Chapter 753: Happy Birthday

If it wasn't for Tang Shuyan's order, Xiaocui wouldn't have come here at all. Although she understood Tang Shuyan's temper and knew that she was kind and kind, but as a maid who had been with her for decades, she certainly didn't want An Si's appearance to disturb Tang Shuyan's originally peaceful life.

An Si was not grateful, she knew who Xiaocui was referring to as the second lady, so she didn't take what Xiaocui did at all, and she didn't have any gratitude. What's more, from her point of view, even if Xiaocui didn't come, these two Ye family disciples wouldn't even try to block her way.

Just now Xiao Cui looked at Ye Qian's eyes, An Si clearly caught it, when An Si left, An Si turned to look at Ye Qian, and said: "You remember, that woman is our biggest enemy, if you have a chance If so, you must kill her for me." After speaking, she walked straight to the front hall.

The two guarding disciples of the Ye family didn't dare to be negligent, and hurriedly informed Ye Zhenyang. Fulfilling their duties, this is the rule they must abide by, although it is the second wife's order to let Ye Qian and others go, but they are caught in the middle and naturally want to cover everything. With the second lady's order, it may not be a problem to let go, but if Ye Zhenyang is not notified, it will be a problem.

After answering Ye Zhenyang's phone call, the two Ye family disciples who were in charge of guarding said: "Housekeeper, they have gone to the front hall."

"What? Didn't I tell you to keep an eye on them? Why did you let them come?" Ye Zhenyang said slightly sullenly.

"Housekeeper, this is the second lady's order, we dare not disobey it." said the disciple of the guarding Ye family.

Slightly stunned, Ye Zhenyang said: "Forget it, since they have already come, it is useless for you to stay there. You have worked hard all night, you should also go to rest. This afternoon is the martial arts competition, you should rest well Come and take a look, it will help 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 others coming here. Slightly stunned for a moment, Ye Zhengxiong sighed and said, "Since we've already arrived, it's too late to stop us. The birthday banquet is about to begin, and people from all sects, sects, and families in the rivers and lakes are rushing over one after another. , You can’t let them see the joke. You go to the front and do something, and warn that woman, if she dares to play tricks, my Ye family will definitely make her life worse than death.”

Slightly nodding his head, Ye Zhenyang walked out. An Si chose to come at this time, obviously for a purpose, the matter has developed to this point, the only thing she can do is to warn An Si not to play tricks. However, Ye Zhenyang did not expect that the second lady would come forward to help them. However, considering how the second lady is, this is also a reasonable thing. Sighing slightly, Ye Zhenyang quickly walked outside.

The birthday ceremony was held in the front hall, after the descendants of the Ye family and the representatives of various sects and families in the rivers and lakes paid birthday wishes, they went to the restaurant to hold a birthday banquet together. The Ye family's status in the Jianghu is very high, especially when Ye Zhengran swept the Jianghu and defeated many masters of the sect, the status of the Ye family increased day by day. Especially the battle more than 20 years ago has become a myth in the world. Although Ye Zhengran was no longer there, his majesty still made the families of various sects feel lingering fear.

Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, but the rivers and lakes of ancient warriors are different from ordinary rivers and lakes. However, the same thing is also the law of the jungle. This is an unchanging law in this world. The weak should be eliminated, and those who cannot adapt to society should be eliminated. Perhaps this is the so-called natural selection.

The front hall has already been well-arranged, with a grand teacher's chair in the center and a big longevity character hanging on the back. The character "Shou" is made of gold paint, which is extraordinarily shiny. There is a coffee table and chairs underneath, which are for the representatives of the various sects in the Jianghu who came to pay their respects.

Don't underestimate this ranking move, but it is quite troublesome. The most important thing for these ancient warriors is face, the face of their sect in the arena. Therefore, the order of seats is also determined according to the status of the major sect families in the arena. Just the arrangement of the seats alone caused Ye Zhengxiong to worry all night. This seemingly simple thing cannot be neglected in the slightest. The friendly relations that have been built so hard will be shattered.

The old man Ye Fengmao is very happy today, his 80th birthday, people can live to this age, seeing five generations live together, that should be enough. Originally, the old man Ye Fengmao didn't want to hold such a large-scale birthday banquet. He just wanted to get together with his family. After all, the descendants of the Ye family are busy all over the place, fighting for the family. It is rare to have the opportunity to meet. This opportunity to narrate family happiness is naturally the best. However, Ye Zhengxiong said that he wanted to take this opportunity to repair the relationship with other sects and families in Jianghu, which would be very beneficial to the future development of the Ye family. After all, a hero with three gangs, 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 arena.

