Seated in the small courtyard, the insects served tea, and there was no restraint between the guests and the host, quite casually.
Ye Diandian, who was serving tea, watched the two men chatting nonsense, with an occasional smile on her lips. She could feel that Yu Qing was having a hard time dealing with her husband.
In her opinion, Yu Qing grew up in the secular world of flowers and flowers. He also went to Beijing to take the exam, served as a Beijing official, and read poetry and books. He was a person who was influenced by advanced ethics. Now he is able to be so wild and unrestrained while fighting in the world.
This is the limit. And my husband grew up in a tribe in the mountains and swamps. He is a completely different world. The result of sitting together and chatting can be imagined. Tanhua Lang can only lower his emotions to cater to his husband.
mood.
Of course, Ye Diandian also carefully observed Yu Qing and found that except for the neatly trimmed mustache, he was really unkempt in other aspects. His face had also lost its former youthfulness and gradually gained a mature masculine look. After all,
After all these years, he is no longer the young man he was when we first met him.
Yu Qing, who was almost at a loss for words when facing Fengzangshan, had no choice but to change the topic to Ye Diandian, "Sister, you're about to give birth, why did you come all the way here?"
Ye Diandian said calmly: "Of course the bill is here to collect."
Collecting the bill? Yu Qing touched the other person's eyes that were half-smiling but suddenly realized what was going on. He was the one who was collecting the bill. Of course, he also knew that he owed him 10 million yuan.
The past two years have indeed been tense. The reason for the tension is the contract reached with Ye Diandian back then. It is impossible for him to spend money and labor on such a large peach tree for nothing. Ten million a year.
The fee is agreed upon.
They managed to scrape together the expenses for the previous year, but last year they really couldn't make up the money. For this reason, the brothers took turns going back to Linglong Temple to borrow money from their junior uncle.
After all, my junior uncle had taken out a large sum of money from here.
The junior uncle agreed to give the money, but there was a condition, which was to cut off the mess outside, and the senior brothers must go back honestly.
Going back now? They hadn't been out of the mountain for too long. The unbearable loneliness in the mountains was still lingering in their hearts. They were a little miserable and they didn't want to go back. As a result, they naturally failed to get the money from their junior uncle.
Then everyone's complaints were all focused on Yu Qing. Everyone had been working for the fairy peach forest for several years, but there was still no harvest. No one knew when the results would be achieved. There was no reward, and no one knew.
How many more years will it take for Nanzhu and Mu Aotie to pay for the hard work of running orders? Even Bailixin has to dig into his pocket to make up for it. Life in Taohuaju is tight, and complaints and complaints are unavoidable in this situation.
.
He regretted that he didn't think more about the dead people when he was in Penglai Mountain. He was busy testing those spiritual herbs at that time. When they reacted, the Qingwu clan did not let those people rot in the wilderness and had already collected as many corpses as they could.
After the fire burned down, the belongings of some of the people who were shattered to pieces had been blown away by the strong wind blowing from the bell. In addition to some rags and rags, a few banknotes were not found.
The key point was that he didn't regard dead people's money as his main goal at that time. He wanted to make a fortune and was thinking about Nie Rifu's wealth.
I regretted all kinds of things. I even regretted not searching the bodies of Jasmine and others after they died. I don’t know what I thought at the time, but I buried them properly like that. When I felt that money was more important, I wanted to go back and dig again.
The matter of the grave is not appropriate either. It is estimated that the banknotes on the deceased had already rotted along with the body.
He couldn't bear to look back on the past. At this moment, Yu Qing had a wry smile on his face and couldn't help but look at Feng Zangshan. Unexpectedly, this old man actually picked up the tea cup and pretended to be confused, as if he suddenly learned how to taste tea.
Well, seeing that he couldn't escape, Yu Qing had no choice but to face Ye Diandian honestly and asked: "Are you asking me to collect the bill?"
Gao Laoer, who was walking from the yard outside, couldn't help but slow down his steps after hearing this.
Ye Diandian asked back: "What do you think?"
Be reserved and don't say anything, take the initiative and retreat to the passive, save some emotion, but this is already the answer.
