"Dad? What's wrong?"
Liu Mingzhi nodded and took a sip of the drink, then smiled and waved to Liu Chengqian.
"Cheng Qian, come here for a moment?"
"Okay, here we come."
Liu Chengqian quickly put down the bowl in his hand, stood up with a slightly confused look, walked to Young Master Liu and stopped.
"Dad, what's the matter with calling the kid over?"
Liu Mingzhi casually took out the tobacco bag from his waist, stood up and walked out towards the hall door.
Liu Chengqian looked at his father's back in confusion, and had no choice but to follow him.
"Dad, are you okay?"
Hearing Sanzi's slightly nervous tone, Liu Dashaodan smiled and waved his hand, leaned sideways behind the door, lit his tobacco happily and took a long puff.
"Huh-it's okay, don't be nervous."
Liu Chengqian breathed a sigh of relief when he heard his father's cheerful tone.
"As long as it's okay, it'll be okay."
Seeing this, Liu Zhi'an picked up a glass of wine, stood up and walked out towards the hall door.
"Grandpa? Have you eaten?"
Liu Zhi'an waved his hand cheerfully: "I haven't eaten yet. I have been sitting for a long time. Get up and move your body."
"All right."
Liu Mingzhi took a sip of his drink and looked at Liu Chengqian, who still had doubts in his eyes, with a smile.
"Chengqian."
"The child is here."
"How have you been getting along with Tong'er girl in the past few days?"
As soon as Young Master Liu finished speaking, Liu Zhi'an immediately moved his gaze to Liu Chengqian, staring at his grandson's face with interest.
After hearing his father's question, Liu Chengqian thought for a moment and probably guessed why his father called him.
Liu Chengqian stretched out his hand and scratched his head, and chuckled a few times with an embarrassed look on his face.
"Hehehe, it's good. We get along well."
Liu Mingzhi turned around and blew out a puff of smoke, then nodded with a smile: "As long as it's good, that's good.
So when you and Tong'er were alone, did you two talk in private about your life-long events? "
As soon as Young Master Liu finished speaking, Liu Zhi'an hurriedly echoed: "Yes, yes, God, have you mentioned to Tong'er girl about when you two will get married?"
Liu Chengqian's face became more and more embarrassed when he heard his grandfather's urgent tone.
"Grandpa, you! This!"
When Liu Zhi'an saw Liu Chengqian's reaction, he immediately frowned angrily, raised his hand and slapped him on the head.
"Oh, you brat, why don't you tell me this quickly?
As a manly man, a seven-foot-tall man, how can he be more shy than the little girl's family.
What are you embarrassed to say about life-long events? "
Liu Chengqian reached out and touched his head and nodded hurriedly.
"Yes, yes, I know I was wrong."
"Then tell me quickly, have you mentioned to Tong'er girl about when you two will get married?"
"Reply to grandpa and mention it."
Hearing his grandson's answer, Liu Zhi'an's eyes suddenly lit up.
Liu Mingzhi paused slightly while drinking, and looked at Sanzi curiously.
"Good grandson, please tell grandpa what Tong'er girl means."
"Grandpa, what Tong'er means is that it all depends on the parents.
Whenever my father and mother, as well as Uncle and Aunt Zhou let us get married, she would marry me. "
Liu Zhi'an nodded happily, raised his head and drank the wine in the glass, then looked towards Young Master Liu happily.
"Bastard, you heard it. The two children are now in love with each other, and they have no problems anymore.
As for the rest, it's up to you, Yun Yatou, Yan'er Yatou and you two. "
Liu Mingzhi looked at his son in front of him, took a puff of the cigarette, and nodded happily.
"Old man, I know this, and I will discuss with Baoyu as soon as possible the marriage between Cheng Qian and Tong'er."
Liu Zhi'an nodded happily, turned the wine glass in his hand, turned and walked towards the dinner table.
"You have to hold on tight. If you delay my grandson's life-long event, I will never be done with you."
When Young Master Liu heard the words Liu Zhian left for him, he rolled his eyes angrily.
"I know, I know, go and eat your meal quickly."
"Dad, that child?"
Liu Mingzhi glanced at Sanzi's questioning eyes and shook his head casually.
"Okay, you can go back and continue eating."
"Yes, the child knows."
Liu Chengqian nodded, turned back to his original position and sat down again.
"Brother, have you finished talking about the business?"
Liu Mingzhi turned to look at his third brother Liu Mingjie, chuckled and nodded: "That's it, Mingjie, what can I do for you?"
"Brother, today is the Chinese New Year, how can we brothers do this if we don't have a few drinks?
