Under Liu Mingzhi's guidance, the brother and sister Liu Mingzhi cleverly avoided the topic they had just talked about. They chatted about some interesting experiences and walked into the study together, talking and laughing.
Young Master Liu looked at his younger sister Liu Xuan curiously trying to flip through the decorations in his study, and reached out to hold Liu Xuan's wrist.
"Little sister, wait a moment."
Liu Xuan paused and turned to look at Young Master Liu in confusion, wondering why he stopped her.
In the past, when I came to my eldest brother's study, I always wanted to do whatever I wanted, and my eldest brother would never ask.
Liu Mingzhi let go of Liu Xuan's wrist and wandered around the study with a calm expression. After a while, Liu Dashao walked to the chair with a dozen hairs in his hand and sat down, clamping the hair aside. Only in the book did Liu Xuan smile twice.
"You can read it now. Don't make it a mess for me. I have to clean it up again."
Liu Xuan's beautiful eyes looked at the strands of hair stuck in the book in astonishment, and she couldn't help but swallow her saliva twice.
"Brother, you are a little too careful in our own home. As for putting so much hair?"
"You don't understand this. As the saying goes, you never go wrong with caution. Sometimes it's the most inconspicuous things that can be the most deadly.
There is a saying in particular that is so good! "
Liu Xuan looked at her elder brother's pointed eyes and asked curiously: "What common saying?"
“It’s hard to guard against house thieves day and night, so even in our own home, sometimes we can’t guarantee that the secrets that big brother wants to hide will be foolproof.
I don’t know, Xuan’er, what do you think of this sentence? "
Liu Xuan looked at Mr. Liu's somewhat thoughtful gaze, her delicate face stiffened slightly and then returned to normal.
"Brother, you are just too cautious. Our father seems to be extremely kind, but he has never been merciful to those who dare to have evil intentions towards the master's family.
There were quite a few of those sacks in the warehouse that year.
In such a heavily guarded place, what kind of thieves could be plotting evil! "
Liu Mingzhi lowered his eyebrows and chuckled twice, then picked up a piece of paper and silently read it again.
"You're right, maybe the eldest brother is really too suspicious.
I hope so, big brother just wants to be careful and make no big mistakes.
You can take a look at it at will. Once the elder brother has finished processing this information, we will go to meet the old man and your second brother together. "
Liu Xuan raised her eyes and glanced at the thick stack of information in front of Young Master Liu, and walked over slowly.
"Brother, the things in your study haven't been changed for many years. Little sister, I still look the same. You and your second brother haven't seen each other for so long. I'm afraid that second brother can't wait any longer. How about I help you sort out this information? Bar.
You can't even trust your little sister, are you afraid that I will leak the secret about you? "
Liu Mingzhi looked at Liu Xuan, who was sitting at the table with a slightly coquettish expression, and smiled without hesitation and shook his head.
"How could it be? How could the eldest brother not even believe you? If you want to help the eldest brother, just help him for a while. Just pick out the information that you think is not important and put it aside. After meeting your second brother, the eldest brother can come back as you like. Just review it."
"Yeah, yeah, Xuan'er, listen to big brother."
Liu Xuan stood up and picked up the kettle on the stove nearby. She poured a basin of water alternately between hot and cold. She washed her hands slightly and then sat back down. She picked up a small stack of papers and read them carefully.
After a while of tea, there was still only the faint sound of turning paper in the study.
The brother and sister carried out their actions in silence.
I don't know how long it took, but when Liu Xuan was halfway through the rice paper in front of her, Liu Xuan's delicate body, which was reviewing the newspaper strips, trembled slightly.
Lifting her eyes and glancing at the elder brother opposite who was concentrating on the note, Liu Xuan'e's eyebrows twitched twice and she rubbed the top piece of paper in front of her with imperceptible movements.
Liu Xuan looked at the few words written on the note with surprise and uneasiness, her movements seemed slightly unnatural.
As for why Liu Xuan was surprised and why she seemed uneasy, only the person involved, Liu Xuan, knew it best.
He glanced at the other side again, who was engrossed in checking the information and didn't notice his elder brother at all. Liu Xuan fiddled with a piece of paper a few times, then flicked it with his fingers and entered the sleeve that wrapped his white wrist.
The slight movement was fleeting. Liu Xuan let out a silent breath and then immersed herself in helping her elder brother read the information on the note.
