After Liu Mingzhi and Chen Jie sent Li Ye away from the capital, they rushed back to the Liu Mansion.
Li Ye's matter has come to an end, and it's time for him to return home and entertain the old man and his mother.
In the inner courtyard of the Liu Mansion, Young Master Liu was holding the freshly brewed wolfberry tea in his hand and walked towards the Dongkua Yard next door with a leisurely expression.
As soon as Young Master Liu entered the East Crossing Courtyard, he saw his mother-in-law, Mrs. Liu, and her ladies sitting in the pavilion, chatting and laughing.
After taking a careful sip of the tea in the cup, Mr. Liu happily walked towards the pavilion.
"Mother, Yun'er, Sister Ya, Yan'er, Wanyan, Yao'er, Qingshi... what are you talking about?"
Mrs. Liu heard the voice of her eldest son Liu Mingzhi speaking behind her, and turned around with kind eyes.
"Zhi'er, have you finished your business?"
"Mother, I have just finished my work with the child and have less time to burn incense. Where is the old man? Is he sitting in his room settling accounts again?"
"Maybe, you don't understand your father yet, he can't sit still."
"Sisters, please meet your husband."
Young Master Liu smiled and nodded at the beauties, and leaned over to sit on the stone bench next to him.
"Okay, okay, just sit down and continue chatting with mother. There are no outsiders in our home, so there is no need for so many etiquettes."
"Thank you, husband."
"Mother, my dear, I want to ask you something."
Mrs. Liu looked kindly at Young Master Liu who was sitting next to her: "Okay, Zhi'er, just ask me whatever questions you want to ask my mother."
"Mother, will this girl Xuan'er go back during the next few years?
When she was in Jinling this year, this girl didn't go back for a reunion. In the blink of an eye, it has been more than seven months. Has she recently gone back to visit the old man and you two? "
Mrs. Liu looked back at Young Master Liu's curious eyes, smiled lightly and nodded.
"At the end of April or the beginning of May, Xuan'er, the child, went back. She stayed at home with my mother and your father for about a month, and then she left home again."
Liu Mingzhi rolled his eyes thoughtfully, covering his thinking eyes by lowering his head to drink tea.
"It's good to go back in the meantime. It seems there is a reason why she didn't go back during the New Year. So did she say where she was going when she left this time?"
"Wei Niang is really not very clear about where she is going. She only said that she wanted to go around, but Wei Niang doesn't know exactly where she is going.
Zhi'er, you also know that Xuan'er has grown up now and has her own independent thoughts. My mother can't interfere too much.
Why are you suddenly asking these questions? Could it be that she came to the capital to see you after leaving home? "
Liu Mingzhi shook his head gently, stood up and looked towards the flourishing flowerbed in the courtyard.
"No, this girl Xuan'er didn't come to Hai'er to see my eldest brother and her many sisters-in-law.
It has been almost a year since the last time Hai'er and Xuan'er saw each other in Beijing. After not seeing her for such a long time, Hai'er still misses her little sister.
I just don't know how this girl is doing now, so I asked my mother if my little sister has gone back home this year. "
Mrs. Liu nodded understandingly, looked at the slightly lonely back of her eldest son and let out a long sigh.
"Zhi'er, Xuan'er is getting older and older, and it's useless to speak for mother about many things.
If she comes to the capital in the future, you will have to help your mother tell more about her after you see her.
As for what to say, you should know it in your heart. "
"Hmm, mom, don't worry, my child will definitely help mom talk to my little sister properly.
Mother, when the old man and you two first came to the capital two days ago, my son happened to be involved in other worldly matters, so he was not able to accompany you two to reminisce about the past.
Now that you have Yun'er and her sisters chatting with you, I'll go to the old man's place first. "
"That's okay. You can go see your father first. It's still early. When the time is almost up, Wei mother, Yun'er and the others will prepare a banquet. Then our family will have a good reunion."
"Hey, then I'll have a kiss from my mother-in-law."
"Yun'er."
"I'm here."
"You sisters, please stay with your mother. My husband will go to see the old man first."
"I know this, husband, please go to dad's place first!"
Liu Mingzhi waved his hand casually, holding the tea cup in his hand and rushed to Liu Zhian's former study.
After about a cup of tea, Young Master Liu's figure appeared outside Liu Zhian's study.
Young Master Liu heard the sound of abacus coming from the quiet study, and he raised his toes and gently kicked open the door in front of him.
"Old man, what are you busy with?"
Liu Zhi'an raised his head and glanced at the smiling Young Master Liu standing outside the door, and rarely replied calmly.
"It's time to settle accounts, come in."
Liu Mingzhi raised his eyebrows and walked directly into the study, walked to the chair next to the desk and sat down.
Liu Zhi'an left a mark on the account book with the pen in his hand. He put down the pen in his hand and leaned on the back of the chair to watch Mr. Liu stretch slightly.
"Have you finished your business?"
Liu Mingzhi casually crossed his legs, lowered his head and took a sip of tea from the cup.
"What's serious or not, it's just commonplace things that are not worth mentioning."
"It's whatever you say, what are you doing here?"
"Old man, you have already met this girl Serena. Now I want to hear from you, old man, what do you think of this girl Serena."
Liu Zhi'an stroked his beard and thought for a while, then watched with calm eyes as Young Master Liu took off the tobacco bag from his waist.
"What's your opinion?"
When Liu Dashan saw the old man filling the tobacco, he immediately put down the teacup in his hand, took out the fire breaker from his sleeve and leaned over to help Liu Zhian light the tobacco.
“Nature is a holistic view.”
Liu Zhi'an slowly exhaled the smoke in his mouth, stood up and walked out of the study.
"The study is very stuffy. Let's go take a walk in the yard outside."
Liu Mingzhi nodded happily, picked up his tea cup and followed: "No problem, I will listen to you, old man."
A moment later, the two figures appeared in the garden of the inner courtyard of Liu Mansion.
Liu Zhi'an hit the pipe twice hard and stared at the scenery in the garden with calm and deep eyes.
"You bastard, although this girl Serena is still young, she has great ambitions!"
Liu Mingzhi's pupils shrank slightly, and he fiddled with the tea lid in his hand with a half-smile.
"Did you see it too?"
Liu Zhi'an rolled his eyes angrily: "I haven't reached the point where my eyesight is dim yet, so I can't even see such a simple aspect.
I have never experienced any kind of big storms in most of my life. Although I can't say that I can see people accurately with my little ability, I can still tell that they are almost inseparable.
The character of this little girl Serena is no better than that of Wanyan girl, Junyao girl and the two sisters!
Haha, nothing more! "
"But what?"
"But this girl has met an old and cunning father-in-law like you. I'm afraid it will be difficult for her to cause any trouble."
