Unfortunately.
Hope, after all, is just hope.
Time is something that doesn't really stop just because you have expectations.
In the sound of the two people talking, the sun gradually went westward until it set in the west.
Staring at the bend that reflected half of the sky red, Qinglian took out her handkerchief and wiped the mist from her eyes, then turned to look at her husband lying on her lap.
"Husband, it's evening, the sun is going down."
This short sentence is full of melancholy.
Liu Mingzhi stared at the setting sun in the sky, nodded silently, and said in the same sad tone: "Yes, the sun is going to set soon."
"I occasionally sighed that time flies by so fast.
However, I just felt today that time can actually fly by so fast.
After the sun goes down, tomorrow is getting closer. "
Liu Mingzhi straightened up and sat up, reaching out and gently patting the back of the beauty's hand a few times.
“I can’t stop it, I can’t stop it.
Since it's blocked, I know I can only be happy. "
Qingliantan took a few deep breaths with her mouth slightly open, and wiped the reddish corners of her eyes again with a handkerchief.
"Be happy? You said it lightly, I have to be happy too.
Forget about concubine, can you be happy? "
Liu Mingzhi turned sideways and picked up the tobacco bag that Qinglian had hidden behind his back. He stood up and stretched his hands to move his waist a few times.
Looking at the beauty, she smiled bitterly and said: "Hehehe, Lian'er, you have to be happy even if you can't be happy.
Even if you are forced to be happy, you still have to be happy.
Otherwise, what else can be done? .
Don't let her get married? Do you think that's possible? "
Qinglian picked up the already empty wine bag next to her, stood up and straightened the messy skirt behind her.
"Husband, I promise not to cry, okay?"
Hearing Qinglian's words, Young Master Liu was amused.
With this smile, some of the sadness in his heart instantly dissipated.
"Hahaha, hahaha." Young Master Liu smiled and pinched the beauty's nose twice with his fingers, and said, "Okay, of course."
Qinglian slapped her husband's wrist away and rolled her eyes angrily.
"Smile, smile, I feel so sad that you can still laugh. Do you still have a conscience?"
Young Master Liu scratched his head and brows with his fingers and sighed helplessly.
"Lian'er, have you forgotten something?"
When Qinglian heard this, her pretty face was slightly startled: "Huh? Something? What is it?"
The corners of Liu Mingzhi's mouth were raised, and he looked at the beauty with a half-smile. He first pointed in the direction of Qingfeng Pavilion, and then pointed at himself.
"Lian'er, you are here to comfort me, my husband."
Listening to her husband's strange tone, Qinglian looked strangely silent for a while, then scratched the back of her neck with an embarrassed look.
"Uh...I...what..."
Qinglian groaned for a long time, but in the end she didn't say anything.
"Oh." The beauty suddenly let out a sweet cry, lightly stomped her lotus feet a few times, and directly used the two-finger Zen technique to twist Young Master Liu's waist.
"We are a couple, it makes no difference who comforts the other."
"Hehehe, yes, yes, it doesn't matter who comforts anyone."
Young Master Liu raised his head and looked at the pleasant haze on the horizon, then reached out and held the beauty's white and tender hands.
"Lian'er, the sun is going to set soon, and it's time for us to go back.
If they don't go back, Yun'er, Yan'er, Sister Ya and Sister Shan should be worried. "
Qinglian also raised her head and glanced at the haze in the sky. She clasped her backhand tightly with Liu Dashao's palm and nodded her head gently a few times.
"Yeah, I listen to you, then go back."
Time goes really fast.
When Young Master Liu and Qinglian returned to Qingfeng Pavilion together.
The setting sun on the horizon has already set halfway.
"Ah, husband."
"Husband, sister Lian'er, you are finally back."
"Husband, sister Lian'er."
"Dad, aunt."
"Dad, Aunt Lian'er."
"Well, I'm back."
Liu Yiyi walked up to Young Master Liu with red eyes and gave her a gentle blessing.
"Father, mother, you are back."
Liu Mingzhi looked at Liu Yiyi lovingly, then reached out and patted his shoulder.
"Good girl, Daddy is okay, Daddy is okay."
"Yeah, yeah, that's good, that's good."
"Yun'er."
"Hey, I'm here."
"It's getting late. Send someone to the kitchen to inform you and prepare dinner."
"Yes, I understand."
Qi Yun responded and immediately looked at her personal maid Yu'er.
"Yu'er, go ahead."
"Yes, I will come back as soon as you go."
After Yu'er trotted away with her skirt in hand, Qi Yun once again set her sights on Young Master Liu.
"Husband, shall we have dinner today in the main hall? Or in the garden?"
Liu Mingzhi gently shook the folding fan in his hand, looked up into space with a smile.
