Just wait for this! Ye Congwen took out the gold bars compensated by the Jia family from his jade storage, poured them all onto the stone table with a clang, arranged them neatly, pointed to the more than two hundred gold bars that shone brightly and said:
"There are two hundred and sixty in total. Count the heads among yourselves to see if there are enough to reward you?"
The giant of Iron Tower Village had never seen so many gold bars before. The sun was shining brightly at this time, and the pile of gold bars shone so brightly that it was hard to open one's eyes.
Everyone was stunned and breathing heavily. If it weren't for Ye Congwen's amazing fighting power, they would all have the urge to rob.
"Everyone, please sit down! You don't know a lot of Chinese characters, how dare you try to get my gold bars?
Metal, wood, water, fire and earth?
Zhao Qian Sun Wang Li?
Can you write it? For the sake of the fact that we share the same roots, can we please spare you from writing a word? "
Ye Congwen looked at the giants of the Hua and Ye clans with great expectation, but unfortunately, they all scratched their heads and ears, but no one dared to stand up and write.
"Then I have no choice. You are not up to par. You can't even learn five words. You are twenty years old, and you are not as good as an eighty-nine-year-old bamboo shoot. It seems that sooner or later these gold bars will belong to the Mu clan. "
"Hmph! Xiao Congwen, the little clan leader, I think you are practicing favoritism right now. You know clearly that Mu Bamboo Shoots is taught by your sister Mu Dou Ya. We, the Hua Ye clan, don't even have anyone who can read. Who will teach us?"
"This is just telling lies with open eyes. Isn't anyone in our Huaye tribe literate? The patriarch of the tribe used to beg you to read and become literate. Have you listened to his words?
Besides, I, Ye Congwen, am not from the Huaye tribe? You can also ask me to teach you? "
"I object!"
Ye Wudi made his attitude clear immediately. He couldn't handle you when he was young and strong, so why should he ask for trouble when he is seventy or eighty? He waved his hand and said:
"As I said just now, if anything happens in the future, I'll go to Xiao Congwen and your new clan leader. The old man's words will never be followed!"
The giants of the two tribes, the Flower and the Leaf, looked at Ye Congwen eagerly. Could it be that Ye Congwen didn't understand their intentions? Replied with appreciation:
"Okay, okay! As a clan leader, I am very pleased to see you are so diligent and studious. However, I have always been very busy, and now that I am the clan leader, I am naturally even busier!
I will go to the Forbidden Circle to hunt monsters in 13579, and I will go to the Beast Mountain Range in 24680 to dig for elixirs and teach you how to read and write. That will have to wait until I am free. "
The giants were counting on their fingers for a long time. According to Ye Congwen's meaning, they had to hunt on odd days every month and dig up medicinal materials on double days. Then there was no time to teach everyone how to read and write! Doesn’t this make it clear that you don’t want to teach us?
Some people with a better temper and who still had some illusions about Ye Congwen mustered up the courage to ask:
"You don't have time during the day, can you teach us at night?"
"Do you think I'm just like you and have nothing to do? I naturally have to hold my wife to sleep at night. Who has time to mess around with you?"
Ye Congwen was dismissive. Now that he has a wife, how can he still hide and seek with you little brats like before?
Mudouya blushed instantly, and looking at everyone's normal looks, she wanted to rush out of the door.
Ye Zhihua's mind was spinning quickly, and at a glance he saw six instructors standing behind Ye Congwen, and asked in sudden realization:
"You don't have time. Don't the six mentors behind you also have time? Well, I won't force you while you are busy making humans with pigeon sprouts, but you have to ask these six mentors to teach us how to read and write."
Finally got to the point. Ye Wudi stroked his beard and secretly praised Ye Congwen for going in too long a circle, but he finally had a close call. The six mentors also nodded secretly. Ye Congwen had been setting traps for these giants for a long time. These ancestors and grandsons were worthy of being a family.
Qin Cheng was about to answer, saying that he was here to be your teacher. Suddenly, he heard Ye Congwen categorically rejecting:
"Nonsense! Six other tutors have been taking classes for a semester, and they are all so tired that they have lost dozens of kilograms. This time they came to our Tieta Village to go sightseeing and relax. How can I have time to teach you guys? Illiterate?
