On December 28, the fifth year of Dalong's reign, outside the gate of Liu Mansion in the south of the Yangtze River.
Liu Zhi'an put his hands inside his sleeves and looked at the smiling Young Master Liu standing in front of the door and the many wives, concubines and children beside him with a stunned expression, his eyes showing a mixture of surprise and joy.
He never expected that his eldest son would come back to his hometown in Jiangnan with his entire family to celebrate the New Year this year.
"Old man, what's wrong with you? When you see this young master and my whole family returning to my hometown, are you so excited that you can't even speak?
You can't do this! It would be troublesome if you get excited all of a sudden and never get up again. I have no plans to show mourning to you yet! "
Liu Zhian reacted, and the joy in his eyes quickly disappeared after hearing Young Master Liu's words, and he glared at Young Master Liu fiercely.
Damn it, you can't spit out ivory from a dog's mouth.
The Chinese New Year is coming soon, so it’s okay if we don’t say some auspicious words of congratulations after the reunion, but we won’t use such depressing words right from the start, right?
"Did you have breakfast in the toilet?"
Liu Zhi'an replied angrily to Young Master Liu's retort, and Liu Zhi'an happily walked towards Liu Chengzhi, his brothers, sisters and others.
"My good grandchildren, my good granddaughters, we haven't seen you for such a long time. Do you miss grandpa?"
"My grandson pays his respects to grandpa. Grandpa, everything goes well."
"Granddaughter pays her respects to grandpa. May grandpa live a long and healthy life."
"Grandpa, I miss you too."
"Me too, me too, I miss grandpa too."
"Not only do I miss my grandpa, I also miss my grandma, uncle and aunt."
"I also……"
After Liu Chengzhi, Liu Yaoyao and other grown-up and sensible children bowed respectfully, a group of half-grown children gathered directly in front of Liu Zhian's grandfather, who kept shouting.
Liu Zhian Laohuai looked at the large group of chirping grandchildren and granddaughters in front of him with joy, and patted their heads one by one with a smile.
"Okay, okay! Ok, okay! Grandpa misses you too.
It's so cold outside, are all of you frozen? Come home and ask your grandma to get you some hot soup to warm yourself up. "
"Thank you, grandpa, let's go in first."
"Okay, let's go. Run slower and don't fall."
"I understand, Grandpa, see you later."
After a group of little guys chased each other into the gate, Qi Yun and other beauties lined up in sequence and bowed to Liu Zhi'anfu.
"Daughters-in-law, please greet your father. He is well."
"Okay, okay, no courtesy at all, no courtesy at all."
"Thank you dad."
"Although the climate in Jinling is not as cold as the capital city, it is still cold enough. You have worked hard all the way. Come home and have a rest."
"Dad, please go first."
"Let's go together. We don't have such vulgar etiquette in our own home. Let's go in and warm up."
Liu Zhi'an smiled lightly and greeted all his daughters-in-law and grown-up grandchildren. The granddaughters walked toward the house, but they ignored Young Master Liu who stood aside and felt lonely in the cold wind.
"Heh... Bah!"
When passing by Young Master Liu, Liu Zhi'an spat in front of Young Master Liu without any grace, and then continued to happily lead a group of juniors into the mansion as if nothing had happened. .
Young Master Liu looked at the filth next to his toes with a look of disgust, stepped aside and followed him, shouting.
"Old man, don't be crazy. As soon as I return to Beijing, I will tell the world that all people in the world are strictly prohibited from spitting. Otherwise, I will be fined ten thousand taels of silver.
I don’t believe this, young master. I can’t cure you yet! "
"Liu Yuan, immediately close the door for me and let the dogs out, and prevent some bastard that I don't know from entering our door without authorization.
First they let the dogs bite him, then they beat him with sticks and threw him into the street, beating him to death and carrying him in his pocket. "
The old housekeeper Liu Yuan looked at the stiff-faced Young Master Liu and shook his head helplessly, then welcomed Young Master Liu into the mansion with a smile.
"Master, what do you want me to say? You two have had enough. When will you repay the injustice?"
Young Master Liu scratched his neck carelessly and watched as Liu Yuan deliberately raised his voice and spoke loudly.
"Uncle Liu, don't worry, retribution will end sooner or later. After all, a certain old guy won't be able to be crazy for a few years anymore, right?
Uncle Liu, these words came from my mouth and entered your ears. Heaven knows and the earth knows that you know and I know, but I must not let a third person know these words.
You must help me keep the secret. You can go on to rest. I will go back to visit my mother first. "
Young Master Liu looked at Liu Zhi'an's trembling back, laughed a few times and hurried towards the inner courtyard of Liu Mansion.
"Brother!"
"Ming Li."
Liu Mingli smiled lightly and nodded: "Brother, you really came back in time. I thought you would not be able to return home until at least the New Year!"
"Brother Wei also relied on the convenience of being able to work quickly through official channels, and finally got back in time.
I told you to wait for me to come back together, but you didn't listen. "
"Hey, I'm afraid that I might be delayed along the way. Just come back. Just come back."
"Where's mother?"
"It should be in the inner courtyard. I'm about to go there."
"That's right, let's go together."
"Okay, brother, please go first."
Young Master Liu rolled his eyes casually, grabbed Liu Mingli's shoulders and walked towards the corridor.
"You brat, just pretend and let's go together."
"Hehehe, I'm not afraid of being rude in front of my eldest brother, the emperor!"
"Nonsense, no matter how big brother is the king of a country, he is also your biological big brother. Why do you have to be so polite with your own big brother? What about this guy Mingjie?"
"She must be bored in the study reading. I don't know for sure. I'll just ask our old man later."
"Really or not, is this kid working so hard now?"
"It's hard to tell. It's true that I was reading a book, but it's hard to tell what kind of book I was reading."
"Hahaha, this is in line with this boy's character!
By the way, is this girl Xuan'er back? The Chinese New Year is coming in two or three days, so it's almost time for her to get home, right? "
Liu Mingli's face froze, and he smiled bitterly at Young Master Liu and shook his head.
Young Master Liu frowned slightly and looked at his second brother's somewhat downcast expression with confusion: "What's wrong? Did something happen?"
"No, no, nothing happened. The main reason is that my little sister may not come back to celebrate the New Year this year."
"Huh? What's going on?"
"I don't know what Xuan'er's situation is now. I just know that she sent a letter home to her parents, saying that she will most likely not come back to celebrate the New Year this year.
No, she has not returned home until today! In all likelihood, I won’t come back, and I may have to spend this festive season in a foreign country. "
Young Master Liu pursed his lips and remained silent for a long time. He gradually suppressed some of his thoughts and patted his second brother on the shoulder happily.
"Maybe this girl doesn't want to be a stranger in a foreign land. Maybe something happened and she couldn't come back in time, or maybe she's too far away from her hometown and doesn't have enough time to come back.
Since she has written a letter to her family saying she is safe, it means that Xuan'er is fine now. As long as she is fine, everything else is not important.
Let's not talk about this anymore. Let's go visit my mother first. "
"Yes, what Brother said makes sense. As long as people are fine, other things really don't matter."
"Forget about Xuan'er, will Dai'er adapt to following you and Xin'er back to Aurous Hill? If there is any acclimatization problem, don't be careless.
When Jiang He and his siblings went to inspect the Western countries, they entrusted the girl Dai'er to his brother. If something went wrong with this girl, the eldest brother really didn't know how to explain it to Jiang He and his siblings. "
"Brother, don't worry, this girl is really happy!
I play and fight with my little brother and the children all day long, not to mention how healthy I am. "
"That's it, that's good. Then I'll feel relieved."
