Chapter 34: The First Birthday Banquet
The lives of the four of them did not change because of Yin Hongxuan's sudden visit, and the small incident did not even stir up a splash, and life returned to peace.
Reading, lounging, and playing poker, I don't feel the waves behind Yin Cheng at all.
A week passed in a blink of an eye, and it was finally time for the first birthday banquet of Yin Lin, the youngest son of the Yin City Lord.
Bai Ye was not interested in the first birthday banquet, he was interested in the city lord of Yin.
I've been here for so long and I've never seen this legendary figure. He was very curious about what kind of person this revolutionary party and careerist was targeting, and what kind of person Yin Bin and the city lord of Yin Bin who supported the Yin family in this situation.
When Ying Ying brought a few people to the main hall where the banquet was held, it was already full of guests. The hall is brightly lit and magnificent, and there are jade plate delicacies on the table, delicacies, and the sound of elegant silk and bamboo is endless.
The guests were seated in the wings, and the chairman, a woman, carried a child in her arms.
Yin Hongxuan sat in the second seat and still looked so imposing, still dressed so pompously, but a little solemn.
After that, there are the direct positions of Yingying. It seems that because of Yingying, their seats for the white night are specially arranged here. So the four of them sat happily together.
It seems that the people in the position know Ying Ying very well, and they know that if they don't do this, Ying Ying may not be able to sit here with face.
The Yin family has a big business, but except for the three outsiders in Bai Ye, there are only six people sitting in front of the begging: the mother and son, plus Ying Ying and his three elder brothers.
Bai Ye knew some reasons for this situation, and he asked Zheng Jun a lot about the Yin family these days.
Yingying: They are useless uncles and uncles. The current Yin family lives in Yin Bin, and the reason why he sits outside the family is because his brothers are dead, but he is still alive.
Don't get me wrong, it wasn't that Yin Bin killed his brothers in a frenzy, but that the cultivation of the body refining period allowed him to have a longer lifespan, and his brothers all died of old age. Now he is three hundred years old.
The one who is really heartbroken is Yin Hongxuan. Zheng Jun told Bai Ye that the three-hundred-year-old Yin Bin gave birth to more than 20 children, not to mention more than 20 children, and all those who opposed Yin Hongxuan are now gone.
Yin Bin rarely shows up, and now Yin Hongxuan can be said to be the leader of the Yin family.
How strong Yin Hongxuan's deterrent power is in Yincheng is to know by looking at the current situation. Let a woman and child sit in the chair, and all the guests below are not convinced. But since Yin Hongxuan sat in the second seat, everyone could only be silent.
You must know that Yin Bin has no wives and concubines, and all his children are born casually, all of them are illegitimate children. There are a few children, whether they are dead or not, Yin Bin himself does not know. So in the eyes of the guests, the woman on the chair was nothing more than a pariah.
As for that child, since it is the bloodline of the Yin family, it is not unacceptable to everyone, but such a fanfare such a first-year banquet is unprecedented.
You must know that the status of the children of the Yin family in the family is earned by themselves, not by birth. Everyone didn't understand what Yin Hongxuan wanted to do.
Yingying's seat is the position of the Yin family's branches, and the top few people, including those with white hair and drooping hair, and those who are in their prime, are a few brothers and sisters who were released by Yin Hongxuan.
Further on, there are a number of large and small families. Bai Ye noticed that Li Jin, who had harassed him some time ago, was among them, and there was a man who looked very cold sitting next to her.
"Shoot, shoot. In the light music, Yin Hongxuan clapped his hands, the music stopped abruptly, and the hall was silent.
The crowd thought the feast was about to begin, but they saw a group of guards pouring in from the door, standing on both sides of the road. The frightened frizzy guest almost stood up from his seat. Why, if we are not happy, they want to kill us all?
Immediately afterwards a group of maids rushed in, carrying two things, and knelt before the chairman.
Everyone was confused, but they were all relieved. There are many people below who have ghost armor in their hearts, and they are all afraid that Yin Hongxuan will suddenly go crazy and kill them here, so that all kinds of hard work and plans will come to naught.
At this time, Yin Hongxuan got up solemnly and came to the front of the chairman.
