Liu Mingjie scratched his brow several times with an expression of resentment, and gave a thumbs up to his father Liu Zhi'an with a smile on his face.
"Dad, you have a sharp eye and a quick mind. You got to the crux of the problem right away."
Liu Zhi'an took a deep breath, stood up suddenly, and glared at Liu Mingjie fiercely.
"Liu Mingjie, just pretend to be a fool for me."
Seeing his father stand up suddenly, Liu Mingjie also stood up habitually, pressing his hands on the table beside him, ready to escape at any time.
"Dad, with all the conscience of heaven and earth, what I said is the truth.
It’s not that I don’t want to start a family, but I really have no choice! "
Seeing that the third son was still deliberately quibbling, Liu Zhi'an took a few deep breaths and suppressed the anger in his heart.
Don’t be angry, I’m not angry.
Liu Mingjie saw his father gasping for air, and moved his legs behind Qi Yun intentionally or unintentionally.
Based on my experience of being beaten for many years in the past, the more silent my old man is, the more miserable I will be beaten in the end.
Remember, everything is calm before the storm!
However, this time Liu Mingjie was wrong.
Liu Zhi'an just turned his head and glanced at him, then walked slowly towards the hall door.
Liu Mingjie couldn't help but froze for a moment when he saw his father's behavior.
The old man's reaction was somewhat beyond his expectations this time.
How did that happen? It shouldn’t be!
Not only Liu Mingjie, but also Qi Yun and the other sisters were stunned, and a look of surprise flashed in their eyes.
In the impression of my sisters, my father-in-law should not have this kind of character.
Liu Xuan looked at her father's back, her pretty face turned her beautiful eyes a few times in a strange way.
Liu Zhi'an slowly squatted on the threshold, silently lit a pot of dry pipe, and took a gentle puff.
"Mingjie."
"father?"
"You just said that Shen Meng's father is the governor of Yangzhou, and Lin Linglong hopes that you can get a good name.
However, because of your status as the eldest brother, you feel that something is not appropriate.
right? "
Liu Mingjie didn't know for a while what his father's purpose was in asking him this question, so he could only nodded silently.
"Yeah, that's right."
Liu Zhi'an waved his hand to fan the smoke that was lingering in front of him, and looked towards his third son Liu Mingjie with a smile.
"That is to say, there are no differences in ideas or personalities between you, Shen Meng, the third girl of the Shen family, and Lin Linglong, the eldest daughter of the Lin family.
Old man, can you understand it this way? "
As soon as Liu Zhi'an finished speaking, Liu Mingjie's face suddenly stiffened, and the corners of his mouth twitched involuntarily.
At this moment, he already knew his old man's intention without thinking at all.
I went and fell into a trap.
Old man, you are too insidious.
"Uh...uh..."
Liu Mingjie groaned and looked at his father Liu Zhian, speechless for a long time.
Liu Zhi'an saw Sanzi's face stiffened and the corners of his mouth twitching, the light in his eyes flashed away, and he took a puff of dry cigarette with a smile.
Little bastard, let me play with my thoughts, you are still a little too young!
Ginger is still spicy!
After Qi Yun, the Queen, her sisters, and Liu Xuan heard Liu Zhi'an's last words, they also understood what he was thinking.
They looked at each other silently with strange expressions, and glanced at Liu Mingjie intentionally or unintentionally.
Alas, you are still too young after all!
I don’t know what it means to be an old fox, I don’t know what it means to be ginger or old and spicy!
Mrs. Liu just drank the tea in her hand silently, without looking at Sanzi's reaction.
He looked completely indifferent to everything, not to mention how calm he looked.
Liu Zhi'an looked at his son whining and said angrily: "You bastard, what are you whining for? Just answer my yes or no directly."
Liu Mingjie scratched his head in embarrassment, thinking rapidly about how to answer this question.
"Uh! Uh! Me!"
When Liu Zhi'an saw his son's reaction and behavior, as well as his erratic eyes, he certainly knew what Liu Mingjie was thinking.
In this case, I naturally would not give him this opportunity.
"What are you, you, weren't you quite able to speak just now? Why do you look like you are at a loss for words?
Liu Mingjie, don't think that I don't know what you are thinking.
I'm warning you, don't let me play with you.
Tell me directly, yes or no? "
Liu Mingjie knew that he couldn't escape, so he had no choice but to nod his head helplessly.
