If it weren't for Tang Shuyan's orders, Xiaocui wouldn't have come over at all. Although she knew Tang Shuyan's temper and knew that she was kind and kind, as a maid who had been with her for decades, of course she didn't want An Si's appearance to disturb Tang Shuyan's originally peaceful life.

An Si was not grateful, she knew who the second lady in Xiao Cui's mouth was referring to, so she didn't pay attention to what Xiao Cui did at all, and there was no gratitude. What's more, in her opinion, even if Xiao Cui didn't come, these two Ye family disciples wouldn't want to stop her way at all.

Xiao Cui looked at Ye Qian's eyes just now, An Si clearly captured it, and as soon as An Si left, An Si turned his head to look at Ye Qian and said, "You remember, that woman is our biggest enemy, if you have the chance, you must kill her for me." With that, he walked straight to the front hall.

The two Ye family disciples who were in charge of guarding did not dare to have any neglect, and hurriedly informed Ye Zhenyang. Dedication to duty, this is the rule they must abide by, although it is said that it is the order of the second lady to release Ye Qian and the others, but they are naturally sandwiched in the middle to be comprehensive. With the order of the second lady, it may not be a problem to let go, but if Ye Zhenyang is not notified, it will be a problem.

Answering Ye Zhenyang's phone, the two Ye family disciples in charge of guarding said, "Butler, they went to the front hall. ”

"What, didn't I let you watch them, why did you let them come?" Ye Zhenyang said with a slight annoyance.

"Butler, this is the second lady's order, we dare not disobey it. The Ye family disciple who was guarding said.

Slightly stunned, Ye Zhenyang said: "Forget it, since they have all come, it's useless for you to stay there, after a hard night, you should also go and rest." In the afternoon, there is a martial arts competition, so come and have a look after you have rested, which will help you in your cultivation. ”

After hanging up the phone, Ye Zhenyang hurriedly walked to Ye Zhengxiong's side, whispered a few words in his ear, and briefly explained the situation of Ye Qian and the others coming here. Slightly stunned, Ye Zhengxiong sighed and said, "Since it has already come, it is too late to stop it." The birthday banquet is about to start, and people from all sects and families on the rivers and lakes are coming over one after another, and they can't let them see the jokes. You go to the front and warn that woman, if she dares to play any tricks, my Ye family will definitely let her live rather than die. ”

Nodding slightly, Ye Zhenyang walked out. Ansi chose to come at this time, obviously there is a purpose, things have developed to this point, and the only thing she can do is to warn Ansi and let her stop playing tricks. It's just that Ye Zhenyang didn't expect that the second lady would come forward to help them. However, thinking about the second lady's personality, this is also a reasonable thing. Sighing slightly, Ye Zhenyang walked briskly outside.

The birthday ceremony is set up in the front hall, and the descendants of the Ye family and the representatives of various families on the rivers and lakes will go to the restaurant to hold a birthday banquet together after paying their birthday greetings. The Ye family's status in the rivers and lakes is very high, especially when Ye Zhengran swept the rivers and lakes and defeated the masters of many sects, which made the Ye family's status increase day by day. Especially the war more than 20 years ago, it has become a myth in the rivers and lakes. Although Ye Zhengran is no longer there, his majesty still makes the families of the various sects feel uneasy.

Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, but the rivers and lakes of the ancient warriors are different from ordinary rivers and lakes. However, the similarity is also the law of the jungle. This is the immutable law of this world, the weak should be eliminated, and whoever can't adapt to society must be eliminated, perhaps, this is the so-called natural selection.

The front hall has already been arranged, and there is a Taishi chair in the center, and a big longevity character hangs behind it. The word longevity is made of gold paint, which is extraordinarily golden. There are coffee tables and chairs below, which are for the representatives of the various sects of the rivers and lakes who come to pay their respects.

Don't underestimate this ranking, it's quite troublesome. The most important thing for these ancient warriors is to have a face, the face of their own sect in the rivers and lakes, so the order of seats is also based on the status of each sect family in the rivers and lakes. Just the arrangement of the seats, I worried about Ye Zhengxiong all night, but this seemingly simple thing can not be neglected in the slightest, once the guests who pay their birthday feel dissatisfied, or even feel that the Ye family is despising them, it is very likely that the friendly relationship that has been built up so hard will be shattered.

The old man Ye Fengmao is very happy today, his 80th birthday, people can live to this age, and look at the five generations in the same house, then they should be satisfied. Originally, the old man Ye Fengmao didn't want to hold such a large-scale birthday banquet, he just wanted the family to get together and forget it, after all, the children and grandchildren of the Ye family are busy all over the place, fighting for the family, and it is rare to have the opportunity to meet. However, Ye Zhengxiong said that he wanted to take this opportunity to repair the relationship with people from other sect families on the rivers and lakes, which would be very beneficial to the future development of the Ye family. After all, no matter how powerful your family is, if you don't have one or two alliances, there is no way to gain a foothold in the rivers and lakes.

