Chapter 106: Moving into a new house, what happened at the market
Jiang Yucheng spoke up to keep Jiang Qingzi.
He sighed and said, "There are vacant houses on the first floor. Ye Keqing has many children, and the house we arranged before is too small. Let Ye Keqing move there."
The family member who had just gone to make a copy of the jade slip happened to come back and was shocked when he heard the words.
The first floor area was where only elders could live in the past.
Jiang Qingzi holds the ancestral jade pendant. As the only surviving daughter of the Jiang family's main line, she has a promising future as an elder, so living on the first floor is acceptable to the entire family.
But how could Ye Keqing, an outsider, receive such high treatment?
But due to his status, he naturally couldn't interrupt, so he just secretly thought about his ideas in his heart.
Jiang Qingzi nodded, took the pair of jade slips, turned around and left.
He first chose a house relatively close to him in the first floor area, took the formation jade disc, and then came to find Ye Yunqi.
As soon as Ye Yunqi opened the door, Jiang Qingzi said straight to the point: "The head of the family said that your house is too small, so he asked you to move to the first floor. This is the jade disc. In addition, this is a dual cultivation method that can help pregnancy and restore pregnancy loss. You can see the details in the jade slip."
Ye Yunqi took the things and thanked him, "Thank you, Senior Sister."
Jiang Qingzi always felt shy when she saw Ye Yunqi now. She suppressed her emotions and said calmly, "The head of the family arranged this. Why should I thank you?"
Now that his treatment has suddenly improved, Ye Yunqi is naturally happy and said with a smile: "It must be that Senior Sister said a lot of good things~"
"Hmph, it's good that you know it. If you want to thank me, then you should practice well." Jiang Qingzi advised.
Speaking of cultivation, Ye Yunqi wanted to activate the system, and to activate the system, he needed many children and good fortune.
Ye Yunqi smiled awkwardly: "The Patriarch is so generous, I wonder how the matter I talked to Senior Sister about is going?"
Jiang Qingzi pretended to be ignorant and asked, "What's the matter?"
"It's about taking a concubine..."
Jiang Qingzi swung his sleeves, turned around and left, leaving behind a sentence: "The patriarch has denied this matter, let's talk about it later, maybe after you build your foundation, the patriarch will agree."
Foundation building?
Ye Yunqi slandered in his heart: If I have established my foundation, do I still need the Jiang family to find a few mortal concubines? When the time comes, I must find a woman with spiritual roots to be my concubine.
It is often said in the world of cultivation: the stronger the qualifications of both parents, the greater the probability of giving birth to children with spiritual roots.
If Ye Yunqi were to go out and take a mortal as his concubine now, there would be many people willing to do so. Now he is just giving the Jiang family some face.
Just as Ye Yunqi was about to close the door, he heard Meng Jingyang's door next door creak open.
Ye Yunqi looked over.
Meng Jingyang seemed to be about to go out with her concubines. When she saw Ye Yunqi, she greeted him with a smile.
Ye Yunqi blinked and suddenly had an idea.
"Brother Meng, where are you going?"
Meng Jingyang explained with a smile: "I took them to the market. It's boring to sit at home all day."
Ye Yunqi suddenly realized that it was indeed the case.
But thinking of the market, Ye Yunqi stepped forward and asked, "Indeed, my concubine must be idle, I wonder if this market is suitable for ordinary people to visit?"
Meng Jingyang introduced: "Of course it is suitable. The market I went to was not the cultivator market. The market I went to was in the north of Jade Valley, close to the mortal city. It was a market where ordinary people and low-level cultivators mixed together. There were many mortal things, and they didn't cost much. It was just for fun."
Ye Yunqi was also quite excited when he heard this, so he asked for the specific location.
Then, a light bulb suddenly lit up in his head. Since the Jiang family was unwilling to take a concubine for him, couldn't he just go to the mortal world and choose a few women to be his concubines?
When I think about it this way, I feel like I’m a genius.
But I just got a new house today, so I have to go and see it and take care of the moving arrangements.
Ye Yunqi asked Meng Jingyang to keep an eye out for relevant information for him first.
Meng Jingyang’s thinking was the same as Ye Yunqi’s. His first reaction was why not ask the Jiang family to take a concubine?
When he heard Ye Yunqi say that the Jiang family rejected Ye Yunqi's proposal, he was also puzzled.
"How could that be? She's just a concubine. Given how much the Jiang family values you, they won't reject you, right?" Meng Jingyang was quite puzzled, and said, "Then I'll keep an eye out for you, and I'll talk to you about it when I get back."
"Well, if you come back and find that no one is at home, go to the house over there to look for me." Ye Yunqi told him about the new house.
