Chapter 81: Queue up to send your daughter-in-law
Large pieces of meat, large bowls of wine, the atmosphere in the martial arts arena reached its peak, and everyone was indulging in the joy brought by food and wine.
Especially these orphans of the Yijun, Ye Kai was afraid that they would not be able to eat too well when they arrived in the Aptar year, these days it has been coarse tea and light rice mainly light, and now they have finally eaten a good meal, the numbness on their faces quietly disappeared, and the long-lost smile returned to everyone's face.
Ye Kai nodded at Li and Wei, who were eating, and Li and Wei reluctantly put down the big bone in their hands, wiped their mouths arrogantly, and stood up.
"Li Zhou, come here!" She nodded at the women at the tables next to him, and the women, who were also eating happily, suddenly squirmed.
This is Ye Kai's second reward, the forty-four children of the Ye family who did not die in battle, each of them can get a pure-blooded Chinese wife, and those who have a family can get thirty acres of fertile land.
The Ye family, who didn't know what Ye Kai was going to do, began to buzz to each other, but Chen Wenqi, who had long known what to do, and had been paying attention, came to the spirit at once!
Although he is the fourth young master of the Chen family, his mother is a nyonya, and although the Chen family is known as the second largest family after the Ye family in the northern year, there are only more people than other families.
The Chen family came to Peking University late, did not occupy any good place, and because of the struggle with the Malay natives near Songkhla every year, life has been tight, so although he has the name of the fourth young master, he does not want to marry Nyonya, and he has never been able to marry a daughter-in-law.
His eyes were firmly fixed on a woman who was thin and looked like a woman with a pitiful temperament, and when he was standing in a military posture in front of the small platform, Chen Wenqi fell in love with this woman at a glance.
"Huang Laosi!" Li and Wei shouted, "It's coming!" Here it comes! A short man threw away the leg of mutton in his hand with a loud bang, and ran over with a leap of three feet.
Huang Laosi ran to the women, he looked left and right, his saliva was about to fall, and the funny appearance made the standing woman laugh for a while.
These more than 40 women are all carefully selected by Li and Wei, except for the fact that they have not eaten good noodles and dishes, their appearance is relatively passable, and they all want to get married, these women who have suffered enough are eager to marry a reliable person and live a stable life, so there is nothing to twist.
Huang Laosi, who was dazzled, looked around, which made Chen Wenqi panic for a while, for fear that the woman he liked would be picked away by Huang Laosi, damn it, isn't it just to kill two more Burmese than Lao Tzu, what's the big deal, next time Lao Tzu will definitely kill ten more than you, Chen Wenqi secretly made up his mind in his heart.
"Huang Laosi! Do you want to pick or not, Lao Tzu's cave room has been arranged, let you pick so much, Lao Tzu will not have to be in the middle of the night! ”
Fortunately, it didn't take long for the scolding below to sound, Huang Laosi gritted his teeth and picked a slightly stronger woman, and Chen Wenqi's heart was slightly lowered!
But when Huang Laosi wanted to pull the woman away, Li Youwei smiled at him with a pair of scissors, Huang Laosi touched the braid on the back of his head and hesitated for a moment, then pinched the woman's soft little hand, and then turned his head to look at Ye Kai, who had grown a long head, he strained to take out a few drops of saliva from his dry mouth, and swallowed it with a crunt.
"Cut it! Cut it! In fact, Lao Tzu wanted to cut his braids when he was in Bangkok, this thing is really fucking in the way, Lao Tzu's second brother If it weren't for the fact that he was caught with the braids, the little Burmese man would definitely not be able to beat him, so Lao Tzu didn't want it, anyway, Young Master Shuwu was also bald! Huang Laosi clenched his right hand into a fist and smashed it heavily into the palm of his left hand.
Cutting braids for these dozens of people is something that Ye Kai has thought about a long time ago, first, he is really disgusted to look at this braid, and secondly, it is similar to what Huang Laosi said, marching and fighting, this braid is indeed very obstructive, especially when it comes to hand-to-hand combat, it is simply a disaster!
