Scientific cultivation of immortals, hard work to become rich

Chapter 443 The Big Family Has Many Rules

This old man is the real master of the Xiao family, that is, Xiao Yuncheng's grandfather, Xiao Qingyuan.

He was sitting on a red carved chair, sipping tea with slightly squinted eyes.

Even though everyone was looking at his face right now, the old man's face did not change at all, as if he didn't notice the confrontation just now.

On the contrary, a middle-aged lady who was standing beside him and cutting tea for him raised her head and looked over.

Bring tea to Ye Zhen with both hands: "Miss Ye, please drink tea."

The lady looked at her benevolent face, and her overall attire seemed to be very low-key, but with Ye Zhen's sharp eyesight, she could see the wealth in it at a glance.

A middle-aged lady who can regard everyone in the metaphysics world as a treasure of heaven and earth, the South Sea Merman Bead, casually wearing it in her hair as jewelry, is certainly not an ordinary middle-aged lady.

Ye Zhen didn't take the cup of tea, but pretended to hesitate and said, "Are you?"

Does this lady think that she is young and thin-skinned, so she can be fooled and bullied?So you want to use the classic house fighting method to deal with her?
Ye Zhen glanced calmly at the teacup she was holding in her hand, and quickly recalled in her mind the bloody dramas and classic house fight novels that she, Ye Xiaowan and Miss Zhao Yun had watched together in the past. in the plot.

Don't panic, hold on.

"I'm Yuncheng's second cousin. If Ms. Ye doesn't dislike it, come with Yuncheng and call me second aunt." The middle-aged lady holding the tea, that is, Aunt Xiao, was not angry when Ye Zhen didn't pick up the tea cup. , but gave her a kind smile——

"Miss Ye is exhausted from traveling all the way, I'm afraid she's tired, let's take a break with some tea first." Aunt Xiao spoke very kindly, and treated Ye Zhen with a very cordial and enthusiastic attitude.

I don't know how many needles were hidden and how many holes were dug in those words: "Although our Xiao family has rules, Miss Ye is the first time to come back, and she is the first girl brought back by this child Yuncheng. , it doesn't matter much..."

While talking, she smiled and handed the teacup in front of Ye Zhen.

Ye Zhen also smiled.

For a well-behaved family, how can a junior let the elders serve tea?Naturally, the younger generation should take the initiative to greet the elders present and pour tea. Maybe the rules are more serious, and they have to kneel down to offer tea when they first enter the door.

Besides, she was the first girl brought home by Xiao Yuncheng... Then since there was the first girl brought back, there might be a second, a third... The first one, of course, is nothing special up.

He also said that some rules don't matter, that's because...she is not from the Xiao family, and they wouldn't treat her as a member of the Xiao family!

Look, how many layers of complex meanings are expressed in these few words?

Tsk, this Aunt Xiao is still very good at talking, but she is more than a little bit better than the old man who spoke before.

is a smart guy.

Ye Zhen, on the other hand, likes dealing with smart people the most...

She suddenly raised her head to look at Xiao Yuncheng, frowned slightly, and deliberately blamed: "It's all your fault, you scared me before you came, making me think that you are a wealthy family of the Xiao family, a real rich family, with many rules, how would you know, It turns out... when your Xiao family is entertaining guests with the elders, the juniors can also interrupt at will..."

After finishing speaking, she glanced around with subtle eyes. There are quite a few people who can be regarded as elders of Aunt Xiao sitting in this room. When is it the turn of this junior, Aunt Xiao, to speak?
What's more, in name today, she is a guest invited by the old man of the Xiao family.

Right now, Mr. Xiao, the elder, hasn't spoken yet, and this Aunt Xiao wants to give Ye Zhen a run for her money. What kind of rules is this for a big family?

Those wealthy families who claim to be rich, what are they most particular about?
Naturally, rules and decency.

Sure enough, when Ye Zhen opened her mouth, the old Mr. Xiao who was tasting, raised his eyelids and gave Aunt Xiao a faint look.

If you are not powerful, you will be angry.

Aunt Xiao's hand serving the tea froze slightly.

She is also a smart person, as soon as Ye Zhen opened her mouth, she knew it was a mistake.

Unexpectedly, this wild girl who grew up in an orphanage would be so sharp-tongued!
As early as half a year ago, when Xiao Yuncheng suddenly wanted to invest in an orphanage, she had investigated Ye Zhen's information from various channels.

At the beginning, this Aunt Xiao really didn't pay attention to a girl who grew up in an orphanage, even though Ye Zhen had already been admitted to the Xuan Academy at that time, showing her talent.

Although she is a married woman of the Xiao family, her surname is Xiao. Her family background and class made this former eldest lady of the Xiao family think highly of herself.

In her opinion, Ye Zhen is just an ordinary girl with a bit of talent in metaphysics and a bit of beauty. How many such young girls can the Xiao family find?

Xiao Yuncheng chased him to the orphanage, probably just for fun.

Aunt Xiao didn't take Ye Zhen to heart, even at the beginning when she watched the excitement from the sidelines, she would occasionally add fuel to the flames.

Because she also has a son, a son with good cultivation talent.

One, if Xiao Yuncheng is abolished, it is not impossible to take over the position of Patriarch, an excellent son.

But what happened later made this Aunt Xiao vigilant.

Although she can't practice, but she comes from the first family of metaphysics, so she also understands the affairs of metaphysics very well.

Later, the strength Ye Zhen showed and Xiao Yuncheng's attitude towards Ye Zhen made her more uneasy.

Coupled with the news that her best friend secretly sent from Liu's house a few days ago... This made her really anxious.

——She has been planning for so long, and she must not let Ye Zhen ruin it.

The Xiao family must not fall into Xiao Yuncheng's hands.

Although the current head of the family is only her cousin, he still has some affection for her and her son who often see each other.

But Xiao Yuncheng grew up abroad, and has never been close to them, the Xiao family, and the number of times he met her cousin, she can count on two hands.

Once Xiao Yuncheng takes power, how can the Xiao family have her voice!

She didn't dare to confront Xiao Yuncheng directly, so she planned to start with Ye Zhen, but right now...

Aunt Xiao knew that she was reckless this time, and she might even have been used unintentionally to become the knife in someone else's hand.

She silently stepped aside, lowered her head and lowered her eyes, and began to quietly observe the changes in the expressions of everyone in the hall.

Who is plotting against her behind her back?
Sure enough, seeing her being displeased by the old man and retreating in embarrassment, the corners of many people's mouths curled up, as if without her, their useless descendants would be looked up to by the old man.

Aunt Xiao lowered her eyes, and the mocking look in her eyes flashed past.

At this moment, Ye Zhen had already sat down next to Xiao Yuncheng, and the old man finally put down the white porcelain teacup tremblingly like an old man.

"Miss Ye was joking, now is a new society, everyone is equal, we are all the same ordinary people, where are the rich and powerful?" The old man said with a smile, looking happy.

"You are always right." Ye Zhen nodded with a smile, "Although we are all ordinary people, there are still rules that should be followed. How do you say that - no rules, no rules?"

"What's more, the state owns the state law, and the family has family rules..."

In order to satisfy the big family, Dean Xiaoye took out a sharpened knife and hustled at the pigs and sheep, oh no, it was the momentum of educating the little ones in the orphanage, and started the law popularization lectures in a calm manner.

In the past year, in order to be a good director of the orphanage and prevent the children from going astray in the future, she has learned a lot in this regard.

Now there is a place for it to come in handy - no matter how many rules and regulations your Xiao family has, can they still surpass the laws and regulations formulated by the father of the country?
