"Yes, of course. Brother Liu, please wait a moment. I will get the bowl right away for my brother's sake."
Looking at Hu Yanyu who turned around to get the wine bowl, Liu Mingzhi sighed silently and looked at the beauty in the painting with a complicated expression.
Things in the world are unpredictable and fate plays tricks on people.
It is true that things in the world are unpredictable and fate plays tricks on people!
Soon, Hu Yanyu returned and placed the two wine bowls on the table.
After he sat on the chair again, he took a puff of the cigarette and pointed at the wine jar on the table to Young Master Liu.
"Brother Liu, if you remove the sealing mud and pour the wine, I will trouble you again."
Young Master Liu raised his eyebrows, chuckled and waved his hand indifferently.
"Hey, Xiaomi, it should be, it should be."
As Liu Mingzhi spoke, he happily removed the sealing mud from the wine jar.
When he took off the stopper, a strong aroma of wine instantly emitted from the wine jar.
After Young Master Liu smelled the aroma of wine in the air, his eyes lit up, and he immediately leaned over to the edge of the wine jar and took a deep breath.
"Brother Huyan, Du Kang?"
"Hahaha, Brother Liu is indeed a good wine person. You are right, this wine is Dukang, and it is an old wine that has been stored in the cellar for more than 20 years."
"I've been in the cellar for more than 20 years of aged wine. Brother, I'm in for a treat today."
While Mr. Liu was joking, he lifted the wine jar in front of him and poured two bowls of wine directly into it.
"Brother Huyan, come on, come on, have a drink."
"Hahaha, do it first to respect your brother."
"Together, together."
After the two brothers touched the wine bowl, they both drank the wine in the bowl in one go.
"Phew, it feels so good, it feels so damn good."
After Hu Yanyu put down the wine bowl, he grabbed his sleeve and wiped the wine from the corner of his mouth.
"Brother Liu, do you need someone to bring me some snacks to go with the wine?"
After hearing this, Liu Mingzhi chuckled, waved his hand, stood up and walked towards the main hall.
Under Hu Yanyu's somewhat puzzled gaze, he walked back leisurely with a plate of peanuts and a plate of melon seeds.
Liu Mingzhi casually placed the plate in his hand on the edge of the desk, cheerfully lifted the wine jar and filled it with two more bowls of wine.
"Brother Huyan, this plate of peanuts and melon seeds are the dishes for us two brothers to go with wine."
After hearing what Mr. Liu said, Hu Yanyu looked at the two plates, smiled and shook his head.
"Hehehe, okay, as long as Brother Liu you don't feel that I am not entertaining you well enough for your brother."
"Hey, between us brothers, let's not talk about this. Come on, come on, have a drink as you like."
"good."
After Hu Yanyu took two sips of wine, he put down the wine bowl and picked up the tobacco bag beside him and took a puff of tobacco silently.
"Later, when I saw Yue Xin and she finally agreed to my plea, I felt both pain and relief.
After we returned to the big tent, Yuexin's eyes were red and she stared at me for a long time with tears in her eyes.
Then, she followed the old man's request and swore a poisonous oath to him through gritted teeth.
As for the content of the poisonous oath we two made, I won’t go into details with you because of my brother.
In short, it is nothing more than what will happen if Yuexin and we break our vows and become husband and wife, and what will happen after we have children.
In the end, for the sake of my brother, I suppressed the anger in my heart. I was in great pain and sent Yue Xin, who was in tears and heartbroken, as well as more than a dozen brothers and sisters with angry expressions on their faces. The brothers and sisters were safe and sound. Left the Huyan tribe. "
Liu Mingzhi's expression was complicated, his brows were furrowed and he blew out a puff of smoke, then picked up a few peanuts with his fingers and threw them into his mouth.
"Even the children you and Miss Pei may have in the future are implicated. Your father did an extraordinary job in order for you to stay and marry Yan Yu."
Hu Yanyu took a deep breath and nodded through gritted teeth.
"Yeah, it's really amazing."
Liu Mingzhi casually fanned the smoke in front of him, picked up the wine bowl and gestured to Hu Yanyu.
"Brother Huyan, feel free to drink one."
Hu Yanyu nodded slightly, put down his tobacco bag and picked up his wine bowl.
"Yes, please."
After Liu Mingzhi put down the wine bowl, he casually crossed his legs and leaned sideways on the chair.
"Brother Huyan, have you and Miss Pei met again since then?"
After hearing Young Master Liu's question, Hu Yanyu picked up a few peanuts and threw them into his mouth, then picked up the tobacco bag placed on the table again.
