However, the most important thing at the moment is his own body. The third young man of the Chu family is so thin that he can almost blow away with a gust of wind. How can such a body work? He ran to the kitchen secretly. The chef at home has been idle and has gone anywhere. Chu Yu easily found the meat, wine and vegetables he had cooked a few days ago.

Black Fist Fister requires that daily life be very regular, and that sleep and diet can improve their physical fitness. At this time, he does not care whether these foods are delicious or not. Chu Yu fills his stomach and finally feels that he has some energy in his body.

Then it is exercise to improve your ability to resist and attack. Chu Yu calculated the date and found that it was only five days before Laba Festival. It was absolutely impossible to improve his body to the level of his previous life in such a short time. Chu Yu couldn't help but feel a little anxious. It was too late to wait, but he still had to exercise to make this weak body stronger.

In the evening, Li Shun came back. Seeing the third young master of the Chu family doing push-ups together on his bed, he felt strange. He had never seen anyone do such a move. He sneered and said, "You really have the attitude to come back..."

Chu Yu ignored him and continued his training, push-ups to exercise his arm strength, sit-ups to exercise his waist and abdomen strength, and squats to exercise his legs. Although it is very difficult to do now, he believes that these basic training will definitely allow him to find the feeling of the fighting field he had in his previous life.

Li Shun told Mr. Chu and Mrs. Chu about the news of the third son's return. They were so worried that they didn't care much when they heard that their son came back. In fact, they had long felt that this son was dispensable. They had long been desperate about the future of the Chu family. The Chu family was already desperate, and Chu Yu was already half dead. The tenth day of the twelfth lunar month was the day for major merchants to repay their accounts, and that was the death of the Chu family. No one had any hope for the Chu family and Chu Yu.

At this time, Su Xue, the eldest daughter of the Su family in Yangzhou City, was staring blankly at the red window flowers on the window.

She looked at the window flower. The window flower was cut with the pattern of magpies climbing to the plum blossoms, which was vivid. Her beautiful face was reflected on the glass, her cheeks were like the moon, her eyebrows were as curved as dark as dark, but there was a lot of sorrow between her eyebrows.

Her facial features are delicate and tender, her figure is graceful and her expression is graceful. She is the number one beauty in Yangzhou mentioned by people. She is a talented woman who is proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. But why..., is it really that beauty has been so sad since ancient times?

The maid Xin'er came over, looked at her in a daze, and whispered: "Miss, are you thinking about the eldest son of the Chu family again?"

Su Xue sighed and said angrily: "Ghost girl, what do you know?"

"I don't know anything," Xin'er said: "I just heard that in three days it will be the Three Seventh Day of Master Chu's Day, and in five days it will be the Laba Festival. It is the day when the master sets a martial arts competition for the lady to invite the couple."

"Yes..." The sorrow condensed on Su Xue's beautiful face again. She said softly: "Relatives or melancholy, others have already sang. Who would still think of the eldest son of the Chu family? And I am just a tool, and everything I have already been set by my father..."

Xin'er was stunned, "Why are you going to marry a martial arts competition? With the beauty of the young lady and the wealth of our Su family, the rich young masters in Yangzhou will definitely squeeze the heads for the young lady. Are you not expecting it at all?"

"Will the fish look forward to being put on the counter for sale? Will the bird look forward to being put in a cage?" Su Xue said lightly, "I was raised by my parents until I was eighteen years old. Is it the one who is waiting for the rich young man in Yangzhou who fought on the ring for me?"

Xin'er was speechless for a moment, feeling that the lady's weak appearance had sad things that she could not control.

"As soon as I was born, they made a marriage for me. I have also met the eldest son of the Chu family. What an outstanding person he was. He was both elegant and civil and military, and was polite to me. I could see that he was not greedy for my family's money, but he liked me. I played the piano to him, and he explained the poems of Chu Ci and Tang, saying things about love and politeness to me. Sometimes I really think he was my lifelong companion, and I was happy that my parents chose him for me. But he died..."

Su Xue shed tears, and tears fell on the Yaoqin in front of her, making a "splash" sound.

Xin'er sighed, "When it comes to that Chu family's eldest son, he is the first in Yangzhou City, regardless of character, appearance, reputation and ability. It's a pity that good people don't live long, and it's a pity that you'll be miserable. But Miss, don't be too sad. The day after tomorrow, the master will definitely choose a good man for you, and he may not be worse than the Chu family's eldest son."

"You say that too..." Su Xue wiped the tears on the piano with her sleeve, silently as if she was saying to herself, "Does I have to obey others' mercy in my life?"

Xin'er looked at her worried face and sighed in her heart, saying, "Miss, it's getting late. Tonight, the master invited Mr. Wu from the west of the city to have dinner together. It is said that his second son Wu Cheng has also come. The master specifically told you to go out and meet. Miss, do you want to dress up?"

"I won't go." Su Xue's voice was soft, but she had a twelve-resoluteness. "You tell my father that I'm not feeling well, and I want to take a break soon."

Xin'er had no choice but to comfort the lady, but she didn't know how to speak, so she could only report back to the master for the time being.

