Volume 1 Feng Ling Pavilion Chapter 43 The Zhou Family in Tianning City
In the two years of close cooperation between the Zhou family and the Ye family, Ye Nantian got acquainted with the third lady of the Zhou family, that is, Ye Xiaoling's mother.
Because of the close cooperation between the two families, there are actually many opportunities for the two to meet, and unconsciously, two people of similar age have known each other from the beginning to the acquaintance, until the end of the love is more private than you make a lifelong decision.
When Ye Nantian came to the door with a gift to ask for marriage, it caused chaos in the Zhou family.
It is said that Grandpa Zhou, who is in charge, was half angry to death, I sincerely cooperated with you as a brother, but you secretly soaked my daughter?
Don't say anything, break off friendship, you must break off friendship, get out with your dowry!
The intimate relationship between the Zhou family and the Ye family broke down in an instant, all cooperation was terminated, and the two families who had been working closely together suddenly became enemies of life and death.
The reason is because Miss Zhou Jiasan had a marriage contract at that time.
The fiancé is the sister-in-law of the Li family, a big family in Tianluo City, and the marriage date of the two is not far away.
In the eyes of the Zhou family, although Ye Nantian has done a good job with the Zhou family in the past two years, whether it is wealth, connections or heritage, compared with the Zhou family and the Li family, which have been inherited for hundreds of years, it is not a star and a half.
In the final analysis, Ye Nantian is at most an upstart, or an upstart who once sucked blood on the Zhou family, maybe he will suddenly fall one day.
The Li family, the big family in Tianluo City, is different, it has been inherited for hundreds of years, and its foundation is solid.
In the last Ziyang Mansion Mansion's embezzlement case, although the Li family was also seriously injured, the foundation is still there, and after two years of recuperation, the strength of the Li family has basically recovered.
Therefore, it is not difficult to choose between Ye Nantian and the Li family's son-in-law.
So, Grandpa Zhou beat the mandarin ducks and wanted to break up Father Ye and Father Ye, in order to cut off the idea of his daughter and Ye Nantian, he decided to marry early.
The Li family in Tianluo City also agreed, and for a while, the two families began to quickly prepare for the wedding.
Just when Ye's father and Ye mother said goodbye with tears, and even prepared to "fly southeast with peacocks", something unexpected happened.
The envoy of the upper domain came again, and the lord of Ziyang Mansion, who had just been in office for only two years, had another incident.
This time it's much more powerful than the previous one!
Last time, the owner of Ziyang Mansion was just a simple corruption and bribery for personal gain, and if he was caught, he would be exiled at most, so that he would not die and be wiped out, and his comrades would be exiled at most.
But this time, the lord of Ziyang Mansion was involved in the battle for the imperial throne, and the prince he supported failed to compete for the throne.
Once the son of heaven is a courtier, the new emperor ascends the throne naturally to reward, win over and liquidate.
Unfortunately, the new two-year-old lord of Ziyang Mansion was included in the liquidation list, and once ordered, he was given death for the crime of rebellion, and his subordinates were beheaded.
And in the past two years, the Li family, the great family of Tianluo City, who has been in close contact with them, has fallen into blood mold for eight lifetimes.
Not only was the family property confiscated, but the entire Li family was arrested, and after being tortured, one by one, the killing and the exile were exiled, and within a few days, a big family that had been inherited for hundreds of years disappeared.
The Zhou family did not end well, at that time, the two families happened to be preparing for marriage, and the Zhou family also fell into the eyes of the envoy of the upper region and was ordered to investigate.
All of a sudden, the Zhou family panicked!
Not to mention that the Li family's sister-in-law has been beheaded, even if he is not dead, they don't dare to recognize this son-in-law!
At the moment, in order to clear up the relationship, they decisively found Ye Nantian to carry out the top bag, and quickly held a huge wedding for their daughter and Ye Nantian in Tianning City.
What? You say that my Zhou family participated in the rebellion? Is there any evidence?
What? My Zhou family and his Li family are in-laws?
Nonsense, my Zhou family has only one daughter, who is married to Ye Nantian of Nantian Goods Store in Yongan Town, so don't joke with the envoy.
My lord, we are just congratulatory gifts, but we are just marrying at the same time, and we are just selling face to each other through ordinary friendships.
My daughter is married to Ye Nantian in Yong'an Town, as for who his son marries, I don't know, our two families are not familiar at all, there is no need to know so much.
Those are all rumors, and the Envoy will certainly not believe them.
............
With a three-inch tongue that is not rotten, and the two families did not make a formal marriage contract, so, after secretly offering a large amount of filial piety, the Zhou family finally turned the corner.
But the daughter married Ye Nantian after all, there was no way, in that critical time, except for Ye Nantian, no rich family dared to marry the daughter of the Zhou family at the risk of destroying the family.
In this way, the Zhou family and the Ye family became in-laws, but the relationship between the two families did not get better because of this, but barely maintained a superficial harmonious relationship, in fact, the two families have hardly interacted for so many years.
Of course, this means that Ye's father has not had much contact with the Zhou family, and Ye's mother has a good relationship with her mother's family, and she goes back to visit relatives every year.
