"Do you also know the ancient holy ruins on Junshan Mountain?"
Murong Lian asked in surprise that the ancient holy ruins on Junshan Mountain were discovered by the seniors of Duke Zhu's Mansion. The Bian Mansion was just a small Wuhou family. Where did they get such confidential information?
"Not only do I know, but I also know the specific hiding place of the Ancient Saint Ruins, because I have half a map of the Ancient Saint Ruins."
Bian Wanqing answered seriously, taking out a simple parchment scroll and handing it to Ye Congwen for review.
Ye Congwen opened the parchment and looked at it carefully. He found that the landscape paths inside were clearly marked, but it was a pity that there was only half of it.
Murong Lian observed what was happening. When she saw Ye Congwen studying the parchment attentively, she also lowered her head and looked at it again. She saw that the map was very clearly marked.
"Ye Congwen, do you think this map is real?"
Ye Congwen drew several circles on the parchment scroll with his fingers, measured it, and then nodded and replied:
"This map was indeed copied from the mountain peak, but unfortunately it was cut into two pieces. If both parchments were there, it would be much easier to find the site of this ancient saint."
When Murong Lian heard this, she expressed her stance:
"Sister Wan Qing, this half of the parchment scroll is of great reference value. Bring the remaining pictures with you. Maybe it will be of great help when the time comes."
Ye Congwen returned the parchment to Bian Wanqing. Unexpectedly, the woman didn't want it at all, and signaled Ye Congwen to take it and study it carefully. Anyway, he had been looking at it for several years and couldn't see the result.
It's better to leave this kind of brain-consuming thing to Ye Congwen to meditate, and just follow him to pick up the mistakes.
"We will make a decision after the news about Zhang Zui and Bi Yan comes back. The top priority now is to return to Tieta Village as soon as possible."
Ye Congwen watched as the sky began to get brighter. Based on his own footsteps, he should be approaching the county seat of Wanquan County.
Ye Congwen turned back to Yu Yueyue and asked:
"Yueyue, are you going back to Yu Mansion, or are you going directly to Tieta Village with me?"
Yu Yueyue was busy going to Iron Tower Village to hand over gold bars, and by the way, she let the giant and the child brides see her feat of investing 10,000 gold bars to build a house. Without thinking, he replied:
"Of course I will go back to Iron Tower Village with you. It's not far away anyway. After I finish my business, I can go back and say hello at some time."
"That's right. When you marry a chicken, follow the chicken. When you marry a dog, follow the dog. How can you run away to your parents' house without waiting for your husband's family? People who don't know better would think that we, our sisters, are abusing you!"
Bian Wanqing joked from the side, seeing the two beauties Bian Wanqing and Yu Yueyue getting along so harmoniously, Bian Qianqian was really uncomfortable watching from behind.
Before, I thought that the two of them would be at odds with each other. After all, with Bian Wanqing's self-centered personality, how could he get along with Yu Yueyue, a jealous little man who eats alone?
It doesn't look like he is acting. Could it be that Ye Congwen is good at controlling women and has tamed both of them?
Bian Qianqian followed him all the way to Tieta Village with a lot of questions. From a distance, she saw Mudouya leading more than a hundred child brides to greet Ye Congwen. Bian Qianqian joked:
"Xiao Dou Ya, you are becoming more and more like a big sister now! It seems that I can't call you Xiao Dou Ya anymore." Xiao Dou Ya saw Bian Qianqian at a glance, and immediately ran up and hugged Bian Qianqian happily. asked:
"Sister Qianqian! Why did the wind bring you here? I haven't seen you for more than half a year. I heard from Sister Xiaoyu that you are now the eldest lady of the Bian Mansion and the future head. Fa came to visit our Tower Village?"
Bian Qianqian glanced at Bian Wanqing apologetically, and then replied with a smile:
"Before, it was because I was too busy and couldn't leave. In the future, I will have more time to come and play with you. I am afraid that you might think that I come too often and delay your serious work of building Wanqing Palace.
By the way, I heard that Brother Congwen built a big house for my sister Wanqing that cost 30,000 gold bars and covers an area of 3,000 acres. Can you take me up there to open my eyes? "
"There is no need for 30,000 gold bars. How can we get so much money?"
The pigeon pea sprouts are full of money, and it’s over after spending 20,000 gold bars. Where can I get 10,000 gold bars?
"Sister Douya, please call Xiaoyu first and ask her to accompany Captain Bian to see how the house is completed. We three sisters also need to discuss whether we should recruit thousands more craftsmen to work on it."
Yu Yueyue hurriedly interrupted, telling Mudouya from beginning to end the idea that she and Bian Wanqing had discussed for several days. Mudouya was so panicked that she immediately asked:
"Sister, if you rush the construction deadline and hire thousands more craftsmen, it will cost at least several thousand more gold bars. All the money I have on hand will be spent. I'm afraid it won't work to add more craftsmen to rush the work."
"You don't have to worry about money. I still have 5,000 gold bars. If it's not enough, I can collect 6,500 gold bars in three days. It will definitely be no problem to pay the craftsmen. Our house It must be completed before the end of the year. Wouldn’t it be nice to spend the New Year in the new house?”
