Chapter 427: Gift Exchange
Liu Yan was naturally happy that she didn't have to marry someone from Mobei.
But she had her own ideas in mind.
She knew that Liu Ze had a way to deal with the scholar, but seeing how deeply in love Miss Yun was with him, she was afraid that if she dealt with the scholar rashly, it would cause unnecessary trouble.
If the scholar himself changed his mind, then Liu Ze could take advantage of the situation.
Why not achieve your goal successfully and win the heart of a beautiful woman at the same time?
But why should she be a tool in Liu Ze's hands? If she could get the formula of Liuli, she would be the one who would make a contribution to the family.
When the time comes, grandpa will consider her contribution and send someone else to Mobei.
As for Yanagisawa...
She narrowed her eyes.
On the rest of the journey, the Liu siblings were intentionally or unintentionally accommodating Ji Yunshu.
For example, when she asked to take a break, the other party would immediately agree and even send her water and food, because they were worried that since it was her first time in Mobei, she would lack experience and preparation.
Ji Yunshu enjoyed the flattery of the brother and sister with peace of mind, as if that was how they should treat her.
Seeing her behavior, the Liu brothers and sisters became even more certain that she came from a good family.
Ji Yunshu muttered to Zhao Shen when no one was around: "This isn't right, is this how Young Master Liu loves his sister?"
If only Liu Yan approached her, she could still understand.
After all, the other party might want her to replace her and marry to Mobei.
But it was abnormal that Liu Ze was getting closer to her intentionally or unintentionally.
Zhao Shen naturally also noticed the look Liu Ze gave Ji Yunshu, and he knew very well what that look meant.
Listening to Ji Yunshu's words, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and he reminded her, "It's also possible that he has a crush on you?"
Ji Yunshu's attention was always on Liu Yan, and he didn't pay any attention to Liu Ze at all, so of course he didn't think about this possibility.
After all, the Liu family is a famous family. Even if the Liu Ze branch is not the direct lineage, its background is not bad. It's not like he has never seen a woman. Is it necessary to be like this?
Her relationship with Zhao Shen was clear and obvious. Regardless of whether they were married or not, she was not someone a young master could covet.
She said angrily, "He is the son of the Liu family after all. How can he be so dirty in private?"
Zhao Shen smiled and said, "If he knew you were General Ji's daughter, he wouldn't dare to have such thoughts. But if you were just an ordinary rich girl and you eloped with someone, he wouldn't have to worry about it."
Ji Yunshu also knew that this was the truth and glared at Zhao Shen: "What a lousy story you made up. It makes people look down on me for no reason."
Zhao Shen held her in his arms and apologized softly: "I didn't think it through."
Prince Zhao's tone was very sincere, so Ji Yunshu naturally wouldn't get angry about such a thing, not to mention that she had agreed to it herself.
She can even be a singer, so naturally she doesn't care about the eloped lady.
Perhaps to play the role of a sweet and affectionate eloping couple, Zhao Shen and Ji Yunshu stick together almost all day long, eating and living together, just like a real couple.
Liu Yan didn't want to offend Ji Yunshu from the beginning, so she didn't dare to act rashly.
After walking for a few days, Liu Ze became impatient when he saw that Liu Yan had not made any movement.
Ji Yunshu is the one he likes, how can she look like hanging out with other men in front of him all day long?
On this day, the caravan stopped at a tribe to rest and exchanged some daily necessities with the people in the tribe.
Although the items Ji Yunshu brought this time were all luxury goods that only nobles liked, he also brought things that ordinary herdsmen liked, such as salt and tea.
Ji Yunshu directly exchanged furs and medicinal herbs with them.
Knowing that the tribal chief's daughter Saihan was about to get married and wanted a piece of red cloth for her wedding dress, she took the initiative to give her a piece of red brocade cloth.
The little girl's cheeks flushed with joy. She said in her not-so-fluent Daxia dialect, "This is too expensive. How much does it cost?"
Ji Yunshu said, "As long as you like it, it's a gift from me. You don't need to pay for it."
Liu Yan was a connoisseur of value. When she saw the cloth, she knew it was a fashionable material in the capital. It was very valuable, and even she had never worn it, but Ji Yunshu gave it away without blinking an eye.
Her heart tightened, and she felt that she might have underestimated Ji Yunshu's identity.
As she was pondering this, Saihan said, "You are so kind. I will give you a horse as a return gift."
After saying that, she pulled Ji Yunshu out and ran to a stable. She asked Ji Yunshu to wait for her for a while, and then she went in and led out a chestnut horse with a thin head, a high neck, and a well-proportioned body.
Saihan touched the horse's metallic mane tenderly and said, "I raised it since it was a child. I'm giving it to you."
Ji Yunshu didn't know much about horses, but seeing that the horse had long limbs and a beautiful body, he thought it must be a good horse, so he accepted it with a smile.
Saihan smiled sincerely and brightly: "Then we will be friends from now on."
Ji Yunshu was also very happy to have gained a friend for no apparent reason. When he returned to his residence, he showed off his new horse to Zhao Shen: "This horse looks more beautiful than the one we rode."
In order not to reveal their identities, the horses they rode were all bought from the market. Although they were not bad, they were not top-notch horses.
Zhao Shen took a look at the chestnut horse she brought back and couldn't help but smile: "You have good taste. This is a real Ferghana horse."
Ji Yunshu was surprised: "Is there really a Ferghana horse in this world?"
She had only heard of this horse in modern times and thought it was just a legend.
Zhao Shen said: "Of course there are, but we can't raise them well over there, so they are extremely rare."
Ji Yunshu originally thought that the brocade horse she gave to Saihan was also made of good material, and exchanging it for a horse could be considered a normal gift exchange.
But after hearing what Zhao Shen said, he knew he had gotten a great deal, so he said, "Saihan is getting married, how about I give her some more jewelry?"
Zhao Shen shook his head and said, "The herdsmen of Mobei are simple and honest. They only exchanged gifts with you because they consider you a friend. It's inappropriate for you to ask for more. You can find a way to make it up to her later."
Ji Yunshu thought about it and said with some regret: "It's a pity that we are not real businessmen. We may not come here again in the future."
She quite likes this environment and simple folk customs.
Zhao Shen said, "It's okay to come here for a visit. You might not be able to bear it if you carry it here all day long, with the summer heat, the winter cold, and the spring sand."
Ji Yunshu thought about it and it made sense. The news that she had obtained a Ferghana horse soon reached the ears of the Liu brothers and sisters.
As a man, Liu Ze naturally likes good horses. Moreover, they travel between Daxia and Mobei for many years and know the importance of a good horse.
If you encounter an emergency, it can even save your life.
After finding out that the tribe only wanted the Ferghana horse that Saihan had picked up from outside, he couldn't help but ask Liu Yan, "When are you going to make your move?"
As long as there are no people in the way, he can take advantage of the opportunity and win the beauty.
By then, both the BMW and the glass formula will be his.
Liu Ze couldn't wait any longer.