The rivers and lakes are like a big frying pan, once you roll around, you will 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 on to the eldest son Ye Zhengxiong, living a life like a hermit. Over the years, he has almost turned a blind eye to the affairs of the Jianghu, and even rarely interfered with the affairs of the Ye family. However, just asking doesn't mean they don't know. Seeing that Ye Zhengxiong's development of the Ye family is still stable, the old man can be regarded as comforting. Maybe it's because he's getting old, even the ambitions of the past are gone, he no longer expects the Ye family to continue to climb the peak, he just hopes to live in peace and stability, and enjoy the family happiness. However, the disciples of the Ye family are all working hard outside, fighting outside, with unquenchable passion and blood, which is of course what he wants to see. He can't hope that the Ye family's disciples are all prodigal sons, can he?

Although he is already eighty years old, the old man is still in good health and full of energy. The brilliance in his eyes shows his extraordinary life. People from the various sects and families who came to pay their respects have already come 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 unhappiness. People from the major families and sects also greeted each other one after another, and their attitudes seemed very friendly. In fact, these are just like those large gatherings in the upper class. Most people wear masks to behave themselves. Just because he smiles at you does not mean that he really wants to get along with you. The human heart is the most elusive thing.

This time the various sects came to pay their respects, it was just one of the purposes, and more importantly, they wanted to see the skills of the younger generation of the Ye family and see if there were any outstanding talents, so as to determine their future treatment of the Ye family. What's the attitude. A family is like a dynasty in the past. If it needs to continue the myth and continue to develop and stabilize, it needs good successors from generation to generation.

And Ye Zhengxiong was also out of the same consideration, he just wanted to let these people in the Jianghu see the performance of the Ye family's juniors, so that they would be afraid of the Ye family, so they didn't dare to offend the Ye family easily, and continued to maintain the Ye family's detachment The place. It's just that they have ghosts, but on the surface they are all smiling.

When the old man came in from the door, birthday worshipers from various schools and families stood up one after another, saying some hypocritical words of congratulations. The old man also clasped his fists in return one by one, and smiled with a happy smile on his face. Walking to the central chair and sitting down, the old man waved his hand and said: "Fengmao has no virtue and incompetence, I am really ashamed to be honored by the families of various sects to come to pay respects to the old man today, the old man is here to thank you Yes. There are food and drinks in the back hall, and I would like to invite you to have a few drinks later."

There was a noisy sound below, and everyone was talking about some scenes.

"My son Ye Zhengxiong (Ye Zhengfeng) pays homage to the old man's birthday, wishing the old man a blessing like the East China Sea and longevity in Nanshan." The two middle-aged men walked to the opposite side of the old man and knelt down and worshiped. It was the old man's eldest son Ye Zhengxiong and the third son Ye Zhengfeng of the current Ye family.

"Okay, okay, okay." The old man said with a chuckle, "Get up, get up. Come on, one red envelope per person, good luck." Although the old man's smile seemed to be very happy, there was unavoidably a little something between his brows. Sadness, if Ye Zhengran was still there, it would be great.

Ye Zhengxiong saw the old man's thoughts, and said softly from the side, "Dad, today is your eightieth birthday, you should think about something happy."

"Yes, yes." The old man nodded repeatedly, suppressing the longing in his heart.

"Daughters-in-law pay homage to the old man, and wish the old man a blessing like the long flowing water in the East Sea, and a life that is not as old as Nanshan." Three middle-aged women knelt down in front of the old man and bowed.

The old man chuckled and said, "Everyone get up, everyone get up." Then there was another red envelope for each person. Then he glanced at Tang Shuyan, nodded slightly, and said, "I thought you wouldn't come today, but now that you're here, Dad is very happy."

"Why don't I come? Today is the old man's 80th birthday. My daughter-in-law didn't prepare any big gifts. I hope the old man will accept it with a little thought." Tang Shuyan took the birthday gift she had prepared earlier from Xiaocui's hands while talking, and handed In front of the old man, he said.

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

Then came the grandchildren and great-grandchildren of the Ye family who paid birthday greetings. They are all in high spirits today, because they all know that after the birthday banquet, there will be a martial arts competition. Whether they can win the favor of the old man depends on This time. Although the old man no longer interferes with the affairs of the Ye family, his authority in the Ye family is solid. Whoever can be favored by him will have a bright future.
