Chapter 1 Getting Rich? I disagree!
"Martial artist, through the tendons, the purple mansion, the essence of the element, the condensation of the element is like the ...... of the sea"
"Cultivate the spirit fetus, awaken the spirit of the fetus, enter the Tao with martial arts, explain the original heart, and give birth to mysterious ......"
This is a small courtyard with green bricks and green tiles, and there is an old tree with a crooked neck in the center of the courtyard, and under the tree there is a young man, holding a scripture scroll in his hand, and reciting it in a low voice. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Looking at the young man's frowning face, he should be very attentive at the moment.
The boy was about seventeen or eighteen years old, with beautiful eyebrows and eyes, a white complexion, and long hair tied up by a slender blue satin.
"Chen'er, how many times have you read this volume of "Martial Arts", you were born with a unique pulse and can't practice martial arts, how can you comprehend the essence of it?"
At some point, the door opened, and a middle-aged woman walked into the courtyard and came to the young man.
This woman seems to be middle-aged, but she has a slender figure, apricot eyes and a sandalwood mouth, even if she is wearing plain clothes, her face is pale, she is also graceful, and her beauty is vague.
"Mother, although I was born unable to practice martial arts, as the saying goes, 'read a book a hundred times and its meaning will appear by itself', I have read it many times, and I will understand it sooner or later."
The young man smiled like the wind, as if full of confidence.
"Since you didn't die in that catastrophe, you have been studying this volume of "Martial Arts", and it has been two years now, don't say it a hundred times, even if it is thousands of times, how much do you understand?"
The woman moved a stone pier and sat beside the young man, and when she looked at the young man, the expression on her face was a little complicated, there was love and hope, but more of it was helplessness and guilt.
"Hehe, I understand a little bit."
The young man scratched his head embarrassedly, then put down the scroll in his hand and asked curiously, "Mother, how is today's test?" Did Cousin Yunshang pass? ”
"Of course she passed, not only did she pass, but the results were amazing."
The woman paused, then looked at her son, and saw that the curiosity on her son's face was even worse, and she continued: "Yunshang has now opened up the second vein of Rendu, and the essence has been poured into the Purple Mansion. ”
"Wow! Wouldn't that have at least reached the seventh order of the martial vein! The boy couldn't help but exclaim, and the curiosity on his face was replaced by envy.
"It seems that she should be the eighth order of the martial vein, and it is very likely that she will advance to the martial yuan stage before the age of eighteen."
The woman stretched out a hand and put it on the young man's shoulder, her face became even more gloomy, and she said, "I know that you and Yunshang have some affection, but it is impossible for the two of you. ”
"Mother, children are not delusional." The young man shrugged his shoulders, although his words showed self-knowledge, it could be seen from his expression when he bowed his head at this time that he seemed to be unwilling.
The mother and son fell silent together.
The sun is setting in the west, the twilight is getting stronger, and the autumn wind that has penetrated the cold has blown off a few dead leaves on the old trees.
After a long time, the woman spoke again and said, "Chen'er, you will be eighteen years old in a few days, and the clan has prepared a marriage for you." ”
"Marriage?" The boy was surprised.
"Yes, marriage."
It is said that her son is going to get married and start a family, and the woman should feel happy and relieved, but for some reason, the woman's tone at this time is a little stiff and trembling.
"Why are you preparing for my marriage? Yi Xuan and Yi Hao are two or three years older than me, and they should be prepared for marriage for them! The young man was puzzled and puzzled.
"Yi Xuan, Yi Hao, they are different from you, they can cultivate, but you can't." The woman's face grew more and more sorrowful.
"Ugh."
The young man sighed and asked again, "Which girl is it?" ”
"Beichi Min of the Beichi family, you should know each other." The woman replied softly.
"What?"
The young man stood up, his face was incredulous, and he glared and said, "Is that the ugly-looking and brutal Beichi Min?" Is there any mistake? ”
"That's right, it's her."
The woman was still very calm, she first pulled her son to sit down, and then added: "Beichi Min is indeed not popular, but after all, she is the descendant of the Beichi family, and she is the daughter of the head of the Beichi family, Beichi Lei." ”
"That is, Beichi Min is also a daughter with status and status, and people may not be willing to marry me." The young man tilted his head, looking very unhappy.
"You're wrong, it's not that she got married, it's ......"
At this point, the woman couldn't help but take a deep breath, and the corners of her eyes twitched slightly, showing the excitement in her heart.
"And what?" The young man was even more dazed, thinking in his heart, it would be better if she didn't marry, so I shouldn't marry her as a wife.
"It's you who join her house."
The woman finished this sentence word by word, and after finishing speaking, the original look on her face was suddenly swept away, and the whole person seemed to have withered a lot, as if this sentence had exhausted all her energy.
"What? Join her family? ”
The young man couldn't help but stand up again, stunned like a wooden chicken.
"Yes." The woman nodded, but she was already weak.
"I disagree!"
The young man did not hesitate and said categorically: "I know that this is a political marriage between families, and I know that the family needs me to make sacrifices and use my wealth to curry favor with the Beichi family, but ...... Why? ”
Marrying a woman he hates so much, and he is still rich, normal men will be resistant, not to mention that this teenager is not an ordinary man.
