The two doormen had already sent a message to Yu Yueyue and the two maids, asking them to bring a man named Ye Congwen into the house to wait, mainly because they were afraid that Ye Congwen would not know the way.
The two doormen took the medicinal materials and were naturally very enthusiastic about Ye Congwen. They walked in front of him and asked about his welfare, talking here and there, always trying to get some useful information out of their mouths, so as to lay the foundation for different treatment in the future.
It's a pity that I met Ye Congwen, a loach who was extremely slippery. You said something and he said something else. After walking for more than ten minutes, I didn't get any valuable information.
When we arrived at the inner palace, there was no room for two doormen. After someone announced the news, the maid named Xiaocao ran out quickly and asked the two doormen:
"Where are Ye Congwen and others?"
The two doormen looked at each other in surprise, then at Ye Congwen, and both said in confusion:
"Isn't it called Yu Congwen? Did we hear it wrong just now?"
Just when the two doormen were about to ask Ye Congwen, Ye Congwen coughed a few times and reminded:
"Miss Xiaocao, I am Yu Congwen now, please don't call me by the wrong name."
The maid heard the familiar voice and looked carefully at the young master standing aside, and then suddenly realized:
"So it's you. Why are you dressed like this today? I almost didn't recognize you! It's like the man in gold relies on his clothes..."
"Is there something wrong with my clothes?"
Ye Congwen asked a little worriedly. The landlady kept praising herself and her eyes widened. As a master of the Perfection Realm of martial arts, it is easy to tell whether a person's mood fluctuates greatly.
"No problem, absolutely no problem. Your outfit looks great. Come with me quickly. The lady asked me to take you to the living room to wait for her."
The maid admired her young lady very much. She was really discerning. No wonder she was chasing this guy so late at night. If she had known that he was so handsome, no woman would let him go.
Suddenly I thought of being severely scolded by the master and his wife yesterday, and I had an idea. If I take him over and let them take a look, I'm afraid they won't blame him anymore. After all, such an astonishingly handsome man is so rare. If I don’t chase him, wouldn’t he be struck by lightning?
Originally, Yu Yueyue asked the maid to take her to her boudoir to wait, but the maid thought she was smart and led her to the living room.
About ten minutes later, Ye Congwen followed Xiaocao and passed through an unknown number of attic corridors before arriving at a wide courtyard. He could only hear the noise of people in the hall, as if they were arguing about something.
"Master, madam, Ye, Yu Congwen is here."
When Yu Yueyue heard this, she frowned and muttered in her heart: Didn't I tell you to bring him to my room a long time ago?
He turned around and took a look at the majestic young master with sharp eyebrows and starry eyes. He was so surprised that he had nothing to say.
Ye Congwen saw two old people sitting in the center of the hall. The old lady had kind eyes and a spring breeze on her face. The old man was not angry and intimidating, his eyes were intimidating.
Sitting on the lower left is a pampered couple, whose facial features are quite similar to Yu Yueyue's, especially the middle-aged woman, who is plump and tall, but has sharp and cunning eyes. At first glance, she is not as easy to talk to as her daughter.
On the lower right is an old acquaintance, Uncle Yu, and an unknown little boy.
Ye Congwen looked at everyone, raised his hands and replied:
"Good afternoon, elders. My little brother, Ye Congwen, has met you all."
Without waiting for anyone to reply, Sanshu Yu corrected him rather dissatisfied:
"Now I'm going to call Yu Congwen, why can't I change my mind and go back to the Demon Hunter Apprentice Camp? Isn't this going to reveal my secret?"
"Well, before the elders even nodded, I changed my surname to Yu. Isn't it a bit out of order?"
Ye Congwen felt that no matter whether it was to recognize a relative or a relative, the procedures that should be followed cannot be omitted.
"We are all our own people. It doesn't matter what you call us in my Yu Mansion. Young man, what are you carrying?"
When Ye Congwen saw the old man speaking, he quickly opened the sack, took out a handful of thick gastrodia elata, and casually said:
"We are poor people in the mountains and don't have anything valuable. When we first met, my grandfather asked me to bring some souvenirs to honor the elders. I heard that Yu Mansion is a family of traditional Chinese medicine, so I dug a bag of medicinal materials in the Baishou Mountains. Please also ask Elders, please help me appraise it and see how good it is."
Yu Jiankang runs a medicine shop all day long, so he is naturally a fan of it. He came over with great interest, took the medicinal materials and observed them carefully. After taking a look, his eyes were full of shock! Junxiang had never seen such a strange medicinal material. He walked up to the old man and lady with a piece of Gastrodia elata as big as a teacup and asked in confusion:
"Father and mother, look, this Gastrodia elata is very strange. It looks like it has been growing for at least a hundred years, but its surface is smooth and wrinkle-free. There are not even scars from insect bites and rat bites. It must have grown up overnight without any traces. ?”
When Ye Congwen saw Yu Yueyue's father, he could see the problem at a glance. He was such a veteran!
The woman just glanced at the medicinal materials casually and then focused on Ye Congwen. Contrary to her husband, she was probably more interested in herself.
