Chapter 36: Deputy Head of the Big-foot Women's Army
Mo Wen and Mo Yan carried the flowers back and forth twice, and saw that the sun was about to set.
Lady Lanhua asked again expectantly, "Mr. Luo, are these flowers enough? If you come back later, you may not be able to enter the city."
Although the gates of Bianliang City closed later, the journey back was not short!
Luo Li finally spoke up and said, "It's too late today, so let's pick these first! We need to come earlier next time."
Mulan finally breathed a sigh of relief! She thought there would be no next time.
Luo Li walked back with everyone who was carrying orchids on their backs and in their arms, and said to Lady Lanhua, "Mulan'er, calculate how much these flowers are worth. I'll pay you on the spot."
"I'll go ask daddy!" Mulan'er quickly ran towards the wooden house in the distance.
After entering for a while, he ran back and said, "My father said that although some of the orchids in that valley were transplanted and cultivated by him, most of them were wild-bred. You only picked the flowers and left the rhizomes, so I won't charge you!"
Luo Li looked at Mulan'er in surprise, "Mulan'er, these flowers are worth more than a thousand taels of silver according to the price we traded before. Don't you want to buy medicine for your mother's eye disease?"
Mulan'er bit her lip, "I used to dig up the orchids and carry them to the city, so your price was a bit expensive. This time you picked them by yourself, and left the orchid rhizomes, so I won't charge you."
Luo Li thought to herself, I'm in trouble!
She won't charge for these flowers, but there are still so many orchids in the valley that haven't been picked!
"Lan'er, we will come to pick them next time. If you don't charge me, I can't always take advantage of you."
Sure enough, Mulan'er showed a happy smile on her face, "Master Luo, I will never let you come to pick orchids in this valley again."
Luo Li was anxious! The orchids in this valley will bloom every year in the future!
She grabbed Mulan'er and said, "Lan'er, come with me, let's discuss it aside."
Mulan'er blushed when Luo Li held her hand, and she wanted to break away. But she remembered that she was a woman dressed as a man, so she followed her obediently to a place far away from the crowd.
Mulan'er made up her mind: No matter how eloquent you are, you can never pick orchids in this valley again.
Far enough away from everyone, Luo Li stopped.
Looking into Mulan'er's eyes, he said, "Mulan'er, let's make a deal! You can let me pick all the flowers in this valley, and I will pay you for them. I will also give your mother a pair of bright eyes as compensation. How about that?"
"You mean you can cure my mother's eye disease?" Mulan'er asked in surprise.
Luo Li nodded, "Yes! Your mother's eyes can only be cured by me. Do you want to make this deal?"
Mulan'er knelt down on the ground with tears in her eyes and trembling voice, "Princess! As long as you can cure my mother's eyes, all the orchids in this valley will be yours.
From now on, whatever you want, Mulan'er will obey you!"
Luo Li was secretly happy in her heart!
[Profit! Profit big!
It's just a small operation. The orchids in this valley will be mine every year. I also have a good helper like Mulan'er. 】
Luo Li reached out and pulled Mulan'er up, "Lan'er, how do you know that I am the silly princess of the Qin Palace?"
Mulan'er pursed her lips and smiled, "Princess, people in the capital say you are silly, that's because they are blind. In my opinion, there is absolutely no woman smarter than you in this world."
Luo Li smiled cunningly, "Smart people in this world look at fools as silly, and fools look at smart people as silly. This princess has suffered from brain disease, isn't it normal to be silly?"
Mulan'er laughed, and she would never be a fool if she kept admitting that she was silly. The princess is a person who pretends to be a pig to eat a tiger, and is very wise.
Luo Li's expression became serious, "Lan'er! The fact that I treated your mother's eye disease must not be known to anyone except your family. This is related to the safety of my life!"
Mulan'er knelt on the ground again with a "thump", "Princess, please rest assured! If this matter is spread out by Mulan'er's family, we will be struck by lightning and damned..."
Mulan'er hadn't finished her oath when Luo Li quickly pulled up this honest girl.
"Lan'er, no need to swear, I trust you!"
Luo Li thought for a moment and said, "Lan'er, prepare a small house built with new wooden boards in this valley. It doesn't need to be big, just more than ten feet in diameter. You use hot water steam to fumigate the house three times a day. After three days of fumigation, I will come to treat your mother's eye disease."
Mulan nodded: "Princess, Lan'er has taken note of it. Daddy and I will start preparing tomorrow."
The people waiting in the distance found that Mulan was reluctantly pulled away by Luo Li, but she came back with a smile on her face.
Yang Yanqi saw it and joked, "Mr. Luo avoided us and used the beauty trap again. It seems that Madam Lanhua has fallen into the trap!"
