"Oh, is it that exaggerated?"
Liu Mingzhi refilled a glass of wine for himself and looked at Liu Zhi'an calmly.
"Old man, what do you think?"
Liu Zhian stared at Young Master Liu blankly for a while, then nodded with a smile.
"I know very well how strong your character is.
From the fact that these four words came out of your mouth, it seems that you are indeed under a lot of pressure. "
Liu Mingzhi placed the wine bottle on the low table and stared at the float on the water with a look full of vicissitudes of life.
"It doesn't matter if the pressure is too high. I'm afraid I might fall into the water accidentally."
Liu Zhi'an lit a pot of dry smoke, held the pipe with his eyes slightly narrowed, and started puffing away.
"I heard that your son will be crown prince and crown prince this year. Have you decided which child to crown?"
When Young Master Liu heard this, he looked slightly stunned and looked at Liu Zhi'an with doubtful eyes.
"Old man, who did you hear about this?"
Liu Zhi'an didn't hide anything. He glanced at Young Master Liu with a smile and said directly: "Your mother."
"Huh? Did you hear it from my mother?"
"right."
"Really? It's just that I don't remember when I mentioned to my mother that I plan to create a crown prince this year?"
Liu Zhi'an slowly exhaled a puff of smoke: "While you were chatting with Ya'er, your mother overheard the conversation between the two of you when she passed by.
Then, she informed the old man about it. "
After listening to Liu Zhi'an's explanation, Young Master Liu nodded in realization.
"I see."
Seeing Young Master Liu's reaction, Liu Zhi'an raised his eyebrows with a half-smile.
"You believe it now, aren't you afraid that I will lie to you?"
Young Master Liu nodded, drank a glass of wine, turned to look at Liu Zhi'an, smiled and shook his head.
"Sister Ya is my young master's wife. We have been sleeping together as husband and wife for decades. I know best what kind of character Sister Ya is like, my young master.
I know very well that Sister Ya is not the kind of person with a big mouth.
Moreover, I didn't intend to hide this matter deliberately.
Otherwise, I, the young master, would not have chatted with Sister Ya in the yard about the appointment of the crown prince.
Besides, I know your character very well, old man.
As for my young master, I want to establish the crown prince and crown prince. It is certainly a very important matter for the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty.
However, for you, old man, it is nothing too important.
Therefore, there is absolutely no need for you to lie to me about something you don't care about at all. "
Liu Zhi Andan nodded with a smile and picked up his teacup.
"Hehehe, you see it quite clearly."
"Then you see, it's a very simple matter."
Liu Zhi'an took a sip of the wine, was silent for a moment thoughtfully, and glanced at Young Master Liu indifferently.
"Have you decided who to appoint as the crown prince?"
"Think about it, kid Chengzhi."
Hearing Young Master Liu's answer, Liu Zhi'an stopped slightly while drinking, and a subtle look of surprise flashed in his eyes.
Immediately afterwards, his eyes returned to calmness, and he took a sip of the drink with his usual expression.
"Is this kid Chengzhi?"
Young Master Liu frowned slightly when he heard Liu Zhi'an's tone, gently turned the wine glass in his hand, and looked at him with strange eyes.
"Why, do you think Chengzhi is not a suitable child?"
Liu Zhi'an looked at Mr. Liu's strange eyes and waved his hand with a smile.
"Very good, very good."
Young Master Liu picked up the pot and poured a glass of wine for Liu Zhi'an, and nodded with a half-smile.
"Old man, are you sincere?
Why do I feel that your tone has a vague meaning of insincerity? "
Liu Zhi'an glared at Mr. Liu angrily, raised his head and drank the wine in the glass.
After wiping the wine from the corners of his mouth with his fingers, he placed the wine glass heavily on the low table next to him.
"You bastard, of course I am telling the truth. When did I not mean what I said? Don't you fucking set a trap for me."
Young Master Liu raised his eyebrows slightly, and after refilling Liu Zhi'an's glass of wine, he sneered slightly.
"Hehehe, old man, shouldn't your reaction now be called angry?"
Liu Zhi'an took a long puff of dry cigarette and rolled his eyes at Young Master Liu with a look of disgust.
"I'm so embarrassed about your grandma...your aunt and grandma's legs, go to hell with your mother."
Young Master Liu smiled nonchalantly at the old man's curses. He happily picked up his wine glass and took two sips of the drink.
"Old man, what you just said, are you really sincere?"
"Nonsense, of course it's my sincere words."
