Liu Mingzhi put the hot water bottle back on the road, looked at Ren Qingxin who looked miserable, and shook his head angrily.
"Girl, what do you mean I'm here? If I'm not here, brother, where else can I be?"
Ren Qingxin scratched her head in embarrassment with her pretty face, and walked towards Young Master Liu who had already started washing up with a smile.
"Hey hey hey, I applied it when I slept in the lake. My sister applied it when I slept in the lake."
Seeing the embarrassed look on the beauty's pretty face, Mr. Liu pointed to the water glass beside him.
"The salt water has been prepared for you. It's getting late, so hurry up and wash up."
"Yes, yes, thank you Daguoguo. I will wash up with you right now."
Ren Qingxin thanked her with a smile, and quickly reached out to pick up the toiletries that Young Master Liu had prepared for herself.
"Sister Ya."
"Hey, sister Xin'er, what's wrong?"
"Sister Ya, please sit down first. Mei'er and Da Guoguo can wash up in a while."
"Okay, sister understands."
Qi Ya smiled slightly and nodded to Ren Qingxin. She walked to Ren Qingxin's dressing table and sat down on the round stool in a dignified manner.
Ren Qingxin glanced sideways at her sweetheart who was washing, and with a regretful expression, she raised her hand and tapped her forehead lightly a few times.
Oops, why did it end up like this? Why did it end up being smeared by Sleeping Lake even though it was so good?
When Da Guoguo saw my silly look just now, he probably wouldn't think I was a silly girl, would he?
After sighing to herself in a very depressed mood, Ren Qingxin cautiously walked to Young Master Liu's side and silently began to wash up.
Young Master Liu spit out the clear salt water in his mouth into the spittoon, smiled and grabbed a towel and placed it on Ren Qingxin's shoulders.
"Girl, I have adjusted the temperature of the hot water for you just now. You can just wash your face later."
Ren Qingxin smiled at Young Master Liu and said with a bottle of clear salt water in her mouth: "Yeah, yeah, sister, I understand. Thank you Daguoguo."
Liu Mingzhi chuckled and shook his head. After washing his face, he picked up the towel on the side and turned towards Qi Ya, who was sitting in front of the dressing table.
"Sister Ya, please help me change my clothes."
"Hey, I know."
Qi Ya immediately stood up, gently shook off the robe in her hand, and with a smile, she pulled Young Master Liu to the full-length mirror and stopped.
"Husband, raise your hands, I will help you change your clothes."
Liu Mingzhi nodded slightly, spread his hands directly, and let Qi Ya help him change his clothes.
"Sister Ya."
When Qi Ya heard this, she said softly without looking back: "Hey, husband, please tell me."
"Sister Ya, Yiyi, Feifei, Chengfeng, Chengzhi, Yue'er, Lingyun, their brothers and sisters, didn't really stay up all night just to stay up late, right?"
When Qi Ya heard her husband's question, she sighed helplessly with a look of helplessness on her pretty face.
"Oh, husband, you are right. Chengfeng, his brothers, sisters and others really didn't sleep all night."
"What? Did you really not sleep?"
"Didn't you sleep? After I got up, I went to their place to have a look. Their brothers and sisters were still playing mahjong at this time!"
Qi Ya spoke angrily, and gently adjusted the jade belt around Liu Mingzhi's waist.
After hearing the beauty's answer, Young Master Liu gently pursed his lips a few times, frowned slightly and shook his head with a chuckle.
"Hehehe, young people are young people, and their energy is good."
Qi Ya took out a ring from her proud and full chest, and carefully put it on Young Master Liu's goblin.
"Oh, what a great energy!
Husband, I dare to bet you that after the brothers and sisters had breakfast, they couldn't make it until 10 noon and had to go back to their respective rooms to catch up on their sleep.
This time I had to sleep until at least ten o'clock in the evening, and I couldn't get up before dinner. "
Listening to Qi Ya's helpless tone, Liu Mingzhi happily walked to Ren Qingxin's dressing table and sat down.
"Hehehe, anyway, apart from going to the palace to pay New Year's greetings to the queen mother and her elders, there is nothing else to be busy with today.
If they want to go back and catch up on their sleep, just let them sleep. "
Qi Ya picked up the wooden comb on the dressing table, and while combing Young Master Liu's messy hair, she said angrily, "
Husband, just spoil these brothers and sisters well. "
"Sister Ya, how can your husband spoil them?
