"Who are you? Why did you come to our village?"
The little girl at the head shouted in stiff elegant language.
Her skin is slightly dark, her facial features are slightly flat, her feet are bare, and she wears some silver jewelry that makes jingling sounds when she moves a little bit.
The little girl is not old, but she is very calm.
Just by looking at her aura and appearance, you can tell that she is the leader of this group of people.
Gu Qingcheng remained calm and put the horizontal sword in his hand back into the scabbard.
"I'm Gu Qing!"
Gu Qingcheng spoke concisely and directly explained his identity.
She was testing to see if this foreign girl who could speak the elegant language of the Southern Dynasties had really seen the world.
"Gu? You, are you from Luozhou Gu's Wubao family?"
Not to mention, this little girl really knows.
She even knew, "The Gu family of Wu County? That famous noble family?"
Gu Qingcheng smiled. This little girl should have read books and received the cultural education of the Celestial Dynasty.
"Don't dare! I am indeed from the Gu family in Wu County! Dare you give the little girl your last name?"
Gu Qingcheng asked politely.
Gu Qingcheng is a true noblewoman of aristocratic family. She will not look down on the "weak" at will because of her background, knowledge, etc.
For example, in ancient times, many noble people who claimed to be orthodox looked down on the uncivilized barbarians.
I always feel that the other person is a savage, similar to a monkey in the mountains.
But Gu Qingcheng doesn’t!
She is already noble enough and has been at the top. She does not need to improve herself by putting others down.
In her eyes, everyone in the world is her people!
The Han people are!
So are the so-called barbarians such as slang people and Liao people!
Gu Qingcheng is completely in the mentality of a superior.
Later, she bound the system and entered various worlds.
Gu Qingcheng came into contact with the idea of 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 agree with the culture and ideas of China, you are one of our own!
"My name is Liming Zhu, and I am the daughter of the leader of Libu!"
Liming Zhu felt Gu Qingcheng's kindness, and she was very surprised.
As the daughter of a tribal leader, Liming Zhu not only saw the world, she also went to the official school in the state capital.
In the words of the governor of Luozhou, this is called "enlightenment."
To be honest, Liming Zhu didn't like the word enlightenment, as if he and his tribe were inferior.
However, in official school, Liming Zhu did learn a lot.
She learned the elegant language (Mandarin) of the Southern Dynasties, and also learned the beautiful and gorgeous Fu. She also knew that in the distant capital, there was wealth and prosperity that she could not imagine.
Fresh clothes and angry horses! Aristocratic family style!
Liming Zhu longed for Jiankang and experienced the so-called wealthy town for herself.
It's a pity that her mother-in-law is ill and the Li tribe cannot be without a leader.
As the next leader, Liming Zhu cannot abandon his own village!
Li Bu? The leader?
Gu Qingcheng knew that some mountain tribes still maintained the tradition of matrilineal clans.
That is, the woman is the leader!
Perhaps this is one of the reasons why some scholar-officials despise the barbarians - the world is upside down! Chicken Sichen! I don’t know etiquette!
But Gu Qingcheng liked it very much!
What happened to the woman?
As long as you have outstanding abilities, you can be a leader, or even——
"It turns out to be the pearl of the Li family!"
Gu Qingcheng smiled brightly and had a very kind attitude.
Her appearance has been systematically improved, and her appearance has reached 77 points.
This is a value that goes beyond being pretty.
Coupled with his young age and good temperament, Gu Qingcheng is just a dazzling little beauty.
Liming Zhu couldn't help but her eyes lit up: What a beautiful person with a gorgeous temperament
The little noble daughter of a noble family.
In addition to appearance and temperament, what made Liming Zhu happy was Gu Qingcheng's attitude towards her.
There is no condescension like the people of the Celestial Dynasty, nor is there the arrogance and contempt that comes from status and knowledge.
In Gu Qingcheng's body, Liming Zhu felt an aura called "equality".
This makes Liming Zhu very satisfied.
She doesn't need respect, fear, etc. from strangers, she just wants to be treated as an equal.
They are slang people, not monkeys in the mountains, they are all human beings like the people at the bottom of the mountain!
Moreover, the little noble girl not only treated her as an equal, but also praised her.
The jewel of the Li family!
Hee hee, yes, when A Niang named her, she just thought she was a pearl in their Li tribe.
Liming Pearl is her name, and it is also the expectation of her mother and her tribe.
Now, the four "pearls of the Li family" came out of this little noble girl's mouth, and she inexplicably felt that she was respected!
"You are also the pearl of the Gu family!"
Liming Zhu has the straightforwardness and simplicity of a mountain person!
When she was praised, she would not say "praise, praise, praise" humbly like other little girls.
Liming Zhu accepted the compliment calmly and said politely: Hey, you're not bad either.
Gu Qingcheng smiled again. She liked such a frank little girl.
After some pleasantries, the two little girls, who were three or four years apart in age, actually became friends.
Liming Zhu said, "This wild sugar cane forest has always been owned by our Li tribe!"
However, the Li tribe itself did not obey the management of the Luozhou government, and their land was not included in the government's fish scale register.
