Xiaonian is a traditional festival in the Xia Kingdom. People begin to prepare new year's goods, sweep dust, offer sacrifices to stoves, etc., in preparation for a clean and happy New Year, which expresses people's good wishes to bid farewell to the old and welcome the new, and to welcome good fortune and good fortune.
The Qin family didn't pay much attention to the Little New Year in previous years, but this year because Chen Ye attended the family gathering, not only did it pay special attention to the Little New Year, but it was also held in the Qin family's ancestral home.
The Qin family's main purpose of doing this is to honor their ancestors - to let the villagers know that the Qin family is now prosperous!
The ancestral home of the Qin family is located in Jiang'an County, below Jiangzhou. It is a house with a courtyard.
3pm.
Except for Qin Boli, Zhong Qin, Qin Miaoyan's family of three, and Fang Lan, Chen Ye's mother and son who had not yet arrived, the rest of the Qin family had gathered.
In one of the rooms.
"Dad, Chen Ye shouldn't do anything to me, right?"
Qin Hongwei asked his father Qin Boyong uneasily.
Last night, after what happened at the King's Bar, Qin Hongwei immediately told his father Qin Boyong because he was afraid that Chen Ye would teach him a lesson.
Qin Boyong thought for a while and said:
"Since he came to the family gathering, it means that he forgives you."
"Hey, he's standing up for his concubine and has something in his heart. How could he talk about it in the Qin family?"
Qin Hongwei's mother smiled jokingly, confident that Chen Ye would not do anything to her son.
Qin Boyong glanced at Qin Hongwei with some worry:
"Weiwei, apart from what happened last night, you didn't make any other mistakes, right?"
"No."
Qin Hongwei shook his head subconsciously, but felt a little weak in his heart.
What he was really worried about was not what happened last night, but what happened before when he openly attacked the police and raped a girl in a nightclub box to the princess in the box.
"Chen Ye is here!"
At four o'clock in the afternoon, a surprised voice sounded at the door of the Qin family's ancestral house.
In the ancestral house of the Qin family, the Qin family, who had been waiting for a long time, immediately stood up and, under the leadership of Qin Shoujiu, walked out of the yard to greet him.
Immediately, while Qin Shoujiu and others were waiting, two cars stopped at the door one after another.
Qin Boli, Zhong Qin and Qin Miaoyan's family of three walked out of the first car, while Chen Ye and his mother Fang Lan walked out of the car behind.
"Fang Lan, Xiaoye, thank you for taking time out of your busy schedule to attend the party at home."
Qin Shoujiu immediately came forward and actively welcomed him, but his eyes stayed on Chen Ye.
Not only him, but also the other Qin family members, with their faces full of flattering smiles.
Seeing this scene, Qin Miaoyan couldn't help but remember that the Qin family believed that Chen Ye was a worthless reform-through-labor prisoner and firmly disagreed with her being with Chen Ye.
She also thought of Chen Ye's phone call last night, and felt that the scene in front of her was ironic.
"Uncle Qin, you're welcome."
Fang Lan responded.
Chen Ye held the gift and said nothing, neither happy nor sad. No one knew what he was thinking.
"Fang Lan, Xiaoye, let's go to the house to chat."
Qin Shoujiu made an invitation gesture, and then led the crowd into the Qin family's ancestral house, surrounded by Fang Lan and Chen Ye, mother and son.
Then, the core members of the family, represented by Qin Boyong and Qin Boli, accompanied Fang Lan and Chen Ye's mother and son in the main room.
Chen Ye remained silent from beginning to end.
Qin Shoujiu and others did not dare to take the initiative to chat with Chen Ye, so they could only chat with Fang Lan. The atmosphere seemed a little strange.
"Mr. Zhang of Jiangzhou Yongtai Decoration Engineering Co., Ltd. is here!"
"Mr. Chi of Jiangzhou Gemdale Real Estate Development Co., Ltd. is here!"
"President Zhou of Jiangzhou Entrepreneurs Association is here!"
At nearly five o'clock, cars drove to the door of the Qin family's ancestral home one after another.
The Qin family, who were in charge of welcoming the guests, stood at the door and excitedly announced the identity of the visitors.
For these guests, Qin Shoujiu did not take the initiative to get up to greet them, but asked Qin Boyong to greet them on behalf of the Qin family.
This is a significant change compared to when he passed his life.
In his words, today is different from the past, and those former partners are no longer worthy of his condescension to welcome them.
The guests were brought to the main room by Qin Boyong. In addition to paying New Year greetings to Qin Shoujiu, they also sent New Year greetings to Fang Lan, Chen Ye and his mother and son, Qin Boli, Zhong Qin, and Qin Miaoyan's family, and gave them valuable gifts.
But they did not dare to talk to Chen Ye. They only chatted with Qin Shoujiu for a few words and then left the main house.
Obviously, they are self-aware and know that Chen Ye, the giant Buddha, is not something they can please.
In their opinion, all they need to do is to curry favor with Qin Shoujiu and the Qin family - Chen Ye's Buddha's light will eventually shine on them!
"Xu Shu of Jiang'an County has arrived!"
"Chief Wang of Jiangzhou Police Station has arrived!"
"Deputy Mayor Zhou of Jiangzhou City has arrived!"
…
Later, more customers came, and their status was much higher than those of the previous merchants.
Faced with these guests, Qin Shoujiu took the initiative to greet them in the yard and then brought them to Chen Ye.
"Mr. Chen, welcome to Jiang'an!"
"Mr. Chen, Mr. Huang went to Yanjing for a meeting. He asked me to take him to say hello to you and your mother, Ms. Fang Lan!"
