Chapter 0057 White Lies
Xu Xin smiled sweetly and said, "Uncle Wang, Ergou passed the trial of our Fantasy Sword Sect and became an inner room disciple. As his senior sister, I came to report the good news on behalf of the master. These are small gifts from the master, and every new disciple has them."
Uncle Wang was so scared that he shivered. He was sitting on a long wooden bench, but now he stood up in a hurry and said in a trembling voice: "Immortal! Old woman, come out and pay homage to the Immortal, hurry up!"
Aunt Wang trotted out of the kitchen all the way. Uncle Wang grabbed her sleeve and said hurriedly: "This... is the immortal, our dog's senior sister. The immortal is above..."
Xu Xin was stunned and didn't understand what the two elders were going to do. Fortunately, Yi Gangyu reacted quickly, rushed forward a few steps, held the two elders who were about to kneel down, and said, "Uncle Wang, Aunt Wang, although she is an inner disciple of the Fantasy Sword Sect, she is still...ahem, she is not an immortal, but she must be at least seventy-eighty. She is only less than twenty."
Wan Chongshan laughed and said, "Uncle Wang, Aunt Wang, I'm not talking to you. There are so many immortals flying around the town recently. If you all worship me, you won't have to get up all day. Don't mess with these useless ones. Real immortals won't eat this."
Yi Gangyu continued, "It's Ergou who practices hard for decades and is likely to become an immortal. Uncle Wang, Aunt Wang, you don't know that the Fantasy Sword Sect is so powerful! Just dance a few magic swords, and the sky is full of wind, fire, thunder and lightning, and you can still stand on the sword and fly around. At most, your Ergou can fly back in ten or eight years. It's flying, not riding a horse."
The expression on the two elders' faces was both confused and happy. Yesterday someone came to report the good news, saying that Ergouzi passed the trial of the Fantasy Sword Sect and was about to become an inner disciple of the Fantasy Sword Sect. From then on, he attained enlightenment and ascended to heaven.
The two elders didn't believe it at first, but the two elders reported the good news one after another. After the fourth one came, the two elders had to believe it. They planned to go to the town to find Ergou. As soon as they walked out two or three miles, they saw two big white bears talking on the official road. Then the two elders actually waved their hands and grinned at them with big mouths. The two elders were so scared that they returned home.
"By the way, Xiaogang, where is our dog?" Uncle Wang was happy, but he was always worried that he didn't see his son.
"Okay!" Yi Gangyu said, "There are too many people going to the Fantasy Sword Sect to participate in the trial these days. The three trial masters were too busy. Ergou was in a hurry to come back, but he didn't expect that the rules of the Fantasy Sword Sect were extremely strict. Once the trial was passed, especially the inner room disciples, they had to be escorted back to the Fantasy Sword Sect by their senior brothers or sisters immediately and start practicing immediately, and they would not be delayed for a moment. What is the specific situation? Uncle Wang and Aunt Wang, just ask Ergou's senior sister."
The two elders immediately looked at Xu Xin intently.
Xu Xin said, "Well, Xiaogang is basically right. Last night, Ergou had two other new disciples, who had been escorted to the Fantasy Sword Sect by two senior brothers. At this time, I am afraid that I have walked hundreds of miles away. Uncle Wang, Aunt Wang, our Fantasy Sword Sect is not in the Xuanwu Dynasty, but in the Qinglong Dynasty. Hurry up, it will take at least ten days and half a month to arrive. Let's be far away, but please rest assured that after Ergou arrives, there will be a letter to come back to report your safety."
After hearing this, the two elders looked at each other, Aunt Wang complained a little, and whispered: "Why are you so anxious? You can come back at least."
Wan Chongshan said, "Aunt Wang, you are so petty. Brother Ergou must want to come back and say goodbye to you, but you think, if you arrive at the Fantasy Sword Sect one day earlier, you can start practicing one day earlier. As parents, you should not delay Ergou's bright future because of the small matter of meeting each other. Is this true?"
Uncle Wang was a man, so he was a little open-minded. He heard this and nodded, "That's the reason, Xiaogang, what did you ask us when the dog left?"
Yi Gangyu felt uncomfortable and forced a smile, saying, "Egou wants you to take care of yourself and don't worry about him. He will definitely practice well in the Fantasy Sword Sect and not embarrass the two elders. In addition, Ergou also asks Brother Shan and me to come and see you often. If you have any help, you can help us. I will thank us well when he comes back. Uncle Wang, Aunt Wang, if you have any things in the future, you need Brother Shan and I to help me. Just speak up and treat us as your son."
