Again, Chen San asked from the side, “Lady Nan, what do you think? Right, because our business association wants to maintain a uniform style on the street. We will also help you make a sign, and when the time es, you can just move your goods over and open your shop directly. Look at these shops of ours, there is living space upstairs, and a yard at the back for things like carriages and cooking. If you are in need of acmodation, you can stay here temporarily. It will save you from house hunting. Isn’t it very convenient?”
“…”
And that was how Nan Feng’s shop in the provincial city was settled.
After that, she hired a carriage and went for a ride around the provincial city.
She originally planned to tour the entire city, but it was simply too large. It would take one day to tour the entire county by carriage, whereas in the provincial city, it would probably take three days. There were just so many streets and lanes, within which was everything you could think of selling.
There were segmented areas, which were divided based on class, similar to modern villa areas, general residential areas, slums, etcetera.
Luckily, Nan Feng had a great sense of direction, or else she might have gotten lost.
Because this place was too large, Nan Feng had the driver take the carriage towards the place where the provincial officials usually went to work.
Nan Feng thought, perhaps she could meet Brother Ye there.
However, the province’s office area was too large. It was full of mansions everywhere, each of which had a different function. Trying to find Brother Ye here was nearly impossible.
Nan Feng had to go back to the county first.
…
However, the trip to the Provincial City seemed to be bumpy.
While moving the goods to the dock, one of Spikenard Square’s workers accidentally bumped into a dock worker who was pushing a handcart. The injured worker could no longer acpany Nan Feng to the provincial city, so she sent him home.
Being short of one person didn’t make much of a difference. At most, she too would have to help carry the goods.
However, recalling the moment when the worker was hit, she felt that something was off.
At that time, she was directing the move. She heard the sound of the handcart ing in her direction, but halfway through, she heard the worker scream. It’s possible the worker just happened to be walking behind her then.
When she thought about this, her heart skipped a beat.
“Lady Nan!” Someone was calling her from not far away.
Nan Feng looked in the direction of the voice.
Among the bustling crowd, a figure dressed in white stood by the railing not too far away. Although the weather was no longer that cold, he was still wearing a fur cloak.
“Mr. Long?” Nan Feng hailed and Mr. Long slowly walked toward her.
“Going to the county?” Mr. Long asked, a faint smile playing around his lips, still looking very refined.
“No, I am going to the provincial city. I’ve taken up a mercial stand there,” Nan Feng replied, as her eyes caught sight of a figure slipping onto another ship.
The dock was bustling with people ing and going. Normally, Nan Feng wouldn’t have paid much attention, but that person glanced at her after boarding the ship.
The keen senses she had developed at the Special Agent School made her feel a sense of danger from that person’s glance.
“Lady Nan, what are you looking at?” Mr. Long asked, noticing the sudden alertness in her eyes.
Without pointing at the ship, Nan Feng directly asked Mr. Long, “I feel someone is targeting me. Don’t look back now. Wait a bit and then look, to avoid alarming them. Do you know what that ship next to me is for?”