Li’s interests are not protected by the government!
Of course, Li Bu does not need official protection.
They themselves are young and strong, and have enough force to protect their homeland!
Gu Qingcheng: ...No wonder the government only asked her to take away this forest for a hundred dollars.
The co-authorship of the government is "generous to others"!
Well, according to the law, the governor of Luozhou is not a deceitful person.
This mountain forest is indeed a "barren mountain".
However, the reality is that the so-called ownerless things are actually territories occupied by the Li tribe for hundreds of years.
Even if the government sells it to others, others can't take it away!
Li Bu's swords and arrows are not vegetarian.
In addition, Li Bu lives in the mountains all year round, dealing with snakes, insects, rats, and ants all day long.
The witch doctors of their tribe developed many snake venoms and insect venoms according to local conditions.
As long as people feel that the tribe is offended, they will directly prevent the virus!
Gu Qingcheng couldn't help but suspect that these man-made poisonous gases might also be classified as "miasma"!
"However, since you spent money, we can't let you suffer!"
"Well, you can harvest this sugar cane forest, but this forest still belongs to our Li tribe!"
Liming Zhu had a very good impression of Gu Qingcheng. After listening to Gu Qingcheng's explanation, she knew that she had been deceived by the government and felt somewhat sympathetic.
She thought for a moment and waved her hand generously, indicating that she would not let Gu Qingcheng go away empty-handed.
Gu Qingcheng felt more and more that Liming Zhu was a very cute girl.
"Thank you! However, since this mountain forest is Libe's territory, I can't let you suffer!"
"I have some use for these sugar canes, so I'll buy them at the market price, okay?"
Gu Qingcheng is open and bright, and Liming Zhu also feels that Gu Qingcheng is friendly.
"Okay! Then I won't refuse!"
"Of course, brothers will settle the score! Even if they are friends, we cannot let our friends suffer!"
"You, you consider me a friend?"
"We are friends, aren't we? Otherwise, how could Sister Li be so generous to me?"
"Ah? You, you call me sister?" You don't think I'm a barbarian.
Despicable?
"Yes! I think my sister is a few years older than me, so I have to call you sister!"
"...I-I am twelve years old this year, what about you?"
"Aqing is nine years old!"
"Haha! Yes! Yes! I am indeed older than you! Gu, sister of the Gu family!"
Liming Zhu was flattered and at a loss by Gu Qingcheng's enthusiasm.
In fact, Dawn Pearl is also the darling daughter of heaven.
If Gu Qingcheng looked down on her as a barbarian because she was a noble daughter of a noble family, Liming Zhu would not be used to it.
Humph, they all grew up with high status and being held in the palm of their hands. Who is worse than the other?
She, Liming Zhu, is still the future leader of the Li tribe!
Than arrogance?
She will never lose!
However, Gu Qingcheng did not despise her, but sincerely wanted to make friends with her.
Liming Zhu's heart seems to have been soaked in a hot spring, moist and warm, it's called a comfortable ironing post!
The most important thing is, that "Aqing" still calls her Ajie!
Sister, hey!
Hee hee, even a noble lady from aristocratic family like A Qing regards her as her elder sister.
Liming Zhu only felt that the Gu Qingcheng in front of her was the cutest and most considerate sister in the world!
Huoshui: ...I'll just take a look, I won't say anything!
Alas, poor Liming Zhu, what a simple, innocent and silly child.
Where has she seen such a sinister and sweet-tongued boss like Gu Qingcheng?
Gu Qingcheng can even handle the old fox in the court.
Not to mention a little mountain girl like Liming Zhu, whose eyes are full of clarity and stupidity.
Tsk tsk, he didn't say too many words, just "Sister", he deceived Ming Mingzhu into nowhere.
If Gu Qingcheng didn't still have some conscience, this stupid girl Li Baozhu could have given up the entire mountain forest!
"It's really not necessary! Sister, I told you that brothers will settle the score! You treat me like a sister, and I can't let you suffer!"
"Also, I still need a lot of sugar cane. If sister really wants to help me, then please pay more attention to me!"
"In the future, if your people have free time, they can also help me plant sugar cane."
When Gu Qingcheng faced the enthusiastic Liming Zhu, he was a little utilitarian and a little more sincere.
She does want to use Libe, but this "use" itself is also a win-win situation.
If you get sugar cane, you can get copper coins, salt, cloth and other daily necessities.
In addition, Li Bu of Liming Pearl is a common knowledge of Gu Qingcheng.
If she succeeds, she can manage all the people in Lingnan such as Li people, Hu people and other mountain people.
This will also be a powerful help for her!
"Okay! Then I'll listen to you!"
"By the way, we don't want money, I want salt."
Liming Zhu is definitely not stupid and will not give up her own interests just because of a few nice words from a stranger.
She calls her "Amei", but in her heart she still remembers the supplies that the village needs most.
"Okay! I'll give you the best fine salt!"
Since Gu Qingcheng wanted to win over Li Bu, he would not be confused about trivial matters.
Not only did she give Dawn Pearl the salt she needed most, but she also gave her the best quality refined sea salt...
