Liu Haojia can understand the feelings of these people. When he hung out with the mercenaries, there was a deep comradeship between them! Although they all come together for profit, they know more clearly that only teammates who believe in you can survive longer on the battlefield, so their relationship is far closer than others!
But it was Liu's father who woke up first. He took Liu Guangting's hand and said, "Guangting, why don't you introduce him to me?"
Liu Guangting wiped his face and said: "Sir, my mother-in-law is named Sun, and she is a boatman! The younger one is my son, and he has a son named Liu Dahe!"
After saying that, he turned to the woman and said: "This is the master of the master's family, why don't you hurry up and show your respects!"
The woman hurriedly knelt down to bless him and asked her son to kowtow to Father Liu. Father Liu didn't wait for the child to kneel down, stretched out his hands to pick him up and said, "You and I, brothers, don't care about this!"
After saying that, he called brother Liu Haojia over to see the gift. After both parties had met, Liu's father looked at the clothes of Liu Guangting's family of three and said, "I, the head of the family, am sorry for you. I couldn't let you live a good life! But now it's good Well, there is hope for our Gu Ningbo Mansion to be revitalized, so we must compensate you well!"
Liu Haojia took a step forward and said, "Father, Uncle Guangyuan and the others have had a hard time coming all the way. Why don't we settle down first, wash up, and have a good meal! Now we have plenty of time to chat slowly!"
Liu's father slapped his forehead and said, "Yes, let's go and arrange the room to wash up first! Guangyuan, go and get a table, and I'll take care of Guangting today!"
Liu Haojia laughed secretly in his heart after hearing what Liu's father said! In the past few days, Liu's father has been ordering tables from the restaurant with extraordinary frequency, which is quite satisfying! But now the money for food and drinks is no longer a burden to the Liu family!
After more than half an hour, everyone finished washing up and the food and drinks from the restaurant were delivered. Although it wasn't time for dinner yet, the entire Liu family still gathered in the main hall to start the reception banquet for Liu Guangting!
Others were fine, but Liu Guangting's mother-in-law was very uncomfortable with this situation! He never thought that one day he would sit at the same table with a nobleman, so he was very reserved. But his son was very happy! Because he is the smallest person here, everyone takes care of him. The plate in front of him is filled with a pile of meat, and he eats it happily!
Father Liu and the three of them had already picked up their glasses and had a few rounds of wine. Then, while drinking, they talked about their respective experiences over the years. The atmosphere was very lively! But Liu Haojia knew that this situation might not last long!
Now that the Liu family is small, and these people have good relationships, they can naturally eat at the same table. When the Liu family goes further as time goes by, a lot of people will definitely be added, and then the differences in class will appear! Then they won't have the chance to get together like this! If they don't do this, they will definitely be ridiculed or even ostracized by the noble class, so let them enjoy the happiness they have now!
Liu Haojia listened to their conversation while eating. Through listening, I learned that Liu Guangting left the second year after Liu’s father inherited the title! Because at that time, Gu Ningbo's mansion had already fallen into disgrace! And it is not that simple for Liu's father to inherit the title! It would cost a lot of money to open the joints, and Gu Ningbo's mansion would be completely empty in no time!
Liu's father persisted for more than a year after inheriting the title, but he could not find any financial resources and had to issue an order to dismiss everyone. Liu Guangting left at that time. He was not married at that time, so he was alone and did not know where to go, so he could only work odd jobs here and there.
Later, he followed a caravan to Tianjin and happened to meet someone recruiting ship workers, so he applied for the job and was selected! The main reason why he was chosen was because he practiced martial arts diligently and was strong, and he had acquired a touch of nobility for many years in Gu Ningbo's mansion. He was different from ordinary mud-legged people!
The person in charge of recruiting workers was a small leader in the boat gang. When he saw Liu Guangting's good looks, he recruited him! This man also has a small idea, that is, he only has one daughter at his knees, and he wants to recruit Liu Guangting as his son-in-law! But a son-in-law is looked down upon by others, so how could Liu Guangting agree? But later, although he did not become a son-in-law, he still married the daughter of the little boss! The two even gave birth to a son! Then he quietly worked as a boatman in Tianjin until Liu Guangyuan found him!
Liu Haojia was also very emotional after hearing his story, but this did not delay him from observing Liu Guangting! He found that this man was just like his father said, he talked less! Judging from his appearance, if he didn't want to explain his past clearly, he almost didn't want to say anything more!
Even so, he always chooses simpler language when speaking. Many things were passed over lightly, and only when Father Liu and the others asked for more details would they go into detail! Moreover, this man did not have the masculinity common in the Ming Dynasty. He took great care of his wife. Overall, he is a stable and reliable person!
The arrival of Liu Guangting's family added a lot of excitement to the deserted Gu Ningbo's mansion! Especially after his three-year-old son spent two days being afraid of strangers, he started running around in the house and made a lot of jokes! At the same time, Liu Guangting and his wife started to help make sugar. When they had time, they worked hard with Liu's father and others, and competed in martial arts. They lived a very comfortable life! Everything in Gu Ningbo's Mansion is developing in a good direction!
Soon, the Spring Festival is here! On this day, the sound of firecrackers in the capital never stopped! The Liu family was no exception. They set off a lot of firecrackers and got a lucky break! Mother Liu and the other three women arranged a large table of food for everyone to have a good drink!
As for moving around between relatives, it’s even easier! Zhang Shunping was the only person who came to Gu Ningbo's house, so the house quickly became quiet.
On the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, Liu Haojia favored Liu Guangyuan and Liu Guangting by virtue of Liu's father's reputation, and the four of them sat in the study together to discuss things.
After this period of life, Liu Guangting already knew Liu Haojia's status in the mansion. So he had no objection to Liu Haojia initiating this meeting. So he just sat on the chair and waited for instructions.
When Liu Haojia saw everyone gathered, he said: "Father, two uncles, we have important things to discuss with you this time. The main thing is to travel far away! I'm afraid one of you is going to Shandong and the other is going to Jiangsu and Zhejiang!"
Liu Guangting remained silent, but Liu Guangyuan said directly: "Just tell the second young master what he wants to do!"
