Five hundred and sixtieth chapters openly snatching marriage
Yanjing, Tian family.
Ye Shaolong stood in front of this house, looking at this not old building, and felt that it was very appropriate for the occasion.
In this alley, there live various characters whose stamp of feet can make the floor of Yanjing tremble, and most of the houses are quaint and have a historical atmosphere.
The house in front of me looks much newer, and it also looks a little out of place with its surroundings.
Correspondingly, the Tian family's gradual rise in the political arena, as a new star, naturally attracted the attention of many people.
The blind date that the old man introduced to him was the daughter of the Tian family boss.
The overall situation of the Tian family is shouldered by Tian Xin, the boss of the Tian family, and because Tian Xin received a great favor from the old man back then, even though the Tian family never stated which lineage they were from, they never got along with people from that lineage.
People who are too close, but have a few eyes, generally assume that they are from the Chen family by default, and this has also been acquiesced by Tian Xin.
However, despite this, there are people within the Chen family who are scrambling to get married to Tian Xin's daughter Tian Xiner.
No matter what their surname is, no direct relative of the same surname is in charge within each faction, and it is even more impossible for the Chen family, which has a small population, to do so.
Mr. Chen was a strong supporter of family planning back then, and it was because of this basic national policy that he achieved his current status. However, it was also because of this that he had to resolutely implement the principle of late marriage, late childbearing, fewer children and eugenics.
Mr. Chen only has one son, Ye Shaolong’s biological father Chen Hetu.
In ancient parlance, the Chen family is now an era in which foreign relatives are in power. Among them, Ye Hetu's famous wife, Mr. Chen's son-in-law, and Mr. Chen's godson form a three-legged situation.
There are many young talents in these three families alone. Mr. Chen's godson is not too old yet, but the pillars of the other two families are already at the peak of their age. The possibility of making further progress in four years is very slim. It would be good if he can maintain his age.
.
There are some young people in the younger generation, so consolidating or even strengthening their status within the Chen family through marriage with the Tian family is the most realistic option. After all, Tian Xin has a great chance of making further progress in four years.
Of course, in addition to these three families, other foreign surnames within the Chen family also want to use the Tian family to improve their status at the back of the Chen family.
However, many of these people have already been singled out by Tian Xiner.
Yan Qingwu thought that the blind date was an excuse for Ye Shaolong to return to Yanjing, but it was not the case. In fact, Ye Shaolong was a drunkard who did not care about drinking, and the blind date was not about drinking.
Since we all belong to the Chen family, previous blind dates still required the parents of both parties to meet again to encourage the matchmaking.
No matter who Tian Xiner prefers in the end, in the final analysis, it is a matter of keeping the money from others. As for whether the interests can be maximized, no one can say for sure in the future, so neither Mr. Chen nor Tian Xin can rule over Tian Xiner.
You can only choose someone or choose one of them.
"Who are you?" At this time, a man who looked like a middle-aged butler walked out and asked slightly dissatisfiedly when he saw Ye Shaolong stopping in front of the door.
Although Ye Shaolong was not familiar with the place, the people who could walk out of this house were not ordinary people. He replied in a polite manner, neither humble nor arrogant, but politely: "Excuse me, I am Ye Shaolong. Is Aunt Tian at home?"
The Tian family has three sons, all of whom are married, but only Tian Xin and his wife live in Yanjing and live in this house all year round, so when he heard Ye Shaolong talking about Aunt Tian, Li Tian knew of course that he was referring to Zhang Jing.
"Ye Shaolong?" Li Tian felt that the name was familiar but could not remember it. It seemed that no one in the Chen Department had the surname Ye!
However, as the chief steward of the Tian family, Li Tian was naturally familiar with Tian Xiner's blind date, and he reacted after just a brief thought.
"You are Mr. Chen's little grandson!" Li Tian laughed loudly, thinking that he was indeed Mr. Chen's direct descendant, and his initiative was worthy of praise.
Hearing Li Tian's rare hearty laughter, a graceful beauty walked out of the house and shouted to Li Tian: "Uncle Li, what are you laughing at?"
Li Tian turned around, stepped aside so that Tian Xiner could see Ye Shaolong's appearance clearly, and said with a smile: "Girl, Mr. Chen's Mr. Longsun is here to play with you!"
In Li Tian's view, Ye Shaolong's talk of looking for Zhang Jing was just an excuse, while looking for Tian Xiner was the real business!
Tian Xiner opened her mouth to ask, but when she saw the look on Li Tian's face, she suddenly understood. She couldn't help but be slightly stunned. Logically speaking, the two of them would not start contacting until their parents met tonight.
"What's so fun? I'm not a kid anymore. Let's talk about it tonight!" Tian Xiner didn't like Ye Shaolong's attentiveness at all. After saying that, she turned around and walked back to the house.
"Hey, girl..."
Li Tian couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, but when he turned around and waited for him to say something to Ye Shaolong, Ye Shaolong spoke first.
"Uncle Li." Ye Shaolong didn't know Li Tian, so he could only call after Tian Xiner and said, "Actually, I'm here to find Aunt Tian. Please lead the way."
The little embarrassment on Li Tian's face immediately disappeared, and was replaced by a face full of doubts. Could this kid find a way for himself to get off?
Tian Xiner's temperament is known to almost everyone within the Chen family. She is as stubborn as if she were the apple of Chen's eye, but in fact it is not that far off. She is the best among her peers in every aspect.
Also puzzled was Tian Xiner. She stopped and turned around to look at Ye Shaolong for the first time.
