No one expected that Ye Chen would sit so calmly and casually.
It was as if the seat itself belonged to him.
Ye Changyun, who was robbed of his seat, turned green with anger.
He originally thought that Ye Chen would definitely have to temper his edge when he first arrived. Even if the old man asked him to sit in this position, he would take the initiative to refuse and then return the seat to him.
But who would have thought that this guy would sit down directly!
This made Ye Changyun couldn't help but curse in his heart: "Damn it! This Ye Chen doesn't understand the rules too much. Haven't you learned the story of Kong Rong Rangli? You just came back and took your third uncle's seat from me. Do you want to step on me?"
The top of your head?"
The boss Ye Changkong was also very unhappy.
He originally thought that Ye Chen would be more restrained and humble in front of the old man and so many uncles when he returned to the Ye family, but he didn't expect that Ye Chen would ignore these so-called elders at all.
Ye Changkong couldn't help but curse in his heart: "This Ye Chen took Changyun's position. On the surface, he slapped Changyun in the face, but in fact, he gave Xiaofeng a disgrace!"
"After all, he, Ye Chen, is a grandson. No matter in terms of seniority, seniority, or age, he should be ranked behind my two younger brothers, and he must be ranked behind my son Xiaofeng!"
"But now, the old man actually asked him to go directly over Xiaofeng, past the third and fourth children, and sit directly in front of the old man..."
"If the old man favors him to this extent, that is an extremely dangerous sign! If he surpasses Xiao Feng, wouldn't it be possible that the Ye family will fall into his hands in the future?!"
Ye Feng was equally angry.
In any family, the eldest son and eldest grandson are the most valuable, so in Ye Feng's eyes, his younger brothers and sisters will all have to make a living under him in the future, so they are naturally several levels behind him.
Forget about these younger brothers and sisters, what about those uncles and aunts?
After the old man left and the power of the Ye family was handed over to his father, these uncles and aunts began to develop in the direction of their relatives.
By then, won’t they have to act based on their own faces?
But today, the old man promoted Ye Chen to such a high position, which really made him feel a huge sense of crisis.
Other members of the Ye family were also dissatisfied with the old man's actions, but no one dared to speak out in person at this time, so all of them could only hold back.
After everyone sat down, Tang Sihai took a guest card written with a calligraphy pen, handed it to Ye Zhongquan with both hands, and said respectfully: "Sir, for this ancestor worship ceremony, the Ye family has branches and relatives from all over the world, a total of seven hundred
Ninety-one members came to participate, and the names are all on this name card."
"Okay!" Ye Zhongquan nodded with satisfaction and said, "The fact that so many people from the Ye family branch have come proves that they have not forgotten their roots!"
Tang Sihai handed over another name card and continued: "Master, there are a total of one hundred and thirty-six representatives of the relatives who came to visit today. They are all the heads of each branch of the Ye family and the eldest son and grandson. The list is as follows
The order on this post is the order in which I will visit my relatives."
Ye Zhongquan took it, glanced at it, and said with a smile: "There are many more legitimate sons and grandsons of various families who came to visit this time than last time!"
"Yes." Tang Sihai nodded and said: "There are many young people inside, about 16 to 25 years old. They were all children during the last ancestor worship ceremony, so they did not come to attend the meeting."
Ye Zhongquan nodded and said with a smile: "Our Ye family is prosperous and has spread all over the country and even the world. Tomorrow's ancestor worship ceremony will bring out the genealogy on site, and then fill in all the information of these young descendants. Old
My ancestors will definitely be very pleased when they see it!"
Tang Sihai hurriedly said: "That's natural!"
After saying that, Tang Sihai asked again: "Master, it's only three minutes to go until half past nine. More than a hundred relatives of the Ye family are already waiting outside the manor. Can we let them come in one after another to visit?"
Ye Zhongquan nodded and said with a smile: "Okay, let's get started!"
As he said that, he turned around and introduced to Ye Chen who was on the side: "Chen'er, the first people to come to visit you in a while are your second grandfather's family. I wonder if you still remember him?"
Ye Chen shook his head: "I have no impression."
Ye Zhongquan smiled and said: "You should have met him once or twice when you were a child, but after all, you have been away from home for too long, and you, the second master, and your family are all in Canada, and there are not many opportunities to come to China."
After saying that, Ye Zhongquan added: "Speaking of the many relatives of the Ye family, your second grandfather's family has the closest relationship with us. After all, he is my biological brother."
Others saw Mr. Ye talking and laughing with Ye Chen all the time, and they all felt jealous in their hearts.
Soon, everyone heard Tang Sihai shouting at the door: "Ye Zhongzhuo, the descendant of the Ye family, together with his eldest son Ye Changming and eldest grandson Ye Fan came to visit!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a white-haired old man walked in with a middle-aged man and a young man with a smile.
This old man is Ye Zhongquan's younger brother, Ye Zhongzhuo.
Ye Zhongzhuo took his eldest son and grandson and walked straight to Ye Zhongquan, who was sitting in the central seat, and said excitedly: "Brother! Long time no see!"
Ye Zhongquan nodded and said with a smile: "You haven't come back in the past two or three years, have you? You don't come back to see my big brother at all times. It doesn't make sense!"
Ye Zhongzhuo said with shame: "Brother, my body can no longer bear the torment. I had a serious illness a few years ago and more than half of my stomach was removed. Brother, you also know this. The doctor told me not to overwork myself, so I
I usually don’t go far away.”
Speaking of this, Ye Zhongzhuo sighed again: "The children didn't want me to come to this ancestor worship ceremony, but how could I not come? Maybe this will be the last time I attend the ancestor worship ceremony!"
Ye Zhongquan said hurriedly: "Don't talk nonsense, take good care of your health, and you will definitely be able to participate in the event in twelve years!"
Ye Zhongzhuo sighed softly, waved his hands and said: "Brother, I know my body well. I will be satisfied if I can live for another three to five years. How can I dare to expect twelve years."
Speaking of this, Ye Zhongzhuo said again: "I just finished the work for the children a few days ago. I wanted to transport the body back to the country after my death and bury it in the ancestral grave of our Ye family, but the children were all confused at first.
I don’t agree, I always feel like it’s too far away, so it’s not easy to come over to see me and pay my respects.”
Ye Zhongquan blurted out: "Okay, brother! Don't say these depressing words. Come back this time and stay a few more days, so that we brothers can have a good gathering together!"
"Okay!" Ye Zhongzhuo nodded repeatedly, and then said to his son and grandson beside him: "Chang Ming, Xiao Fan, what are you doing standing still? Hurry up and pay your respects to the head of our Ye family!"
Ye Changming hurriedly knelt down on one knee, clasped his fists and said, "Changming pays homage to uncle!"
His son Ye Fan also knelt down and said respectfully: "Ye Fan pays homage to Grandpa!"
Ye Zhongquan smiled and helped the two of them up, and said cheerfully: "Come on, come on, the second brother, Chang Ming, and Xiao Fan, let me introduce them to you."
Ye Changkong, the eldest son of Ye, had already raised his buttocks and was about to stand up.
Because according to the rules, in this formal occasion, even if everyone knows each other, they must go through the formalities.
As the eldest son, I must be the first to introduce him.
But who would have thought that as soon as he lifted his butt a few centimeters, Ye Zhongquan pulled Ye Chen and introduced Ye Zhongzhuo, his ancestors and grandson, "This is Changying's son, Ye Chen!"
