Qi Ya heard Liu Song's words and turned to look at Qi Liang. The smile on her pretty face is even better.
"Little brother, this is what your elder brother means. You won't even listen to your elder brother's words, right?"
Qi Liang's expression tightened as he watched Qi Ya shake her head hurriedly.
“Don’t dare, I don’t dare, little brother.
Since the brother-in-law said so, the younger brother had no choice but to be disrespectful. "
Qi Ya smiled lightly and waved her hand with smiling eyes.
"In that case, let's go into the house."
Qi Liang nodded and immediately turned sideways to signal to Qi Ya, Qi Yun, Qing Lian, the three princesses and the others.
"Eldest sister, second sister, all sisters, please go first."
Qi Yun rolled her eyes angrily, raised her hand and took Qi Liang's wrist and walked directly into the door of the mansion.
As he walked, his red lips pretended to be annoyed and said: "You brat, if you are so polite in front of your own house, let's go together."
Qi Ya, the third princess, and the Murong Shan sisters looked at Qi Liang's ladies with smiles.
"Brothers and sisters, let's go too."
"Hey, little sister, thank you all so much."
Little Cutie, Liu Chengzhi, Liu Chengqian, and Liu Lingyun brothers and sisters walked happily towards Qi Liang's children.
The little cutie pinched Qi Hongxiu's pretty pink face with her fingers, and said with a slight smile: "Qingyang, Luo Ge, Hongxiu... It's only been a year or two since we last met, and each of you has grown so tall. "
As the little cutie spoke, she smiled and raised her hand to make gestures on the little girl's head with two buns.
"Especially Hongxiu. The last time I saw you, cousin, you were just a little taller. Now you are as tall as my sister, my waist."
"Hehehe, cousin Yue'er."
Liu Feifei reminded her with a smile: "Sister Yue'er, it's getting late. Let's go home first. We can talk about old times when we get home."
The little cutie nodded happily and said softly: "Yes, yes, go home first, go home first."
"Cousins, let's go and sit at home first."
"Thank you very much, cousins. Thank you very much, cousins."
At the front of the group, Qi Yun turned her head and looked in the direction of her husband's study, then smiled and looked at her younger brother Qi Liang who was following him.
"Little brother."
"My little brother is here, second sister, what's wrong?"
"After you return from your eldest brother's study, if you have nothing to do, go and sit with your father and mother.
During the three years that you served as the governor of the two provinces in the North, the two elders have been worried about your family.
Although we have met in the palace in the morning, because today is the wedding day of Yiyi, our family does not have the opportunity to reminisce about the past.
Now that the busy things are done, it's time for our family to get together and talk about the past. "
Qi Liang nodded sadly after hearing the second sister's explanation.
"Second sister, even if you don't tell me, I plan to go back to my father and mother immediately after returning from my brother-in-law's study."
Qi Yun smiled sweetly, raised her head and patted Qi Liang's shoulder.
"You brat, since you know what's going on, sister, I won't say anything else."
"Hehehe, I understand, I understand."
Qi Yun gently pursed her red lips a few times and looked back at Qi Ya behind her.
"elder sister."
"Hey, sister?"
"Sister, my sister will take someone here to arrange a rest room for my little brother and his brothers and sisters.
You first lead a few younger siblings, as well as Qingyang and his brothers and sisters, to sit in the courtyard where our father and mother live.
As soon as I take the people here to arrange the wing room, I will meet you at your parents' residence immediately. "
"Okay, sister, I understand. We'll see you later."
"Yeah, see you later."
"Qi Liang."
"My little brother is here."
"Hurry to your eldest brother's study. Don't keep him waiting too long."
"Yes, then, little brother, I will take the first step here."
Qi Yun waved her hands with a smile, and said with a slight smile: "Hehehe, go quickly."
Seeing this, Liu Song immediately gestured sideways to Qi Liang.
"Master Qi Liang, please come this way."
"Okay, okay, thank you, Brother Liusong, to lead the way."
"Hahaha, you're welcome, you're welcome."
Qi Yun looked at Liu Song, Qi Liang and Qi Liang walked away talking and laughing to each other, paused slightly on their lotus feet, and looked at the good sisters with a sweet smile.
"Sisters, if your husband wants to admire the moon at night, he will definitely send someone to inform us sisters.
Now, let's go back to our rooms and take a rest. "
"Hey, Sister Yun, the little girl goes back to take a bath first."
"Sister Yun, little sister, I'm sweating all over, so I'm going back first."
"Sister, you should go and get busy."
Huang Lingyi smiled and hugged Xue Bizhu's arm.
"Sister Bizhu, we haven't bathed together for a long time. Today, I will go to your room to bathe."
"You stinky girl, can't you take a bath by yourself?"
"Oh, I want to take a bath with you."
