"Dad, why did you ask Yue'er to come to the study?"
The little cutie followed Young Master Liu, and as soon as he walked into the study room, he asked directly.
Young Master Liu did not answer the little cutie's question. He gently took out the fire stick from his sleeve and leaned over to light the candle on the desk.
He glanced at the thick pile of files on the desk, turned around and sat on the chair, and looked up at the little cutie standing opposite the desk with a puzzled face.
"Yue'er."
The little cutie suddenly tensed her waist and instinctively took a few steps back.
"Gudu, stinky daddy... no, no, no, good daddy."
The little cutie reacted immediately and hurriedly raised a pair of slender hands and waved them a few times. She looked at her nephew with a smile on her face and blinked her smart eyes a few times with a smile.
"Good dad, what's wrong with you is that you want to settle accounts with Yue'er Qiuhou."
Young Master Liu saw the vigilance on the cute face, shook his head angrily, and pointed to the chair opposite the desk.
"Being a father is not as boring as you think. Sit down first."
The little cutie looked at Mr. Liu suspiciously, and slowly walked toward the chair a few steps away, pausing every step.
The closer the little cutie gets to the chair, the slower her movements become, especially the vigilant look on her pretty face.
"Dad, did I really sit down?
You must keep your word, but don't ask Yue'er Qiuhou to settle the score! "
Young Master Liu looked at the suspicion on the little cutie's face and rolled his eyes angrily.
I was speechless at the little cutie's reaction.
Is it possible that there is no such basic relationship between father and daughter?
Young Master Liu sighed helplessly, and tapped the table gum several times with his fingers.
"Stinky girl, do you want to sit down? If you really don't want to sit down, just keep standing."
The little cutie saw the angry expression on Young Master Liu's face, and she was finally sure that her father would not settle the score with her queen.
She rubbed her hands together with a smile, and the little cutie nodded eagerly.
"Hehehe, sit down, sit down, Yue'er will sit down right now."
The little cutie quickly responded to Young Master Liu and sat down directly on the chair behind him.
"Dad, why did you come to Yue'er?"
Young Master Liu glanced at the cute little girl with a curious expression, picked up the scissors on the table with a frown, and raised his hand to fiddle with the flickering candlelight next to him.
"Yue'er, please tell my father in detail about your Aunt Hoshino's decision to take Yingzhi away from our Dalong and return to their homeland of Japan."
The little cutie frowned slightly and subconsciously asked: "What? About Aunt Hoshino?"
Young Master Liu looked at the little cutie's surprised look, put down what he was holding, and nodded with a complicated expression.
"right."
When the little cutie heard the confirmed words, she put her fingers behind her ears and started to scratch them.
"Dad, didn't Aunt Yun and Aunt Yan'er tell you about Aunt Xingye's departure?"
"Of course I told you, but what they said was not very clear.
During the period when Hoshino lived in Honglu Temple, the two of you had many interactions in private.
Therefore, you should know a lot about her.
Tell me about it as a father, what is the specific situation? "
The little cutie nodded in understanding, resting his white chin on the desk with both hands.
"I see, okay, then Yue'er will tell you some of the things I know about it."
"Say it."
"Regarding the general situation of Aunt Xingye's departure, it has caused me a lot of trouble since Dad went to Shu..."
The little cutie held her chin with her hands and softly told Young Master Liu some of the things she knew.
The candle on the desk flickered and crackled from time to time.
I don't know when he got up, but Young Master Liu already had a dry tobacco bag emitting bird smoke in his hand.
While listening to the little cutie's story quietly, he puffed away in silence.
After a long time, the little cutie straightened up her waist, looked at her father who was sitting opposite and was puffing away, spread her hands and shrugged casually.
"Dad, this is the general situation.
Yue'er had already told her mother and Aunt Yun everything she needed to tell them a few days ago. "
Young Master Liu leaned over and kneaded the ashes in the copper basin under the table, and glanced at the little cutie with a complicated expression.
"That's it? Are there no other situations?"
The little cutie picked up the herbal tea next to her and moistened her throat, looking at Young Master Liu and gently shaking her head.
"No, Yue'er has already told everything she knows about the situation."