Liu Xuan, who was lucky, didn't notice that the elder brother opposite him, who had been staring at the love newspaper with all his concentration, had a slight smile on his lips after his sneaky little move.
But Liu Mingzhi didn't expose anything, and still silently looked through the information in his hand.
After a long time.
After about one or two sticks of incense, or maybe half an hour, the sound of boiling tea could be heard in the room.
Liu Mingzhi stood up and moved the copper kettle on the stove aside. Looking at the only three or five pieces of information left on the desk, he raised his hands and stretched.
"Xuan'er, the remaining contents are probably insignificant matters. It doesn't matter if I wait until brother looks at them in the evening. Let's take a rest. Let's go to the inner courtyard to meet dad later."
Liu Xuan, who was sorting the slips of paper, stopped and pushed the few slips of paper to the front. Like her elder brother, she raised her arms to stretch her aching waist, and a sweet sound came from her lips. Groaning, Liu Xuan slowly stood up.
"Xuan'er is really exhausted. I don't know how you, brother, could endure being bored in the study for two days in a row.
If it were Xuan'er, let alone one day, Xuan'er wouldn't be able to bear it and would go crazy. "
Liu Mingzhi flicked Liu Xuan's white forehead with his finger: "Brother doesn't want to work so hard, but as the saying goes, those who are able work hard.
The eldest brother can only work tirelessly.
Unlike you who have not yet left the government, the eldest brother also has a big business after establishing his own business. For the sake of the whole family, the eldest brother has no choice.
When you get married in the future, you will understand your sister-in-law's hard work.
How can it be so easy to take care of a big family? "
"Well, well, you're preaching again. Xuan'er's head is about to explode."
"Haha...Okay, okay, if you don't want to hear what I'm saying, let's just wash the ink stains on your hands. Let's go to the old man's place."
"good."
Liu Mingzhi watched Liu Xuan go to the stove to prepare warm water for washing her hands. He slightly closed his abdomen and opened the drawer. He took out a handkerchief from a brocade box in the drawer and rubbed it in his hands for a while.
Glancing slightly at Liu Xuan who was looking at Liu Yao and starting to wash her hands, Liu Mingzhi looked at the dry and black corner of the handkerchief, raised his hand and put it under the tip of his nose and sniffed it gently.
Smelling the almost imperceptible fragrance on the handkerchief, Liu Mingzhi frowned twice subconsciously.
The faint fragrance is so familiar.
Liu Mingzhi put down his handkerchief, squatted on the chair and fell into silence with deep eyes.
"Brother?"
"Brother!"
"Huh? It's washed so quickly? Have you washed it thoroughly?"
Liu Xuan raised her ten green-white and tender slender jade fingers and waved them twice in front of Young Master Liu.
"It must have been cleaned. Xuan'er is not someone who doesn't care about cleanliness! Brother, why are you so dazed when you are so well behaved!"
"Just wash it off. Just wait a moment and let me clean it too."
"Okay, but you have to hurry up. Don't be as tidy as a big girl like me. Otherwise, you won't be able to scream as a stinky man."
"Stinky girl, I know, I'll be fine soon."
Liu Mingzhi turned his back to Liu Xuan and began to adjust the water temperature. Looking at the burning stove, Liu Mingzhi took out the exquisite and perfect silk handkerchief from his sleeve and pondered for a moment, then threw the handkerchief into the fire and then started to clean his fingers. Ink marks on.
"Well! Brother, what did you burn?"
"It's nothing. Some things that shouldn't exist in this world will be a disaster if they are kept. It's better to let them disappear as soon as possible."
Liu Mingzhi bent down to adjust the air outlet on the stove, then turned and walked towards Liu Xuan who was waiting at the door.
"Let's go and see the old man first!"
Liu Xuan nodded with a strange look in her eyes: "Okay, listen to Big Brother. Why does Xuan'er think Big Brother is weird?"
Liu Mingzhi locked the door and walked slowly towards the inner courtyard.
"Is there any? To say it's weird, I think there's a sentence that's quite weird."
"What words?"
"The spirit like an orchid will never change, and the heart like an orchid will never change."
Liu Xuan, who was following Liu Mingzhi, suddenly trembled and smiled unnaturally.
"This sentence that the elder brother read is so beautiful. I don't know what it is describing?"
"Kong-gu-you-lan!"
