Young Master Liu shook his head helplessly, looked back at Yun Dahai and the others and signaled.
"Dahai, Dajiang, you guys should follow us too."
"I'm coming."
"Come here."
The three brothers responded, each picked up the gift box on the ground, and followed each other's family members towards Liu Dashao and the other two.
"Xiao Mingming, where is this stinky girl Xiaoxi? Why didn't she come out with you to greet my sister?"
Upon hearing Liu Ying's inquiry, Young Master Liu immediately replied: "Auntie, Xiaoxi, Yun'er, Yan'er and the other sisters are preparing tea for you in the living room."
Liu Ying raised her eyebrows and nodded with a clear expression: "I see, then I won't say anything else, sister."
"Hahaha, thank you for your understanding, aunt."
Liu Ying paused slightly, raised her head and gave Young Master Liu a roll of her eyes, then let out a long sigh with slightly parted red lips.
"Hey, sister, I am so considerate of you. When will you be able to be considerate of me, sister?"
Hearing Liu Ying's tone that contained a hint of resentment, Young Master Liu was slightly startled, and a look of confusion flashed in his eyes.
"Aunt, no, what's going on? When did I stop caring about you, kid?"
Liu Ying turned her head and glanced at Yun Dahai and the others. She pulled Young Master Liu's arm slightly with both hands and pulled him straight towards the left front toward the martial arts field.
"Dahai, Dajiang, you guys go to the living room first and accompany your cousin to watch the snow scenery in the house."
Yun Dahai turned to look at Young Master Liu, smiled lightly and nodded.
"I know, kid. Let's see you later."
Liu Ying smiled slightly and waved, holding Young Master Liu's arm and walked forward directly.
Young Master Liu turned around and nodded to Yun Dahai and the others, letting Liu Ying pull him towards the martial arts field ahead.
Soon, Liu Ying, Liu Da's aunt and nephew came to the center of the martial arts field.
Liu Ying slowly stopped, and after letting go of her hands holding Young Master Liu, she squatted on the snow, grabbed a handful of snow, and started rubbing it in her hands.
Upon seeing this, Liu Mingzhi squatted directly next to Liu Ying, reached out and took off the drink from his waist, and took a few sips of the drink with a frown.
"Auntie, now you can tell me, my child, how can I understand you?"
After Liu Ying gently balled up the snow in her hands into a snowball, she turned to look at Young Master Liu with a resentful look.
Feeling Liu Ying's eyes full of resentment, the corners of Young Master Liu's eyes twitched involuntarily.
"Uh! Auntie, if you have something to do, you might as well just say it.
To be honest, when you look at the child like this, I feel a little panicked. "
Seeing Young Master Liu's embarrassed look, Liu Ying slowly turned the round snowball in her hand with one hand, snatched the wine bag from Young Master Liu's hand with the other, and raised her hand to send it towards her red lips.
Liu Da saw this situation and said quickly: "Hey, aunt, this kid has drunk too much just now."
After hearing Young Master Liu's words, Liu Ying paused slightly while drinking and glared at him angrily.
"Hey, what happened to you after you drank?
I remember when you were a little kid, sister, I fed you mouth to mouth.
Even your sister doesn't dislike you, so what do you have to care about. "
Seeing Liu Ying's angry eyes, Young Master Liu's face froze, and he nodded with a wry smile.
"Well, well, since you don't dislike the child, aunt, what else can I say.
Drink, drink, aunt, you can drink as much as you want. "
"Hmph, you still have some conscience."
Liu Ying snorted softly, picked up the wine bag and put it directly into her red lips.
Under Young Master Liu's gaze, Liu Ying raised her jade neck slightly and took a few swigs of wine boldly.
Liu Ying grabbed her sleeve and wiped the wine from the corner of her lips, and couldn't help but let out a wine burp.
"Hiccup, Xiao Mingming!"
"aunt?"
"Xiao Mingming, sister has a question to ask you."
"Auntie, just ask. My child, I will tell you everything you know."
In these words, Young Master Liu's tone could be described as extremely sincere.
Others don't know how much Liu Ying loves her, but she knows it very well.
I can honestly say that no matter what my aunt Liu Ying wants to know from me, I will not hide anything from her.
"Okay, sister, let me ask you, what day is today?"
Hearing such a simple question from Liu Ying, Young Master Liu looked stunned, and immediately said after realizing it: "Auntie, today is the first day of the Lunar New Year!"