Yu Qing was silent, and finally exhaled: "I didn't pay you in time because I figured it out. Sister, let's follow the contract. I will give up the fairy peach forest and it will belong to you."
He originally wanted to drag his feet and let others see that he was arrogant about his past friendship, and he even had some luck. Unexpectedly, someone came to collect the bill, so he had no choice but to give up that chance.
It feels very sad to give up. I spent so much money on that forest, and to give up now is like all the hard work was wasted.
It would be a lie to say that I have no regrets about my original decision. At that time, everyone was trying to persuade me. Even my junior uncle also warned me again and again, saying that the burden would be too heavy and could easily lead to problems. But at that time, he was high-spirited and arbitrary and could not listen.
opinion, full of determination.
When people are going well, they are always more courageous, and the words they speak and the decisions they make are full of fighting spirit. He is young, so he doesn't know how to think deeply after a setback.
After deciding not to take risks to make a fortune, I found that I really couldn't carry it anymore, so I had to give up. Others also agreed that they didn't want to fill this bottomless pit anymore.
Ye Diandian and Feng Zangshan looked at each other, not expecting this outcome.
Ye Diandian came here indeed for this matter. She didn't want to force her at first. She also heard rumors from the capital of Jin Kingdom that Yu Qing's money should be a little tight, and everyone around her was involved in running orders to make money.
situation.
Of course, the comment was not a mockery, but a compliment, saying that even if this happened, Tan Hwa Lang would not make money by gimmicks, what a character!
From another perspective, it seems that there are people in Jinguo Capital that have been keeping an eye on Taohuaju.
Because of this, after hearing that her husband was coming here, Ye Diandian stopped by to take a look with her big belly.
Now it seems that the rumor has been confirmed. Ye Diandian silently put down the tea cup and changed the topic, "You are young and stay at home all the time. Aren't you bored? Every time I invite you to the Feng Clan as a guest, you always say yes.
Yeah, I’ve never seen you move once. Why, do you look down on us wasteland savages?”
Yu Qing didn't know why she jumped on this topic again, and sighed: "How dare you. Sister, it's not like you don't know that I'm carrying something on my back. I feel that everything is troublesome, so I ran to the Feng Clan, right?
Are you worried about causing trouble for the Phoenix Clan?"
Feng Zangshan laughed and said: "Then I want to see who dares to go to the Feng Clan to look for trouble!"
But Ye Diandian said calmly: "Brother, let's go for a walk in the Great Wasteland. This year's Great Wasteland is the year of the Great Sacrifice. There will be a lot of excitement. It would be a pity to miss it."
Yu Qing was slightly startled, and after looking at Gao Laoer, he tried to ask: "What kind of excitement can there be in the wilderness?"
Ye Diandian said casually: "Dahuang Sacrifice."
"Dahuang Sacrifice?" Yu Qing was puzzled and asked: "What is it?"
Ye Diandian: "Don't look at it. The Great Wasteland is a barbaric land. There are quite a few separate tribes. Each tribe's territory is adjacent to each other. It is inevitable that some conflicts will arise. Over the years, they have accumulated. In addition, with the intervention of caring people from outside the Great Wasteland, there will be no problem.
In view of this, the chief of the tribe summoned all the tribes to hold an alliance of thousands of tribes in the wilderness. The chief of the tribe called it the 'Great Wilderness Sacrifice', and it was also the first 'Great Wilderness Sacrifice'."
The great patriarch of the Great Wasteland is naturally the Supreme Being of the Great Wasteland. Yu Qing was curious, "What is the purpose of this 'Great Wasteland Sacrifice'?"
Ye Diandian: "We have said that various tribes have accumulated a lot of conflicts. What else can you do? It is naturally to resolve the conflicts. The conflicts between tribes are nothing more than those. When they break out, they will form territorial disputes. This 'big wasteland'
Sacrifice is to mark territory for each clan. In fact, in the words of the spiritual world, it is a martial arts competition.
The various clans have been fighting back and forth all year round, and they have complained to the chief of the clan. The father-in-law said that he was right, and the mother-in-law said that she was right. Even if the chief of the clan could level a bowl of water, he would probably be in trouble. This time he made the "Great Wilderness Sacrifice"
'The decision was to stop the territorial disputes among the various tribes and allow each tribe to send representatives to compete.
