"The child obeys the command, and the child will remember it in his heart."
"correct."
"Daddy?"
"father?"
"When your eldest sister and brother come back from Miao territory, don't forget to tell them what my father just said to you.
Don’t forget about this stinky girl Yue’er when she comes back. "
The three Liu Chengzhi brothers heard their father's explanation and nodded without hesitation.
"Yes, I know, kid."
After Liu Mingzhi taught his three children, he casually placed Yun Qingshi's teacup on the table.
"Yao'er, Qingshi, Bizhu..."
"I'm here."
"If you sisters are thirsty later, just ask Yaoyao and the others to pour tea."
"Hey, my sisters know it."
Young Master Liu took out the paperwork from his waist, turned around, walked behind the desk, and sat down on the chair.
After sitting down, Liu Mingzhi opened the paperwork in his hand, raised his eyes and glanced at Liu Yaoyao's three brothers and sisters, and pointed to the chairs next to him.
"Chengzhi, you three should stop standing and sit down."
"Hey, the kid knows."
Liu Mingzhi nodded slightly, held the document in his hand, and read the contents of the document attentively.
Seeing Young Master Liu's concentration, everyone in the study took their every move lightly.
Either he sips the tea in the cup, or he touches the folds of his clothes lightly, trying not to disturb Liu Mingzhi's thoughts.
Liu Mingzhi calmly flipped through the documents inside, page after page.
Examining the contents of the document, he sometimes frowned, sometimes pondered, and sometimes showed a look of relief.
After a long time, Mr. Liu raised his head and breathed a sigh of relief. He closed the documents in his hands and put them on the desk.
"Chengzhi."
"The child is here."
"Has the Ministry of War already begun handling the matter of pensions for the sixty-seven expeditionary soldiers?"
"Reply to dad, not yet?"
"Huh? What's going on?"
"Dad, the detailed roster of the more than sixty soldiers who were lost in the Western Expedition is still on the way to the capital.
The Ministry of War does not have a list of soldiers, so naturally the Ministry of War cannot draw up a detailed charter. "
"I see."
“But please don’t worry dad.
During the dynasty meeting the day before yesterday, after the dynasty was dismissed, the child had already handed over to the elders in the cabinet.
Once the soldiers destroyed the roster of soldiers and sent it to the court, they immediately sent someone to notify the child.
Now, since dad has returned to Beijing, I no longer need to supervise this matter. "
After hearing Erzi's somewhat relaxed words, Young Master Liu raised his hand and waved it gently twice.
"No."
"ah?"
"It's still up to you to supervise this matter. After the results come out, you can just draw up a document and give it to my father for review."
"Dad, during the days when you and your mother and aunts left the capital.
My child, I have to deal with the affairs of the Ten Kings Palace and supervise the affairs of the cabinet at the same time. I am busy for two or three days.
These days, the child is so busy that he hardly even has time to accompany his wife.
Now that you are back, let your child rest for a while.
Even if it’s just a three- to five-day break! "
Young Master Liu glanced at his son, who looked depressed, and took the herbal tea that his daughter Liu Yaoyao had just poured for him to moisten his throat.
"After you're done with this, let's take a rest."
"Dad, no, you can't treat your child like this!
Even a donkey needs to rest for a day or two..."
"That `s a deal."
"Dad, we don't have anyone who orders people around like this!"
Liu Mingzhi opened his arms and stretched his body, frowning slightly and swallowed the tea in his mouth.
"Moreover, the follow-up matters of the Second Route West Expedition Army are also yours."
"I...I...I am your biological son!
How can any father in this world treat his son like this?
Are you my biological father? "
Young Master Liu smacked his lips a few times and looked strangely at Qi Yun, who was sitting on the chair.
"Yun'er, this kid seems to have a certain meaning when he says this!
Otherwise, explain to him, is he his husband's biological son? "
Qi Yun's pretty face was slightly startled when she heard Young Master Liu's teasing remarks.
After reacting, he glared at Mr. Liu and rolled his eyes.
"Bah, ivory cannot come out of a dog's mouth."
Liu Chengzhi never expected that his father would bring the topic to his mother.
He trembled his lips a few times and looked quickly at Qi Yun, who was sitting diagonally opposite.
"Mother, my child, I just say it at any time, and I have absolutely no other meaning.
Mother, you are so beautiful, you must not listen to my father's nonsense. "
When Qi Yun heard her son's hurried explanation, her pretty face suddenly changed, and she rolled her eyes angrily again.
"You brat, you think I'm a fool!"
Liu Chengzhi looked at his mother's angry look and waved his hand hurriedly.
“Mother, the child is definitely not like this.
I just...I just..."
"Shut up, you."