The rivers and lakes are a big oil pot, and when you roll around, you know that it is not easy to gain a foothold.

Twenty years ago, the old man had stepped down as the head of the family and passed it to his eldest son, Ye Zhengxiong, and lived a reclusive life. Over the years, he has almost ignored the affairs of the rivers and lakes, and he rarely interfered in the affairs of the Ye family. However, asking doesn't mean that you don't know, seeing that the development of the Ye family in Ye Zhengxiong's hands is quite stable, and the old man can be regarded as an old man. Maybe it's because he's getting old, and even the ambitions he had back then are gone, and he no longer expects the Ye family to continue to climb the peak, but only hopes to live a peaceful and stable life and enjoy the joy of family. However, the disciples of the Ye family are all working hard outside, struggling outside, with undying passion and blood, which is of course something he wants to see. He can't hope that the disciples of the Ye family are all losers, right?

Although he is already eighty years old, the old man is still physically strong and energetic, and the light in his eyes shows his extraordinary life. The people from the various sect families who came to pay their respects had already come over one after another, and Ye Zhengxiong personally entertained them and arranged their seats. It was all well thought out, but it didn't cause any unpleasantness. People from all major families and sects also greeted each other, and their attitudes looked very kind. In fact, these are like those large gatherings in high society, most of the people are wearing masks, and if he smiles at you, it doesn't mean that he really wants to reconcile with you. The human heart is the most elusive thing.

This time, the families of the various sects came to pay their respects, which was just one of the purposes, and the more important thing was to take a look at the kung fu of the younger disciples of the Ye family, and see if there were any particularly outstanding talents, so as to determine their attitude towards the Ye family in the future. A family is like a dynasty in the past, if it needs to continue the myth and continue to develop steadily, it needs to have good successors from generation to generation.

And Ye Zhengxiong is also out of the same consideration, that is, he wants these people in the rivers and lakes to take a look at the performance of the Ye family's juniors, so that they are afraid of the Ye family, so they dare not easily offend the Ye family and continue to maintain the Ye family's detachment. Each has a ghost, but on the surface, they are all smiling.

When the old man came in from the door, the birthday worshippers of the various sect families stood up one after another, saying some hypocritical words of congratulations. The old man also returned the salute with his fists one by one, smiling hehe, with a happy smile on his face. Walking to the Taishi chair in the center and sitting down, the old man waved his hand and said: "Feng Mao is immoral and incompetent, today I can get the face of all the major families to come to the old man to pay his respects, I am really ashamed, the old man has thanked him here." There are drinks and food in the back hall, and you will be invited to enjoy a few drinks in a while. ”

There was a cacophony below, and everyone was muttering something about the scene.

"Ye Zhengxiong (Ye Zhengfeng) gave the old man a birthday greeting, and wished the old man a blessing like the East China Sea and a long life than Nanshan. Two middle-aged men knelt down opposite the old man in the aisle and bowed. It is the eldest son of the old man, Ye Zhengxiong of the current Ye family, and Ye Zhengfeng, the third son.

"Good, good, good. The old man smiled and said, "Get up, get up." Come, one red envelope per person, good luck. Although the old man's smile was very happy, there was inevitably some sadness between his eyebrows, if Ye Zhengran was still there, it would be great.

Ye Zhengxiong saw the old man's thoughts, and said softly on the side, "Dad, today is your 80th birthday, you should think of something happy." ”

"yes, yes. The old man nodded again and again, suppressing the longing in his heart.

"The daughters-in-law give the old man a birthday greeting, and wish the old man happiness like the long flowing water of the East China Sea, and a longevity that is better than the old pine of Nanshan. Three middle-aged women knelt down in front of the old man and bowed.

The old man smiled and said, "Get up, get up." Then there was another red envelope for one person. Then maybe Tang Shuyan glanced at her, nodded slightly, and said, "I thought you wouldn't come today, but now I see you coming, Dad is very happy." ”

"Why didn't I come, today is the old man's eightieth birthday. The daughter-in-law didn't prepare any big gifts, a little heart, and hoped that the old man would accept it with a smile. Tang Shuyan said as she took the birthday gift that had been prepared a long time ago from Xiaocui's hand, handed it to the old man, and said.

"I have a heart. The old man said with a slight smile.

Then it was the birthday greetings of the grandchildren and great-grandchildren of the Ye family, and they were all in good spirits today, because they all knew very well that after the birthday banquet, there would be a martial arts competition, and whether they could get the favor of the old man or not depended on this time. Although the old man no longer asks about the affairs of the Ye family, his authority in the Ye family is stable, and whoever can be favored by him will have an unlimited future in the future.