Because it is easy to be stabbed to death by someone twisting the braid, don't ask why the Eight Banners soldiers before entering the customs did not think that the braids were in the way, at that time, it was a money rat tail, and the current yin and yang head are completely different things!
Huang Laosi finished cutting his braids in a chic manner, and there were bursts of buzzing discussions in the crowd, the Manchu Qing Dynasty has ruled China for more than 100 years, and many people no longer know that the original Han people did not have braids.
In this society where the body is indestructible to parents, Ye Kai cut his braids and could barely be said to marry the princess of the Guangnan Ruan family, Huang Laosi In the eyes of others, he is sick.
After several hardships, it was finally Chen Wenqi's turn, and when he went on stage, he excitedly threw a dog to gnaw mud, causing bursts of laughter.
Chen Wenqi did not hesitate, walked straight towards the chosen target, took the woman's hand and ran home, not even bothering to eat.
In the family, the elder brother and younger brothers who had already gone back in advance had already prepared everything he needed for the worship hall, after all, he was the fourth young master of the Chen family's room, and he couldn't compare to other hardships haha, the number of etiquette was still required.
Watching the women being picked away one by one, the exclamations on the martial arts field turned into naked jealousy, and many young bachelors sighed, watching others go to the cave room beautifully, and the big fish and meat couldn't arouse their interest!
They all looked at Ye Kai in unison, because they all knew that the future patriarch of the Ye family still had at least thousands of Chinese women of appropriate age in his hands.
。。。。
Zhongyi Hall, this is a hall located outside the Ye family ancestral hall, once there is a major event in the clan, they will come here to discuss.
Ye Fulai sat in the main seat, he drank a little too much last night, Ye Kai, who seemed a little unenergetic, sat under Ye Fulai, he looked around the room, except for the third uncle Ye Fulai who came from Bangkok in a hurry, the other people were not too close to him.
Although the power of the Ye family's elder council has been reduced to a very small amount since Ye Longxin and Ye Fulai, father and son have been the patriarchs for decades, when it comes to deciding major events in the clan, it still needs the approval of the elder council.
Only when the Council of Elders passes, Ye Fulai can fully mobilize all the forces of the Ye family, otherwise he can only mobilize his own cronies, this family model is especially like the Khitan eight-part system in the early Liao State and the eight-banner main system of wild boar skin in the early days.
The advantage is that it is conducive to the scattered development and growth of the family on weekdays, but the disadvantage is that the head of the family does not have absolute power, and it is difficult to quickly integrate all the forces in the moment of life and death.
This power model can still confront the natives of the Upper South Seas, but there is no advantage at all in the attack on the national model or quasi-state model of the Western colonizers, and a few decades later, the Lanfang Kingdom died under this model, and was disintegrated and broken by the Dutch colonists.
"Ahem!" After seeing that everyone had arrived, Ye Fulai coughed dryly twice, "I have gathered the elders of all families and houses today to come here, there is a big matter to discuss with you."
My eyes in the Sultan's palace reported that the Sultan's prime minister, Bagadur, had sent people to Pahang and Johor, and they were going to borrow 2,000 soldiers to prepare to clear our Ye family from Pattani in one fell swoop! ”
Ye Fulai's words exploded in the Zhongyi Hall like a bomb, and the elders of the Ye family's second to sixth rooms, the patriarchs of the Chen family, the Jiang family, and the Huang family all talked about it with surprise on their faces.
Although the struggle between the Chinese and the natives has been a common thing in various parts of Pattani, the fact that one side wants to exterminate the other has not happened for many years, what does this Bagadur want to do?
"Da Lang, this Pattani natives have been at peace with us for many years, and my Ye family didn't just come to live in Pattani City today, why do they want to do such a thing now? Is there a misunderstanding? ”
An old man with a silver braid and a melon skin hat asked.
Ye Fulai's little eyes flashed, and he instantly regained his calm, the entire Ye family will still call him Dalang, that is, the head of this three-room family, his ninth uncle Ye Wenxin!
This old guy, knowing that Bagadur did this because he was frightened by the King of Siam's move to win over Ye Fulai's father and son and knight them, he also asked in a grand manner, and his heart can be punished!