"yes."
"The third young lady of the Shen family, Shen Meng, and the eldest lady of the Lin family, Lin Linglong, between the two girls, which one do you like more?"
Qi Ya, the Queen, the Third Princess and their sisters, as well as Liu Xuan, immediately looked towards Liu Mingjie, with a hint of indifference in their beautiful eyes.
Even Mrs. Liu stopped drinking tea and glanced at her son intentionally or unintentionally.
Liu Mingjie felt the bright eyes of everyone, and his face suddenly turned red involuntarily.
"This, this, what is that!"
When Liu Zhi'an saw this, he rolled his eyes angrily: "What this, that.
Since ancient times, it has been the case that men should be married when they are young, and women should be married when they are young.
A dignified seven-foot-tall man, there is nothing that a manly man dare not say.
To be honest, which one do you like more, Shen Meng or Lin Linglong? "
Liu Mingjie scratched his head in embarrassment: "I can't tell, I feel like both of them are pretty good.
For a moment, the child couldn't tell who was better between the two of them. "
Liu Zhi'an casually brushed off the cigarette ashes on his clothes, stood up directly while holding on to the hall door.
"Then we will marry both of them together. The two sisters will have one wife and one equal wife.
As for the two girls, who will be the head wife and who will be the equal wife, I will make an appointment with their fathers to discuss this matter in detail. "
Liu Mingjie was stunned for a moment after hearing what his father said.
"Ah? Married together...together?"
Liu Zhi'an raised his hand to clasp his ears, and stretched with a calm and natural expression.
"Aren't we just going to get married together? There's nothing to make a fuss about.
Anyway, sooner or later, your boy is going to marry an equal wife. This time, he married the regular wife and the equal wife together. How trouble-free! "
“But, what should Linglong do?
I really can't do what she wants from her children. "
Liu Zhi'an leaned forward slightly, knocked out the ashes from the smoke pot outside the hall door, then casually put his hands on his back and walked towards the courtyard slowly.
"Nothing but, just leave it to me to handle this matter.
With your eldest brother and the Lin family, I will take care of things for you.
You kid, just wait to be the groom's official. "
"Dad, don't leave yet.
After all, this is a major event in my life, let’s discuss it later. "
Liu Zhi'an turned a deaf ear to his son's shouts, as if he didn't hear them.
Liu Mingjie's face froze, and just when he was about to catch up, Qi Yun, the third princess, her sisters and others stood up in unison.
"Third brother, congratulations."
"Mingjie, good things come in pairs for you!"
"Third brother, you are so lucky."
"Third brother, don't worry, my sisters-in-law will definitely give you a big red envelope when the time comes."
Seeing the narrow eyes and playful expressions on the faces of a group of sisters-in-law, Liu Mingjie had no choice but to stop.
Liu Mingjie smiled helplessly, raised his hand and saluted Qi Yun and the other sisters.
“Sisters-in-law, please stop teasing my little brother.
No one knows what will happen next.
Whether this matter will finally come to fruition is still open to question. "
When Qi Yun, Hu Yanjunyao and the other sisters heard Liu Mingjie's words, they silently put away the narrow look on their faces and nodded sadly.
"Yeah, who knows what will happen in the future."
Liu Xuan put down the tea cup in her hand, turned her head and glanced at the sky outside the hall door, got up and walked towards Qi Yun.
"Sister-in-law Yun, it's almost noon now, how long will it take for my eldest brother to finish his business?
When Qi Yun heard Liu Xuan's inquiry, she turned her head and glanced in the direction of the study, and shook her head helplessly a few times.
"Xuan'er, my sister-in-law doesn't know either."
"Huh? Are you so busy?"
Qi Yun smiled bitterly and nodded: "It's almost the end of the year, and memorials and documents from various state capitals are being sent to the capital one after another.
With all the paperwork from so many state capitals in the world, how can your eldest brother not be busy? "
"But, aren't there cabinet officials in the palace, as well as Chengzhi and his brothers and sisters who are on duty in the Ten King Palace, helping the eldest brother handle paperwork?"
"Yes, but some documents must be approved by your eldest brother, the king of the country, in person."
Across the courtyard, Liu Xuan raised her eyes and glanced in the direction of Young Master Liu's study, and nodded with a depressed expression.
"All right."
Qi Ya pursed her lips a few times and gently pulled Qi Yun's sleeve.
