"Brother Congwen! Did you admit it yourself?"
Lin Xiaoyu didn't wait for Ye Congwen's answer, and rushed to hug Yu Yueyue, laying a good foundation for her to be her sister-in-law in the future.
Ye Congwen threw Yu Yueyue into Lin Xiaoyu's hand. He didn't want to hold Yu Yueyue around in the apprentice camp. If the news reached Lian Chengcheng's ears, and then ran to Lian Caihong to learn from him, he was afraid that he would cause trouble again. .
Lin Xiaoyu took Yu Yueyue and said with a smile:
"Sister Yueyue, be good! Sister-in-law, please give me a hug!"
Unexpectedly, Yu Yueyue has a slender figure, long arms and legs, but Lin Xiaoyu is not tall. Yu Yueyue stretched gently, and her black hair almost touched the ground.
How could Yu Yueyue, who had severe mysophobia, tolerate this kind of thing? She deliberately twisted a few times, and Lin Xiaoyu was like a child holding a long fish. Jumping and tumbling around in his hands, Lin Xiaoyu couldn't care less about his head than his feet. In the end, he simply carried Yu Yueyue on his shoulders.
As time passed, Yu Yueyue felt dizzy and had difficulty breathing. Lin Xiaoyu almost poured out her breakfast!
Ye Congwen saw that Yu Yueyue's face was red from holding back, and Lin Xiaoyu was still laughing and joking like a normal person.
"Sister Xiaoyu, let me hold you. You're like a pork dealer, so be careful about your appearance!"
Ye Congwen took advantage of Lin Xiaoyu's moment of daze, hugged Yu Yueyue in his arms, and strode towards the house.
Ye Congwen walked very fast, and before long, the three of them had arrived at the Yu family's house. Yu Benben had been waiting at the door for a long time, and even moved out a rattan recliner for Yu Yueyue to use.
Ye Congwen gently placed Yu Yueyue on the recliner, and asked Lin Xiaoyu to go to Yu Yueyue's room to get a thin quilt to cover her up, and simply let her sleep peacefully.
Yu Yueyue was unconscious, so Ye Congwen gave Yu Yueyue's share of rice to Lin Xiaoyu. When Yu Benben knew that his cousin was only temporarily comatose and was not seriously ill, he started eating the meal with laughter. .
After finishing the meal and clearing the table, Yu Benben carefully took out the two-color snow ginseng, placed it gently on the table, and asked puzzledly:
"It's really good luck after practicing. Six or seven of us walked around the mountain for two or three days without finding the elixir. He can dig up the elixir by himself on the mountain. Does he really know the secret of treasure hunting?
But why doesn't my uncle pass on the secret technique to us Yu family children? "
Ye Congwen smiled contemptuously. He wanted to expose Lian Chengcheng's lies, but suddenly thought that Yu Yueyue was still pretending to be asleep. He might as well let her understand the nature of her parents so that she could be mentally prepared in the future.
"Forget it, your uncle. He's just a strict wife. Let your aunt control it so that he doesn't dare to go east or west, and she doesn't dare to fart even if she shuts up!
It’s normal for him to pass on treasure hunting secrets to his disciples! My grandfather once said: If a woman is in charge of the house, the house will collapse! Back then, he advised Grandpa Yu not to delegate all family power to your uncle. But he refused to listen, and now he must have tasted the consequences. Even though your uncle is the eldest son, in fact, it is your aunt who listens to politics behind the curtain. "
Lin Xiaoyu gloated and interjected, "This girl is Mr. Lin's precious granddaughter, so she naturally knows many secrets."
Ye Congwen secretly glanced at Yu Yueyue, who was frowning slightly, and defended her:
"Is Mr. Lin's opinion too extreme? I think the Yu family has made rapid progress in the hands of Yu Yueyue's parents in recent years. In less than twenty years, they have managed to earn a fortune of ten thousand yuan. In terms of wealth alone, you Yu Lin and Mo's three families are only afraid that the Yu family will be ranked first, right?
Your sister Yueyue often laments to me that her parents have extraordinary business talents, which shows that they are also outstanding. "
Yu Benben completely agrees with Ye Congwen on this point. After all, there are nearly a thousand members of the Yu clan, and no one in the clan, whether they are branch clan members or direct descendants, receive dividends and subsidies every year.
"More money may not always be a benefit! Look at these direct young masters in the Yu Mansion, none of them are doing nothing but living and drinking. There are hundreds of direct descendants in the clan, not even a single martial artist, so they have to look to you two to support their appearance.
Tell me, these young masters are so pampered and have lost their composure. Is the main reason why your aunt and uncle are so good at making money and pay too much dividends? "
Lin Xiaoyu held the snow ginseng and looked around while promoting her grandfather's point of view.
Ye Congwen nodded and agreed:
"What you said makes sense. If I grew up spending money and having a lot of servants, I wouldn't have the heart to practice martial arts. I practice in the summer and in the winter. I also have to subdue the tiger and subdue the bear. If I'm not careful, my life will be in danger. How can I How comfortable is it to lie at home and be taken care of by a group of flowery maids!"
As soon as he said this, Yu Benben showed a knowing smile. It was obvious that he agreed with Ye Congwen's views. Both of them were poor and yearned for this kind of life full of flowers.
"Brother Congwen, your idea is very dangerous! You actually have such a ridiculous idea. It seems that you need to leave those gold bars to me for safekeeping first."
Lin Xiaoyu spoke with a smile, staring at Ye Congwen's pockets, feeling the urge to search him.
