Chapter 2 Yuanchen Continent
After several days of conditioning, Li Miaolan has woken up, but she is still very weak and carefully taken care of by several maids.
Ye Ziyan in Li Miaolan's arms was sleeping soundly. Ye Cheng stood beside their mother and daughter step by inch. In this way, the three of them were together and enjoyed the joy of family.
Tianling City belongs to Yuanyang City, and Yuanyang City also belongs to Yuanchen Mainland. Yuanyang City is the management center of Yuanchen mainland, with many large and small cities.
Tianling City is a land full of vitality, with beautiful scenery and beautiful scenery. It enjoys a great reputation in Yuanyang City. There are four distinct seasons in spring, summer, autumn and winter. Each season has a unique scenery, attracting a large number of business travelers.
The Yuanchen mainland is very vast, but the residents of the mainland only know that they live in the Yuanchen mainland. As for whether there are any other continents besides the Yuanchen mainland, it is really little known. Even the ruler of Yuanchen Continent is not clear, because the extreme places of Yuanchen Continent are extremely dangerous, and no one has ever dared to go deep.
To the north of Yuanyang City is Yuanbing City. As the name implies, Yuanbing City is relatively cold and is covered by ice and snow all year round. However, Yuanbing City is rich in resources. Many precious rare animals and plants only live in Yuanbing City, which provides a lot of income for Yuanbing City. Therefore, the population and richness of Yuanbing City are no less than that of Yuanyang City.
In the far north of Yuanbing City is the world of ice and snow, full of snowy mountains and glaciers, and there are a large number of very dangerous cold beasts.
I don't know how many years ago, a group of hunters strayed into this place because they were chasing a rare ice mink and met a cold beast. Only one of the more than 20 people escaped. It is rumored that as soon as the cold beast appeared at that time, it grabbed everyone, specializing in attacking the weak positions of the human body such as the throat and heart, and five or six people died in two or three times.
The man's brother knew that everyone could not escape death. In order to leave a lifeline for the family, he fiercely threw him away from where he was, and he picked up a life.
At that time, if this man hadn't gone out hunting with his brother, and his brother was a rare strong man in the clan for a hundred years. I'm afraid that he could not escape from the cold beast, and he would have become the belly lunch of the cold beast. Since then, no one has dared to step into this desolate place in the far north.
To the south of Yuanyang City is Yuanchun City. Yuanchun City is like spring all year round, which is also the origin of the name of the city. Yuanchun City has a mild climate and extremely rich plant and animal resources. It is the most populous and richest city in Yuanchen mainland. However, in order to balance the power of the cities, the rulers of Yuanchen mainland repeatedly considered establishing the management center in Yuanyang City, the center of the geographical location of Yuanchen mainland.
The far south of Yuanchun City is a very dense ancient forest, with old flowers and trees, but such a beautiful place is said to be inhabited by all kinds of extremely fierce strange birds and beasts.
It is said that a city owner of Yuanchun City wanted to build a place to play for his favorite concubine in the ancient forest in the far south because he liked plants and lived in a place full of trees.
According to rumors, the city owner sent more than 100 craftsmen to build the amusement palace. On that day, the craftsmen built a place to live and prepared to start the next day. As a result, all the craftsmen disappeared overnight and the bones were gone.
Several supervisors who arrived the next day saw a mess on the ground, leaving only the destroyed tools, and there was a faint trace of blood and debris on the ground. Several supervisors immediately exchanged eyes with each other, and their faces turned pale and fled in confusion. After returning to the city, they immediately reported the news to the owner of Yuanchun City at that time. From then on, this ancient forest became a forbidden place in Yuanchun City.
Seven days passed in a blink of an eye, and it was the day of Ye Ziyan's birthday banquet.
Many adults who are close friends with the Ye family came to Ye's house early. After giving gifts, they gathered in the guest hall of the Ye family and were greeted by well-trained servants.
At noon, all the invited people in Tianling City basically arrived at Yefu. Even several military officers who are usually at peace with the Ye family have arrived, including Jin Zhangsi Jinsheng, who has always regarded the Ye family as an enemy.
However, most of these people are jokes. In their minds, although Ye Cheng and Li Miaolan are beautiful and handsome men and women, unless they see them with their own eyes, they will not believe that the Ye family is really a stunning beauty as rumored!
When the invited adults or their cronies arrived, Ye Fu ordered people to lead them into the Ye family's appreciation hall. The Appreciation Hall is a place for Ye Jia to entertain distinguished guests and can accommodate more than 100 people. In the middle of the appreciation hall is an open space, which is usually arranged for dance or sword dance performances for guests to enjoy. The appreciation hall is surrounded by symmetrical and neat seats. After guests are seated, they can not only enjoy the performance, but also enjoy melon and fruit food at the same time.
A place similar to the appreciation hall of Yefu, every adult mansion in Tianling City will be set up. At Ye Tai's level, the mansion of Jinsheng, the largest leader, even has seven such buildings, and the utility is also more detailed.
The table in the appreciation hall is full of fruits, which are fresh and tender and very attractive. After the adults sat down in turn, Ye Fu greeted them with a little respect and called the water and moon flowers.
Shuiyuehua is the most famous dance team in Tianling City. Naturally, the price is not low. Only the adults and some rich businessmen in Tianling City can afford to invite them to perform.
