Chapter 396: The Pearl of the Li Family
"Who are you? Why did you come to our stockade?"
The little girl at the head shouted in blunt words.
She has slightly dark skin, slightly flat features, bare feet, and some silver jewelry on her body, which makes a tinkling sound when she moves.
The little girl is not very old, but she is very calm.
Just by looking at her momentum and dress, you know that she is the head of this group.
Gu Qingcheng remained silent and put the horizontal knife in his hand back into the scabbard.
"I'm Gu Qing!"
Gu Qingcheng was concise and to the point, directly explaining his identity.
She was tempting to see if this alien girl who could speak the elegant dialect of the Southern Dynasty had really seen the world.
"Gu? You—You're the one from Gu's Fort in Luozhou?"
Not to mention, this little girl really knows.
She even knew, "Wu Jun Gu? That famous warrior?"
Gu Qingcheng smiled, this little girl should have read books and received the cultural education of the Celestial Empire.
"Don't dare! I am indeed from the Gu clan of Wu County! Dare to be a little girl's surname?"
Gu Qingcheng asked politely.
Gu Tingcheng is a real noble daughter of a family, and she will not despise the "weak" at will because of her background, knowledge, etc.
For example, in ancient times, many nobles who claimed to be orthodox looked down on those uncivilized barbarians.
I always feel that the other party is a wild man, similar to a monkey in the mountains.
Gu Qingcheng won't!
She was noble enough, and she had been at the top, and she didn't need to improve herself by belittling others.
In her eyes, all the people of the world are her people!
Han people are!
The so-called barbarians such as slang and wingmen are too!
Gu Tingcheng is completely in the state of mind of the superior.
Then, she bound the system and entered the various worlds.
Gu Qingcheng came into contact with the idea of great unification in later generations, and she became more and more determined in this idea.
As long as you live in this land, as long as you identify with the culture and ideas of the Celestial Empire, you are your own people!
"My name is Li Mingzhu, and I am the daughter of the head of Li!"
Li Mingzhu felt Gu Qingcheng's kindness, and she was very surprised.
As the daughter of the tribal leader, Li Mingzhu has not only seen the world, but also once went to the official school of the state capital to study.
In the words of the Naju Thorn History, this is called "edification".
To be honest, Li Mingzhu doesn't like the word edification, as if he and his people are inferior.
However, in the official school, Li Mingzhu did learn a lot.
She learned the Yayan (official dialect) of the Southern Dynasty, and also learned those beautiful and gorgeous Fu, and also knew that in the distant capital, there was a wealth and prosperity that she could not imagine.
Fresh clothes and angry horses! The family is romantic!
Li Mingzhu yearns for it and wants to go to Jiankang and experience the so-called rich township for himself.
It's a pity that her aunt is sick, and Li Bu can't be without a head.
As the next leader, Li Mingzhu can't give up his cottage!
Lebe? Headman?
Gu Qingcheng knew that some tribes in the mountains still maintained the tradition of matrilineal clans.
That is, the woman is the head!
Perhaps, this is also one of the reasons why some scholars despise barbarians - the world is reversed! A woman takes control! I don't know what is righteous!
Gu Tingcheng likes it very much!
What happened to the woman?
As long as you have outstanding ability, you can be a leader, and even-
"It turned out to be the pearl of the Li family!"
Gu Qingcheng smiled lightly and had a very kind attitude.
Her appearance, after systematic improvement, has reached 77 points.
This is a value that surpasses Qingxiu.
Coupled with her young age and good temperament, Gu Tingcheng is like a dazzling little beauty.
Li Mingzhu couldn't help but shine in front of her: she has a beautiful appearance and a gorgeous temperament
The little lady of the family.
In addition to her appearance and temperament, what made Li Mingzhu happy was Gu Qingcheng's attitude towards her.
There is no condescension of the people of the Celestial Empire, nor is there the arrogance and contempt that comes from identity and knowledge.
In Gu Tingcheng's body, Li Mingzhu felt an aura called "equality".
This made Li Mingzhu very satisfied.
She doesn't need the respect, fear, etc. of strangers, she just wants to be treated as an equal.
They are slang, not monkeys in the mountains, they are all human beings like the people under the mountains!
Moreover, the little noble girl not only treated her equally, but also praised her.
The pearl of the Li family!
Hehe, yes, when A-Niang named her, she just thought she was a pearl of their Li Department.
Li Mingzhu is her name, and it is also the expectation of A-Niang and the clansmen for her.
Now, the four "Pearl of the Li Family" spit out from the mouth of this little noblewoman, and she inexplicably feels that she is respected!
"You are also the pearl of the Gu family!"
Li Mingzhu has the straightforwardness and simplicity of the mountain people!
She has been praised by others, and she will not be as humble as other little girls to say "false praise".
Li Mingzhu calmly accepted the other party's praise and politely said: Hey, you're not bad.
Gu Qingcheng smiled again, she liked such a frank little girl.
After some greetings, the two little girls, who were three or four years apart, became friends.
Li Mingzhu said, "This wild sugarcane forest has always belonged to us!"
However, the Lê tribe itself did not obey the administration of the Naju government, and their land was not on the government's fish scale book.
