Chapter 47: Knocking
Seeing that Ye Congwen did not lose his mind because Ye Wuyin died under the claws of the demonic beast, he did not shout for revenge. On the contrary, he has the foresight to fight for the right to divide the land for Tieta Village! Ye Wudi finally showed a knowing smile, and he lived up to his years of teaching.
The most important thing for people is life, only by living can they hope to solve other things, the strength of the monster is strong, if you don't practice it, mortals can't help it after all, and those who become great things must be patient. Although Ye Congwen is small, he is open-minded and can bend and stretch, and the city is much deeper than the grumpy giant!
It's a pity that there are too few people who know how to forbear, and he sighed with regret:
"Your idea is good, selfless, self-sacrificing, worthy of the students I taught.
It's a pity that except for you kid, none of the seventy or eighty boys and girls of the two clans are willing to read and write! Otherwise, if you have a few more literate people, you will also go to the Demon Hunter Guard Apprentice Camp to learn some skills, and the chances of dividing the land in the future are not greater? ”
Ye Congwen smiled and said yes, but he sighed in his heart:
I'm afraid that the imperial court is not as generous as you think, not all people who are literate can go in and practice, this is simply a means to win people's hearts, otherwise why can only the nobles of the family enjoy this kind of treatment?
But I can't tell the old man about this, if I know that I have to change my surname to Yu, I'm afraid that I will go crazy on the spot, so it's better to mention it less.
Ye Wushu sighed for a long time before asking how long it would take to go?
When I learned that I might have to study at the age of twenty before I could come back, I was a little reluctant in my heart, after all, the two had been together for more than ten years, and Ye Congwen had a sweet and flexible brain.
often coaxes the old man to laugh, and once he goes away, he is a little sad. Life is rare for seventy years, and after five years, I don't know if I can see my old bones return to my hometown?
It was not good to show sad emotions, so he patted Ye Congwen's shoulder, smiled and encouraged:
"Grandpa is waiting for you to return home! However, I still have to learn the secret techniques of Feng Shui that I have taught you, and it will always be useful one day in the future. ”
After finishing speaking, he turned around and left, and Ye Congwen followed behind to send the old patriarch all the way home. Because I remembered that I still had to roast the three-color snow ginseng, I hurriedly ran back.
As soon as I ran to the house, I heard the sound of ping-pong in the kitchen, and when I walked to see it, it was the pigeon bean sprouts holding a knife to chop snow ginseng there.
Glancing back at the dining table, it was already clean. I feel a lot in my heart, and the little bean sprouts are diligent!
The hair was tied in a knot, and a chopstick was crossed horizontally, and it was still dripping wet, probably just washed the hair. Wearing a sleeveless long skirt, her two arms are neatly cutting snow ginseng, and her strength is much greater than before.
Seeing Ye Congwen walk in, Pigeon Bean Sprouts raised his head and explained:
"Brother Congwen, you are leaving the day after tomorrow, I'm afraid that I won't have time, so let's dry this elixir tonight."
Ye Congwen saw that the pigeon bean sprouts were more thoughtful than himself, nodded and praised:
"These two arms of yours are comparable to this snow ginseng."
The pigeon bean sprouts knew that the two tribes hated people with white skin and thin bodies the most, so they immediately complained depressedly:
"Then you can blame me, the more I drink this chicken soup, the whiter it becomes, and I can't help it, but I've been growing meat, you pinch and see, it's more porcelain than before."
Ye Congwen suddenly realized that it seemed that this girl was disgusted that she was too white and too thin, and couldn't help laughing:
"It's good to be white, they all say that the skin is white and beautiful, if you want to be black like me, I'm afraid that it will be difficult to marry in the future."
"Oh, you're not talking back, are you?"
Pigeon Bean Sprouts was skeptical of Ye Congwen's point of view, and even Yu Yueyue was said to be a paper person.
"Absolutely true, why did you stick a chopstick in your hair? Isn't there a big box of gold jewelry, isn't there a gold hairpin? ”
"What do I look like when I am a poor girl who wears gold jewelry all day long? Besides, if your hair is wet, you don't want to wear jewelry. ”
The pigeon bean sprouts cut the elixir into palm-sized pieces and placed them neatly in the baking cage.
