Chapter 257 Li Hao's Experience
Chapter 257 Li Hao's Experience
As expected, he thought of it. After all, Qing'er's men's attire was very similar to his.
Gao Yi waved his hand: "How can you be sure that she is your sister?"
Xue Jing immediately said: "When Xue Qing and I met, I felt an indescribable sense of closeness. She said her name was Xue Qing. And the most important thing is that although she was dressed as a man, I knew she was a woman. When she was dressed as a man, she looked at least 50% like me."
Gao Yi stared at Xue Qing, as if wondering, how can such an important thing be confirmed?
"Young Master, first of all, the world is so big, there are so many people who look alike. The fact that you feel close to each other is just because you two look alike. This doesn't mean that she is your sister."
After a pause, he continued, "There is one more very important thing. The eldest lady was found last year. It's just that your family didn't give you a letter while you were in the barracks, so you don't need to look for her anymore. What Xue Qing you said can't be the eldest lady."
Xue Jing was a little bit unbelieving. Was his sister who had been missing for more than ten years really found?
"Guard Gao, is what you said true? Why haven't I received any news at all?" Normally, for such a big thing, Dad would at least write a letter to the two brothers who are away, so why didn't he reveal anything at all?
Gao Yi patted his shoulder and said, "When I left the Duke's Mansion, the eldest lady lived in the Lotus Villa, but there has never been a formal ceremony to recognize her ancestors, so..."
Xue Jing felt unhappy because his sister couldn't formally recognize her ancestral home after returning, and he, her brother, didn't know anything about it.
Seeing that he had forgotten about Qing'er, Gao Yi advised him to go back.
Before giving birth to the original owner, Mrs. Wang already had two sons, both of whom joined the army at the age of 15. Currently, both are in the military camp on the southwestern border.
As for why Xue Jing came to Xinyue, Gao Yi would not ask a single question.
After Xue Jing was fooled by Gao Yi and left, Gao Yi secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
But since that day, Xue Jing would hang around the inn where Xue Qing lived every day. Finally, one day, he waited for Xue Qing to go out and pretended to meet him.
Xue Qing inexplicably had a liking for this man named Xue Jing! When they first met, he seemed gentle and refined, but after getting to know him, he turned out to be a middle school boy who was sometimes silly and cute. The two went shopping together, buying some local specialties, and Xue Qing bought all kinds of vegetables and fruits that were not available in Da Zhou.
One day, Xue Jing finally waited for Xue Qing to go out. He pretended to bump into Xue Qing accidentally and showed a warm smile: "Oh, isn't this Young Master Xue Qing? What a coincidence!"
Xue Qing also liked this big boy very much, and responded with a smile: "Oh, it's Brother Xue Jing. What a coincidence that we meet again. Brother Xue is also staying in the inn nearby?"
Xue Jing laughed: "Yes, not far"
The two went shopping together and bought some local specialties.
Xue Qing took a fancy to some vegetable and fruit seeds that were not available in the Great Zhou Dynasty, and said to Xue Jing: "Look, these seeds are very rare in the Great Zhou Dynasty. I want to take them back and try to grow them. Maybe I can grow some new and exotic vegetables and fruits at home." Xue Jing smiled and nodded, expressing his support: "What a good idea! It turns out that Master Xue likes to grow vegetables."
Xue Jing did not mean to discriminate. He really did not expect that such a handsome man would like to farm. Regardless of whether she was his sister or not, why would a woman go to farm herself!
Xue Qing smiled and said, "Our Great Zhou has a vast territory, but currently vegetables are not very abundant. If we want the people to eat more abundant vegetables, the nutrition needed by the human body will be more balanced, and the people's health will get better and better. Then our Great Zhou will naturally get better and better, with stronger soldiers and horses, and our army will have strong combat effectiveness. That is a blessing for the country!"
After hearing what she said, Xue Jing was stunned for a moment. He felt ashamed that a woman could be so broad-minded.
Xue Jing, who was standing still, looked at Xue Qing who had walked a few steps away, and quickly took two steps to catch up with him: "Brother Xue has a long-term vision and cares about the people and our Great Zhou. If Brother Xue can join the army, he will definitely become a general."
Xue Qing smiled but said nothing. Can women join the army in this era?
There was actually a hint of admiration in Xue Jing's eyes when he looked at Xue Qing. How nice it would be if this was his own sister!
The two chatted along the way, and Xue Qing felt that although this middle school boy was a little naive at times, he was indeed a kind-hearted and sincere person. While shopping, Xue Jing occasionally showed some characteristics of middle school syndrome, such as suddenly making some exaggerated movements, which made Xue Qing laugh.
Jiang Yi followed them from a distance. From her observation, she found that although this man named Xue Jing was very caring towards Qing'er, he was still very careful about his manners.
Although she didn't want Xue Qing and Xue Jing to get too close, she couldn't do it too obviously. After all, Qing'er was her master. Although the relationship between the two was very good, Jiang Yi couldn't forget her identity and mission.
In order to dispel Xue Jing's suspicion, Gao Yi has been secretly following Xue Qing these days. He doesn't want Xue Jing to know that he has a good relationship with Xue Qing.
If Xue Jing knew about it, he wouldn't be able to hide it anymore.
Xue Qing also told him about Li Hao's life experience.
That day, after she, Jiang Yi and Cheng Niu took him to dinner, they asked about Li Hao's background.
"Li Hao, why did you come to Crescent City?" Xue Qing asked him softly.
Li Hao was silent for a while, then slowly said, "Brother Xue, my father has been in very poor health in recent years and has been taking medicine all year round. The weather is particularly cold today, and my father's health is even worse. I have grown up and need to take care of the family, so I thought I could make some money in Xinyue City, so I came here with my fellow villagers."
Xue Qing listened to Li Hao's words and showed an understanding expression, but then asked: "So you said you were cheated by people from the same village, what exactly happened?"
Li Hao smiled bitterly and began to recount how he was cheated: "Everyone in the village knows about my family's difficulties. A man in our village claimed to be doing business in Xinyue City. When he saw that I looked so sad, he took the initiative to ask about my situation. He said he could bring me here to do business and transfer money."
"He said that since we were from the same village, he could lend me some money to leave for my father to buy medicine. I was in a hurry at the time, so I agreed without thinking too much."
Li Hao's tone revealed a hint of regret and helplessness, and he continued, "Then he brought me to Xinyue, saying that it was very easy to make money here, so I said goodbye to my parents and followed him here."
Xue Qing handed him a glass of water. Li Hao took a sip and continued.
