Ye Qiu looked out the window, the winter in Pingyang City was not as cold as Yancheng, and the vegetation in the courtyard outside the window looked full of vitality under the winter light.

Ye Qiu had stayed in Pingyang City for thirty years, and he was very familiar with Pingyang City, feeling the winter sunshine, and his heart was full of peace. The two-bedroom residence purchased by the Ye family is located in Changchun Street in Pingyang City, which is in the east of Pingyang City. Pingyang City takes the Governor's Mansion as the center, and the eight streets are divided into inner and outer layers into a square around the Governor's Mansion, and this area belongs to the most powerful area of Pingyang City, including this Changchun Street; Pingyang City spreads to the southeast and northwest with the Governor's Mansion as the center, and the four streets closest to the Governor's Mansion are Changde Street, Changsheng Street, Changming Street, and Changqing Street, which are the residences of some important imperial court departments and officials with official positions of three grades or more; Changchun Street and Changping Street, these four streets are inhabited by dignitaries and dignitaries in Jizhou, and it can be said that these eight streets gather more than eighty percent of Jizhou's dignitaries. On weekdays, Ye Qinglin's two rooms and one vein of people live in the house on Changchun Street, and the Ye family's big house is the Ye Mansion on Changde Street, and the Ye Mansion on Changde Street is the real residence of the Ye family in Jizhou for many years.

In fact, the real foundation of the Ye family is in the northernmost part of Great Xia, that is, Yanbei, the northernmost part of Jizhou. The Ye family has been developing in Jizhou since the beginning of the establishment of Great Xia, and there is no shortage of sages who have achieved the position of governor of Jizhou, so the Ye family is a first-class veteran magnate in Jizhou. After more than 3,000 years of development of the Ye family in Yanbei, more than half of the magnates and prominent families in Yanbei are more or less implicated in the Ye family. As long as every head of the Ye family is in politics, almost all of them will serve as the political secretary of Yanbei Province, and now Ye Qingchen, the head of the Ye family, is the deputy of the Yanbei political secretary, and Yanbei Thorn Shi is one step away from the political secretary, and it is only a matter of time before he becomes the political secretary of Yanbei. Although Ye Qingchen served as a deputy, Ye Qingchen's words were more effective than the political envoy in Yanbei.

The Ye family has two contemporary rooms, the big room Ye Qingchen has three sons and one daughter, and the second room Ye Qinglin has two sons and two daughters. The three sons of Ye Qingchen are all engaged in politics, the eldest son Ye Jinwen has achieved the third rank of the first official position of the governor of Pingyang City, the second son Ye Jinkai served as the official position of the imperial history inspector in Jizhou Yushitai, and the third son Ye Jinlin served as a senator in the Chengxuan Political Department from the fourth grade.

It stands to reason that a family like the Ye family, which has been inherited for more than 3,000 years, should have flourished a long time ago, and there should not be only a few or so descendants. Each place has its own local atmosphere, popularity and local atmosphere, and the Xiongnu people are fierce and brave and good at fighting, harassing the northern border of Daxia all the year round, mainly in Yongzhou and Jizhou. Because of the perennial war with the Xiongnu, there are many generous and sad people in Yongji in Daxia, and there is no shortage of strong men who have never lacked blood-stained battlefields and sacrificed their lives to serve the country in Yongzhou and Jizhou.

At the beginning of the founding of the Great Xia, surrounded by strong enemies from all sides, in the war with the Xiongnu for more than 3,000 years, although the Xiongnu lost more and won less, but the Great Xia also killed 1,000 enemies and lost 800 self-losses. Yanbei is the closest province to the Xiongnu, Yanbei's sons never hesitate to die, many families in Yanbei never regret their sons and daughters dying on the battlefield, there will only be more people to kill to the battlefield to avenge it, it is by virtue of this generous and sad atmosphere in the country of Daxia when the weakest national strength withstood the strong Xiongnu army, so that the Xiongnu for more than 3,000 years can not advance an inch, the price is to pay the lives of many Yanbei children. The Ye family, as the top family in Yanbei, is the leader of the Yanbei family in resisting the Huns, and it is always at the forefront by example, so the mortality rate of the Ye family's heirs is also the highest, and it is the Ye family that has adhered to this practice for more than 3,000 years that has convinced most of the Yanbei families and made the local magnates in Yanbei look forward to the Ye family.

