Chapter 126

Tian Miaowen stepped forward and bowed to them. She said softly, "Father-in-law, mother-in-law, your daughter-in-law, Teng Zhen, pays respect to you."

Tian Miaowen's behavior showed a kind of elegance and nobility in her bones. Although Mr. and Mrs. Ye were from a small family and had limited vision, and they had been under the feet of the Emperor for a long time, they had a kind of arrogant mentality that people from other places were all country people. But after all, they were not as ignorant as Ye Xiao 'an. They could still see the girl's upbringing and nobility.

The first impression was very important. The old couple liked Tian Miaowen as soon as they saw her. This kind of love was sincere, and it had nothing to do with her family background. As for his family background, they had never heard of An Song or Tian Yang in Beijing.

After arriving in Guizhou, they had heard of it. But it was the same as when they heard their relatives in the countryside talk about the powerful and influential Third Master Ding and Fourth Master Li in their castle. No matter if you were a commander-in-chief who commanded millions of troops in the world, or a high-ranking official, who entered the city of Beijing with your tail between your legs was more docile than a cat. People under the feet of the Emperor were so confident.

As for vision … Before they left the capital, when they heard people mention the name of Guizhou, they thought it was still a barbaric world where people ate people. Without developed information, how could there be vision?

Now that they saw Miss Tian's natural and unrestrained manner, if it weren't for Ye Xiao 'an who was still lying on the ground with his bloody buttocks, the old couple would have gone forward to greet her with smiles on their faces.

Lawyer Li stepped forward and said to Mr. and Mrs. Ye, "Old Master, Old Madam, this is the wife that Master has engaged. Because Master was taken to the capital in a hurry, he could not report to Old Master and Old Madam, so he asked me to act as a witness. Here is a letter from Master to Old Master. "

Mr. Ye had been in prison all his life and knew some words. He took the letter but did not open it. He just looked at Tian Miaowen and said, "Marriage is a big thing. Even if it is urgent, you should tell Father and Mother early. Is it possible that I have not known this girl for long?"

Although Mr. Ye was still complaining, there was not much unhappiness in his tone. They enjoyed Fuqing in Guizhou, and their range of activities was only on this mountain. Sometimes they went to Qinglang Street in Tongren Province to walk around and buy something. Now the situation was sensitive. Their family stayed in Crouching Bull Ridge and did not go anywhere.

Therefore, the friends, relatives, and social connections of Father Ye in the past were completely useless. If he really wanted to talk about marriage for his son, he didn't know which family he should go to. Was it difficult to choose from the maids who served the old couple in the backyard?

His social circle has almost completely disappeared. In addition, his youngest son is very capable now, and he doesn't need to worry about it. So his son decides his own marriage. Father Ye is very self-aware. He knows that he can't interfere. It was just that his son didn't even tell him in advance before bringing the bride into the house. This hurt his pride as a father.

Hua Yunfei said, "Old master, my eldest brother and Tian Gu … Madam have known each other for a long time, but it was not until recently that they talked about marriage. In addition, the inspector came and investigated the feud between my eldest brother and the Zhang, Zhan, and Cao families. It was impossible for me to come back and report this matter to the two elders. Please forgive me. "

Mr. Ye and Mrs. Ye were relieved when they heard this. However, their son who was beaten was still next to them. Although Tian Miaowen made the old couple fall in love at first sight, Xiao An was their own flesh and blood. No matter how good their daughter-in-law was, there was no reason to be closer to their son.

Mrs. Ye said, "In that case, we will not blame him. It's just that when the daughter-in-law is here, she should come to the back hall to meet her parents-in-law. Why did you have a dispute with your eldest brother as soon as you came and beat him like this? Our Ye family can't tolerate such overbearing behavior! "

Sister-in-law Ye also said angrily, "Mother-in-law is right. Even if you are my brother's wife, you have just entered the door. You haven't even entered the door yet. There are parents, elder brother, and sister-in-law. How can it be your turn to be in charge of the family? Do you think there is no one in our Ye family?"

Li Dazhuang raised his eyebrows. Was the Ye family still an ordinary family? This family had been in Guizhou for some time. How could they still have the mentality of a small farmer? They didn't seem to have made any progress. Li Dazhuang stepped forward to explain, but was stopped by Tian Miaowen.

Tian Miaowen smiled at sister-in-law Ye and said, "This should be sister-in-law. You and I are sisters-in-law. We should be harmonious. Now that I have just arrived at the Ye family, I have no choice but to hurt my eldest brother. No wonder you are angry."

