The Emperor of Qin gave six handsome men

Chapter 174 Lies

Wei Ao hugged her and acted coquettishly. Lu Zhi smiled helplessly. She felt even more guilty about the child left by her original body and Liu Bang. She was not a good mother!

"Okay, okay, whatever you say. The Prime Minister sent a few items today. Take a look and see if you like any of them."

Lu Zhi put the clothes aside, took out a box, and when she opened it, Wei Ao's eyes lit up.

"Mom, what is this? It's so beautiful! Why does it look like glass?"

Lu Zhi smiled and gently poked her forehead. These are two different things. If you don’t believe me, hold it and feel it to see the difference between it and glass.

Wei Ao picked up a pendant carved with a small gourd and placed it in his palm to examine it carefully.

"It does feel different from glass. It's icy cold and seems harder."

Lu Zhi took out two jade pendants and touched them gently, making a series of crisp sounds. Wei Ao also picked up one and tried it.

"Mother, this makes a better sound than ordinary jade pendants when worn on the body. Please tell me what this is~"

"This is jadeite, which is also a kind of jade, but it is a dense block aggregate formed by countless tiny fibrous mineral microcrystals, mainly jadeite..."

Lu Zhi told Wei Ao all the knowledge in her mind, and Wei Ao couldn't let go of these jades.

"Mother, the Prime Minister is so kind. He will send us everything no matter what. I will go and kowtow to her a few times."

After Wei Ao finished speaking, he immediately ran to a room and kowtowed in front of Qin Xingfu's portrait. This was the portrait that every household had hung up before she was unconscious. They burned incense and prayed every day, and now they were used to it.

"Mr. Prime Minister, thank you for your gift, I like it very much! Wei Ao will definitely study hard and strive to be a useful person like you. I hope you can catch the murderer who killed my father as soon as possible. Wei Ao kowtows to you here!"

After that, Wei Ao kowtowed three times very devoutly. Seeing her coming back, Lü Zhi made the bed.

"It's getting late today, go wash up quickly."

"understood!"

The winter in Xiangjun is not as cold as that in Xianyang, but it is still a little chilly. She reads and practices martial arts every day and sweats a lot every day. Her mother supervises her to wash herself clean before letting her go to bed. She has gotten used to it.

After happily washing, Lu Zhi helped her dry her hair before she went to wash up. Looking at herself in the mirror, she didn't know how long she could deceive them. It seemed that she even believed it. But the better she treated them, the more guilty she felt.

Choosing to stay in Xiang County, she could only try her best to write or do what was in that person's memory. After a long time, it seemed that she was really her. Only such a shining person could raise such a dazzling daughter.

"Ah~"

She lied to save her life, but she took it seriously. Thinking of this, Lu Zhi sighed heavily. She could only learn and understand slowly. She was not a stupid person. Give her some more time, and she would definitely repay her in her own way.

Qin Xingfu's wedding banquet and his child's hundred-day party made jade popular. Qi Ge had also surveyed the distribution range of the minerals long ago. Anyway, all the places they had been to belonged to Daqin, so these naturally belonged to Daqin as well.

As the demand for jadeite increased dramatically, Fusu sent his eighth brother, Prince Ying Lu, who loved jade, to be in charge.

"Your Majesty, can I not go? I heard that there are many poisonous insects and miasma in the mountains and forests over there. I don't know how to do anything. How about staying in Xianyang?"

Although Ying Lu also coveted those jades, he didn't like going to remote areas. For him, who had always been spoiled, it would be a death sentence.

"My eighth brother! Look at Hu Hai, Jiang Lu, Gao, Zi Ying, they all went out to expand the territory and work hard for the emperor's wish. As an elder brother, can't you understand my painstaking efforts? One day when the emperor wakes up, I will say a few good words for you, right? I remember that you had beautiful handwriting when you were a child, and you would be happy for several months if the emperor praised you. If the emperor wakes up and sees the gems and treasures you collected for him, wouldn't he be even happier?"