Therefore, compared with the magnates in the Central Plains of Great Xia and the southern part of the country, in addition to being more desperate and more grouped, the family and the people of Yanbei are very chivalrous and attach importance to commitment and loyalty, so even in the current situation of the Ye family, they are just a general from the second and third grades, but the real speaker in Yanbei is still the Ye family. In the past 3,000 years of war, the various behaviors of the children of the Ye family have deeply impressed the local magnates in Yanbei, which is one of the reasons why the heads of the Ye family who have been in politics in the past generations can at least be the political envoys of Yanbei. The Great Xia royal family was not worried about this phenomenon, the royal family had absolute confidence in their own strength, and it was precisely because of this blind confidence that the situation of various local gates was divided in the future.

Because in the past hundred years, there was something wrong with the relationship between the Xiongnu and the Yueshi, and it was not as close as before, and the Xiongnu had a strong force without the economic support of the Yueshi, but they could not keep up with it in materials, so in the past 100 years, the Xiongnu have been pressed and beaten by Daxia. Therefore, the war in the north of Great Xia is no longer as fierce as before, and Yanbei Erlang does not need to rush to the battlefield so generously and sadly.

The Ye family in this era is an era with more heirs in the history of the Ye family. The heirs of the Ye family's big house can be regarded as promising in their careers, and I believe that in a few years, when the Ye family's descendants develop up, they will be more prosperous than they are now. Compared with the first line of the Ye family's big house, the future of the first lineage of the Ye family's first lineage is bright, and the second room of the Ye family, Ye Qinglin's first lineage, is a little bleak in the army. Ye Qinglin's two sons, the eldest son Ye Lingkun and Ye Qinglin are in the same Zhenbei Army, Ye Lingkun has been in the army for nearly 20 years and has been mixed to the position of captain, with a four-rank official position; the youngest son Ye Lingyun can be regarded as a promising monk at a young age, he is already a monk at the peak of the Longmen Realm, if Ye Lingyun can join the army, according to his current realm, at least in the position of force, he will be able to be a third-grade general, but Ye Lingyun yearns for a chic and comfortable Jianghu and is inspired to become a great monk. The influence of a great monk in the entire continent is still very great, but in Great Xia, whether you are a great monk or a top sect still cannot be compared with the great general of Great Xia, Ye Qingchen, as the head of the Ye family, has a lot of things to do in order to let Ye Lingyun join the army. If the Ye family has two rooms and one line, Ye Lingyun joins the army, and everyone in the Ye family's two rooms and one line can stand up to the status of everyone in the army. According to the prestige of the Ye family in Yanbei, with Ye Lingyun's cultivation and intelligence, the position of the general of the Zhenbei Army after a few years can basically be said to be in the bag, even if the governor of Anbei has a chance, he will definitely lead the Ye family to the next glory when the time comes. Obviously, such a good seedling has to go to the rivers and lakes, so that Ye Qingchen has not paid attention to Ye Qinglin for at least half a year.

Now in the past year, Guan Yeqiu's family has come to Pingyang City, just to go to Yingxiang Palace to worship their ancestors. Because of Ye Qiu's soul crossing, Yingxiang Palace has been sealed and forbidden to enter, but fortunately, the Ye family has finished the sacrifice. Because Ye Qiu had this incident, Ye Qinglin hadn't gone back yet, and was ready to wait for Ye Qiu to wake up and go together. Everyone already knows the news of Ye Qiu's awakening, and Ye Qiu is also ready to take advantage of tonight's family banquet to have a showdown with his grandfather.

