Volume 1 Family Chapter 18 The Ye Family's Big House
After Ye Qiu went to Xiuning College to apply for the exam, he and Zhongbo rushed to the most famous North Lane Market in Xicheng, compared to which the market in Jingrong Town was really small. There are a lot of big chambers of commerce in the bazaars in Pingyang City, there are Tongjun Pavilion that specializes in selling medicinal herbs, Puyuan Valley and Bailian Pavilion where forging weapons and selling weapons, and all pavilions that are forbidden by formations, these are the most first-class chambers of commerce in Great Xia and even in the Shenzhou Continent.
In fact, Jingrong Town mainly radiates the southwest region of Jizhou, but Pingyang City covers the entire Jizhou and even the entire Great Xia, and materials are available in Pingyang City.
Ye Qiu went to buy the materials for the primary formation and refining tools respectively, and most of the time passed in one day just to get these things. Ye Qiu calculated the time, and estimated that Ye Jinwen was almost time to disperse, so Ye Qiu took Uncle Zhong and slowly rushed to the Ye family on Changde Street. When Ye Qiu arrived at Ye Mansion, it was already halfway through, and it was almost time to eat, Ye Jinwen had already returned to Ye Mansion, and the next person told Ye Qiu that Ye Jinwen had specially prepared a family banquet for Ye Qiu to eat together in the evening, so he took Ye Qiu to the main hall.
Uncle Zhong was not eligible to participate in the family banquet in the main room of the Ye family, so Uncle Zhong went to the back hall to wait for Ye Qiu, and when Ye Qiu came to the main hall, he saw that there were already two people sitting in the main hall. The two people in the main hall are Ye Qiu's cousins Ye Chaoyang and Ye Zhaoxia, the two are the children of Ye Qiu's fourth uncle Ye Jinlin, the two are a pair of dragon and phoenix fetuses when the sun just rose and accompanied by Chaoxia, so the two were named Chaoxia and Chaoyang, and the two complained that Ye Jinlin named their brothers and sisters so casually, but the two brothers and sisters thought of Ye Qiu's name and felt that it was okay.
The second generation of the Ye family's big house, three men and one girl, Ye Qiu's two sons Ye Shuofeng and Ye Wuchen, the eldest son Ye Shuofeng was an assistant teacher in the capital of Daxia at the Tiancheng Guozijian, and the youngest son Ye Wuchen just graduated from Xiuning College with excellent grades, and then prepared to devote himself to his career. The third uncle Ye Jinkai's son Ye Qingsong is still studying at Xiuning College. Ye Qiu's second aunt, Ye Qiuping, married a son and a daughter under the knees of the Gu family in Yanbei. Ye Shuofeng and Ye Wuchen themselves have noble identities, the two have extraordinary qualifications and are known as the three generations of the Ye family, Ye Qingsong, Ye Chaoyang and Ye Zhaoxia are slightly inferior to Ye Shuofeng, and all three of them are still studying in Xiuning College. As for Ye Qiu, compared to the other cousins, he was even more dwarfed.
Because of the fact that the second room is not in the same vein, Ye Chaoyang and Ye Zhaoxia don't hate this younger brother who has no talent for martial arts and is not outstanding in Xiwen, but they don't like it much. In Ye Qiu's last life, in addition to having a good relationship with Ye Qingsong, he had a mediocre relationship with the other cousins and cousins in the big house. The main reason for this is that the first pulse of the big house is angry with the first pulse of the second room, and he does not want to communicate with him more, and Ye Qiu at that time is also happy about it.
Ye Chaoyang's brother and sister saw that it was Ye Qiu who came and said hello with a smile and cared about Ye Qiu's body, and the two continued the topic just now, usually everyone eats separately, and they are directly sent to their respective courtyards by the back kitchen, and they don't know why Ye Jinwen wants everyone to eat together, and Ye Qiu is still alone. In the past, they would never see Ye Qiu come to the family banquet alone, but the two of them didn't think about this family banquet prepared for Ye Qiu at all, and thought that Ye Qiu happened to catch up or maybe made something wrong.
After a while, Ye Qingsong also came, Ye Qingsong was a little surprised to see Ye Qiu in the main hall, and then greeted Ye Qiu warmly and said, "Hey, Ye Qiu, your kid has a very smart nose, you just happened to have a good family banquet today." ”
Ye Qingsong is the best person in Dafang Yimai and Ye Qiu. In the previous life, Ye Qiu also liked to communicate with Ye Qingsong, who seemed to be very arrogant, don't look at Ye Qingsong, who was usually very arrogant, but Ye Qingsong's arrogance was higher than Ye Chaoyang, Ye Zhaoxia, and even higher than Ye Wuchen. Ye Qiu's third uncle is the imperial history inspector of Yanbei, and he has a little different insistence in his bones compared to people who are purely mixed with officialdom, so he named Ye Qingsong Qingsong, which means from the poetry collection: Heavy snow presses green pine, green pine is straight and straight.