"Uh! Hey."
Qi Yun rolled her eyes at her son who looked aggrieved, picked up a peanut from the tray on the table, and threw it at Young Master Liu hard.
"It's a bad virtue. I don't know what my son means.
I just want to know, husband, what do you mean when you say this? "
Young Master Liu waved his backhand and caught the peanuts thrown by Qi Yun in his hand. Seeing the beautiful woman's pretended anger, he peeled off the peanuts in his hand with a smile.
"Yun'er, you're thinking too much, aren't you?
My husband just mentioned it following Chengzhi's words and wanted you to explain it to him. "
When Qi Yun saw her husband's playful smile, she tried to grab the peanuts on the tray again.
When Liu Mingzhi saw this, he waved his hand hurriedly.
“Hey, hey, my husband knows I’m wrong, my husband knows I’m wrong.
No kidding, no kidding. "
Qi Yun's pretty face snorted angrily, peeled off the peanuts in her hands and put them into Tan's mouth.
"snort."
"Chengzhi."
"father?"
"You bastard, look how angry you are making your mother by asking these stupid questions."
"Dad, we have to speak with our conscience. It's obviously you who..."
Young Master Liu raised his eyes and glanced at Liu Chengzhi, then gently moved the tea lid in his hand.
"Um?"
Liu Chengzhi twitched the corners of his mouth and nodded helplessly.
"My child knows it's wrong."
"Can you do what my father just said?"
"able!"
"That's right. If you agree earlier, wouldn't it be fine?"
Liu Chengzhi turned his head and glanced at the siblings Liu Yaoyao and Liu Chengqian who were holding back their smiles. They nodded.
"Yes, dad is right, the child knows that he is wrong."
Liu Mingzhi stood up, stretched, walked to the window next to him and stopped.
"Chengzhi."
"The child is here."
"You were also responsible for supervising the second batch of food and fodder for the Second Route West Expedition Army, right?"
"Reply to Dad, it's true."
After hearing his son's reply, Young Master Liu leaned over and placed his arms on the window sill. He narrowed his eyes slightly and scanned the fallen leaves in the courtyard.
"Is it you who has the full authority to supervise this, or the cabinet..."
Young Master Liu was halfway through his words when he suddenly stopped.
"It's okay. Do you have anything else to report?"
"Reply to Dad, no more."
"Yun'er."
"Hey, I'm here."
"Chengzhi has finished talking about the official affairs in the court. Now you sisters can talk about your affairs."
When Qi Yun heard what Young Master Liu said, she pursed her lips and looked at each other with the sisters.
After a while, Qi Yun looked at the other sisters, nodded her head slightly, and walked towards her husband standing next to the window sill with light steps.
After not hearing the reply from Qi Yun and the beauties for a long time, Young Master Liu kowtowed and looked back with a puzzled expression.
"What's wrong? Don't you sisters have something to tell your husband? Why don't you say anything?"
Qi Yun stopped next to Young Master Liu in an elegant manner, raised her slender hand, and waved to the Liu Chengzhi brothers and sisters sitting not far away.
"Chengzhi, Yaoyao, Chengqian."
"The child is here."
"The study is very stuffy. You three should go take a walk in the courtyard first."
Liu Chengzhi, Liu Yaoyao, and Liu Chengqian were stunned for a moment, then seemed to understand something and hurriedly stood up and saluted.
"Hey, the kid knows."
Liu Mingzhi waited until his three children left the study, turned around with a slight frown, folded his hands in front of him and leaned on the window sill, his eyes scanning the beauties one by one with doubt.
"No, what's going on?
Yun'er, what on earth do you sisters want to tell your husband? You actually need to send out Chengzhi, Yaoyao, Chenggan and their three brothers and sisters. "
Qi Yun saw the puzzled expression on her husband's face. She walked to the window and stopped, leaning her waist to look around the courtyard.
Seeing her three children sitting in the pavilion in the courtyard chatting softly, Qi Yun straightened up and, like her husband, casually wrapped her arms around her undulating chest and leaned lightly on the window sill. the other side.
"Husband."
"Husband, please listen, Yun'er."
Qi Yun pondered for a moment, then looked at Young Master Liu and said softly: "My husband, Sister Hoshino, may be returning to Japan."
Liu Dashao's tiger body trembled, his brows furrowed slightly, and his eyes narrowed slightly as he looked at the beautiful lady opposite with a complicated expression.
"Yun'er, who did you hear about this?
Did Hoshino tell you that personally? Or did she tell any of you sisters? "
Qi Yun looked at her husband's slightly nervous expression, sighed silently, and gently shook her head at Young Master Liu a few times.
"No, sister Hoshino, she neither told me nor any of my sisters."
