Ye Congwen heard Yu Yueyue's arrival and hurriedly walked outside.
Following the servant's footsteps, he arrived at the hall in a few minutes. I saw Yu Yueyue standing in the hall walking back and forth, her eyes swollen like walnuts.
"Yueyue, what's wrong?"
Ye Congwen saw that Yu Yueyue was in extremely bad condition, so he threw himself into his arms as soon as he saw him, for fear that something unexpected would happen.
"My mother fainted from anger and was rescued just now."
"What on earth is going on? Tell me."
Yu Yueyue saw that she was in the Lin Mansion and was afraid of disturbing others late at night, so she suggested:
"Let's go outside and talk. It's not convenient here."
Ye Congwen knew that Yu Yueyue had a good reputation, and was afraid that the people in the Lin Mansion would make fun of her mother after hearing this, so she had to follow Yu Yueyue outside.
Along the way, Yu Yueyue softly told the whole story.
It turned out that after Ye Congwen left, Lian Caihong quarreled with Mr. Yu. One of them scolded her for not caring about the overall situation and deliberately trying to kill the Yu family. One said that the man in the Yu Mansion was hopeless and irresponsible, and wanted to sell her daughter in order to gain glory and wealth. Gradually, he angered all the young masters in Yu Mansion and Yu Yueyue's uncles.
These people took the opportunity to seize power and settle accounts with Lian Caihong Qiuhou, saying that her management was poor and the profits of the family drug store were getting smaller and smaller year by year. This year was even more miserable, only half of previous years.
Everyone united to force Lian Caihong to submit, asking her to agree to let Ye Congwen come to Yu Mansion as her son-in-law, otherwise she would have to hand over the family's economic power.
Lian Caihong was so weak that he couldn't defeat everyone, so he started to talk about Ye Congwen's poverty, saying that Lian Caihong's daughter would never marry a poor man, even if he was a physical training magician.
Seeing that her mother always complained about Ye Congwen's lack of money, Yu Yueyue angrily took Ye Congwen's box of gold bars and placed it in front of Lian Caihong. It contained a hundred gold bars. Yu Yueyue poured the gold bars on the ground, one by one. Let Lian CaiHong see the number of roots.
This made the surrounding young masters of the Yu Mansion dumbfounded, and they all asked where the gold bars came from.
Yu Yueyue replied loudly:
"Ye Congwen won these gold bars one by one. Mom, you always think Ye Congwen is poor. You are rich, can you afford a hundred gold bars?"
Yu Yueyue was worried that her mother would continue to argue and argue, so in order to increase her persuasion, she took out two calf-thick four-color elixirs, pointed at the elixirs and introduced:
"This is a four-color elixir that is rare in the world. It weighs forty kilograms. According to the current market price in the apprentice camp, it is worth at least eighty gold bars. Moreover, the four-color elixir is currently available in the entire Lizhou Prefecture. .
This is what Ye Congwen won back. What I want to say is: Ye Congwen can easily take out two hundred gold bars, and he is also the winner of the treasure of forging a tripod. He can become a body-forging warlock just around the corner. I just want to ask Mom, tell me, such an outstanding man is not worthy of your daughter, what kind of person is? "
Everyone in the Yu Mansion was silent, all staring at Lian Caihong, wanting to see how she would quibble!
Lian Caihong looked at the gold bars and elixirs, pointed at Yu Yueyue angrily and cursed:
"Yu Yueyue, you are so good! You actually went against me for a man. I have raised you for eighteen years in vain. Today there is me without him, and there is him without me! If you insist on leaving with Ye Congwen, I will never let you go. Just pretend I never gave birth to you——"
Suddenly his face turned pale and his eyes were scarlet. He was so angry that he couldn't even breathe, so he fainted. This frightened Yu Yueyue, and she quickly ran over and hugged Lian Caihong, crying and shouting.
Mr. Yu stepped forward and took a breath, his face changed drastically, and he quickly summoned someone to invite the doctor.
Uncle Yu stood aside and stared at the young master who was about to make a move. He stepped forward and put the gold bars into the wooden box one by one. He rubbed the four-color elixir for a long time and handed the gold bars and elixir to Yu Yueyue for safekeeping. Then he shouted coldly to everyone:
"No one can talk about the gold bars and elixir to the outside world. Once someone with powerful power and evil intentions finds out, Yu Yueyue's life will be in danger. Did you hear that?"
Everyone nodded, now only the body training warlock can help Yu Mansion continue the land enfeoffment, and only Yu Yueyue, a quasi body training warlock, Ye Congwen, can retain. If Yu Yueyue has a shortcoming and loses her land enfeoffment rights and rental income, the future livelihood of the brothers in the Yu Mansion will be in doubt, let alone a wealthy and generous life.
Furthermore, who was Ye Congwen? That was a man of genius who could win two hundred gold bars in just one semester through martial arts competitions! If he brings everyone's gambling money with him when he competes in martial arts in the future, he can only win dozens of times a year, and he is guaranteed to be popular every year! How can you offend such a financial owner?
Although the young master of the Yu Mansion does not have a proper job, he is shrewd and tactful, and his ability to judge the situation and avoid harm is outstanding.
Each one of them quickly swore that they would never reveal a word, and they agreed to supervise each other. If anyone dared to reveal the secret, he would be immediately expelled from the Yu Mansion and all his dividends and living expenses would be cancelled.
When the doctor announced that practicing Caihong was not life-threatening, it was just a temporary fainting, and it would only take a few days to recover. The young master of the Yu Mansion immediately remembered that Ye Congwen had run away in anger, and they all made plans to get him back.
