Liu Mingzhi looked at Sakai Hoshino's well-behaved appearance, chuckled and led her to the wooden bridge over the pond in front.
Sakai Hoshino looked at Young Master Liu's back as he walked towards the wooden bridge over the pond. He reluctantly looked at the beautiful flower beds around him and trotted to follow him.
"Mr. Liu, what are we doing on the wooden bridge? Why don't we go on to enjoy the flowers?"
Liu Mingzhi glanced at the confused and disappointed look on Sakai Hoshino's pretty face, and walked to the marble steps to climb the wooden bridge with a smile.
"Didn't I tell you just now? In our garden, not only are there various flowers in full bloom in the flower beds on the shore, but there are also many flowers planted in the pond that can dazzle you Hoshino.
The pond is not only planted with a variety of pleasing flowers, but also fed with many koi. "
Liu Mingzhi gently took down two exquisite porcelain jars from the hooks at the entrance of the wooden bridge, held one in each hand and gestured to Sakai Hoshino.
"Come here, let's enjoy the flowers and feed the fish.
This young master treats you, Hoshino, as a distinguished guest. It would be a bit boring if you were only allowed to enjoy the flowers in the garden. "
When Sakai Hoshino heard Liu Mingzhi's explanation, the look of disappointment on his pretty face was instantly replaced by joy. He looked at the two exquisite porcelain jars in Young Master Liu's hands, hurriedly ran to him and laughed a few times.
"Hehehe, Mr. Liu, Hoshino has a bad memory."
Liu Mingzhi looked at Sakai Hoshino's innocent look and put the porcelain jar in his right hand directly into her hand. He raised his hand and patted the beauty's shoulder. He turned around and took the lead to board the wooden bridge across the pond. .
"Let's go."
"Yeah, yeah, Liu Jun, wait for me."
"Can't you hurry up?"
"Then Liu Jun, can't you go a little slower?"
The two of them are now in their early forties, and the other is already in their thirties, but they are like children, quarreling with each other, talking and laughing towards the wooden bridge. Go to the central location.
Liu Mingzhi didn't know why he did such a childish thing, but he knew that he was extremely relaxed and comfortable now.
Ever since I sat on that chair, I haven't been as relaxed as I am today for many years.
Liu Mingzhi silently glanced at Sakai Hoshino, who was throwing fish food into the pond next to him. He also grabbed a handful of fish food and threw it towards the water.
Perhaps what attracts him to this woman is not only her beauty that is not inferior to that of many of his wives, but also her innocent character.
The kind of character that can make one put down his arrogance and shed his identity as an emperor.
Of course, beauty should still account for a large part, otherwise, I might not be able to play with her without any pressure.
Liu Mingzhi put away his thoughts, grabbed a handful of fish food and pointed in front of the two of them with a smile.
"Hoshino, you can see the first lotus flowers after turning the corner in front."
Sakai Hoshino's pretty eyes lit up, he held the porcelain jar in his arms and trotted towards the direction of Young Master Liu's finger.
"Mr. Liu, Hoshino passed by first, hurry up and follow."
Sakai Hoshino slowed down his pace, put a pair of lotus-rooted arms on the guardrail of the wooden bridge, stood up on his lotus feet and leaned his waist to look at the sparkling water below the wooden bridge.
When she saw the beautiful scenery on the water in front of her, Sakai Hoshino's bright cherry lips couldn't help but open slightly.
There are hundreds of light pink lotuses swaying in the wind just on the water in front of you, and there are seven or eight lotus groups on the water in the distance that are slightly larger or smaller than the ones in front of you.
this? Is this a pond?
Is it because I have never seen the world? Or Liu Jun, what misunderstanding does he have about the word pond?
Sakai Hoshino was shocked by the beautiful scenery in front of him, and couldn't help but mutter to himself in his heart.
Sakai Hoshino withdrew her eyes from the dazzling lotus flowers on the water, and looked at Liu Mingzhi who was feeding the fish next to her with a strange expression.
"Mr. Liu, do you call this pond under our feet? Even if you call it a small lake, it's not an exaggeration!"