Ye Qiu saw that it was still early before dinner time, and Ye Qiu began to seize the time to cultivate the Yuan Qi in order to make the story more convincing. Ye Qiu feasted on one-third of the giant rhinoceros beast meat and began to meditate and cultivate the vitality of the body, and he woke up twice halfway through and ate the rest of the giant rhinoceros meat. Towards the end of the evening, Ye Qiu finally stopped continuing to cultivate, after most of the day's practice, Ye Qiu had a thorough understanding of the operation of qi and blood, Ye Qiu's qi and blood could run for three weeks in an hour, and he was about to enter the middle stage of the Peiyuan Realm, Ye Qiu tried it on the instrument that specially tested his strength, and the current strength of the full punch was about five stones. You must know that the strength of adults who can't practice martial arts is between two stones and one ox (ten stones is one ox), and Ye Qiu's strength now has reached the average level of adults. Ye Qiu looked at the sun outside that had begun to set, and it was getting closer and closer to the dinner time, and his psychology began to get a little excited, and he finally won the time to change his fate. Ye Qing leaned on the bed and began to check over and over again if there was anything unreasonable, and after a while, Ye Qiu heard the voice of the maid and Cai Yingying outside the door, Cai Yingying came really immediately. The maid came to ask Ye Qiu to prepare to go to the hall for dinner, and happened to meet Cai Yingying who came to Ye Qiu, Cai Yingying went to see Ye Lingyun's situation and went to Aunt Ye Qiu's house on Changshou Street.

The people present at the Ye family's family banquet tonight include Ye Qiu's grandfather Ye Qinglin, Ye Qiu's aunt's family and Ye Qiu's aunt's family, Ye Qiu's second uncle has already returned to Yanbei, after all, although the second room of the Ye family is not very good, but there are not a few people who come to visit the second room of the Ye family, and they still need to go back to be responsible for the reception.

Ye Qiu followed Cai Yingying to the hall, Ye Qiu saw her little sister Mingyue sitting next to her aunt, her aunt Ye Zhiying and her aunt Ye Ziying chatting about the short things in the family, Ye Qiu's eldest brother Lu Shisheng was accompanying her aunt, and the listeners were aunt-in-law Lu Wenhuan and sister-in-law Mingchen drinking tea and chatting. Ye Qiu saw her little sister Mingyue sitting on a chair looking left and right, and saw Ye Qiu and Cai Yingying's cunning looks, it seemed that Mingyue really didn't like to listen to these short family vacations. The age difference between Ye Qiu's little sister and Ye Qiu is only two years old, and they have played together since childhood. Ye Qiu's sister-in-law Ming's family is the premier merchant family in Pingyang City, Mingyue inherited the clever energy of the Ming family, and Ye Zhiying is also considered to be from the Jiangmen family Mingyue has also liked to practice martial arts since she was a child. And Mingyue admires Cai Yingying the most, hoping to become a woman with strong martial arts like Cai Yingying when she grows up. Every time she meets Cai Yingying, she will chase Cai Yingying to teach her a move and a half, and then use the newly learned moves to fight with Ye Qiu, when she was young, Ye Qiu was also happy to play this kind of child's game with Mingyue, but since Mingyue was 12 years old and began to practice martial arts, Ye Qiu was gradually not Mingyue's opponent, and Ye Qiu no longer had a move with Mingyue.

Ye Qiu smiled when he saw Mingyue sitting there like a pins and needles, and after stepping into the door and greeting his uncles, he couldn't help but want to make fun of Mingyue, so he smiled and said to Mingyue: "Mingyue Woman, have you ever improved your skills after many days?"

"Ye Qiu, you little thief, don't run today, today I will let you see the power of this woman. After Mingyue finished speaking, she wanted to get up and compare with Ye Qiu, Ye Zhiying was used to this eccentric daughter, because of Ye Qinglin, Ye Zhiying and Mingchen's discipline of Mingyue was also very lenient, and if she wanted to practice martial arts, she asked a teacher to teach her martial arts.

Ming Chen said to Mingyue with a little seriousness: "Yue'er, your cousin is unwell, don't mess around, sit well." Mingyue sat back on the chair with a sigh of relief at Ye Qiunu, and then Mingchen asked, "How does Qiu'er feel physically, is it okay?"

"Aunt Xie cares, and his health is almost better. After speaking, Ye Qiu also came to the chair next to Ye Qiu's eldest brother Lu Shisheng, sat down, and waited for Ye Qiu's grandfather to come back and start the meal.