Su Xue's hand brushed across the strings, as light as a feather, and the strings made no sound at all.

——————————

The Su family's living room was extremely lively. There was a large round table in it, filled with delicious wine and delicacies. The servants standing outside the living room could smell the delicious food.

Su Youcai and Wu Batian were having a drink, and were having a happy drink. Wu Cheng sat with a smile on his father and stood up from time to time to pour wine for Su Youcai, but his eyes glanced at the corridor from time to time. He really hoped to see Su Xue, the number one beauty in Yangzhou.

"Brother Wu, I really don't know that the son-in-law has something to do with the little girl," Su Youcai was confused and burped, "If I had known this, why would you have a competition? Wouldn't it be more refreshing to have a family directly? Your Wu family's money shop business is spread all over the thirteen provinces of the Ming Dynasty, and I... Is this the only one among the salt merchants in Yangzhou, and the son-in-law is a young hero. If we get married, why wouldn't it be a match between us?"

"Brother Su is right!" Wu Batian said in a rough voice: "Actually, I have wanted to get close to Brother Su for a long time. You only have one daughter, so you betrothed to the boy of the Chu family early, which is not convenient for a while. Haha, now, the boy of the Chu family has already returned to the west, and the business of the Chu family is awkward. In the future, our two families can definitely dominate Jiangnan. Then we will make a decision. Then we have the final say?"

"Hahahaha..." Su Youcai laughed loudly, but his laughter suddenly stopped, "But I have to wait for the Laba Festival to attract a bride. I made a statement in advance. Now Yangzhou City has spread all over. If you go back on your word, I'm afraid it won't sound good in the future..."

"Just compete in martial arts, what are you afraid of?" Wu Batian didn't care and said to Wu Cheng: "Cheng'er, do you say that there are people you can't deal with in the martial arts competition in Yangzhou City?"

Wu Cheng smiled and said, "Yes."

Both of them were stunned, and Wu Batian glared and said, "Who? Whose martial arts is better than you?"

"Master Baiyun from Qingxu Temple, Wujue from Tongma Temple, and Huang Ziyuan from our Flying Tiger Escort Agency in Yangzhou City," Wu Cheng said with a giggle: "But they are either monks and Taoists or middle-aged men who have even their sons. If you talk about the rich boys, I, Wu Cheng, don't take it seriously."

Hearing this, the two of them burst into laughter again.

"Then it's decided," Su Youcai patted his palm on the table, "In a few days of the ring competition, I hope Cheng'er, you will win, pass the hurdles, and promote the marriage between your father and I!"

"Yes," Wu Cheng was overjoyed and knelt down and said, "Son-in-law, thank you father-in-law first!"

The three of them laughed in unison and drank a few more cups. Su Youcai seemed to be drunk and left his body. He hugged Wu Batian's shoulder and said, "Brother Wu, tell me the truth. This time Chu Hansheng was defeated like a mountain road, and wealth was like a wind scattered. It was really strange. Is it your brother who was striking it?"

Wu Batian sneered slightly, "Why do you think I'm messing around?"

"Isn't this obvious?" Su Youcai burped and said, "The Chu family and your Wu family are both in the money shop business. If you or not, he or she is not you, Yangzhou City is not worthy of two tigers. The Chu family was robbed overnight this time, and his eldest son was still dead. You said that why did a person fall to death from the horse for a long time? Now I, Old Su, can't help them anymore. They almost lost the fig leaf for the New Year, and were waiting for the merchants to be squeezed to death on the tenth day of the twelfth lunar month. Who would do it if they were so many things together?"

Wu Batian thought about it, approached Su Youcai, and smiled and said, "Brother Su, you know that my name is Wu Batian, but I am not domineering at all. Our two families are both well-known people in Yangzhou City. Your eldest son Su Mao is the guard of Emperor Jianwen of Yingtian Prefecture, and my Wuting is the general under the King of Yan of Beiping. Our two families have achieved this level of business. Who said that it was not that they had refuted the power of the two children openly and secretly? Chu Hansheng, he started from scratch and could compete with me all the way. He also knew that no one in the court could do, so he asked his son Chu Feng to go to the capital to take the exam to become an official. He hehe, if his wishful thinking was made, my Wu family was afraid that the first one would be unlucky. If there was no long-term plan, there would be immediate worries. Do you think..."

"So that..."

"I didn't say anything." Wu Batian laughed and picked up the wine glass, "It's all wine talk, it's all drunken words, haha..."

Su Youcai seemed to not understand, shook his body, and suddenly fell on the wine table, with the soup covered with wine and vegetables. Then he heard the snoring sound and fell asleep.

Everyone had long seen that he was so drunk that he was unconscious. He didn't expect that he would be so unconscious. He was busy coming to support him, wiped his face and changed his clothes, sobered up with the sober soup, and ran around to tell Mrs. Su, and he was suddenly panicked.

Seeing that he was so embarrassed, Wu Batian cursed in his heart: "It's such a fool to be able to drink and show off his power. I really don't know how the Su family made such a big industry. Humph, now that the Chu family has collapsed, it will be your turn in a few years."

The owner was drunk and it was not convenient for them to stay for a long time. He was polite and said goodbye and went back.
