Chapter 47 Kaifeng Ye Family

In Kaifeng, there is a family surnamed Ye, three generations living together, and one family as an official. His grandfather Ye Yuan was born in poverty and studied hard in the cold window for ten years. Finally, he was the top student in high school. He married the daughter of Lord Xu, a bachelor of Hanlin, and was in charge of extremely confidential documents directly issued by the emperor. Xu is virtuous and generous, and has two sons and one daughter with her husband Ye Yuan. The eldest son Ye Ming knew that he was a bachelor of Hanlin Academy. He was in the third grade, and his second son Ye Ming was good at martial arts and served as the head of the front division. The daughter was selected into the palace and was favored by the emperor. Ye Ming knew that he married a wife and a concubine, and each had a son. His wife's son's name was Ye Zilian, and his concubine's son's name was Ye Ziqi. Although Ye Mingxin married, he had no children under his knees. Zilian has been very smart since he was a child. He is not only familiar with the four books and five classics, but also familiar with piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, which is deeply loved by his father. Yu's mother fell ill when she was eight years old and died in less than a year. Ye Ming knew that he was eager to miss his wife and took care of his son a hundred times.

Although Ziqi and Zilian are the same father, their personalities are very different from Zilian. Not only is it difficult to study, but also familiar with some fox friends and dog friends since childhood. At the age of seven, he flirted with the girl beside his mother Pang. Pang was busy dressing up all day and tried his best to win her husband's heart. After knowing that his son Hu was wrong, he did not blame him. He said that it was human affairs and gave the girl directly to his son. Ye Ming was very annoyed when he learned about this. How did the seven-year-old child educate him so much that he taught Ziqi and reprimanded Pang. At the age of nine, because he only listened to Zilian and did not listen to his orders, he was resentful and ordered the family member to beat the subordinate into serious injury. Because he was a young master, he did not dare to resist and was beaten in vain. However, this man's brother was also serving in Yefu. Because his brother was innocently beaten and unwilling, he found an opportunity to tell the matter. Reported to Ye Mingzhi. Ye Ming knew that he was furious. After questioning, he knew that Pang had also concealed the truth. Ye Ming knew that he was going to drive Pang and Ziqi out of the house on the spot. Zilian beside him pleaded for Pang and his brother, and the two were saved from being driven out. But Pang and Ziqi not only did not appreciate it, but also hated Zilian. Pang originally wanted his mother to rely on his son. Unexpectedly, the master was just partial to this Zilian. In addition, the old lady and uncle also loved Zilian. The whole Ye family turned to Zilian's side and said, "It's really better than the prince of the East Palace!" Don't pay attention to us at all!" Therefore, Pang often wanted to take the opportunity to provoke, but as long as he mentioned it, the response was to be reprimanded, so he dared not say more.

Later Ye was far away from the world. Needless to say, even the emperor sent people to mourn. For a moment, the members of the court came to worship, which further confirmed the status of the Ye family in Kaifeng.

Although Ye Zilian read a lot of poetry and books, he did not go far and yearned for the world outside, so he said to his father several times that he wanted to travel for a few years and add some life experience. Ye Ming knew that he didn't agree with anything at the beginning, but Zilian was reluctant to give up and asked his grandmother and uncle to talk to him. Besides, Xu loved this eldest grandson the most. Although he was reluctant to leave his family, he felt that traveling would be of great help to Zilian's growth and could not withstand Zilian's daily begging, so he nodded and agreed. Uncle Ye Ming had no children and treated Zilian as his own son, but he was very worried about him going out alone, so he sent the most powerful martial arts person around him, named Yang Quan, who was well protected Zilian. Zi Lianyuan was very opposed and felt that it was enough to take only the little ones around him out. In addition, with the generals around him, it was inevitable that his actions would be restrained, and Yang Quan also knew that although his martial arts skills were high, he was not interesting at all, and his words and deeds were very serious. Zilian was afraid that he would disturb his interest. But helplessly, the uncle said categorically that if Zilian wanted to go out, he must take Yang Quan with him, otherwise he would never speak to his father for him. Zilian was helpless and agreed. In addition, he really didn't know how to work hard and had personal protection.

