Chapter 46: Extending an Olive Branch



"A Jing doesn't know the girl's name or identity yet."

Her mind was working rapidly, and although she did not directly answer Jiang Qingqing's question, her question did have a surge of meaning.

Jiang Qingqing, who had been lowering her head, raised her head. The sunlight refracted through the window fell squarely on her face, making her skin look white and flawless.

"You have to think clearly. Knowing my identity and status, you will be completely trapped in a hopeless situation with no way out."

It was a light sentence, but it carried a warning tone.

Ah Jing, who had been pretending to be calm, could no longer maintain his composure.

Then I saw a pretty girl with a look of shock on her face. She opened her eyes slightly and looked at the five-year-old girl in front of her.

"you……"

"You don't have to be too nervous." Jiang Qingqing saw her sense of urgency and waved her hand. "This is not an unequal transaction between us. Listen to me talk about my bargaining chips first, and then decide whether to cooperate with me."

"It's not unfair between you and me. You have what I need, and I naturally have what you need."

The milky voice had a more steady tone, and it began to seem a little out of place.

But Ajing was no longer shocked by the voice. Instead, he was shocked and in a state of rapid self-judgment about Jiang Qingqing as a whole.

"Please speak, young lady." A Jing pondered for a while and spoke in a daze.

Jiang Qingqing's smile deepened a little. She stretched out her little hand, blocked the stimulating light in front of her eyes with her fair palm, and narrowed her almond-shaped eyes slightly.

"It's simple. I need you to have an identity that allows you to come and go freely. If you can pass my assessment test, the construction of the dam village, your grandparents, and the elderly, weak, and disabled people in the village will be well protected. I will let them enjoy their old age or grow up safely."

When this condition was put forward, Ajing was deeply moved.

Jiang Qingqing curled her lips and smiled, "Remember, there is a prerequisite. If you fail the assessment, our cooperation will end."

"Since the girl said it's a fair deal, you put forward your requirements and conditions, and Ajing can also put forward his own, right?" Ajing said softly.

Jiang Qingqing still raised her hand to block the stimulating light in front of her eyes, but nodded slightly in response to her words.

A Jing clenched her hands nervously. She seemed calm on the surface, but her slightly trembling voice clearly revealed her emotions.

"A Jing only has two conditions. One is that the dam village be rebuilt, and the other is that A Jing wants a stable and steady salary."

After these words were spoken, Jiang Qingqing was still pondering whether he could meet her requirements at this stage.

After hearing what Ajing said, she felt that she was worrying too much.

This A Jing is even more simple than she imagined.

"I can give you a stable salary. If you are capable of becoming my man, your monthly salary will be more than half of a string of copper coins. How about that?"

On the way to Fanlou and to the side courtyard, Jiang Qingqing carefully observed these people's trading methods and copper coin expenditures, and roughly figured out the proportion of copper coins. She calmly offered such conditions.

Suddenly, the room fell into silence.

A Jing was constantly balancing and pondering in his mind whether this transaction was stable.

"What if Ajing can't complete the task you gave him?" she asked tentatively.

Jiang Qingqing chuckled, tilted her head slightly, looked at the newly-married Ah Jing in front of her, and said, "It's simple. We didn't have any contact before."

There was no other condition for paying, and Ajing's heart was filled with emotion.

There was another moment of silence on this topic.

A Jing clenched his fists again and again.

Jiang Qingqing felt that the sunlight was too glaring in this position, and she was about to lean sideways to avoid the sun.

Suddenly, the scene in front of my eyes darkened.

She saw that Ajing's thin body blocked the dazzling light in front of her eyes, and she could only see Ajing's blurry silhouette.

And, her affirmative and determined voice.

"A Jing is willing to try."

In the suddenly comfortable atmosphere, Jiang Qingqing finally suppressed the smile in her eyes, and she carefully looked at the thin A Jing in front of her. After Mo Yue was silent for a long time, she slowly spoke.

"I chose you because you have something shining and bright. You should know that even if you embark on this path, you may become rich, but it may not necessarily be peaceful."

"Ajing has thought it through. Rather than doing embroidery for the sake of her grandparents' later years, Ajing is more willing to try something bold that people normally wouldn't dare to think about. One reason is to be brave enough for herself, and the other is to repay the gratitude of the person who saved her life."

Ajing was a smart girl. Although she was in a mess on the street, she couldn't imagine what would have happened to her if the little girl in front of her hadn't said a few words to the tall man to stop.

Just for the sake of his savior, Ajing was willing to give it a try.

Jiang Qingqing raised the end of her eyebrows in surprise. She could see that Ajing was a smart and thoughtful person, but she didn't expect that she was thinking so happily.

She couldn't help but become curious about Ajing's identity in Ba Village.

"Since you have become someone close to me, you can no longer use the name A Jing in front of me. You cannot reveal the cooperative relationship between the two of us to outsiders, including the man who is with me. Do you understand what I mean?"

Jiang Qingqing thought about it and took out half a piece of silver from the sachet. This was the silver that Xin Juan had stuffed into her before she left the palace because she was worried about her.

Ajing nodded without saying anything. Seeing her savior stretch out his hand, she quickly took it and found a piece of silver in her palm.

"In the future, you will call yourself Yanluo. This half ingot of silver is for you to use to prepare for this assessment."

Jiang Qingqing carefully talked to Ah Jing... now she should be called Yanluo. She carefully told Yanluo what she was going to do in this assessment.

Yan Luo lowered his brows and memorized these words in his heart.

Just as she carefully put the change into her arms, someone knocked gently on the door.

Then, Xiao Linting's deep voice was heard, "Qingqing."

Jiang Qingqing's eyebrows raised in surprise. She turned her head to look towards the door, feeling a little surprised.

Before, even in this situation, the emperor's uncle had never called her name so directly.

Yan Luo quickly distanced herself from Jiang Qingqing. She kept the instructions and cooperation conditions in mind, and even sat back on the bed after thinking about it.

Jiang Qingqing was a little surprised when she saw Yan Luo's well-behaved appearance, but apart from the surprise, she walked to the door and opened it.

When she opened the door, she saw the emperor's uncle standing at the door with a calm expression. The wind happened to be blowing outside, and her robe was blown by the wind. The young man looked at her deeply with his black eyes.
