Yi family. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

In Zaozhuang, it is already a declining family.

A declining family is like a person who once soared and flourished, but suddenly overnight, lost everything, became destitute, and the light was no longer bad, and people's eyes gradually moved away from it, and then, gradually forgotten.

Perhaps, not only many of the younger generation of the Yi family are suspicious and dissatisfied, but also many of the elders in the clan are also puzzled, their Yi family once had a chance to make a comeback, and their Yi family has a chance to reappear in light and bad, but the head of the family, Yi Lungai, gave up so easily.

Early in the morning, the sun is bright for half a day.

In the garden of the Yi family's backyard, in the pavilion by the lotus pond, the head of the family, Yi Lungai, his wife and two sons eat breakfast.

The couple are of the same age, both in their early fifties, they are all dressed casually, and the clothing materials are also average, and there is no trace of the loss of the wealthy family of the year.

And the two young men, with dark skin and stocky faces, and the palms of the brothers are rough and thick, full of thick calluses, and it can be seen that they should be very diligent, even if the Yi family actually holds half of the shares and enjoys half of the dividends, which is enough for them to squander; in the eyes of many people, their Yi family is completely down, no different from those beggars squatting in the corner of the street, they have no resistance, and they are very cooperative to follow the set route of the people.

Yi Lungai finished eating a pancake in his hand, took the handkerchief handed by his wife, rubbed his hands, looked at his two sons, and said, "You brothers don't go to the mine today." Long'er, you are the boss, on behalf of the Yi family, prepare a generous gift, on behalf of the Yi family, go to Jiangnan Mengjia, and participate in the wedding of the three young people. ”

The two black boys were slightly stunned, and both raised their heads to look at their father, and the slightly shorter young man on the left thought for a moment and said, "When are you going, Dad?"

Yi Lun Gai looked at his wife beside him, his wife nodded, and then, he turned back and said to Yi Long, "Your mother has already taken care of it, and she will set off in a while." Yilong nodded, indicating that he understood.

"Daddy, what about me?" asked the other black boy.

Yi Lungai said: "You go and inform a few old people, touch their heads, and have a small meeting." ”

The black boy hesitated for a moment and said, "Then it won't take a whole day, right?"

"Alas. Yi Lungai couldn't help but sigh sullenly, "Leopard, why don't you think about the mine so much, don't you think about other things and do other things?"

Yi Bao smiled and said, "Dad, at least that piece of mineral has half of us, and I'm doing things for my own family." Especially, now, the dreamer is in trouble, and he will not be able to take his hand to manage it for a while, and if we don't ignore it, then what kind of cooperation is it? Moreover, the child is worried that those families will take the opportunity to arrange some conspiracies and tricks on our construction site, and they have to guard against it. Therefore, the child must be personally supervised. ”

Mrs. Yi couldn't help but say anxiously: "Leopard, your father is worried about your safety, so he didn't allow you to go to the construction site." ”

"Mother," Yi Bao glanced at his mother, and said with a straight face, "Once, many people, including me, didn't understand that at that time, the four great families and dreamers in Jiangnan helped us get through the sadness, and the only condition was only to account for 30% of the shares. Later, I gradually understood that my father was worried that the families would be more terrible blows in the future. In order to preserve the strength of the Yi family, my father showed weakness and retired to a corner. And the facts have proved that Dad's decision at that time was very correct. Today, the Hua family, the Bai family, the Kong family, and the Qian family have really taken action against the Mengjia Group......"

Yi Lungai frowned slightly, the so-called Zhizi Mo Ruo's father, Yi Bao is twenty-one years old, three years younger than his brother, but he has a solid appearance, but he is really a very strong character, once the truth is identified, the nine cows can't pull it back. Therefore, when this son talked eloquently, the head of the Yi family had a big headache and said, "Leopard, what do you want to say?"

Yi Bao said: "What the child wants to say is that Dad, you did the right thing, and you let our Yi family preserve their strength in forbearance." However, the Dream Family gave us great help when we were in danger, and I believe that if there was no help from the Dream Family, our Yi Family would have collapsed and would no longer exist. As beneficiaries, shouldn't we be grateful?"