Immediately, he looked at Young Master Liu and nodded first, then shook his head.
"After I married Yan Yu for my brother, whenever I had nothing to do, I would rush to Dao Ya Hai in Dalong every year and secretly visit her for half a day.
As for showing up to meet her formally and tell her heart to heart, there was never one occasion. "
Liu Mingzhi frowned in silence for a long time, then sighed softly.
"well."
"Then do you think Miss Pei knows that you secretly visited her?"
When Hu Yanyu heard Young Master Liu's question, he became silent with a melancholy expression.
After a long time, he looked at Young Master Liu and shook his head gently.
“Brother Liu, to be honest, as a brother, I don’t know much about this.
Maybe you know, maybe you don't know. "
After hearing Hu Yanyu's answer, Liu Mingzhi pondered thoughtfully, and asked again with a somewhat hesitant look: "Brother Hu Yan, let me ask a rather presumptuous question.
Since what happened between you, Miss Pei has returned to Dao Yahai in Dalong, has she gotten married? "
When Hu Yanyu heard this, he frowned slightly and took a puff of cigarette.
"In the past, when I was still in Dalong as a brother, I would rush to Dao Yahai to visit her every year. At that time, Yue Xin had not yet left the palace to get married.
Later, as a brother, I followed your order and went west with Zhang Shuai and Nangong Shuai to conquer Dashi, and the two countries of Tianzhu became barbarians.
Before the Western Expedition set off, I hurriedly rushed to Daoyahai to visit Yuexin secretly.
At that time, she still had not left the court to get married.
As for now, I don't know if Yue Xin is married.
After three or four years of separation, I no longer have the chance to visit her secretly.
Perhaps, she is already married.
Or maybe, she was still alone. "
Liu Mingzhi looked at Hu Yanyu's lonely expression, picked up his wine bowl, and drank most of the bowl of wine in one go.
Then, he put down the wine bowl forcefully and sighed helplessly.
"well!"
"Brother Huyan, brother Huyan, why didn't you tell me earlier about this past incident between you and Miss Pei?
If you had told me about this earlier, brother, I would have sent people to the East China Sea in advance before I took Yun'er, Yan'er, Yao'er, Rongrong, the sisters, and the stinky girl Yue'er to the Western Regions to visit relatives. Dao Yahai, let me help you find out how Miss Pei is doing now.
In this way, when we arrive at the royal city of Dashi Kingdom, you will be able to know Miss Pei's current situation from my brother's mouth.
You, you, brother, let me tell you what you want!
Regarding such an important matter as your life-long event, why have you never mentioned it to my brother, Yaoer and me?
Brother, if I had known about these things between you and Miss Pei, I would have been able to help you two. "
Listening to Young Master Liu's helpless tone, Hu Yanyu directly picked up his wine bowl and drank the remaining wine in one gulp like Young Master Liu.
Immediately, he put down the wine bowl and looked at Young Master Liu with a painful expression, his eyes filled with melancholy.
"Brother Liu, I don't want to tell you and Yao'er these things not because of brother.
The key is, after I tell you these things, brother, what can I do?
Back then, because of my brother's persecution from that old man, Yue Xin and I had already sworn a poisonous oath.
Under such circumstances, what can I tell you and Yao'er about the past between Yue Xin and I, apart from adding to the sadness? "
Seeing what Hu Yanyu said, Young Master Liu, who had just poured two bowls of wine, changed his expression on the spot. After putting down the wine jar, he raised his hand and slapped it hard on the table.
There was a muffled snap.
Everything on the desk shook.
Hu Yanyu, who was smoking a dry cigarette, was also frightened by Master Liu's sudden slap.
"Brother Liu, what are you doing?"
Liu Mingzhi took a deep breath and looked at Hu Yanyu helplessly.
"Brother Huyan, you are confused!"
Hearing what Young Master Liu said, Hu Yanyu's face was stunned for a moment.
"What? Why are you confused? Brother Liu, where do you start talking about this?"
Seeing the confused expression on Hu Yanyu's face, Liu Mingzhi directly picked up the wine bowl in front of him, nodded and took two large sips of the drink.
Then, he put down the wine bowl, picked up a few peanuts and put them into his mouth to eat.
"Brother Huyan, how do you know that there is nothing you can't change after you told me what happened between you and Miss Pei?"
When Hu Yanyu heard this, he immediately looked at Young Master Liu in shock.
"Ah? This...this..."