"What do you call the young man?"
"Just call me Xiao Congwen. Everyone in my village calls me that. What do you call me sister?"
Ye Congwen saw that this woman was well-maintained and energetic, looking like she was in her thirties, so naturally he did not dare to make any mistakes and could only answer cautiously. Some women are more narcissistic. If she thinks she will always be eighteen, if I call her aunt, I will offend her.
"What are you talking about, little bastard? No matter how old or young you are, this is my sister-in-law, Yu Yueyue's mother. You want to call me aunty." Uncle Yu secretly shouted from the side.
"Oh, now that I've said it, I understand. Grandpa, grandma, uncle, aunt, did I call you uncle right?"
Ye Congwen had already guessed the relationship between everyone, but he didn't dare to make a fuss, so as not to look ugly and make people laugh.
Yu Yueyue’s mother asked with a half-smile:
"How old are you this year?"
"Just celebrated my fifteenth birthday."
Ye Congwen was a little depressed. If I had come a few months earlier and today was my birthday, it would be possible for this aunt to be happy and give me a box of gold.
"It's just past fifteen. Today is your birthday?"
"No, oh - that's right. I just finished eating longevity noodles with my sister this morning. According to the rules of our Tower Village, it's already my birthday."
Ye Congwen deliberately made his words ambiguous, so that even if someone wanted to pursue him in the future, he would still have something to say to confront him.
When Yu Yueyue heard that Ye Congwen started to lie to her mother again, she didn't know what she was paying attention to. She observed secretly, frowned and thought, but she still had no clue.
"I only had noodles with your sister. Didn't your parents and grandfather celebrate your birthday with you?"
"They have passed away a long time ago. I am the only one left in my family now. That sister is also my distant cousin." Ye Congwen's face was full of sadness and his tone was plaintive.
"Didn't you just say your grandfather?"
"That's the village chief grandpa, I grew up with him."
"What a poor kid, come here and let grandma take a look at you."
Yu Yueyue's grandma became more and more sad as she listened. She stood up tremblingly. Ye Congwen quickly walked around the woman and reached out to support the old lady.
"She has pretty features and pretty features. Standing next to Yueyue, she looks like a pair of golden boys and girls in New Year pictures!"
When the old lady saw her granddaughter coming up to help her, she looked at the two of them and said to her old man with a smile.
Without waiting for the old man to reply, Ye Congwen quickly dismissed the suspicion and replied:
"She is a beautiful girl. How can I be a golden boy? How can there be a golden boy as bad as me in this world? Old lady, please stop making fun of me. I am a poor boy from the country. I will make people laugh at me."
"What's wrong with the country folk? As long as your heart is stronger than anything else, I don't think Zhen is as comfortable as you.
Show off your little cleverness. If you had killed the rhinoceros elephant earlier, you wouldn't have caused so many lives! It's such a waste of human life, and it almost hurt my granddaughter. If Ye Congwen hadn't come to the rescue, where would you and your wife be looking for your daughter at this time? "
The old man's voice was like thunder, making the whole hall buzz.
Ye Congwen glanced at everyone's reaction, and it seemed that there was something behind his words. Could it be that these people are competing here and want to use me as a pawn?
He quickly pretended not to understand, keeping an eye on his nose and his heart.
"Old man, please keep your voice down. You can raise your voice without fear of scaring the guests."
The old lady complained, then looked at Yu Yueyue's parents and reminded:
"You should thank this young man properly. We have been married for almost thirty years and you only have a girl like this, and you still don't take it seriously.
I was running around all day long, and I didn’t even know that my daughter was almost dead!
My old lady hasn’t said a word to you in all these years, right?
Lian Caihong, you have been coming to my Yu family for thirty years, and you have not even given me a grandson. I have never said a harsh word or made a look, right? "
Yu Yueyue's mother lowered her head and hummed, almost scolding her in her heart. You didn't say a word, but the old man said ten sentences a day. If the two of them are equal, doesn't it mean they each said five sentences?
"Since you admit it, I will make the decision this time. No one is allowed to interfere in my granddaughter's marriage. Let her make the decision this time, whether she is really free or fake.
Even if Marquis Zhenwu comes, I have to observe his behavior first. You and your wife don't regard Yueyue as your daughter, but we two old guys have only one granddaughter in our lives, so I have to treat her well. OK this level. "
After finishing speaking, he glanced at Ye Congwen and asked with a smile:
"Young man, do you think that such a good and beautiful granddaughter like me can just marry an unknown outsider?"
"Definitely not! Your granddaughter is so beautiful that everyone praises her. She also holds the title of the most beautiful woman in the county. How can she marry someone casually?
A daughter of an aristocratic family should have the airs of a daughter. How dare he come to my Yu family to propose marriage without a thousand gold bars as a betrothal gift?
Even if you have a thousand kilograms of gold bars as a betrothal gift, you still have to kowtow to your second elder a thousand times to prove his sincerity!
If we don't set some threshold test for him, who knows if he sincerely wants to marry me, Sister Yueyue, just to let him see what it means to have a body of gold. "