After Uncle Yu gave an order, dozens of young men took the initiative to join the search team, and it didn't take long for Ye Congwen's whereabouts to be determined. Everyone thought that only Yu Yueyue's intervention could bring him back, so they all encouraged Yu Yueyue to come and pick him up.
When Ye Congwen listened to Yu Yueyue's explanation of the whole story, he knew that everyone in the Yu Mansion was planning on him, hoping that he would join the Yu Mansion, become a body-forging warlock, and join the Demon Hunting Guard, so that the Yu Mansion could continue to have land enfeoffment rights.
It’s simply wishful thinking! Not to mention Lian Caihong's words were so unpleasant, even if she treated her as her own child like Jiang Xiao'e, I, Ye Congwen, would not be able to do such a thing as marrying into another family, which would be a disgrace to my ancestors!
Without even thinking about it, he refused:
"Your mother's condition has just stabilized. If I rush over there and offend her again, wouldn't it be a bad thing?
It's better to wait until she calms down later. I'll stay at Lin Mansion tonight, and I'll go back to Tieta Village tomorrow to buy some New Year's goods. You'd better not mention me in front of your mother these days.
When I get the tripod-making medicine next year, become a body-forging warlock, join the Demon Hunter Guard, gain land enfeoffment rights, and become a prominent family in Wanquan County, then I can go to the Yu Mansion to propose marriage, and maybe your mother won't object. . "
Seeing that Ye Congwen was right, Yu Yueyue nodded, took out Ye Congwen's luggage from the jade storage, grabbed seven or eight gold bars and stuffed them into Ye Congwen's wallet, while carrying a wooden box He ordered:
"I'm not with you. Remember to keep your money bag and don't let it stolen by thieves. There are eighteen gold bars in this rosewood box. You can return it to Lin Xiaoyu later. The Lin Mansion has been on hand recently. You are not well off, her grandfather gave you nine gold bars, and now we will return double the amount, so I will not blame you for not taking good care of Lin Xiaoyu."
Ye Congwen only nodded in agreement. It turned out that Yu Yueyue had already planned it, so there was no need to speak on his own.
"I originally wanted to accompany you to buy New Year's goods and a few new sets of clothes tomorrow, and then go to Iron Tower Village with you to celebrate the New Year. Now it seems I can't go. You won't blame me, right?"
Yu Yueyue asked embarrassedly. With such an overbearing and unreasonable mother, her face felt dull. I originally planned to surprise Ye Congwen and accompany him to Tieta Village to celebrate the New Year, but I didn't expect that things would turn out like this.
"Your mother is the only daughter like you. You should spend time with her during the Chinese New Year. If you want to spend the Chinese New Year with me in Iron Tower Village, there will be many opportunities in the future."
Ye Congwen asked Lian Caihong to make such a fuss, and he no longer expected Yu Yueyue to go to Tieta Village with him to celebrate the New Year. With Lian Caihong's attitude towards him, if he chased Lian Caihong to cause trouble in Tieta Village, wouldn't it be a joke to the whole village? ?
The quarrel was a minor matter, but if a fight broke out, my marriage to Yu Yueyue would be really hopeless.
Yu Yueyue saw that there was no look of expectation on Ye Congwen's face, and she felt really depressed. If it hadn't been for the bad things like tonight, he would have been happy for most of the day.
Yu Yueyue knew that what her own mother said tonight was extremely excessive and hurtful. If it had been anyone else, she would have become furious. However, Ye Congwen always held back and did not say anything bad to Lian Caihong. If it were not for his own sake, and based on Ye Congwen's eloquence, I am afraid that none of the ten Lian Caihong would be his opponent.
"Then I'm leaving. You have a good rest. If my mother wakes up tomorrow, I will come out to accompany you to buy New Year's goods, okay?"
Men and women in love always want to be together. In the apprentice camp, the two of them stayed together every day and had no chance to realize it. Once separated, they immediately feel the same.
"If our love lasts for a long time, how can we live together day and night? When I get the treasure of forging the tripod, no one can stop us from being together!"
Ye Congwen reminded calmly, holding up Yu Yueyue's fair and smooth face, and kissed her tender and attractive red lips. Until Yu Yueyue became shy and was afraid of being seen by people in the Lin Mansion, he quickly pushed Ye Congwen away. , pretending to be angry and blamed:
"You, like a crow, talk nonsense all day long. Now it works. When will you build the magpie bridge properly?"
Ye Congwen laughed dumbly, and suddenly remembered a few lines of limericks he had made up: The golden wind and jade dew separate the stars, and the magpie bridge needs a rainbow.
Isn’t this a true prophecy and quite appropriate for the occasion? As long as Lian Caihong doesn't agree for one day, won't he and Yu Yueyue become the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl?
Sure enough, you can eat random things, but you can't talk nonsense. Ye Congwen smiled and had no choice but to answer:
"If you don't match the rainbow, I will do it myself! Don't worry, you, Yu Yueyue, will definitely be able to get married when you are twenty!"
Yu Yueyue saw that Ye Congwen's voice was getting louder and louder, and she was afraid that if he said nonsense, if people in the Lin Mansion heard it, wouldn't he laugh at me behind my back again in the future?
While Ye Congwen was not paying attention, Yu Yueyue hurriedly ran to Yu Mansion, closed the door, revealing only a pretty face, made a face at Ye Congwen, turned around and ran away.