Father Ye has a bad relationship with the Zhou family, and the reason for this is that in addition to this past on the surface, there seem to be other reasons secretly.
What it is, no one knows, and Ye Yi doesn't know.
Since he was a child, he has hardly ever gotten a good face when he went to the Zhou family, because everyone in the Zhou family knows that he Ye Yi is just a wild child picked up by Ye Nantian.
Even Ye Nantian didn't give them a good look, let alone a wild child he picked up.
However, for Ye Mu and Ye Xiaoling, the Zhou family is normal, in their opinion, their mother and daughter have the blood of the Zhou family in their bodies, and they can be regarded as the Zhou family.
If it was in previous years, Mother Ye went back to her parents' house to visit relatives, Ye Yi would definitely not follow, but today is Grandpa Zhou's 70th birthday, and Mother Ye took it as an opportunity to ease the relationship between the two families, so she forced him to come.
Tianning City is really a bit far away from Yong'an Town, and it was already afternoon when I set off in the morning and arrived at Zhoufu.
It was the Zhou family's second master who came out to greet him, that is, the second brother of Ye's mother.
"Third sister, you're here, my father and eldest brother have been waiting for you for a long time!"
"Yo, my niece Xiaoling is also here, this little half a year, unexpectedly, the yellow-haired girl has become a slim girl!"
"Don't stand outside the house, go in quickly, there are many guests today, don't blame the second uncle for not greeting him well!"
"Yunlong, come here, your sister-in-law and cousin are here, what are you waiting for?
Sure enough, it was exactly the same as imagined, the Zhou family only regarded Ye's mother and Xiaoling as relatives, and Ye's father and him Ye Yi, but they were ignored directly, and they didn't even say a word about letting them in.
Ignoring this to this point, Ye Yi stood outside the door and felt embarrassed for Father Ye.
Fortunately, Father Ye is not a young and vigorous teenager, he has been used to it over the years, he just laughs, and he is not angry, he is completely a saint who does not like things and does not feel sorry for himself, in fact, it is ugly to say that a dead pig is not afraid of boiling water.
Fortunately, there are Ye Mu and Xiao Ling next to them as palliatives, so to say that the second master finally gave face, pretending to have just seen his brother-in-law, and said hello without being salty, and let his son lead the group in.
Several people entered the inner hall all the way and saw Grandpa Zhou and Uncle Zhou in the inner hall, and there were a few juniors of the Zhou family next to them.
Ye Mu and Xiao Ling greeted each other according to their seniority and exchanged pleasantries with the Zhou family!
In the same way, Ye Yi and Father Ye were deliberately ignored, basically the Zhou family just said hello expressionlessly, signaling that I saw you, and then stopped paying attention.
Grandpa Zhou is like this, Uncle Zhou is like this, and even some cousins with their fathers are the same.
However, among the younger generation of the Zhou family, there is not much hostility towards Father Ye, probably because of the identity of the younger generation, it is not good to be too rude, but because of the will of the parents and grandparents, they also dare not express their closeness.
But they are different from Ye Yi, they are completely hostile, and they all sound like they care about him, but they are actually exposing his old background and spreading that he is a bastard in the Fengling Pavilion.
If Ye Yi only had one person coming, he would not be too lazy to refute, after all, they would not be able to hurt a single hair of themselves, and rebuttal would be a pure waste of saliva.
But Ye's father, Ye's mother, and Xiao Ling are here, and if they are humiliated, they must not feel very comfortable.
Therefore, for all the slander, Ye Yi insisted that it was a rumor, and broke ten thousand laws with one force, and his calm and relaxed attitude and unhesitating denial made the Zhou family almost believe it.
There is the Fengling Pavilion in Baihe City, and there is also the Hidden Shadow Sect in Tianning City, both of which are one of the six major sect academies of Ziyang Mansion, and their power and reputation are comparable.
The Zhou family is a big clan in Tianning City, and it is not difficult for the children of the clan to enter the Hidden Shadow Sect, so naturally no one will go to school in the Fengling Pavilion.
In the past, the Zhou family still had a lot of industries in Baihe City and the towns under its jurisdiction, and there was no problem with controlling the news of Baihe City at that time.
But since that incident, all the Zhou family's forces in the area of Baihe City have been transferred to Ye Nantian.
Over the years, there has been almost no contact between the two businesses, the Ye family's industry does not develop in the direction of Tianning City, and the Zhou family does not do business in Baihe City.
Therefore, about Ye Yi's situation, the Zhou family heard about it through outsiders, and when Ye Yi categorically denied it, they had no way to prove that those words were not rumors.
The most realistic point is that the news they got is that Ye Yi's cultivation so far is the eightfold spirit of Yunling, but Ye Yi in front of him has obviously reached the realm of opening the pulse, and the news is obviously untrue.
It is said that if a person is shameless, the world is invincible, and Ye Xiaoling next to him believed this sentence at this moment.
She is clear about Ye Yi's details, the rumors said by the Zhou family are completely true, those bastard things were done by Ye Yi, but Ye Yi denied it so calmly, and really let him get involved, and those cousins of the Zhou family couldn't question and refute it at all.