Ye Qiu's aunt Lu Wenhuan is a lieutenant under Ye Qinglin, although he was born in a reckless background, he is deeply loved by Ye Qinglin, otherwise he would not be married to Ye Qiu's aunt Ye Ziying, and the aunt has only one son under her knees. Grandpa has high expectations for Ye Qiu's eldest brother Lu Shisheng, Ye Qiu's second uncle Ye Lingkun originally had a son under his knees, but three years ago the Ye family died in the autumn of the Huns, including Ye Qiu's second aunt, Ye Lingkun vowed not to kill Hu Yanda for a day, and would never consider personal marriage, so only three Ye Qiu were left in the entire second room and one vein of the Ye family. Sorting the eldest brother Lu Shisheng, Ye Qiu and Mingyue from large to small, Ye Qiu's meridians are blocked and he can't practice martial arts, and Mingyue is inconvenient to join as a woman, so the hopes of the third generation of the second room and one vein are pinned on Lu Shisheng. Lu Shisheng has shown his talent since he was a child, and when he was a child, he followed Lu Wenhuan and Ye Qinglin to learn the art of war, and he was often able to draw inferences from one another, so he gave him the name Lu Shisheng, hoping that after he surrendered, he could lead the army to be a winning division after joining the army like his name. Fortunately, Lu Shisheng also lived up to expectations, and at the age of 23, he had already reached the peak of the Tongqi realm. When Lu Shisheng was 20 years old, he graduated from Xiuning College with excellent grades, and according to the regulations of Great Xia, like Lu Shisheng, he can be directly qualified for the post of Jiupin Tizhi, but Lu Shisheng doesn't want people to feel that they are relying on their parents to choose to start from an ordinary soldier, and in three years, Lu Shisheng relied on himself to do the post of raising the army from an ordinary soldier in the Zhenbei Army, and only waited for Lu Shisheng to be promoted to captain after entering the spiritual transformation realm after realizing the aura, you must know that Ye Qiu's second uncle and eldest aunt are only the position of captain, which is enough to show Lu Shisheng's excellence。

The rank of officials in the Great Xia Army is divided, and at the top are the eight people of Taifu, the four metropolitan governors and the three first-rank generals, all of whom are officials and first-class generals. Taifu was not in charge of the army, mainly to assist the Holy Emperor in managing the army and discussing military affairs, and had the right to supervise the army and evaluate promotions; the four major governors were mainly responsible for suppressing the four directions, and each of the major governors had two generals under the command of the first general, divided into two armies, Zheng and Zhen, for example, under the command of the Metropolitan Governor of Anbei, the general Zhengbei and the general of Zhenbei assisted the Metropolitan Governor of Anbei. After removing these official positions of a product, the official positions in the army from high to low are: general - lieutenant - school captain - Fujun - Ti Zhi, in which the general should distinguish whether there is a title or not, the general with the title is generally a military general who has great merit but has some distance from the general, the number of generals who are titled generals whether they are in the official position or leading the army is higher than that of ordinary generals, and the number of generals who are titled officers is the second grade (the title is also divided into gold content, some are the second grade, and some are from the second grade), followed by the general who does not have the title of the general is generally called the third rank of the general, and the second is that the general's deputy has the official position from the third grade, and then the lieutenant below, the lieutenant is the distinction between superiors and subordinates. Because the Yinshan Mountains in Yanbei block more than half of the border between Jizhou and the Xiongnu, it plays a role in natural protection, so the territory of Jizhou is guarded by the general of Zhenbei, the Ye family's second room, one door and four people are all in the Zhenbei army, and the old man has also spent a lot of time in the post of general, and the Ye family is also operating to see if Ye Qinglin can rise one more liter. In fact, in terms of strength, Lu Wenhuan and Ye Lingkun are both satisfied with the strength of being generals, but in the army, it is not said that as long as the strength is reached, they can be competent, but also take into account ability, prestige, etc., but for Lu Wenhuan and Ye Lingkun, the main problem is that the four members of the Ye family are all in the Zhenbei Army, if they are all promoted to the position of general, then the Zhenbei Army can be renamed the Ye Family Army, and it is for this reason that it is more difficult for Lu Wenhuan and Ye Lingkun to rise. If the Ye family can achieve the position of general, the second room and the first vein can be regarded as getting ahead in the army.