Meng Jingyang was surprised again, then he saluted and said, "One level area? Congratulations, Junior Brother. It seems that the Jiang family values Junior Brother very much! But thinking about it this way, it is really unreasonable to refuse Junior Brother to take a concubine... Maybe it's for the sake of reputation?"
"reputation?"
Meng Jingyang nodded and said, "The Xiuxian family has lived in one place for a long time, so they naturally value their reputation. It is normal for us to marry and take concubines to strengthen the relationship when we first arrive. However, if we take concubines again and again, it will inevitably be suspected of selling daughters for help. Perhaps the Jiang family is worried about damaging their reputation."
Ye Yunqi thought that this was also the truth, and nodded in response: "Maybe that's the case, I was too hasty, but I... Hey, Senior Brother, please ask for me, I have my own ideas."
Ye Yunqi not only did not ask anyone to keep the matter of the Ye family a secret, but he also often mentioned it himself.
Therefore, Meng Jingyang also knew it and nodded in agreement: "I understand you, Junior Brother. After all, the survival of the family depends on you alone. I will take my leave first."
"Walk slowly."
Meng Jingyang left first with her concubine.
On the other side, Jiang Yude hurriedly walked up to Jiang Yucheng.
He looked like he couldn't help but get something off his chest.
Jiang Yucheng waved his hand and said, "If it's about the matter of Ye Keqing's house, then there's no need to speak up. I've already heard a few people talking about it. This matter is settled."
Jiang Yude shook his head: "Master, I am here to support your decision."
Jiang Yucheng sighed softly: "I want to hear something new."
Jiang Yude said in a deep voice: "I have also heard about the matter between Jiang Qingzi and Ye Yunqi. The Three Pure Ones Sect has ordered that the inheritance of the Thunder Method should not be easily passed on. If Jiang Qingzi stays in the clan and leaves behind the inheritance, my Jiang family will have the Thunder Method."
"If Jiang Qingzi marries Ye Yunqi, and Ye Yunqi sets up his own Ye family in the future, won't my Jiang family be without thunder magic?"
Jiang Yucheng shook his head: "I'm not worried about this. I've also read what the Sanqing Sect said. It's OK to pass on the skills to disciples or children. Even if I marry, I can let the disciples of my clan become Qingzi's disciples and inherit the thunder method."
"Master, you also know that people's minds are only a few kinds. If Qing Zi's heart is on Ye Yunqi, how can she not favor the Ye family over the Jiang family? If the thunder method is only owned by the Ye family, it can be regarded as the foundation of the family."
"Hey, Yude, it's over. The Ye family still has no future. Why think so much?" Jiang Yucheng sighed, "Even if it is, so what? Thunder magic is just icing on the cake for our Jiang family. What our Jiang family really needs is to cultivate and build a foundation to continue the hundred-year inheritance!"
There were too many concubines, and it would be a bit ostentatious to go together to see the new house.
Ye Yunqi asked them to choose someone to accompany him to see the temple. This person naturally fell on Su Muyao, the concubine who had been with Ye Yunqi the longest and gave birth to his eldest son Ye Ping'an.
Accommodating Su Muyao's leg strength, the two walked all the way. Fortunately, the first and second floor areas were not far away, and they found the new house soon.
With a wave of the jade disc, the formation dissipated, the door opened automatically, and he pushed the door open, a standard three-in, three-out process.
The courtyard has three entrances and three exits, and is divided into front yard, inner yard and back yard, forming a Chinese character "目".
There is no larger wealthy family in the world than this.
The women of that wealthy family all lived in the backyard and never saw outsiders, which gave an idea of how big the backyard was.
The northernmost backyard is surrounded by rows of houses. There are more than one room for each concubine. For now, it is more than enough to give each of the children a room.
In front of the backyard is the inner courtyard, which is the key to this yard.
The most important main house connects the inner courtyard and the backyard, and it is obvious that it is where the owner of the house lives.
There are two side rooms in the main house, one of which has been transformed into a quiet room for cultivation.
There are east wing, west wing, and a row of south rooms.
Ye Yunqi said with emotion: "Now I don't have to worry about having no place to live."
Su Muyao was naturally happy. She looked left and right, then muttered, "It's a pity that the vegetables in the yard, I don't know if they can be transplanted here."
Ye Yunqi laughed and said, "Go back and tell them about your useless words. See if they will laugh at you."
"Master, you don't understand. They will definitely not laugh at me. They grew these with their hard work. It would be a pity to waste them." Su Muyao snorted and said yearningly, "I wonder if the other immortal masters live in such a large courtyard alone?"
Ye Yunqi hesitated and said, "Senior Sister is like this."
Then he suddenly realized, "But the others shouldn't be like this. After all, they are a family of immortal cultivators. Those who can live in such a courtyard must be elders. How can they not have descendants? It's possible that several generations live together."
