Unparalleled Concubine

   Chapter 692 Ningling Ye Family

   This birthday banquet was quite grand.

After all, this is the 80th birthday of old man Ye. To put it in a very unpleasant but very objective way, even if this old man survives this injury outbreak, it is unlikely that he will live to the next full ten years old. This may be the last big birthday of the old man. .

In the early morning of the birthday banquet, the Ye family was very busy. The old fourth Ye Lin was busy in the house, preparing for the guests who were about to come, and Ye Mao, the young master, was not idle, and followed behind Ye Lin to prepare matter.

And the Marquis of Jing'an, Li Xin, also brought his family to Chen Guogong's mansion to help early in the morning. After meeting the old man Ye in the small courtyard with the eldest princess and the younger son, the eldest princess went to the backyard to talk to the female relatives of the Ye family. , Only Li Xin hugged Li Ping and stayed in this small courtyard to accompany Ye Sheng.

   The little guy and Ye Sheng are very close.

Li Xin's young son is a little afraid of life. He is at home on weekdays. Except for Li Xin and his wife, Zhong Xiaoxiao, and sister Ahan, as long as everyone hugs him, he will cry. He was held in the arms of old man Ye, this little baby didn't cry or make trouble, just opened his big eyes and looked at the old grandfather with white hair and beard in front of him.

Ye Sheng is a typical reckless man. He thinks that children are annoying, and he will not take children. When his four sons were born, he did not hold them much, only his grandson Ye Mao. , But now that he was getting old, looking at this boy who was only a few months old in his arms, he actually gave birth to a rare peace in his heart.

   This is the peace he has not found in the residence for more than 20 years after returning to Beijing for 40 years.

  Little Li Ping curiously stretched out his hand and scratched the beard of the old grandfather in front of him.

Old man Ye is 80 years old this year, and the beard on his lower jaw has become thinner and thinner. Usually, he is not good with the few dozen beards left, but now Li Ping is holding it in his hand. He is not annoyed, but just smiles. Touched the little guy's face.

   "Your father doesn't dare to grab the old man's beard. Since you dare, it seems that your kid is more courageous than your father."

Li Xin, who was sitting next to him, said with a smile, "Newborn calves are not afraid of tigers, this doll still doesn't know how powerful your old man is. When he grows up and hears Master Ye's story, he may be in your hands. Frightened **** in front of me."

   Ye Sheng patted Xiao Li Ping on the back and slowly let out a breath.

   "At that time, 80% of the old man was gone."

   Lord Jingan coughed.

   "On a good day, Master Ye, don't say such bad words."

   Old man Ye laughed dumbly.

   "I don't know how many people have secretly cursed me to death for decades. If the words are useful, the old man has no bones left by now."

   Having said this, he glanced at Li Xin and asked, "What about your Master Wang, didn't you say yesterday that I would come with you today, why didn't you see him?"

   Li Xin frowned and said, "I was informed yesterday, I don't know why, I haven't come over yet."

   Old man Ye nodded and said nothing.

The master and apprentice were talking in the courtyard, the courtyard door was pushed open with a creak, the young master Ye Mao stepped in, knelt directly in front of Ye Sheng, and kowtowed: "Grandpa, some cousins ​​of Ning Ling are here. , I want to come in and kowtow to your old man."

   Old Man Ye’s birthday, although very solemn, but most of the people invited are relatives and friends, as well as some old friends from the past.

  Ningling's Ye family also sent someone here.

   Ye Sheng didn't come out of a rock. He came from an ordinary village family in Ningling. The farmers of this era have a characteristic, that is, as long as they can eat enough, they will die and give birth to children.

  Old man Ye has four brothers and three sisters who survived, and there are countless other brothers and sisters who died and did not support him.

Originally, after Ye Sheng made his fortune, these "relatives" could all become the foundation of the Ye family, making the Ye family in the capital quickly become a big family, not like now, the three generations together are less than ten people. Miserable look.

   But when Ye Sheng returned to Beijing from the Northern Zhou Dynasty, he was in a rather awkward situation, so if he could keep a low profile, he would keep a low profile.

   Besides, the people from Ningling's hometown had never seen the world, so even if Ye Sheng carried them to the aristocratic family in the capital, they might not be able to endure this blessing, and they might even cause trouble.

   It is not as good as it is now. Although there are not many Ye family members, they are all characters, and there is no one who is out of shape.

   Even so, the Ye family was called a nouveau riche by outsiders.

Because Ye Sheng has a great reputation in Dajin, his hometown, Ningling, is even more proud of him. He started to build a shrine for him decades ago. He worshipped a god.

With this prestige, the Ye family of Ningling can be considered to have gotten rid of the hard times in the past. In addition, the court has donated a lot of land to them. This Ye family can be regarded as the landlord of Ningling, and they are still sensible. , I don't dare to come to the capital to disturb Ye Sheng. It's only during the New Year's holiday that Old Man Ye's nephews will send a representative to come to the capital to give Old Man Ye some local specialties from his hometown, and then kowtow to the old man.

  Each year, Ye Sheng accepts these local specialties.

Ye Sheng is the third eldest in the family. He is 80 years old this year. His brothers have all passed away, and now he has few nephews left. This time he came to the capital to pay birthday wishes to the old man. It's his nephew, but his nephew.

   Hearing that it was Ning Ling's hometown, Ye Sheng's expression moved slightly, and finally nodded: "Let them come in."

   Ye Mao nodded and turned to bring someone in.

  This old man is a person who misses his hometown very much.

   He hadn't been able to go back to Ningling once for more than 40 years, but he still remembered his homeland. When Ye Lin, the fourth elder of the Ye family, was awarded the title of Marquis of Ningling, the old man was jealous for a while.

  Last year, when he was sick, he told his young master Ye Mao that if he died in the future, he would return to his homeland and be buried in Ningling's hometown.

  Li Xin took his youngest son from Old Man Ye and said with a smile, "This disciple avoids and avoids?"

   "No need."

   Ye Sheng coughed and said, "It's all my own."

After a while, Ye Mao walked in with two people who looked to be in their thirties. These two people had darker skin than ordinary people. They looked like farmers from farmers, but they didn't dress like that. ordinary farmer.

   After the two came to the yard, they didn't dare to raise their heads, knelt directly in front of Ye Sheng, and kowtowed: "Ye Chong, Ye Yong, the eldest son of the Ye family, kowtowed to the third grandfather."

   They are all the grandsons of Ye Sheng's eldest brother. As for Ye Sheng's eldest brother, he has been dead for more than 40 years.

   Ye Sheng coughed and leaned up to sit up from the reclining chair. Li Xin noticed that he was struggling, and immediately stretched out a hand to support Ye Sheng.

   Old man Ye finally sat up. He looked at the two young men kneeling on the ground. After a while of silence, he said, "Where's your father?"

Ye Chong, headed by   , knelt down and kowtowed: "Grandpa Hui, my father fell ill last year. At this time, he is sick in bed, so he can't come to kowtow to Grandpa San, so he can only ask his grand-nephew to wait..."

   They are the main line of Ningling's Ye family, so they were the ones who came to Ye family to kowtow to Ye Sheng before.

   Old man Ye was silent for a while, and finally sighed slowly.

   "All get up."

   "It's hard for you to run so far to see this old man,"