His brother Yilong immediately said quickly: "Little leopard, do you know that the Dream Family participated in our crisis when we were in danger, and it is clearly suspected of taking advantage of the fire to rob!"

Yi Lungai nodded, indicating that he had already made a conclusion in his heart about the meaning of the dreamer's involvement.

Yi Bao said coldly: "Perhaps, the dreamers have that meaning, but what they have paid for, I believe everyone can see it, and I don't need to say anything." ”

Indeed, the huge compensation for the mining disaster, the recruitment of mining workers after the disaster - especially this one, the danger of Yijia's mining operations was deliberately magnified by well-intentioned people, resulting in problems such as the resignation of former workers and the difficulty of recruiting personnel. These funds were all taken out by the dreamers.

The head of the Yi family pondered for a moment, and finally sighed for a long time, and said: "I am also ashamed of how sorry I am for the dreamer, but you should also understand how terrifying the Hua family's energy is, and they picked the helm of the dreamer overnight." ”

His eyes showed a hint of fear, and he muttered, "I have already sent a letter to Kaifeng, if you really can't get through here, just leave here." ”

"Dad-" Yi Bao wanted to say something, but he pulled his brother up and dragged him away, Yi Long smiled and said, "Dad, let's go out first, you can rest for a while." ”

"Hmm. Elungai closed his eyes tiredly.

"Master......" Mrs. Yi frowned.

Yi Lungai waved his hand lightly and said, "It's okay, I just want to be quiet for a while." ”

Mrs. Yi was silent.

However, Yi Lungai didn't stay quiet for long, a man in gray trotted over, stood outside the pavilion, and said respectfully: "The head of the family, Ouyang Shen of the Ouyang family and Miss Shangguan of the Shangguan family are visiting, and the little one is good at making a proposal to let them wait in the living room." ”

Yi Lungai opened his eyes, glanced at him, and said, "Well, there is no rudeness with people. You go to the pot and wait for the tea, and I'll be there shortly." ”

"Yes. The man in gray bowed, took a few steps back, and then turned and walked out quickly.

Ouyang Shen and Shangguan Sanmei didn't stay in the Yi family for a long time, less than half an hour.

What can be done in half an hour?

Drink a cup of tea, copy some politeness, and then, the head of the east and the short of the west family chatter a few words?

Even the third sister of Shangguan was very confused, so after walking out of the Yi family, she couldn't help but ask her little friend: "What's the point of us just making a quick contact with the Yi family and leaving?"

Ouyang Shen jumped into the saddle, glanced back at the two loyal doormen, nodded politely at them, and the two doormen smiled in return.

Ouyang Shen patted the horse's back and ran onto the avenue.

"Oops-" The third sister of Shangguan was extremely dissatisfied, and dared to be a little surprised and dissatisfied with this kid who had made her bold and fat when she was young, and chased after her, biting her red lips lightly, and squinting at him, "Hmph, you can endure it, don't bother to talk to me, okay, don't talk to me for three days." ”

Ouyang Shen's face was sad for a while, and he said helplessly: "Third sister, don't make trouble-"

Seeing that Shangguan Sanmei looked unrelenting, she shook her head and said, "Actually, we handed over half of the shares from the Yi family, and took the initiative to hand over the management rights, from the day we took over, we didn't plan to get any help from the Yi family, and the Yi family also decided to withdraw from the battle with the Hua family and the Bai family." His eyes looked into the distance, as if he was thinking about something, paused, and continued: "According to the original meaning of Sister Ma, we came to Zaozhuang, so we don't have to visit the Yi family." Sister Ma is kind-hearted, and she knows that since the Yi family has no intention of participating in the fight, she plans to fulfill them. However, as you know, halfway through, we received a message from Sanshao's flying pigeon, asking us to go to Yijia's house. ”

On the road in the morning, there were not many pedestrians, and the two slowed down. Shangguan Sanmei said: "I naturally know Sanshao's letter, but he only told us to go to Yi's house, but he didn't explain in detail what we were going to do. Sanshao's mind is really elusive. ”

Ouyang Shen smiled and said with a smile: "This time, the meaning of the three young people, but it is not difficult to guess. ”

Shangguan Sanmei looked at him with a strange expression, and then said, "Do you really know?"

