Chapter 223: ...... in the Study Harmonious atmosphere?
As long as Ye Chengshu is willing to bow his head first, he doesn't need to speak, and the anger in the old man's heart will naturally disappear.
Therefore, early this morning, after the Zhuo Lan incident, Ye Chengshu took the initiative to come back to the Ye family's mansion for the first time, and Ye Zhenqiu already understood his grandson's thoughts in his heart.
He knew very well that Ye Chengshu was coming back to apologize to him.
For the first time, this was the first time that his grandson bowed his head to him first, and it was even more rare to come to him to admit his mistake.
Let the black butler lead Ye Chengshu to the study, Ye Zhenqiu sat behind the tea table carefully carved by the old sandalwood, in front of him was a hot teapot with white smoke, he waved his hand, waved away the black butler, glanced at Ye Chengshu lightly, and did not speak. Keep your head down and fiddle with his tea pet.
A life-like and majestic unicorn tea pet, under Ye Zhenqiu's careful care over the years, has become more and more lifelike and vivid. It was as if there really was a majestic unicorn standing on his tea table.
At a glance, no matter how tasteless people are, they can be sure that this tea pet must be from the hands of famous artists, and it is definitely carefully served by tea lovers.
Otherwise, the body of this tea pet unicorn will not be so bright, faintly shining with a little crystalline light.
Ye Chengshu walked into the study elegantly, his eyebrows raised slightly, "When did you move the tea table to the study?" ”
This rule was set by the old man himself.
The study room is the place to read and work.
What snacks, meals...... No one is allowed in the study!
Even teacups are not allowed in the study.
After all, the study room of the Ye family's mansion can basically be called a small library.
The collection of books in it is not much compared to the museums in Jiangnan Province.
Here, there are too many precious, incalculable value of the famous hand-copied solitary book!
If such a unique manuscript that cannot even estimate the price is allowed to see the water, it is to be damned.
The rules he set by himself are now breaking by himself.
Ye Chengshu couldn't help but feel a little surprised.
The old man has always been an old-fashioned and serious person.
It's hard to imagine that he would take the initiative to break the rules he has set, unless ......
"Yuzu's child loves to eat snacks, and after reading a book for a while, he will be hungry. Always look for ways to bring snacks into the study. I saw that she was so painstaking, so I simply asked Lao Hei to move the tea table in. Let her hide in the corner and eat like a mouse, it is better to sit down and eat generously. Even if it's dirty, it's easy to clean up the old black. ”
Sure enough......
Ye Chengshu looked like he had already guessed.
Unless it is the grapefruit who will please the old man the most, otherwise, who has the ability to make the old man break the rules he has set?
His daughter is too good at being coquettish.
"If she is in the South Palace, she will cry to death, and I will not let her bring food into the study."
The habit that has been cultivated by the old man since he was a child cannot be broken now. Besides, he didn't want to change himself. The study is not a place to eat!
"I'll have to talk about grapefruit when I come back to this. You can't always rely on her temperament. That girl knows that she is coquettish, so you promised her everything, how can I discipline her in the future? ”
Now that he has said a little more about that girl, she is going to come to the Ye family's mansion to find her grandfather.
He can't stop that girl from coming to the Ye family's mansion to accompany the elders, right?
It really gave him a bit of a headache.
Who knows, as soon as Ye Zhenqiu heard what he said, he immediately became angry, "I have never been dependent on your temperament, don't you don't listen to me every day, and you always have to work against me?" I haven't even been able to discipline you well, what qualifications do you have to discipline Yuzu? "......" Ye Chengshu slowly picked up the teacup and sipped it shallowly.
No more openings.
is a little angry, let the old man scold a few words to vent, and that's it.
There's really no need, just argue with him anymore.
Seeing that Ye Chengshu rarely did not contradict himself, Ye Zhenqiu snorted coldly from the tip of his nose, and did not continue to be angry again.
Proper sprinkling of anger will be harmless.
If you go too far, there's no reason for that, right?
The grandfather and grandson sat in the study and leisurely tasted tea for a while.
It wasn't until they drank all the tea in the purple clay pot that Ye Chengshu put down the teacup and broke the silence.
"Old man."
Ye Zhenqiu's eyelids lifted, "Say!" "There's one thing I've always wanted to tell you. He slowly stretched out a finger and slid it over the edge of the teacup, "This is the future development of the Ye family, although I am already the head of the Ye family, I will decide what to do." But I still want to talk to you and hear your opinions. ”
Ye Zhenqiu didn't say anything else unpleasant, he hummed lightly, "This matter, you have made a lot of movements, I have already noticed it." It's just that I don't quite understand what exactly you think. ”
"Then I'll tell you about it."
After Ye Chengshu finished speaking, he got up and walked out of the study with the kettle, filled the kettle, and put it on the kettle to boil slowly.
He sat down opposite the old man again, and smiled softly, "I don't know when I will talk about this." "I'm not afraid of what you said, there is nothing else at home, and there is enough tea. ”
'Snorted' laughed, it could be seen that he was able to reconcile with the old man, and Ye Chengshu was in a very good mood. After all, it was his own grandfather, who was always so deadlocked, who could be comfortable?
So, it was Ye Chengshu who said carefully, and Ye Zhenqiu listened carefully.
