Lin Jiuyue smiled.
"Aunt Gu, there's no rush for the silver. If Uncle Gu is short of it, I don't mind not taking it. I'll just consider it as a small contribution to the soldiers at the border."
To be honest, Lin Jiuyue didn't really care about the money from selling grain.
Just like what I said to Madam Gu before, if the lips are gone, the teeth will be cold. I still have to rely on the soldiers of Nanyue who are on the battlefield to help resist the foreign enemies. I am better off living a stable life.
What's the big deal about losing a little silver? Those soldiers could have lost their lives if they weren't careful.
"One thing is another. Your uncle Gu had people transport the grain, so naturally he should be paid for it."
After Mrs. Gu finished speaking, she picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip.
"Besides the food issue, Aunt Gu has something else to tell you."
Lin Jiuyue straightened his expression.
"Your brother is at the border and has now been promoted to centurion."
Lin Jiuyue was stunned when she heard this.
How come that guy didn't reveal anything about such a big thing? Is he trying to hide it from me?
"Aunt Gu, Qiye is not injured, right?"
Mrs. Gu looked at Lin Jiuyue in surprise.
Why is this girl's focus different from that of ordinary people? When ordinary people hear that their brother has been promoted from a soldier to a centurion, their first reaction is joy. But this girl's first reaction is to ask if her brother is injured!
"On the battlefield, swords are merciless, so injuries are inevitable. However, they are not serious."
Lin Jiuyue frowned.
Qiye, this kid, has learned to lie to me now. Every time he writes back, he only says good things.
If Aunt Gu hadn't told me this time, I wouldn't have known that this kid had been promoted to centurion.
In the military, getting promoted is not an easy thing; you need real merits.
I don’t know how much suffering Qiye endured and how many injuries he suffered to be promoted to centurion.
"September, shouldn't you be happy for your brother?"
Lin Jiuyue moved her lips slightly and spoke.
"I should be happy for him that he can achieve such success, but if this achievement and status comes at the cost of his injury, or worse, his life, then I would rather he remain an ordinary person."
I only have one younger brother, Qiye, and he is my only relative in this world. Compared to others, I just hope that he can be safe and sound.
As for whether he has a future or not, I don't care.
"Haha, Chengyan is right. You, girl, always have different ideas from ordinary people."
Mrs. Gu smiled and spoke.
"Although you two siblings have no other relatives besides each other, your relationship is truly enviable."
"Your brother, Lin Qiye, was afraid that you would scold him after you knew about this, so he asked your uncle Gu to tell Auntie, and then let Auntie Gu tell you."
Lin Jiuyue pursed her lips.
"Aunt Gu, do I know about this? Don't worry, I will definitely not scold him when he comes back."
I promised not to scold, but I didn’t promise not to hit!
This brat, for a little military achievement, actually disregarded his own safety. When he comes back, I'll give him a good beating. I'm not Lin Jiuyue anymore!
"Haha, you promised Auntie Gu today. Auntie Gu will remember it. If you scold Qiye later, Auntie Gu will not agree."
Lin Jiuyue smiled and nodded.
When Mrs. Gu saw Lin Jiuyue agreed, a relieved smile appeared on her face.
Fortunately, this girl still gave me face, otherwise I really don’t know how to face Qi Ye at that time.
"Qi Ye, did you hear what your sister said? Come out, your sister has promised not to scold you."
Lin Qiye, who was hiding outside the door, was speechless.
How could Aunt Gu reveal her return so quickly? She hadn't even told her sister yet.
However, this is also my fault. At that time, I only asked Aunt Gu to plead for mercy and ask my sister not to scold me, and I forgot to ask Aunt Gu to ask my sister not to beat me.
When Lin Jiuyue heard what Mrs. Gu said, a faint smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.
Qiye, that brat, actually tried to pull this trick on me! Did he forget that after he gained the space, his hearing became extraordinary?
As early as when Aunt Gu mentioned that I couldn't scold Qiye, I felt something was strange. I listened carefully at that time and heard an unusual sound at the door. After using my mind to investigate, I realized that Qiye had returned.
In order to see what Qiye was up to, he had been holding back for quite a while. Finally, Qiye showed up.
"elder sister……"
Lin Qiye lowered his head, looking as if he had done something wrong.
Lin Jiuyue looked at Qiye with a smile.
"When did you come back? Why didn't you go home?"
Lin Qiye opened his mouth.
"Sister, I, I came back last night..."
"You kid, why don't you go home after you come back? And you come to disturb Aunt Gu and the others. How rude."
When Lin Qiye heard what his sister said, he became even more frightened.
If my sister scolded me right now, I would feel better. But when my sister showed this smile, I always felt uneasy.
"Sister, I came back a little late last night. When I finished my work, the city gates were closed, so I didn't go back."
The city gates are closed? That's just an excuse! The most important thing is, I haven't figured out how to face my sister yet.
It was I who insisted on going to the battlefield with Brother Gu, and I also promised my sister that I would not get hurt.
But now, I haven't done it.
After coming back this time, I don’t know whether my sister will still let me go to the battlefield.
"Jiuyue, Qiye, you two siblings haven't seen each other for quite a while, right? You must miss each other a lot. Aunt Gu won't disturb you two. I'll leave some space for you siblings so you can have a good chat and reminisce."
When Lin Qiye heard that Mrs. Gu was leaving, he became even more nervous, as he was already a little nervous.
"Aunt Gu, you..."
"Aunt Gu, if you have something to do, go ahead and do it. Jiuyue has always been curious about what's happening on the battlefield. Now that Qiye is back, Jiuyue will chat with Qiye for a while."
After Lin Jiuyue finished speaking, she smiled at Mrs. Gu.
When Mrs. Gu heard Lin Jiuyue's words, she winked at Lin Qiye.
It seemed to mean that the matter had been settled for Qiye.
Qiye showed a smile on her face that was uglier than crying.
Aunt Gu, how could she have accomplished this for herself? This was just because her sister gave Aunt Gu face and didn't get angry in front of her!
I am sure that as soon as Aunt Gu leaves, my sister will have a good chat with me!
