The villain and traitor is my brother

Chapter 63: Coaxing Pei Yuanqi

The kid next to him came over to look at it and said, "Your stone is beautiful. If you sell it to Uncle Wang, you can get it for two cents."

As soon as she spoke, Zheng Qiuyun realized that it was a girl.Her hair was dry and frizzy, and her face was dirty.Zheng Qiuyun asked her, "What's your name?"

The child was very defensive, "What are you doing?"

"I think you're cute and I want to know your name."

The child smiled, showing his white teeth, "Li Mingzhu."

Zheng Qiuyun asked her again: "How did you know that someone was collecting jade? Have you ever sold it?"

"I have sold them. They are all here to dig for fun. I am not the one who sells everything I dig to Uncle Wang."

Under Zheng Qiuyun's inducement, Li Mingzhu took her to find Uncle Wang.It was the house deepest in the alley. Li Mingzhu knocked on the door familiarly, "Uncle Wang, there is a girl who wants to sell jade."

The courtyard door opened, and a middle-aged man came out with a hearty voice, "Little Mingzhu, don't you want to wash your face?"

Li Mingzhu rubbed her face and said, "I dig stones there every day, what can I do with it? Uncle Wang, look at her stone, can you sell it for two cents?"

Uncle Wang's face showed embarrassment, so he could only tell the truth, "Little Mingzhu, this jade is worthless. If it weren't for the fact that you don't have a parent, I wouldn't accept it at all."

Zheng Qiuyun saw the lonely look on Li Mingzhu's face, "Thank you, Uncle Wang."

Coming out of the alley, Li Mingzhu murmured: "I thought this stone was pretty and asked the jade dealers in the city if anyone would take it. Only Uncle Wang wanted it. I thought I had found the treasure, but I didn't expect Uncle Wang. Taking care of me."

Zheng Qiuyun pursed his lips, "Where are your parents?"

"Last winter, a man came to the village to steal things and beat my parents to death. I was hiding under the bed. When my parents were lying on the ground, they looked at me and told me to keep quiet."

She thought to herself and said, "I heard that the imperial court sent a powerful general this time to beat the crap out of him. It's great."

Zheng Qiuyun asked her softly: "Will you continue to dig jade in the future?"

Li Mingzhu hesitated: "I don't know. Maybe I will dig it up, but I won't sell it to Uncle Wang. I have grown up and cannot be taken care of by others all the time."

Zheng Qiuyun asked her to look at his bracelet, "Look, I like green stones like this very much. If you find them, you can sell them to me."

Li Mingzhu didn't believe it, "Do you really like it?"

"real."

Zheng Qiuyun left her the address, and then she went to find the powerful general Li Mingzhu talked about.Pei Yuanqi was still training troops in the military camp, and Zheng Qiuyun was waiting for him outside the camp.

There was a sound of horse hoofbeats from far away, and Pei Yuanqi was seen wearing golden light armor, with a metal tiger head on his shoulders.As the horse gallops, the red shirt rises behind him.He flew off his horse and asked with high spirits, "Why is the girl here?"

Zheng Qiuyun deliberately joked: "Let's see the powerful General Pei."

"Girl, you are joking." After hearing the captain's report, Pei Yuanqi hurried over without changing his clothes, which were stained with sweat and dust from military training. "Girl, please wait a moment, I will change my clothes and come." "

After a while, Pei Yuanqi was dressed in regular clothes and stood side by side with Zheng Qiuyun on the shore.

Zheng Qiuyun said: "I walked around Qingzhou today and made two discoveries."

She saw that Pei Yuanqi was listening carefully, but she couldn't relate to the way he looked in his armor just now.Zheng Qiuyun took out a handful of wheat seeds and said, "This is wheat. Plant it in September. The yield per mu can reach more than [-] kilograms."

Pei Yuanqi was surprised: "You can actually harvest twice as much grain as you can?"

