Ye Liancheng said oh, then put away the Tao Te Ching in his hand, and asked with interest: What was the result?
Cousin, it’s just like what you said. That kid is very sharp and he is a master who refuses to take any losses. Just now I just mocked him a little, and he slapped me mercilessly.
He Chengan said a little annoyed.
Haha, being able to have sex with members of the Xue family openly without any identity background is certainly a bit of a trick. It seems that my cousin, whom I have never met, is really a threat to my status.
Ye Liancheng smiled lightly.
Cousin...then, what should we do? It can be seen that the old man likes him very much. He Chengan said with some worry.
Really? Where can you tell? Ye Liancheng asked.
When he came to Ye's house, he shared a car with the old man. He helped the old man enter. Think about it, what is the status of the old man? Who has such a privilege to ride home with him in a car?
?What qualifications does he have as a wild man? He Chengan said.
This is a problem, but please don't worry, cousin, if it is ours, it is ours after all, and no one can take it away. His ability is good, and I have been paying attention to him for a long time, but when he first came to the Ye family, there were some things.
It is destined not to belong to him. Ye Liancheng stood up, put his hands behind his back, and said rather arrogantly.
Did his cousin know his identity very early? He Chengan was surprised.
No, I only found out today, but I usually pay more attention to things in the capital. I have noticed him since he came to the capital to quarrel with the Tang family's daughter, but I didn't expect that he turned out to be my cousin.
Ye Liancheng smiled.
Haha, my cousin is really a person who does big things. I know that I am definitely not with the wrong person. When my cousin takes control of the Ye family and becomes the head of the family, I must not forget about my cousin, a little person who works both front and back. He Chengan complimented.
Let's go and meet our younger brother. Ye Liancheng put the book in his hand on the table and walked out first.
The family dinner officially begins.
In fact, the Ye family holds several family banquets every year, at which time all members of the family are called over for dinner. In the words of the old man, everyone is usually busy, but busyness leads to busyness, and family ties must not be alienated. Occasionally, when we get together, everyone
Keep in touch and connect with each other, this is how we become a family.
The old man was sitting at the main table, with Xue Xingguo and his wife sitting on one side. Ye Haoxuan's grandmother was named Shang Rong. She was over sixty this year and looked very energetic. The old man always has many children and grandchildren, so for this person to appear out of nowhere.
She liked her grandson very much and took Ye Haoxuan's hand to greet him.
Where is Liancheng? Why haven't you come over yet? He's already had dinner. Old Mrs. Ye frowned.
Old Master, that kid usually likes to read. I think he must have overread it again, so I will call him right away.
The young woman who spoke was Ye Liancheng's mother, Zhang Yu, and Ye Haoxuan's aunt. She stood up and said apologetically.
I'm here. I'm sorry. I was a little obsessed with reading just now. I'm really sorry.
At this moment, Ye Liancheng arrived belatedly. With a harmless smile, he apologized to everyone.
Just come and have a meal. Mr. Ye lowered his eyelids and said with some pun.
Ye Liancheng felt a shiver in his heart. Mr. Ye was a little dissatisfied with him, but thinking about it, hundreds of members of the Ye family were waiting for him alone. He was a little overconfident this time.
This is my cousin, hello, I'm Ye Liancheng. Sorry, I'm a bookworm. I usually like reading. I just got obsessed with it, so I couldn't greet my cousin. I'll punish myself with a drink.
Ye Liancheng held a glass of wine, walked up to Ye Haoxuan with a smile, and drank it all in one gulp.
The cousin was polite. Ye Haoxuan smiled faintly, raised the glass of wine in his hand, and drank it down in one gulp.
This is auntie, hello. Ye Liancheng went to Liu Yun again to say hello.
You are Liancheng, right? Haha, sister-in-law, I really envy you for having such a good son. Liu Yun smiled.
Haha, our Liancheng has been very sensible since he was a child. Zhang Yu on the side said proudly.
Okay, let's eat. I'm sorry because I delayed everyone. Ye Liancheng smiled and then sat down and everyone started eating.
The Ye family's family banquet was carefully prepared by top chefs. The old man always advocated frugality, so it was not considered a luxury, but there were all kinds of delicacies from the mountains and the sea.
Ye Liancheng put a crayfish into Ye Haoxuan's bowl and said: My cousin was born among the people, and his life must have been hard. Try the crayfish. This kind of crayfish is also called the river dragon, and it is usually difficult to catch.
We are all one family now, so don't be polite to my cousin.
Ye Haoxuan's heart trembled. Is this boy demonstrating to himself, a dragon crossing the river? What this boy means is that he is a fierce dragon crossing the river, but this is his Ye Liancheng's territory. If it is a dragon, you have to control it. If it is a tiger, you have to control it.
Just lie down.
And what he said was a double entendre, meaning that you are a poor kid and have never seen the world, so come and have a taste of lobster.
