After crossing, I was forced to hold on to my thighs and build a kingdom

“Even if it’s not right, it’s not far off!”

After Huizhen imitated her elder brother's elegant way of saying this, she whispered to herself, "I really thought that your calligraphy was quite good. Instead of letting a slightly flawed piece of calligraphy gather dust at home, I might as well take it to a calligraphy and painting shop to see if I could get a few coins for it!"

Huizhen plopped down next to Jinchu, took a few sips of water from the cup on the table, and then spoke again: "Who would have thought that when I showed it to the shopkeeper at the store, the young man would call the shopkeeper out. The shopkeeper even looked at the calligraphy for a long time. I faintly heard him mutter something like, 'It looks like, it looks like, although it's a little dirty, it really does look like Mr. Yuanshan's calligraphy...' Then, the man asked me how much I wanted."

"So what's your price?"

Thinking back to that dreamlike scene, Huizhen was still filled with joy. "How could I have known how much this would cost? I didn't dare to quote a price. I tried to ask the shopkeeper how much he would pay. And guess what he said?"

Jin Chu thought for a moment and asked tentatively, "Did the shopkeeper give you one or two taels of silver?"

Huizhen shook her head and stretched out two fingers to shake at Jinchu: "Twenty taels, it's twenty taels!"

Jin Chu was also surprised. Twenty taels was really not a small amount. Could it be that Wang Weiyuan was really the next reincarnation of the Saint of Calligraphy?

He is only a young man, but his attainments in calligraphy are so high!

"The shopkeeper personally wrapped up twenty taels of silver for me and repeatedly asked me where I got it from. I was worried about revealing my eldest brother's name, so I said a relative asked me to sell it. The shopkeeper kindly told me that if I ever had any calligraphy from this relative, no matter how much or what it said, I could send it to his shop. He also promised me a fair price. Before I left, he even personally walked me out the door. His attitude was so warm!"

Thinking of the dreamlike feeling of that day, Huizhen couldn't help but feel excited.

A piece of calligraphy with a slight flaw and no signature was sold for a huge sum of twenty taels. Wouldn't the real works of my brother be worth thirty or fifty taels each?

"Later, I returned home and told my parents about this. They scolded me and told me to personally apologize to my eldest brother. I went to the capital to find my eldest brother and told him about it. He just told me that I only needed to know about this matter and not to tell anyone else. Later, I found out that my parents and grandfather all knew about my eldest brother's affairs, and only my younger brother Yue and I were unaware."

At the end of her speech, Huizhen's face was filled with dissatisfaction. "Let's get to the point today. I know you are trustworthy, Jin'er. Please don't spread this matter. My eldest brother must have other plans."

"Okay, Huizhen, since you trust me so much, I can't let you down, right? Don't worry, I will forget about this matter after hearing it, and I won't tell anyone else about it." Jinchu promised the girl in front of him seriously.

"I certainly believe you." Huizhen smiled after receiving the guarantee.

The two chatted for a while, and Huizhen took out a small basket, carefully selected several kinds of silk threads, and began to weave a peace silk for Zhaoer seriously. After weaving it, she strung a pair of small peach wood baskets on it, and a simple bracelet was completed.

Jinchu picked up the silk and looked at it again and again, praising it endlessly: "Huizhen, I didn't expect that you are such a skillful girl!"

Huizhen pursed her lips and smiled. "What's that? We girls spend all day sewing and mending. Who doesn't know how to braid a few knots?"

After saying this, he suddenly realized that he had said something wrong. Jin'er in front of him couldn't do that!

Huizhen quickly tried to make amends, "Jin'er, I didn't mean it. Although you're not good at needlework, you're smart and good-looking. You won't be relying on mending and other rough work to make a living in the future, so it's okay if you don't know how to do needlework."

Jin Chu knew she was trying to comfort herself, but she deliberately put on a gloomy expression, causing Hui Zhen to keep blaming her: "Sister Jin'er, dear sister, I really didn't mean it! Our Miss Jin'er has many ways to make a living, and she definitely doesn't need this time-consuming and eye-straining needlework to add to her life!"

Jin Chu turned around, his shoulders trembling slightly.

Huizhen saw that this was outrageous and quickly increased her pressure: "Jin'er, Sister Jin'er, can I call you sister? I didn't mean it, so please be magnanimous and don't argue with me. Don't be angry anymore, okay?"

Jin Chu remained silent, but his body was shaking even more violently.

"Jin'er, Jin'er, don't cry. I'm sorry. Hit me a few times to vent your anger! I promise not to fight back today. Let you vent your anger, okay?"

After saying this, Huizhen hurriedly turned Jinchu's body around, but there was no sign of a sad girl crying with tears streaming down her face. Instead, she looked like a beautiful girl laughing so hard that her body was shaking with laughter.

Jinchu wiped the tears from her eyes, but continued to chop Huizhen with her knife. "You were the one who asked to call me sister, so you have to treat me like your sister from now on! I didn't hear you clearly just now, so why don't you call me sister again?"

"Oh! Jin'er, you mischievous little devil, you bad girl! All you do is bully me all day long. I'll teach you a lesson today!"

Huizhen had a slight anger on her face. She pushed Jinchu to the head of the bed, put her hands under her waist, and tickled her with a half-tickling, half-pinching gesture.

Jinchu has always been sensitive. When Huizhen's cool hand touched her waist, she immediately trembled. Huizhen's deliberate mischief made Jinchu feel cold, numb and itchy. She laughed so hard that she gasped and kept begging for mercy: "Good sister, let go quickly, Jin'er won't tease you anymore!"

"Hmph, you little bitch, I'll teach you a lesson!" Huizhen cursed with a smile, but her hands didn't stop moving.

"Oh, Jin'er was wrong, so wrong! Good Huizhen, please let me go, I'm dying of laughter!"

Jinchu twisted her body back and forth, just trying to avoid Huizhen's hands, but she had already laughed so hard that she had no strength left and couldn't break free.

Huizhen pressed down hard on the person beneath her, breathing rapidly from exhaustion. She said in a rough voice, "I'm going to teach you a lesson this time, or you won't harm me again next time!"

"Sister, what are you doing?" A childish voice sounded from behind. It was Zhao'er.

The two girls who were fighting froze at the same time, and the next moment, Huizhen also withdrew her hands.

The girl's jacket was pushed up, revealing her slender waist. Her jet-black hair fell loosely around her waist, making the exposed skin look whiter than snow. The black and white were clearly distinguished, pure and seductive.

Wang Weiyuan felt his eyes light up and his mind buzzed as if a string was being plucked. His usually calm heart trembled unconsciously.

He quickly turned his head away to avoid the sudden visual impact, but the slender waist still appeared in his mind.

Wang Weiyuan shook his head subconsciously, as if trying to shake off the extremely shocking scene, but the crimson tips of his ears revealed his true thoughts.
