PNB Chapter 142 Cleaning up
Chapter 142 Cleaning up
After arriving home, Wen Luozhi packed a lot of things and put them on the table. "Take these with you when you leave tonight, they'll all be useful," she said to Helian Yue.
Inside were some items she redeemed in the system when she came back yesterday; the packaging had been changed so you couldn't tell anything was wrong.
Helian Yue felt as sweet as honey as he looked at the large and small bags of things. The last time he felt this way was when his mother went to war.
He stopped what he was doing, looked at her who was still busy, and said, "Luo Luo, you don't need to take it anymore. Go get some sleep."
Those damn people disturbed her rest while she was in town, so she needs to rest properly when she gets home.
Wen Luozhi ignored him, packed a lot more snacks that little kids like, and then patted the incredibly well-behaved Helian Zhiyan beside her, saying, "Take these snacks with your brother. If he wants any on the way, just ask him for them."
Helian Zhiyan nodded obediently, her eyes sparkling as she watched the interaction between the two.
She never expected her brother to be so amazing, that he could actually be with Sister Luo Zhi!
I wonder what Luo Zhi saw in him?
She thought for a moment and decided that even if it was just to look at her brother's face, that would be fine too.
Seeing how well-behaved and obedient she was, Wen Luozhi felt a little reluctant to part with her. She had thought that the little girl would cry and make a scene when she found out she was leaving tonight.
She's truly fearless, like a newborn calf! Look at her excited and expectant face, just like when she went on her first trip...
It was a farewell meal; the whole family returned from town early to help with the preparations.
Gu Yunqi kept chattering away, and Helian Yue felt that he had gone too easy on him when they went out at noon. Jun Qianzi also covered her ears because of his noise.
He bought two horses in town to make a carriage and put all the things he had prepared for the three of them on it. In a small brocade box, he also put the things for Helian Zhiyan to disguise himself.
As dusk fell, Helian Yue and Wen Luozhi were about to go out. Wen Zi'an wanted to follow, but Xie He glared at him and said, "What are you going to do with them?!"
Wen Zi'an craned his neck, watching the two figures walk further and further away, and said anxiously, "Mother! How could you let my sister go out with a man?"
Besides, it's almost dark!
Xie He slapped him on the head. "He's just going outside for a bit, he'll be right back, why are you so concerned?!"
I told my daughter she'd be back in the time it takes to drink a bowl of porridge before she went out, otherwise she wouldn't have let them go out.
She was worried that her daughter would suffer a loss!
When they reached the large tree in front of the courtyard, Helian Yue took a piece of paper from his sleeve and handed it to Wen Luozhi. "Luo Luo, this is what I'm giving you."
His eyes were smiling, and his voice was as soft as a gentle breeze, which was very pleasant to listen to.
Wen Luozhi found it a bit strange. A piece of paper?
She took it and realized that the "paper" seemed a bit thick, more like a parchment scroll.
When you open it, you see dense markings on it, which, when gathered together, look like a small mountain.
Just as she was about to ask, puzzled, Helian Yue patted her head and said, "This is a mine. There are gems in the marked areas."
"Just like the jewel on the wrist blade I gave Lolo."
Wen Luozhi took a deep breath, unable to believe it. Her fingers tightened around the parchment scroll, and she asked, "This...this is yours?"
There are so many marked areas, there must be so many gems! I'm rich!
Her eyes lit up, and Helian Yue found her greedy look amusing, then said, "What was mine before, is now Luo Luo's."
This mine was a gift from the late emperor when he was still alive, and no one can touch it.
They had mined it several times when the national treasury was depleted. Jun Shuyan had been eyeing this treasure for a very long time, but he didn't dare to make a move openly.
Upon hearing that it was hers, Wen Luozhi quickly clutched the parchment to her chest, looking at him warily. "So this is mine? You can't go back on your word!"
How much silver is this worth?! Putting aside the fear of rebellion, he's richer than the emperor, so why would anyone respect him?
Now it's hers! She won't return it even if we break up! If that doesn't work, she'll just dig some out and put it in the system so she'll never have to worry about food or drink again, hehe.
Suddenly possessing a large amount of silver that she hadn't yet managed to hoard, Wen Luozhi was overjoyed, her smile brightening even more, and her two dimples appearing faintly.
This is truly her favorite thing! She loves money the most! Handsome men have to take a backseat.
"Let's not fight over it, let's go inside."
Helian Yue took her soft little hand and the two walked home side by side.
Wen Zi'an had been sitting on the threshold of the main hall waiting for them. When he saw the two of them come in hand in hand, he pouted unhappily.
He also wanted to hold his sister's hand, just like he did when she was little.
But now that his younger sister has grown up, boys and girls are different, and there's a man who loves and cares for her, so it's not his turn anymore.
Xie He looked at her daughter's smiling face and then at her daughter's worthless appearance, feeling both happy and worried.
But then she remembered what her daughter had said to her in the room, and that put her mind at ease.
Life is but 30,000 days; just live it to the fullest.
Who can predict what will happen in the future? It's fine to take things slowly like this.
Before setting off that evening, Wen Luozhi was so shocked by Helian Zhiyan's appearance that her jaw almost dropped.
The little girl's hair was tied up, and something was applied to her face, making her skin look dark and yellowish.
She showed Wen Luozhi her two front teeth and made a face. The little girl looked like... a naughty boy who rolls around in the fields in the countryside.
Xiao Hu glanced at her, then wrinkled his nose and ran to Mo Li, grabbing his hand. "Xiao Li, Xiao Li, Xiao Yan? We're looking for Xiao Yan."
"Little Tiger, Xiao Yan is already asleep. Shall we go find her tomorrow?"
Mo Li squatted down and gently coaxed him. After spending the past two days together, he still really liked this little brother.
They are very obedient and clever.
Little Tiger nodded obediently, though he looked a little pitiful.
Yang Guilan breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that he wasn't making a fuss. These days, Xiao Hu had been playing with that pretty little girl. He was leaving soon, and if he were seen by her, he would definitely cause a huge scene.
She walked over, bent down, and hugged the little baby. "Let's go to sleep too, Little Tiger. We can play again tomorrow."
She carried the little tiger into the house, and Helian Zhiyan felt a lump in her throat as she looked at the well-behaved little tiger in her arms.
She's having a great time here, and everyone is so kind to her that she's a little reluctant to leave.
Jun Qianzi ruffled her hair and teased, "Who was it that said they'd be a little man from now on? No crying allowed!"
He applied the medicine to her face and her skin tone changed in a short while. Aunt Xie then gave her a little boy's outfit to wear, and the little girl said that she wanted to be a boy when she grew up.
Helian Zhiyan sniffed, a proud look on his face, and said, "Brother Qianqian, don't talk nonsense. A little man doesn't cry."
Jun Qianzi stopped teasing her. After all, she was just a child and couldn't stand being teased. If she cried, Luo Zhi would have to pick up a stool and confront him for making the little girl cry.