"These two things are my first birthday gift to Yin Lin. ”
Everyone was a little speechless, their gifts were handed over in the lobby, Yin Hongxuan, if you want to be special, there is no need to be so public. Sure enough, it is worthy of the reckless Yin family.
Yin Hongxuan picked up the first item and put it in front of Yin Lin, who had just turned one year old, this long sword full of treasure.
"The heirloom sword of the Yin family, put it away carefully. ”
I picked up another one, which was an ordinary-looking jade slip.
"Although the sword is good, if it is used wrongly, it will be irretrievable, and when he is literate, let him carefully study the exercises in the jade slip, the sword can be lost, and the exercises cannot be lost, "The future of the Yin family depends on you."
The guests looked at Yin Hongxuan, who was directed and acted by himself like a clown in front of them, and some wanted to laugh, but they tried to get serious and began to think about what conspiracy he was doing...... Practicing and breaking your brain?
Some of the Yin family members who have practiced the Spirit Devouring Decision are terrified, could it be that the Spirit Devouring Duel will become like this when they practice it in the depths? Is it better for me to give up.
After doing all this, Yin Hongxuan turned around and swept over everyone with a cold gaze, not knowing what he was thinking.
I clapped my hands again.
The guards and maids retreated, and a group of flamboyant dancers walked to the center, and the joyful music suddenly began, and the feast finally began.
The guests also gradually recovered from the strange scene just now, the atmosphere in the hall gradually became high-pitched, and several people in the white night also began to eat and drink.
Bai Ye ate absent-mindedly, he was a little curious, what kind of exercises are in the jade slip, the favorite of the Yin family, the soul swallowing decision? I'm afraid not. Yin Hongxuan is so interesting.
"White Night, the pattern of the entire Yin City is reflected in this hall. Zheng Jun suddenly accosted Bai Ye and pulled Bai Ye back from his cranky thoughts.
"I want to hear about it. "I know you have to say it even if I don't want to hear it.
Zheng Jun could see that Bai Ye was a little impatient, but he did have a desire to introduce the city to Bai Ye.
"At the end are scattered small families, they have the name of a family in Yincheng, but without the power of the family, they are actually not much stronger than ordinary people. There are a lot of them, and today Yin Hongxuan only invited a few near the main city. ”
Bai Ye looked at the people sitting at the back, cramped and uneasy, and only smiled resignedly, and sighed.
"Further back, Li, Sun, Qian, and Zhou, the four families are the backbone of Yin Cheng's forces in addition to the Yin family. Scattered all over Yincheng. Their strength alone is not as good as the Yin family, but together, even the Yin family cannot be compared. ”
These are the beneficiaries and defenders of Yincheng's feudal rule, and in such a form, even if the Yin family wants to change, it may not be easy.
"These behind us are all direct and side branches of the Yin family, and they are also scattered all over the place, restraining the forces of the four major families. ”
Are these the main forces of the Yin family's rule? Bai Ye looked at these arrogant and nervous people, and he was a little unconvinced.
"The two around us plus Yin Hongxuan, Yingying's three elder brothers, they are the ones who make decisions about the major affairs of Yin City, and the one who looks elegant is Yin Hongxuan's younger brother Yin Hongyi, and he is mostly responsible for government affairs. The one with the oldest face is Yin Kui, who is responsible for some projects of the Yin family and various families, and he is the one who travels the most in various families. And the forces of Yincheng's government guards and guards are all in the hands of Yin Hongxuan. ”
Among Yingying's brothers, Yin Hongxuan is the eldest, but he looks the youngest. Yin Hongyi feels gentle and very kind. And Yin Kui looks mean. The strange thing is that their position is not far away, and with the ears of a cultivator, they should be able to fully hear Zheng Jun's comments, but they don't say anything.
This made Bai Ye realize that Zheng Jun seemed to have a very high status in the Yin family, and in the entire Yin family, only Yin Hongxuan dared to embarrass him.
"Finally, the Lord of Yin City, who should have sat in the chairman's position, is the most powerful person in Yincheng, and he holds the strongest force in Yincheng, the only regular army, the Acropolis Army. ”
I forgot ...... Isn't the purpose of my coming to the banquet just to meet this Yin City Lord? My son's first birthday banquet didn't come, no wonder Yin Hongxuan was so unscrupulous.
Bai Ye finally remembered the original purpose of his first birthday party. Apparently his purpose was frustrated.