The dancers of the water and moon flowers are as light as swallows, graceful and graceful, and the jade sleeves are dancing, like countless delicate flowers in full bloom, emitting an intoxicating fragrance. A song of fairy music in the world, a series of soft and charming shadows, attracted the hearts of the adults here.
Ye Fu calculated that it was almost time to eat, so he greeted people to deliver the food to the table in front of the adults.
Each dish is an eye-catching new pattern. The color matching makes people reluctant to move the chopsticks, but it is very appetizing. I can't help but praise it in my heart. These adults, who are used to brocade food, have a great appetite, and almost every dish is at the bottom of the plate.
Jin Sheng couldn't help muttering to himself that Ye Tai, an old man, was really willing to spend his money. Even if the guests of the Jin family came to have such a dinner, they still felt a pain, not to mention the Ye family.
There is an unwritten custom in Tianling City that babies born seven days old can be held out to meet guests at the birthday banquet.
Several adults wanted to witness the little granddaughter of the Ye family, but they were all pushed away by Ye Tai. However, Ye Tai even refused the invitation of the lord of Nanling City. He couldn't help frowning everyone here and felt that Ye Tai didn't know whether it was good or bad. How glorious it was to be invited by the Lord of Nanling City.
The city lords of Beiling City and Tianling City did not arrive in person, but arranged for a city envoy to come to the Ye family to attend Ye Ziyan's birthday banquet. Therefore, the lord of Nanling City is the greatest power at the birthday banquet. Ye Tai's refusal made the lord's face change a few times. It took him for a long time to suppress his anger and did not attack.
Seeing this scene, Jin Sheng's heart smiled. The Jin family is the home of generals and is quite powerful in Tianling City. Jin Sheng is arrogant and domineering, and he never pays attention to these literati.
At that time, Jin Sheng's second son Jin He and Ye Cheng fell in love with Li Miaolan, Li Li Hai's daughter, but Li Miaolan's heart was always on Ye Cheng and ignored Jin He. After that, Ye Cheng and Li Miaolan became a couple, and now they have a daughter, which makes the Jin family and his son grit their teeth at the Ye family.
Now that the Ye family has offended the lord of Nanling City, there will be no good fruit in the future, so he will have no worries about dealing with the Ye family in the future. Jin Sheng's eyes were shining, and he couldn't wait to turn his hands and turn the Ye family into ashes.
After the dinner, the adults got up and said goodbye. After sending off the guests, Ye Tai's father and son went to the study and chatted late before they went back to their rooms.
Happy days always pass quickly. In a blink of an eye, Ye Ziyan is more than two years old.
One day, after Ye Cheng came back from outside, he saw that Li Miaolan and Ye Ziyan were not playing in the garden, and he came to Lanxiang Pavilion suspiciously.
There were several maids guarding outside the door of Lanxiang Pavilion, and his face was ugly. Ye Cheng couldn't help but wonder, "What are you doing outside the Lanxiang Pavilion?"
"The young master, the maidservants saw that the young lady didn't get up for dinner at noon, so they came to have a look. As a result, the lady didn't let us enter the Lanxiang Pavilion, and we could only stay outside the pavilion." The reply was Li Hong, the housekeeping housekeeper of Ye Mansion, who was Li Miaolan's dowry maid.
When Ye Cheng heard this, he thought that it was Yan'er's girl who didn't know what he was doing, so he creptly pushed the door open.
But she saw Ye Ziyan kneeling by the bed and didn't know what she was doing. Ye Cheng took a few big steps to the bed and saw Li Miaolan's eyes closed, as if she didn't mean to wake up.
And tears flashed in Ye Ziyan's eyes, and her little hand kept pulling Li Miaolan's wrist, "Mother, get up, mother, mother!"
Lan'er never sleeps like this. Is she sick? Ye Cheng thought in his heart, so he stretched out his right hand, touched his forehead, and then touched Li Miaolan's forehead.
In an instant, Ye Cheng's face turned gray, and he hurriedly touched Li Miaolan's cheek with his hand. The coldness touched by his fingertips made Ye Chengruan collapse in front of Li Miaolan's bed, and his face was dead.
"Ah, ah, Lan'er, ah! Ah! Ah! ..." Hearing Ye Cheng's heartbreaking cry, Li Hong immediately realized that something had happened and rushed into Lanxiang Pavilion, and the rest of the maids followed.
In addition to the tears that kept slipping on Ye Cheng's face, it can also prove that he is a living person. Ye Cheng, who was alive a moment ago, seemed to become a living dead person in an instant, with a gray face and no vitality.
"Mother... Dad... Mother... Dad..." Ye Ziyan was scared by this sudden change and cried loudly.
Li Hong wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and got up to comfort Ye Ziyan in her arms. Then he sent a maid to report to Ye Tai. Li Hong and the rest of them knelt neatly in front of Li Miaolan's bed.
Li Miaolan treats her servants very well, especially the maids in Yefu, who treat them like sisters. Even if the maids do something wrong, they will not be corporal punishment. Even when the maids are in trouble at home, they will help one or two. With Li Miaolan's kindness, they have already cried.
After a while, Ye Fu came to Lanxiang Pavilion with Ye Tai. When he saw Ye Cheng and Ye Ziyan's sad appearance, he couldn't help bursting into tears. Ye Cheng's mother died of illness when Ye Cheng was seven or eight years old, and he could deeply feel the pain of losing his wife.