Come on, come on, Brother Jiuniu, we brothers will have a good drink. "
Young Master Liu nodded cheerfully, leaned over and knocked out the unburnt shreds of tobacco from the smoke pot, and walked towards the table where Liu Xuan, Jiuniu, and Liu Mingjie sat with a smile.
"Okay, I'll have a few drinks with you for my brother's sake."
When Liu Yaoyao saw this, he immediately stood up and gave up his position with a smile.
"Dad, just sit on Yaoyao's chair. Yaoyao go sit next to you."
Young Master Liu pinched Liu Yaoyao's cheek and sat on the chair with a smile on his face.
"Oh, what a good daughter for my father."
As soon as Young Master Liu sat down, Liu Mingjie picked up the pot and poured him a glass of wine.
"Come on, big brother, little brother and Jiuniu brother will toast you first."
"Brother, Jiuniu respects you."
"Drink together, drink together."
Liu Xuan put down her rice bowl and immediately picked up her wine glass.
"Brother, there is Xuan'er here too. Xuan'er will also have a few drinks with you."
"Hehehe, then let's drink together, drink together."
Soon.
The brothers and sisters, who were already half-full, started to change cups.
After the little cutie, Liu Lingyun, Liu Zhenghao and their brothers and sisters were full, they immediately put down their bowls and quickly gathered around.
"Good daddy, Yue'er will help you pour the wine."
"Hehehe, stinky girl, you still have some filial piety."
"That's right, I am your best daughter, so of course I must be filial to you."
"Uncle Jiuniu, third uncle, and nephew are here to help you pour wine."
Liu Mingjie stood up and sat on the chair next to him, and then pushed Liu Zhenghao onto the chair.
"You brat, why are you pouring the wine? Come on, let's have a few drinks with our two uncles first."
"ah?"
"Ah what? You are an adult now, what's wrong with drinking?"
"This! Well, then my nephew will be disrespectful."
"Aunt Xuan'er, Aunt Xuan'er, just concentrate on drinking with your father and two uncles. Lingyun will help you pour the wine."
"Okay, Lingyun is so good, so I'll thank you for the hard work."
"Hehehe, it should be, it should be."
After Liu Mingjie poured the wine for Liu Zhenghao, he looked at the three Liu Chengfeng brothers with a smile.
"Ride the wind, carry your ambition, and achieve your goals."
Brothers Liu Chengfeng, Liu Chengzhi, and Liu Chengqian immediately put down their bowls and looked up at their third uncle Liu Mingzhi.
"Third uncle?"
"Third uncle, what's wrong?"
"If you three are almost done eating, why don't you sit over and have some drinks together."
Liu Chengzhi and his three brothers are similar in age to Liu Mingjie, and they have grown up with their third uncle since childhood.
Needless to say, the relationship between the four of them, uncle and nephew, goes without saying.
Upon hearing Third Uncle's invitation, the three brothers looked at each other, immediately stood up and walked towards Liu Mingjie.
"Okay, Third Uncle, you've already spoken, then the three of us brothers will have a few drinks with you."
"Third uncle, my nephew is a big drinker now, so you have to take it easy."
"Yunxin, Lianniang, Shuang'er, you go sit with me, and I will drink with my third uncle."
"I know, Shuang'er, get up now."
"Hey, eldest brother, second brother, third brother, please sit down quickly."
"Third brother, please sit here with Lian Niang."
The three little sisters immediately stood up with their rice bowls in hand and made way for their three brothers.
"Zhengran, why don't you come and have a drink?"
"Then drink some."
As soon as Liu Chengzhi, Liu Chengqian and their brothers had poured the wine, they raised their glasses and gestured to Liu Xuan, Jiuniu and the others.
"Uncle Jiuniu, Aunt Xuan'er, Third Uncle, my nephews and brothers will give you a drink first."
"Drink together, drink together."
"Chengfeng, you brats can't help your father get us drinks."
"Aunt Xuan'er, my nephew, how dare you, let's drink together, drink together."
"That's very good. If you dare to drink wine from us, my aunt will not spare you."
"Don't dare, aunt, my nephew respects you."
"cheers."
With Liu Chengfeng, Liu Chengqian, his brothers and others joining in.
In just a few moments, the main hall became noisy.
As time passed quietly, more and more people began to drink in the hall.
After three rounds of wine, five flavors of food.
Young Master Liu, Liu Xuan and the others' faces were more or less rosy.
Qi Yun put down the bowl in her hand and raised her eyes to look at the sky outside the hall. After standing up with a dignified manner, she walked gently towards her husband who was drinking with Jiuniu and Liu Xuan.
"Husband, husband."
