Chapter 579: Hermit, Phoenix Nest ('to jojoo)
Liu Mingzhi rubbed his forehead and returned home: "Good wine can also be intoxicating!"
"Liu Song, where is the old man?"
"Master, I'm in the study reading the account books!"
"I know, go ahead and get busy! Let someone boil some water for me. I'm going to take a bath later. The young master can just go and take a look at the old man's place!"
"Yes, little one, please resign!"
Liu Mingzhi walked to the inner courtyard with a sullen face, and knocked on the door of Liu Zhi'an's study room where he settled accounts: "Old man, can I come in?"
Liu Zhi'an's calm voice came from the study: "Come in!"
Liu Mingzhi pushed the door open and went in. Liu Zhi'an had just put down the brush in his hand and closed the account book and looked at Liu Mingzhi who was a little out of his mind: "Have you been drinking?"
"Drink a little!"
Liu Zhi'an nodded and motioned for Liu Mingzhi to sit down: "Liu Yuan, go get someone to prepare some ginseng tea for the young master to relieve his hangover!"
"Yes, sir!"
After Liu Yuan left, Liu Mingzhi looked at Liu Zhi'an closely: "Old man, I have something to discuss with you..."
I don't know how long it took, Liu Mingzhi kept talking about Liu Zhi'an's expression, and the listeners didn't change, but I don't know when Liu Zhi'an's expression became extremely happy.
Seeing the eldest son's depressed look, he sighed softly, stroked his beard and stood up: "I have finally grown up!"
"Old man, I..."
Liu Zhi'an opened the window and stared at the night sky: "Do you feel that your safety is threatened?"
"Yes, I feel very uneasy right now. I don't want to be like a bug that can be crushed at will in the hands of others. I want to control my own destiny. I don't seek to dominate the world, but only seek to protect myself!"
"Do you know how long I have been waiting for this day? Ten years, ten years of waiting, and you have finally grown up!"
"Master, here comes the ginseng tea!"
"Put it down, young master. Go and invite the madam. No one is allowed to come near the backyard."
"yes!"
Liu Mingzhi looked at Liu Zhian blankly.
"What's wrong!"
"You finally have the qualifications to start your own business. I have been worried about how a lazy character like you will survive on your own one day without any foundation, so I have been waiting for the day when you grow up! "
"Start your own business? Old man, I don't want to start your own business?"
"Scholars, farmers, industry and merchants, although the status of merchants has been improved to a certain extent because of Taizu, they are still at the lowest level. Now you are a noble, but you are the eldest son of a merchant family. Therefore, if you do not establish your own business, merchants The name of a disciple will become a constraint on your future development, do you understand?"
"Even if this is the case, my son does not have to start his own business. Old man, you know that I value family ties more. If I leave the Liu family for the sake of my future, this is not my intention!"
"Setting up one's own family is not about breaking away from the Liu family, but establishing a lineage relationship. After establishing one's own family, your Liu family, Liu Mingzhi, is the Liu family in the capital. It has a lineage relationship with the Jiangnan Liu family but no direct relationship. This is to protect you. The Jiangnan Liu family It is the foundation for your development, and Mingli will be dominated by the Liu family in the capital."
"Old man, I don't want to start my own business. This is not the result I want!"
"When you want to form your own power, you must establish your own branch and break away from the Liu family. Do you understand that there is no room for two tigers in one mountain?"
"I......."
"Master, what do you want me to do with you?"
Mrs. Liu walked in with her heavy body, and her abdomen was bulging day by day. She thought it was almost time to give birth!
"Madam, sit down quickly!"
Mrs. Liu sat on the chair and looked at Young Master Liu across from her: "Zhi'er, have you made your father angry again?"
"Mom, am I the kind of person who doesn't care about the importance of things? How can I make the old man angry every day?"
Liu Zhi'an sighed: "Madam, it's time to take out the gift for Zhi'er. This child has finally grown up!"
A glimmer of light flashed across Mrs. Liu's soft eyes, and she looked at Liu Mingzhi and looked at Liu Zhian questioningly.
Liu Zhi'an nodded tightly: "Zhi'er wants to form his own self-protection force!"
Liu Yuan quietly exited the study and wandered outside to prevent anyone from taking a step closer to the study!
Mrs. Liu stood up gently and walked to Young Master Liu and pinched Liu Mingzhi's cheek: "Zhi'er, have you thought about it? Are you really going to form your own force?"
Liu Mingzhi pondered for a while and nodded heavily: "Mom, I've thought about it, destiny is only destiny if it is held in one's own hands. Being controlled by others is like an ant!"
Liu Zhi'an took out a sandalwood box from under the desk and put it on the desk with a smile: "Madam, he has figured it out, why should we stop here? After all, you have to walk the road by yourself, don't look back at the footprints , He will not understand the hard work of walking step by step. You have paved the road for him and stepped on it firmly. When he looks back, he will not have the slightest sense of accomplishment except for the smooth road of Tongtian Avenue!"
Mrs. Liu sighed melancholy, walked to Liu Zhi'an's open window, took out a jade flute from the cuff of Su Xiu's skirt, and started playing.
The sound of the flute, melodious and melodious with a hint of murderous intent, cut through the tranquility of the night and spread around.
When Liu Mingzhi didn't understand why, a sound broke through the air, and then the sound of whistling clothes entered the room, and several green but calm voices came!
"The hermit of the Bai family, An Yi... An Ba!"
"The Bai family's Fengchao Fengyi...Fengba!"
"Greetings, young lady, uncle, master!"
Mrs. Liu sat upright on the chair, her usually soft voice was indescribably majestic: "Come in and talk!"
Liu Mingzhi stood up in surprise and looked at the door, wondering who it was, the hermit, and what Phoenix Nest meant!
In the blink of an eye, Liu Mingzhi saw the door open, and eight men and eight women walked into the study in an orderly manner. The eight young men were all around eighteen or nineteen years old, and the tallest one should not be more than twenty. Five years old.
As for the eight women, they were all covered with a layer of gauze, so it was unclear how they looked. However, judging from their figures, they were all top-notch. Although they were wearing veils, they had different temperaments in every gesture.
They are both green and immature, charming and enchanting.
"Mom, who are they?"
"Let your father tell you!"
"Old man?"
Liu Zhi'an glanced at the sixteen people who came in and sat on chairs and took a sip of tea to moisten their throats.
"Dalong has four major families, Jiangnan, Liuxi, Xiyun, East China Sea and White Desert in the north. Among them, we left home and are richest in the world. The wealth accumulated over several generations, especially after my father worked hard to govern, has skyrocketed. It is said that we are as rich as any country." This is not to exaggerate Haikou. Among them, the Bai family of Donghai is good at martial arts. The Bai family of Donghai is in the Thirteenth House of Donghai, commanding the various forces in the martial arts world in Donghai to firmly occupy the position of leader. At most, Dao Yahai is evenly matched with them, but since Ba Dao passed away , Dao Yahai has to be lower than the Bai family."
"We are a wealthy family, and the power of the Northwest Yun family and the Zhang family are in the military. You know all this, right?"
"I know about 7788! The four major families are connected by the same spirit. My aunt is married to the Yun family, and my mother is married to you. I don't understand the rest!"
"In the first month after you were born, your mother begged your grandpa to train a group of dead warriors of similar age for you. She gathered a thousand orphans with excellent bones from all over the world and trained them secretly!"
"Then they are these one thousand people?"
"That's right, all sixteen of them are no more than twenty-five years old, and their strength is among the eighth and ninth grades!"
