234. Human Hearts Are Priceless

After the two of them finished laughing and joking, Lu Mingfei asked Zhao Lang about serious matters, "Have you seen those account books?"

"Don't worry about those things. Take a look at this first." Zhao Lang pulled Lu Jieyuan back and took out a pair of jade pendants from his arms to show Lu Jieyuan. He then hung one of the jade pendants on Lu Jieyuan's belt and said, "It looks pretty good."

"This is mine, can you help me put it on?" He handed the remaining one in his hand to Lu Jieyuan.

"Where did you get this jade pendant?" Lu Mingfei looked at the extra jade pendant on his waist, took the jade pendant from Zhao Lang's hand and took a look at it, "This jade looks pretty good."

Even someone who doesn't know much about jade knows that these two pieces of jade are good.

"I just passed by the Treasure Pavilion and went in to take a look. If you like the things there, I will take you there next time." Zhao Lang still remembered what the housekeeper reminded him when he went out just now, so he asked the coachman to turn a corner and go to the Treasure Pavilion to buy things.

When he saw that Lu Jieyuan liked the gift he gave him, he knew that he had made the right decision.

As Lu Mingfei lowered his head to help Zhao Lang hang the jade on his belt, he casually asked, "How much silver did you spend on these two jade pendants?"

"...Good jade is priceless." For some reason, when Zhao Lang met Lu Jieyuan's gaze, he suddenly felt a little hesitant to tell him the price of the two pieces of jade.

"How much silver did it cost?" Lu Mingfei looked at someone seriously.

"Five..." Zhao Lang wanted to just make a random offer.

The two had known each other since childhood. When Zhao Lang moved his mouth, Lu Mingfei knew what he was going to say. "How much is it?"

"You'd better think carefully before you answer me. My trust in you has been built up through the two of us spending so many years together, but it only takes a moment for you to make my trust in you collapse." This was also a warning.

Lu Mingfei didn't want Zhao Lang to develop the bad habit of lying to him.

"...Five hundred taels each, a pair is exactly one thousand taels." Zhao Lang had no choice but to answer honestly. After he finished speaking, he looked at Lu Jieyuan with an innocent face.

"..." Lu Mingfei endured it again and again and finally refrained from beating up the man in front of him.

In the end, he still held back and didn't attack Prince Zhao. He just calmly asked this young master who was not interested in worldly affairs, "Do you know how much rice costs per pound at the grain store now?"

"How much does pork cost per pound? How much silver is a bolt of cloth? How many bolts of cloth does a weaver have to weave to save up a thousand taels of silver?"

"How much grain and pork can you buy with one thousand taels of silver?"

"Then do you know how much a soldier fighting on the front lines earns in a month?"

"Zhao Lang, it's not that I don't want you to spend money, but I hope that when you spend this kind of money, you will think carefully about whether it is worth spending." Lu Mingfei picked up the jade pendant on his waist and took a look. "Of course I like the gift you gave me. But if you give me other gifts, as long as your heart is there, the price of the money is not important. All I want is your thought."

"Compared to jade, the human heart is the most priceless thing. Do you understand what I mean?"

"Okay, I understand." Zhao Lang nodded, understanding what Lu Jieyuan meant. He also understood that when giving a gift to someone, the more expensive it is, the better. It all depends on the intention.

He recalled his childhood, when he saw his mother receive gifts sent by his father, the smile on her face was only fleeting, and then she had the gifts put away and put away, never to be seen again. However, his father treated his concubines far better than his mother, and loved his eldest son far more than his legitimate son.

Human hearts are priceless things. That's how it is.

"Actually, you gave me a very good gift a long time ago." Lu Mingfei pulled out the chain around his neck. There were two things hanging on the rope. One was the jade pendant that Zhao Lang gave him for the first time, and the other was a small jade flute, which was also a gift from Zhao Lang.

"You're wearing them all?" Zhao Lang obviously recognized the things he had given away. He just didn't expect Lu Mingfei to wear the jade he had given her so long ago.

"Yes, I keep everything you give me." Lu Mingfei pulled the jade from his neck and touched it, then told Zhao Lang, "This was the first gift you gave me, and I've been wearing it all the time. This piece of jade has a very special meaning to me."

"And this flute. You can blow it when you're in danger."

After hearing Lu Mingfei's words, Zhao Lang felt a surge in his heart. He felt that the gift he gave was cherished by the person he loved, just like the love he gave was cherished by the person he loved.

Is it love?

Zhao Lang stared at the young man in front of him. He felt his heart pounding. At this moment, he was extremely sure of one thing, that is, he loved the person in front of him, and it was not just a simple liking!

"Why are you looking at me like that? Are you stupid?" Lu Mingfei saw Zhao Lang staring at him without blinking. He tapped his chin with his finger. The next moment, he was picked up and spun around.

