Chapter 166 For Money and Fame
Chapter 166 For Money and Fame
The woman also noticed Gu Qingyuan. When Gu Qingyuan looked over, she walked towards her and looked her up and down.
Gu Qingyuan smiled politely and stepped aside, but the woman thought she was scared and asked, "Are you here to participate in this year's martial arts competition as well?"
"good."
"With your skinny arms and legs..."
As the woman spoke, she touched her chin, as if she was considering whether Gu Qingyuan could beat the others present.
Feeling that she meant no harm, Gu Qingyuan smiled slightly and said, "Thank you for your concern, but I'm curious, haven't you won the championship twice before? Why are you here again this year?"
After all, there are still many people waiting to watch the fun this year. The reputation of winning two championships in a row is already loud enough. If we fail to win the championship this year, wouldn’t it be a laughing stock?
"Who would complain about having too much money?" the woman said honestly.
You know, the champion of every martial arts competition can get a huge prize, and she just happens to be short of money.
That’s true. Gu Qingyuan thought this explanation was reasonable and stood and chatted with her for a while.
During the conversation, Gu Qingyuan learned that this "Barbie" was actually called You Yu and was not from Beijing.
You Yu's parents died early, and he is actually almost 30 years old this year. He has his own small house in the capital.
She participated in the martial arts competition in order to earn money to treat her husband's illness. Her husband had a strange disease and had to take a lot of medicine every month.
These medicines cost a lot of money. You Yu once rejected the invitation from the palace in order to stay and accompany her husband.
After listening to this, Gu Qingyuan sighed for a moment, then suddenly remembered something and asked her, "In that case, if I can cure your husband's illness, can you come work for me?"
"Thank you for your kindness, Master Gu. However, I still want to accompany him."
You Yu said this with a hint of sadness in his eyes.
It’s not that she didn’t find a doctor for A Wang, but when those doctors saw him, they all shook their heads helplessly and said that it would be better to prepare for his funeral as soon as possible.
But You Yu was unwilling to give up, so she finally found a doctor with a strange temper. The medicine he prescribed could temporarily alleviate A Wang's condition, but buying medicine for A Wang every month was a huge expense.
She even began to consider whether she could get more money to pay for Awang's medical treatment if she worked in the palace.
"Miss You may not know that my father was also a doctor. He left behind a medical book that contains treatments for some difficult and complicated diseases."
If she could find out from the medical books what disease You Yu's husband A Wang had, and then prescribe the right medicine and cure A Wang, You Yu would have nothing to worry about.
As expected, after hearing Gu Qingyuan's words, You Yu's eyes flashed with confusion.
"Well, let's talk about it later."
She took Ah Wang to many places and saw many doctors. From being full of hope at the beginning to now, she is almost ready to accept her fate.
Every day, when You Yu saw Ah Wang lying in bed, forcing a smile to comfort himself and saying that he was fine, he felt uncomfortable.
"Okay, Miss You can think about it carefully."
You Yu nodded, then pretended to be relaxed and said, "I came to the martial arts competition for money. Young Master Gu should not be short of money, right? Why are you also short of money?"
She had heard of Gu Qingyuan's name and had heard other people talking about her before she came over.
Some people said she was arrogant and presumptuous, all of which were negative comments.
But after seeing her appear, You Yu found that this was not the case.
From her conversation, You Yu felt that Gu Qingyuan was not as rude and impolite as others said. She even took the initiative to invite him to work under her.
"For me, it's for money and fame."
As early as when she first came to this world, she had decided that she must win a place in this competition and change other people's views of her.
Another thing is that although General Gu never mentioned it, Gu Qingyuan also knew that she still hoped that she could change other people's views of her.
Not wanting others to mention the three words "Young Master Gu", he just shook his head.
Her mother's lifelong reputation cannot be ruined because of her.
You Yu looked at Gu Qingyuan's determined eyes, smiled and said, "I am also honored to have an opponent like Young Master Gu."
Gu Qingyuan winked at her and said, "Then if we face each other later, Miss You, please be gentle. At least, don't hit me in the face. I still have people to see."
You Yu was amused by her words, and the atmosphere eased a lot for a moment. He also half-jokingly said: "If you want me to let you go, Master Gu will have to pay more."
"rest assured!"
Having won the championship for two consecutive times, there is no need to say much about You Yu's strength. In addition, the martial arts competition not only tests martial arts strength, but also reaction ability.
Gu Qingyuan thought that if such a person joined, it would be like adding wings to a tiger.
As the two chatted and laughed, time passed quietly, and in the blink of an eye, the martial arts competition was about to officially begin.
The participants are divided into two teams, both male and female.
To be fair, there will be one team for men and one team for women.
Because in this world, women are naturally stronger than men. If they are not separated, men may not be able to last more than a few rounds.
But in the end, they still have to compete together to determine the final winner.
Gu Qingyuan counted and found that there were actually hundreds of people participating in the martial arts competition, but the number of men was obviously much smaller, only half of the women's team.
Many people were standing below. Gu Qingyuan met Wen Shubai's eyes. Ji Mingzhao and Zhaomei and Panmei were beside him. Gu Qingyuan mouthed to them, "Be careful."
Wen Shubai understood, nodded, and mouthed to her, "Wife, you have to be careful too."
After announcing the rules, the referee looked at the hundreds of people participating in the competition and said, "Safety is the top priority in today's competition. If a contestant cannot persist, they may choose to withdraw by raising their hands. Withdrawals will be considered eliminated."
A group of people were chattering, but the meaning of their words was that they would definitely persevere.
In the attic not far away, stood a woman of noble status. She was wearing casual clothes today. If outsiders did not look carefully, they would not realize that she was the current emperor.
Eunuch Li beside the empress fanned her and said flatteringly, "Your Majesty, please stay in the palace. Why bother coming out to see it in person in such hot weather?"
The Queen shook her head, looked at the people participating in the martial arts competition, and said, "It's really boring to stay in the palace every day. It's better to go out and see the world."
"Your Majesty said so."
Eunuch Li wiped the sweat from his face and continued to fan himself.
The Queen saw that he was sweating and said, "Go wash your face and come back."
The room was on the third floor, and I had a great view of the scene over there. The windows were all open, and there was ice in the room to keep cool.
It’s not too hot.