Aunt Wang asked carefully, "Xiao Gang, how often can Ergou come back?"
Yi Gangyu thought that it would be unreliable to say that it would be ten or eight years. It would seem that it would take a while for three or five years. He was unsure of his mind, so he looked at Xu Xin and said, "Aunt Wang, you have to ask Ergou's senior sister about this."
Xu Xin frowned gently, pretended to think for a moment, and then said, "Well, the key is to see how Junior Brother Ergou's cultivation progress is? If it's fast, you can go home in one or two years and stay for ten or half a month. If it's slow, it will take three or five years. If it's slower, it's possible. In fact, the second elders don't have to worry. When I return to the Fantasy Sword Sect, I will definitely remind Junior Brother Ergou to write a few more letters from home. The most important thing now is to let Junior Brother Ergou practice with all his heart and never be distracted."
When the two elders heard it for three or five years, their hearts were broken for ten or eight years. They had such a son in their later years and had never left Digou Town until they were sixteen years old. Now they are gone, they will not meet for at least one or two years. So how can they not miss it? But who is a parents who doesn’t want their children to have a good future? Although they don’t know what the Illusion Sword Sect is, they will definitely not be far behind if they are expected to become immortals flying in the sky one day. This is undoubtedly an excellent opportunity for Ergou. Even if they are reluctant, they have to recognize them.
Xu Xin took out a golden ticket of Xuanwu with 100 golden beads and handed it to Uncle Wang, saying, "The disciples of the Immortal Sword Sect have 100 golden beads every month... pocket money. When Junior Ergou left, he asked me to bring this golden ticket to you. He asked you not to be reluctant to spend it, and to buy a few new sets of clothes and some delicious food. From now on, he will save up the golden beads every month, and ask someone to bring them back together when sending the letters."
Before the two elders could react, Wan Chongshan continued, "Uncle Wang, Aunt Wang, when the Ergou brothers sent more and more gold beads, you have to tidy up this thatched hut. Maybe when he comes back, he will still bring a beautiful daughter-in-law."
Yi Gangyu took the opportunity and quickly said, "You two, just wait to hold the fat grandson."
The two elders couldn't help but grin and smiled happily, especially when Xu Xin summoned the giant sword and flew in the main hall for two laps, he was even more convinced and said that Ergou really brought his daughter-in-law back and would definitely invite three of them to the table and have a wedding banquet.
....................................................................................................
After the three of them bid farewell to the two elders, Wan Chongshan had to go home. Yi Gangyu and Xu Xin could only stay at Zhang Linyuan. Halfway through the way, Wan Chongshan suddenly said, "Xiao Gang, brother and sister, have you visited your new residence?"
Yi Gangyu shook his head and said, "No, things happen one after another."
Wan Chongshan said, "It's going to dawn in less than two hours. Why don't I accompany you to see it? If the craftsmen are lazy and fool people, I just need to yell, and they all have to be scared like a mouse when he sees a cat."
Xu Xin smiled and said, "Then please Brother Shan, I'm worried that Xiaogang can't bear the craftsmen."
I originally thought that the craftsmen must have rested at this point, but I didn’t expect that the house was brightly lit inside and outside, and it was even more rare that Lu Xiaoban was still on the scene and was cooking noodles outside the temporary tent with several craftsmen.
When Lu Xiaoban heard the footsteps, he looked up and said, "Oh," he quickly came up, nodded and bowed, "Young Master Yi, Miss, Young Master Wan, you haven't rested so late."
Yi Gangyu smiled and went straight to see the big house. Wan Chongshan followed him, leaving Xu Xin standing there, glanced casually for a few seconds, frowned slightly, "Carpenter Lu, it doesn't look very good."
Lu Xiaoban quickly explained: "Miss, you don't know that this big house has been in disrepair for a long time, with sun and rain, and many places are broken when they touch it. So, during the day, two masons climbed up to the east yard and planned to replace it with new tiles. As a result, before construction started, the courtyard wall collapsed. Fortunately, the two were clever and jumped quickly, so they did not break their hands and feet."
Xu Xin asked, "Are those two masons injured?"
Lu Xiaoban said: "Miscellaneous injury is not a problem, and his hands and feet have been scratched."
Xu Xin said: "Carpenter Lu, any craftsman who is injured in repairing the house can go to the genius doctor Hua in the town to treat it, and I will bear all the costs."
"Thank you, Miss." Lu Xiaoban said, "This way the craftsmen work harder."