"Yue'er, don't you have any more specific information?"
"Dad, I'm not the tapeworm in Aunt Hoshino's belly. How can I possibly know all the thoughts in her heart?"
Young Master Liu put aside the tobacco bag in his hand and sighed with a complicated expression.
"Oh, my father knows."
"Dad, Yue'er, can I have a presumptuous question for you?"
"Huh? What's the problem?"
"Yue'er wants to ask you, do you want to keep Aunt Hoshino?"
"What if you want to stay? What if you don't want to stay?"
"Does that need to be said? If you want Aunt Hoshino to stay, then let her stay.
If you don't want to keep her, forget it. "
After listening to the little cutie's words, Young Master Liu frowned slightly and fell silent.
After a long time, he stood up and walked towards the window sill a few steps away.
Looking up at the moonlight that had already reached the top of the willow trees on the horizon, Young Master Liu narrowed his eyes and let out a breath.
"Yue'er."
"Dad."
"Some things are not as simple as you think."
"ah?"
"Forget it, let my father think about this carefully."
"Oh, okay then, Yue'er knows."
"Yue'er."
"Hey, what's wrong?"
Liu Mingzhi turned around and walked to the desk, opened the drawer on the left side, took out two boxes of chess pieces from the drawer and walked towards the table next to him.
"Girl, come and play chess with your father."
The little cutie was startled, then came to her senses and followed her father reluctantly.
"Dad, what kind of chess are you playing at night?"
"You little girl, I'm interested, no matter what time it is!"
Young Master Liu placed the two boxes of chess pieces on the chessboard and looked at the cute little girl with a depressed look on his face.
"Girl, do you want to guess first? Or do you want me to let you make the first move as a father?"
The little cutie sat carelessly opposite Young Master Liu and brought the black chess piece on the chessboard in front of him.
"Dad, you are a good father to this girl. Are you embarrassed to guess first with me?
When we play chess between father and daughter, of course I, the girl, will take the lead. "
The little cutie picked up a chess piece, looked up at Young Master Liu and said angrily.
Young Master Liu nodded with a smile, threw away the jade fan in his hand and flapped it gently.
“Yes, yes, you go first.
You stinky girl, let's do it. "
The cute little girl frowned slightly, gently turning the chess pieces between her fingers, her beautiful eyes staring thoughtfully at the chessboard in front of her and thinking about it.
After a long time, the little cutie opened her mouth slightly and clicked her tongue a few times, then dropped the chess piece in his hand towards the chessboard.
Ding Dong made a soft sound.
The temperament in the little cutie's hand fell on the Tianyuan position on the chessboard, neither light nor heavy.
"Dad, this girl has already made up her mind, it's your turn."
Young Master Liu stared intently at the chess piece in the Tianyuan position on the chessboard, turning a deaf ear to the little cutie's reminder.
He rubbed the chess pieces on his fingertips vigorously, and he couldn't help but recall some scenes that had passed many years ago in his mind.
"Boy, the opening move is Tianyuan. This is a taboo in chess."
"That's wrong. In a game of chess..."
Young Master Liu was just recalling certain scenes in his mind when he was interrupted by the dissatisfied voice of the little cutie.
"Smelly dad, what are you stunned for? It's your turn."
"ah?"
"Smelly dad, are you stupid? It's your turn."
Young Master Liu came back to his senses, looked at the chess piece on the chessboard quietly, and glanced at the cute little girl opposite who puffed up his cheeks angrily.
"Girl, it's taboo to take Tianyuan first.
You have already learned to play chess when you were four or five years old. You don't understand such a simple truth. "
The little cutie waved his hand nonchalantly, picked up another chess piece with his fingers and clamped it between his fingers.
“Oh, no matter how big a taboo it is, it’s still a small taboo.
For this girl, as long as she can win, that's all. "
"As long as you win, that's it?"
"Yes, isn't the purpose of playing chess just to win?
As the saying goes, a chess game is like a battlefield.
Whether it's a chess game or a battlefield, the ultimate goal is victory.
Winner takes all, loser for Kou.
Never mind that his former residence is irregular.
What are the rules? What is irregularity?
There is only one rule here for this girl.