Ying Lu raised his fat face and looked at Fusu. His eyes, which had become smaller due to obesity, lit up when he heard this. Yes! It is a great honor to be praised by his father.

After thinking about it, his face still wrinkled.

"but I……"

"You get 20% of the money earned from Jade, but other benefits don't count."

Seeing that he still wanted to refuse, Fusu gritted his teeth and gave up 10% of his share.

Ying Lu’s little head turned rapidly, and then he nodded.

"Then it's a deal! No regrets, Your Majesty, you are the one who will summon me!"

"it is good!"

"By the way, can I take my wife and concubines with me? After all, the mountains are high and the roads are long..."

"Sure! You and your whole family can move there."

Fusu found that if he really had to take care of so many places by himself, he would be exhausted. Anyway, his father had so many sons and daughters, so giving each of them a piece of land could not only avoid conflicts between brothers, but also give him a good reputation.

As for military and financial power, he still has the final say. Weapons, salt, and minerals are mainly controlled in his hands. It is enough to give them a little bit occasionally!

"Here! Thank you, Your Majesty, you are so kind!"

Fusu saw that his smile was worthless and chubby, so he couldn't help but remind him.

"You need to control your diet. The doctor said that if you gain weight any more, it will be bad for your health."

"I am so lucky. Your Majesty, you are so busy. Please finish writing it quickly. Don't delay it for too long because of this little thing. I still need to go back and pack my things."

"Go ahead! There's no rush, you can go slowly. Just watch your mouth and don't let anything slip!"

If everyone asks him for additional share, his treasury will have a lot less money.

"Okay, okay! I promise I won't tell!"

Only a fool would tell others about the money to be made. Ying Lu happily took the imperial edict and left. But when he thought of what Fusu said, he pretended to be very embarrassed and went home reluctantly.

He met many people along the way, and Ying Lu told them with a sad face that he was sent to Qian County by His Majesty, and that he would continue to expand the territory to the southwest if he had the chance.

Many people came to comfort him, and happened to meet Yingsha who had come back to pay a visit to Fusu.

"Brother, is this true? You are going to the southwest? Can you not go?"

Ying Sha was a little worried. He was taken care of by his brother when he was a child, but now he had to go to such a difficult place. His brother had never suffered any hardship since he was a child. Wouldn't it be the end of him to go to those places?

"No, I want to reason with His Majesty!"

Ying Lu felt that he had overacted and quickly pulled him back.

"Good brother, don't be impulsive. Seeing that you all serve the Qin Dynasty, I also want to do my part like you. I am willing to go to Qian County, but I am reluctant to leave you."

Ying Sha found it rare to see him so serious and thought that he might be stimulated, but he was also quite relieved, so he patted his shoulder and encouraged him.

"Brother, you have matured!"

Ying Lu was speechless, and only then did he notice Harduo who had returned with Ying Sha.

"Eighth Brother, this is my wife, Haldo, this is Eighth Brother!"

"I've met the emperor brother!"

Harduo saluted and Yinglu returned the salute.

"My sister-in-law is very good. You are very lucky. When you have time, come to my house to see her. I won't delay you from meeting His Majesty!"

"Okay, I'll go see my brother in two days!"

After they separated, Haldo asked Yingsha.

"How many brothers and sisters are there in your family? I just passed by here and I met several!"

Ying Sha scratched his head and said.

"I haven't really counted them. Including His Majesty, there are 21 men, and there seem to be more than women. I haven't paid attention to the exact number."

He has too many brothers and sisters, and he has never seen many of the younger ones. It is said that before his father fell into a coma, there were beauties in the harem who were pregnant. Now they all live out separately.

Harduo was shocked. With so many people to meet every day, she would be exhausted, Yingsha said, holding her hand.

"It's okay. Just go and meet those older than me. Some of the younger ones can't even walk. There's no need to go to those besides the royal family."

Only then did Harduo feel relieved and followed him into the palace to pay a visit to Fusu.
