Lin Jiuyue's eyes fell on Lin Qiye and did not look away for a long time.
Seeing his sister looking at him like that, Lin Qiye stammered.
"Sister, sister, why are you looking at me like that? It's scary."
"Really? I don't think you're afraid at all. I think you're really brave! Now you even dare to lie to your sister."
Speaking of lying, Lin Qiye instantly lost his confidence.
"Sister, I didn't mean to lie to you, don't be angry."
Lin Jiuyue didn't say anything, sitting in the chair, not knowing what she was thinking about.
Lin Qiye reached out carefully and gently pushed Lin Jiuyue.
"Sister, I know I was wrong, don't be angry, don't worry, I will never lie to you again in the future."
Lin Jiuyue sighed when she saw her brother looking so pitiful.
"It's too late to keep a son when he grows up. Never mind. You can do whatever you want in the future. As long as you can keep your life, that's all that matters."
Lin Qiye: ...
Isn't it said that "a girl should not be kept at home when she grows up"? Why does it become "a boy should not be kept at home when he grows up" when it comes to my sister?
However, I just heard my sister say that I can do whatever I want in the future. Doesn't my sister intend to pursue my affairs?
Thinking of this, Lin Qiye showed excitement on his face.
"Sister, you, what did you mean by that just now? Are you not going to pursue the matter of my lying?"
Lin Jiuyue nodded.
"Well, I won't pursue it. What will happen if I do? Will I scold you or beat you up?"
"If I really scold you or beat you up, you might blame me later. Rather than hurting the bond between us, it's better to leave it like this. At least when we're together, we're all harmonious. How wonderful."
Lin Jiuyue suddenly figured it out.
Although Qiye was raised by himself, everyone has their own life and he can't interfere too much in his affairs.
In other words, even if I could interfere with his decision now, what about the future? What if Qiye got married? I couldn't still interfere with his life, could I?
"Sister, are you telling the truth?"
Lin Jiuyue nodded with a very serious expression.
"Of course it's true."
"By the way, Qiye, when do you plan to leave again after you come back this time?"
"Sister, I came back this time because I want to ask you for help with something. I will leave after I finish the task."
Lin Jiuyue: ...
This kid never comes to me unless there is something important. But when he comes to me, it must be because he has something to ask me.
"Tell me, what do you want your sister to help you with this time?"
Lin Qiye smiled a little embarrassedly.
I had learned about the food shortage in the army before, so I told the general that my sister had opened a grain shop. Not only that, I also recommended to the general to buy food from my sister.
Because of this incident, my sister's grain shop ran out of food and was forced to close.
Now that I'm back, I have something to ask my sister for help, and I feel a little embarrassed.
"Sister, I was the one who told the general that you had food..."
Lin Jiuyue nodded.
"I know about that."
Lin Qiye chuckled twice.
"Hey, sister, I didn't recommend it to the general randomly. I know your food is good and will benefit people, so that's why I mentioned it to you."
When Lin Qiye talked about this, he felt a little proud.
Before, the general's soldiers had no food and were hungry, so their fighting capacity dropped a lot. Later, he recommended his sister's food to the general, and after the soldiers ate it, their fighting capacity increased dramatically.
However, I was the only one who knew about this. I hadn't told anyone, not even Brother Gu.
"Sister, you don't know that the soldiers in the army have improved their combat effectiveness by eating our family's food."
Lin Jiuyue couldn't help rolling her eyes when she saw Lin Qiye chattering non-stop when he mentioned these things.
"With so many people in the military, it makes you look capable, right?"
Lin Qiye chuckled twice.
"Hey, sister, don't I know that our food is different from other places? Otherwise, how could I dare to recommend it casually? I'm not a fool, your brother."
Lin Jiuyue: ...
"By the way, sister, I came back this time to ask you if you still have the pills you gave me before?"
Lin Jiuyue frowned.
The pills I had given Qiye before were all made by Paopao and I working overtime overnight. There were still a few in the space, but not much.
Now Paopao is busy researching a new prescription, so I'm afraid he doesn't have enough time to make this pill.
"Yes, I do, but not much. How much do you want?"
"Of course, the more the better."
"Sister, I'm back with a mission this time. The general said that the pills are very effective and asked me to get more. Of course, these pills are not free, you have to pay for them."
Lin Jiuyue frowned.
The more the better? Not for free? Paying money?
If the pills he made were to satisfy the needs of General Gu's men, a small quantity would definitely not be enough, but if the quantity was too large, General Gu probably wouldn't be able to afford it.
"Oh? Did your general tell me the price for the pills?"
Lin Qiye: ...
He didn't tell me the price, but I knew that the general would definitely not offer a high price, and my sister would probably lose money.
"Sister, how much silver do you plan to sell each pill for?"
Lin Jiuyue didn't expect that her younger brother would actually discuss the price of pills with her.
"Why? Whatever price I ask, your general will give me?"
Lin Qiye was stunned.
"That's not the case. The price is negotiable."
Lin Jiuyue looked at Lin Qiye as if he were a monster.
It's only been a short time since we last met, how come my brother is so good at talking? He's even bargaining with me! He's really turning his elbow outward.
"Since you're the one who asked for this, I won't ask for a high price. Just, uh, one hundred copper coins a piece."
The medicinal materials used in the pills are actually not that expensive, they are just some common medicinal materials.
The precious thing about it is that the pills are made with spiritual spring water. Without the spiritual spring water, most doctors can make the pills.
Lin Qiye lowered his head and thought about it.
General Gu's army currently has approximately 120,000 soldiers. If each of them were to prepare one, that would cost 12,000 taels of silver. This price wasn't very expensive.
However, one pill for treating external injuries is not enough for each person.
"Sister, can you make this price a little cheaper?"