That is, only by winning.
That's the rule.
The rest are as fancy as you want them to be.
If I hear a word from you, I will lose.
In other words, only those who win are qualified to speak about the so-called rules. "
Young Master Liu quietly watched the cute little chess piece gently turning between his fingers, leaning on the chair with a deep look.
"What about the losers?"
The little cutie raised her eyebrows, held the chess piece in her hand and shrugged casually a few times, then looked at Young Master Liu and sneered softly.
"hehe!"
In response to daddy's question, the little cutie just sneered a few times.
It seemed like he didn't say anything, but he seemed to have answered all the questions.
Seeing Mr. Liu's delay in responding, the little cutie urged him helplessly.
"Smelly daddy, are you going to do it or not?"
Young Master Liu raised his eyes and glanced at the helpless face of the little cutie, then he threw the chess piece between his fingers onto the chessboard with a smile.
"soy Mujer."
"Huh? Dad?"
"Father, I'm a little tired. You should go back and rest first.
Let us, father and daughter, continue playing this game of chess when we have free time in the future. "
"What?"
"Girl, I am tired of being a father.
Of course, if you don't want to go back and rest, it's okay to stay.
My father is looking for beauty to help with the files on the desk.
Girl, if you are willing to stay and help share the pressure on your father, that would be great..."
Before Young Master Liu could say the following words, the little cutie flew out of the room like a gust of wind.
"Okay daddy, see you later."
Although the cute little voice was still echoing in the room, her figure had already disappeared outside the door.
Young Master Liu watched the cute little figure disappear in the courtyard, and shook his head helplessly.
"Oh, you stinky girl!"
After muttering to himself, Young Master Liu glanced at the chess piece on the chessboard with a deep look, stood up and walked towards the desk.
Young Master Liu sat on the chair, then picked up a scroll on the desk, leaned close to the candlelight and carefully examined the contents.
Page after page of content flipped through Mr. Liu's fingertips, and the look on his face became increasingly gloomy.
The third day of June in the sixth year of Dalong's reign of peace.
Fengzhou Sima and his subordinate Yingxian County magistrate colluded with each other, causing...
The second day of March in the sixth year of Dalong's reign of peace.
The governor of Xingzhou and his...
When the moon was in the sky, the candlelight in the study was still flickering.
Young Master Liu was concentrating on flipping through the documents in his hand when a sudden knock on the door woke him up.
"Husband."
Young Master Liu came to his senses and looked towards the study door with a frown.
"Is it Yun'er?"
"It's me, husband. I'm here to bring you a midnight snack."
"come in."
"OK."
Qi Yun responded with a sweet voice, holding the tray in her hand and walking in with a sweet smile.
"Husband, I have cooked a bowl of lotus seed porridge for you. Drink it while it's hot."
Liu Mingzhi raised his eyes and glanced at the beauty, then moved his eyes to the file in his hand again.
"Yun'er, please sit down first, and I'll finish reading the file in my hand first."
"Okay, I know."
Qi Yun gently placed the tray on the table, looked at the frowning look on the face of the husband opposite, and sat down with a gentle manner.
"Husband."
Young Master Liu studied the contents of the file intently, and replied to the beauty with a nasal voice without raising his head.
"Um?"
"Husband, it's already dark at night, why don't you take a rest first, drink the lotus seed porridge I brought you, and then continue working on the file in your hand?"
If the delay continues, the lotus seed porridge will not taste good when it gets cold. "
Young Master Liu casually opened a page of the file in his hand and raised his hand to signal to Qi Yun.
"Okay, my husband knows, I will have porridge in a while."
Qi Yun heard her husband's slightly perfunctory tone and wanted to give some more advice.
But when she saw her husband staring intently at the file in his hand, she swallowed the words that were on her lips again.
"Okay, I'll wait for you."
Young Master Liu nodded subconsciously, picked up the ink pen beside him, and circled the file in his hand.
Seeing this situation, Qi Yun's beautiful eyes were not only worried, but also worried.
It had been a long time since she had seen her husband look so serious.
Qi Yun sighed softly and gently covered the porridge bowl on the tray.
It seems that what happened this time has put a lot of pressure on my husband!
