Young Master Liu looked in the direction outside the gate with a depressed expression.
If you don't come early, if you don't come late, but you come at this time, these uncles and brothers-in-law must be mentally ill! I finally asked for the opportunity, and finally waited until the sun went down. Is it easy for Master Yamamoto? I!
Liu Mingzhi took a few greeting cards from Liu Song's hand, looked through them and threw them back.
"If you don't see me, just tell me that this young master drank too much and will definitely come to apologize to you in the future!"
"Yes, Xiaosong resigns!"
"etc........."
"Master?"
Liu Mingzhi stared in the direction of the door and sighed quietly.
"If you don't come during the day, you have to wait until the sky is dim before you come to visit. I'm afraid that the visitor is unkind. Several people came together and were afraid that they wouldn't leave without seeing me! In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, I'd better take him to the main hall, please give me orders. Make two pots of good tea and prepare it!"
"Yes, Xiaosong will go right away!"
"Xiaojiu!"
"Master, please give me your orders!"
"Get a basin of water to sober up. It's rude to meet guests smelling of alcohol. Who told these gentlemen to be tough in the background!"
"Xiaojiu will be back soon, sir, wait a moment!"
After Xiaojiu left, Liu Mingzhi walked towards the backyard, intending to change his clothes. Liu Mingzhi vaguely guessed the purpose of Prince Qing Li Baihong's visit, and he was afraid that it had something to do with the feud in February of the following year.
"Husband, what's wrong? Why do you look so sad?"
Qi Yun was making the bed when she heard the footsteps and immediately came over and took the robe that her husband had taken off and put it on the hanger.
"Prince Qing and several of his princes came together. I'm afraid the people who came here are evil. It's strange that my husband is happy!"
"Ah?" Qi Yun looked blankly in the direction of the front yard: "What time is it now? It's long past the time to pay homage. The princes don't know the etiquette!"
"That's why my husband said it was evil. They came to visit us after dark. They were afraid of being seen and they did it deliberately to show it to interested people. But why are you arguing so much that Master Raben is in the water? It's bad luck!"
Qi Yun looked at Young Master Liu tentatively: "Husband, are you talking about His Highness the Crown Prince?"
"Who else is there besides the prince? These lords are going to join the fiefdom soon. After they leave, the prince will no longer be a threat in the capital. It can be said that he has peace of mind!"
"Since it's His Majesty's order for them to come find your husband, it's useless for you to do anything!"
"They just want to trick Master Ben into seducing me. If they intercede with my husband and they don't have to go, the prince of the feudal lord will definitely resent me!"
"The key is, husband, you can't say it!"
"It's impossible for a few of them to go back and make up nonsense. I am outnumbered and can't argue with anyone. When the time comes, the prince will still have a grudge. In addition, my husband has not taken sides now. What do you think my husband should do in the court in the future? How difficult it is! Damn it, my family is not the owner of things, and before I left, I wanted to show off to this young master!"
Qi Yun's face turned cold: "This is too despicable, how can anyone be so scheming! Why do they have to drag you into the water with so many princes and princes!"
"They are young, and they are not stupid. They all know that as long as I don't fall in the middle, I will be the pillar of support in the future. This is just eye medicine for me!"
"Damn you, if you want to be the crown prince, you can just fight for it on your own merits. Your husband must be involved!"
"Prince Qing is scheming but easily impulsive. The fourth prince Li Yunping has a good reputation in the capital. The seventh prince Li Zhi is not a big threat because the third prince follows suit. The fifth prince Li Hao has been in contact with his husband in the clan mansion. Young master, there are very few rumors about him in the capital! Prince Qing, the fourth prince, and the seventh prince don’t have this kind of scheming, they not only pretend to be husbands but also disgust the prince!”
"You mean this was the fifth prince's idea?"
"I don't know! We know very little about the fifth prince's husband. It may be his idea, or it may not be his idea. It's impossible to be kind in a place like Zongren Mansion. If it wasn't his idea, The idea is the idea of some old people in the court!"
Qi Yun's face was a little sad: "Husband, I'm sorry, I was too ignorant before. I thought that being an official meant making decisions for the people, upholding righteousness and working hard for the common people of the world. I was too stupid, and it was all because of me that I cheated on you." Forced to this point, Yun'er is wrong!"