Young Master Liu took a long breath, chuckled and shook his head: "Hehehe, I don't believe it."
Liu Zhi'an's face froze, and the corners of his eyes twitched involuntarily.
"You bastard, if you don't fucking believe me, then why are you asking me?"
When Young Master Liu was about to say something, Liu Yuan suddenly stood up and pointed toward the water with an excited expression.
"Master, master, a fish is hooked."
Liu Zhi'an's face lit up, he hurriedly put down the pipe in his hand, and grabbed the fishhook in his hand with excitement.
"Hahaha, finally a fish took the bait. With such strength, it seems to be a big deal.
Liu Yuan, prepare the fish basket quickly. "
"Okay, old slave, get ready now."
Liu Zhian smiled and grabbed the fishing rod in his hand. After swimming the fish smoothly for a while, he lifted the fishing rod vigorously.
"Sir, the crucian carp is a crucian carp. It weighs at least two kilograms based on its size."
Liu Zhi'an's face turned pale, and he laughed and pointed at the big crucian carp still jumping alive on the hook.
"Hahaha, hahaha, okay, okay, take the hook quickly, take the hook quickly."
"Okay, leave it to the old slave."
Liu Yuan put the two-pound crucian carp into the fish basket, returned to his original position and sat down again with a smile on his face.
"Master, you caught such a big crucian carp right from the start. Madam, Master, Madam, and Miss, they all took it orally today."
Liu Zhi'an gave Mr. Liu a proud look, laughed loudly, put the bait on the fishhook, and threw the fishhook into the water again.
"Hahaha, it's trivial, it's trivial.
It’s just a small crucian carp weighing more than two kilograms, where is it? "
Seeing the proud expression of his old man, Mr. Liu leaned forward and looked at his float.
When he saw that his float was just floating quietly on the water with no movement at all, he sat up straight with a look of disappointment on his face.
"Indeed, it's just a small crucian carp weighing more than two pounds. It's really just a trivial matter."
"Hehehe, Xiaowei is indeed Xiaowei, why don't you catch a Xiaowei and show it to me?
You can't even catch a small fish, how dare you say such a thing? "
Young Master Liu's face froze, and he lifted the fishing rod in his hand with an angry expression.
He checked the bait on the hook, and after confirming that there was nothing wrong with the bait, he threw the bait into the water again.
"What's the hurry? What's the hurry? Don't you know you can't eat hot tofu in a hurry?"
Liu Zhian heard Young Master Liu groaning
After hearing Chi's words, he drank a glass of wine with a smile.
"Hehehe, I will just wait and see how interesting the hot tofu you will catch later is."
"Old man, you have to be mentally prepared, otherwise your jaw will drop in shock later."
Liu Zhi'an raised his eyebrows and took a puff of dry cigarette with a smile on his face.
"Hahaha, hahaha, interesting, interesting!"
Young Master Liu glanced at his float, which was still motionless, and picked up his wine glass half-heartedly.
"Old man, there is no bait to take the bait now, let's continue the topic we just talked about."
When Liu Zhi'an heard this, his face was slightly startled, and he rolled his eyes at Young Master Liu with disgust on his face.
"Just talking, what's there to talk about?
No matter how much we continue talking, I will still say what I said just now. "
"Oh, is it so?"
"Nonsense, I'll borrow the question you just asked. Do you think I'm joking with you?"
Young Master Liu stared at Liu Zhi'an seriously, looked up and down a few times, chuckled and shook his head.
"From the look on your face, old man, I don't think you are joking."
"That's alright. In that case, is there any need for us to continue talking?"
Young Master Liu narrowed his eyes and nodded noncommittally.
"If you let me do the talking, of course I think it is necessary to continue the conversation."
Liu Zhi'an looked embarrassed, turned around and glanced at Young Master Liu, and shook his head helplessly.
"Okay, okay, I'm really convinced by you. Just tell me. Just tell me."
Looking at Liu Zhi'an, who looked slightly helpless, Mr. Liu chuckled and took out the tobacco bag from his waist, and silently lit a pot of shredded tobacco.
"Old man, it doesn't matter whether you feel bored or not.
I still want to ask you one more time, do you really think it’s good for Chengzhi to inherit the throne? "
Liu Zhi'an frowned slightly, his eyes were silent for a moment, then he picked up a peanut from the plate and threw it into his mouth.
"Is it important?"
Young Master Liu looked stunned and looked towards Liu Zhi'an with doubt in his eyes.