Tian Miaowen sighed softly and said, "There are some things that will be misunderstood by father-in-law, mother-in-law, and sister-in-law. I have no choice but to tell the truth …"

When Tian Miaowen said this, her tone slightly paused. She turned her head and glanced at Li Dazhuang and Hua Yunfei. They understood that their introduction duty had ended. They were now going to talk about family affairs. They were outsiders and should withdraw.

Li Dazhuang gave a worried look to Tian Miaowen. Tian Miaowen's eyes flashed. She returned a victorious smile. Li Dazhuang had to leave the courtyard with Hua Yunfei. Tian Miaowen said to Father Ye, Mother Ye, and sister-in-law Ye, "Now there is only our family here. There are some things that are not easy to say. I can only speak bluntly to father-in-law, mother-in-law, and sister-in-law."

Tian Miaowen said, "The Ye Family is not just a self-sufficient Ye Family now. The head of the Ye Family doesn't have to take care of their daily necessities, cooking oil, and salt, or be diligent and thrifty. All the chieftains in Tongren are disloyal. If you are strong, they will show weakness and befriend you. If you are weak, they will open their bloody mouth and eat you. If you are defeated by them, what will happen to the Ye family? That will be the destruction of the family! "

Tian Miaowen looked at the three people in front of her. Who would say these words to them? Never, so the three people were shocked.

Tian Miaowen continued, "Shi Qian's Zhan family and Cao family's two chieftains died in Little Tian's hands. Now their families are plotting revenge. Once they lead their troops to attack, someone will be needed to command the three armies and lead them into battle. This kind of matter can only be handled by the two elders in law and sister-in-law."

"This … I … Little An, he is a man after all …"

Sister-In-Law Ye stammered and couldn't speak. Tian Miaowen said, "Some skills are not necessarily born as a man. As far as I know, when the eldest brother was in the capital, he ran the oil noodle shop, which should have been profitable, but he lost everything and owed a lot of debts.

In Tongren, with the support of Little Tian, the chieftain, the carriage and horse business, which should have been profitable, was opened by him again. In the matter of war, the commander does not understand military affairs, but at least he should be smart. For all these reasons, it is difficult for sister-in-law to believe that the shrewdness of the eldest brother can be the head of the family.

Now, the eldest brother is not only addicted to gambling, but also has a few mistresses, and spends all day drinking. Even if the Ye family is just an ordinary family who works in agriculture, if there is such an unrestrained and undisciplined person in the head, I am afraid the family will soon decline, right? Father-in-law is knowledgeable and experienced, do you think what daughter-in-law said makes sense? "

Sister-In-Law Ye interrupted Tian Miaowen's words and asked anxiously, "What did you say? He has several mistresses, and where are they?"

Tian Miaowen opened her eyes wide in surprise and said to sister-in-law Ye, "Sister-in-law, you don't know anything about this? There was no one in the outside world who didn't know about this. Among the mistresses that the eldest brother keeps, there are two that he dotes on the most. They live in the village at the foot of the mountain. One is surnamed Luo, the other is surnamed Zheng … "

"Well done! Didn't you say that you have to go down the mountain from time to time to do the grain business with that Yan guy? " Sister-In-Law Ye grabbed Ye Xiao 'an's ear and twisted it hard, "You actually keep mistresses, and not just one or two. Ye Xiao 'an, hello! Hello! You really don't let me down … "

"Don't twist, don't twist, ouch …" Ye Xiao 'an was in the wrong, but he couldn't get rid of his wife's hand. Seeing that she was going to pinch the tender flesh under his ribs angrily, he quickly got up and ran away, ignoring the pain in his buttocks.

Sister-In-Law Ye was not willing to give up. She immediately chased after him and roared, "I'd like to see what kind of vixen made my Xiao 'an like this."

Father Ye and Mother Ye first listened to Tian Miaowen scolding Ye Xiao 'an. Although they didn't like to hear it, what she said was the truth. Ye Xiao' an was not ashamed, but the old couple's faces were burning. Now seeing the farce of Xiao 'an and his wife, the old couple were even more ashamed.

It was true that they were from a small family, but a small family also had dignity and face. This was their new daughter-in-law. As soon as she got married, she saw these shameful things in their family. The old couple had a feeling of not being able to lift their heads in front of their daughter-in-law.

Tian Miaowen saw that their arrogance had been completely suppressed, and they were no longer as arrogant as before. She immediately changed her tone and said softly, "father-in-law, mother-in-law, your daughter-in-law still has something to say to you. How about … Let's go into the room and talk?"

Father Ye agreed in a muffled voice and went into the room. Tian Miaowen caught up and held Mother Ye. Old Madam Ye's body was very strong. Sometimes, she could even chase her little grandson around the garden. However, being supported so thoughtfully, especially by such a capable daughter-in-law, the old lady was very happy. Finally, a smile appeared on her face.