Ye Qinglin went to the Ye Mansion on Changde Street to discuss with Ye Qiu's grandfather, Ye Qingchen, about helping Ye Qinglin operate a titled general from the second rank and transferring Lu Wenhuan and Ye Lingkun to the Northern Army. In addition to Ye Lingyun's retreat and Ye Lingkun's return to Yanbei, the Ye family has two rooms and one vein, and the whole family is gathered together, Ye Qiu watched the whole family happy together, and his heart was even more determined to protect this family, in this life, he can practice martial arts and obtain the true inheritance of Shun, he will definitely not be helpless when disaster strikes like in the previous life.

Just as Ye Qiu was in a trance, Ye Qinglin walked through the main hall towards the hall. Ye Qiu can't remember how long he hasn't seen his grandfather, his grandfather in the previous life was in the army all the year round, and Ye Qiu was in Pingyang City all the year round, so he could only see Ye Qinglin at the end of the year, and when Ye Qiu was in his forties in the previous life, Daxia did not rise but fell because of internal reasons. So counting the time of the previous life, Ye Qiu still hasn't seen Ye Qinglin for a long time, Ye Qinglin in Ye Qiu's memory is still the image of the previous life, Ye Qinglin was already a little old at that time, and Ye Qiu saw that Ye Qinglin's powerful arms were swinging like a tiger, giving people an image of a strong and elite soldier. After Ye Qinglin came to the hall, Ye Qiu and the others all got up to greet him, Ye Qinglin came directly to Ye Qiu, pinched Ye Qiu's shoulders with a pair of big hands, and looked at Ye Qiu as if it was no big deal, and then patted Ye Qiu's junior and said to Ye Qiu: "It seems that your kid is recovering well, but just like this, a big explosion made your kid unconscious for three days, it seems that your physique has to be practiced, Yingying, this kid, you have to practice more in the future." Ye Qinglin said to his daughter-in-law Cai Yingying.

"Dad, don't worry, I will spare no effort to practice this kid" Cai Yingying was cheering in her heart, and finally seized the opportunity to clean up this kid, I thought that I would have to wait for Ye Lingyun to get out of the customs before I had the opportunity to clean him up, who called her a hero who kept her promises, and promised that if she didn't clean up Ye Qiu, she wouldn't clean up Ye Qiu. But the order of the elders is another matter, the more Cai Yingying thinks about it, the happier she becomes, and the corners of her mouth rise slightly.

Mingyue walked to Cai Yingying's side, took Cai Yingying's hand, looked at Cai Yingying aggrievedly, and said: "Sister-in-law, sister-in-law, you must take me, and practice me well, but you can't open a small stove for Ye Qiu alone, otherwise what if he surpasses me." ”

Ye Qiu smiled when she heard Mingyue, a stupid girl, say this, Mingyue immediately turned her head and glared at Ye Qiu and said, "What are you laughing at, Ye Qiu, I tell you don't want to leave me to eat alone, I'm relying on you, hum." ”

Ye Qiu couldn't wait for Mingyue to be with her, after all, people in their forties don't want to be cleaned up by Cai Yingying like when she was a child, Ye Qiu said to Mingyue: "Don't worry, I definitely don't eat alone, how my mother practices, I will definitely let my mother train you." ”

Mingyue looked at Ye Qiu with a suspicious expression, turned her head and hugged her thighs and said to Cai Yingying: "Sister-in-law, I don't believe Ye Qiu, as soon as I look at his expression, there must be fraud, I want you to promise me, otherwise I won't let go." Oh, Ye Qiu really loved this little sister in her heart, Cai Yingying said helplessly with black lines on her head: "Good Mingyue, don't worry, my sister-in-law will treat everyone equally, let's let them go and prepare to eat." Sure enough, after getting Cai Yingying's promise, the little girl glanced at Ye Qiu triumphantly, raised her chin and raised her little head, came to Ye Qinglin's side with a happy look, took Ye Qinglin's hand, and said coquettishly: "Grandpa, if you don't want you to open a small stove for me." Ye Qinglin touched Mingyue's little head lovingly, I don't know if Mingyue's girl's head is missing a tendon, it is Mingyue's appearance that often makes a large family happy, in the past, Ye Qiu would earn a little with Mingyue, and others were simply doting on the girl.

"Okay, let's all go to the table to eat, what are you talking about after eating. Ye Qinglin spoke, and everyone went to the table and began to eat.