After a busy year, it’s hard to wait until the Spring Festival, but why don’t the children have a happy New Year? "
"Hey! I don't mean that I don't want them to have a good rest. I just think that their brothers and sisters shouldn't be so confused."
As Qi Ya spoke, she put the hair crown on her husband's head and then put the wooden comb in her hand back into the distance.
"Husband, it's done."
Liu Mingzhi looked at himself in the dressing mirror, stood up and stretched.
"Sister Ya, they have already stayed up all night, what use can we say now?
No matter how much you complain now, won't it change the fact that they haven't slept all night? "
When Qi Ya heard Liu Mingzhi's cheerful words, she slapped him on the shoulder with a coquettish expression.
"Husband, you were obviously the one who first asked me if Chengfeng, Yue'er and the others had been up all night, okay? How come it's me who is complaining now?"
Young Master Liu raised his eyebrows and shrugged his shoulders with a smile.
"Really? Why don't I remember my husband?"
"Hehehe, you can paint my body right here."
Regarding her husband's rogue behavior, Qi Ya directly retorted with a smile.
Ren Qingxin looked at Mr. Liu and Qi Ya who were bickering with each other, wiped the water stains on their cheeks, and walked towards Qi Ya with a smile.
"Da Guoguo, sister Ya, I've finished washing up."
After Qi Ya gave Mr. Liu a roll of his eyes, he gestured to Ren Qingxin with a smile.
"Good sister, sit down quickly and let me help you dress up."
"Yeah, yeah, you're welcome, sister. Thank you, Sister Ya."
"Silly sister, what do I have to do with my sister? Sit down quickly."
Ren Qingxin smiled lightly and nodded her head a few times, sitting elegantly on the stool in front of the dressing table.
Qi Ya walked behind Ren Qingxin, picked up the wooden comb, and started to dress her up skillfully.
Seeing this situation, Liu Mingzhi moved his body a few times with a somewhat lazy expression, and walked slowly towards the main hall outside the screen.
"Sister Ya, please help Qingxin girl dress up first, and then go to the garden to prepare for your husband."
"Okay, I understand."
"Girl, Brother Wei, take Liu Song to the warehouse to prepare. See you in the garden."
"I understand, sister, Daguoguo, it's still dark outside, don't forget to bring a lantern for lighting."
After Liu Mingzhi picked up the coat from the chair and put it on, he waved to Ren Qingxin casually, picked up a lantern from behind the door and lit it, then opened the door and walked out.
"Okay, Brother Wei knows, we will see you later."
After gently closing the door, Young Master Liu walked out of the beauty's boudoir with a swaying red lantern in his hand.
As soon as Young Master Liu walked out of the room, he was blown into his arms by the wind and snow outside the room.
He looked up at the flying snow that was still falling in the sky, frowned slightly and tightened the cloak he was wearing, shivering as he walked towards the door.
"Oh my God, it's just as I expected. The snow really didn't stop all night long."
As soon as Mr. Liu left the Xiyuan, he saw many maids busy coming and going under the long corridor in front of him.
"Someone is coming."
The maids in front heard Young Master Liu's shouts and immediately turned around to greet Young Master Liu.
"Sisters, slaves and maids, see the young master and wish him a happy new year."
"Hehehe, no need for gifts, no need for gifts for everyone."
"Thank you, Master."
"Qier."
"My slave is here."
"Go to Liu Song immediately and tell him that I'm waiting for him in the backyard."
"Yes, I understand. Master, do you have any other instructions?"
"No more, go quickly."
"Yes, I will take my leave first."
"You sisters, please go and do your own things together."
"Hey, slave sisters, please leave first."
Young Master Liu watched the maids hurried away. He lit a pot of dry smoke with a smile and headed straight to the backyard of the Liu Mansion.
Arriving all the way outside the warehouse in the backyard, Young Master Liu glanced at the locked warehouse door, squatted on the snow and waited silently.
It took about half a cup of tea.
Liu Song held a lantern in his hand and hurried into the backyard with a large group of Xiao Wu and his brothers.
Seeing Young Master Liu squatting on the ground and smoking a cigarette silently, Liu Song rushed up to him with a lantern.
"I'd like to see the young master and wish him a happy New Year."