… …

"If it's just eating, drinking, gambling, and wasting all the family's wealth, my brother-in-law's wife can bear it. But in Crouching Bull Ridge, it's not like this. Once our Ye family is defeated, it's the result of the entire family's destruction. Even if your daughter-in-law doesn't think for herself, can she ignore the safety of you two elders? "

The two elders of the Ye family first listened to Tian Miaowen's speech. They didn't understand half of it, so they could only vaguely agree. Seeing this, Tian Miaowen began to speak in the vernacular. The examples she gave were easy to understand, "The emperor is not at home, and the empress is appointed to be the regent. At this time, a wangye jumps out and says that I am the emperor's brother, so I should be in charge. Mother-in-law, do you think it's okay?"

Madame Ye didn't know many words, but she had seen a lot of dramas. When she heard this, she slapped her thigh and said, "How can that be okay? This is clearly a treacherous official. He wants to rebel and usurp the throne! He can't be involved in the emperor's family's matters. Not even his own brother. That will cause trouble! "

Tian Miaowen said, "Mother-in-law is a sensible person! Our Ye family, to say something disgraceful, can now be compared like this. Our Crouching Bull Ridge is a small imperial court. Taxes are collected by themselves, soldiers are raised by themselves, officials are appointed by themselves, and the titles are hereditary. Elders, think about it. Is there any difference between this and a small imperial court? "

"Yes … yes …"

When Father and Mother Ye heard Tian Miaowen say this, they thought about it carefully. It really was like that. They couldn't help but feel somewhat flattered, "If it's like this, then the Ye family is really rich now. It's the imperial court. No matter how small the place is, it's still completely different. "

Tian Miaowen said sincerely, "In this small imperial court, the two elders are the emperor emeritus and the empress dowager!"

Father Ye and Mother Ye listened with fear and trepidation. How did it suddenly become such a rare legendary national treasure-level creature? Emperor emeritus? Empress dowager? Father Ye, who had only been the head of the prison, almost couldn't sit still. Mother Ye's eyes were wide open. It seemed that she was more shocked than happy.

Tian Miaowen said, "Elders, think about it. Our Ye family is a small imperial court. When the emperor isn't here, will it be okay for the prince to take charge? If there are no rules, it will be a mess. This country is passed down by your grandchildren and great-grandchildren. If there is a traitor, won't it be taken advantage of by outsiders? "

Madame Ye sat there trembling. She couldn't breathe because of the empress dowager's big hat. It was still the 'emperor emeritus' who was calmer. He stammered, "Xiao An … Xiao An, this child, won't go so far … He really wants to help his brother."

Tian Miaowen said, "Father-in-law, your daughter-in-law believes your words. But the rules aren't set for my uncle alone. It's for the Ye family's descendants to follow. If uncle breaks the rules, won't the descendants follow suit? Besides, uncle is a good person, but the Chenqiao Mutiny was not Zhao Kuangyin's idea … "

Tian Miaowen was afraid that these two elders didn't know who Zhao Kuangyin was. She wanted to explain a few words, but Madame Ye suddenly said, "I've seen this play! Wife's words are reasonable! Old man, our wife's words are right. This child is kind-hearted. If it was another family, if a prince dares to jump out and take power when the emperor isn't here, no matter if you have good or bad intentions, then you will be beheaded! "

"Ah?" The 'emperor emeritus' looked at the 'empress dowager' who was too immersed in her role and had a blank face.

Tian Miaowen took out a handkerchief and gently wiped the corner of her eyes. She sobbed, "My husband is being escorted to the capital. It's hard to predict the power of heaven. I worry about him day and night. Today, I have no choice but to beat my eldest brother. I will inevitably offend my parents-in-law and sister-in-law. I'm just a weak woman. Who can I tell my heart full of bitterness? "

Ye father and mother's faces were uneasy. It was as if they had done something that angered the heavens and the people. They bullied a new daughter-in-law like this. Look at how wronged she was.

The more Tian Miaowen spoke, the sadder she became, "If I don't beat my eldest brother, I will say that he broke the rules and will leave a future trouble for the Ye family. If I look at it closely, I don't know who the master of the family is and there are strong enemies outside. I'm afraid it won't last long.

But if I beat my eldest brother, I will be blamed. I married into the Ye family, so I'm a member of the Ye family. If the Ye family prospers, I'm afraid I won't have a good time. If the Ye family dies, I will live and die with the Ye family. My life … is so bitter … wa … "

The good parents of the Ye family were so ashamed that they couldn't show their face. Father Ye slapped his thigh and stood up, "Good wife, I've wronged you! I already knew that Xiao An, that child, doesn't live up to expectations. Don't worry, you will be in charge of our family! Whoever dares to make irresponsible remarks, I will break their legs! "