"Hehehe, today is the 15th, which is a good day to admire the moon.
If we go to the main hall to eat, wouldn't we be living up to the moonlight tonight? "
Seeing her husband speaking like this, Qi Yun still didn't understand what Mr. Liu meant.
She smiled slightly, nodded, and replied softly: "Yeah, I understand, I understand."
The third princess smiled and immediately looked at her personal maid.
"Ming'er."
"My slave is here."
"You should rush to the kitchen immediately and inform your sister Yu'er that when the food and wine are ready, bring them directly to the pavilion."
"Yes, I will take my leave first."
After the third princess's personal maid left, sisters Qinglian, Qi Ya, and Yun Qingshi also greeted their own personal maids.
Some call the maids to prepare lanterns, and some call the maids to prepare the table.
Qi Ya greeted her personal maid and went to the backyard to prepare drinks.
Liu Mingzhi gently shook the jade fan in his hand, slowly walked to the lawn next to the path and sat down.
"Yue'er."
"Dad, what's wrong?"
Young Master Liu looked at the little cutie happily, and gently patted the grass beneath him with his hand.
"Go find some pieces of silk and bring them over. As a father, I don't want to sit down. I plan to lie down for a while."
The little cutie turned slightly and pointed directly at the pavilion next to her.
"Dad, can you do the tablecloth? They are all clean."
Young Master Liu took the opportunity to look at the pavilion a dozen steps away and nodded happily.
"Okay, just bring it over."
The little cutie nodded with a smile and ran directly into the pavilion.
Uh-huh, daddy, please wait a moment, Yue'er will be back soon. "
Soon, the little cutie ran to Young Master Liu with a smile and held a few pieces of cloth, and threw the cloth in his hand on the grass at his feet.
"Dad, Boo is here."
Immediately, the little cutie half-knelt on the grass, picked up the cloth and started playing with it on the grass.
In just over twenty breaths, the little cutie spread seven or eight pieces of cloth on the grass one by one.
Seven or eight pieces of cloth of the same size are spread together, which is more than enough for fifteen or six people to lie down on.
Liu Dashu couldn't help but look stunned when he saw this situation.
"Yue'er, why are there so many cloths?"
The little cutie smiled and clapped his hands a few times.
"One piece was torn off the stone table, and the rest were prepared long ago for replacement."
"As a father, can't you just take a piece of it?"
The little cutie pretended to be annoyed and snorted, then spread out her slender arms and lay down on the silk fabric underneath her.
"Hmph, stinky daddy, are you the only one who wants to lie down for a while?
After sitting for most of the day, I am already tired and want to lie down for a while. "
As soon as he finished speaking, the little cutie smiled and waved to Qi Yun, the third princess, the queen and other sisters, as well as Liu Yiyi, Liu Feifei, Liu Yaoyao, Liu Lingyun and other good sisters.
“Hey hey hey, dear mothers, sisters, sisters.
Come on, come on, you guys should lie down and take a rest together. "
Young Master Liu chuckled and shook his head. After holding his arms on the grass and moving to the silk cloth, he groaned lazily.
"Ah, so comfortable."
Qi Yun, Qi Ya, the three princesses and the other sisters looked at each other with a smile, and walked towards the silk cloth on the grass in unison.
Upon seeing this, Liu Feifei, Liu Yunxin, her sisters and others also ran over with their skirts in hand.
Liu Yiyi lightly pursed her red lips, then walked lightly to the little cutie's feet and stopped.
"Yue'er."
"Hey, sister Yiyi, what are you still doing? Lie down together and rest for a while."
As the little cutie spoke, she twisted Liu's waist and moved a few times to Young Master Liu's side, giving up a large space for Liu Yiyi.
"Sister Yiyi, come on, let's sleep together."
Liu Yiyi looked at the position that the little cutie had given to her, and waved with a smile.
"Sister Yue'er, I'll talk to you later. You come with your sister first. She has something to tell you."
"Huh? Have something to say?"
"Yes, I have something to say, come here quickly."
"Okay, here we come."
The little cutie immediately stood up and followed Liu Yiyi.
"Sister Yiyi, where are we going?"
"Come this way."
Finally, Liu Feifei and the little cute sisters stopped beside the flower garden fifty or sixty steps away from Young Master Liu and Qi Yun.
The little cutie turned around and glanced at Young Master Liu, then looked at Liu Yiyi curiously.
"Sister Yiyi, what do you want from me? You actually have to go behind our stinking father's back."
Liu Yiyi turned her body slightly, with her back facing Young Master Liu, and reached out from her arms to take out a small delicate cloth bag embroidered with lotus flowers.
The little cutie looked at the exquisite cloth bag in Liu Yiyi's hand, and her pretty face couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.