Ye Yunqi's guess was extremely reasonable.
Seeing that the new house was so satisfactory, Ye Yunqi did not even have time to look at the dual cultivation techniques. Anyway, now the concubine was pregnant, and there was no one to practice with him even if he looked at them.
After bringing Su Muyao back home, they started the big move.
There is a set of furniture and other things there, as well as personal belongings, which are not too many, so it is very convenient to move.
The only thing that took some time was picking the vegetables in the yard.
Just as Su Muyao said, the concubines all supported transplanting the vegetables.
When we arrived at the new yard, it was almost dark.
The first person to come to the door was Meng Jingyang.
Meng Jingyang held up a jar of wine and said, "Congratulations, Junior Brother, on your new home!"
Ye Yunqi welcomed Meng Jingyang into the inner courtyard. In the inner courtyard, there was a pavilion with tables and chairs. The two of them sat down and faced each other.
After three rounds of wine and five kinds of dishes, Meng Jingyang started to talk about business.
"I did find out what Junior Brother asked me to find out."
"In the market, immortals and mortals live together, and there is a rule for exchanging spirit stones for silver. One low-grade spirit stone is equivalent to about 100 taels of silver. People like you and me who receive a monthly salary can also go to the mortal world and become rich!"
"There is a slave market in the market where people are bought and sold. I went to the largest store and asked. A maid of average appearance would cost ten taels of silver."
"A maid of good appearance will cost thirty taels of silver."
"If you want a well-educated, well-mannered, wealthy, official son, you need a hundred taels of silver."
"Of course, some of these people don't even ask for money, but pay money to find a chance to meet someone special, or to find someone they like. It's hard to say."
It was the first time that Ye Yunqi heard of this. He felt strange but also had some sympathy.
After all, we were born and raised in the afterlife, so we seldom see people being enslaved.
Sighed slightly.
Meng Jingyang caught this sigh and asked, "Junior brother, why are you sighing? This price is not expensive. Junior brother gets three spirit stones a month! Besides, I don't think you need to exchange spirit stones for silver. Don't you have blood essence? It may not be as good as selling it for silver in the mortal world. After all, for those martial artists in the mortal world, this blood essence is an elixir."
Ye Yunqi shook his head: "I'm not worried about money, but I didn't expect that there are so many people selling themselves into slavery in the right place."
Meng Jingyang laughed and said, "Junior brother is kind-hearted, but there is no end to saving people from suffering in this world. In the mortal world, people depend on the weather for their livelihood. A disease or a disaster will inevitably destroy a family and cause people to sell their daughters and children."
"We can't just count on the immortal sect masters to save us, right? Previously, there was a small sect that wanted to save people from suffering, but it ended up supporting a bunch of mortal masters, and became a laughing stock in the cultivation world."
"Don't mention that immortals and mortals have parted ways. One level of cultivation is one level of heaven. Why should we interfere too much?"
Ye Yunqi didn't know what to say, so he could only pick up the wine and drink it to dispel the melancholy.
The general trend was irresistible, and he could not say much. Ye Yunqi asked, "Are there people selling spiritual roots in the slave market?"
Meng Jingyang was stunned for a moment, then shook his head: "I really don't know about this, but the means of detecting spiritual roots are also expensive for them. Some cheap slaves have not had their spiritual roots detected. Maybe I can find some?"
Ye Yunqi suddenly remembered his senior sister's jade pendant. If he took his senior sister with him, he might be able to find a bargain.
Meng Jingyang continued, "However, there are indeed people who sell spiritual roots, but the price is calculated based on spiritual stones, and I didn't ask."
Meng Jingyang just passed by and asked a few questions, so he naturally didn't know the specific information.
But for Ye Yun, he already had a preliminary outline.
Ye Yunqi bowed and said, "Thank you, Senior Brother. I will take my concubines down the mountain for a stroll in the future."
"It's just a little effort."
After saying this, Meng Jingyang also said goodbye.
After walking out of the door, the two of them greeted each other, and Ye Yunqi slowly closed the door.
Meng Jingyang was walking, when she suddenly turned back.
Look at the courtyard with three entrances and three exits. It is brightly lit and there seem to be voices.
Meng Jingyang hummed a song and thought to himself: My junior brother has become quite successful.
I don’t know where his foundation-building path lies?
That foundation building pill is not a cheap thing~
When Meng Jingyang went to the market, besides having fun, he naturally wanted to find out information for himself.
Foundation-building pills, foundation-building spiritual objects, each price made Meng Yangyang a little discouraged.
He didn't get his spirit stones from anywhere, but he only had three every month. Now he was reluctant to even use the spirit stones for cultivation.
