Chapter 221 The birthday banquet begins (thanks to book friend Mo Shaobao
At three o'clock in the morning, Cui Family, Chunfu Hall
"Qicheng Yang Family, Lord Yang Feng is here!"
"Yao Bei Wang Family, Mr. Wang Zerui has arrived!"
"Master Fang Tong has arrived at the Fang Family in Qitaihe!"
············
············
Among the three clans in Liaoyang, the connections of the Gongsun family are mostly concentrated in the military, and they respond to every call in the army. The Yun family started out as merchants, with a huge family fortune and a full treasury. Although they are among the three clans, their power is relatively small.
It is the smallest of the three valves.
As for the Cui family, which is recognized as the number one family, although it is not as good as the Gongsun family in the military and not as good as the Yun family in business, in terms of the comprehensive strength of the military, politics, and business, it is definitely the number one!
Today's birthday banquet undoubtedly demonstrated the strong strength of the Cui family. As the auditorium, the Chunfu Hall was full of guests and was full of people. It was basically a well-known family and officials in Liaoyang.
, all came to congratulate them. Even if they could not come in person, they sent envoys to congratulate them on their behalf...
Although the Cui family's Chunfu Hall occupies a large area, covering more than ten acres, there are so many people that it can't handle it, and the number of people who can enter is extremely limited.
Fortunately, the Cui family also set up a banquet outside Chunfu Hall. People who are not qualified to enter Chunfu Hall can still have a glass of water and wine outside and feel the joy of the longevity star!
Looking at the familiar Chunfutang in front of her, although she had already been mentally prepared, the scenes from that year couldn't help but flooded her heart, making Ye Cui's face once again have complicated emotions!
"Mom, let's go in!"
"Don't worry, today is different from the past. My son is here for everything!" Ye Mingsheng, standing aside, said with a smile:
Hearing Ye Mingsheng's words made Ye Cui wake up from the memories of that year. Looking at Ye Mingsheng with a confident smile, she took a deep breath and looked at Chunfutang, and she became firm.
"Okay! I, Cui Yun, am back!"
"General Ye Mingsheng of the Zhenwu Army Huwei, and his mother Ye Cui have arrived!"
When the butler's singing voice sounded, the noisy chatter in the Chunfu Hall became much quieter for an instant. The noble sons of the aristocratic families who were talking loudly and communicating with each other, intentionally or unintentionally, swept past Ye Mingsheng who walked into the Chunfu Hall.
, on the two of Ye Cui!
These eyes include scrutiny, envy, jealousy, contempt and disdain...
But more people plan to watch the show and eat it!
Ye Mingsheng, who has only returned to his hometown for two months, is not well-known in Liaoyang, but who among the people sitting in the Chunfu Hall of Cuijia is not a well-informed person? A person with great supernatural powers?
Ye Mingsheng's resume and deeds have long been dug up by them. Everyone knows that General Huwei, who represents the Zhenwu Army and the imperial court, is a noble son from a poor family, and has various connections with the Cui family.
"Is this Ye Mingsheng, who doesn't have three heads and six arms? Why did the imperial court blindly let him, a boy from a poor family, become a fifth-rank general?"
"Ye Mingsheng has already become a fifth-grade general at a young age. He has a bright and unlimited future. I heard that he has not married yet..."
"Let me tell you, don't look at Ye Mingsheng's young appearance, but his methods are extremely vicious!" In the crowd, a middle-aged man who kept playing with the walnuts said mysteriously:
"Oh? What do you think of Mr. Li's words?" As soon as the middle-aged man finished speaking, someone he knew immediately started talking to him.
"Hehehehe, Ye Mingsheng was recruiting troops for the Zhenwu Army in his hometown of Fengshan County. The general of the Governor's Office, Xing Dalin, took the initiative to ask for orders to deal with Ye Mingsheng in order to claim credit from our Lord Governor."
"But it's not that I didn't expect that Ye Mingsheng had been prepared for it. Xing Dalin was trying to steal the chicken but failed and lost the rice. Not only was Ye Mingsheng easily able to break the secret trick, he was also severely retaliated by Ye Mingsheng and killed his family.
Dozens of people burned down their fields and properties..."
"hiss··········"
When the people around him heard this, they all took a breath in unison, and looked at Ye Mingsheng with a look of fear in their eyes.
"Ye Mingsheng is not afraid of angering the governor by doing this?" Someone next to him interjected:
"Hey, this Ye Mingsheng is really a character. It's true that the Governor sent people to investigate, but the people who investigated couldn't find anything and were reprimanded by the Governor."
Li Dongjia said with a proud face, as if he was the one who did this.
"I also heard that the Governor has sent people to deliver congratulatory gifts to the ancestors of the Cui family today. It will be a big show then..."
The eyes of everyone around him were brightened and they began to look forward to it.
Ye Mingsheng, who was unaware of everyone's whispers, accompanied Ye Cui into the inner hall under the guidance of the Cui family's housekeeper.
At this time, a trembling old woman dressed in festive clothes, leaning on a cane, was sitting at the top like the stars of the Cui family holding the moon.
Seeing this old woman, Mrs. Ye Cui could no longer suppress the emotions in her heart. Tears welled up in her eyes. She knelt down in front of the old woman and said in tears:
"Ancestor, Cui Yun is back!"
Looking at the crying Ye Cui, the ancestor of the Cui family was stunned for a moment, and then he came to his senses. He looked at Ye Cui and said with some uncertainty:
"Are you Xiaoyun?"
Mrs. Ye Cui wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and nodded heavily,
Seeing this, the old ancestor no longer had any doubts, and he also said with tears:
Xiaoyun, where have you been married for so many years? Why don't you come and see me?"
"Xiaoyun is unfilial and makes our ancestors worried..."
For a time, the two generations were reduced to tears. The scene was touching, and those who heard it were in tears...
Ye Mingsheng also took this opportunity to pay a visit to this old man, who was his great-grandmother in terms of seniority. He kowtowed to the old man several times and said a few auspicious words.
After seeing the ceremony, Ye Mingsheng walked out of the inner hall, leaving the scene to Mrs. Ye Cui and this ancestor whom she hadn't seen for decades. As far as he knew, Mrs. Ye Cui was ranked among the legitimate daughters of the Cui family.
The youngest one, and the one most loved by our ancestors.
But because of what happened back then, they haven't seen each other again for more than 20 years. There must be a lot to say between the two...
It just so happens that everyone hasn't arrived yet, and the birthday banquet hasn't officially started yet, so we can still take a rest.
Although Ye Mingsheng intended to recharge his batteries temporarily and wait for a moment of open and covert combat, unfortunately, others did not intend this, and a sarcastic voice appeared next to his ears.
Chapter completed!
