Ma Yaosong wasn't very old, but he'd been to quite a few places. At the age of twelve, he had even been taken outside the border by his uncles. As the future heir of the Ma Family, he had to master the trade routes for horse trading as well as the brokerage business.
This departure from home was different from before. From now on, he would be serving at the side of the Commandery Princess and couldn't return to Biyang County.
"Do you feel like crying?" asked Chen Sheren, riding alongside and turning his head to softly console, "It's normal to feel a bit sad and unsettled when leaving home for the first time. If you want to cry, do it. No one will laugh at you."
Ma Yaosong sniffed, "Some dust got in my eyes just now, so they're a bit red. To serve as a housekeeper by the Commandery Princess's side is a blessing accrued over several lifetimes. Why would I cry?"
Chen Jinyu looked at the stubborn young man but did not mock him.