Ye Qingsong usually makes friends without such accidents, only to see if he is like-minded, not to see his background, and he likes to practice martial arts, and when he was a child, he pestered Ye Lingyun to guide him, so Ye Qingsong and Ye Qiu have always had a good relationship, and Ye Qiu and Mingyue also liked to play with Ye Qingsong when they were young. Ye Qiu smiled and chatted with Ye Qingsong, and after a while, Ye Wuchen also came.
Ye Qiu's second brother Ye Wuchen has a similar attitude to Ye Chaoyang and Ye Zhaoxia, and he usually has no communication with Ye Qiu, but if outsiders bully Ye Qiu, he will cover Ye Qiu. Compared with Ye Wuchen and Ye Shuofeng, Ye Shuofeng is mature and steady, and he looks like a humble gentleman to do his studies with peace of mind, while Ye Wuchen is more sharp and likes to make friends, most of the people who make friends are the sons and daughters of the powerful in Jizhou, and they are also the sons and daughters of the first echelon in the three generations of Jizhou, Ye Chaoyang and his brothers and sisters like to follow Ye Wuchen, and the brothers and sisters are also famous children of the powerful in Jizhou.
Among the three generations of the Ye family, except for Ye Qiu's eldest brother Ye Shuofeng and Ye Quan, who died to save Ye Qiu, the third generation of the Ye family is in the main hall. Ye Qiu's eldest brother Ye Shuofeng is very big brother, and he is also like an elder brother taking care of his younger brother to Ye Qiu at any time, and he is also kind to others. Ye Qiu also sincerely admired this eldest brother, but in the previous life, the Ye family offended Zhang Daxue, which made this eldest brother who should have shine look bleak in the capital.
Back in the main hall, Ye Chaoyang's brother and sister stopped chatting when they saw Ye Wuchen coming, got up and called the second brother, and Ye Qiu and Ye Qingsong also called the second brother. Ye Wuchen patted Ye Qiu on the shoulder and said very proudly: "Ye Qiu heard that you were frightened some time ago and were in a coma for several days, how are you recovering now? ”
Ye Qiu nodded in thanks, Ye Wuchen didn't say anything more and chatted with Ye Zhaoxia, and after a while, Ye Jinwen and his wife came. Because the vacation has ended, those who should return to Yanbei to serve have gone back, and Ye Shuofeng has also returned to the capital, leaving the third-generation heirs of the Ye family. During the family banquet, it was mainly Ye Wuchen who was enlivening the atmosphere, and Ye Wuchen liked the feeling of being the focus of the audience very much. Ye Jinwen is still very satisfied with Ye Wuchen's youngest son on the whole, except for being a little impetuous, after all, people are not reckless teenagers, so Ye Jinwen also has high hopes for him. Ye Wuchen's talent and intelligence are not bad, but he is still lacking in his mind, after all, he is still young, so Ye Jinwen is ready to keep Ye Wuchen by his side, and he is sharpening his temperament. Ye Jinwen's favorite is the eldest son Ye Shuofeng, Ye Shuofeng is like a heavy sword, no edge, great ingenuity, intelligence and mind are the best choice, Ye Shuofeng is the most likely to revive the Ye family among the three generations of the Ye family, not only Ye Jinwen has high hopes for him, but also Ye Qingchen.
A family banquet ended happily under Ye Wuchen's activity. After eating, Ye Jinwen stopped Ye Qiu and asked Ye Qiu to go to the study to talk to him, but he didn't call anyone else, Ye Chaoyang's brother and sister looked at Ye Qiu with a little regret in their eyes, and they estimated in their hearts that Ye Qiu, this kid really made a mistake, and he had to be lectured by the uncle alone. Ye Wuchen showed a hint of strangeness in his eyes, he knew that his father basically didn't care about the affairs of the juniors, and Ye Qiu could actually let his father call him to the study alone, there must be something important, but he didn't take it to heart and quickly returned to normal. Ye Qingsong's eyes looking at Ye Qiu were the most normal, just like usual, but Ye Qingsong felt that this meal should be prepared for Ye Qiu, but why it was not clear. They all dispersed with different ideas.
Ye Qiu followed Ye Jinwen to the study, Ye Jinwen asked people to make a pot of tea, Ye Jinwen drank tea and looked at Ye Qiu without speaking, Ye Qiu didn't drink tea and sat quietly waiting for Ye Jinwen to speak. After half a cup of tea, Ye Jinwen put down the tea cup and said, "Yes, your heart alone is stronger than dustless." At first, I was wondering if what you did in Jingrong Town was done by someone else, but it seems that you did it, right?"
The purpose of Ye Qiu's letter to Ye Jinwen at that time was not only to allow him to assist, but also to pave the way for him to be able to speak in the Ye family in the future. Ye Qiu said modestly: "Uncle, the matter of the town is indeed from the hands of the little nephew. The little nephew just wants to accompany the uncle. ”
Judging from the things in the town, Ye Qiu's intelligence is quite good at this age, but in Ye Jinwen's opinion, Ye Qiu is still too young and vigorous, and this approach is still lacking, so Ye Jinwen called Ye Qiu here today, in addition to getting to know this nephew again, more to help Ye Qiu deal with the aftermath. Hearing Ye Qiu say that he wanted to compensate him, he became interested and smiled, not speaking, and looked like he was listening.