"younger sister."
"Hey, sister?"
"Xuan'er, Mingjie, Jiuniu and the others have traveled such a long distance, and they should be pretty hungry already.
It's getting late, go to the kitchen and give instructions to prepare a sumptuous banquet for them. "
Qi Yun quickly raised her hand and patted her forehead: "Yes, yes, look at my brain.
While patronizing Xuan'er, Mingjie and the others reminisced about old times and almost forgot such an important thing. "
As Qi Yun spoke, she immediately walked towards Mrs. Liu.
"Mother, you, Xuan'er, Mingjie and the others will continue to reminisce about old times. I'll go and order the kitchen to prepare lunch first, daughter-in-law."
"Okay, okay, let's go."
"My daughter-in-law will come back as soon as she goes."
"Sister Yun, wait a moment, my sister will go with you."
"Sister, let's go too."
Liu Xuan looked at the beautiful figures of her sisters-in-law who were gradually disappearing, and waved her hand to Mrs. Liu with a smile.
"Mother, you should chat with Mingjie and Jiuniu first. Xuan'er has gone to big brother's place."
After Liu Xuan finished speaking, she immediately ran out of the hall door without waiting for Mrs. Liu's reaction.
"Hey, Xuan'er, your elder brother is busy right now..."
Mrs. Liu looked at her daughter's disappeared figure, her expression was kind, but she shook her head helplessly.
"soy Mujer."
…
Inner courtyard study.
Young Master Liu first put the reviewed documents aside, and then placed the ink pen on the brush washer.
He turned around and glanced at the sky outside the window, raised his arms high, and stretched with a slightly tired look.
"It's already around noon so soon. I don't know how Xuan'er, Mingjie, Jiuniu and the others are doing."
Liu Mingzhi muttered to himself, stood up, picked up the cloak on the chair, put it on his body, and walked slowly out of the study.
After Liu Mingzhi locked the door, he rubbed his hands vigorously and glanced around at the snow in the courtyard.
these days.
Snow in the capital.
It went down and stopped, and then stopped and went down again.
It was already freezing in some corners of the courtyard.
"Oh, it turns out it's not cold when it snows, it's cold when it melts."
After sighing softly, Young Master Liu quickly put his hands inside his sleeves and walked steadily out of the courtyard.
Liu Mingzhi had just passed through the arch of the courtyard, and his steps suddenly stopped. The tired look on his face disappeared instantly, and his eyes instantly became sharp.
He silently took out his hands in his sleeves and observed the situation around him intentionally or unintentionally.
Soon.
Young Master Liu happily breathed hot air into his hands and put his hands inside the warm cuffs again.
"Stinky girl, I haven't seen my eldest brother for so long.
As soon as I got home, I was joking with my eldest brother! "
As Liu Mingzhi spoke, he looked at the roof of the courtyard on the left with a smile.
"Xuan'er, brother already knows where you are, come down quickly."
However, there was no figure on the roof where Young Master Liu was looking.
Liu Mingzhi raised his eyebrows slightly and shook his head helplessly.
"Stinky girl, that's about it.
What's the matter, do you still want me to go up and invite you down personally..."
Before Young Master Liu could finish his words, his expression suddenly changed, and his body jumped to the side completely out of instinct.
The moment Liu Mingzhi flew to dodge, a fierce wind passed directly through the place where he was standing just now.
Liu Mingzhi quickly took out his hands from his sleeves and observed everything around him calmly.
"Smelly girl, since you are so interested, then big brother will play with you."
The answer to Young Master Liu was an even stronger wind.
Then an afterimage, invisible to the naked eye, flew towards Young Master Liu's back with the force of thunder.
Liu Mingzhi felt the menacing wind behind him, his arms suddenly shook, and a protective energy instantly condensed around his body.
There was a loud bang, like the sound of gold and steel clashing together.
A graceful figure kicked the body-protecting Qi behind Young Master Liu with his right foot in the air.
Young Master Liu grunted, and slashed behind him with a waning moon-like sword energy in his backhand.
The expression of Qianying behind Liu Mingzhi changed slightly, and she hurriedly flew to the side.
"Hehehe, Xuan'er, your Tiangang finger husband is still a little absent."
"snort!"
There was a moan, and the beautiful figure behind Young Master Liu flew away, leaving behind blurry afterimages in the air.
"It's just one move, let's continue."