"Hiccup." Young Master Liu burped softly. With a rosy face, he looked up at Qi Yun who was standing behind him and asked, "Yun'er, what's wrong?"
"Husband, please drink less, it's getting late.
I estimate that in about half an hour, someone will come to our house to pay New Year greetings.
If you are drunk, how will you meet others at that time? "
Liu Mingzhi chuckled and shook his head, raised his head and drank down the drink in his hand.
"Oh, it's the same as in previous years, you sisters just help your husband deal with them.
Yun'er, it's not like you don't know that over the years, as my husband, I have really had enough of hearing the same set of congratulatory messages from civil and military officials. "
When Qi Yun saw Liu Mingzhi carrying a pot and pouring wine again, her charming face shook her head helplessly and quickly reached out to stop him.
"Husband, if only the civil and military officials from the court come to your home to pay New Year's greetings, my sisters can naturally help you deal with it.
However, husband, don’t forget it.
When girl Jingyao gave birth to her child, our aunt, Dahai, Dajiang, Dahe and their three cousins, and our thirteenth aunt had all returned to the capital.
All civil and military officials in the court, as well as dignitaries and prominent families in the capital come to our home to pay New Year's greetings. You can find an excuse not to see them.
However, if our aunt and thirteenth aunt come to visit, you can't just ignore me, husband, right? "
After hearing the beauty's reminder, Liu Mingzhi immediately put down the wine glass in his hand and nodded with a clear expression.
"Yes, yes, thanks to Yun'er's reminder, my husband almost forgot about the fact that my aunt and Thirteenth Aunt were still in the capital.
No more drinking, no more drinking. "
When Qi Yun saw Liu Mingzhi put down his wine glass, he nodded a few times with a smile on his face.
"That's pretty much it."
Liu Mingzhi stood up and stretched his body, then looked at Liu Xuan, Liu Mingjie and the others with a smile.
"Jiuniu, Xuan'er, Mingjie, as my brother has other business matters, I won't continue drinking with you."
Liu Xuan and Liu Mingjie also heard what Qi Yun told Young Master Liu just now.
Therefore, they naturally agreed.
"Brother, Xuan'er understands. If you have something to do, just get busy with it first."
"Yes, yes, brother, you don't need to worry about us, just go and get down to business first."
"Xuan'er, you two should control yourself. Don't let your aunt and thirteenth aunt arrive by then, but you are so drunk that you can't even stand up straight."
"Hey, I understand, little brother."
"Brother, don't worry, Xuan'er will definitely not drink too much."
Liu Mingzhi nodded slightly and started walking directly out of the hall door.
"Yun'er."
"Hey, husband?"
"Yun'er, have you finished eating?"
"Go back to my husband, I've already eaten."
"As long as you're full, go back with your husband and change into formal clothes."
"Yes, I know."
Qi Yun responded softly and immediately chased after her husband.
"Mom, it's almost time. Someone will come to visit you later to pay New Year's greetings. My dear, I will go back to the room to change into formal clothes."
"Okay, okay, Mom knows, you should go back to your room first."
"Dad, mother, my daughter-in-law is going back with her husband first."
"go Go."
Liu Zhi'an watched Young Master Liu off. After Qi Yun and his wife walked away, he was silent for a moment with his brows slightly furrowed in thought, and hurriedly looked at Mrs. Liu who was sitting aside.
"lady."
"Master, what's wrong?"
"Husband, do you think this boy Zhou Baoyu will bring his family to our house today to pay New Year's greetings?"
Upon hearing Liu Zhian's question, Mrs. Liu's eyes suddenly lit up and her expression became surprised.
However, then she seemed to think of something, and Liu Mei frowned slightly and shook her head.
"Master, I don't know either. After all, Zhi'er didn't tell us whether Zhou Baoyu and his wife are still in the capital."
As soon as Mrs. Liu finished speaking, she looked directly at the third princess.
"Yan'er, do you know?"
"Mother, as far as I know, Tong'er and her family are all living in the capital now?
As for whether they will come to our house today to pay New Year greetings, it’s hard for my daughter-in-law to say. "
Mrs. Liu nodded with a smile and immediately turned to look at Liu Zhian.
"Master, you heard it."
Liu Zhi'an nodded slightly, put down the teacup in his hand, and reached out to fumble inside his sleeves.
In the blink of an eye, Liu Zhi'an took out a large stack of banknotes from his sleeve.
"Master, what are you doing?"
Liu Zhi'an took out a five thousand tael silver note from a stack of silver notes and handed it to Mrs. Liu happily.
"Madam, wrap it up in a red envelope and wait for Tong'er to come to your door."
"Master, what if they don't come to pay New Year's greetings?"
"Be prepared!"
"Okay, I know."