If they get mad at you idiots, where can I find a doctor to treat them? "
"Who says we are fools? We go hunting in the mountains or catch fish in the rivers. As long as we are willing to study hard, which one can't be learned and which one can't be learned?"
"Yes, yes! Xiao Congwen went to an apprenticeship camp. After learning some skills, he looked down on others. You don't have time to teach us. What's wrong with asking the instructor to teach us?"
"He doesn't have time. All he wants to do is get into bed with Pigeon Sprout and count these shining gold bars!"
"That's right, he just wants to put these gold bars in his wife's pocket, otherwise he would always push back."
The giants talked non-stop, and gradually they began to criticize each other. Ye Congwen saw that he had offended the public, so he had to take a step back and agreed:
"Since you are so determined, I have no choice but to lower my face and ask the six instructors to come to our Iron Tower Village for a few more days and teach you a few common words.
But I’m going to start with my ugly words. If you are just slacking off, fishing for three days, drying nets for two days, and still can’t learn ten words in ten days, I won’t help you to keep the six instructors angry when the time comes. "
Seeing Ye Congwen's submission, the giants hurriedly patted their chests and promised that they would study hard. They also swore that if anyone failed midway, they would be beaten or scolded as the instructor pleased.
Ye Congwen sneered:
"You guys are rough-skinned and thick-skinned. Don't break the rules of mentors like me who are thin and old. They say we are brothers and we have to settle the score. I'd better make it clear first to save you from lying in the future.
These six mentors are the top teachers in the apprenticeship camp and the best at teaching students. Of course, they are also the most expensive and best teachers. The three major Wuhou families in Lizhou Prefecture invite them with huge sums of money every year, but they have never been there once. Do you know the reason? "
"what reason?"
"First, the children of the three major Wuhou families are spoiled, disobedient to discipline, and disrespectful of their elders. They are unwilling to be humiliated.
Second, these six tutors have always collected money before working, and they have to sign contracts in advance. If it is your fault that makes them angry, such as disobeying discipline, contradicting teachers, even hitting teachers, and absenteeism for no reason. , pretending to be sick and skipping classes, etc.
Once that happens, they turn around and walk away, with no refund. You have to think about it, their monthly salary is two gold bars, six people need 24 gold bars in two months.
As the clan leader, I am the one who speaks first. You all should learn from it honestly. I spent this money personally and regard it as giving benefits to all the clan leaders.
If it was because of you that the six instructors left the show midway, I would be sorry. I don’t care who you are, whether you have any friendship with me or not. Whoever makes a mistake will be the one to pay for these twenty-four gold bars. If you can’t get it together, you will smash the pot and sell the iron for furniture. Think about it for yourselves.
Do we still need to learn to read and write? "
There was a commotion down there, everyone was arguing with each other with red faces, some insisted on learning, and some backed down, and it was very lively.
Ye Congwen greeted Mu Dou Ya, and Mu Dou Ya walked over shyly and asked in a low voice, coyly:
"What's up?"
Ye Congwen saw a small kettle tied to the back of the pigeon sprouts and said matter-of-factly:
"My mouth is smoking. Give me a drink from your bottle."
In the past, Douya Ya would have given the kettle without any hesitation, but today I heard Ye Congwen introduce herself to six tutors as his unmarried wife, and said that he would sleep with his wife in his arms at night and had no time to teach flowers. The giants of the two tribes of Ye learn things.
Even Ye Zhihua is talking nonsense about being busy making people at night - I have just turned sixteen, and I am still far from the age of twenty to get married!
Besides, Ye Congwen and I have not gone to the church to get married. Is it too fast to talk about creating a human being? Now drink my water, kiss my mouth at night, blow out the candle, pinch my waist and touch my legs in one step. This bad guy has always been full of tricks, what if he also tries to trick me?
Don't let him succeed. Pigeon sprouts growled:
"If you are thirsty, I will go back and help you make a pot of tea." Ye Congwen didn't wait for the pigeon sprouts to react, took the pot of tea away, and drank it all in one gulp.