Ouyang Shen said: "Actually, what Sanshao means is just to take a look at the attitude of the Yi family. ”

Shangguan Sanmei said: "The attitude of the Yi family?"

Ouyang Shen said: "Yes." If the Yi family completely holds the attitude of staying out of the matter, it is not difficult to imagine that with the ruthless way of dealing with the enemy of the three young people, it will be difficult for the Yi family to be spared. ”

Shangguan Sanmei thought for a while and said, "Yes." Fortunately, Yi Lungai's attitude was quite good just now, indicating that when we need it, they can come up with manpower for us to deploy. ”

A hint of strangeness appeared in Ouyang Shen's eyes, as if muttering to himself: "This is strange." The two of us have come to Zaozhuang a lot, so we know more about Yilungai, third sister, do you feel that he is different from before?"

Shangguan Sanmei pondered for a moment and said, "In the past, every time we met, although his face was full of enthusiasm, anyone could see that what was written was full of politeness - it was a kind of politeness full of rejection!"

"Yes. Ouyang Shen said, "Relatively speaking, seeing each other today, although it is as plain as water, whether it is his tone or his attitude, there is unprecedented sincerity everywhere, at least, it is comfortable." ”

Shangguan Sanmei said: "The most rare thing is that the black boy of Yibao, listening to the workers in the mine, not only manages production with Lao Lin, but also personally goes down to the mine from time to time to observe, and then, eats and lives with the workers, treats the workers amiably, and has no arrogant arrogance of other sons. Yes, it is very popular with the workers. ”

Ouyang Shen said: "That kid, it's comfortable to watch, find him to drink two cups another day." ”

Shangguan Sanmei said, "Don't forget to bring me." ”

Ouyang Shen stared at her meaningfully and said, "I have to dare to forget." ”

The third sister of Shangguan sneered with a "hehe" sneer, and her face was sure of what you meant.

After a moment of conversation, a tea shop came into view.

On the road about ten feet away from the tea shop, under the big banyan tree, a carriage and seven or eight horses were parked.

There was no driver in the car, but under the banyan tree, seven or eight black-clothed men could be seen squatting or leaning against the trunk, pinching the sea bowl, and drinking tea.

Even, some people fan their clothes while drinking tea to cool down.

It can be seen that it is so hot in such an early morning, it should be a long journey. Obviously, these people are all bodyguards and the like in the carriage, as for who is so delicate and expensive, and needs so many bodyguards to protect them when they go out of the road, it is unknown.

Ouyang Shen couldn't help frowning slightly.

Although this road is also an official road, but where the construction level of the official road, that is, the width and quality, is divided by the local urban living standards, with Zaozhuang and other cities that are not as good as the ninth, the official road naturally cannot be compared with those first-tier cities Kangzhuang Avenue, the main reason why the official road was approved to be built, is because there are rich coal mines, which must be transmitted and transported through the road.

The narrow official road, a carriage, and seven or eight horses almost blocked the entire road.

Ouyang Shen and the third sister of Shangguan held the reins five zhang away from the carriage, and Ouyang Shen hugged his fists at several big men and said, "Heroes, can you take care of your mounts and let us pass." Thank you. ”

A big man raised his head, squinted his eyes, looked at Ouyang Shen coldly, and said coldly: "What do you mean, you mean that we didn't take care of our mounts anymore?"

Ouyang Shen said lightly: "Don't dare, it's just that your mounts don't have a firm position, I'm worried that if we pass here, I'm afraid that there will be some alarm, once these livestock run willfully, I'm afraid, you will suffer losses." ”

The big man smiled "hehe", looked at the third sister of Shangguan, showed a lewd smile on his face, and said: "The loss doesn't matter, as long as this beautiful girl next to you stays, it's done." ”

Ouyang Shen's complexion changed and sank. In this world, maybe Meng Sanshao can make him pious respect and even afraid, maybe Shangguan Sanmei can eat him, but definitely not anyone can make him afraid, let alone cats and dogs. His eyes were cold, and his fingers were glued to the hilt of the knife.

The third sister of Shangguan had already drawn her knife angrily, and the tip of the knife pointed at the big man, and said sharply: "Shameless thief!"

