fabrics, which was Mo Yan’s aim of this trip.
Lu Junming said he knew the location of a fabric shop with quality products and reasonable prices.
However, he didn’t buy any because he didn’t know anything about colours and patterns.

On the way, they saw an embroidery shop called Hongling Embroideries.
She took a look at them, and he asked, “Do you want to take a look?”

“It’s fine, I’m not buying embroideries anyways.”

“This shop also sells clothes,” he said before leading her in.

A thirty-something woman in red clothing greeted them as she came over.
She first looked at Lu Junming, who nodded towards Mo Yan.
Then, she shifted her attention to her.

“What clothes would you like to buy?”

Despite saying she wasn’t looking to buy anything, Mo Yan’s eyes wandered around the store.
Lu Junming said, “It’s fine to browse even if you’re not buying.”

The woman said, “The clothes are here, please look freely.”

Mo Yan liked blue, and a blue dress caught her attention.
It had good craftsmanship and was made of a high-quality material, so it went without question it wouldn’t be cheap.

Lu Junming shot a look at the woman, who told someone to prepare tea.
When it was ready, he told Mo Yan to come over for tea.

Post-translation notes: Yeah, I have nothing to add this time.
