Chapter 31 Bitter wine is the most courageous
In the main hall of the Ye family, Ye Yi drank small wine cup after cup, only in this way could she calmly think about countermeasures, and unconsciously, the wine jug in her hand was empty, she was stunned for a moment, and shouted: "Serve me wine." ”
The slave who was waiting was frightened, and was about to take the wine into the main hall, but was stopped by Ye Jun, the slave cried and said with a sad face: "Lord, you let go of the little one, if the young master has no wine to drink today, he will have to kill me." Just now, there was a person who didn't have long eyes, went up and persuaded two sentences, and was slapped out of the hall with a palm, and life and death were unpredictable. ”
Ye Jun took the wine from the slave's hand and said with a smile: "How can a pot be enough, go and carry a large vat." With that, he took the flask and walked into the main hall.
When Ye Yi saw him, he didn't greet him, but just took the wine, poured it for himself, and drank it all.
Ye Jun said with a smile: "The new law is not welcomed, it is expected, why bother so much." ”
"I just think it's really difficult to be the head of the family, and sometimes I really want to leave the burden. ”
"Don't say this kind of drunken talk, your father passed on this position to you, and he also regarded you as the hope of the whole family, and it was by no means as simple as the family rules of the son inheriting his father's business. Ye Jun also filled himself with a glass, tasted it, spit it out again, and said, "This wine is too bitter, I can't drink it." With that, he poured himself a cup of tea and rinsed his mouth three times before he was done.
Seeing him like this, Ye Yi couldn't help but smile and said, "You obviously know that my family's wine tastes like this, and you still want to try it, aren't you looking for bitterness yourself?"
Ye Jun sighed: "You're right, I just want to find hardships by myself." In fact, I am most afraid of suffering, but when I see this bitter wine, I can't help but take a sip. The smell is so pungent that it makes you suddenly feel so awake that you can clearly remember things that you almost forgot many years ago. Every time I think of those things, my heart is sweet, and the bitterness in my mouth fades. When Ye Jun said this, he secretly glanced at Ye Yi, and his expression was a little strange.
Ye Yi is not like this, seeing things and thinking about people, and the bitter wine enters his throat, the man called his father becomes clear, as if he is standing by your side, caring for you, and his courage is stronger, and he is not so afraid.
One of them drank bitter wine, the other drank fragrant tea, and they were silent for a while, and the silence in the hall was a little terrible. A few slaves brought in a large vat of wine, which was rejected by Ye Yi, and she drank a dozen glasses with a rumbling voice, the drunkenness gradually surged, her face flushed, and her usually calm and wise eyes gradually floated arrogant and uninhibited wildness.
Ye Yi suddenly asked, "If it was my father who was sitting here now, what do you think he would do?"
"He decided to do something and never backed down. Because your father is not like me, he is not afraid of suffering himself, and he does not hesitate to let others suffer. He will only move towards the goal, whether it is the desolate beast in front of him, or the family power, they are all slashed with one sword. The people in Heavenly Sword City say that he is a ruthless person, and I think he is. ”
Ye Yi asked again with interest: "Why do you think he is ruthless." ”
Ye Jun was a little surprised when he heard this, and asked rhetorically: "Don't you think so? In those years, he concentrated on his own goals, fighting in all corners of the Great Wilderness, in a vain attempt to change the pattern of the world. Before your mother died, he didn't come back to see you, and he didn't pay attention to you. ”
"I did think so before, so I also resented him, but since I took over the family's affairs, I can somewhat understand his helplessness. ”
Ye Jun said in a deep voice: "The family's affairs are not the reason why he is so ruthless, he has many choices, but he always chooses the most ruthless way." When Ye Jun said this, his expression seemed to be a little painful, "When we were young, he was the eldest brother I admired the most, talented, chivalrous, and courageous, and he didn't have half of the family's children. I still remember that time when he beat the son of the Feng family and several of his disciples in the song tower, and almost caused the two families to fall out, just because the son of the Feng family molested a singer. ”
"Actually, he hasn't changed, he's never been a ruthless person. It was precisely because he had always held on to his original dream of making Heavenly Sword City a better place that he was so desperate. His ruthlessness is just because he has too much affection, too many affectionate people, he can't see others suffering, there are too many people he wants to rescue, and this heavy burden is on him, so that he has no time to take care of the feelings of his relatives. ”
Ye Jun smiled helplessly and said, "You father and daughter, when you talk about drunkenness, you are exactly the same. However, since you have thought so, you must have already made a decision. He sighed, as if he had foreseen the dangers ahead, "I'll be standing behind you no matter what." ”
Ye Yi was really a little drunk, and he was bold, and said loudly: "Ye Changqing has always coveted the position of the head of the family, and now he is taking advantage of the new law to bring the various families to make trouble, and it is a matter of time before he forces the palace. Since he is so afraid of the new law, I have to push it forward. ”
Ye Jun was silent, he knew very well that it was not difficult to implement the new law, and the real difficulty was still to come. He knew that there was an invisible force in this Heavenly Sword City, this power was impossible to resist, and all those who tried to make changes in vain were crushed by this force, including Ye Jing, the former head of the Ye family.