Yu Yueyue answered confidently that her jade reserve contained five thousand gold bars, thirteen tripod-shaped elixirs, and more than ten thousand gold bars. How could she be short of money?
Without saying a word, he took Mudouya and Bian Wanqing to find the craftsmen to discuss sending more help.
Murong Lian and Jia Zhenzhu walked for a day and night, and were already tired and sleepy. Surrounded by a group of child brides, they went to the child bride's house to bathe and sleep.
Bian Qianqian was the only one standing there, waiting for Lin Xiaoyu to come and take her to visit the house. Unfortunately, several child brides ran over to inform Lin Xiaoyu, but the girl went with the giant to chop down towering trees in the Beast Mountain Range.
When several child brides were preparing to take Bian Qianqian on a tour, Ye Congwen had no choice but to step forward:
"You guys go make a fire and cook. We are all hungry after walking all day and all night. Let's make some food first to fill everyone's stomachs."
The child brides received the order and ran quickly into the house one by one.
"Ye Congwen, your little wives are all like bean sprouts. They are all good at washing, cooking, and making beds and folding quilts. It seems that my sister Wan Qing will definitely not be wronged if she follows you in the future."
Bian Qianqian sighed with a smile, her beautiful eyes staring at Ye Congwen, the meaning of which was self-evident.
"Of course, she is the eldest lady of your Bian Mansion. If she follows me and still cooks, if your Bian Mansion ancestors find out later, why don't you come to settle accounts with me?"
Ye Congwen answered with a smile, and while leading Bian Qianqian to the new house, he introduced where the living room was and where the courtyard was. "The first room on the left hand belongs to Bian Wanqing, the first room on the right hand belongs to Yu Yueyue, the second room on the left hand belongs to Jia Zhenzhu, and the second room on the right hand belongs to Douya Ya. According to this logical reasoning, the third room on the left hand should be Lin Xiaoyu, the third room on the right belongs to Murong Lian, so where is my yard, Bian Qianqian?"
Bian Qianqian walked to a quiet place, stopped Ye Congwen and asked.
Ye Congwen was stunned for a moment, looking at the woman with burning eyes in front of him. He came over for a long time before answering:
"The house in Bian Mansion is bigger and more beautiful than that in Tieta Village. It's convenient to live in Lizhou. Why live in a remote place like Tieta Village?"
"No, Ye Congwen, when did you become so stingy? You gave each of the one hundred and twenty-eight child brides a room. What's the relationship between the two of us? Back then, you taught the giants how to practice in the apprentice camp. When I was young, you often stayed at my house. As a human being, you must never forget your roots."
Bian Qianqian became angry immediately. She didn't expect that she was worse than a child bride now. Her heart ached and her eyes became moist as soon as she turned around.
Ye Congwen remained silent and came over for a long time before persuading:
"Qianqian, stop messing around. You are now the future head of the Bian Mansion. It's hard-earned, so you have to cherish it. If you still can't tell me clearly, what if rumors spread to the ears of your ancestors later? manage?
Bian Wanqing is a lesson learned from the past. "
"I just want a small house. When I have time, I will come to Tieta Village for a vacation. What are you thinking about? Do you also want me to imitate my sister Wan Qing and leave the entire Bian Mansion to live with you? Do you make a living by hunting in these ravines?
I am already in my thirties, how can I be as young and impulsive as her? Do you think I am still the sixteen-year-old girl I was before? "
Bian Qianqian took a step forward, looked up at Ye Congwen's familiar face, turned around and saw the silence around her, raised her head stubbornly and asked:
"Little Ye Zi, if I follow my sister Wanqing's example and abandon her and live together in Iron Tower Village, will you take me in?"
Ye Congwen's pupils expanded rapidly. He didn't expect Bian Qianqian to express her feelings so boldly, and for a moment she didn't know how to answer. Looking at that beautiful silhouette, I remembered every bit of the past between the two of them. They braved the wilderness battlefield together, hunted monsters in the Hundred Beasts Mountains together, and even slept in the same cave together, cuddling and kissing each other.
Ye Congwen suddenly seemed to have touched his heartstrings, and was about to take a step forward, but when he thought about Bian Qianqian finally realizing his dream, if he nodded, once this woman impulsively abandons the future head of Bian Mansion, she will live with him. In Iron Tower Village, her parents were afraid that she would soon become a mandarin duck who practiced rainbow and double bridge.
Ye Congwen calmed down his mind and sternly refused:
"It's enough for me to take in one Bian Wanqing. You should go back and be your eldest lady in the Bian Mansion. You also know that I have many wives. I have more than a hundred wives at the age of eighteen. In a few years, I'm afraid I will have at least one daughter-in-law." There are two hundred of them, even if you follow me, I will have no time to care about you."
Bian Qianqian was furious. She put her arms around Ye Congwen's neck and kissed him without saying a word. After coming for a long time, she angrily scolded:
"Ye Congwen, do you want to be irresponsible? You kissed me and hugged me, and even took off your pants. Now you don't want to be responsible. Ye Congwen, I, Bian Qianqian, left my words here today. No matter what Do you agree or not? I, Bian Qianqian, have decided to live in Wanqing Palace. If you dare to drive me away, I will go to the commander and accuse you of molesting me!"
