brotherly innocence

Ye Rong straightened his back and dusted off his shirt, and was about to move away sideways.But he heard the boy next to him laugh twice without fear: "Get back, get back, what's the matter with you." The boy smiled and waved his hands, raised his head from the collar of his long shirt, looked at Ye Rong with a smile and asked: "What are you doing?" Yes, second boy?"

Ye Rong was astonished like a thunderbolt hitting the top of his head, his face changed drastically, thinking that this person's tone was calm, what kind of guest should he be?Could it be that he was careless and admitted the wrong person?But calmly glanced at him and said slowly: "It doesn't matter who I am. You brought the person? Well, that's because the flood flooded the Dragon King Temple, and my brother offended you. Hurry up and guard the mansion, and no one else can enter. Tomorrow noon, the Qin family has a child-washing banquet, and something went wrong and I will ask you to ask."

After Ye Rong finished speaking, he lifted his feet and left, but the man grabbed his collar, "Hey, the good guy stays."

Ye Rong was annoyed in his heart, this guy is so rude, isn't he the leader of the soldiers?There are only twenty or thirty soldiers outside, and they are so majestic.He clasped his wrist backhand to get rid of his entanglement, the man was also very skilled, his wrist was entangled with him like a spirit snake, pushing around.Ye Rong stepped vigilantly, wrapped his arm around his arm, and punched him on the cheek, more swiftly and accurately than when he hit Ye Pei just now.

"Ouch!" The boy roared, as if his fist had hit his cheek, but he nimbly turned his head away slightly.Ye Rong punched nothing, but his heart was startled but his feet were not disturbed. He borrowed his elbow and a flood dragon swung its tail and bumped into his head, but it was a false move.As soon as the man dodged, Ye Rong kicked with a leopard-tailed foot, the man yelled "No" and then dodged, Ye Rong spun his body, his legs flew up, and kicked the man's thigh.

"Ouch..." the man said exaggeratedly, bending over and hugging his legs, Ye Rong dodged his body and jumped out to curse: "People don't fight with officials, I let you do it."

Turn around and run.

"Rong'er, don't run away, it's your second uncle, my family." With a call, Ye Rong's feet were like Monkey King blowing out hairs and shouted "Ding", and remained motionless.Cold sweat poured down from his heart, secretly scolding these ungrateful army ruffians, why not entangle him, but why come here to entangle him, what a good opportunity he missed.No, Second Uncle?What second uncle?

When Ye Rong turned around slowly, he saw the man in the long gown lifted his skirt and kowtowed respectfully, "Brother is here, younger brother has been away from home for a few years, come back today to greet elder brother."

Qin Zhuangdong? {Fe1}{fA?}

Ye Rong was stunned, he had heard of Qin Zhuangdong's name long ago, the warlord of the Lake faction was ruthless and murderous without blinking an eye.A few years ago, when the lakes and the Yue were fighting for territory, Qin Zhuangdong of the Lake Department fought steadily and fiercely against the Yue Department, which would revive the already precarious Lake Department.

During the Central Plains War last year, many warlords flocked to Xijing Prime Minister He Wenhou and supported Ma Baofu to replace him. However, Qin Zhuangdong was still persuaded by Hu Ziqing to support Lao He and ushered in political capital.Ye Rong was in the Jianghu, but he was well aware of the political situation affecting his Qingdaotang business.

At that time, he and his elder brother Jiang Tao were also emotional. It seems that the most important thing is to have a brain and not stand on the wrong team.

The reason why Qin Alang is so rampant in doing whatever he wants in the Jianghu, selling cigarettes, opening gambling houses, and traffickers doing all kinds of evil, is also because of the influence of his brothers.

"Hey, big brother, this is the second boy? It's exactly the same as what you said in the telegram. I recognized him when I looked at him from a distance. He looks so much like the son of my Qin family." Qin Zhuangdong praised him with his hands behind his back He looked at him with a funny smile in his eyes, and said to him: "Here, your father's second uncle has already kowtowed, why don't you kowtow obediently and see your second uncle?"

Ye Rong stood there motionless, Qin Zhuangdong sternly said: "If you don't kowtow, Second Uncle will settle the old and new debts together and beat your ass hard."

"Hey, second child, forget it, go back to the building, and your uncles and nephews will have a good time. Mom has been waiting for you inside for a day, and the boat is always talking about when you will come back." Boss Qin glanced at Ye Rong as he said, He just smiled and blamed, "Why did you start fighting with your second uncle? Is it itchy hands or buttocks today? I hit your elder brother and then my second uncle."

Before Ye Rong could answer, the servant ran over stupidly, his bald head only left a tuft of hair on the top of his head, and he came running with a silly smile, holding a few braids made of tree branches in his hand, and wrapped them with red ribbons Okay, yelling: "Big, big, uncle, two, two, two..."

After opening his mouth for a long time without saying a word, Qin Zhuangdong snatched it away and said for him, "Don't worry, this is the mugwort and willow whip that Yu'er will use to pump his butt tomorrow when he washes three courts?"

"Yes, yes, hi, Aunt Xi, say... ask... uncle to take a look..."

"No, this thing is for beating newborn babies. Your second young master is a calf with thick skin and flesh. Go, get a few tendons wrapped around mugwort sticks to whip him, so that he can cry, otherwise he will break a bucket of whips tomorrow." , This child can't cry." Qin Zhuangdong said, and the people around him laughed secretly.

