Chapter 34 The Ye Family Compound
The Ye family, one of the eight major families in Kyoto, in the entire Xia Kingdom, the Ye family can gain a foothold in Kyoto, and it can be regarded as a first-class family in the Xia Kingdom.
Among the three worlds of military, politics and business, there are many people from the Ye family who hold important positions, and the head of the family, Ye Canghai, has even served as a political boss in the Xia Kingdom, although he is now retired at home, his influence is not far behind.
A courtyard house, simple and atmospheric, although the walls are slightly mottled, but in this place in Kyoto, the value of this kind of courtyard is simply incalculable.
Gongs and drums are noisy, and firecrackers are ringing in unison.
In front of the Ye family's compound.
Countless luxury vehicles are parked here, and there is an endless stream of people shuttling back and forth, if there is a reporter here, he will definitely be shocked to find that everyone who enters the Ye family's compound is a celebrity in the military, government and business worlds.
Today is a festive day, it is Ye Canghai's 70th birthday, a big 'longevity' word is pasted all over the Ye family compound, and dozens of birthday banquets are placed in it, and the noise of the guests is endless.
"Niece Qingzhu, today is the old man's seventieth birthday, I am very happy that you can come to my uncle, there is no need for gifts or anything. Ye Hanchuan smiled, looking at Xia Qingzhu in front of him, with an extremely doting look in his eyes.
"Haha. ”
Xia Tiejun laughed and said: "Old Ye, what are you talking about, Old Man Ye has a big birthday, how can we lose our etiquette, Qingzhu is not ready to call Uncle Ye." ”
"Uncle Ye is good. "Xia Qingzhu has good manners.
"Good, good. ”
Ye Hanchuan said three good words in a row, his eyes turned slightly, and he directly greeted his son Ye Yu beside him and said: "Qingzhu's niece finally came to our house once, you have to be more close." ”
Ye Yu was wearing a black suit with gold-wire glasses, giving people a sense of civility and politeness, and he smiled warmly at Xia Qingzhu: "Qingzhu, long time no see, let's take a seat." ”
"Yo, isn't this Qingzhu's niece?"
Without waiting for Xia Qingzhu's father and daughter to enter the table, a coquettish smile followed, and a pair of middle-aged men and women walked out of the inner courtyard, followed by a teenager.
"Qingzhu has met several uncles and aunts. Xia Qingzhu said without losing etiquette.
Ye Canghai has a total of three sons, Ye Hanchuan and his son are in the second room, and the one who is walking towards Xia Qingzhu at this moment is the person in the third room of the Ye family.
If Ye Xuan was present at this moment, he would definitely recognize that the woman walking in front was the wife of his biological father Ye Canghao, and this woman was not small, and she was the eldest lady of the Nangong family, the eight major families in the capital.
And behind this woman, it is naturally Ye Xuan's biological father Ye Canghao and his younger brother Ye Ping.
"Ping'er, haven't you seen your sister Qingzhu yet?" Nangong Yun smiled softly and turned back to Ye Ping.
"I've seen Sister Qingzhu. ”
Ye Ping and Ye Ling'er are twins, and they are also the brothers of Ye Xuan's mother, and at this moment he is wearing a casual suit and is smiling at Xia Qingzhu.
"You... You are Ye Xuan's younger brother, right?" Looking at Ye Ping in front of him, Xia Qingzhu's eyes lit up, and he asked him directly.
As Xia Qingzhu's voice fell, Nangong Yun's complexion changed slightly, but he didn't say anything, but Ye Ping was stunned, Ye Xuan's appearance appeared in his mind, but he slowly shook his head and said, "Ye Xuan is indeed my eldest brother, but he has been dead for many years." ”
"How many years have you been dead?"
Hearing Ye Ping's words, Xia Qingzhu's face changed, she met Ye Xuan yesterday, how could she have died for many years?
Just when Xia Qingzhu was puzzled, Ye Canghao said in a low voice: "Qingzhu's niece, that rebel has long since died, don't mention him on today's festive day." ”
Ye Canghao, Ye Xuan's biological father, he is dressed in a military uniform, his face is not smiling, giving people a sense of majesty, and his appearance is handsome and extraordinary, although he has entered middle age, he can give people a mature man-like temperament.
"Okay, okay, don't mention him, let's take a seat, the old man will come out soon. Nangong Yun smiled and let everyone enter the chief of the birthday banquet in turn.
"Director Wu An has arrived. ”
"Dali Temple Shaoqing arrived. ”
"Major General Chen has arrived. ”
"Pan's family has arrived. ”
"The Xiao family has arrived. ”
......
During the birthday banquet, news of the arrival of bigwigs from all parties came from time to time, which also made this birthday banquet more enthusiastic.
"Haha!"
A burst of heroic laughter came, and I saw an old man with silver hair, accompanied by the Ye family's big house, walked out of the inner hall, and even hugged his fist to the guests present and said: "I didn't expect the old man to come to congratulate you on his 70th birthday, and the old man really felt ashamed in his heart." ”
"Congratulations to Ye Laofu, such as the East China Sea Shoubi Nanshan. ”
"Today is Ye Lao's seventieth birthday, and when you celebrate your eightieth birthday, I'm afraid that my great-grandson will also be embraced, right?"
All kinds of congratulatory voices came from the birthday banquet, and Ye Canghai responded one by one with a smile on his face.
At this time!
Xia Qingzhu sat in the chief of the birthday banquet, her beautiful face had a look of doubt, from the time she entered the birthday banquet, not only did she not see Ye Xuan's figure, but also heard Ye Xuan's remarks that Ye Xuan had died a long time ago from the mouths of Ye Ping and Ye Canghao, which also made her heart suddenly uneasy.
Xia Qingzhu knew that his guess was wrong, Ye Xuan did not survive by relying on the Ye family, and the Ye family did not know that Ye Xuan was still alive in the world.
Moreover, Xia Qingzhu could completely see from Ye Canghao's attitude that as Ye Xuan's biological father, Ye Canghao did not have the slightest affection for Ye Xuan in his words.
"It's... What the hell is going on?" Xia Qingzhu muttered to himself.
"Sister Qingzhu, what's wrong with you?" Ye Ping asked.
"You... Don't you know... Didn't your eldest brother die?"
Xia Qingzhu could no longer control the doubts in his heart, and spoke directly to Ye Ping.
Silence, deathly silence.
When Xia Qingzhu said this, not only Ye Ping was stunned on the spot, but Ye Canghao and Nangong Yun, who were at the same table, also looked blank, and looked at Xia Qingzhu's eyes, which showed even more doubt.
"No... Impossible... When the eldest brother was terminally ill... He... How can he survive?" Ye Ping's voice trembled slightly, and he laughed out loud at Xia Qingzhu, obviously not believing what Xia Qingzhu said.
Knock-knock-knock.
Like the war drums of the dead soul beating, like the thunder of the nine heavens exploding, when a solemn footsteps sounded in the Ye family's compound, I saw a lonely figure slowly entering the birthday banquet.
"Little brother, I'll take you home. ”
Dressed in a black ancient shirt and a blood-colored sword, Ye Xuan's gray hair was automatic without wind, and when he walked in front of Ye Ping, his calm voice also sounded at this moment.
Everything is quiet, and the world is silent.
When Ye Xuan appeared, Ye Ping's eyes widened, staring at Ye Xuan in front of him, and Ye Canghao and his wife seemed to have lost their souls, and they couldn't believe what they were seeing.
"Big... Big brother?" Ye Ping suddenly got up from his seat, his body trembling slightly.