"Then Yun'er, how did you know about this?"
"It was Yue'er who told Sister Concubine."
"What, did Yue'er tell you sisters?"
Qi Yun looked at her husband's stunned expression and nodded politely to Queen Wanyan, who was sitting not far away.
"Sister Wanyan, it's up to you to speak."
The Queen smiled lightly, stood up and walked towards Young Master Liu.
"Heartless."
"Say it politely."
The queen stopped and sighed sadly.
"You are heartless, I will tell you the general situation.
As soon as our sisters returned home from Shu, this girl Yue'er hurried over to see us.
After Yue'er saw us, she directly told our sisters and others that Sister Hoshino was leaving the capital and returning to the mainland of Japan. "
Liu Mingzhi gathered his thoughts and took a long, silent breath.
"How did Yue'er know?"
The Queen sat sideways on the chair and sighed sadly.
"Yue'er said that she heard the news from the girl Yingzhi.
Ever since this girl Yingzhi became familiar with Yue'er, Lingyun, Zhenghao, Yunxin, Lianniang and other brothers and sisters, she has been visiting our house every now and then.
You know how much this girl Yingzhi likes Yue'er, Yunxin, Lianniang and the other sisters.
After getting along for a long time, these little sisters have already reached the point where they can talk about everything.
Yue'er told us that about ten days ago, Ying Zhi, Lian Niang, Yun Xin and the other little sisters met to fly paper kites outside the city.
However, the girl Yingzhi's mood that day was completely different from before.
So, the girl Lian Niang asked the girl Ying Zhi why she suddenly became unhappy.
Later, Ying Zhi told Lian Niang that they might never see each other again.
After they returned from flying kites outside the city, Lian Niang immediately went to Yue'er to tell her about the incident.
Under Yue'er's deliberate insinuation, the girl Yingzhi revealed the truth behind the incident.
Ying Zhi told Yue'er.
Her mother is sister Hoshino.
He planned to take her back to the mainland of Japan with him after a while. "
After Liu Mingzhi heard the queen's explanation, he closed his eyes silently.
After a long time, Mr. Liu suddenly opened his eyes, walked to the chair with a complicated expression and sat down.
"Euphemistically."
"Um?"
"Girl Yue'er, have you ever told you the specific day on which Hoshino will leave the capital?"
"This girl, Yue'er, didn't say anything.
It's not that Yue'er didn't find out, but that girl Yingzhi herself didn't know when Sister Hoshino was going to leave Beijing and return home with her. "
Young Master Liu nodded slightly and subconsciously picked up the tobacco bag on the desk.
As soon as he opened the tobacco bag, he seemed to think of something again and threw the dry tobacco bag on the table.
"Yun'er, has the Japanese mission left Beijing now?"
"Husband, after I found out about this, I immediately informed Liu Song to send someone to Honglu Temple to inquire about it.
According to the news received from Lord Qing Wang of Honglu Temple, the Japanese delegation will leave Beijing in the next few days. "
Liu Mingzhi breathed a sigh of relief after hearing Qi Yun's answer.
"That's good, that's good."
"Euphemistically."
"Heartless, you say."
"Where's this stinky girl Yue'er?"
The Queen raised her hand and scratched her snow-white jade neck, and shrugged her shoulders a few times with a strange look on her face.
"I left early in the morning and haven't come back yet."
"Oh, this stinky girl has been spoiled by you!"
The Queen suddenly frowned, raised her slender hand and slapped it heavily on the table.
"Liu Mingzhi, do you have any conscience when you say this?
Yue'er has turned into what she is now. Is it because I'm used to it? Or are you used to it?
You touch your conscience and ask, is the reason why Yue'er has become what she is now, is it because of my habit?
As a girl, she has become a frequent visitor to the land of fireworks?
Without your father, without you, without the second brother and the third brother setting a good example, would Yue'er do this?
Is this something I'm used to? "
"Forehead!"
"When I entered the capital at the age of four and a half, I changed from a noble little princess to a person who spends all day fishing in rivers and being blind.
He led his gang of brothers and sisters through the streets, fighting and fighting.
Beat this one today, beat that one tomorrow.
Who supported her? Who gave her the confidence?
Is it the old lady who is thousands of miles away in the old capital of the Kingdom of Jin, who is busy with government affairs all day long? "
"Forehead?"
"Let's talk about when she was 89, after the end of the Three Kingdoms War, Yue'er came to the capital alone.
An eighty-nine-year-old child, holding an old-eyed firecracker, shot and killed a seventh-grade master who was in the third-grade on the spot in the temple.
Where did her fire blunderbuss come from? Did I give it to my mother? "
"Forehead!"