Xu Xin said: "If the courtyard wall collapses, then all the courtyard walls will be pushed down and rebuilt. Don't save money and let go of your hands and feet. In addition, the food and accommodation issues of craftsmen must be properly handled. If not, go to the town to invite a few chefs to serve them every day. If they don't eat and drink, how can they have the strength to do things? Right?"
"Yes, the lady is right, I will do it tomorrow."
“Are the prepaid gold beads enough?”
"Enough, too enough."
"Well, if not enough, you can go to Doctor Hua's 'Da Huichun Hall' or Zhang Linyuan's pork shop to find me." Xu Xincai was rich and arrogant and asked, "Carpenter Lu, how long will it take to move in at this progress?"
Lu Xiaoban thought for a moment and said, "Miss, as long as it doesn't rain, it will be completed in ten days at most. Don't look like it's not going well now, but the main body has been almost the same. Next, there are some fine work in the house, soon. Miss, this golden pearl foot is easy to do. Look, all kinds of materials over there are piled up into small hills."
Xu Xin smiled and said, "Carpenter Ru, I was very satisfied with this when you said this. I will send a message to all the craftsmen tomorrow. As long as the completion is completed within ten days, everyone will be rewarded, but the premise is that the quality must be strong and don't think about getting away with it. Otherwise, not only will the reward be lost, but the wages will be suspended."
Lu Xiaoban immediately raised his chest and raised his head, patted his chest and said, "Miss, the whole house is covered by small supervisors. You have also seen that the little one divides the craftsmen into three batches and rotates every four hours. This will not only greatly shorten the construction period, but also ensure quality. Even a nail is carefully crafted by the best blacksmith and first-class goods."
...................................................................................
"Brother, didn't I say you young couple, this big house is too obvious." Wan Chongshan looked around and sighed, "This scale is amazing after completion. Do you see the walls left on all sides? Once the courtyard wall is built, it is probably ten acres of land here. Look, they surrounded the big pond, and there is also a large circle of pine forests and bamboo forests... Why don't these calfs surround that small hill? I'm really dissatisfied!"
Yi Gangyu had no joy on his face, but instead was worried, saying, "Cai Yinwen will soon know that he has not come to cause trouble now. It must be because there are too many things in the town recently. When he finishes his work, he will find Keer and me. This large amount of land occupation costs may cost thousands or tens of thousands of gold beads."
Wan Chongshan said disdainfully: "Cai Yinwen is nothing! That was the past, we had to give in to her. Now you are still using birds?! This evil woman dares to come and talk nonsense, so you can move Butcher Zhang out, which will definitely scare her to go back and forth. Besides, my brother and sister don't lack gold beads. I suspect that her small belt still has at least tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of gold beads in her arms."
Yi Gangyu said ashamedly: "Brother Shan, this is what I really worry about. How long have I known Ke'er for a long time? He said he was a life-saving grace, but in fact, it was all saved by my master and second master, so I ran away. Now, I have used 15,000 gold beads to repair a house, and this will definitely cost a lot of money in the future. What do I give to Ke'er?"
Wan Chongshan dared not believe it, "Brother, you were kicked by a donkey in your head. What a big deal about your own wife's money!"
Yi Gangyu sighed softly and said, "Brother Shan, Keer and I are not what you think. Alas... It's hard to describe anyway, and it's a headache."
Wan Chongshan thought for a while, lowered his voice and asked, "Brother, I'll ask you something, you have to tell the truth."
"What?"
"Do you guys think your brother and sister are not good-looking enough?"
Yi Gangyu frowned and said, "What does it mean?"
Wan Chongshan said, "Everyone is a discerning person, so don't hide it. I will tell the truth in front of you. If you look at her, Fu Yiyi will be much better than her younger brothers and sisters, but no matter how good she looks, she can't be used as a food. My meaning is that, except for her appearance, her younger brothers and sisters, their family background is not inferior to Fu Yiyi at all, not to mention, her younger brothers and sisters are so hard. If you marry her, I guarantee that no one in the town dares to look at you directly. You will walk like a crab in the future. Do you understand?"
Yi Gangyu couldn't help laughing after hearing this.
Wan Chongshan stared at him and said, "Why are you laughing at? Brother, we grew up wearing pairs of crotch pants. I know the best. I am not afraid of irritating you. You go to the pond to take good care of yourself. You are just like that. At most, it's just like a person. So don't hold the weight and don't know how heavy you are, pick a goose feather and don't know how light you are. Hurry up and choose a day to get things done."
Yi Gangyu was so amused that he couldn't tell Wan Chongshan about Xuxin's small conditions, so he was too lazy to deal with it and let Wan Chongshan nag endlessly.
He was originally just trying to live a simple and safe life, but he was completely confused because of his permission.
