After Yuan Wu died, Xiao Liuzi was adopted by Master Liu and adopted as his adopted son. This is why he also called Liu Qiaomei his aunt and Master Liu his godfather.
I knew that Liu Qiaomei had been in Tongcheng, but I didn't know that even Liu Baye would be coming back tomorrow. I wonder if he came back suddenly because he learned about the kidnapping of Liu Tingting and Ximei. Are you planning to ask me to accuse you?
Everything happened because of me. If Mr. Liu really wants to call for punishment, I won't have any complaints.
After sending Xiao Liuzi away, I closed the store door. When I returned to the room, I saw the backpack on my bed. Apparently, Fatty Wu had brought it back to me with his own hands.
After taking a shower and getting rid of all the fatigue, I went to bed early, waiting for my mother's bloody blows the next day.
Because I went to bed early, I went to bed early the next morning, just after dawn. After a simple wash, I went out. I thought about locking the door directly, but I never wanted to catch up with Xiao Liuzi and leave early. coming.
Xiao Liuzi told me that Mr. Liu Ba had been back before dawn. The reason why he came so early was to ask me to go there early.
The antique shop was handed over to Xiaoliuzi, I hailed a taxi and went to the villa.
As soon as I opened the door of the villa, I felt that the atmosphere inside was not right. It felt very depressing, which made me even more nervous and I didn't dare to breathe.
"Godfather." I said.
Liu Baye sat on the sofa and took a sip of the fragrant tea and then looked up at me. His eyes were cold and deep, as if he could see directly into my heart.
Seeing that look, I couldn't help but tremble all over, thinking that this time I really couldn't avoid being scolded severely.
But what I didn't expect was that when Mr. Liu looked up at me, a trace of unconcealable joy suddenly appeared on his face.
"Come on, Dongzi, sit down, godfather has some good news for you!"
"Good...good news?"
I didn't dare to sit down, I just stood there looking at Mr. Liu in confusion, still thinking about the scene of him breaking me.
Perhaps he saw what I was thinking, Liu Baye smiled and waved to me and said: "Dongzi, I have heard about Tingting and the others, and Qiao Mei has also told me about you. So this matter is not your fault, and Tingting and the others came back unscathed, so you don’t have to worry about it anymore, sit down quickly and listen to me announce the great news!"
There are many people today, including me and Liu Baye, as well as Liu Tingting, Ximei and Kestrel. Even Liu Qiaomei and her boyfriend Ruan Shengwen are also there, plus Liu Qiaomei’s nominal apprentice, Gouzi.
As soon as they heard that there was good news to be announced, everyone's eyes were focused on Liu Baye, waiting intently for him to announce the so-called good news.
Liu Baye cleared his throat and said loudly: "Dongzi, Tingting, you are going to be brothers and sisters!"
"We are just brothers and sisters. Godfather, what are you talking about? Why can't I understand?" Liu Tingting said with a puzzled look on her face.
Not only Liu Tingting, but also several other of us looked confused and couldn't understand what Liu Baye was talking about.
Seeing that we all looked confused, Liu Baye smiled and looked at the loving Liu Qiaomei and Ruan Shengwen who were sitting aside, "Qiaomei, Shengwen, I think you should tell everyone yourself. "
Liu Qiaomei, who had always been stern and unsmiling, seemed a little shy at this time. She swallowed back her words as soon as they came to her lips. Finally, after holding it in for a long time, she elbowed Ruan Shengwen beside her and said, "I'm so embarrassed, it's you again." Tell me."
Ruan Shengwen nodded with a smile and said happily: "That's right. In fact, the great thing that Master Ba said is that my sister is pregnant!"
Go ahead, I really suspected that there was something wrong with my ears. When I heard the word Youxi, my head buzzed, and it felt like someone had slapped me with a sap.
All eyes looked at Liu Qiaomei's belly almost at the same time, making Liu Qiaomei lower her head in embarrassment.