Ye Congwen had already seen that the pigeon bean sprouts had hidden the whole box of jewelry in his cabinet, pretended to go back to the house to drink tea, picked a golden hairpin by the way, slowly walked behind the pigeon bean sprouts, and said with a smile:
"Put the hairpin on."
The pigeon bean sprouts were stained with snow ginseng juice, and they were too lazy to wash their hands, so they had to command:
"I can't keep my hands free, you plug them in for me."
Ye Congwen gently inserted the golden hairpin into the coiled hair, slowly pulled off the bamboo chopsticks, and said with a smile:
"It's still good to bring a gold hairpin, and if you have jewelry, you can take it every day, isn't it a waste to put it at home, and when I make a lot of money in the future, I will buy you more jewelry back."
"It's really fake, what you said counts." The pigeon bean sprouts talk happily as they work. The action is swift, and the two are not delayed.
"No one will lie to you!"
Ye Congwen saw that the pigeon bean sprouts were well organized, and he couldn't intervene, so he walked to the bathhouse, and was chased by Yu Yueyue, and his clothes were soaked with sweat.
By the time Ye Congwen finished taking a bath, the pigeon bean sprouts had already put all the snow ginseng into the baking basket, and he only needed to add some charcoal occasionally.
Walking into the house, seeing that the pigeon bean sprouts were looking at the wooden box on the table, Ye Congwen reminded:
"You Sister Yueyue gave it to you, why don't you take it home?"
"It's better to keep it in your home! I can come and pick it up at any time if I want to wear it, there are too many people in my family, and a few little ghosts are like mice, rummaging through boxes and cabinets at home all day long, and they have lost everything. ”
After finishing speaking, the pigeon bean sprouts gently opened the wooden box, and under the illumination of the light, all kinds of gold and silver jewelry shone brightly, and the sun was shining, and people were fascinated by it. After about a minute, the pigeon bean sprouts put away their reluctant eyes and suddenly asked curiously:
"Sister Yueyue said that there are more than a dozen boxes of jewelry in her cabinet, do you think she is bragging?"
Ye Congwen saw that the pigeon bean sprouts suddenly asked about this, and after thinking about it, he had to answer honestly:
"It should be true, her parents take turns to give her birthday gifts every year, every time a wooden box, she is eighteen years old this year, no matter what, she has to have a dozen boxes, not to mention that she has so many uncles and grandparents. Maybe it's just a little more! ”
"That's right, others are the daughters of the family, the pearl in the palm, a collection of thousands of favors, and it is normal to have more than a dozen boxes of gold jewelry.
My sister Yueyue is beautiful and has a good figure, and her family is so luxurious, she has been held in the palm of everyone's hands since she was a child.
If I marry someone else in the future, how rich and powerful do you say my brother-in-law's family is? Not to mention that the family has a lot of money, at least it has to be a prince and nobleman, at least I can't let Sister Yueyue go to his house to be poor and hungry, laundry and cooking, right? ”
Ye Congwen didn't feel good in his heart when he heard it, this girl wouldn't be beating me with words, right? Before he could answer, he saw the pigeon bean sprouts and sighed leisurely:
"But I don't think a man would be so self-aware, you know, even if my sister Yueyue is willing, her parents will agree? What about her grandparents, uncles, and uncles? ”
One sentence extinguished the fire that had just sprouted in Ye Congwen's heart.
Seeing that Ye Congwen was thoughtful, the pigeon bean sprouts smiled secretly, he had already beaten it almost enough, and let him slowly realize the rest.
"Brother Congwen, this is the wedding jewelry that Sister Yueyue gave me, I put it in your house and hid it, don't lose it, it's worth dozens of gold coins, and it's not enough to pay you if you sell it!"
After the pigeon bean sprouts finished speaking, he ran to the kitchen to add some charcoal, and then told Ye Congwen to remember to add charcoal before going to bed, and he jumped home with a lantern.
