The chubby man with a broad face chuckled.
"I heard it from those scholars too!"
In the descriptions exchanged among the three, Qi Yue further understood their identities.
The bearded man and the others were indeed escorts, but they specifically escorted goods for the Liu Family.
Plainly speaking, they were essentially people of the Liu Family.
The chubby man's aunt was even the personal maid of Old Madam Liu, having served by her side for many years.
In the Liu Family, she held some sway and knew many big and small matters.
It turned out that the Liu Family was not only exceptionally talented in business but also highly educated.
While all professions were inferior to scholarship, business was the most despised by scholars.
Yet, the Liu Family excelled in both to the utmost.
The Liu Family's business was not only widespread but its members also dominated Nanyue's literary world, greatly revered by scholars.
