Chapter 234: A Game of Courtier Chess
When there is no right, the Ye family is afraid that it will become history overnight!
Even more terrifying, perhaps, the Ye family will be completely erased, just like ...... Never existed the same.
The Ye family has always firmly believed in a truth-
Only with strong strength can we protect ourselves.
So far, what ambitions does the Ye family have? What other ambitions could there be?
I'm afraid it's ...... There is no longer any status that can make the Ye family excited.
At least in Ye Chengshu's opinion, there is no longer the desire for power that can make his heart move. As for what greater ambitions the head of the Ye family has in the future, it is not something he can manage.
Each generation of family heads has their own ideas, concepts, and judgments. But no matter how the concept changes, if you want to be in a good mood for the Ye family, there will definitely be no change in this.
Ye Chengshu's concept, Ye Zhenqiu is supportive.
As long as it is for the good of the Ye family, he has no reason to object.
But how to implement it, as well as some problems in the process of Ye Chengshu's implementation, there is also that Ye Chengshu does not allow the Ye family to enter the official career in the future and cannot directly grasp the power, which is ......
Ye Zhenqiu was reserved.
But what Ye Chengshu said is not wrong. If the Ye family has entered the official career and directly grasped the power, then how can we talk about making the Ye family fade out of people's sight? How can you talk about letting the Ye family slowly withdraw from the center of the power circle?
If you want the Ye family to become a transcendent family hidden in the city, this must also be guaranteed.
After thinking for a moment, Ye Zhenqiu was extremely sincere and asked in a consultative manner, "This matter should be discussed by your father." β
For Ye Zhenqiu's attitude, Ye Chengshu was not surprised, let alone surprised.
When talking about the development of the Ye family, he is the head of the family, the old man, and he is no longer the head of the Ye family. He has the right to speak, but not to decide. If when he was the head of the family, the old man was also full of words, then how could he manage the Ye family?
One mountain cannot tolerate two tigers, and this principle is applicable everywhere.
The old man is an elder, he should respect him and respect him, but he will not obey him. If it's something else, it's okay to say. But once the Ye family is involved, then the person who is the master of the family can only be the head of the family.
When his father was the head of the family, the old man already had this attitude.
He will express his opinions and attitudes, but he will not be aggressive, and he must let others listen to him.
Ye Chengshu didn't think that the old man was compromising with him, and it wasn't that he didn't respect the old man.
This is just enough respect for the head of the Ye family.
The position of the head of the family has been handed over to him, if the old man still holds on to the right and does not let go, wouldn't it become a curtain to listen to the government?
So what does it mean for him, the head of the family, to do it?
Just don't let the old man delegate power, wouldn't it be easiest and easier to let him be the head of the family all the time?
And Ye Zhenqiu is also very clear about his identity, and he recognizes it very clearly. He only has the right to make suggestions, not decision-making powers. Because, this head of the family is not him.
Being able to come and discuss with him is that Ye Chengshu, who is already the head of the family, respects him. Naturally, he will not take out any elders' shelves to suppress the head of the family.
The head of the house is the head of the house.
On weekdays, you have to be orderly and respect your elders.
But when it comes to talking about confirmation, the elders are also managed by the head of the family, aren't they?
In this case, where is the reason for the elders to point fingers in front of the head of the family?
Yes, Ye Zhenqiu asked very sincerely.
He added: "I can't grasp this matter. After all, times are no longer the same. This is not the era I was in, you are young and have your own ideas, your own rules and rules of the game. If I keep advising you with my old ideas, I'm afraid it's not appropriate. Your father is always younger than me, and I think it's better to ask him for advice on this matter. β
When talking about the affairs of the Ye family, there is no relationship between grandparents and grandchildren, only the relationship between the head of the family and the members.
Ye Chengshu frowned, and his handsome and mature face showed a slight embarrassment.
Ye Zhenqiu looked at it, and he understood a little, and he asked softly, "Does your father support your idea?" "Although he didn't say it directly, after all, I am the head of the Ye family. But I can see that Dad is ...... in his heart Yes, he disagrees with me. β
In fact, before coming to the old man to tell him about this, he greeted his father in advance.
He thought that Dad should be the first person to support his decision, and if Dad agreed, he would be more confident in convincing the old man. Although he is the head of the family, the Ye family has been carried forward in the hands of the old man, and he is the founder of the Ye family. If he didn't inform the old man, he made his own decision, and there was nothing wrong with it, but he was afraid that it would make the old man feel uncomfortable.
But what he never expected was-
The person who opposed him turned out to be his father, who had always supported him.
And the person who agrees with him very much is the old man he originally thought would strongly oppose it.
In this way, Ye Chengshu also didn't know what to do.
Those who thought they were allies became opponents. And the person who has been thinking about how to persuade has become his supporter.
It's also a bit ridiculous.