"There's really nothing I can do about you."
While the beauties were chatting and laughing, they rushed towards the courtyards where they lived.
Inner courtyard study.
Liu Song came to the outside of Young Master Liu's study happily, looked at the wide open door, raised his hand and knocked lightly on the door a few times.
"Master, Master Qi Liang is here."
"Come in together."
"yes."
"Master Qi Liang, please."
"Please, please."
After Qi Liang and Liu Song entered the study together, they immediately saw Young Master Liu holding a volume of books in his right hand and pacing back and forth in front of the bookshelf.
"Please see the young master."
"Brother-in-law, I'm so polite."
After Young Master Liu turned the page in the book in his hand, he turned around and looked at Liu Song, Qi Liang and the others, smiling lightly and waving.
"Everyone is free of charge."
"Thank you, Master."
"Thank you, brother-in-law."
"Qi Liang."
"My little brother is here."
"You should do the same as before, just call me brother. I don't feel comfortable calling you brother-in-law."
Qi Liang looked slightly stunned, and after realizing it, he nodded with a wry smile.
"Okay, brother."
Young Master Liu walked to the desk and sat on the chair with a smile.
Then, he pointed to the chair next to Qi Liang.
"Stop standing, sit down quickly."
"Thank you, brother."
"Liu Song, pour some tea."
"Yes, I will obey, little one."
Young Master Liu turned the books in his hands upside down on the desk and looked at Qi Liang, who was sitting opposite him, looking up and down.
Soon.
Liu Dashan saw Qi Liang's somewhat fat body and shook his head happily.
"You kid, you've gained a lot of weight over the years.
It seems that you were quite corrupt when you served as the governor of the two provinces in the North. "
Qi Liang looked embarrassed and stood up suddenly.
“Big brother, it’s unfair, little brother, it’s unfair.
My little brother, with my status, even if you lend me ten courages, I will not dare to take bribes.
I can assure you that in the past few years when I served as the governor of the two provinces in the North, except for the salary from the court, I have not embezzled even a tael of silver. "
"Oh, really?"
"Of course it's true. If I, the younger brother, dare to commit corruption and accept bribes, the eldest sister and the second sister will definitely be the first one who cannot forgive me."
"Well, as a brother, I really don't refute what you said.
If you dare to do anything that violates Dalong's laws, Yun'er and Sister Ya will really not be able to spare you. "
"Brother, just understand."
"Master, Master Qi Liang, please have tea."
Young Master Liu took the tea cup and waved to Qi Liang with a smile.
"Hahaha, sit down, brother, I'm just making a joke for you.
Drink tea, drink tea. "
Qi Liang sat on the chair again, took a sip from the tea cup handed by Liu Song, and looked at Young Master Liu with a depressed expression.
"Brother, you can't make a joke like this, it's too scary."
Liu Mingzhi took a sip of tea, lit a pot of tobacco skillfully, and pointed at the tobacco bag on Qi Liangbie's waist.
"Have you learned it too?"
Qi Liang took the opportunity to look at the tobacco pouch on his waist and nodded sadly.
"Whenever I am busy with official duties and tired both physically and mentally, I will occasionally take a cigarette."
Liu Mingzhi nodded with a faint smile, pulled off the cigarette bag from the cigarette rod and threw it in front of Qi Liang.
"Have some."
Qi Liang nodded happily and took out the tobacco pouch from his waist.
"Then you're welcome, little brother."
"Liu Song, if you want some, come on."
"Hey, thank you young master."
Seeing Qi Liang's very skillful movements, Mr. Liu turned his head and blew out a puff of smoke.
"This thing is not a good thing. If you can smoke it less, smoke it less."
Qi Liang took a puff of the cigarette and sighed with a complicated expression.
"Brother, you are not the only one who says this, my ladies also often persuade me like this.
I also understand that this stuff is not good for my health.
However, once the body is particularly tired, it will always come up a little bit habitually. "
"Hehehe, not only you, but also me as a brother!
In short, smoke less if you can. "
"Hey, I understand, little brother."
"Liu Song, stop standing, sit aside."
"Yes, thank you young master."
Liu Mingzhi picked up the tea cup and took a sip of herbal tea, then gently chewed the tea leaves between his teeth.
"Qi Liang, you should have rushed to the Northland to serve as the governor of the two provinces on February 25, the fourth year of Dalong's reign."
"Brother, it's true. It was on this day that I went to the north to take office."
"Four years of Taiping, seven years of Taiping, and in the blink of an eye, three years have passed.
Time flies by really fast. "
"Yes, three years have passed in the blink of an eye. It really flies by."
Liu Mingzhi put down the tea cup in his hand, stood up and walked to the map hanging next to the sand table and stopped.
