Liu Desheng looked forward to the surprises Liu Quansheng could bring him.
Therefore, when Liu Quansheng pulled Liu Yi into the building, Liu Desheng immediately stepped forward, held Liu Quansheng's hands tightly, looked around, and asked for help, like a simple and honest elder brother, "Oh my good third brother, why are you so late? ? You made me wait so hard for my brother! Look, look, oh! We haven’t seen each other for many years, I’ve lost weight! I’ve lost weight! Look at your stubborn temper, insisting on arguing with our father about right and wrong, as a family How can there be any reason to have an overnight feud? Meet dad with me later, admit your mistake, and come back. Oh, this is your good nephew, right? You are young and promising, you are young and you are promising!"
Brothers from the same father, living a few steps away from each other in the south and north of the city, have not seen each other for ten years, which makes people sigh. Now when they meet, the brothers who have their own concerns show how close they are to each other, which makes people feel sick at the same time.
Liu Quansheng's face was expressionless, but Liu Yi looked a little embarrassed.
Since Liu Yi was born, this is the first time in the eleven years since he recognized his ancestors. What is sad is that Lingyuan North City and Nancheng are only one step away, but he has never seen these direct relatives, which makes people dumbfounded. At the same time, people have to sigh that the wealthy family is as deep as the sea.
Liu Quansheng was lukewarm. After entering the room, he lay down on his side. He did not respond to Liu Desheng's enthusiasm and said calmly, "Brother, is there any wine here?"
Liu Desheng didn't care about his hot face and cold butt. In Liu Desheng's eyes, his younger brother had always been unkind and unjust, otherwise he wouldn't have behaved so rebelliously back then.
At this moment, Liu Quansheng was neither cold nor hot, which was in line with Liu Desheng's judgment of Liu Quansheng.
If the two brothers had just met and Liu Quansheng was so enthusiastic, then it would be worthy of Liu Desheng's suspicion.
After thinking about it, Liu Desheng quickly called to the servant, "Quick! Quick! Bring the wine, and I want the best Dukang."
After the servants dispersed, there were only four Liu brothers, Yang Guan and Liu Yi left in the room.
After a while, the food and wine were served, and the Liu brothers drank happily. Liu Yi and Yang Guan watched from the sidelines. After a while, the two brothers became drunk.
After being drunk, Liu Quansheng stood up slowly, hugged Liu Desheng's arms, his eyes were blurred, and his words were filled with sadness, and he said intermittently, "Brother, my second brother is unscrupulous and committed such evil things as massacre of the village." , the third brother is heartbroken, and the hatred in his heart cannot be expressed in words. Big brother, I have decided not to be involved in the Liu family affairs in this life, and to devote myself to learning, but if I allow my second brother to do this, our Liu family will be completely destroyed! "
"Third brother, my good third brother, your second brother is crazy now. For the sake of his position as the head of the family, he kills people and kills Buddhas. There is nothing I can do about it! Third brother, you are so talented, what can you do? I have support from within and strong support from outside. You are a scholar, and I am an honest and responsible person. You and I, after all, are no match for him!" Liu Desheng was filled with emotion and pretended to shed a few tears.
"Brother, if you can trust your third brother, we can make a difference today with you and me!" Liu Quansheng held Liu Quansheng's arms tightly, the smell of alcohol emanating from his body, and the whole room suddenly felt turbid.
Before Liu Desheng could reply, Liu Quansheng got drunk, took a step back, took off his grayish white shirt, unfolded the inner lining, and a look of pride appeared on his face.
Desheng and his wife were a little shocked. They walked closer and took a closer look. They saw that the names of Lingyuan's father and the old squire were densely written on the inner lining. On the lining, there were five large regular script characters of "Book of Fighting Against Ping Thieves" written in blood. , extremely eye-catching.
"This thing is the wish of Lingyuan's father, and it is also the belonging of the world's great road. Big brother, with this thing, and you and me adding fuel to the fire, I will definitely make my father remove all the duties of the second brother. Success will lead to drinking, and career will lead to wealth. Brother, make your decision!"
After saying that, Liu Quansheng seemed to be too drunk and lay on the bed, snoring loudly. Liu Yi covered him with a rabbit blanket and stood quietly aside.
Liu Desheng hesitated to speak, somewhat undecided.
At this moment, the thoughtful Yang Guan gently tugged on Liu Desheng's sleeves. Liu Desheng understood what he was doing, touched Liu Yi's hair bun, and said with a smile, "Nephew, you can take a rest with your father here for a while. Uncle and your aunt will go out and take a look." Look, how come the wine is flowing so slowly, these servants are just begging to be beaten!"
Yang Guan tapped his forehead to Liu Yi and followed Liu Desheng away.