Liu Ying saw the confused look on Young Master Liu's face, and took a few more sips of wine with her red lips slightly opened.
"Be specific."
"To be more specific, it is the first day of the seventh year of Dalong Chengping."
"Can you say that again."
"Back to my aunt, today is the first day of Dalong Chengping's seventh year. What's wrong?"
Liu Ying frowned slightly: "What's wrong?"
"Yeah, what's wrong? Nothing seems to be wrong today, right?"
Liu Ying first smashed the round snowball in her hand into the snow at her feet, then raised her hand and grabbed Young Master Liu's ears and twisted them hard a few times.
"Nothing wrong?"
When his ears hurt, Mr. Liu suddenly took a breath of cold air and hurriedly moved towards Liu Ying.
“Hiss—Ouch, it hurts.
Auntie, please be gentle. What I said is the truth. There is nothing wrong with it. "
Hearing Young Master Liu's begging for mercy, Liu Ying grabbed Young Master Liu's ears and twisted them hard a few times.
"You brat, you just said it yourself, today is the first day of Dalong Chengping's seventh year.
It’s been the seventh year of Taiping, and today is the first day of the Lunar New Year!
You know, from March 28, the third year of Taiping, the day when the Western Expeditionary Army went on an expedition of thousands of miles, as of today's New Year's Day, three and a half years have passed.
Three and a half years, that’s three and a half years.
You little bastard, it’s been three and a half years since you took my sister and my man to a foreign country far away from you.
Because of you, sister, I have been alone in my empty house for three and a half years.
Three and a half years, three and a half years, do you know how I lived these three and a half years?
It's better for you, you spend the whole day with Yun'er, Yan'er and the others, and they are loved by men and women.
However, have you ever thought about how my sister and I endured these three and a half years alone? "
As Liu Ying spoke, she raised her jade neck slightly, and took a few more gulps of wine into her throat.
"Especially this heartless little thing. He knew that my sister and I were alone in the empty room and missed my man, but he didn't know how to take the time to comfort my sister.
Xiao Mingming, my sister is suffering! "
finally.
As soon as Liu Ying finished speaking, she began to sob softly.
However, there was no trace of tears in the corners of her eyes.
When Liu Mingzhi saw Liu Ying deliberately pretending to be sobbing softly, he looked at her blankly and remained silent for a long time, her lips trembling slightly without saying a word.
Maybe Liu Ying's words were just a joke.
Perhaps Liu Ying's words were meant as a joke to express her true thoughts.
However, no matter whether these words are joking or true.
Liu Ying's words made Mr. Liu's heart sting sharply.
Arrogantly, the left and right armies led by Nangong Ye went on a thousands-mile expedition to convert the barbarians.
It started on March 28, the third year of Dalong's Taiping Period.
As for today's seventh year of Taiping, the first day of the Lunar New Year, more than three years have passed.
For more than three years, she missed her uncle Yunchong.
How could the hundreds of thousands of wives, children, and children of those who fought in the Western Expedition not miss them?
Liu Mingzhi looked at Liu Ying blankly, silently took out the dry pipe from his waist, and with a trembling arm, used a fire stick to light a pot of tobacco.
After blowing out a puff of smoke, a hint of melancholy flashed through Mr. Liu's eyes.
With the army marching westward, is your decision right or wrong?
It has been seven years since he proclaimed himself emperor.
For the first time in so many years, Liu Mingzhi had the slightest doubt about his decision.
When Liu Ying saw Young Master Liu speechless and confused, her heart suddenly became panicked.
She hurriedly inserted the wine bag in her hand into the thick snow, stretched out her hands, grabbed Mr. Liu's hands and shook them gently.
"Xiao Mingming, are you okay? My sister is just making a joke for you. Don't scare me."
Liu Ying's anxious and panicked tone made Young Master Liu's confused eyes gradually clear up.
Liu Mingzhi felt his aunt Liu Ying's worried gaze and shook his head gently.
"Auntie, the baby is okay, the baby is okay."
Hearing Liu Mingzhi's answer, Liu Ying breathed a sigh of relief, and then spread out a pair of slender arms to hug Young Master Liu into her arms.
"Xiao Mingming, you scared my sister to death. Just be okay. Just be okay.
Xiao Mingming, sister is just making a joke for you, you must not take it seriously.
Don't let your sister's joke just now affect your original plan or even your state of mind.
