Sure enough, the little girl couldn't help but tell him the truth. Oh my! His little girl really treated him like one of her own! She even told him something as important as spiritual energy.
But what is spiritual energy? Is it really like what's described in those fairy tales? Wen Ziqing looked at the pot of white jade daffodils again and again.
"No? No feeling at all?" Oh, right. The white jade seemed a little more lustrous earlier. How should I put it? Before Zhou Yuanyuan handed it to her, the jade carving still shone with a lustrous luster. Now, the jade carving looked like a fresh plant that had been out of the soil for a while and had lost its moisture. It looked much drier.
Seeing Wen Ziqing remained silent, staring intently at the jade carving, Zhou Yuanyuan quickly bowed her head and admitted her mistake: "Brother Ziqing, I'm sorry! I've taken away the spiritual energy from the jade carving. I shouldn't have offered to return it to you, because I can't."
This pot of white jade daffodils is obviously a precious item. With her "sucking" away its spiritual energy, I wonder if the value of the jade carving will drop. This is a relic left by Brother Ziqing's mother!
"Indeed, its luster is much dimmer than before." After a long time, Wen Ziqing came to this conclusion.
"Brother Ziqing, how about this! When I grow up, I will make a lot of money to compensate you, how about that?" Zhou Yuanyuan originally wanted to buy a pot of white jade narcissus to compensate Wen Ziqing in the future, but then she remembered that this white jade narcissus is not an ordinary commodity. This kind of treasure is usually hard to come by. If she made a promise but couldn't do it, she would be embarrassed.
Zhou Yuanyuan then changed her words and said that she would compensate Wen Ziqing a lot of money.
As for waiting until she grows up to pay it back, of course! With Zhou Yuanyuan's current small body, even if there are ways to make money, there is no way to use them!
"I don't want money, I just want a jade-carved narcissus that is exactly the same and has spirit like this." Wen Ziqing could guess the little girl's excuse and quickly strangled the little girl's luck in the cradle.
"Then... Brother Ziqing, can you tell me how to compensate? It may be impossible to find the same one." Zhou Yuanyuan simply left it alone and let Wen Ziqing ask for compensation herself, rather than letting her guess here. No matter how much she said, it was useless if Wen Ziqing didn't nod.
"This ornament is the betrothal gift my mother left for her daughter-in-law. Without this, it will be difficult for me to find a future wife." Wen Ziqing spoke nonsense seriously.
Huh? What do you mean?
Zhou Yuanyuan felt a little dizzy after hearing what Wen Ziqing said.
"I have a lot of this kind of jade," Wen Ziqing continued to tempt him. That's right! If I just go to the few jade mines I knew about in my previous life and pick up a bunch, wouldn't I have as much as I want?
"Master, there are a lot of them. I want them, I want them. Xiaoyu likes this kind of jade." Before Zhou Yuanyuan could say anything, Xiaoyu in her sea of consciousness heard that Wen Ziqing still had a lot of this white jade and cried out with joy. Xiaoyu had just refined that trace of spiritual energy and it felt great! With this kind of white jade, it was equivalent to having a lot of spiritual energy. As long as Xiaoyu refined all that spiritual energy, wouldn't her strength be...? Xiaoyu's mouth was watering at the thought of the bright prospects.
"Yuanyuan, when you grow up, just compensate me with yourself. It's your betrothal gift anyway." Wen Ziqing's words circled around his lips for a few times, and he finally said it out loud after hardening his heart. Zhao Qingshan was the one who decided the marriage between him and Zhou Yuanyuan. If Zhou Yuanyuan was just a simple six-year-old girl, under the indoctrination of the people around them, she might think that marrying Wen Ziqing was a natural thing when she grew up. However, Wen Ziqing knew that Zhou Yuanyuan was not a real little girl! After Wen Ziqing's observation these days, Zhou Yuanyuan had no idea about their engagement. What if she objects in the future?
With a loud "bang", a loud noise came from downstairs, just covering up Wen Ziqing's words.
"Brother Ziqing, what did you say?" Zhou Yuanyuan was stunned by the loud noise. During this moment, Wen Ziqing's words had already passed through her mind.
"It's settled. This is how we'll do it from now on." Wen Ziqing suppressed his smile. After saying this, he walked to the window and jumped out.
That loud noise just now was clearly an explosion. This was the Qingshan City Party Committee's family compound, and ordinary people couldn't enter. Who had caused this loud noise? Wen Ziqing planned to go and see.
"Hey, hey, you haven't told me what to do yet. How can you say it's settled?" Zhou Yuanyuan looked at the agile figure outside the window and always felt that she seemed to have been tricked.
"Xiaoyu, did you hear what Brother Ziqing said just now?" Zhou Yuanyuan didn't hear clearly, so she had to ask for help from Xiaoyu in her sea of consciousness.
"Master, he said..." Xiaoyu wanted to tell the truth, but she didn't know whether Zhou Yuanyuan would agree to "compensate" Wen Ziqing as a wife when she grows up. That silly boy Wen Ziqing just said that he still has a lot of white jade! If the master marries him, wouldn't his things belong to the master? In a sense, the master's things would also belong to Xiaoyu, right? So many white jades represent so much spiritual power. If all that spiritual power belongs to her, her strength will definitely increase rapidly!
Xiaoyu thought about this and said quickly: "Master, I didn't hear it clearly, I just heard that you should pay for it."
Oh, so you have to pay for it! You broke someone else's things, that's what you should do.
Zhou Yuanyuan was unknowingly "tricked" by her own Yu Ling.
Hey! Done! When Wen Ziqing jumped down the stairs, he didn't hear the little girl's objection, and he couldn't help but feel happy. Anyway, since the little girl didn't object, he took it as her consent.
In the living room, Wen Yiran, Wen Yulong and Zhou Xi were also startled when they heard the loud noise.
Without waiting for Wen Yiran to speak, Wen Yulong opened the door and rushed out.
Zhou Xi nodded involuntarily. Just looking at Wen Yulong's reaction speed, he knew he was worthy of his position as deputy commander of the military region. Emergency response was also a crucial assessment in the military. But the Wen family's eldest grandson reacted even faster than his father. He was a promising talent! Zhou Xi secretly admired him.
"Old Wen, how about we go and take a look together?" Zhou Xi invited Wen Yiran. The incident happened in the Municipal Party Committee's staff quarters. As the Municipal Party Committee Secretary, Wen Yiran must go out to investigate the cause. Zhou Xi did this as a polite way of saying that he was with Wen Yiran and would support him.
"Okay." Wen Yiran stood up and walked out the door in front of Zhou Xi. Although Zhou Xi was very capable, he, Wen Yiran, was the master here. He couldn't let Zhou Xi, a guest, rush in front, right?