“In the past three years, you have performed very well as governor of Daizhou and Songzhou.
The Merit Examination Department of the Ministry of Civil Affairs has nothing but praise for your achievements in the past three years. "
Qi Liang immediately put down the tea cup in his hand, stood up and walked towards Young Master Liu.
"Brother, as the saying goes, you can eat your wealth and share your worries. These are all my duties."
Liu Mingzhi nodded slightly, took a puff of dry cigarette, picked up a small flag and planted it on the sand table.
"Your political achievements are so outstanding, I am very happy for you.
According to the imperial court's regulations, it's time for me to transfer you from the north to the central court and entrust you with important tasks.
It’s just...hehehe...hehehehe..."
Qi Liang heard Mr. Liu's meaningful laughter and rolled his eyes thoughtfully.
"Brother?"
After Liu Mingzhi placed several small flags on the sand table one after another, he glanced at Qi Liang with a faint smile.
"Brother, according to the imperial court's regulations, after you, a second-rank official, are transferred to the imperial court, you will have to take on at least an important task from a second-rank official or a third-rank official.
It's a pity that in today's court, no matter whether it is the official position of a second-rank official or a third-rank official, there is no vacancy.
Brother, if I transfer you from the north to the imperial court, I really won't be able to find an official position to fill your vacancy.
There are two official positions, from the official position of a third-rank official to a fourth-rank official.
However, it is a bit unfair for you, a high-ranking feudal official of the second rank, to return to the court to hold the position of the third rank, or the fourth rank.
Yu Si, you are the younger brother of Sister Ya and Yun'er. You are one of the uncles of the current dynasty, and you are my brother-in-law.
Yu Gong, you are the high-ranking official of the current dynasty, and the governor-general in charge of all military and political affairs of Daizhou and Songzhou.
Under such a complicated situation, both in public and private matters, and as a brother, I am embarrassed to have wronged you. "
Listening to Young Master Liu's words that seemed to be full of helplessness, but in fact were full of profound meaning and seemed to have some meaning, Qi Liang frowned slightly and began to think secretly.
Qi Liang had a vague hunch that his brother-in-law must have a purpose for telling him these words.
As for the purpose, for a while, I couldn't guess.
However, no matter what the purpose of his brother-in-law's words was, all he had to do was follow his words.
As long as you follow his words, you are guaranteed not to make any mistakes.
After Qi Liang made up his mind, he smiled and bowed.
"Brother, as you just said, I am the younger brother of the eldest sister and the second sister, and I am your brother-in-law.
I think, no matter what, it is impossible for you, brother-in-law, to harm your brother-in-law.
If you, brother-in-law, really do this, even though I won't say anything, I guess the eldest sister and the second sister will complain about you. "
Qi Liang made a joke at the right time as he spoke.
Young Master Liu raised his eyebrows slightly and nodded with a smile.
"so?"
"Hahaha, as long as the eldest brother is happy, it doesn't matter where the younger brother goes to work.
No matter where you ask me to be transferred, I will never feel any grievances, let alone any complaints. "
After hearing Qi Liang's answer, Young Master Liu blew out a puff of smoke, laughed and patted Qi Liang's shoulder.
"Hahaha, hahaha, good brother, with your words, I can rest assured as a brother."
"Brother."
"My little brother is here."
Liu Mingzhi leaned over and knocked out the ashes from the smoke pot on the soles of his feet, then turned around and waved to Liu Song.
"Liu Song, bring me my young master's tea."
"yes."
Liu Song quickly stood up, picked up the tea on the desk and trotted over to Young Master Liu.
"Master, please."
Young Master Liu glanced at Qi Liang with a smile, took the tea and took a sip, then picked up a handful of small flags and placed them on the sand table.
"Brother, given the current situation in the court, it would be inappropriate for me to transfer you to the court and entrust you with important responsibilities as a brother.
But, you are my brother-in-law.
For the sake of your sister Ya and your sister Yun'er, as a brother, I can't wrong you too much.
Therefore, I thought and thought about it, and after some careful consideration, I finally came up with a more appropriate solution. "
"Brother, I would like to hear the details."
Liu Mingzhi sipped the tea leaves at the corner of his mouth, picked up a small black chess piece and inserted it on the sand table.
"Qi Liang, given the current situation, it is unlikely that you will be transferred back to the DPRK and entrusted with important responsibilities.
Then, in addition to serving as the governor of Daizhou and Songzhou, you can also take on the position of governor of Pingzhou Prefecture next to the two prefectures.
When you served as the Commander-in-Chief of Pingzhou Prefecture, you also controlled all important military and political affairs within the five prefectures of Pingzhou Prefecture. "
Qi Liang looked stunned, with a look of astonishment in his eyes.
This is the Governor of the Three Prefectures...the Three Prefectures?