He planned to let the Ye family completely fade out of people's sight in three years, and completely let all the rights that the Ye family had on the surface be returned one by one. And after fading out of people's sight, how should the Ye family deal with themselves, how to secretly cultivate those powerful people with potential, cooperate with them, and still maintain the transcendent status of the Ye family, and the supreme power will not disappear from the hands of the Ye family. is still firmly in the hands of the Ye family...... I explained them to the old man one by one.
After hearing this, Ye Zhenqiu did not immediately express his position, but just drank the tea silently, as if thinking about whether such a change would be good or bad for the Ye family. If it is good, then this good, is it much better than the current situation of the Ye family. and whether such changes can be sustained.
No, it is short-lived, and all kinds of drawbacks will soon be revealed, and that is what really harmed the Ye family!
Change is never a trivial matter. It's not going to be easy.
Reform has always been accompanied by all kinds of thorny problems, and even ......
Sacrifice and bloodshed!
Ye Chengshu never thought that the old man would agree to support his decision after hearing it.
The old man needs time to think, and he also needs more time to explain to him in detail.
So, Ye Chengshu was full of heart and told Ye Zhenqiu the pros and cons he had thought of. Impartially, if there are any problems, he also said them one by one. Even if it was bad, he didn't hide it.
Because, this is related to the future development of the Ye family and whether the century-old foundation can continue to be passed on for a hundred years, and he cannot be allowed to have any mistakes, let alone any concealment.
Otherwise, it will be the Ye family who will be harmed!
Therefore, Ye Chengshu didn't dare to have anything to hide, nor did he dare to have any neglect and contempt, and told Ye Zhenqiu all the thoughts he had been thinking about and pondering repeatedly these days.
Even the smallest details, he tries to avoid falling behind. Try your best to do it, tell Ye Zhenqiu every point.
is not only out of respect for Ye Zhenqiu, but also wants to discuss and discuss with him!
Ye Zhenqiu had been listening silently and carefully, even if there was something disagreeable in the middle, he didn't open his mouth to interrupt Ye Chengshu.
Until Ye Chengshu picked up the teacup, symbolizing what he wanted to say, he had finished saying it all one by one.
Ye Zhenqiu nodded and asked, "You just said that the Ye family will definitely not be able to enter the officialdom for half a step in the future." ”
"Yes." Ye Chengshu hurriedly put down the teacup, "If the Ye family enters the officialdom in the future, it will definitely directly grasp the power, in this way, I want the Ye family to completely fade out of people's sight, isn't it against it?" That's why I want to set a rule, all the children of the Ye family must not enter the career of an official! ”
What Ye Chengshu said was categorical, and there was no negotiation at all.
This is the only one, and there is absolutely no room for negotiation!
Otherwise, it would be against his idea of wanting the Ye family to fade out of people's sight and hold power in secret!
This is something he categorically cannot tolerate.
He has done so many things, isn't it just to let the Ye family control the overall situation behind the scenes?
Everything that would violate this principle is not negotiable!
Ye Zhenqiu squinted his eyes and thought about it, he would be a little difficult to make a decision for a while.
"I support and agree with your ideas. However, I reserve some of your practices and ideas. This is the most sincere answer given by Ye Zhenqiu.
It's not official, ambiguous and perfunctory, but the truest thoughts in his heart at this moment.
The so-called tree wants to be quiet and the wind does not stop, this sentence is used on the Ye family, it is very suitable!
Many times, it's not that the Ye family wants to live in peace, the other party is willing to settle things! In terms of taking 10,000 steps back, it is better to be willing to settle things and suffer a loss. But who can guarantee that people are willing to live in peace?
Just look at the incident of Zhuo Lan, as well as the situation of various group forces attacking the Ye family over the years.
It's not that the Ye family wants to compete with others for anything at all, but that some people can't tolerate the Ye family in their eyes!
I always feel that the Ye family is a threat to them, a sharp blade hanging above their heads that will fall at any time!
The Ye family will never fight for anything, let alone disdain to grab anything.
There should be, the Ye family already has it.
Whether it is Ye Zhenqiu or Ye Chengshu, or Ye Nanchuan who is sandwiched between the two of them, they actually don't have any excessive ambitions! They never thought of chasing the Central Plains, in fact, if they really wanted to compete for the Central Plains and stabilize the peak, that position, the Ye family would have been on the road a long time ago. Only the Ye family wants to do it, and the Ye family can't do it without the Ye family.
Since the Ye family has never sat in that position until now, it means that the Ye family has not thought about occupying that position at all.
But there are always some people who want to speculate about the Ye family with their own ideas.
What can they do?
If people think like that, they can't change it.
Even if the Ye family said that they were not interested in stabilizing the pinnacle position, I am afraid that people would not believe it.
Those old men in the capital are always trying to weaken the strength of the Ye family, aren't they afraid of this?
However, the Ye family is not unable to understand the thoughts of those people.
As the old saying goes, how can you allow others to sleep soundly next to the couch?
That's the truth.
The person sitting in that position, when he thought of the Ye family in Jiangnan Province and the huge power held by the Ye family, he was afraid that he would not even be able to sleep well.
This kind of mood can be understood by the Ye family.
In order to prevent the menacing side of the capital again and again, the best way is to let the Ye family gradually fade out of people's sight, and on the surface, little by little, the power in his hands that is too large and unreassuring to be relieved is slowly released.
But the real right, the Ye family will not put it, and it is impossible to put it.
