Common Folk of the Marketplace, the Myriad Faces of Life

After hearing Ye Sanqi's words, Han Kang understood what he meant.

"Good!"

"I'll leave at once!"

"Just accept the caravan."

He did not dare linger. After bidding Ye Sanqi farewell, he left. Nor did he hope that a few carriages alone could mend his relationship with Verdant Green Maiden.

He even felt that from this day onward, the Han Family and Verdant Green Maiden might have no relationship left to speak of.

Still, no matter what, the note Verdant Green Maiden had left behind had done the Han Family a favor. He ought to repay it.

The caravan set out.

Ye Sanqi directly hired a large boat.

The large boat made several trips, ferrying the entire caravan to the north bank of the Yangtze River.

Ye Sanqi had originally prepared a separate Carriage for Verdant Green Maiden.

However, Verdant Green Maiden wanted to ride a horse.

Ye Sanqi could not very well oppose her request, so he gave her the finest horse in the caravan.

Verdant Green Maiden and Ye Sanqi rode side by side at the very front.

The official road heading north was crowded with travelers. Caravans could be seen from time to time, though most belonged to Bianjing or Jiangnan. Caravans like Ye Sanqi's, traveling all the way north directly from Lingnan, were truly rather rare.

"How much can you make on this trip to Bianjing?"

"If we can load up with a worthwhile haul for the return trip, probably several hundred strings of cash."

Verdant Green Maiden nodded slightly at that.

Not bad!

Earning several hundred taels of silver—even after dividing it among everyone in the caravan—would
