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 boy is very sharp and he is a master who refuses to take any losses. I just mocked him a little bit, 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, who I have never met, is really a threat to my status.
." Ye Liancheng said with a faint smile.
"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 get in. Think about it, what is the identity of the old man? Who has such a privilege to share a car with him back home?
Home? What qualifications does he have for someone who came out of the wild?" He Cheng'an said.
"That's a problem, but please don't worry, cousin, if it's ours, it's ours after all, and no one can take it away. His abilities are pretty good. I've been paying attention to him for a long time, but when he first came to the Ye family, there were some things
, destined not to belong to him." Ye Liancheng stood up, put his hands behind his back, and said quite proudly.
"Has my cousin known his identity for a long time?" 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 small person who is both in charge and behind the scenes." He Chengan complimented.
"Let's go 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 clan 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 did not mind having many children and grandchildren, so for this person who appeared out of thin air.
She liked her grandson very much and took Ye Haoxuan's hand to greet him.
"Where's Liancheng? Why haven't you come over yet? You've already eaten." Old Mrs. Ye frowned.
"Old man, that kid usually likes to read. I think he must have overread it again, so I'm going to call him right now."
The young woman who spoke was Ye Liancheng's mother, Zhang Yu, and Ye Haoxuan's eldest 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. He apologized to everyone with a harmless smile.
"It's good to be here, let's eat." 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 nerd. 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.
"You're welcome, cousin." Ye Haoxuan smiled faintly, raised the glass of wine in his hand, and drank it down in one gulp.
"This is aunt, hello." Ye Liancheng walked towards 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 said proudly.
"Okay, let's eat. I'm sorry because I delayed everyone." Ye Liancheng said with a smile, 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 a luxury, but there were all kinds of delicacies from the mountains and the sea.
Ye Liancheng took a crayfish and put it in 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 Crossing River Dragon. It is usually difficult to catch.
, We are all a family now, cousin, please don’t be polite."
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 kid was calm even when 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 lot of skills.
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 do you say that?" Ye Liancheng smiled.
"The old man's ancestral home is Sichuan, and he doesn't like anything spicy when it comes to food. That's why the Chaotian pepper from Hunan is added to this shrimp. Moreover, the old man likes to eat medium rare, so the meat of this lobster is a bit raw." Ye Haoxuan said calmly.
He smiled and said, "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 I suddenly became interested when I saw this shrimp. How about I copy a picture of lobster with everyone?"
"Okay, 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.
While he was talking, someone had already brought him 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 off your shame."
"Yes, yes, Liancheng. 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 compliment, 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 faintly and said: "When it comes to consultation and medical treatment, I do my best and ask me to draw. My cousin really stumps me. So, I usually treat
I have some experience in calligraphy. There was no inscription on my cousin’s painting just now. How about I give you some inscriptions?”
"Well, then I'll see how good my cousin's calligraphy is." 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: "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 my paintings can't be called your calligraphy." Ye Liancheng said modestly, but his expression was anything but modest. He laughed, as if he had seen him.
This unique painting has calligraphy written on it that looks like ghostly drawings.
"Okay, I'll show my shame." Ye Haoxuan nodded, started writing, 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 charming, 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 applauded and said: "Good, good calligraphy, good spirit, haha, it has the charm of Taizu's calligraphy."
"Grandpa, thank you very much." Ye Haoxuan smiled, put down the pen in his hand, and when the ink was dry, he took it to Ye Liancheng and said, "Cousin, I've made a fool of myself."
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 has an ancient style and can definitely be written by a master-class person.
