As long as you, Zhi'er, don't take the initiative to bring up the topic of the Crown Prince and Crown Prince in front of my mother, I will not take the initiative to mention a word about it."
"this!"
"Son, you are in your early forties now.
You already understand many things.
It can even be said that on some things, my mother and your father together may not be able to see things more clearly than you.
When we had nothing to do at home and stayed together chatting about all kinds of interesting things, your father would often tell my mother.
Since ancient times, talented people have emerged from generation to generation, and the new generation is better than the old one.
Not only are we old, but our ideas can no longer keep up with the pace of you young people.
Now that you are old, you have to accept your age and accept it.
We cannot always look at your thoughts with our own thoughts.
Let alone use your own concepts and vision to forcibly restrict your concepts and vision.
If you do that, not only will we not be able to help you, but we will actually hold you back."
Liu Mingzhi turned his head and looked in the direction of the main hall, and sighed softly with a sad expression.
"Oh, mother, the child is unfilial and makes you and the old man worry."
"Silly boy, you are only worried about the flesh that fell from your mother's body. If your mother doesn't worry about you, who else can you worry about?
My child, please don’t see your father quarreling with you or scolding you whenever he has something to do.
In fact, your father is very clear about many things!"
Liu Mingzhi nodded silently and happily held Mrs. Liu's arms in his arms.
"Mother, these children know what you are talking about, they all know it."
"It's good that you understand everything. If you understand everything, my mother will feel relieved."
"Mom, my child has a problem and I would like to hear your advice."
"what is the problem?"
"Mom, there is no one else here right now, so we two will have a heart-to-heart talk.
Tell me your thoughts. Who do you think is more suitable to inherit the throne among brothers Chengfeng and Chengzhi?
Of course, it’s not just Chengfeng, Chengzhi, and Chenggan who are three grown-up brothers.
Zhenghao, Zhengran, Zhengwen, Yunrui, Chengrui and their brothers are also among them."
Madam Liu suddenly stopped and looked at Young Master Liu hesitantly.
"This this!"
"Mother, today our words came out of your mouth and into my ears.
I promise you, no third person will know what the two of us talked about.
Mom, you can feel free to tell your child what you think.
No matter which of your grandsons you think is more suitable to inherit the throne, I won't tell Yun'er, Sister Ya and the others what you think."
Mrs. Liu hesitated for a moment, looked at Young Master Liu and let out a long sigh.
"Oh, you brats, Chengfeng, Chengzhi and their brothers.
In my mother's mind, the palms and backs of these hands are full of flesh!
With this question of yours, you obviously want to embarrass your mother and me!"
"Mother, I definitely don't mean this.
You just need to evaluate from a fair perspective which of the brothers is more suitable to be the crown prince."
As Young Master Liu spoke, he silently took out the tobacco bag from his waist and filled it with tobacco skillfully.
"You bastard, when did you become like that old guy of yours?
The addiction to smoking dry cigarettes is actually getting bigger and bigger.
Dry tobacco is not a good thing, it is very harmful to the body, so you should smoke less."
Liu Dadian lit the tobacco with a fire stick and nodded hurriedly.
"Mother, just smoke one pot, and my child will smoke one pot."
"You!"
When Liu Mingzhi saw his mother's angry look, he quickly laughed apologetically.
"Hehehe, the child can control it, he can control it."
"Zhi'er."
"Hey, mother?"
"Children, Zhenghao, Zhengran, Zhengwen, Yunrui, their brothers are not adults yet, so I won't talk about my mother.
For my mother’s sake, let’s talk about the three brothers Chengfeng, Chengzhi, and Chenggan.”
"Mother, tell me, my dear, I am all ears."
"Based on the capabilities of the three brothers Zhi'er, Chengfeng, Chengzhi, and Chenggan, I can hardly find any faults as a mother.
The kid Chengfeng, like his mother Qinglian, has a stable personality, but he has a feeling of lack of confidence.
Chengzhi, like the girl Yun'er, has a reserved personality. Although he looks calm on the outside, he is very assertive.
However, this child's character is too reserved, and he lacks a bit of enterprising spirit.
The child Cheng Qian is the same as the girl Yan'er. His character is quite indifferent to the world and lets nature take its course."
After hearing Mrs. Liu's evaluation of his three sons, Young Master Liu nodded hurriedly.
"Yes, yes, mother, you are absolutely right.
Although there are some differences between your views and my views, they are very much the same."
Mrs. Liu put the oil-paper umbrella in Young Master Liu's hand, walked silently to the flower bed, stretched out her hand and broke off a branch of wintersweet that was blooming in the wind and snow.
"Judging from the abilities of the three brothers, I really don't know who should be more suitable to be the crown prince and heir apparent.
However, if we follow the rules.
The most suitable candidate to inherit the throne is none other than this kid Chengzhi."
Liu Mingzhi put away the oil-paper umbrella in his hand, squatted on the snow and grabbed a handful of snow, holding it firmly in his palm.
"Mother, my child's thoughts are the same as yours.
But, at the same time, it's like what you said before.
Chengzhi's character is too reserved, and he lacks a bit of enterprising spirit."
"However, the fact is that you still have great expectations for this child Chengzhi."
Young Master Liu frowned and instinctively looked towards Madam Liu.
"Mom, how did you know?"
"Silly boy, your mother and I are certainly not as strong as you, but for my mother, I have finally reached the half-step innate realm.
The afternoon before yesterday when we were still in the East Palace, when you and Yun'er were whispering, you were only a dozen steps away from your mother.
With such a small distance, the words between you and Yun'er girl, I can't imagine hearing them.
Yanwu, Liu Yanwu.
What my mother said is right."
Young Master Liu smiled bitterly and nodded: "Yes, that's exactly what Ha'er and Yun'er said."
"So, in your heart, you also think that this child Chengzhi is more suitable to inherit Dalong's land of 100,000 miles?"
"Chengzhi?"
"Yes, what else?"
