"My son, Liu Mingzhi, pays homage to my mother. I wish her happiness, longevity and health."
"My little boy, Liu Ming, will meet my mother tomorrow. I wish my mother good fortune and a long life."
Madam Liu, who was exchanging greetings with Qi Yun and the other sisters, turned around hurriedly when she heard the greetings coming from the two younger brothers Liu.
Mrs. Liu saw Young Master Liu standing in front at a glance, and hurriedly walked over with kind eyes.
“Get up, get up, both of you.
Zhi'er, you are such a kid. Why didn't you send someone to tell your family before you got home?
Mother was still mumbling in the morning whether you could come back to celebrate the New Year this year like the second brother, the third brother, and the other two brothers. As a result, as soon as you turned around, you were already at the door of the house.
If a large group of chirping children hadn't rushed in, my mother would still be mumbling! "
"The child is unfilial and makes mother worried."
"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. Just get home safely. As long as you get home safely, I won't have to worry about you all the time."
"Thank you, mother."
"I heard from Yun'er and her sisters that Chengfeng didn't come back from Tsarist Russia this year? Not only did Chengfeng not come back, but you also sent Cheng Gan out on business again?"
Young Master Liu froze his arms and nodded helplessly when he saw his mother's disappointed look.
"Mom, the baby is also..."
"Okay, okay, my mother understands you, and I also know that you have your own difficulties, and you have your own difficulties.
I don’t blame you for my mother, I really don’t blame you for my mother!
It’s okay if we don’t come back this year. I hope our family can truly reunite next year.
As my mother grows old, I just want you to be by my side, and I don’t ask for anything else. "
"Hey, my dear, thank you mother for your understanding.
If Chengfeng does not lead the delegation back to Beijing next year, Hao'er will send someone to take the initiative to go to Tsarist Russia to see what is going on.
As long as they are safe and sound, make sure they come back to visit you as soon as possible. "
"As long as you have the knowledge in your heart, then you will no longer worry about me."
Liu Zhi'an looked at Young Master Liu who was extremely honest and filial in front of his wife, and his heart suddenly became unbalanced.
Why? Is your mother your biological mother? Isn’t dad the real dad? This attitude is a bit too high and low, right?
"Hey, you actually walked in. I guess you bit the dog before you came in, right?"
Mrs. Liu didn't know what happened to the two men outside the mansion earlier. She was unhappy when she saw Liu Zhi'an's shady behavior after seeing her eldest son.
"You bad old man? Are you looking for trouble this morning?
My son finally came back to celebrate the Spring Festival with us as an old couple. Who are you targeting when you speak so eccentrically?
If you have any dissatisfaction, tell me, what's the point of venting your anger on your son? "
Liu Zhi'an was immediately stunned by his wife. Seeing the erect eyebrows of his still charming wife, Liu Zhi'an pointed at Young Master Liu with a twitching corner of his mouth.
"I...I...Madam, it's obviously..."
"What are you pointing at? Do you still want to do something to your son?
After returning to Jiangnan, I haven't settled the matter with you yet, so you want to find some excuse for me to get angry, right? "
As soon as Mrs. Liu finished speaking, everyone in the hall immediately looked at Liu Zhian.
Grandpa is always getting stronger!
The sword is not old yet.
A man is a boy until he dies!
A role model for grandchildren.
My husband is right, the Liu family is indeed broken from the root.
Grandpa is shy.
Tsk tsk tsk, Yue'er feels ashamed.
…
Liu Zhi'an felt the weird looks from everyone, slammed the table and walked towards the back of the hall with a sigh.
"Well, it's obviously my father-in-law, and he insists on dragging me to Yanyu Tower to greet me, but I can't refuse the kindness, so I really can't go.
How can you blame me after what happened? There is no justice in heaven, there is really no justice in heaven!
I won’t tell you anymore, I have to go and catch my breath. "
Liu Zhi'an didn't know whether it was intentional or unintentional. Although his voice was not loud, it was just enough for everyone present to hear clearly.
In an instant, everyone's eyes suddenly turned to Qi Ya and Qi Yun sisters. The narrow-mindedness in their eyes was self-evident.
The two sisters Qi Ya and Qi Yun looked at each other and had to smile awkwardly, not knowing what to say.
Mrs. Liu originally wanted to help her eldest son out of the siege, but she didn't expect that she would end up embarrassing her two daughters-in-law so much that she hurriedly tried to smooth things over.
"Ya'er, Yun'er, that bad old man of yours knows all the nonsense, so don't take it to heart.
It must have been hard for you all hurrying back to Jiangnan. Go back and rest first. Mother will arrange a banquet for you right away. "
"Thank you, mother."
"Thank you grandma."
"It's time to go out and have a rest. Let's go to the room assigned to you."
"Zhi'er."
"mother?"
"Immediately arrange for someone to go to the in-laws' house and inform them about your return to Jinling for the New Year, and ask them to come over for a reunion."