"Huh? Master, I don't quite understand what you mean."
Liu Zhi'an opened his mouth and took a puff of cigarette. He glanced sideways at Young Master Liu with a smile.
"Why, is it difficult to understand what I said?"
"I seem to understand, but I don't seem to understand."
"You bastard, I want to ask you about your intention to appoint this boy Chengzhi as the crown prince and let him inherit that chair in the future.
Is my opinion really important to you?
I think Chengzhi is a suitable child, what should you do?
I think this guy Chengzhi is not suitable, what should you do? "
Young Master Liu looked at Liu Zhi'an, who looked like an old man, and frowned subconsciously.
"This! I...I..."
Seeing that Young Master Liu was hesitant and unable to explain why, Liu Zhi'an chuckled and shook his head, then raised his glass and gestured to Young Master Liu.
"Come, let's have a drink together."
Young Master Liu pursed his lips and immediately raised his glass in response.
"Old man, I would like to propose a toast to you."
Liu Zhi'an put down his wine glass, with a faint smile on his lips, and filled the pot with two more drinks.
"Look, you yourself hesitated about naming this boy Chengzhi as your successor.
In this case, does my opinion on this matter really matter to you?
If I tell you that Chengzhi is not suitable to be the crown prince, will you make changes based on my advice?
On the contrary, I am telling you that your decision is very correct. This child Chengzhi is very
He is suitable to be appointed as the crown prince and heirloom, and he is very suitable to become the next emperor of my Dalong.
Do you really have no worries at all in your heart? "
As Liu Zhi'an spoke, he picked up his wine glass and gestured to Young Master Liu again.
"Come, let's have another drink."
Young Master Liu nodded silently and picked up his wine glass with a sad expression.
"Old man, I would like to toast you with another drink."
Young Master Liu swallowed the drink in his mouth and immediately picked up the pot to refill the old man and himself.
Liu Zhi'an pinched a peanut and threw it into his mouth, then leaned over and knocked out the ashes from the smoke pot.
"You little bastard, let me put it this way.
If you really didn't have the slightest concern in your heart, you wouldn't keep asking me this question over and over again. "
[In view of the general environment,
Young Master Liu was startled. He looked at Liu Zhi'an and pursed his lips for a long time, and finally just sighed softly.
"I...I...sigh..."
"Liu Yuan."
"Hey, sir?"
"then."
"yes."
Liu Zhi'an handed the fishing rod in his hand to Liu Yuan, stood up and stretched, pacing slowly on the unmelted snow by the river with his hands behind his back.
"Bastard, do you know? Ever since you sat in that position, your personality has changed a bit."
Liu Mingzhi frowned and looked up at Liu Zhi'an.
"Have I changed? Have I changed?"
Liu Zhian lowered his eyes slightly and glanced at Young Master Liu, then nodded with a smile.
"It's changed, it's not a small change."
Liu Mingzhi thought in silence for a long time, then looked up at Liu Zhi'an again.
"Old man, what has become of me, young master? Have I become suspicious by nature?"
Liu Zhian raised his eyebrows and shook his head with a smile.
"Of course not. Before you sat on that chair, you were also suspicious by nature."
"Ah? That's what you said, old man, how have I changed, young master?"
Liu Zhi'an stopped and looked at Young Master Liu with a smile.
"I have become less confident."
"What? Have you become less confident?"
"Yes, I have become less confident."
Young Master Liu frowned, glanced at the float which was still motionless, casually placed the fishing rod on the wooden stand, stood up and looked towards Liu Zhi'an with a puzzled look on his face.
"This! This! Where do you start talking about this?"
"Hehehe, you bastard, you bastard.
I ask you, back in the day, when you were still a minister, what do you think of your father-in-law, Li Zheng?
Is he a wise king? Is he a qualified emperor? "
Liu Mingzhi was silent for a moment thoughtfully, and nodded vigorously.
"In my young master's heart, he is not only a wise king, but also a qualified emperor.
It seems that I am not the only one who thinks so. The civil and military officials above the court and the people all over the world also think so.
Otherwise, after his death, he would not be known as an unparalleled hero. "
Liu Zhi'an raised his hand and stroked the beard on his chin, and nodded with a smile.
"You little bastard, you and Li Zheng are both king and minister, and son-in-law.
The relationship between you, the monarch and your minister, is a good story in the court and in the countryside.
So, based on your understanding of Li Zheng, do you think he is satisfied with his achievements in this life? "