"Uncle Li, isn't Aunt Tian at home? I'll come back next time!" Ye Shaolong could guess some of it, but had to repeat it to dispel Li Tian's suspicion.
When Li Tian heard that Ye Shaolong insisted on seeing Zhang Jing, he was slightly surprised. There was a strange color in his eyes. He couldn't tell whether it was appreciation or something else.
After a moment, he nodded and said, "Here, I'll take you in!"
Tomorrow is the New Year, and Zhang Jing is on vacation at home, while Tian Xin still can't get away and won't be able to get back until dinner.
Since Tian Xiner can be regarded as the apple of his eye, of course she will not only be a pretty vase. In her heart, as Li Tian had guessed before, Ye Shaolong was just trying to find a place for himself. Who among the children of the aristocratic family is so thin-skinned?
.
But when Ye Shaolong walked straight past her without looking at her, Tian Xiner suddenly felt that things were not what she thought.
Tian Xin'er couldn't help but feel disgusted with the frivolous looks that those Chen descendants looked at her, but seeing Ye Shaolong not taking her seriously made her feel very uncomfortable.
When Li Tian told her that Ye Shaolong wanted to see her, Zhang Jing was also very surprised, but out of politeness she still chatted with Ye Shaolong for a long time.
When Ye Shaolong and Zhang Jing walked out of the room chatting and laughing, Tian Xiner had already vaguely figured out something. Ye Shaolong just wanted to play the family card, trying to win his mother over to his side.
Until Ye Shaolong left, he didn't even look at her again, which made Tian Xin'er even more sure that he was just playing hard to get.
Although he seemed to be smarter than other boys, his scheming was more difficult to figure out. Tian Xiner, who was born into an official family, did not like this kind of man, let alone live with this kind of man for the rest of his life.
"Mom, you said that I have the final say in my own affairs." Seeing that Zhang Jing was about to say something, Tian Xiner interrupted her first.
Zhang Jing touched Tian Xiner's head and said slowly: "I won't force you, but I still have to say, this Ye Shaolong is good, the Chen family should have a grandson!"
Tian Xiner was slightly stunned. Of course she knew her mother's temperament very well.
He seems to be gentle but has a higher vision than his father who is strict on the surface. At least half of what he is today is due to his mother's suggestions behind the scenes, and the other half is due to her silent support behind the scenes.
Her mother never evaluates a person easily, so Tian Xiner knows the weight of the word "not bad" from her mouth.
Evening, Chen family.
"Master, I heard that Shaolong went to see that girl Xiner."
Chen Ping was practicing calligraphy at this time. He finished writing the last stroke. After looking at it for a while, he put down the pen with satisfaction and then pointed at Chen Zhong, the chief steward of the Chen family, and said: "You, you! You only report good things and not bad things!"
What I heard was that he was going to see Girl Jing!"
Chen Zhong didn't feel embarrassed when he was exposed, and said with a smile: "They are all the same! And the evaluation given by the Tian family's wife is not low!"
"Oh?" Chen Ping raised his eyebrows, raised his head and asked with a smile: "Is that kid back?"
After finishing speaking, he shook his head again, raised his hands to prevent Chen Zhong from speaking, and said, "No need to say anything, I understand."
Seeing the old man sigh, Chen Zhong felt uncomfortable in his heart, so he could only divert the old man's attention, and then said: "But the Xu family and the Zhang family are here to join in the fun tonight!"
"Oh?" Chen Ping was slightly surprised. The Chen family did not have the habit of gathering together for New Year's Eve dinner. They all went to each house to have their own meals, let alone New Year's Eve dinner.
Although Ye Shaolong refused to come early to see him as an old man, it was thanks to Ye Shaolong that Chen Xi had this opportunity to get together. Chen Ping didn't know whether to sigh or be happy for a moment.
Ye Shaolong didn't arrive at the right time until the moment before the banquet started. He apologized innocuously to everyone in the room, calling him uncle, and then sat down on the only empty seat.
Chen Ping could see that he had no intention of getting to know or even come into contact with the elder brothers and sisters of the Chen family. He sighed inwardly and had no choice but to announce the opening of the banquet.
Before taking up his chopsticks, Chen Ping introduced Ye Shaolong to Tian Xin, and Ye Shaolong respectfully called Uncle Tian and raised his glass in respect.
Before Tian Xin came, he heard his wife talk about the previous events, and his impression of Ye Shaolong was neither good nor bad, but he didn't mind Ye Shaolong's late arrival.
The meal was a bit dull. Tian Xin and his wife only asked some basic information about Ye Shaolong, but Ye Shaolong did not take the initiative to ask about Tian Xiner's situation.
But what surprised Ye Shaolong was that Tian Xiner had a good liquor capacity.
After the glasses were exchanged, it was Ye Shaolong who had to do the job of pouring the wine even if he didn't want to, otherwise the play would not be able to continue.
When he poured it into Tian Xiner, the bottle was gone. Ye Shaolong smiled and said to her, "Sorry, it's gone. There's another bottle down there. How about you bring it up for me and I'll open it and pour it for you."
Everyone had different expressions when they heard Ye Shaolong's words, some were surprised and some were confused...
Tian Xin was stunned for a moment and then nodded slightly, obviously not disgusted with Ye Shaolong's words.
There is indeed a bottle of wine below, which is about the same distance from Tian Xiner and Ye Shaolong, but it should have been an opportunity for others to take the initiative to show their courtesy, but Ye Shaolong didn't take it seriously.
At this time, those who are interested find an opportunity and naturally want to take advantage of it.
"Grandpa Chen, if he doesn't know how to cherish it, then I won't be polite!"