"Mr. Chen, Mr. Qiao said he will be here in a minute!"
After the three people entered the house, they all said hello to Chen Ye.
"Thanks."
Chen Ye responded politely without showing any arrogance, which made the three guests very excited and had bright smiles on their faces.
They came to the Qin family's ancestral home in the name of the old leader, with the purpose of becoming familiar with Chen Ye and leaving an impression on Chen Ye.
They did not ask Chen Ye to help them in the future, but they only hoped that Chen Ye would not embarrass them when they encountered something related to Chen Ye in the future.
"Ms. Zhuye Qing, the president of the Qinglong Chamber of Commerce and the chairman of the Qinglong Group, is here!"
"Mr. Qiao Gu and Mr. Qiao District, Jiangshu District, Jiangzhou have arrived!"
"Eastern Region Army Chief of Staff Wang Zhanjun and Longya Special Forces Captain Wang Long are here!"
At five o'clock.
As the Qin family welcoming guests at the door spoke again, the atmosphere in the Qin family's ancestral home reached a climax.
Both the folks outside the Qin family's ancestral house and the guests in the courtyard of the Qin family's ancestral house were all shocked!
And everyone in the Qin family was as excited as if they had been given chicken blood, and they were smiling brightly!
This time.
Chen Ye stood up and followed Qin Shoujiu to the courtyard to greet him.
In addition, Chen Ye didn't wait for Zhu Yeqing, Qiao Gu, Qiao Donglai, Wang Zhanjun and Wang Long to say hello to Qin Shoujiu, and then took the initiative to ask:
"Uncle Wang, Wang Long, why are you here too?"
"Xiaoye, I have three purposes for coming today.
First, Xiaolong went to Longya because of your help. I want to thank you.
Second, you restored Qingyun's glory in Yanjing, which made me and the old brothers feel bad. I would like to thank you as a representative.
Third, on behalf of the old brothers, I came to visit my sister-in-law. "
Wang Zhanjun explained his intention and did not mention the Qin family at all.
In other words, if Chen Ye were not here today, even if the Qin family used an eight-carat sedan to carry him, he would not have even set foot in the Qin family's ancestral home.
The Qin family is not worthy!
After the words fell, Wang Zhanjun stepped forward and held Fang Lan's hand, saying:
"Sister-in-law, my name is Wang Zhanjun, and I am bringing my son Wang Long to wish you a happy new year. I wish you good health and all the best!"
"Ms. Fang, Master, Dong Lai and I would also like to wish you a good year..."
"Aunt Fang, I also want to wish you a good year!"
Qiao Gu, Qiao Donglai and Zhu Yeqing also expressed their New Year greetings to Fang Lan.
Seeing this scene, the smiles on the faces of the Qin family, including Qin Shoujiu, did not diminish by half.
Yes.
Although they all knew that these distinguished guests today were all here for Chen Ye, they didn't care at all.
because.
When one person attains enlightenment, chickens and dogs ascend to heaven.
To put it bluntly, Chen Ye is also the son-in-law of the Qin family!
Chen Yison is awesome, which means their Qin family is awesome!
Then, as the head of the Qin family, Qin Shoujiu found the opportunity to say hello to Wang Zhanjun, Wang Long, Qiao Gu, Qiao Donglai and Zhu Yeqing.
In addition, among the previous guests, Secretary Xu of Jiang'an County, Chief Wang of Jiangzhou Police Station, and Deputy Mayor Zhou of Jiangzhou also greeted Qiao Gu and others.
"Woooooooo..."
Immediately, before Qin Shoujiu could bring everyone into the main house, a siren suddenly sounded outside the Qin family's ancestral house.
Three police cars stopped at the door of the Qin family's ancestral house. Several police officers walked out and walked directly into the Qin family's ancestral house.
Are the police here to maintain order?
Seeing this scene, both the villagers around the Qin family's ancestral home and the Qin family's business partners were all shocked.
Having money is worse than having power.
When power stands up and speaks, money is a younger brother.
This is the consensus of Xia people.
At a family dinner, police officers are required to maintain order. How much energy does this require?
They don't know, but they think it's awesome!
Um?
At the same time, those with real power in the courtyard felt that something was wrong.
Because the policemen who came had fierce faces and murderous eyes, and they looked like criminal policemen at first glance.
"Director!"
The leading police officer first led the team to salute Director Wang of Jiangzhou Police Station.
Director Wang nodded slightly, which was both a response and a secret instruction.
"Qin Hongwei, we are from the Criminal Police Team of Jiangzhou Police Station. We are here to investigate two cases with you!"
The leading policeman glanced at Qin Hongwei in the crowd and spoke coldly.
what's the situation?
In an instant.
It was as if a bomb had been dropped in the Qin family's ancestral residence, and it exploded!
The crowd was agitated.
Those who held power looked at Director Wang in shock, as if asking: Director Wang, what's going on?
In their view, even if Qin Hongwei's illegal activities were true, the Jiangzhou Police Department should not let the police come to the Qin family's ancestral home on this special day and on this special occasion to arrest Qin Hongwei in front of Chen Ye. Magnificent take away the investigation!
This is a slap in Chen Ye’s face!
I am also offending all the distinguished guests who came today!
Jianghu is not about fighting and killing, but about human relationships.
Anyone who has been in the system cannot do such stupid things.
What's more, a powerful figure like Director Wang who occupies an important position?
Director Wang didn't pay attention to everyone's gaze, but looked at Chen Ye.
The Qin family and other guests also subconsciously turned their attention to Chen Ye.
"I asked the police to come!"
In full view.
Chen Ye spoke slowly, his voice was not loud, but it sounded like thunder.
He gave the Qin family the first New Year's gift!