Liu Mingzhi looked at the shocked expression on Hu Yanyu's face, took a puff of dry smoke, gently shook the Wanli Jiangshan jade fan in his hand, got up and walked towards the window a few steps away.
Seeing this situation, Hu Yanyu frowned involuntarily.
"Brother Liu, you?"
Liu Mingzhi slowly stopped in front of the window and looked up at the stars in the night sky outside the window.
"Brother Huyan, I, Liu Mingzhi, am the current emperor and the king of a country.
Inheriting the destiny of heaven and obeying the people below.
The luck of the world rests with me.
The mere poisonous oath between you and Miss Pei is not a big problem for me, this young master.
I remember back then, I politely offered a marriage to you and Yan Yu.
I, Liu Mingzhi, can also grant marriage to you and Miss Pei.
I don't believe that my imperial destiny, Liu Mingzhi, will be any weaker than the poisonous oath you and Miss Pei swore together.
According to our Dalong, I, Liu Mingzhi, am the destiny of the Ziwei Emperor Star.
The order of Ziwei Emperor Star grants marriage, and the order of the emperor adds to the body.
If you Hu Yanyu, you cannot marry Miss Pei.
The poisonous oath you and Miss Pei made together is that they are destined to be together in this life.
However, I, Liu Mingzhi, do not believe in this evil.
I said you and Miss Pei are a perfect match and should get married.
Then you two can get married.
Destiny, the emperor's destiny.
Between the two, who is stronger and which is weaker, who can say accurately?
If you don't try it, who can know? "
Liu Mingzhi stared at the stars in the sky with a calm expression, and said words in a calm tone that were filled with contempt for the world and made Hu Yanyu stunned.
After Hu Yanyu heard these domineering words from Young Master Liu, his body shook violently.
He looked at Liu Mingzhi blankly, his lips quivering and he fell silent.
After a long time.
Hu Yanyu came back to his senses, and his body went limp for an instant.
"Brother Liu, I...I..."
He stared at Mr. Liu's back and stammered for a long time, but in the end he didn't say anything.
Liu Mingzhi retracted his gaze from staring at the stars in the night sky, gently shook the folding fan in his hand and turned to look at Hu Yanyu.
"Brother Huyan, how old is Miss Pei?"
Upon hearing Young Master Liu's inquiry, Hu Yanyu immediately took a deep breath.
"Yue Xin is eight years younger than me. Brother, I am 46 years old this year, and Yue Xin is 30 years old this year."
"Thirty-eight?"
"Yeah, exactly."
Liu Mingzhi frowned slightly, slowly returned to the desk and sat down on the chair again.
“Brother Huyan, this year has been Dalong Shengping’s seventh year.
In other words, seven years have passed since the year when my brother and I raised an army to rebel and proclaimed ourselves emperor.
Based on the ages of you and Miss Pei, brother, the year I sat on that chair changed my name to Taiping.
You and Miss Pei, one is thirty and nine years old, and the other is thirty and one.
Thirty-nine, thirty-one.
To say he is young at this age is indeed not too young.
But in terms of bigness, it's not particularly big.
In our Dalong area, there has always been a saying that the old clam carries pearls and is blessed by God.
The old clam pregnant with pearls mostly refers to those women who are around forty years old and still pregnant.
Brother Huyan, women around forty years old can still get pregnant.
What's more, Miss Pei was only thirty-one years old at that time.
Brother, Shu'er and I, uh...not Yun Shu, but He Shu.
It is no longer a secret about my relationship with sisters Jie'er and He Shu.
Brother Huyan, just know it in your heart. Brother, I won’t say anything more. "
Hu Yanyu nodded silently when he heard Young Master Liu talking about the problem of sisters Chen Jie and He Shu.
"Brother understands, brother understands."
Liu Mingzhi smiled lightly and nodded. He picked up the wine bowl and took a sip of wine to moisten his dry throat.
"When Shu'er was pregnant with Haoran, my youngest son, she was several years older than Miss Pei seven years ago.
At that time, when Shu'er gave birth to the brat Haoran, although she suffered a little, there were no major problems.
At that age, Shu'er was able to give birth to a son for my brother and me.
What's more, it's Miss Pei who is a few years younger than her?
Brother Huyan, let me tell you this.
If you had told your brothers Yao'er, Yun'er, and Yan'er a few years ago, you would have told them politely about what happened between you and Miss Pei.
Brother, after I learned about the situation between the two of you, I must have sent a decree to marry you and Miss Pei.
In this case.
The child between you and Miss Pei, whether son or daughter, should be four or five years old now. "