When Pang heard that Zilian took the initiative to go out for a trip, he was even more happy. He couldn't wait for the child to go out quickly and leave the family early. It would be better if he could encounter some accident outside and never come back. So, like the old lady and uncle, he advised Ye Mingzhi to agree to Zilian's request.

Ye Ming knew that he was a filial person and obeyed his mother Xu's words, coupled with the persuasion of Pang and his brother, and Yang Quan's protection, so he agreed. But the time was only given to Zilian three years, saying that she must return home three years later and honestly prepare for the big exam. At this time, Zilian was only 15 years old.

Anyway, his father agreed, and Zilian was very excited. A few days later, Zilian took the little man Ye Shi, usually known as the little stone, and Yang Quan, with enough entanglement, and the three embarked on the road of travel. In more than two years, Zilian traveled all over the famous mountains and rivers in the territory of the Song Dynasty, with a lot of harvest and emotion. Seeing that the three-year appointment was coming, Zilian still wanted to play again, but Yang Quan kept reminding him that it was time to go home. I had no choice but to embark on the return journey.

On this day, when I arrived at Yingtianfu in Nanjing, I heard the crying and mourning on the street. There were many people on both sides of the road, and Zilian and others also came over. A huge funeral team came into sight. The items used for the funeral were all good, and the coffins were made of good wood. It can be seen that the deceased were not rich or noble. Next to the coffin, a woman cried to death, but what shocked Zilian's heart was, how could this woman only cry but not tears?

At this time, I heard someone talking from the onlookers next to him and said, "You said that this Master Tian is also here. Isn't he getting psoriasis? Why is it gone?"

"Yes, a man and a woman left without leaving, and all this wealth fell into the hands of the young woman?"

"Where, doesn't Master Tian still have a younger brother? If your own brother has gone, how can you not come back for mourning?

"He was abruptly kicked out of the house by Master Tian at that time. How could he come back to mourn? Even if he comes back, he has already been removed from the genealogy. Where did he get his property?

When Zilian heard this, she was even more suspicious and inquired, "Who is this Master Tian?"

"You are from other places, aren't you? This Master Tian is a famous landlord in Tianfu. His name is Tian Qiqian. His family has a hundred good fields, as well as endless rice grains and in endless gold and silver! It can be said that he is rich!"

"Does he have a younger brother?"

"Yes, Tian Qikun's own brother, but a few years ago, they were kicked out of the house for trying to be rude to Tian Qiqian's newly married wife, and they have never come back since. I heard that he went to a neighboring county. This time, Master Tian passed away, and sent someone to inform him. It's just that he hasn't come yet. I don't think he can come.

"Brother said that his new wife is the crying person next to the coffin?"

"Yes, this woman is 20 years younger than Master Tian and can be his daughter. At that time, when Master Tian married her, it caused a sensation in the whole Yingtian Mansion! Although she is young, she is not a fuel-efficient lamp. Since she entered the door, she has the final say in the whole house. The uncle was kicked out of the house. Previously, Master Tian's son also accidentally drowned while playing in the garden. Now Master Tian has also gone inexplicably. I don't know if it's her behavior!"

"Oh, why don't you speak through your brain? This is a matter of human life. How can you guess here? In case the Tian family hears it, you will be framed. Even if you are not sentenced, you still don't want to live a good life for the rest of your life!"

When the people next to him said this, the person who spoke before was immediately silent. Zilian has seven or eight points in his heart. It can be seen that the Tian family is powerful in Yingtianfu, and no one dares to provoke him at all.

At this moment, I saw a man rushing through the crowd, stopping the funeral procession indignantly, and scolding, "You shameless woman! How dare you poison my brother!"