Liu Mingzhi looked at Sakai Hoshino's expression, which seemed a little hungry and doubtful about life, and happily threw the fish food in his hand towards the koi that had jumped out of the water.
"You don't know something, Hoshino. When my father first gave this house to me, it was really just a lotus pond."
When Sakai Hoshino heard this, a hint of curiosity appeared in his pretty eyes: "Then why has it become so big now?"
"Later, my old man dragged his family into the capital, and everyone lived in my house together. My old man felt that the house was a bit small, so he spent a lot of money to buy several houses around it, and then looked for another A group of skilled craftsmen renovated it.
Then the original lotus pond became what it is now, but I still habitually call it pond. "
"I see, Hoshino thought you had some misunderstanding about the word pond!"
"Xingye, this pool under our feet... although the artificial lake is slightly larger, in my opinion, it is only slightly larger after all.
When we first met in Jinling City more than ten years ago, you and your eldest brother also followed me back home.
Compared with the artificial lake in our old house of the Liu family in Jiangnan, Hoshino, do you still think that the artificial lake under our feet is very big? "
Sakai Hoshino squinted her eyes and fell into memories. What she saw and heard in the Liu Mansion in Jinling gradually emerged in her mind. After a while, she looked at Young Master Liu and shook his head hurriedly.
"Not big, not big at all."
"When I have the opportunity, I will take you and Sakurazhi, mother and daughter, to the imperial garden of the palace. Then you will understand how insignificant the artificial lake under our feet is.
When you and your eldest brother came to the palace with me, I was just a small official at that time, and I was not qualified to take you two brothers and sisters to the imperial garden to see something.
Today is different from the past. Not to mention the Imperial Garden, I can take you wherever you want to go in the entire palace. "
This is what Liu Mingzhi told Sakai Hoshino. In fact, it is impossible for him to take Sakai Hoshino to visit every corner of the palace.
Even if he takes Sakai Hoshino and his mother and daughter into the palace, the places he goes to will only be insignificant places. It is impossible for Sakai Hoshino to set foot in confidential places.
The layout of the palace is related to the life and safety of the king of the country. How can it be easily known to outsiders?
When Sakai Hoshino heard Young Master Liu's promise, he was immediately overjoyed. He looked at Young Master Liu with a beaming smile and kept moving his head.
"Hoshino, thank you Mr. Liu, you are so kind to Hoshino."
"We are friends. Shouldn't I be nicer to you, Hoshino? Let's go, let's continue walking around."
"Yeah, yeah, let's go together."
Sakai Hoshino greeted Mr. Liu and ran forward with joy, grabbing a handful of fish food and throwing it towards the water where the fish were surging.
"Mr. Liu, did you arrange all the flowers and plants in your garden yourself?"
Liu Mingzhi followed Sakai Hoshino slowly, looking at her innocent figure like a child, he smiled and shook his head.
"Xingye, you are overthinking. How can a grown man like me be so leisurely and elegant? All the flowers and plants in the garden were arranged by my wife and sisters after discussion.
They sisters all have different preferences. Plant a little of the flowers and plants you like, plant a little of the flowers and plants she likes, and slowly it becomes what it is now.
As a husband, I am only responsible for enjoying the beautiful scenery. "
"So that's it. Liu Jun, your ladies are really amazing. Not only are they beautiful, they are also so versatile.
If it were Hoshino, he would definitely not be able to arrange the garden in such a pleasant way. "
Liu Mingzhi watched Sakai Hoshino leaning over the guardrail to admire the beautiful silhouette of lotus flowers on the water, and walked to her side lightly.
Looking at her slightly confused eyes, Liu Mingzhi leaned into her ear and suddenly asked without warning: "Xingye, is your brother's situation really critical now?"
Sakai Hoshino was concentrating on admiring the beautiful scenery in front of him. He never expected that Liu Mingzhi would suddenly come to his side and ask himself such a question out of the blue.
After Liu Mingzhi asked his question, Sakai Hoshino looked at Young Master Liu completely subconsciously and blurted out an answer.
"It's really critical. Hoshino is almost dying of worry now."