Otherwise, sister, I will feel guilty for the rest of my life. "
Liu Ying's tone behind her was already choked up involuntarily.
At this moment, Liu Ying's heart was filled with self-blame.
If he had known that his words might affect Xiao Mingming's state of mind, he would not have said such words even if he was beaten to death.
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu Little Mingming, sister is wrong, sister did not mean it."
Liu Ying choked with sobs and expressed her apology to Young Master Liu again.
Liu Ying, who has always been careless and heartless, showed this weak look for the first time.
Liu Mingzhi looked up at the falling snow in the sky, sighed silently, and raised his hand to gently pat his aunt Liu Ying's back.
"Auntie, the baby is okay. The baby is not as fragile as you think."
"real?"
"Yeah, yeah, of course it's true."
Liu Ying raised her brows, pushed Liu Mingzhi away, picked up the wine bag stuck in the snow, raised her jade neck and drank several large gulps of wine.
"You brat, if you didn't tell me earlier, your sister would have made me nervous for so long."
In just a few breaths, Liu Ying's expression changed before and after, as if she was a different person.
When Liu Dashan saw the changes in his aunt Liu Ying, he just chuckled happily, without any dissatisfaction in his heart.
He knew very well that Liu Ying's change was just intentional on her part.
Liu Mingzhi reached out and patted the snow on Liu Ying's cloak, and stood up happily.
"Auntie, have you forgiven the child?"
Liu Ying stood up with the wine bag and glared at Young Master Liu angrily.
"Xiao Mingming, please don't say that. If you don't blame your sister, you are already your sister and I will burn incense."
Liu Mingzhi turned around and blew out a puff of smoke, reached for the wine bag in Liu Ying's hand, and took a few sips of the wine happily.
"Hehehe, I don't dare, kid, I don't dare."
"I hope so, otherwise sister, I will feel guilty for the rest of my life."
Liu Mingzhi chuckled, shook his head, and took the lead to walk outside the martial arts arena.
"Auntie, let's talk while walking."
Liu Ying leaned over and grabbed a handful of snow again, and chased after Young Master Liu quickly.
"coming."
Young Master Liu turned his eyes and looked at Liu Ying who was following him. He opened his mouth and took a puff of the dry cigarette, then directly handed the wine bag in his hand to Liu Yao.
"Auntie, are you still drinking?"
Liu Ying nodded slightly and took the wine bag into her hand without hesitation: "Of course I have to drink it. It's cold wind and heavy snow. It's best to drink some wine to warm yourself up."
"aunt."
"Huh? What?"
"Auntie, if you really miss your uncle, when the spring comes, the child will immediately send a letter from the golden eagle to transfer your uncle back to the capital from thousands of miles away."
After listening to Young Master Liu's words, Liu Ying suddenly stopped about to drink and looked at Young Master Liu shaking her head hurriedly.
"No, no, no, Xiao Mingming, you must not do this.
Don’t you know what kind of character that rotten wood from your sister’s house has?
Oh, Xiao Mingming.
Sister, I have to say that the generals of the Six Guards of Northern Xinjiang are all of the same virtue.
My sister doesn't want to delay that rotten piece of wood from continuing to make contributions on the battlefield because of herself.
Otherwise, when that piece of rotten wood returns to the capital, he will definitely have a big quarrel with my sister.
As the saying goes, a good man has his ambitions everywhere.
Many years ago, from the moment I was going to leave the court and marry that piece of wood as my wife, I was mentally prepared.
Sister, it is true that I am complaining, and it is also true that I am dissatisfied.
However, my sister does not want to affect the country of our Dalong Dynasty because of me.
Especially, it is Jiangshan Sheji under your control, Xiao Mingming. "
"Auntie, I just..."
Before Young Master Liu could finish his sentence, he was interrupted directly by Liu Ying.
"Xiao Mingming."
Liu Mingzhi suddenly stopped and looked at Liu Ying with complex eyes.
"aunt."
Liu Ying slowly stopped and raised her hand to pat the snow on Young Master Liu's cloak a few times.
"Xiao Mingming."
"Hey, aunt, tell me, my kid is listening."
"Xiao Mingming, sister, I am just a female prostitute.
In terms of eyesight, sister, I am far inferior to your father and my eldest brother.
When it comes to far-sightedness, I feel even more ashamed than you, a brat like you.
I don’t have any big demands for you, sister.
If you can take good care of Xiaoxi, mother and son, this is the best reward for my sister. "
"aunt."