"I'm waiting to see the young master and wish him a happy New Year."
Young Master Liu stood up and shook off the snow on his body, pointing to the door of the warehouse with a smile.
"Stop talking nonsense and hurry up to carry the fireworks to the garden."
"Yes, yes, I understand."
Liu Song responded, quickly took out a bunch of keys from his sleeves, and opened the big lock on the warehouse with very smooth movements.
"Brothers, go in quickly and move the fireworks. Be sure to pay attention to the open flames in the lanterns."
"We know, Brother Song, don't worry."
"Brothers, get busy and don't delay the young master's fireworks."
"I'm coming."
"Fifth brother, seven, please open the door of the warehouse wider so that we can go in and out."
When Liu Song saw that all the brothers were already busy, he took out a wine bag from under his cloak and handed it to Young Master Liu with a smile.
"Master, after I got up, I saw that the wind and snow outside had not stopped yet, so I specifically asked Sister Yu'er to warm a pot of wine for you.
It's windy and snowy now, and the weather is so cold. Please drink some wine to keep warm. "
Young Master Liu raised his eyebrows, took a puff of his cigarette, and took the drink into his hand with a smile.
Install the latest version. 】
"Xiaosong, it has to be you!"
"Hehehe, this is what children should do."
Liu Mingzhi looked at Xiao Wu, Xiao Liu and the others who had already started carrying the fireworks. They raised their heads and took a sip of warm wine. After reaching out and patting Liu Song's arm, they took the lead and walked towards the far corner.
Upon seeing this, Liu Song quickly followed Young Master Liu.
"Little five brothers."
"Hey, Brother Song?"
"You can just carry the fireworks into the garden, and I will accompany the young master around."
"Okay, just leave these fireworks to the brothers. Brother Song, just go ahead and do your work."
Young Master Liu slowly walked to the corner of the wall and stopped. He turned around and looked at Liu Song who was walking towards him. He raised his wine bag and took a few sips.
"Master, do you have anything to tell me?"
Liu Mingzhi sipped the drink from the corner of his mouth and gestured to Liu Song with the dry pipe in his hand.
"Xiaosong, do you want a pot?"
Liu Song immediately took out the dry pipe from his waist, and pinched a handful of tobacco from Mr. Liu's pipe with a smile on his face.
"Master, I won't be polite to you anymore."
Liu Mingzhi waved his hand casually, holding up his dry tobacco bag and passing it over.
"Lead it on."
"Okay, okay, thank you young master."
Seeing that Liu Song had lit the tobacco, Young Master Liu took a puff of dry cigarette silently, his brows slightly furrowed in silence.
When Liu Song saw his young master's brows slightly condensed, he smoked a dry cigarette and waited quietly.
After a long time, Young Master Liu looked at Liu Song, who was quietly puffing away his breath, and sighed with complicated eyes.
"Oh, Liu Song."
When Liu Song heard this, he immediately straightened his body and looked at Liu Da nervously.
"The young one is here, young master, tell me."
Young Master Liu looked around and said in a faint tone: "Xiaosong, in the past few months, have the envoys of the Tsarist Russian mission living in Honglu Temple become honest? "
Liu Song's expression tightened, and he looked at Liu Mingzhi's expression of hesitation and shook his head gently.
"Back to the young master, those messengers are still the same as before, making little moves.
Especially in the month or so towards the end of the year, their small actions in private became more and more frequent. "
Young Master Liu frowned and remained silent for a while. After opening his mouth and taking a few sips of wine, he breathed hot air into his slightly cold hands.
"Do you know what little tricks they are doing in private?"
"Back to the young master, I followed your instructions and did not let the brothers pay too much attention to their every move in order to avoid alerting others.
Therefore, Xiao Xiao is not sure what they said when they contacted those people in private.
But don't worry, young master, the brothers have already made a detailed list of those people they have contacted in private.
As long as you want to know what kind of activities they have with those people, young master, you can always send your brothers to bring those people over and interrogate them one by one. "
Young Master Liu nodded silently, narrowed his eyes and took a sip of wine.
"Well, you did a good job."
"Master, do you need to immediately dispatch people to arrest all those who have had contact with the Tsarist Russian envoys and interrogate them one by one?"
Liu Mingzhi narrowed his eyes and was silent for a moment, then shook his head gently.
"Being not."
"Yes, I understand."