Looking at Ruan Shengwen, I secretly admired him. I didn't expect that he was so serious about business. How long did it take for him to successfully plant the seed in Liu Qiaomei's belly?
Liu Qiaomei is not young anymore, which is indeed great news, but she has become pregnant before she gets married, which is both pleasant and unpleasant.
Maybe it was what I thought, everyone was looking at Liu Qiaomei with very shocked eyes. Of course, they definitely couldn't show it so obviously. On the surface, they were still celebrating.
This is why Mr. Liu called me to the villa, in order to tell all the family members the good news as soon as possible and make the whole family happy together.
The main purpose of Liu Baye's return this time is to discuss marriage matters as the parent of one party, because they already have children, and if they don't get married, it will really be unreasonable.
According to the wedding etiquette, the elders of Ruan Shengwen's family were supposed to come to propose marriage. However, Ruan Shengwen said that his parents were old and would not be able to travel easily, so Liu Baye planned to come to the door in person to discuss the marriage with the two elders. This is what happened. The real purpose of Liu Baye's return.
Ruan Shengwen left first, saying that he was going back and wanted to inform his parents and prepare to welcome his in-laws, so Ruan Shengwen rushed to his hometown, Anyang, Henan, alone that morning.
Master Liu also planned to leave two days later. On the one hand, he wanted to prepare gifts for Ruan Shengwen's parents. Because Master Liu only had a younger sister, Liu Qiaomei, and he was not short of money, so he couldn't lose etiquette. .
Liu Qiaomei is getting married, and everyone in the Liu family villa is very happy, but there is one person who is in a low mood, and that is Gouzi.
When Gouzi heard that Liu Qiaomei was pregnant with Ruan Shengwen's child, he was petrified on the spot. His sad expression was more like that of his own mother who had died. I couldn't bear to add fuel to the fire any more.
Women talked about women's affairs, and several women returned to the room mysteriously. They closed the door and didn't know what they were talking about inside. From time to time, laughter would come from them.
The women had all left, and only Mr. Liu, Gouzi and I were left in the hall on the first floor of the villa.
Gouzi's face was so sad and indifferent, so Liu Baye didn't pay much attention to it. Seeing that there were no outsiders, Liu Baye opened his mouth and revealed his other purpose.
Liu Baye said that Ruan Shengwen's hometown is in Anyang, Henan, and Anyang is only more than 200 kilometers away from Xuchang. The reason why Liu Baye broke the management this time and let the woman's parents take the initiative to come to discuss marriage is because he actually planned to go to Xuchang. One trip.
As for why we want to go to Xuchang, Liu Baye said that there is a river in Xuchang called Qinglu River, also called Gushui.
It is said that the water of the river was transformed from the Qiu in the ancient Nine Dragons. It is said that when Liu Bowen killed the dragon and reached the Gushui River, he saw the Qiu without claws and legs sitting on a huge bronze tripod. It looked like a juvenile dragon. So Liu Bowen spared its life, and Qiu was grateful and turned into a river stone to help. After Liu Bowen cut off all the dragon veins in the world, he threw the river stone back to Gishui. Therefore, the purpose of Liu Baye's trip was to find the Qiuzhou dragon soul. soul.
When I heard that there was another clue about the dragon soul, I was naturally very excited, so I asked Mr. Liu Ba if he could take me with him on this trip to Henan.
Liu Baye smiled and patted my shoulder and said, "Since I told you, I naturally have to take you with me, because you are the only person I can trust."
Mr. Liu Ba said this, and I was almost jumping for joy, thinking that I could finally make up for my sin of losing the white jade Yinglong sculpture.
The departure time is scheduled for two days later, but we will first go to Anyang, Ruan Shengwen's hometown, wait for the marriage matters to be finalized, and then change the route to Xuchang.
Not only me, Gouzi also followed, so that Liu Tingting and the others had to follow, but it was only limited to the engagement, because the more relatives the two parties had during the engagement, the better. As for going to Xuchang, Liu Baye Of course, the fewer people there, the better.