Mudou Ya reluctantly took the empty kettle and didn't know what to say. He was about to retreat quietly when he was suddenly grabbed by Ye Congwen. He only heard the bad boy whispering to his ear:
"Little Douya, where is the wooden box for your dowry?"
"Why do you ask this?"
"You find time to free up the wooden box. I will use it to store things. You were right before. It is too careless to use sacks to store gold bars. If the bag breaks, the loss of the gold bars will be huge. ."
Mudouya suddenly raised his head. Does this mean he wants to put the two hundred and sixty gold bars into my box? Does he want me to keep the gold bars for him?
I heard that men teach their wives to take charge of their money. Isn’t it reasonable to leave so many gold bars to my fiancée?
At this time, I didn't care about Ye Congwen's conspiracy. I would keep the two hundred and sixty gold bars for him first, and then take the time to ask him how he got so many gold bars in the evening.
"Well, I'm going to go back and empty out the box. I'll give it to you after I clean it and dry it."
After Mudouya finished speaking, he ran to Ye Congwen's house. It involved two hundred and sixty gold bars, how could he delay?
The faces of the giants around him changed greatly. Ye Congwen really wanted to put the gold bars into his wife's pocket. It was no surprise that the pocket couldn't fit in, but he actually had to build a wooden box to put it in!
This clearly shows that he doesn’t want to reward us with any of them! It is tolerable, but what is intolerable? Isn’t it just reading and literacy? A skinny kid like Muzhuzhan can learn it, but there’s no reason why we can’t! Without thinking any more, they all answered in unison:
"Don't think about it, let's learn!"
"Think clearly, once I pay the deposit, there is no room for regret."
"I will never regret it! Anyone who regrets it will be struck by lightning!"
"It won't be a thunderstorm. Whoever regrets it will pay me twenty-four gold bars!"
Ye Congwen replied with a smile, disapproving of their oaths, who wouldn't be so talkative? Relatively speaking, gold bars have a much higher credibility.
The giants were so angry that they wanted to retort a few words, but when they thought of the scene where the old patriarch taught everyone how to read and write, they all shut up. After all, Ye Congwen was the only one among the Flower and Leaf clan who sat on a stone bench to practice writing. Ye Congwen saw clearly the scene where everyone took the opportunity to go up the tree to steal bird eggs and go down to the river to catch big fish.
Ye Congwen picked out twenty-four gold bars, distributed them to six instructors at a time, and then requested sincerely:
"Six mentors, I leave it to you, the giants of the Flower and Leaf Tribes. I will give you another test in two months, and the top ten will each receive two gold bars!"
"I can't guarantee this! The master will lead you in. Cultivation depends on the individual. If they don't work hard, I can't help it."
Mu Gan answered with a proud face, as if he was expecting one or two disobedient people to come out and cause trouble, so that he could turn around and leave. There is no other way. Since Ye Congwen has been splashed with dirty water, he might as well make a fool of himself to the end.
"Haha, the teacher is serious. Our Tieta Village is full of simple and hospitable villagers, how can we possibly make the teacher angry?
Let's go, let's take you to my house later to try my wife's craftsmanship. I also have two barrels of sorghum wine in my collection. Let's get drunk tonight! "
Seeing that the six mentors were about to be taken away by Ye Congwen to drink sorghum wine, those giants couldn't sit still. Sorghum wine has a high alcohol content and strong stamina. One drink will make you dizzy for at least two or three days, and there are only sixty days in total. If Ye Congwen were to drag six instructors out to drink at random intervals, once he became addicted, it would be useless to learn from him!
A few anxious people hurried forward to grab the six instructors and said to Ye Congwen:
"Mudouya is still at home waiting for you to come home and create a human. Little patriarch, please go home quickly to take a bath and go to bed. You don't need to worry about our affairs here!"
Ye Congwen tempted him again and again, but before he could finish his words, the giants squeezed him out. He left the ancestral hall and stood outside the closed door, listening to six instructors giving lectures at the same time. He let out a long breath and smiled. Then walked home.