The interests of the Li Ministry are not protected by the government!
Of course, the Lebanese do not need the protection of the government.
They themselves are young and strong, and they have enough force to protect their homeland!
Gu Tingcheng: ...... No wonder the government only needed a hundred yuan to let her take this mountain forest.
Co-authoring the government is "generous to others"!
Well, if it is according to the law, the history of the Luozhou assassin is not a pit person.
This mountain forest is indeed a "barren mountain".
However, the reality is that the so-called ownerless things are actually the territory occupied by the people of Li for hundreds of years.
Even if the government sells it to someone else, no one else can take it!
Libe's sword and arrow are not vegetarian.
In addition, Li Bu lives in the mountains all year round and deals with snakes, insects, rats and ants all day long.
The witch doctors of their tribe have developed many snake venoms and insect venoms according to local conditions.
As long as people feel that the tribe is offended, it is directly anti-virus!
Gu Qingcheng couldn't help but suspect that these man-made poisonous gases might also be classified as "miasma"!
"However, since you have spent the money, we can't let you suffer!"
"That's it, this sugarcane forest, you can harvest it, but this mountain forest still belongs to our Libu!"
Li Mingzhu has a very good impression of Gu Tingcheng, and after listening to Gu Tingcheng's explanation, she knows that she was deceived by the government, and she has some sympathy.
She thought about it and waved her hand generously, saying that she would not let Gu Qingcheng return empty-handed.
Gu Tingcheng felt more and more that Li Mingzhu was a very cute girl.
"Thank you! However, since this mountain forest is the territory of Libu, I can't let you suffer!"
"These sugarcanes, I have some use, so I'll buy them at the market price, okay?"
Gu Tingcheng is bright, and Li Mingzhu also feels that Gu Tingcheng can be handed over.
"Good! Then I won't refuse!"
"Of course, my brother will settle the score! Even if it's a friend, you can't let your friend suffer!"
"Y-you treat me as a friend?"
"We're friends, aren't we? Otherwise, how could Sister Li be so generous to me?"
"Huh? You, you call me sister?" Don't think I'm a barbarian, rough
Despicable?
"Yes! I think my sister should be a few years older than me, so I want to call you Sister!"
「…… I—I'm twelve years old, and what about you—you?"
"Ah Qing is nine years old!"
"Haha! Right! Right, right! I do be older than you! Gu, Gu family's sister!"
Li Mingzhu was a little flattered and at a loss by Gu Qingcheng's enthusiasm.
In fact, Li Mingzhu is also a lady of the sky.
If Gu Qingcheng relied on herself as a noble daughter of a family and looked down on her as a barbarian, Li Mingzhu would not be used to it.
Hmph, they are all gold and jade, and they were raised in the palm of their hands, who is worse than whom?
She Li Mingzhu is still the future head of Libu!
Prouder than proud?
She's not going to lose!
However, Gu Tingcheng did not despise her, but sincerely wanted to make friends with her.
Li Mingzhu's heart is like soaking in a hot spring, moist and warm, that is called a comfortable ironing!
The most important thing is that "Ah Qing" also called her sister!
Sister!
Hehe, even a noble girl like Aqing treats her as a sister.
Li Mingzhu only felt that Gu Qingcheng in front of her was the cutest and most intimate sister in the world!
Scourge Waters: ...... I'll just look, I don't speak!
Alas, poor Li Mingzhu, what a simple, naïve stupid child.
Where has she seen a black-hearted and sweet-mouthed guy like Gu Tingcheng?
Even the old fox in the court, Gu Qingcheng can cook clearly.
Not to mention a little girl in the mountains like Li Mingzhu, whose eyes are full of clarity and stupidity.
Tsk, I didn't say much, just a "sister", and I fooled Li Mingzhu so much that I couldn't find the north.
If it weren't for Gu Tingcheng's little conscience, Li Baozhu, a stupid girl, would be able to give up the entire mountain and forest!
"Not really! Sister, I said it, my brother settles the account! You treat me as a sister, and I can't let you suffer!"
"Also, I still need a lot of sugar cane, if my sister really wants to help me, then help me pay more attention!"
"In the future, if your people have free time, they can also help me plant sugar cane."
Gu Qingcheng faced the enthusiastic Li Mingzhu, with some utilitarian hearts and a little more sincerity.
She does want to take advantage of Li Bu, but this "utilization" itself is also a win-win situation.
When he got sugar cane, he was able to get copper coins, salt, cloth, and other necessities.
In addition, Li Mingzhu's Li Department is Gu Qingcheng's common sense.
If she succeeds, she can manage all the slang, fangren and other mountain people in Lingnan.
This will also be a strong help for her!
"Alright! Then I'll listen to you!"
"By the way, we don't want money, I want salt."
Li Mingzhu is by no means really stupid and sweet, and he will not give up his own interests because of a stranger's three or two nice words.
called Ah Mei on his lips, but he still remembered the materials that the cottage needed most.
"Yes! I'll give you the best fine salt!"
Since Gu Tingcheng wanted to rein in Li Bu, he naturally wouldn't be confused in trivial matters.
She not only gave Li Mingzhu the salt she needed most, but also the best quality refined sea salt......
