"People need to be flexible and changeable. If others don't want to go to the mountains with you, you can come and live in the city with others. Have you ever heard of a son-in-law who comes to your house? Find a son-in-law from a well-off family, and you are a strong person. If a martial arts practitioner has land, as long as he is diligent, can he still starve to death?
Let me tell you, there is a family like this in our branch of Yu Mansion. The mother and father depend on each other for life. The family also has more than ten acres of fertile land. The girl was born petite and exquisite. If you are willing, I will ask her mother and father to come over to meet you tomorrow! "
Ye Congwen saw that Yu Yueyue's fourth aunt was talking more and more vigorously and seemed to be serious about it. This was not a good sign. As he was thinking about how to refuse, a gust of fragrance suddenly hit him.
When he looked up, he saw Yu Yueyue saying politely:
"Hello, fourth aunt and fifth aunt. Grandpa said that Ye Congwen is a guest and you have to sit at the same table with him. It just so happens that he has something to ask Ye Congwen. I will take him there first and let him accompany you after dinner. Talk to relieve boredom."
Yu Yueyue has been knowledgeable about etiquette since she was a child, and she is deeply loved by Mr. Yu. The whole family is respectful to her, and when she opens her mouth, they have to agree repeatedly.
Seeing that Yu Yueyue had arrived at just the right time, Ye Congwen quickly followed Yu Yueyue to Mr. Yu's table.
"Xiao Congwen, come sit next to Grandpa Yu and tell me the interesting things you did in the apprentice camp, so that I, an old man, can also enjoy the vitality of young people."
Ye Congwen saw Mr. Yu and the old lady sitting together, with the Yu siblings in the middle and Yu Yueyue's parents opposite. Without thinking, he sat down next to Yu Benben. He greeted the elders for a few words before sitting still in his seat. Waiting for the Yu parents to ask questions.
Seeing that there was still an empty seat at the table, Mr. Yu called Uncle Yu over, and then asked kindly:
"Is the food good in the apprentice camp? I think you seem to have grown a lot. You used to be the same height as my granddaughter. Just now I saw that you seemed to be half a head taller than her. The age of fifteen or sixteen is the time to grow taller. But don’t go hungry. Just tell your sister Yueyue what you want to eat in the apprentice camp. If a martial artist doesn’t have a strong body, how can he improve his level?"
Ye Congwen nodded in agreement. Just as he was about to speak, Uncle Yu said first:
"Yueyue, have you used up the box of gold coins that grandpa gave you? If you don't have enough money, just ask me. Third uncle still has some savings. As long as you follow the right path, I will support you unconditionally."
"Thank you, third uncle. The money grandpa gave us is enough. Ye Congwen - after all, the food expenses for the three of us are included in the tuition."
Yu Yueyue saw that her third uncle's eyes were burning and quite unkind, and she couldn't figure out what his intentions were, so she had to answer cautiously.
"Oh? I've known since I was little that my niece is good at managing money. Let's show it to everyone to see how much you have left after one semester, so that you can set an example for your extravagant cousins!"
Ye Congwen felt bad. Uncle Yu was trying to make use of the topic! I guess he listened to all the random words I made up. He was trying to find a way to punish me! He turned around and glanced at the direct sons of the Yu Mansion scattered in various corners, and all of them looked at Yu Yueyue with wide eyes, unconvinced.
"Third uncle, let's forget it. Today is a great day. It's rare for the whole family to get together, so let's eat first."
Yu Yueyue knew the virtues of her cousins. If she followed them, her third uncle would definitely use the topic to reprimand them. If there was a quarrel, it would be a joke to Ye Congwen.
But the young masters of the Yu Mansion are not vegetarians. The consumption of the Demon Hunter Apprentice Camp is astronomical. I heard that the Lin Mansion next door emptied all the Lin Mansion's wealth in order to train Lin Xiaohu and the three brothers! She thought that no matter how careful Yu Yueyue was, if three people spent a hundred gold coins, they would definitely not have a few left. If she spends all the money, Uncle Yu will no longer be qualified to make irresponsible remarks in front of everyone.
The smart-minded people quickly spoke up to help:
"Yueyue, just take it out and let us open our eyes. We brothers really want to learn from you how to live a prudent life."
Yu Yueyue repeatedly refused. Dozens of cousins became more and more interested as they talked. They all expected that Yu Yueyue had spent all the gold coins so they did not dare to take them out. They all said excitedly:
"Sister Yue, could it be that you have spent all your money lavishly, and you are afraid that everyone will laugh at you? Don't worry, you go to the apprentice camp to practice, it is for the future of the family, at worst, let grandpa take your money next semester If the funding is doubled, we’ll be fine if we spend less!”
Yu Yueyue saw that these cousins began to sarcastically mock the old man for favoring her. In order to set the record straight, she reached out and took out the box containing the gold coins from the jade storage. When she pressed the button, the lid slowly popped open, and the golden coins inside were all neat and tidy. Standing on less ground.
"This, this, this! Why are none of them useful? Don't you even have to pay tuition?"
Everyone was shocked and found it incredible. Uncle Yu kept smiling bitterly. It seemed that what Ye Congwen said was all true. This niece was good at everything, but she just followed her mother's bad habits of being a miser. He stood up suddenly and scolded with a straight face:
"Yu Yueyue, you are too shameless. Entering the apprentice camp to practice is a matter of life and death for our Yu Mansion. How can you lose a big deal for a small amount? You save all the money and don't spend it. You don't have enough elixirs. The three of you take it. What increases strength?
