"Do you know my father?" the girl asked crisply.
"Ye Junhai, is this your father?" Ye Xiwen asked.
Ye Xiwen immediately understood that this should be his uncle's youngest daughter, his cousin, Ye Qiaoqiao.
Judging from the information obtained from Guizutang, there are not many of his direct relatives still living in the world. They only have his uncle Ye Junhai, his third uncle Ye Junyan, and his uncle's eldest son, his eldest cousin, Ye Mao. The youngest daughter, Ye Qiaoqiao, and the only son of the third uncle Ye Junyan, his cousin, Ye Cai.
There are only five people in total. As for the two aunts, it seems that they died early due to the turmoil in the early years. The eldest uncle and the third uncle have never renewed their relationship. As for the older generation, they have a black eye.
"Yes, who are you?" Ye Qiaoqiao opened her big eyes and glanced at Ye Xiwen curiously.
The Ye family in Luoye City has been in decline for a long time. Even if they go back to the master's house to worship their ancestors, there will be almost no visitors. It's too late for everyone to avoid them, and they dare to come.
"Son of an old friend, I heard that two elders came to Yingke City today, so I came here to pay a visit!" Ye Xiwen said with cupped hands.
"The son of an old friend?" Ye Qiaoqiao frowned slightly, pouted her lips, and said, "Then what is your name? I can go in and inform you!"
"My name is Ye Xiwen!"
"Ye Xiwen? So, you are also from the Ye family, so just wait!" Ye Qiaoqiao looked at Ye Xiwen, then turned around and walked in.
This is a not very big courtyard. There are only some servants hired to clean the courtyard. Even if the Ye family in Luoye City declines again, they will still be able to hire a few servants. This time it is rare to come back to the main house. This courtyard has been empty for a long time and needs to be cleaned.
"Little sister, where have you been!" At this time, a soft voice was heard coming from a room, and a young man of about thirty years old was seen walking out.
He was wearing a black brocade silk shirt, with a dark pebbled rhinoceros belt tied around his waist. He had long dark hair, a pair of deep starry eyes, and a tall and straight body, quite magnanimous.
"Brother!" Seeing this man, Ye Qiaoqiao shrank and shouted crisply.
"Didn't I tell you that this is not our Luoye City. There are many powerful people in the master's family. I want you and your third brother to go out less and cause less trouble. After the ancestors are worshiped and the second uncle is worshiped, we We are going back to Luoye City!" The man said with a frown.
This man is none other than Ye Xiwen's cousin, Ye Mao.
"Oh, I know, but I didn't cause any trouble, I just went around in a circle!" Ye Qiaoqiao said a little depressed, "Brother, the master's house is so big, much bigger than our Luoye City, so we will Can’t we live here? Didn’t it mean that we were originally members of the master’s family?”
Hearing this, Ye Mao frowned and asked sharply: "Who are you from the master's family? Where did you hear this?"
"I just overheard it once, big brother, when you were talking to daddy!" Ye Qiaoqiao shrank her head and said a little depressed.
"No matter what you hear, these words are rotten in your stomach. You are not allowed to say a word to the outside world, you know? Otherwise, it may bring the danger of overturning our family!" Ye Mao looked at Ye Qiaoqiao and said.
"I know!" Ye Qiaoqiao flattened her mouth and said rather dissatisfied, "By the way, brother, there is a person outside who claims to be the son of an old friend and wants to visit!"
"Son of an old friend, our family has fallen into this situation. Everyone heard that it was our family's problem and it was too late to hide. Who else would come to the door?" Ye Mao frowned.
"He said his name is Ye Xiwen!" Ye Qiaoqiao conveyed the truth.
"Ye Xiwen..."
Ye Mao only felt that this name seemed familiar, as if he had heard it somewhere.
"Ye Xiwen, that's not the second uncle's son, the second brother!" Ye Mao suddenly came to his senses, but then he felt it was so incredible that Ye Qiaoqiao and Ye Cai might not know Ye Xiwen at all. .
But Ye Mao still remembered it, because he was already an adult at that time, and he was even there when Ye Xiwen chose the name.
But later, after the second brother was taken away by his second uncle, he never appeared again.
If he is really the son of his second uncle...
He suddenly became energetic!
He quickly said: "Go and bring him in quickly, and I'll notify my father and third uncle!"
After saying that, his figure had already jumped into the house.
"You're in such a hurry!" Ye Qiaoqiao said with a flat mouth, but still followed Ye Mao's words, came to the door, looked at Ye Xiwen who was still waiting and shouted: "That Ye Xiwen, my elder brother said that you should come in first !”
Ye Xiwen immediately did not hesitate and followed Ye Qiaoqiao into the courtyard. This was a small courtyard. Except for the servants who were busy in the courtyard, the rest was not even as good as the courtyard where Ye Xiwen and Ye Fan lived.