This guy was calm even when he was demonstrating. He was definitely not comparable to a second-rate guy like Xue Hongyun. It seemed that Ye Liancheng, who was known as the fourth generation leader of the Ye family, really had a few tricks up his sleeve.
Ye Haoxuan picked up the crayfish calmly, then carefully peeled off the shell and two huge shrimp claws to reveal the white shrimp meat inside, then dipped it in the sauce in front of him and put it into his mouth calmly.
Ye Haoxuan was calm and composed during the whole process of eating shrimps. He was also very skillful in peeling shrimps and did not show any displeasure. This made Ye Liancheng feel like he was punched in cotton.
After finishing eating, Ye Haoxuan smiled and said: The chef's skills are good, but the technique is a little bit poor, and the spiciness is too spicy, but I think this is to cater to the old lady's taste.
How to say? Ye Liancheng smiled.
The old man’s ancestral home is in Sichuan, and he doesn’t like anything spicy when it comes to food, so he added Chaotian pepper from Xiangdi to this shrimp. Moreover, the old man likes to eat medium rare, so the meat of this lobster is a bit raw. Ye Haoxuan smiled faintly.
But it tastes different this way.
The old man understood that this was a game between the fourth generation. He smiled calmly and said: Haha, you are right. Tell the chef to cook one portion using conventional techniques.
Ye Liancheng was slightly startled. He was wondering what the old man meant. Ye Haoxuan pointed out the shortcomings in the shrimps, and the old man asked for a plate of conventional shrimps. Could it be that the old man was supporting Ye Haoxuan? No, this is impossible.
Not long after, a steaming plate of shrimps was served. This time the chef tried his best to cook a plate of garlic crayfish. Moreover, the plate of crayfish was arranged in a very unique way, with a plate of shrimp heads facing towards the table.
Outside, the shrimp claws are raised high, which is quite majestic.
Ye Liancheng smiled and said: Haha, the chef's plate is quite creative. I usually like to copy, but when I saw this shrimp, I suddenly became interested. How about I copy a picture of lobster with everyone?
Well, the old lady usually likes your paintings, so why don’t you take one.
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Yu on the side quickly echoed, this mother and son are really pervasive.
As he was talking, someone was already holding pen, ink, paper and inkstone. Ye Liancheng was very good at pen and ink painting. He quickly started painting on the rice paper with a big stroke of his pen. In less than ten minutes, he had already copied a picture of a lobster playing in the water.
made.
He breathed a sigh of relief and was very satisfied with his work. He respectfully brought it to the old man and said: "Old man, you are showing your shame."
Yes, yes, that's right. Your painting skills have improved again. Haha, this painting of lobsters playing in the water is lifelike and full of charm. It is really rare. The old man was full of praise.
Hearing the old man's praise, Ye Liancheng was quite proud. He turned around and said with a smile: Cousin, I heard that you know Chinese medicine, and the ancient Chinese medicine culture is quite profound. Why don't you also take one?
Ye Haoxuan didn't know that he wanted to make a fool of himself. He smiled lightly and said: When it comes to consultation and medical treatment, I do my best and let me draw. My cousin really stumps me. So, I usually don't like calligraphy.
After some research, there was no inscription on my cousin’s painting just now. How about I give you some inscriptions?
That's good, then I'll see how my cousin's calligraphy is going. Ye Liancheng said with a smile.
He spread the painting on the table aside and made a gesture of invitation.
Ye Haoxuan stood up, picked up a brush from one side, filled it with ink, and then hesitated and said: "My cousin, this painting is so good. I'm afraid my poor calligraphy will ruin this good painting."
Haha, cousin, please stop being modest. I'm afraid that my paintings can't be called your calligraphy. Ye Liancheng said he was modest, but his expression was anything but modest. He laughed and said, as if he had already seen his painting.
There are several calligraphy written on the unique painting that looks like ghostly drawings.
Okay, I'll show off my shame. Ye Haoxuan nodded, picked up the pen and wrote the four characters "Fish Leap over the Dragon Gate" in one go.
Because Ye Haoxuan received the calligraphy inheritance from his ancestors, his calligraphy is absolutely unambiguous. His words are vigorous and full of charm, as if he has the feeling that the mountains and rivers are all in his heart.
The old man suddenly stood up and looked at the words written by Ye Haoxuan. After a long time, he clapped his hands and said: Good, good calligraphy, good spirit, haha, it has the charm of Taizu's calligraphy.
The great grandfather thanked him. Ye Haoxuan smiled and put down the pen in his hand. When the ink was dry, he got Ye Liancheng's cousin and showed off his shame.
Are these words just good? They are so good that they are incredible. Anyone who knows a little bit about calligraphy can see some charm in these flying and dancing words. These words seem to be made by nature, and yet
It is quite ancient and could definitely be written by a master-class person.
