Chapter 31: A Family
The snow was blowing heavily, the family sat in the hall and chatted affectionately, all kinds of gifts were piled up all over the house, and the guards in the courtyard stood solemnly, and after a while, they became snowmen.
Father Ye looked up and saw that he was quite uneasy, so he quickly got up and said, "Oops! There are so many people standing in the courtyard, this house is small, how can it be recruited, but such a big snow ......"
Ye Xiaotian smiled and pulled him to sit down, and said, "Dad, don't be too careful, my people are not only in the yard, there are more than 100 people outside, no matter how big the house is, it may not be able to recruit it, and I will arrange a place to settle down in a while." ”
Ye Dou was unhappy: "Son, you have been gone for a few years, do you know how much your mother misses you, you just came back, and you don't live at home?" Although the family is a little poor, it is ......"
Ye Xiaotian hurriedly said: "Hey! Mother, you say that, the son is uneasy, it's not that the son doesn't want to live at home, it's really a large population, you see, there are two houses, father, mother, eldest brother, sister-in-law, I used to use a bench in the hall to set up a shop, look at your delicate daughter-in-law, are you willing to let her work with me on the floor? ”
As soon as Ye Xiaotian said this, Doni's pretty face suddenly turned red, and she lowered her head shyly and didn't speak, Ye Dou's family is very rare This fairy-like daughter-in-law, the more she looks at it, the more she loves it, and she laughed with her eyebrows: "That's what I said, I want to let you live in the hall, you child must not be willing, such a delicate daughter-in-law, how can I let her suffer a crime, you go to live in the inn, you can't leave too early, tomorrow morning, you have to come back!" ”
Sister-in-law Ye brought the tea over, handed it to Ye Xiaotian diligently, and said, "Second uncle drinks tea, it's not a good tea, don't dislike it!" ”
Ye Xiaotian took the cup with both hands and said with a smile: "Sister-in-law, don't you see outside." I've been living here since I was a child. The son doesn't think the mother is ugly, the dog doesn't think the family is poor, you see me being so magnificent, isn't that the face of our Ye family, I still put up music when I go back to my own home, what kind of thing is that. ”
As soon as Ye Xiaotian said this, the whole family laughed.
Sister-in-law Ye came to Doni and sat down, looked at her delicate appearance enviously, and said, "Doni, you are so handsome." Look at this little look, it hurts so much. In the future, we will be concubines, and we have to be close to each other. ”
Doni glanced at Ye Xiaotian quickly, and said shyly: "Sister-in-law, don't say that, people...... They are just Brother Xiaotian's concubines, and they don't dare to call you concubines. ”
Sister-in-law Ye was taken aback and said, "What? You ......"
Ye Dou said angrily to his son: "You kid. It's really a long job, such a handsome girl, you are only a concubine, look at the one who dragged you. People aren't worthy of being your daughter-in-law, what's wrong? ”
Before Ye Xiaotian could speak, Doni had already rushed to say: "Mother-in-law, don't blame Brother Xiaotian, people ...... People are willing to follow Brother Xiaotian. It doesn't matter what the title is. Besides, Brother Xiao Tian already has a wife candidate, not only is his status noble. And she's ten times more beautiful than me. ”
Ye Dou was dumbfounded: "Ten times more beautiful than you?" Don't tease me, don't say you're much more beautiful than you, it's rare to be as handsome as you. ”
Doni hurriedly said: "Really, really, mother-in-law, how dare I lie to you, people are really much more handsome than me." ”
Father Ye listened and asked Ye Xiaotian with some curiosity: "Son, you have already found a daughter-in-law?" ”
Ye Xiaotian hurriedly said: "Dad, my son just likes her, and he hasn't gotten engaged yet, of course, this matter has to go through your second elder's ......."
Father Ye waved his hand and said, "Hey! I don't blame you for this, you child, you are out, you really ask your father to come forward, what can your father help you, my father wants to ask, whose child is that girl? Could it be that she is a girl from a big official's family? Our Ye family, can we be worthy of others? Don't ......"
Father Ye is also because of Sister-in-law Ye, so he is really a little scared. At the beginning, because the family background may not be as good as others, and because the daughters of other families are beautiful, they were wronged and begged to marry back, but even their in-laws were angry, and when they heard Doni say that the daughter-in-law who Xiaotian wanted to marry was noble, she couldn't help but feel worried.
Before Ye Xiaotian could speak, Su Xuntian on the side spoke: "Old man, don't worry, your daughter-in-law, a fairy-like character, is handsome, gentle and virtuous, especially listen to Lord Ye's words!" As for the background, hehe, originally, even if our Lord Ye is an official in the government, it is not worthy of others, but our Lord Ye is now the master of Tusi, not an official! ”
How did Ye Dou know whether the toast was square or round, whether it could be eaten or used, and she thought it was equivalent to a foreign master, so she was anxious: "How do you say this?" My second child was dismissed by the imperial court? ”
Ye Xiaotian couldn't cry or laugh, and said, "Mother, it's not that you are exempted from the official. I'm a different kind of official, a bigger kind of official......"