“!!!”

"Hey, put me down! You're making me dizzy!"

"Haha, Lu Mingfei, you're so nice!"

Lu Mingfei didn't know why this person suddenly got so excited. Feeling Zhao Lang's happiness, he couldn't help but laugh along.

The next moment, Zhao Lang dropped him to the ground. Before he could even stand firmly on his feet, one hand was around his waist, and the other hand was around his neck, pulling him forward. Before he could even react, his mouth was blocked again.

This kiss was different from any of their previous kisses. It was filled with overwhelming passion and intense love, making it impossible to resist, and making one want to sink into it together...

only……

After a while, Lu Mingfei felt that he would have difficulty breathing if Zhao Lang didn't let him go. He raised his hand and patted Zhao Lang's shoulders twice, "Mmm!" Stop!

After sensing the boy's anxiety, Zhao Lang had to open his mouth.

After he opened his mouth, he couldn't help laughing when he saw the flushed boy breathing in and out in big gulps. He pinched Lu Jieyuan's nose and asked, "Little fool, are you breathing through your mouth?"

“!!!” Lu Mingfei slapped Zhao Lang’s hand away and glared at the man.

Zhao Lang was not angry at being glared at, but smiled instead. He moved closer to Lu Jieyuan, nuzzled his nose against his, and kissed him on the lips before asking, "You are so proficient in studying, how come you can't learn anything like this?"

"...If I were proficient in this kind of thing, wouldn't you have other ideas?" Lu Mingfei pushed away the handsome face that came close to him. Don't keep using this decent face to seduce him. He won't... be fooled...

"You're right." Zhao Lang thought about it, nodded seriously, and then stared at Lu Jieyuan with a pair of bright eyes, "Then let's practice again? Maybe after practicing a few more times, you will learn it." He felt that Lu Jieyuan was so smart, there must be nothing he couldn't learn or master!

Seeing Zhao Lang coming up to hug him again, Lu Mingfei quickly grabbed the man's hand and said, "Don't mess around!"

"I didn't ask you to come here today to do this to me!"

"Lu Jieyuan, you are so knowledgeable..."

"Stop, stop, stop, stop talking nonsense to me!"

As soon as this person opened his mouth, Lu Mingfei knew what he was going to say to him. What did his knowledge have to do with whether he could kiss or flirt with others? This bastard always used his knowledge to tease him!

As a result, he can't even look at the words "well-educated"!

"Puchi..." Zhao Lang turned his face away and couldn't help laughing, his shoulders shaking with laughter.

"Sit here, I want to talk to you about something serious." Lu Mingfei pulled Zhao Lang to sit on the chair where he usually sat to study, and pulled another chair to sit next to him. He took the account books on the table and asked, "Have you read these account books you sent over?"

"I took a quick look through it." He threw the account book in Lu Mingfei's hand back onto the table.

"..." Lu Mingfei, "So you know there's something wrong with these account books?"

"Yeah." Zhao Lang nodded. He was not a fool. How could he not know that there was something wrong with the account books sent to him?

"So you don't plan to deal with it? Or do you want me to help you deal with it?" Otherwise, Lu Mingfei couldn't understand why Zhao Lang asked someone to send him all the deeds to the fields and shops, as well as these account books.

Zhao Lang rubbed his nose when he heard this, not daring to say that the family's money and the affairs of the harem were all handed over to his wife. He knew that if he dared to say such a thing, Lu Jieyuan would probably not want to see him for half a month, so he said vaguely: "I just want to hand over all the family's money to you."

Lu Mingfei thought about it and it made sense. If he was allowed to manage Zhao Lang's purse, he would be able to control the amount of money this man spent in the future. At least he would not let Zhao Lang spend a fortune on a pair of jade pendants that were not enough for food or drink.

He also has a big box here, which is a gift Zhao Lang gave him in the past. He doesn't know how much money Zhao Lang spent to buy these things for him.

Before, they were just friends, so he naturally couldn't control how she spent her money. But now, their relationship had evolved from friends to lovers. If there were no problems in their relationship, they might stay together forever.

Therefore, managing someone's purse also means controlling their family's financial expenditure.

"If you give your money to me to manage for you, I will control your spending in the future. I will never allow something like spending one thousand taels of silver to buy an ornament that is not suitable for eating or drinking. You have to think carefully before you give your own purse to me to manage for you." Lu Mingfei said the ugly words in advance to avoid someone having objections if he did not allow them to spend money in the future.

"...Okay." Although he hesitated for a moment, Zhao Lang still resolutely handed the family's money to "Madam" to manage. Author's words: Thank you Bole 9492239 (9492239) for your support, mua! To know more exciting content, please leave me a message on Liancheng Reading