"Don't talk nonsense, it's not your business. Even if the old man can't pass the test without you as his husband, the old man is still afraid that the Liu family won't be able to stand up to him. In the future, the Liu family's family property will be used as a wedding dress for others. In the end, everyone has no choice but to do so. Difficulties! Don’t have any psychological burden!"
"Well, I know!"
Qi Yun took a clean robe and put it on Young Master Liu: "Be careful, since they are here they must be well prepared!"
"Don't worry, my husband is capable of pretending to be confused! You should go to bed early. My husband will rest in Lian'er's room today!"
"Okay, I won't leave the door open for you!"
"Master, the water is here!"
Liu Mingzhi washed away the smell of alcohol on his body, waved to Qi Yun and walked towards the main hall of the front yard. He couldn't get rid of these difficult guys, so he could only pretend to be confused and get along with him. !
"Second brother, fourth brother, fifth brother, seventh brother, we just drank a few glasses of wine and kept you brothers waiting for a long time. Don't be offended by the rudeness. This is a family name that clearly aims at different positions above the court! "
Prince Qing smiled and nodded without getting up: "Brother-in-law, you are proud of the spring breeze. Of course it is understandable that you drink a few more drinks to be my brother when you are happy. Brother-in-law, you just don't think it is presumptuous to come to visit me at this time!"
The fourth prince and three brothers stood up from their chairs: "The three younger brothers have met my brother-in-law!"
As the elder brother, it was natural for Prince Qing not to stand up and salute, but as brothers-in-law, the three of them did not dare to do so.
Not to mention the favor the brother-in-law in front of them received from their father, even the prince was sometimes jealous of him.
Since their father inherited the great treasure, they have never heard of anyone's concubine who dared to put a weapon to the neck of a royal family member and a feudal lord without any harm.
If the concubine is like this, what should she do if she is the eldest wife?
But all the prerequisites lie in the brother-in-law in front of you, nothing more than two words!
Favored!
It is obvious that during the Qing Dynasty of the Qing Dynasty, the eldest prince Liu Mingzhi was able to obtain the title of regent. According to the rules, the prince was not a three-year-old child. Liu Mingzhi was regarded as a very popular minister if he received the title of auxiliary minister.
The regent is in charge of the government!
It can be said that during the Qing Dynasty, the power of the third brother-in-law reached an unprecedented height in the Ruian Dynasty!
"Brothers, please sit down. Don't be polite when you get here. Just treat yourself as if you're at your own home. Come and serve some good tea!"
"Thank you, brother-in-law!"
"Second brother, three brothers, please have tea. A cup of coarse tea is disrespectful. A poor family cannot compare to your rich family. Brothers, please don't laugh!"
Prince Qing fiddled with the tea leaves with a tea lid and raised a faint smile at the corner of his mouth: "Brother-in-law, you are joking. Except for the Marquis of Guannei, who else in the capital dares to say that your family is poor, let alone the income from those glazed mirrors? Most of the families in the capital are jealous!"
Liu Mingzhi looked at the tea in his hand quietly for a while. Prince Qing had changed a lot after not seeing him for two years. He was completely different from the Prince Qing in his impression.
"The second brother was joking. Glazed mirrors are not a business without capital. Although I made some money, most of the money went to the suppliers. I just earned money from the shop. The family is big and the business is big. Although I have time to go there, The treatment of the Third Division of Yitong is not enough to open a mansion."
"See for yourselves, this mansion now is still the mansion that my father gave me when I was granted the title of Tongyuan Duke. Later, I was promoted to Tongyuan Uncle, Wanhu Marquis, and even Ding Guogong. I still live in a baron-standard mansion. My family The difficulties of having a family, it looks like a good time, but I can't even get thirty thousand taels of silver in my hand. The third princess was still complaining when she was eating. Cheng Gan needs nutrition and can't even afford a wet nurse. I’m saying that I don’t know how to ask my father for more salary!”
The four of them looked at each other, and the fifth brother, Li Hao, rolled his eyes: "Brother-in-law, if life is really so difficult, why don't you accompany us brothers to the palace to meet our father? The four of us brothers have to do it no matter what. Please come back with some salary!"
"What the fifth brother said makes sense, and the second brother also agrees!"
"Of course we two brothers have no objections. The third sister loved my two brothers the most before she came out of the cabinet. We are willing to do our best for my brother-in-law!"
"This... I understand the kindness of these brothers. How dare I make the decision without permission if the third princess doesn't speak up!"