Seeing this, Ye Qiu continued: "Uncle, the fact that I had a bad relationship with the Yang family is an emergency, I originally wanted to take Mingyue to see the Yaohua faction's trading conference on February 2, but I didn't expect Mingyue to have a conflict with Yang Shiqi because of his righteous words, and you know the next thing." The little nephew also knows that completely tearing your face with the Yang family at this critical time will make it even more difficult for you to move forward in Pingyang's officialdom, especially at this time when you have the opportunity to go to the next level. However, I took into account the following factors before I dared to do so. One: You also know the other two parties in this matter, Guo Jie's master and apprentice, although Mo Yuanbo is a monk in the spiritual transformation period, it is not enough for me to tear my face with the Yang family, but Mo Yuanbo's apprentice Guo Xie is quite talented, and even Zhongbo said that Guo Jie's qualifications are not inferior to him. We already had a bad relationship with the Li family, and there are not many Yang families who are the leaders of the Li family, so instead of letting him go, let me buy people's hearts, this is one of them. ”
Ye Qiu glanced at Ye Jinwen's demeanor as if he was thinking, and Ye Qiu continued: "Actually, the most important thing is that the reason why I have the confidence to do this is because I know that the position of Pingyang City Mansion Yin must be in your pocket. Uncle I haven't had time to tell you some things yet, in fact, I have always been able to practice, but I have not been able to disclose them because of my teacher. When I was eleven years old, I met my master, and in order to make me cultivate my mind, Master sealed my meridians so that I could not speak to anyone until I passed his test. And the reason why I dare to say to you that Pingyang City Mansion Yin is in your pocket is also related to my master. My master, his old man, told me before he passed away that he had discovered a vein of vibranium in the Yinshan Mountains. ”
After listening to Ye Qiu's words, Ye Jinwen finally realized the mood of the second room of the Ye family that day, and was shocked that Ye Qiu was actually able to practice. Ye Jinwen couldn't control his stunned expression when he heard the vibranium vein, Ye Qiu looked at Ye Jinwen's eyes and said firmly: "Uncle, this matter is true, my father and mother have already gone to Yinshan to investigate last month, and just yesterday they have brought the news back to confirm that this matter is true!!"
Hearing this, Ye Jinwen raised his hand to stop Ye Qiu and continued, "You let me think about it." ”
After a while, Ye Jinwen cast a continuing look at Ye Qiu, and Ye Qiu continued: "My grandfather has already told my grandfather about this matter, and I can't tell you by letter because of the stakes, so I specially wrote to let me inform you." This is a letter that my grandfather sent me, and you can take a look at it. After speaking, Ye Qiu took out a letter from the storage container and handed it to Ye Jinwen.
Ye Jinwen took the letter and looked at the ordinary homely words in the letter, but combined with what Ye Qiu said, he knew that this should be true, thinking of this, even if Ye Jinwen had been in politics for many years, his body couldn't help but tremble.
After all, as the young Yin Ye Jinwen of Jizhou Prefecture, he quickly recovered and asked, "What does this matter need me to do?"
Ye Qiu said: "Uncle before, we planned to dedicate most of the vibranium veins to the imperial court for free, the Ye family has made such a significant contribution, what will be the reward of the imperial court, I believe it will only exceed our imagination, not to mention your position as the prefect of Pingyang City, even if you add my grandfather's title of general, it is not a problem, which is why I dare to tear my face with the Yang family." ”
Ye Jinwen nodded when he heard this, and Ye Qiu continued: "Uncle needs your assistance in one thing next, because the vibranium vein in the Yinshan Mountain Range needs us to apply for the purchase of the land in Yinshan, and we need a lot of funds, so we need to coordinate the funds as much as possible on your side." At the same time, I need your assistance to transfer all the properties that the Yang family paid to me to my Ye family as soon as possible, and I am ready to directly convert which properties to the imperial court at that time, I want to see if the Yang family has the courage to find fault. For this money, this is the third reason why I tear my face apart. ”
Ye Jinwen looked at this nephew who was talking eloquently and sighed in his heart, this nephew's wisdom and strategy chased Ye Shuofeng in his mind. The feeling that Ye Qiu gave him was a demon in one word, a bit of a kind that can't be described by common sense. However, Ye Jinwen still felt sincerely gratified, for a person like Ye Jinwen, the inheritance and honor of the family are more important than his life, so the more talents in the Ye family, the happier he is, and he will not be jealous.
The Ye family has been inherited for more than 3,000 years, this generation can be regarded as flourishing, think about the war between Ye Jinwen's grandfather and the Xiongnu a hundred years ago, and there is only one person left to inherit the ancestry. There are fewer wars in this generation, and there are more heirs, and the Ye family will be more prosperous in less than a hundred years, and when the time comes, compared with other families in Jizhou that have been inherited for thousands of years, the descendants will not seem so weak. Especially with Ye Shuofeng and Ye Qiu, plus Ye Qingsong and Ye Wuchen, the three generations of the Ye family can be regarded as full of talents.
Ye Jinwen smiled when he thought of this.
