"Yeah, yeah, thank you sister-in-law, sister-in-law, you can eat too."
Young Master Liu shook his head with the same expression of helplessness, picked up the wine glass and gestured to Qi Run.
"Father-in-law, my son-in-law would like to give you a drink."
Qi Run looked at Liu Zhi'an with a half-smiling look, and cheerfully raised his glass to signal.
"Drink together, drink together."
After half a day.
Everyone in the hall was already full of wine and food.
As for the little ones like Liu Yunxin, Liu Lianniang, and Liu Keke, they had already abandoned their bowls and ran off to have a snowball fight somewhere.
Mrs. Liu took out her handkerchief and wiped the grease from the corners of her mouth, then turned sideways and looked at Mr. Liu, who was carefully tasting the tea.
"Zhi'er."
Young Master Liu quickly took off the tea cup from his mouth and looked up at Madam Liu.
"Mom, what's wrong?"
"Zhi'er, regarding the banquet for Chenshuo, Qingxue and their brother and sister's full moon banquet, after dinner yesterday, Yun'er already told my mother, your father and us all your thoughts."
Liu Mingzhi sipped the tea leaves at the corner of his mouth and asked softly: "Mother, do you have any objections?"
Mrs. Liu glanced at Liu Zhi'an, smiled and nodded.
"I have two small comments."
"Hmm? Mom, please tell me."
"Zhi'er, your grandparents are far away from the East China Sea. It's really not convenient for them to come to the capital for a banquet in this kind of weather, having to travel and sleep in the open air.
For the sake of their health, you do not intend to invite them, this is a matter of course."
Liu Mingzhi put down the tea cup in his hand and chewed the tea leaves in his mouth silently, looking a little curious.
"Mom, what do you mean?"
"Zhi'er, you don't plan to invite your grandpa, grandma and the other two elders, and my mother has no objection to this.
However, your second uncle, fifth uncle, third aunt, fifth aunt, and eighth aunt are not too far from the capital.
Especially your fifth aunt's house, which is only six days away from the capital.
In this case, wouldn’t it be inappropriate if you didn’t invite a few of them?”
Young Master Liu swallowed the tea leaves in his mouth, stood up hesitantly, and wandered silently in the hall thoughtfully.
"Mother."
"Zhi'er, tell me."
"Mom, with this kind of weather, five or six days of travel is already a lot."
"Son, my mother knows that you are worried about the health of your uncle, aunt and the rest of the family.
But, after all, this is a great event for our Liu family to welcome a new member!"
Liu Mingzhi was silent for a moment with his brows slightly furrowed, and nodded silently.
"Okay, kid, listen to your mother.
When it's time to send out invitations, the child will prepare one for his uncle and aunt."
Mrs. Liu saw the vague look of helplessness on her son's face and immediately swallowed the words that came to her lips.
Did you mean it, did you put your son in a bit of trouble?
Mrs. Liu sighed silently and did not say anything more.
When Liu Ying saw this, she glared at Young Master Liu and immediately handed a cup of tea to Mrs. Liu.
"Sister-in-law, you drink tea."
"Hey, thank you, little sister."
"Sister-in-law, are you okay?"
"It's okay, sister-in-law is okay."
When Liu Mingzhi saw his mother's reaction, he became a little at a loss for a moment.
"mother!"
Mrs. Liu took the tea cup from Liu Ying's hand, looked at Young Master Liu kindly, smiled and shook her head.
"Son, it's okay for my mother."
Liu Zhi'an put down the wine glass in his hand, took out a handkerchief from his sleeve and wiped the corners of his mouth, stood up and looked at Qi Run.
"relatives by marriage."
"Hmm? In-laws?"
"I've had enough to eat and drink, and I'm going to smoke a pot of dry tobacco. Will you go?"
Qi Run first glanced at Young Master Liu, then at Madam Liu, and immediately stood up and followed.
"Does it need to be said? Of course I have to go."
Qi Ya covered her red lips and coughed lightly, stood up and waved to the maids beside her.
"Yu'er, why don't you come over and clean it up quickly?"
"Sisters, please obey."
Qi Ya walked up behind Mr. Liu and patted his arm gently.
"Husband."
"Hey, Sister Ya?"
"Husband, you have been eating and drinking for so long just now. I think your stomach is full.
It's still early now, why don't you go for a walk in the garden to eat something."
Liu Mingzhi looked at Qi Ya gratefully, stood up and walked towards Mrs. Liu.
"Mom, the child is a little full from eating. Please accompany the child to the garden to eat."
Mrs. Liu put down the teacup in her hand and stood up with a smile.
"Okay, I'll take a walk with you for my mother's sake."
"Mother, please."
"Silly boy, why are you being so polite to my mother? Let's go together."
Qi Yun watched Mrs. Liu send off, and the figures of Liu Dashao, mother and son gradually faded away. Her charming face held Qi Ya's wrist and walked towards the back hall with a worried expression.
"Sister, will something happen?"
"Silly sister, what are you thinking about?
Don’t we sisters still know what kind of character your husband is like?”
"Sister, of course I know my husband's character. The key thing I'm worried about is my mother."
"Then you don't have to worry, my mother is very reasonable."
Qi Yun rubbed her forehead with her fingers, and sighed with worry in her beautiful eyes.
"Oh, I hope so.
It was obviously a happy event, why did it become like this?"
Qi Ya sighed sadly and patted the back of her sister's hand gently.
"Well, if my sister's prediction is correct, my mother should be the one we miss our grandpa, grandma, uncle, and aunt."
"this!"
In the garden of the inner courtyard of Liu Mansion.
Liu Mingzhi stopped and directly put the oil-paper umbrella in his hand into Mrs. Liu's hand.