"Mother, as soon as I entered the city, I asked Liu Song to inform my father-in-law and mother-in-law. Don't worry."
"Hey, it's good that we've already informed you. Then you should go back and rest first."
"Okay, mother, just prepare a little food. Don't be too extravagant."
"I know, these are all the dishes that have been prepared for the New Year, so they won't be too extravagant."
"That's fine. The kid will go and rest first. Thank you for your hard work, mother."
"Silly boy, go back and have a rest."
When it was getting late, the first reunion dinner for Young Master Liu and his party after returning home began in the main hall of the Liu family.
A few days passed quickly, as if the end of the fifth year of Taiping had arrived in the blink of an eye.
On the first day of the Lunar New Year in the sixth year of Dalong's reign, Young Master Liu was dragged out of bed by a group of wives and concubines while he was still sleeping soundly.
"Husband, it's getting late. Get up quickly and take the children to set off fireworks in the front yard.
After the fireworks are over, I will come back and have a reunion dinner with my parents. "
"Ah~~ Got it, just get up, just get up."
Young Master Liu yawned and began to put on the clothes that Qi Ya threw at him.
"My son, Liu Mingzhi, congratulations to the old man, may my mother have a happy New Year."
"My son, Liu Mingli, congratulations to my father and a happy new year to my mother."
"My son, Liu Mingjie, wishes my parents a happy New Year."
"Daughter-in-law Qi Yun."
"Li Yan."
"Wan Yan's polite words."
"Huyan Yunyao."
"Ziya."
"Murong Shan."
"My grandson Liu Chengzhi."
"Ryu Jung-ho."
"..."
"Granddaughter-in-law Li Jingyao."
"Granddaughter Liu Yiyi."
"Liu Feifei."
"..."
"I wish my grandparents a happy New Year, all the best, and longevity."
"Okay, okay, everyone, get up, everyone, get up. Grandpa and grandma will give you red envelopes. Line up and you'll have them all."
"Thank you, grandparents."
"No gifts, no gifts, just sit down and have a reunion dinner."
"Children, you don't need to be so polite in our own home, just sit down and eat."
On the tenth day of the first lunar month in the sixth year of Dalong's reign, Young Master Liu stopped on the high platform and looked back at the children playing in the garden, then turned and walked towards the Liu Mansion's martial arts field.
After Young Master Liu walked into the martial arts arena, he saw the figure of his old man Liu Zhian doing health-preserving boxing in the martial arts arena.
"Hey, is the old man doing health-preserving boxing again?
What's going on? What little goblin that eats people without spitting out bones has been provoked by my mother behind my young master’s back again?
I said, old man, you must take it easy.
With your body and bones, it wouldn't be a big deal if you let your waist hang out and recuperate for a while, but if that thing gets on a woman's belly, it would be a huge loss. "
"A dog can't spit out ivory things from its mouth. If it has something to say or farts, it can get away as far as it will go."
"It's nothing serious. I just want to tell you that I have to return to Beijing."
Liu Zhi'an's punching movement suddenly stopped, and he silently turned around and looked at Young Master Liu up and down for a moment.
"It's only the tenth day of the lunar month, why are you in a hurry to go back? I didn't abuse you!"
"He Shu was pregnant in early April last year, and she was due to give birth soon. If we were delayed for a few more days on the road, it would be more than a month after we returned to the capital.
She is pregnant at this age, and she is already pregnant with a baby.
I was afraid that something unexpected would happen if I wasn't around on the day she gave birth. Although the chance was slim, I still planned to rush back early to be by her side just in case. "
Liu Zhi comforted his beard and nodded in understanding for a moment.
"That's true. If you are pregnant at this age, you really need to take care of yourself.
Anyway, you have met the people you should meet these days, and you have not been rude when you visit the house. There are almost no trivial things that need you to deal with.
Since you need to rush back to the capital in time, then go back. Have you told your mother? "
"No, I have to inform you, the head of the family, first!"
"Come on, I know, go to your mother's place!"
"Okay, you can continue with your health-preserving punches."
After taking more than ten steps, Young Master Liu suddenly turned around and looked at Liu Zhi'an with a serious look on his face.
"Old man!"
"What are you doing again? Can't you tell me something at once?"
"You are already so old, so you should take it easy. What I said the day I first came back was not a joke for you.
I really haven’t planned to put mourning on you!
You, and my father-in-law, please be more restrained.
My father-in-law and his family have finished everything they need to do, but our girl Xuan'er hasn't left the government yet!
After all, the eldest brother is like the father, but when the day comes, it will look better after all when her biological father sends her out than when her eldest brother sends her out, right?
Get some rest and don't be so tired. "
Liu Zhi'an couldn't help but smile, but he waved his hand indifferently.
"You bastard, get out of here as soon as possible.
I know, I don’t need your education. "