But immediately, a rush of footsteps came from the house. Leading the way was a middle-aged man with most of his hair dyed white. He was dressed in black clothes and looked tall and powerful as he walked.
Behind him is a slightly younger middle-aged man, who is somewhat similar to the previous middle-aged man. He is wearing a maroon gown and has a somewhat elegant atmosphere.
Behind the two of them was a handsome and upright young man. Looking closely, he looked somewhat similar to him.
"You are..." The middle-aged man with half-white hair in the lead looked at Ye Xiwen with a pair of bright eyes and slightly trembling lips.
Yes, yes, from the first moment he saw Ye Xiwen, he was sure that he was right. Between his eyebrows, he was indeed very similar to his second brother.
Ye Xiwen still didn't understand the identities of the people in front of him, so he quickly prostrated himself on the ground and said: "Ye Xiwen, meet my uncle, third uncle!"
At this moment, he showed no reluctance or unwillingness.
"Okay, okay, okay, you are back as expected!" Ye Junhai said excitedly.
Ye Junyan behind him also looked excited and said: "Brother, it was the second brother who protected me secretly that made Wen'er come back!"
"Get up, get up, you have been living outside all these years, thank you for your hard work!" Ye Junhai quickly helped Ye Xiwen up and looked at Ye Xiwen's eyes. He liked it no matter how much he looked at it. This was the only son of their second brother, the only child of blood.
"Fortunately, when a man is alive, he must go through hardships before he can achieve anything!" Ye Xiwen said with a grin.
"Yes, second brother also likes to say that!" Ye Junyan said with a smile, and he was also happy from the bottom of his heart. "They have the same blood at heart!"
"Have you passed by the Guizu Hall when you came back to the Ye family?" Ye Junhai asked, not doubting Ye Xiwen's identity. From the first moment he saw Ye Xiwen, he confirmed that he would not be mistaken. It was indeed his second son. Brother's bloodline.
"Well, I just went through the confirmation of Guizu Hall a few days ago. I found out that there are still relatives alive. I wanted to wait until the ancestor worship ceremony was over before heading to Luoye City. I didn't want to meet my uncle and third uncle here!" Ye Xiwen He nodded and said.
Hearing this, Ye Junhai frowned slightly and said, "So, you didn't know this before?"
"I don't know. My father only left this jade pendant at that time and said that he would find out when he went to Qishan. I only found out later when my adoptive father told me himself!" Ye Xiwen took out the jade pendant.
It was a piece of palm-sized jade pendant, green in color and round in shape, just about a finger thick. The image of an unknown ferocious beast was engraved in the center of the jade.
"That's right, it's the Qilin Jade Pendant that my second brother is wearing!" Ye Junhai said excitedly, and now there was no doubt about Ye Xiwen's identity. "I didn't expect that after hundreds of years, I could still see him!"
"Brother, the most important thing is, isn't Wen'er back? Our family is reunited!" Ye Junyan said.
"That's right, that's right. Look, I'm a little old and confused!" Ye Junhai laughed loudly, feeling greatly relieved.
"Yes, family reunion is more important than anything else!" Ye Junhai said, "Wen'er, let me introduce to you, this is your eldest brother, Ye Mao, your little sister Ye Qiaoqiao, and one of your third uncle's The only child Ye Cai!"
"Second brother!" Ye Mao said to Ye Xiwen with a smile. Although he had guessed it just now, but now it was finally confirmed, he was extremely happy in his heart. Their clan has been in decline for too long, and any clan member is worth cherishing, let alone still... The son of his second uncle and his cousin.
"You... second brother!" Compared to Ye Mao, Ye Qiaoqiao still found it harder to accept that such a person suddenly became his second brother. But after all, his father, third uncle, and eldest brother had confirmed that he should Can't be wrong.
"Brother, little sister!" Ye Xiwen also said with his hands in hand.
"This brat, I don't know where he has gone now!" When Ye Junyan mentioned Ye Cai, Ye Junyan also looked like he hated iron.
"Third uncle, I think third brother only played a little longer because of the prosperity of Yingke City. It should be fine!" Ye Mao persuaded.
"If this kid was one-tenth as stable as you, I would be relieved!" Ye Junyan said rather helplessly.
Looking at this scene, Ye Xiwen somehow just felt a warm current flowing through his heart. Suddenly at a certain moment, he felt that God was really kind to him sometimes, whether it was in his previous life or later in Yiyuan Sect. , or maybe now, he has a warm family.
Parents are probably like this. They hope that their children can become stable. It seems that this is what a standard good child looks like.
"Are you here in Luoye City?" At this time, a slightly cold voice came from outside the yard.
—What the hell, dear, I voted for ten Cui Geng votes. What an unlucky thing. I have to review these days and it’s very difficult to keep up with three Cui Geng. Um, can I wait until after the 15th to vote? The exam was over by then!