Father Ye's eyes lit up when he heard this, he was in the capital, and he had been a jailer in the prison all his life, he could be said to be well-informed, but he was also very unfamiliar with the title of toast, and he was busy saying: "How big?" It won't be as big as the prefect, right? ”
Su Xuntian pursed his mouth and said, "Prefect? Can't compare! ”
Father Ye was relieved and said with a smile: "I'll just say, no matter how good the second child is, can he still jump to the sky?" If this is bigger than the prefect's lord, it's simply not true! ”
Doni laughed "poof", quickly covered her mouth, and glanced at her in-laws with smart eyes, seeing that they were not angry, and then explained: "Father-in-law, mother-in-law, what Mr. Su said can't compare, he means that the prefect can't compare to Brother Xiaotian." ”
As soon as she said this, even Sister-in-law Ye was stunned, seeing that the little uncle was so capable, and the entire Ye family was going to ascend to heaven, she didn't know how happy she was, of course, she also complained a little in her heart that her man was incompetent, but it was still the most joyful component.
At this moment, when she heard that the little uncle was more powerful than the prefect, Sister-in-law Ye couldn't sit still, and she always felt that she had to get up and stand solemnly while feeling steady, she stared at the apricot eyes, and said in surprise: "More powerful than the prefect?" ”
When Ye Xiaotian left the capital, his little nephew was still too young, so now he has no impression of him, he chatted with his family, tied to the pillar in his mother's arms, looked at him with both timidity and joy, and did not dare to speak.
He saw that this person was born exactly like his father, that is, the second uncle that his grandfather, grandmother and he had talked about, he was already a little close, plus this second uncle brought so many delicious and beautiful gifts, he was even more happy, but Ye Xiaotian had been in a high position for a long time, and his bearing was naturally cultivated, although he had no intention of putting up a fight in front of his family, but some habits were natural, and the child had a strong intuition, so he was a little in awe.
Now hearing this, my curiosity rose, and I finally couldn't help asking, "Uncle...... Uncle, how old are you, are you more powerful than the Eight Governors? ”
Ye Xiaotian couldn't help but laugh when he heard that he didn't even have an official position, and only appeared in the opera, and pinched his face affectionately, and said with a smile: "Then where can it be compared, but people have Shang Fang's sword, and the minister of Qincha." ”
Su Xuntian said: "Little guy, your uncle, is even more powerful than the Eight Mansion Patrol!" I'll just say this, that is, when the head of the court and the prime minister, the emperor's brothers and brothers, those princes, are not as good as your uncle! ”
As soon as these words came out, Father Ye, Ye Dou's family, and Sister-in-law Ye were all stunned. Father Ye said sneeringly: "No...... No way? Mr. Su, don't coax me, this ...... Our family Xiaotian, how can he be such a big official, impossible, impossible, impossible......"
Ye Xiaotian smiled and waved his hand, wanting to be humble, Su Xuntian had already rushed to say, "Old man, you don't know anything." To say, this first auxiliary minister is indeed powerful, helping the emperor to manage the whole world, this, Lord Ye can't compare. If you want to say that those princes, royal relatives and nobles, in fact, when it comes to the preciousness of identity, Lord Ye is indeed incomparable, but why do I say that Lord Ye is more powerful than them? ”
Su Xuntian said that he moved the bench closer, and said: "Our Lord Ye is not as many people as Shoufu University, and the territory of our Lord Ye is not as good as Shoufu University, but our Lord Ye is a toast, that is, hereditary replacement, father to son, son to grandson, generation to generation, thousands of years, university scholars can compare?"
Besides, the prince, the prince is a vassal domain, has a feudal country, and has people, but can he manage it? They did not even dare to take a step in the city where they lived, lest they would be accused of rebellion. The local ministers also stayed away from them, and wanted to avoid suspicion. How much power does the prince who is only trapped in his own palace every day have?
But our Lord Ye is hereditary like them, but within his territory, he can't do whatever he wants without a king, if he wants to live, if he wants to die, he will die! Some princes dare to be so domineering? If there is a small mistake, you have to prevent someone from going to the emperor to impeach him. But Master Toast, that's a privilege allowed by the emperor, do you say it's better than the prince? ”
Su Xuntian looked outside, lowered his voice and said, "There are no outsiders here, I have another big rebellious word." The toast masters in Guizhou are all inherited for five or six hundred years or thousands of years, and the oldest toast is from the Han Dynasty. Got it? The emperor can be replaced, the world can be replaced, but the Tusi family is rare to change for thousands of years, and it is more stable than being the emperor sitting on the country! ”
When Su Xuntian said this, Father Ye and Ye Dou were already so shocked that they couldn't say a word. Sister-in-law Ye looked at her brother-in-law with envy, and she was also speechless. Since marrying into the Lao Ye family, she has always felt wronged herself, but she has been married for so long and has children, so she can only accept her fate.
Now, she suddenly felt that she didn't know how much blessing she had accumulated in her previous life to marry into the Lao Ye family. Although she looked at Ye Xiaotian's face that was exactly the same as her man, she also had regrets in her heart: no matter how capable people are, they are their own uncles after all, and they are not as good as their own men. But her man can't pick his shoulders, he can't lift his hands, he doesn't have any skills, and he has added a bad habit in the past two years, and he is worried that this family doesn't know how to maintain it. Now the uncle's great fortune is a great joy after all.