Mulan'er blushed with shame, and glared at Miss Yang angrily, but her face was full of joy.
After Luo Li and Mulan'er left, Mo Wen and Mo Yan looked at each other behind a rock, their eyes full of shock.
"Could it be? Was the prince saved by the princess that day and night?"
Mo Yan nodded, "Very likely!"
It was getting late, Luo Li ordered, "Hurry up! Don't be locked outside the city gate."
The two carriages rushed to Bianliang City at a very fast speed.
Luo Li ordered Hong Gu, "Hong Gu, when you reach the fork in the road, take the carriage with Lanhua to the farm in the west of the city and let Luo Ming and Luo Cong make essential oil overnight."
Luo Li was really a little sleepy, and fell asleep leaning on Yang Yanqi. Yang Yanqi held her in his arms, trying to make her sleeping position as comfortable as possible.
Regardless of whether Luo Li was a man or a woman, she loved him sincerely. If they couldn't be husband and wife, they could be best friends.
The economy of the Song Dynasty was developed, especially in the capital, where markets were everywhere. A trade market was also formed three miles outside the city gate. In order to facilitate citizens' night transactions, the gates of Bianliang were closed very late, and there was no curfew in the city.
The carriages dared not drive too fast at night. When Luo Li and others hurried back to the city gate, they arrived at the time when the city gate was about to close.
In the brightly lit area of the city gate, a woman riding a jujube-red warhorse was anxiously looking at the road in the distance.
Seeing the shadow of a carriage and the familiar white horse, the woman rode forward happily.
She shouted loudly, "Yanqi! You are finally back. If you are a cup of tea later, you will not be able to enter the city gate!"
Yang Yanqi heard the familiar voice, opened the curtain of the carriage window and looked out, "Ruoying! Are you waiting for me at the city gate?"
Luo Li was awakened, raised her head from Yang Yanqi's arms, and asked in a daze, "Who is it? Such a loud voice?"
Yang Yanqi said excitedly, "Luo Li, another deputy commander of your Big Foot Women's Corps is here!"
She poked her head out and shouted, "Ruoying! Let's talk in the city first, don't be locked out."
After entering the city gate, Yang Yanqi stopped the carriage in a wide place, opened the door and jumped out.
The woman on the red horse also jumped off the warhorse, "Yanqi, I heard it! My bear brother has made you angry again. One day, let's find an opportunity to beat him up together and let you vent your anger!"
"Of course you can! Ruoying, I'll introduce someone to you." Yang Yanqi said as he pulled the woman's hand and walked towards the carriage.
Seeing Luo Li, he opened the curtain of the carriage and jumped down!
Yang Yanqi excitedly pulled the woman's hand and pointed at Luo Li who jumped off the carriage to introduce her.
"Ruoying, this person is..." She said, her eyes suddenly turned, "He is my lover!"
Gao Ruoying's eyes widened in shock, "Yang Yanqi, you are good! You have some skills! How did you hook up with such a handsome pretty boy? Teach me some experience."
Yang Yanqi said proudly, "How is it? Such a handsome pretty boy is hard to find in the world, and I hooked up with her with a little trick. Do you like her? We have a close relationship. If you like her, I will give you half of her."
The woman looked at Luo Li's handsome and suave appearance, "I like her, but a friend's... husband should not be bullied, I will not take your love away."
Luo Li was caught off guard by two bold and thick-skinned girls.
Not bad! This tall and strong woman with a big face is also a rebel of this era, an "alternative"!
Luo Li took out a folding fan and swung it, his handsome eyes shining, and he put on a suave look, "Yanqi, is this lady the deputy leader you found for this young master?"
The woman turned her head curiously and asked Yang Yanqi, "What deputy leader?"
Yang Yanqi laughed, "Our young master Luo is not happy about the discrimination against big-footed women in this world, and wants to form a big-footed women's army.
He is the leader himself and appointed me as the deputy leader. I will recommend you as another deputy leader. Ruoying, are you interested?"
The woman was surprised and then clapped her hands in excitement and ecstasy!
: "Great! Great! This is a really great idea. Those hypocritical hypocrites all look down on and laugh at our big feet, so let's form a big-footed women's army to show them!"
The woman looked at Luo Li and said, "The person who can come up with this idea is also an interesting and wonderful person. Mr. Luo, my name is Gao Ruoying, and I will be the deputy leader!"
Luo Li was really surprised after being shocked for a while. This Gao Ruoying with thick eyebrows and big eyes looks more bold, bold, hot and straightforward than Yang Yanqi. It is so
rare to have such a woman in this era!
I, Luo Li, have made this friend!
The three of them made an appointment to meet in Shenglou in the west of the city tomorrow to discuss in detail, and then they went home separately.