"What are you laughing at? I haven't seen how Xi Sanchao made a baby cry? The louder the cry, the richer and longer the life." Qin Zhuangdong said a few words that were both grand and humorous, and Ye Rong's face turned red and pale with anger.

Ye Rong felt his mind was empty, as if all the blood in his body rushed to his cheeks.If you can't escape, do you have to suffer the insult and be played in public to please those dignitaries?Asking him to wear a loincloth, go down to take a bath in front of celebrities from all walks of life in Dingjiang in full view, and also beat the whip for washing three times to listen to the baby cry, there is nothing he can do.This Qin Alang, how else can he play tricks on him? Is it great to be rich?Ye Rong made up his mind and stopped serving!Grandpa can't afford to offend, can't he still hide? 36 meter, go first!

The second uncle held his wrist tightly and said, "My dear nephew, the second uncle is crazy looking forward to your coming to the Qin family. With you brothers, your grandma won't have to worry about the second uncle every day that I'm going to have a baby."

Uncles, nephews and brothers went to the building together.

The wind blows through the gauze curtain, and Ye Rong is standing in front of the window, overlooking the Dingjiang River in the distance, the mist is vast, fishing boats shuttle, and the ferry roars across the dark gray and cold river water with a long whistle sound, dragging out a long bright white tail.At this hour of the day, it is mostly when he and a group of brothers from Qingdaotang are patrolling the three warehouses by the river.

He was rubbing the fringed tassels tied to the copper hooks of the curtains in his hands, just rubbing them like that, staring at the river in the distance in a daze.

"Second brother, are you still angry with grandma?" Ye Rong turned his head and saw that the elder sister Yin Hong was standing by the door, holding the door, with a quiet and graceful appearance.

He smiled back and shook his head.

"It's said that contentment is always happy. How can there be perfection? Grandma is old and has a big temper, so you bear it. Daddy loves you the most in his heart, can't you see? Go, go downstairs with sister. You want to open The banquet is over, and the second uncle is back, and grandma is very happy."

Ye Rong didn't refuse, and went downstairs to the flower hall with the elder sister. The six round tables were full, and the aunt and sisters were full of laughter. The family portrait was lively like never before.

Yin Hong took Ye Rong by the hand and pushed him to sit down on the left hand of Boss Qin, and said in a low voice, "A Rong, talk."

"Come here, sit next to Second Uncle. Second Uncle likes this kid, he is a bit wild, like a child of my Qin family." Qin Zhuangdong patted the chair beside him, beckoning Ye Rong to come over, Ye Rong just sat there, Also do not leave.

"Go, your second uncle called you over, not an outsider." Boss Qin's words seemed to smooth things over for Ye Rong, but Ye Rong was upset. This strange family seemed to be a happy family, and countless eyes were fixed on his mother and son. People look up and down.It's like a luminous pearl on a high hanging roof that everyone covets. Whoever picks it belongs to him. Everyone is struggling to move the ladder and build the stool. Suddenly, one person flies up and picks it up. Everyone looks at it eagerly, envious In addition, the rest is lonely, jealous and helpless, but there is still a congratulatory smile on the face.

The banquet started, and the old lady said: "It's all under the blessing of Goddess Guanshiyin, the exiled young master of the Qin family has returned. Now that the Qin family has a queen, next, I'm going to make a fuss to hug my great-grandson."

Ye Rong sneered inwardly, lowered his head to drink tea, and heard the old lady say: "Tomorrow, I will tell the matchmakers that this girl from Dingjiang's respectable family is going to marry, and report to me. Miss with a good family background, I'm going to propose marriage for the two children."

The teacup in Ye Rong's hand stopped in the air, and his heart was full of disgust. He had no dignity, no freedom, he could be trampled on at will, he could manipulate his marriage, and he would be teased in public tomorrow.All in all, when will we wait?Must go!without delay.

Qin Zhuangdong over there smiled and said: "These two boys are throwing temper tantrums at me. Brother, since the eldest brother has two sons, why don't you give the younger son to me."

Boss Qin glared at him and said, "Second brother, it is said that your nephew's marriage should be handled, and you should be busy first. You are busy in the army, and elder brother knows, but how busy you are should not miss the important matter of inheriting the family. Sister-in-law's birth No, you don't want to stop wives and marry again, the eldest brother will follow you. But, taking a concubine is always the right thing to carry on the family line. Rong'er, it's not easy for me to subdue him, let alone you. You also experienced the fight in the back garden just now He is dead, but a fuel-efficient lamp?"

Chu Yaonan seemed to see Ye Rong's strange expression, followed him back to his room, and reminded him: "A gentleman says that four horses are hard to chase. Now it's not riding a horse, but riding a tiger is hard to get off. Tomorrow, all the influential figures in Dingjiang will gather together, so don't make any troubles. If there is something, we will talk about it slowly after the baptism banquet."

Ye Rong said angrily: "Chu Yaonan, don't bully people too much! Let the young master show his ugly face in front of others."

Chu Yaonan said: "I didn't force you. You don't have to agree, and I won't owe the French devils a favor, and I will be entangled in the future, okay?"

Ye Rong took a deep breath, now being held by Chu Yaonan, he gritted his teeth and said, "Don't be too pretentious, if you dare to play tricks on me, I will let you also enter the tub to take a bath with me."

Chu Yaonan replied without hesitation: "It's a pity, it's a pity, only two pairs of red cloth are sewn on the bellyband and the crotch."

"Then I'll give it to you." Ye Rong said, looking at his pair of burning peach blossom eyes, and said with a smile: "I'm kidding you."
