Chapter 193: The Wind Rises and Rises on Baowan Island
Hearing this, Xiangyan said lightly: "I hope it's really as you said." ”
……
Wuzhou crosses the sea for 300 miles in the east, in Yejiazhuang, Baowan Island.
A middle-aged man asked a man who looked like a slave, "Is the young lady in the room?" ”
The slave replied respectfully, "Back to the words of the Ye patriarch, the young lady is painting in the room. ”
The middle-aged man looked at the faint candlelight in the room and sighed, Huashan, Dad can't help you.
This middle-aged man is the head of the Ye family in Yejiazhuang, Ye Xuan.
Two days ago, in order to win over the reformist Ye family, the Lei family of the Qin faction proposed a family marriage, and Ye Huashan, the only daughter of the patriarch of the Ye family, married Lei Ling, the third son of the Lei family, as his wife, otherwise, the Qin faction would sweep away the Ye family on the grounds that the Ye family had defected to the enemy!
What is the Lei family's thoughts, the major families on Baowan Island all know it but don't say it, it's nothing more than Lei Ling fell in love with Ye Huashan, the only daughter of the head of the Ye family, and wanted to take it as his wife, Lei Laosan is the treasure of Lei Tianyun, the head of the Lei family, and among the Qin faction, the Lei family can be said to be a dominant family, basically what the Lei family says is what the Qin faction means, and the other big families of the Qin faction will only scramble for flattery and slap horses, not to mention the small families in the Qin faction.
Among the reformers, whether it is the Ye family or other families of the Qin Dynasty, the family of the Kou Kingdom is afraid to lend a hand when they are in danger, and even the families that usually have a lot of dealings with the Ye family have become jealous recently, and Yejiazhuang is already in a state of being a bird.
And the Kou faction is naturally happy to hear and gloat, the Qin faction and the reformists are the best to fight, they have already discussed, the Lei family marries and they will go to make trouble, if the Ye family has the courage to fight with the Lei family, they don't mind reaching out to make things bigger, it is best to let the Ye family and the Lei family lose both!
"Ye Xuan Lao'er, I'll put my words here today, if Lao Tzu can't marry Ye Huashan, I will flatten your Ye family, so that your Ye family has no place to live, and there is no place to bury your death!" Lei Yun put down a cruel sentence and slammed the door with the guards of Leijiazhuang.
Ye Yi, the second elder of the Ye family, said angrily: "Patriarch! The Lei family's children are too deceitful! We fought with them! ”
Ye Shu, the third elder of the Ye family, although his beard was white, he also said with iron bones: "It's better to be broken than broken!" O Patriarch! Let that Lei Tianyun see the backbone of our Ye family! ”
Ye Xuan sat on the main seat, listening to the indignant discussions of the people in the hall, with a worried face.
Backbone? Their Ye family is weak, what can they do to fight with the Lei family? If the reformers don't help the Ye family, the Lei family can make the Ye family disappear in a snap of a finger!
Baowan Island is a big island, as vast as the land of three provinces, there are four cities, the Qin faction occupies half of the land, and has two cities, one of which is Leijiazhuang! On the other hand, the reformists live in half of the country, with few people and ugly cities, only a few Qin people and Kou people who yearn for peace are scattered near Hualien City, and the large and small families of the Qin faction add up to 100,000 people, and the Kou faction also has 60,000 people, and their reformers are only 8,000, among these 8,000, there are only more than 500 people in Yejiazhuang, and more than 100 of these 500 people have traveled to the mainland. Taking this number of people to compete with the Lei family is tantamount to hitting a stone with an egg! Suicide!
Ye Qing, the ninth elder of the Ye family, took the opportunity to say: "My Ye family has been living on Baowan Island since before Qin Zhi, no matter how the mainland changes hands, they can't control the political affairs of Baowan Island, this Baowan Island has also been decided by the most powerful families for hundreds of years, for the continuation of our Ye family, I intend to let Huashan's niece marry the Lei family and settle the matter, and in the future, the Lei family will take care of our Ye family more because Huashan is the wife of the family's son-in-law." ”
Ye Qing's thoughts are the thoughts that most of the Ye family members want to say but dare not say, among the Qin people in the entire Baowan Island, the Lei family is the Son of Heaven! Their might was even more feared than that of Emperor Qin.
Ye Pet, the sixth elder of the Ye family, agreed with Ye Qing's statement and said: "I think Lao Jiu is right, this marriage is related to the survival of our Ye family, Lei Ling's words just now, all the elders, stewards, and hall masters have also heard it, if our Ye family offends the Lei family, it will be as Lei Yun said, there is no place for life and no place for death!" ”
Ye Shu looked at Ye Pet and Ye Qing angrily and scolded: "Wait for the juniors!" How can you be so cowardly! You're also Huashan's uncle! How could she be subjected to such humiliation! Lei Ling is full of evil, everyone in the Qin faction has ruined a lot of him, if Huashan is also humiliated by him, what face do I have to go to see the ancestors of the Ye family! ”
"The three elders are angry, we are also for the good of the Ye family." Ye Pet hurriedly excused.
Among the nine elders of the Ye family, only the third elder Ye Shu is the strongest, and he is also Ye Huashan's uncle, how can he let a girl like Huashan marry a brute like Lei Ling!
"That's right, Third Elder, the Ye family is not as good as before, and the Lei family is getting stronger and stronger, and being an enemy of the Lei family is tantamount to asking for a dead end!" Ye Qing said with the power of the Lei family.
Why are the three elders so unreasonable? This kind of self-defeating thing, the Great Elder and the Patriarch don't have to think about it!
Ye Huan, the eldest elder of the Ye family, sat calmly on the deputy seat and listened to the arguments between the third elder and the sixth elder and the ninth elder, and said with an indifferent smile: "Elders, we are all old, the third elder is also over the age of the old, the sixth elder and the ninth elder are also half a hundred years old, we are old, and our ideas are naturally outdated, why don't you listen to the opinions of the young people?" ”
Ye Xuan said with a puzzled face: "What does Uncle Yu mean by this?" ”
Ye Xuan got up, bowed to Ye Xuan, and said: "Patriarch, our clan has reached a critical time for survival, please ask the patriarch to release the alien birds domesticated by the Ye family since ancient times to the mainland, Ye Zhengjun has been traveling to the mainland for three years on the first day of our clan, how do you come back to him and listen to his opinion?" The treasure land of the mainland, the land is vast and rich, and it has a long history, and it must have been Zhengjun who has also learned a lot of things from the mainland that we can't learn on this poor and remote island. ”
Ye Xuan patted the case and said: "Go and release all the strange birds, and call back all the children of the Ye family who have gone out to travel!" ”
Ye Yu stroked his white beard and said: "One more point, please ask the patriarch to ask what the girl in Huashan means, although we already know the answer in our hearts, but this is also her marriage, she is the party concerned." ”
Whether Ye Huashan will willingly marry Lei Ling, the elders and Ye Xuan know well, but if it is based on the survival of the Ye family, Ye Huashan will definitely marry!
Ye Huashan was watched by Ye Huan to grow up, from her croaking to the growth of the slim Ye family, Ye Huan has always seen it in his eyes, why doesn't he want Huashan to find a wishful husband and marry beautifully! I want to talk about "The Strange World" with more like-minded people, pay attention to "excellent reading literature" on WeChat, talk about life, and find confidants~