"Huh? Sister Yiyi, what is this?"
Liu Yiyi breathed a sigh of relief and handed the cloth bag in front of the little cutie with a smile.
"Sister Yue'er, I'm getting married tomorrow.
Therefore, it is time for me to return the banknotes you have deposited with me over the years, sister.
There are 70,000 taels of silver notes inside. You have sent them to your sister in the past few months. You should put them away first.
Under the wardrobe in your sister's room, there is also the money you used to keep with your sister.
Last night, sister, I took out all the silver notes and counted them. The total was 1.73 million taels of silver notes.
There are too many banknotes, and it is inconvenient for me to carry them with me, sister.
Therefore, my sister has no choice but to return the 70,000 taels of silver notes placed in the bedside drawer to you first.
Sister Yue'er, don't forget to go to your sister's boudoir tonight. Your sister will take out the banknotes for you and you can take them back to your room.
The little cutie took the cloth bag from Liu Yiyi's hand, directly untied the rope on the bag, and took out a wad of banknotes from inside.
"Seventy thousand taels."
"Hmm, it's seventy thousand taels in total. Sister, count it quickly."
The little cutie grabbed the stack of silver notes and patted them in her hands, looked at Liu Yiyi and shook her head with a chuckle.
"Sister Yiyi, needless to say, Yue'er can still believe you or not."
Liu Yiyi smiled sweetly and said softly: "Well, since you believe in sister, there's no need to say anything."
The little cutie stuffed the delicate cloth bag behind the ribbon around her waist, held a stack of thick banknotes in her jade hands and put them under her pretty nose, and took a strong sniff.
"Ah, this is the smell of banknotes, it still smells as good as ever!
Sister Yiyi, do you know? "
"Huh? Do you know anything?"
"Sister Yiyi, after living for so many years, my favorite smell is the smell of banknotes."
As the little cutie spoke, she held the banknote in her hand and took a deep breath again, then smacked her pretty red lips a few times with an intoxicated look on her face.
"Yinzi, Yinzi, it's such a good thing."
Liu Yiyi couldn't help but laugh when she heard the little cutie's sighing words and saw the intoxicated expression on her face.
"Kekeke,kekeke, Yue'er, you, you are such a little money-crazy."
The little cutie pulled off the cloth bag from her waist, and put the banknotes in her hands back into the exquisite cloth bag embroidered with lotus with a smile.
"Hehehe, sister Yiyi, the reason why you say that is because you don't know the benefits of money.
Forget about Yue'er and me, go and ask our stinky dad if he likes money.
In the past few years, the Western Expedition armies on the left and right would send a group of elite soldiers and horses from Dashi, Tianzhu and other countries to the capital every six months to escort a batch of things.
Sister Yiyi, do you know what is in the big box that the soldiers escorted back to the capital?
Is that a stone? Or loess?
There were bricks of gold and silver, as well as all kinds of rare treasures. "
Liu Yiyi smiled and nodded: "Yes, yes, sister, I understand everything.
Good sister, pack up your banknotes quickly. "
The little cutie retied the rope on the delicate cloth bag, sighed softly, reached out and grabbed Liu Yiyi's wrist, and patted the cloth bag directly into Liu Yiyi's hand.
"Hey, good sister."
Liu Yiyi looked stunned, and a trace of doubt flashed in her pretty eyes.
"Sister Yue'er, you...what do you mean?"
"Sister Yiyi, you are getting married tomorrow.
You keep these 70,000 taels of silver notes first. After we have dinner, you go back to your room and count out the 130,000 taels of silver notes from the 1,730,000 taels of silver notes.
Including these 70,000 taels, the total is 200,000 taels of silver.
As the saying goes, good things come in pairs. This two hundred thousand taels of silver notes should be regarded as a gift from your sister and me to your eldest sister.
Hee hee hee, good sister, how about it, am I good enough for you? "
Looking at the cute little girl with a smile on her face, Liu Yiyi looked stunned for a moment. After she came to her senses, she shook her head and hurriedly stuffed the cloth bag back into the little cute girl's hand.
"No, no, sister, I am not short of money, how can I ask for your money.
Moreover, there is still so much money.
Sister Yue'er, please put the banknotes away quickly. "
The little cutie smiled lightly, pulled open the skirt of Liu Yiyi's chest, and stuffed the delicate cloth bag directly into her arms.
Liu Yiyi looked anxious and quickly reached out to touch her arms.
"Yue'er, you!"
The little cutie quickly raised her other slender hand, and used both hands to restrain Liu Yiyi's wrist.
"sister."
"Yue'er, you?"
"Sister, when you come back next time, we will become relatives from sisters.
These banknotes are the wishes of my younger sister, Yue'er, so just keep them. "