As soon as the couple arrived downstairs, Liu Desheng urgently asked Yang Guan for advice, "Madam, how are you? Do I, the third brother, deserve your trust?"
Yang Guan said gently, "There are pros and cons, mixed joys and sorrows. The cons are husband, the fight between you and your second brother will turn into an open fight. From now on, husband and second brother Ruisheng will be incompatible. The pros are husband, you can win big prizes in front of your father." "
Liu Desheng's eyes widened, and his brows were full of pride, "It's better to come early than to come late. The sooner I get my father's approval, the sooner I can realize my ambition, and the sooner I can sleep peacefully!"
Yang Guan's eyes showed infinite tenderness, and he said softly, "Since the husband has made the decision, the wife can only follow her husband."
Liu Desheng laughed unconsciously, "Okay! I will go with my second brother to meet my father."
"Slow down! Husband, there are urgent and slow plans, and there is a difference between fish and salt. My father has always resented the internal strife in the family. My husband and his third brother Quan Sheng meet my father. In the name of greeting him, he should act according to the situation and make plans. Liu, say all the good things about his second brother Ruisheng, and at the same time urge Quan Sheng to go home and never accuse his second brother Ruisheng of wrongs and wrongs. In this way, your husband's great career will flourish." Yang Guan stroked his back with his hand, looking intently, "Husband, I have never been A sure-win chess game! With the "Book of Fighting Rebels and Ping Thieves" as the dragon, you have to catch the opponent and fight to know the outcome. As a wife, I believe that my husband will succeed immediately and take charge of the family business."
Liu Desheng couldn't help but nodded, and then he spoke impassionedly and whispered, "What a man who succeeds in drinking and getting rich. It seems that my third brother, the 'head of the three heroes of Quzhou', still has the same style! Today, my husband will be with me The third alcoholic brother, let’s go through this together!”
When the two were talking, at some unknown time, Liu Quansheng and his son had already stood at the entrance of the stairs. Liu Desheng laughed loudly and quickly stepped forward to grab Liu Quansheng's sleeve, "Second brother, let's go, let's go, let's go see father." !”
...
Liu Xing was seriously ill, and the cold weather and long winters in the northern part of the country were not conducive to the cultivation of asthma. However, Liu Xing was obsessed with family business and could not bear to move his family south.
In order to alleviate the pain a little, Liu Xingtun built a pond with stagnant water and placed his residence on it. The pool is like a pot, with a hole reserved at the bottom of the pool blessed with charcoal and herbs all year round. Liu Xing's residence seems to be steaming and grilling on a cage all year round. It is extremely warm in winter and even better in summer. Although the water in the pool below his residence changes four times a year, moss still covers the bottom and sides of the pool over the years. This is where the name Qingheju of the Liu family's ancestral home comes from.
Among the high-ranking officials and wealthy people, Liu Xing also received the nickname "Qinghe Jushi", but the people on the streets would always call him "Qinghe Evil Jiao".
When the two brothers Liu Desheng and Liu Quansheng stood by the pool, there was silence in the house.
Seeing this, Liu Desheng put it next to Liu Quansheng's ear, lowered his voice and said quietly, "Third brother, in the morning, my father gave Ying Zhi the precious two birds Chaoyang at the bottom of the box. After saying all the good things, he replaced the second brother. One life! You should still be angry at this moment. When you speak later, be careful not to offend father."
Liu Quansheng's eyes were blurry, his eyebrows were slightly raised, and his thin lips were upturned, and he said frivolously, "Oh? Doesn't the second brother also have a good uncle? He, Quzhou Mu Jiang Feng, should know that he is not submissive to me with just one word? How can he ask his father to spend so much money? .”
"Ha, if you count on his uncle, I'm afraid he'll want more than just a pair of birds rising in the sun. Then you can't blackmail your father for thousands of acres of fertile land!" Liu Desheng looked disgusted, and then walked to Liu Bu, who was already waiting in the snow. He whispered, "Liu Bu, let us know quickly that the third young master has gone home to visit his father!"
Before Liu Bu could respond, Old Liu Xing slowly opened the window from the second floor. At this moment, he was undressed in plain robes, with a calm expression on his face, looking up at the two of them.
Liu Xing, who already hated his unworthy son, had not seen his unfilial son Lao San for ten years. Today, he saw Liu Quansheng's disheveled clothes and slovenly beard for the first time. His anger surged again and he said angrily, "Oh? This is not Liu Da, a famous scholar in Quzhou. Sir? I haven’t been back for ten years, so how come you are here today? Oh, how can I, Qingheju, which is full of sordidness, be able to let Mr. Liu Da, who is upright and has a breeze on his sleeves, come here? "
"This trip is only for the prosperity and decline of the family, regardless of other reasons!"
Liu Quansheng responded with a cold look in his eyes, without even calling out his father.