When Ye Jun returned home, Ye Changqing was waiting for him, it seemed that he had been waiting for a long time, the tea was cold, Mrs. Ye Jun wanted to change him for a new cup of tea, but he waved his hand and refused, and said with a smile: "Ye Jun and I want to talk about some major things in the family, you can go by yourself." When the lady heard this, she walked away with amusement.
Ye Changqing asked straight to the point: "What do you think about the matter of the new law?"
Ye Jun said with a smile: "I think it's good, anyway, my family doesn't have a few spirit mines, and if I divide them, I will divide them, maybe I can get a few more." ”
Ye Changqing squinted his eyes slightly, his eyes were cold, and he said in a deep voice: "Your abacus is very fine, and you dare to follow that little girl, and join hands to slaughter me as a fat sheep?"
"Ye Changqing, you have to be clear that those spirit mines belong to the Ye family, not your private property, and the head of the family has the right to decide how to distribute them. ”
Ye Changqing said: "If these things are still in the hands of the Ye family's disciples, even if I am not happy, there is no way." It's just that Xiao Nizi is completely crazy, in order to win people's hearts, she sent part of the mining rights to the hands of her foreign surname, as a descendant of the Ye family, can you tolerate her doing such nonsense?"
Ye Jun said with a smile: "Although those people have foreign surnames, they have worked hard for the Ye family, even if they give them a few spirit mines, it is not excessive, not to mention that they are only mining rights." ”
When Ye Changqing heard this, he was completely enraged, and he didn't care about his face, and scolded: "You are also a madman, the benefits that our ancestors exchanged for their lives will be buried in the hands of you unscrupulous descendants, don't you feel guilty in your hearts?"
"The ancestors didn't teach us to sit and eat the mountains, they all know to fight with our lives, why should we stick to the rules? Ye Changqing, you should also take a long-term view, don't always stare at that Spirit Mine Mountain Range. ”
Ye Changqing said with a smile: "Okay, I can't convince you, but Ye Jing's affairs, you can't always forget, right? If Ye Yi knows about the ugly things you did, I don't know if you can still have the same deep relationship as now." ”
Ye Jun's expression changed slightly, there were some things that he naturally couldn't forget. However, he quickly smiled lightly, obviously relieved, "You know quite a lot, did the dog jump over the wall in a hurry and completely betray the family?"
"I will not betray the Ye family, the real rebellion is you. Your ignorant actions will make the Ye clan completely disappear from Heavenly Sword City, and I am precisely the last guardian of this family, and the descendants of the Ye clan will naturally know who is the hero in the family. ”
Ye Jun smiled contemptuously and said, "The Ye clan will never recognize a hero like you, because the sincerity and blood of our ancestors cannot be defiled. He took one last look at Ye Changqing, as if he didn't want to see this person anymore, "I may have done very foolish things before, and I have always atoned for my sins in pain for this, and I won't be in the future." ”
"In that case, let's wait and see who wins and loses. Ye Changqing flicked his sleeves and left angrily.
Ye Jun dug out a jar of wine in the backyard, poured himself a big bowl, drank it all, he drank three bowls in a row, and muttered to himself: "Big brother, what you said is not wrong at all, this wine is even more bitter." His wife stood behind him at some point and said with a smile: "You are so stupid, if the bitter wine has been stored for a long time, it will naturally only become more bitter." ”