It's your turn to keep it, but someone has already touched it. I'm afraid that if Lin Xiaoyu continues to delve into this issue, if he can't come up with it, won't it damage his image?
Change the topic immediately:
"None of the direct descendants of the Yu Mansion have any martial arts skills, but it is completely different if they are trained in the family. Listening to Lian Mingming's tone, it seems that their family also has masters at the Grand Master level. Why is there such a big contrast?"
Ye Congwen occasionally glanced at Yu Yueyue, as if he was listening carefully with his ears wide open.
"Haha! You are asking the right person, my grandfather has a unique eye for this issue."
Lin Xiaoyu was very interested, threw the snow ginseng on the table, and started talking:
"It is said that if a girl is not successful in college, her married daughter will throw away the water! But your aunt is a special case!
After being married to the Yu family for more than 20 years, she actually lived in her parents’ house several times longer than in her husband’s house! She would go to her parents' house almost every now and then, and she would stay there for several months.
The financial power of the Yu family is all in her hands. Do you think she will lean towards her natal family?
Your Yu Mansion is a family of traditional Chinese medicine, dealing with medicinal materials all day long. Who do you think she would give it to if she occasionally purchases some elixirs? "
"That's not entirely Auntie's fault. I heard some old servants say:
The grandparents often blame the aunt for not adding a grandson to the Yu family, and they dislike each other. For the sake of family harmony, the aunt often wanders away from home. The uncle is afraid that the aunt will be sad, so he occasionally goes out with her to relax. "
Yu Benben shook his head and explained softly, which made Ye Congwen very surprised. This boy had only been in Yu Mansion for three days, and he had already tricked him into such an old story. He seemed to have the talent to be a detective. .
"If you can't have grandchildren, wouldn't it be solved by asking your uncle to take a concubine? It's not like your Yu Mansion has no money. It only costs a few gold bars to buy a beautiful concubine. She has money to buy elixirs for the family. Is it possible? Do you only need this little money?
I think there's something else going on. "
Ye Congwen glanced at Yu Yueyue, whose chest was heaving, and knew that if Lin Xiaoyu continued to talk so carelessly, this woman who liked to protect her shortcomings would definitely go crazy.
He immediately took the opportunity to interject:
"What did you just say? You only need a few gold bars to buy a beautiful concubine. To be more specific, how many gold bars do you need?"
"Seven or eight for good looks, four or five for medium ones will do. If you don't pay special attention to your appearance and figure, one or two will do. Of course, this is a decent price offered by aristocratic families like us. After all, famous families also need face. We can’t let others poke us in the back.”
Lin Xiaoyu spoke eloquently, and suddenly felt something was wrong, and asked angrily:
"Brother Congwen, why are you asking this? You are not even married to your first wife, so how can you be qualified to take a concubine? Besides, you can't take a concubine without the consent of your first wife!"
"What nonsense are you talking about? Aren't I helping Benben ask about the market conditions? Sooner or later, the burden of revitalizing the Yu Mansion will fall on Yu Benben's shoulders. Benben, you must work hard to practice. As long as you can become a bodybuilder Warlock, having three wives and four concubines will definitely not be a problem in the future.”
Ye Congwen quickly pulled Yu Benben over to take the blame, not wanting to cause trouble. Lin Xiaoyu glanced at Ye Congwen and smiled knowingly:
"Don't worry, Sister Xiaoyu is a reasonable person. I will definitely not ask you to marry only me for the rest of your life like some jealous women do. If it is for such a big thing as continuing the incense and procreating children, I will definitely open up to you. One sided.
But I think you will never have this opportunity. My mother has only given birth to sons. So far, she has five sons and one daughter. I think I will not be far behind in the future, haha! "
After Lin Xiaoyu finished speaking, he saw Ye Congwen and Yu Benben looking at him dumbfounded, and suddenly realized that what the girl said was indeed a bit excessive.
He quickly picked up the elixir and pretended to appreciate it. After not looking at it for a minute, he suddenly shouted:
"Brother Congwen, look! This elixir has dried up and is so hard that it doesn't look like it was just dug out?"
Yu Benben tilted his head and looked at it carefully for a long time, and agreed repeatedly:
"Sister Xiaoyu didn't tell me that I really didn't notice. This snow ginseng has dried like a tree root. It has been there for several years at least!"
"Ahem!"
Suddenly Yu Yueyue started coughing. Ye Congwen knew that the woman could no longer pretend, so he immediately walked over to help her up and told her not to ask further questions with a fierce wink.
"Benben, bring that snow ginseng over here and show it to me."
Yu Yueyue saw that Ye Congwen could not be summoned by him, so he ordered Yu Benben to come.
Lin Xiaoyu estimated that Yu Yueyue had woken up a long time ago. Thinking that she had been saying bad things about her parents just now, she was afraid that Yu Yueyue would settle a score with her, so she found any reason and sneaked home secretly.
As soon as Yu Benben handed the elixir to Yu Yueyue's hand, when he saw his cousin's expression was not kind, he was so frightened that his heart was beating wildly. He suddenly had an idea and said that his stomach was not feeling well, so he turned around and ran to the toilet.
In a blink of an eye, only Ye Congwen was left standing aside. Seeing Yu Yueyue staring at the snow ginseng expressionlessly, Ye Congwen tried to ease the atmosphere and had to joke:
"I really can't tell that once a person who is usually gentle and gentle gets angry, he is quite intimidating."
"You've already discovered that this is an old snow ginseng, right?"