Ouyang Shen on the side pressed her fragrant shoulder, and said coldly: "Ming people don't do dark things, who are you, what do you mean, say it." ”

The big man on the opposite side seemed to be stunned, as if he was a little embarrassed to be caught by a thief, and wanted to say something, but was pulled by a big man who was silently squatting next to him, and then, this squatting big man slowly stood up, looked at Ouyang Shen intently, and then, nodded, and said: "The people of the four major families in Jiangnan are really not ordinary people, you are Ouyang Shen and Ouyang Gongzi?"

Ouyang Shen said: "Yes." ”

Dahan said: "I am the person next to Hua Wenhua, the second son of the Hua family, Hu Biqian." ”

Ouyang Shen's eyes flashed, and he said: "Oh, it turns out that it is a well-known pair of tiger heroes who stand alone in the rivers and lakes with copper hammers. ”

Hu Biqian smiled and said: "The meager reputation, in front of Ouyang Gongzi, I am smiling, don't mention it." ”

His face was straight, and he said: "That's the case, the second son of the Hua family was overjoyed to know that Ouyang Gongzi and Miss Shangguan came to Zaozhuang, and he wanted to greet him in person, but he was entangled in cumbersome affairs, and he couldn't get out, so he had to let a few of our vulgar men who had no weight come to invite him on his behalf, and I hope that the two of them will give a reward of one or two thin noodles, and go to the second son's place with us to have a drink, which is also good." ”

Ouyang was silent in a deep voice. Shangguan Sanmei said: "It's not impossible for us to go with you." ”

Hu Biqian was overjoyed and said, "Miss Shangguan, do you agree?"

Shangguan Sanmei said: "Why don't you agree, the Hua family is one of the world's top wealthy giants, there should be a lot of delicious food and drink, it is rare for him to be so sincere, and if he refuses, it can't help but seem that we are too petty." ”

Hu Biqian said: "Miss Shangguan is polite. ”

The third sister of Shangguan said eloquently: "It's just that, do you have to have a good mood when you eat and drink?"

Hu Biqian said: "Of course, if you are in a bad mood, eating dragon meat will also taste the same as chewing wax." ”

Shangguan Third Sister said: "I am very grateful for the kind invitation of the second son of Hua, but now, I am in a very bad mood." ”

"Uh-"

Hu Biqian's eyes were slightly stunned, and then he slowly turned to the big man who spoke first, the big man was stunned for a moment, and then, his face was ugly, well, one black and one red, black is the skin, and the red is the color of shame and anger, as if the aunt of the big girl smashed it on the face and became an uneven distribution situation.

Hu Biqian looked at him and said coldly: "Apologize, apologize to Miss Shangguan." ”

The big man clenched his fists, and the green tendons on the back of his hands were prominent, as if he wanted to fight with someone at any time.

It must be known that the people of the rivers and lakes are proud in their bones. Jianghu people can spill blood, cut off their heads, and throw away many things, but the only thing they can't do is to admit their mistakes and bend their waists.

The essence of martial arts cultivation is not to become immortals and create immortality.

Rather, dignity.

Yes, cultivating martial arts is to serve to gain dignity.

And, asking a martial artist to admit his mistake and bend his waist is to brutally tear up and completely veto the whole purpose of learning martial arts.

Ouyang Shen's face was expressionless, as if everything had nothing to do with him.

Shangguan Sanmei is a girl, her heart is soft, and when she saw the sad appearance of the big man, she finally couldn't bear it, and waved her jade hand and said, "Hubi Qianhu hero, right?"

Hu Biqian said: "Yes, Miss Shangguan, what's wrong?"

Shangguan Sanmei's eyes quickly swept over the big man's face, and said, "I haven't eaten breakfast yet, please lead the way." ”

The big man's eyes were stunned, and he looked at her in disbelief, revealing a hint of gratitude.

Hu Biqian was overjoyed and pointed to the carriageway: "Please sit in the car." ”

Ouyang Shen said: "The weather is hot, and the inside is stuffy, but it's still not as good as the outside." ”

Hu Biqian nodded and said, "That's what I said." ”

Then, his gaze quickly swept around, and he shouted, "Go." ”