"Why? I'll tell you why! ”
At this moment, a majestic and deafening voice came from the gate of the courtyard, and then I saw a middle-aged man with a slightly chubby body walking in with four gray-haired old men.
"I've seen the head of the family, I've seen the four elders."
The woman quickly got up, bowed, and behaved very respectfully.
"Yi Chen, tell you the truth, how has your uncle treated you in the past eighteen years?"
Some middle-aged men who have made fortune are Yi Nianzong, the head of the Yi family, he is wearing a brocade robe, a thin blue belt at the waist, although he is not tall, he also has thick eyebrows and big eyes, and he is a little mighty, but when he speaks at this moment, his face is quite soft.
"The head of the family, you provide food and clothing for our mother, let us live a rich and idle life, and naturally treat us very well."
Before the young Yi Chen could speak, his mother had already spoken back.
It can be seen from Yi Nianzong's title that Yi Chen's mother and Yi Nianzong should be brother and sister, and it can also be guessed that Yi Chen followed his mother's surname.
"Nianyu, I didn't ask you."
Yi Nianzong glanced at his sister, and then continued to stare at his nephew Yi Chen.
"I admit that my mother and I live on the family's supplication, and the family has nurtured me, but can I arrange my life's events at will based on this alone?" Yi Chen raised his head proudly, neither humble nor arrogant.
"Hehe, in the past two years, your kid's ability has not grown, but his temper has grown a lot."
Yi Nianzong circled around Yi Chen, and finally faced Yi Chen, and said with a sneer: "It's more than enough just what you just said." ”
"I disagree!" Yi Chen expressed his attitude again, but his expression seemed very calm.
"We're just informing you and we're not going to ask for your opinion."
Yi Nianzong's smile was even stronger, and a hand seemed to be lightly patted on Yi Chen's shoulder, but it made Yi Chen's body directly half a foot shorter, and then he said condescendingly: "Everyone in the family must make their own contribution to the prosperity of the family, and others use strong force to contribute, and if you obey the arrangement of the family, honestly join the Beichi family, and serve that Beichi Min thoroughly, it can be regarded as a contribution to the family." ”
Yi Chen's knees were bent, his shoulders were pressed like a thousand catties of boulders, making his chest stuffy, his legs couldn't help but tremble, his forehead was even more exposed, and the sweat of beans was also present on his forehead and cheeks, and the strong sense of oppression made him speechless.
"Father, you are a dignified martial arts ninth-order powerhouse, Yi Chen has no power to restrain the chicken, you are a little too much to bully him."
A Qingyue voice with a little anger came from the direction of the courtyard gate, followed the sound, and saw that a young girl had crossed the courtyard gate and walked towards the crooked neck of the old tree.
The girl is about twenty-eight years old, with red lips and bright teeth, willow eyebrows and phoenix eyes, and an inverted triangle beautiful fox face that is white and flawless, which has made her look both young and beautiful, and she is wearing a slightly tight-fitting white warrior robe, and a blue belt is tied around her waist, and her perfect figure with long legs and thin waist and double peaks is undoubtedly revealed, coupled with a faint heroic spirit between her eyebrows, she is really heroic and sassy, a strange woman.
"Huh."
Yi Nianzong glanced behind him, then removed his palm with a smile, and said to the girl who had already walked to his side: "Yunshang, my father is not bullying him, but letting him recognize his own strength, let him know what to say and what to do." ”
The weight on his shoulders disappeared in an instant, but Yi Chen couldn't stand firm anymore and sat down. (http://.)。
"Humph!"
Yunshang walked quickly to Yi Chen, stretched out his hands and grabbed Yi Chen's arm, helped Yi Chen up, and helped Yi Chen pat the dust on his body.
"Read, persuade him well."
Yi Nianzong glanced at his sister meaningfully, and then left the small courtyard with the four gray-haired Yi family elders.
"It seems that this matter is non-negotiable."
Yi Chen sat down dejectedly, touching his chin with one hand, frowning, as if he was thinking about countermeasures.
"Brother Yi Chen, if I don't go and beg my father, maybe I can make him change his mind." Yunshang said kindly.
"No need, this matter was negotiated with Bei Chi Lei face-to-face, and there is no room for reversal."
Yi Nianyu shook his head, and said: "Yunshang, in fact, what Beichi Lei said at the beginning was to let you marry into the Beichi family, and also said that the young and handsome men of the Beichi family are up to you to choose, and the head of the family took a lot of words to refuse this proposal." ”
"I have to refuse, those young people in the Beichi family are too over-eyed and empty-eyed, so I don't want to marry into their family." Yi Yunshang is very direct.
Then Beichi Lei was very unhappy, and after a frenzy, he made another suggestion...... For his second daughter Beichi Min to choose a son-in-law, and in our Yi family, the head of the family also had to refuse, after all, everyone knows what the situation is with Beichi Min, but to everyone's surprise, Beichi Lei actually chose Yi Chen. ”
Yi Nianyu looked at the sunset, looked at the remnant glow, and there seemed to be a bit of remorse in her eyes, I don't know what she regretted.
"Why? Why did Bei Chi Lei choose Brother Yi Chen? Yi Yunshang asked puzzled.