Zheng Qiuyun added: "However, this kind of seed is expensive and the people of Qingzhou cannot afford it." Pei Yuanqi knew what Zheng Qiuyun meant, "The national treasury is empty, and the court does not have much money."

He said with a consultative tone, "Can I use my private treasury?"

Zheng Qiuyun did not expect that Pei Yuanqi had a private treasury, and from what he said, he had a lot of money.Also, if Pei Yuanqi had no money, he would not give her gold ingots as soon as they met.

"You can use it if you want, without asking me."

Pei Yuanqi thought she was angry, "Don't worry, it's just like you, lending it to the people, and you will have to pay it back later."

Zheng Qiuyun said: "That's your money, not mine, so I have nothing to worry about. However, I have another discovery."

Zheng Qiuyun raised her hand. A string of green bracelets lined her hand as white as jade, "This is made of jade from Huangming County, Qingzhou. Isn't it beautiful?"

Pei Yuanqi moved his wrist and gently turned his cinnabar bracelet, feeling that the two bracelets matched well.He said sincerely: "It looks good."

Zheng Qiuyun blinked, "Although the national treasury is empty, there is still no shortage of silver in the capital. You ask Li Siping to think of a way to sell this jade, which will cover the cost of the seeds."

Pei Yuanqi agreed, "I'll let him find a way."

Zheng Qiuyun was still not used to carrying things on his hands, so he took off the bracelet and gave it to Pei Yuanqi, "Give this to Li Siping too."

Pei Yuanqi's face suddenly turned cold, "Why give it to him?"

Before Zheng Qiuyun could explain, he heard Pei Yuanqi say in a deep tone: "Girls are used to giving bracelets to others."

Zheng Qiuyun didn't know what was wrong with him, "I either gave it to him or let him see what the jade in Qingzhou looks like."

She turned on her horse and saw Pei Yuanqi standing there holding the bracelet. He smiled and said, "I have only given you the bracelet, and you are the only one. If you don't want to give it to him, I will give this bracelet to you too. Find him some more jade from Qingzhou."

Pei Yuanqi looked at Zheng Qiuyun with a serious expression: "I don't want to give it to him."

As he spoke, he put the bracelet on his other hand.Now he has a cat-eye green bracelet on his left hand and a cinnabar red bracelet on his right hand.

Zheng Qiuyun wanted to coax Pei Yuanqi, so she sat on the horse and stretched out her hand, "General Pei, are you free? The scenery in Huangming County is very beautiful. Can I take you for a tour?"

When Zheng Qiuyun raised his riding whip, Pei Yuanqi nestled on her shoulder and said, "Slow down, girl."

The horse raised its hooves and ran forward. Pei Yuanqi wrapped his arms around Zheng Qiuyun's waist.He had already put his hand up, and then explained: "I didn't want to hug the girl, but the speed was too fast, and Yuan Qi was afraid."

Zheng Qiuyun said nonchalantly: "Then you have to hold on tighter, don't fall down."

Passing between two mountains and arriving at Huangming County, Pei Yuanqi was also shocked by the beautiful scenery in front of him.

Zheng Qiuyun galloped his horse across the clear river water on the bank, and his horse's hoofs made splashes of water.Pei Yuanqi was a head taller than Zheng Qiuyun when he was sitting on the horse. He hugged Zheng Qiuyun. He no longer looked angry just now and was smiling.Zheng Qiuyun thought to himself that he was quite easy to coax.

Until some people recognized Pei Yuanqi and called him general.Only then did Pei Yuanqi let go of his hand as if he was frightened, took the reins from Zheng Qiuyun's hand, and turned to respond to the people.

Zheng Qiuyun nestled in Pei Yuanqi's arms and couldn't help laughing: "General Pei, what's wrong?"

Pei Yuanqi's ears were slightly red, "Girl, after running around for a day, your body is tired, it's time for Yuan Qi to ride the horse."