Ye Zhenqiu squinted his eyes and reached out to stroke his beard, "Actually...... Your father is the most conservative and stubborn. If you want to reform the Ye family like this, it is normal for him not to agree. β
"Yes, I didn't expect that my father would oppose it so strongly. And you......" shook his head with a smile, Ye Chengshu chuckled, "And you are the one who immediately supports me." β
"Well, I'm much more enlightened than your father. Otherwise, I can still tolerate you stinky boy for so many years? β
Ye Chengshu spread his hands, "Old man, don't count me down at this time, okay?" Let's think about it first, how to talk about the concept that we can't talk about, and find a way to talk about it is serious. Who knows, Ye Zhenqiu waved his hand, "There's nothing to talk about." As long as you are not wrong in the general direction, you can do those small details by yourself. β
"Huh?" Ye Chengshu raised his eyebrows in slight surprise and looked at the old man shallowly.
His eyes widened, "What's the matter, don't believe that my old antique will support you?" "Just in the impression...... You're not so supportive of my image. β
In the past, no matter what decision he made, the old man always had more or less different opinions from him here and there. Often two people can't get along, he does his, and the old man does the old man. Then it's a matter of seeing which of the two of them is one foot taller and one foot taller.
This time......?
It was a bit of a surprise to him.
Ye Zhenqiu pulled the corners of his mouth casually, "All your decisions over the years are correct now. You've never made a wrong decision. And I, too, will inevitably have times when I look away. What's more, you are the head of the Ye family. As long as you feel it's the right thing to do, then just let it go. I, as a grandfather, must always fully support you once. These words fell on Ye Chengshu's ears, and he couldn't be said to be unmoved.
The Ye family has always been thinly populated, and the heirs of the family are always not as prosperous as other people's families.
But these children, including Dad, the old man only took him with him and taught him personally. Dad and Chenghuan, the old man didn't care much. Only him, the old man took him with him every day, took great pains for his future, and left everything to him.
He has always known that although he always has disputes with the old man, he is the most distressed by the old man.
It is precisely because the expectations for him are too high that they are even more strict with him. It feels like he's not perfect enough for anything, and he can be even more perfect.
It's not that the old man is dissatisfied with him, it's just ...... The old man's expectations for him are too high.
Ye Chengshu smiled, "So...... Am I living up to your expectations of me? β
"It's been there a long time ago! You're over the limit! Ye Zhenqiu smiled very heartily, "Ah Shu, grandpa has always been very relieved of you." Whatever you want to do, just let it go. I'm a grandfather, and I'll fully support you this time. Even if there is a problem with your father, you don't have to deal with him, let him come to me directly. I'll make him agree. β
Ye Chengshu was helpless, "Why did you say that my father was so ignorant?" He just didn't agree with me, but he wouldn't oppose me. In fact, even though he didn't agree with it in his heart, my dad still gave me a lot of advice. It helped me a lot. β
After a pause, he met the old man's gaze slowly, and said with a smile: "And your support has helped me the most." As long as I'm sure you're supporting me, I'm more comfortable than anything else. "Huh? Ye Zhenqiu smiled, "I knew that the children I taught myself would coincide with my thoughts." β
Well?
Hearing this, Ye Chengshu raised his eyebrows and asked silently.
"In fact, a long time ago, I already wanted the Ye family to slowly fade out of people's sight and circle of power. But when I was the head of the house, the time was not yet ripe. At that time, it was not the best time for the Ye family to leave slowly. I occasionally think in my heart, I think this way, which head of the Ye family can coincide with me? Can I wait until a head of the house who agrees with my thoughts comes out? When I heard you mention this to me today, I knewβ" "I'm your best student? β
"It's the proudest son of my Ye family!"
Ye Chengshu quietly moved the corners of his mouth.
Erlang ......
This is a term that no one uses anymore. Such words can only be heard in the mouths of elderly people like the old man.
He hummed shallowly, "Regarding the differences between you and me, I will seriously consider it when I go back." Try to find a solution that balances it. β
"If you think I'm right, go back and think about it. If you think what I'm saying is outdated, you can let me fart it. β
"This is natural."
"Okay, let's not talk about that. My grandson is so good, he won't let the Ye family have any mistakes. "That's all the more certain. β
"Then ...... now" Ye Zhenqiu's eyes showed a little bit of light undisguisedly, "Play chess with me?" β
"Playing chess?" Ye Chengshu was stunned for a moment, thinking about his daughter-in-law downstairs, and hesitated, "I originally came to apologize to you today, and I will accompany you and your granddaughter-in-law to the hospital for a prenatal checkup." She is now more than three months pregnant, and she can already accurately determine whether the fetus in her womb is male or female. "Now, Shu. Ye Zhenqiu wrote two big words of displeasure all over his face, and his fingers lightly tapped on the table of the tea table, "Tell me, how long have you not been back to this house, and how long have you not played chess with me?" Your dad always wins me, I don't know how to respect the old man, it's boring! I love playing chess with you. It's nice to win you on the board! β
The corners of Ye Chengshu's mouth stiffened, "Old man, you should know, you can't get down to my dad, and my dad can't get down to me." β
"I know!" Ye Zhenqiu looked a little, and his face was reasonable, "But you know how to play courtier chess, even if I know that you deliberately let me win, I am very happy to play." β
