Chapter 63: Origin
Yin Seventeen was about to ask something, but Hua Zilai had already preemptively asked:
"But the village chief of Bianye Village?"
Ye Qisheng shook his head. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Hua Zilai guessed again: "That's the patriarch of the Ye clan!" ”
Zhan Yan and Yin Seventeen both felt that Hua Zilai should have guessed correctly this time, but Ye Qisheng shook his head again.
Neither?
It's not the village chief who is in charge of the affairs of the village, and the clan ancestral hall is not the clan chief who is in charge, so who will it be?
Ye Qisheng looked at the old mother who was still asleep or awake, and seemed to have some concerns on his face.
Zhan Yan noticed: "If Uncle Ye is afraid of disturbing the rest of the old man's house, then we can only go to the house to disturb it." ”
These words were not only to dispel Ye Qisheng's concerns, but also to show his attitude.
Ye Qisheng also understood the meaning of Zhanyan's words, he knew that since he had died, and the official had come to the door, he had to talk about the past that had been sealed for many years.
Ye Qisheng stood up from the low stool and said with a solemn expression:
"Then please ask the three poor masters to succumb to the house and talk about it!"
The three of them naturally had no objections.
Ye Qisheng called Ye Yin out to take care of the old mother again, but took Zhan Yan and the three of them into the small hall where the guests were entertained.
The furnishings in the house are ordinary, but they are not shabby at all, but they contain a bit of bookishness, this Ye Qisheng should have some family background, and he can be regarded as a middle-class and upper-class family in Bian Ye Village.
As soon as he sat down, Ye Qisheng began to speak.
Things have to start with the initial construction of the "Ye Ancestral Hall", which was a long time ago, and Ye Qisheng himself can't say how long it was.
He had also heard it from his deceased grandfather, who didn't know it.
At that time, the ancestors of the Ye family and their families were at the foot of Bianye Village, and then poured all their family property into the village to take root and multiply, and their descendants began to live in this small village for generations.
After a hundred years, the descendants of the Ye family have never been able to prosper.
Don't say that the surname Miao is a small number of other people with foreign surnames, and they have all produced more or less champions in the past hundred years, but the surname Ye does not even have a talent, which makes the patriarch of the Ye clan at that time very distressed.
Ye Qisheng said: "Later, I don't know who mentioned the Jianzong Ancestral Hall first, anyway, the old patriarch at that time agreed!" ”
Yin Seventeen asked, "Is the patriarch of this Ye family passed down from generation to generation?" ”
Ye Qisheng nodded: "Yes." ”
The patriarch of the Ye family has been passed down from generation to generation, but when it came to the one hundred and eleventh generation, there was an accident.
The old patriarch did not come out again, and even the other clansmen surnamed Ye at that time did not produce any more baby boys, and all the babies born were girls.
The old patriarch was shocked, thinking that the clansmen had inadvertently offended the ancestors, and hurriedly summoned all the clansmen to carry out a five-animal sacrifice, which was grander than the previous annual sacrifices.
However, it didn't work.
Decades have passed, and the entire Ye family will soon not see half of the new generation of new men, and the baby girls will grow up and marry one by one.
In the end, the old patriarch couldn't, and he had no better choice when he was over half a hundred years old, so he had to inherit the bloodline by inheriting the eldest daughter of a Ye clan who was closest to him at that time.
When the girl grew up, the old patriarch recruited a son-in-law for her daughter and gave birth to offspring.
Things are also strange.
While the other Ye clan members were still under the spell of giving birth to only girls and not men, the children born to the old patriarch's stepdaughter and the man with a foreign surname were no longer only girls, they gave birth to two female babies and a male baby boy before and after, which made the Ye clan patriarch very happy.
But at the same time, although the baby boy had half of the Ye family's bloodline, he was never his own grandson, and he began to slowly resist the impure bloodline of this future Ye clan patriarch.
But the old patriarch at that time was already old after all, and even if there was resistance, he couldn't change anything, but just planted a dark seed in his heart.
And this seed directly led to the tragedy many years later.
Ye Qisheng stopped when he said this, he picked up the tea cup on the high table, and drank it all in one gulp, so as to quench a little thirst.
He wanted to get up and go to make a cup of tea again, and Yin Seventeen hurriedly handed him his cup of tea:
"I haven't drunk half a cup yet, if Uncle Ye doesn't dislike it, let's drink this cup first!"
She was anxious to hear what was going on, and she didn't want to delay even a moment.
Ye Qisheng unceremoniously took the teacup handed over by Yin Seventeen, raised his head and drank the whole cup in one go.
First, because I was really thirsty, after all, I spoke a series of words in a row, and I didn't stop breathing, and my saliva was dry.
Second, because of these Ye family past events, which have been pressed on his heart for a long time, it is rare to have the opportunity to say it, but he faintly feels that such a thing should not be said, but he said it truthfully regardless of it, and his heart inevitably felt a little heavy like a boulder pressing on his heart.
After pouring all the two cups of tea, Ye Qisheng finally relieved himself, and he exhaled deeply and said:
"The old patriarch is the patriarch of the one hundred and eleventh generation of our Ye family, and the baby boy is the patriarch of the Ye family of the one hundred and twelfth generation......
The old patriarch was overjoyed when he received this strange book, for he was seventy years old, and the baby boy had grown up, and he had married and had children.
The old patriarch secretly put away this strange book and hid it, thinking that he would study it when no one was around.
However, before he could find out what the truth was, he soon died.
And the baby boy took over the position of patriarch of the old patriarch and became the new patriarch of the Ye clan, and the strange book was immediately searched by the baby boy and fell into his hands.
Hua Zilai asked, "Isn't that good?" The incense hasn't stopped! ”
Zhan Yan and Yin Seventeen didn't speak much, and the two always felt that the major events that happened in the Ye family should be not far away from what Ye Qisheng recounted.
Sure enough, after Hua Zilai asked, he saw that Ye Qisheng seemed to remember something terrible, and said with horror and grief on his face:
"Where's the good! Everything was normal before this baby boy grew up to marry a wife and have children, but when he inherited the position of the new patriarch of the Ye family, the nightmare of our entire Ye family will begin! ”
Listening to Ye Qisheng's poignant accusation with a still frightened expression, Yin Seventeen couldn't help asking:
"Uncle Ye, the new patriarch of the Ye clan who grew up with this baby boy is ...... Uncle Ye's ancestor? ”
Ye Qisheng lowered his head and wept, as soon as he heard Yin Seventeen's words, he raised his head as if he had been struck by lightning, and stared straight at Yin Seventeen for a moment, sharp and cold.
When they first saw Ye Qisheng, Zhan Yan and the three of them saw that the hair on his forehead had gray hair, although he was not confused, he was strong and strong, with a simple smile, and he was a simple, hospitable and happy middle-aged farmer.
Along the way, Zhan Yan and Yin Seventeen heard Hua Zi say that Ye Qisheng and his wife did not have children, and the two seven-year-old and nine-year-old boys were the two adopted sons that Ye Qisheng raised when he was almost forty years old.
But at this moment......