Ye Congwen stood at the door and watched the lantern disappear into a wooden house, and glanced at the stars in the sky, the sky was shining, and the Cowherd and Vega looked at each other across the river, which seemed to imply something.
"I'm only fifteen years old, why do you want to do this, maybe in the future, there will be the first beauty in the state capital, the first beauty in the county government, and even the first beauty in Daxia waiting for me to save?
The scenery should be long-sighted, and a manly man must not be short-sighted. ”
As soon as he thought of this, Ye Congwen suddenly became interested, the number one county government looked like this, and the number one in the world was not allowed to take off......
Ye Congwen locked the wooden box containing the jewelry in the sandalwood box that his mother married, and lay side by side with the pair of gold rings, and hung a big copper lock on the outside of the box.
In a blink of an eye, it was the day to go to the Demon Guard, and I had breakfast with the pigeon bean sprouts early in the morning, carrying a load of seventy or eighty catties of medicinal materials, which I went to the place where I dug the three-color elixir with Yu Yueyue last time.
I turned out all the lost medicinal materials again, and when I framed them, I found that there were dozens of catties, and I was worried that I had no money to spend on the Demon Hunting Guard, and I could at least exchange half a load of medicinal materials for pocket money, right?
didn't say a word, picked it up and left, causing the pigeon bean sprouts to keep complaining on the side, saying that it was not to recognize relatives, but to carry such a load of things.
The two came to the small boat next to the stream, the old patriarch stood aside and carried a small cloth bag, and when he saw Ye Congwen coming, he threw the small cloth bag into Ye Congwen's hand, and said with concern:
"This is ten gold coins, you can't go out without money, unlike in the village, it is said that a penny is difficult for an eight-foot man.
Grandpa has saved some private money over the years, and today I am all sponsoring you, remember not to lose the face of my tower village when you go out, we are the best people, everything should be the first, and our whole village is waiting for your good news at home. ”
Ye Congwen was so moved that he complained in his stomach:
Do you want to give money early, I dug up such a load of medicinal materials, and the day before yesterday I ate the three-color elixir and made my blood vessels and muscles feel a faint pain, and yesterday I went to dig up medicinal materials alone, but I suffered a big loss.
But you have to keep a grateful smile on your face, after all, money is not too much.
"Brother Wen, have you heard, the patriarch grandfather told you to win glory for our Tieta Village, don't degenerate to the point of being a son-in-law to others, and don't let us look down on you when the time comes."
The pigeon bean sprouts took the opportunity to knock and knock, and whispered the worries that they had been thinking about for a night last night, and the little face was full of sadness, so angry that Ye Congwen pinched her face hard, and said with a smile while rowing the boat:
"Don't worry, I've always relied on myself, even if I want to come to the door, I have to pick a porcelain one!"
Shameful, the pigeon bean sprouts' eyes lit up, rubbing their faces and staring at the small wooden boat until they couldn't see the familiar figure.
……………………
Ye Congwen came to the county seat with a light car, because he drove fast and got up early today, it was estimated that it was less than ten o'clock, Ye Congwen picked up the medicinal materials to the most magnificent Yu family pharmacy on the street, bargained with the shopkeeper, and finally sold it at a good price.
Carrying a small half bag of medicinal herbs, he hired a carriage to walk to Yu's house, and on the way, he bought two long dresses for Yu Yueyue in a clothing store, saving this stingy woman from always talking about skirts.
I was also sold a set of boy's brother costumes by the proprietress who could speak well, although it was a little awkward to wear on my body, but for the sake of the face of Tieta Village, I had to endure it.
In less than twenty minutes, Ye Congwen came to the gate of Yu's mansion, still the two doormen named Xiao Wu and Xiao Liu who were guarding the door last time, and when they saw a high-end carriage coming, they walked to the carriage with a very good attitude.
The coachman lifted the bead curtain to let the distinguished guests get out of the car, Ye Congwen walked up to the two doormen with a smile, took out a handful of gastropha essence from the sack and stuffed it into their hands, and said in an atmospheric manner:
"This is a century-old medicinal material, taking it to soak in water and drinking it can strengthen the muscles and bones, please go in and report to the eldest lady of your family, and say that Yu Congwen is here."