Of course, unlike the martial arts competition we know, the 'Great Wilderness Sacrifice' competition is not between any two tribes, but between tribes with territorial disputes. If there is a dispute, one party can raise objections to the other party's territory.
, the principle is that both parties negotiate. If the negotiation is not appropriate, then it will be decided by a competition. Whoever wins will delimit the territory boundaries according to the winner's requirements. After the demarcation, the issues related to the territory will not change for twenty years. Whoever wins during this period will
If you violate the agreement, the patriarch will be severely punished. If you have any opinions, you will have to wait until the next 'Great Wilderness Sacrifice' twenty years later to resolve them."
"Oh!" Yu Qing nodded clearly, understood, and sighed, "Then I guess there are very few people who can successfully negotiate. Wouldn't it be very lively for thousands of tribes to fight?"
Ye Diandian nodded and said to Feng Zangshan: "That's why he came to Youjiao Port to purchase, and he wanted to make some preparations for the arrival of the 'Great Wilderness Sacrifice'. We came early. You can see after a while, Youjiao Port is probably
There will be many people from the wilderness."
Yu Qing asked: "Do the Feng people also have conflicts with neighboring peoples?"
Feng Zangshan chuckled, "We have been together for a long time, how could there be no contradictions?"
Yu Qing asked, "Is my brother-in-law buying for the Feng clan when he comes here to purchase, or does he also want to participate in the 'Great Wilderness Sacrifice' competition?"
Ye Diandian, who was slowly sipping tea, said: "Just to make some preparations, the possibility of his turn is unlikely, but he also has to participate in the competition within the clan. The chief of the clan has spoken, and the clan chiefs of all clans are not allowed to participate.
He takes the lead in executing the martial arts competition. After all, if he participates in the martial arts competition, how can his opponents compete with each other? Therefore, each clan must select the strongest among the children of the clan."
Yu Qing said again, "I understand. This brother-in-law's strength should not be considered strong among the children of the Feng clan, at least not the strongest." He tried to ask: "This 'Great Wilderness Sacrifice', outside the Great Wilderness
Can people also go and watch the fun?"
Ye Diandian: "Is it possible to prevent such a big battle? It is difficult to refuse some people with status and background, so each ethnic group has a small number of guests who can take care of themselves. As for those without status and background, they are naturally not qualified to watch."
Yu Qing hesitated and said: "Then the quota should be considered precious. If the Feng Clan doesn't have any relatives or friends, is it appropriate for me to take up a quota?"
Feng Zangshan suddenly waved his hand: "Oh, it's so tiring to beat around the bush. In fact, what your sister meant was that she was just stopping by to see the Great Wilderness Sacrifice. She mainly wanted to find some business for your shop and asked you to go to the Feng Clan to negotiate.
Let’s see if we can give you some specialties from my Feng clan to Taohuaju. This matter has to be decided by the clan leader, so you should at least meet and talk to the clan leader.”
Yu Qing, Gao Laoer and Chong'er all looked at Ye Diandian in confusion. It turned out that they were here to take care of the business of Taohuaju.
Ye Diandian said calmly: "Let me owe the money to Taoshulin for now. I will pay it when I have the money. If I can win the monopoly on Feng Clan items, it should be enough for the expenses. If I have a legitimate business, I don't have to worry about Youjiaobu."
You will be kicked out during the audit of each store.
You don't have to look at me like this. I'm not here to help you. It's the chief of the big clan who brought up the "Great Wilderness Sacrifice". I'm afraid all the clans who usually don't pay much attention to money need to prepare some. For example, if your brother-in-law comes to purchase something like this
It costs money. I just recommended you Taohuaju to the clan leader.
The leader of the Feng Clan is willing to consider you, and it doesn’t have much to do with me. I can’t decide this matter either. It’s because of your own reputation. The leader has heard about you. I heard that you would rather work hard than
Earn frivolous money from dancing and writing, I have given up writing and turned to martial arts to do what I say. I admire you quite a lot and say that you have the backbone and I feel more at ease working with you. So, this is an opportunity. Let’s go and meet him. After all, the leader of the Feng clan is not anyone.