No wonder Yu Benben and Ye Congwen have made no progress at all. You have blocked all their co-authorships. Are you trying to save a dowry? Don't worry, even if your parents are stingy and don't give you any dowry, my third uncle will definitely give you all his savings over the years. Are twenty gold bars enough? "
Everyone was shocked. After a long time, it turned out that the third uncle was looking for trouble with Yu Yueyue! This was premeditated! The Young Master of the Yu Mansion hurriedly stepped out of the way, and everyone sat back in their original positions and started eating. When they heard that Uncle Yu still had twenty gold bars in savings, everyone was thinking about how to interact with him more in the future.
"Yu Laosan, why are you so crazy? Who are you saying is stingy? The two of them are not as talented in cultivation as Yueyue, and naturally their progress cannot keep up with my daughter. Can I blame my daughter for this?
My daughter's body of a thousand gold is missing your twenty gold bars? Yu Yueyue, tell your third uncle the conditions for not marrying, so that his bad temper will not flare up again and he will kill people indiscriminately. "
When Lian Caihong saw that his daughter had been wronged, he immediately came out to defend her. Lian Caihong has been building authority in the Yu Mansion for a long time. Once he gets angry, everyone except the old man, the old lady and Uncle Yu will be frightened into silence.
"Mom, we don't talk to each other, and my third uncle scolded me because I didn't know what was going on. It's not like you don't know that he is impatient. You are my sister-in-law, why should you be like him?
Let me tell the truth, these gold coins were actually won by Ye Congwen from martial arts competitions. If you don’t believe me, you can ask Yu Benben. "
In order to resolve the conflict, Yu Yueyue did not care about Ye Congwen's plans. It was business to solve the problem at hand first. Besides, it was also a matter of gaining face for him. She was about to show off to her family.
Everyone looked at the calm Ye Congwen, unable to see the reason, and then turned to look at Yu Benben.
"Bengben, don't panic, just tell the truth. With grandpa here, no one will make things difficult for you."
Seeing the child's frightened expression, Mr. Yu thought he was afraid, so he quickly comforted him.
Yu Benben secretly glanced at Ye Congwen and saw that he had no objection, so he said:
"Brother Congwen is an individual practitioner, and his combat power is the most powerful in the entire martial arts camp. He charges a gold bar every time he competes with others. After one semester, he pays for all the expenses of the three of us. He also uses The gold bars were exchanged for a lot of elixirs for Sister Yueyue and I to take. Unfortunately, my talent is average and I have never been able to advance to the perfection realm of martial arts. However, I have a hunch that within a month at most, I will definitely advance to the perfection realm!"
"Little Benben, are you lying! Why is he still at the perfection level of a martial arts master if he is so powerful? The guards said that he had a tie with his third uncle half a year ago, and his third uncle is a master of the perfection level of a grandmaster. How do you explain it? ?”
"I'll explain this myself. You can win a gold bar in a fight. Where can you find such a good thing? If I advance to the Grandmaster realm, which apprentice in the martial arts realm will challenge me for a duel? They are not Fool!
Brothers, do you think this is the gift? There are white flowers - they are golden gold bars. If I don't want them, you think I'm stupid! Brother, I am getting older every day, and I have no business acumen and no family dividends. If I don’t take the opportunity to save some betrothal gifts, how will I marry a wife in the future?
As for improving my strength, I am not yet sixteen years old, so I will have plenty of time in the future. "
Seeing that Yu Benben couldn't resist, Ye Congwen took the words and said casually.
Yu Yueyue was speechless when she saw Ye Congwen telling lies in a coherent and reasonable manner. What's even more incredible is that all his cousins are surrounding Ye Congwen and asking questions as if they have found a treasure.
"Brother Congwen, what exactly is your method of playing martial arts and betting on gold bars? Is it two-for-one or ten-for-one, with or without a buying code?"
This stumped Ye Congwen. He didn't even know what a casino looked like, so how could he understand these professional terms? I had no choice but to answer honestly:
"We are all rough guys who practice martial arts. We don't have that many tricks. We always pay one for one. No matter how much you dare to bet, others will bet as much as you dare. All the gold bars are delivered on site, and the gambling funds are placed in the hands of the middleman. Whoever wins gets it. Yu Yueyue She often acts as a middleman to collect money. If you don’t believe me, you can ask her.”
Twenty brothers from the Yu Mansion caught Yu Yueyue and questioned her for a long time. When they got the answer, they were all excited. According to Yu Benben's introduction, this guy is an individual cultivator. His strength can be doubled after taking the elixir. Wouldn't he be sure to win against someone of the same level? One by one he asked tentatively:
"Brother Ye, you are so good, wouldn't you make a fortune in one semester? How much money have you won? How much has been the most you have won in one session?"
"How can you win money every day? People are not invincible. Martial arts competitions are very physically demanding. I have to rest for at least two or three days after every fight. When it comes to how much I have won at most in one session, I remember it was forty gold bars!"
Hearing the forty gold bars, the Young Master of the Yu Mansion and even Yu Yueyue's grandparents and parents gasped in shock. This was half a year's profit of the Yu Mansion! The market was not good this year, and the Yu Mansion only earned a total of forty gold bars, which was only half of previous years. Unexpectedly, Ye Congwen won it back in a single competition.
So the question is, whose second fool is so rich?
