Is that what I understand it to mean?"
"Yes, that's what you understand, old man.
Cheng Qian and Tong'er are already engaged."
Liu Zhian took a deep breath, picked up the drink next to him and drank it all in one gulp.
"You bastard, why don't you tell me about something as important as your lifelong career?"
Liu Mingzhi picked up the pot and refilled a few glasses of wine, then shrugged his shoulders with a depressed expression.
"Old man, you have seen with your own eyes how busy I am during this period of the year.
The large and small court meetings and batches of official documents are enough to keep me busy, young master.
In such a busy situation, how can I have the extra time to think about this matter?"
After listening to Mr. Liu's explanation, Liu Zhi'an pursed his lips a few times, but finally said nothing.
Indeed, I have seen with my own eyes how busy Mr. Liu has been during this period.
Liu Zhi'an picked up the wine glass and took a sip, exhaling the alcohol with a look of helplessness.
"Okay, whatever you say is what it is."
"Hehehe, old man, why does your tone sound so reluctant?"
Liu Zhi'an rolled his eyes angrily and ate the roasted sweet potato in his hand.
"What is the origin of this girl Zhou Tong'er?"
"One of my young master's life and death brothers, the apple of Zhou Baoyu's eye."
"Zhou Baoyu."
Liu Zhi'an repeated Zhou Baoyu's name softly, narrowed his hands slightly, and thought thoughtfully.
"Zhou Baoyu, are you talking about Zhou Baoyu, one of the Six Guards of the New Army and the general of the trapped army?"
"Yes, that's this guy."
Liu Zhi'an nodded with a clear expression, and then dropped the sweet potato peel in his hand into the bamboo basket at his feet.
"The tiger girl from Jiangmen is from a very good background.
Being married to this boy Cheng Qian is definitely a perfect match."
"Old man, you know my young master's character.
I don't take things like being well-matched too seriously."
Liu Zhi'an breathed a sigh of relief and picked up his drink with a sad expression.
"Bastard, even so, sometimes, after all, you cannot avoid being vulgar!
This is true even if you, the boy, are now the king of a country.
The couple came from different backgrounds, so their vision and ideas of how to look at things in the future are not necessarily completely different, but they are worlds apart. There must be some gap to some extent.
And once this happens.
For the couple, some conflicts are inevitable.
In other words, if the couple cannot be of one mind.
Such a marriage is a disaster rather than a blessing!"
Liu Mingzhi was silent for a moment with his brows slightly furrowed, then smiled and nodded.
"That's true, but nothing is absolute!
This young master wants to give the following children a certain degree of freedom in their life-long matters.
It would be best if you are a good match.
On the contrary, as a father, I will naturally respect their own choices.
After all, no one knows what will happen in the future."
Liu Zhi'an gently turned the wine glass in his hand and looked at Liu Yuan sitting next to him with a faint smile.
"Brother, what do you think?"
Liu Yuan was silent for a while and said with a smile: "Master, I don't know what to say.
If you have to say something, just let it be.
As the young master said just now, no one knows what will happen in the future."
Young Master Liu raised his eyebrows and gestured to Liu Yuan while holding the wine glass with a smile on his face.
"Uncle Yuan, I would like to propose a toast to you."
"Okay, okay, Master, please."
Liu Zhi'an looked at the two men Liu and Young Master who were drinking together, took a breath of hot breath into his palms, stood up and stretched.
"Now that the engagement between this boy Cheng Gan and this girl Zhou Tong'er has been finalized, when do you plan to get them married?"
"Yun'er, Yan'er, the sisters and others have already had their fortunes calculated by the Qintian Prison and the fortune tellers in the city a month ago.
From the beginning of the month to the end of this year, there were no good and auspicious days.
Next year, after the spring of next year, we will let this boy Cheng Qian and Tong'er girl get married."
Liu Zhi'an nodded happily, picked up his drink and drank it all in one gulp.
"Okay, great."
Liu Zhi'an took out a handkerchief and wiped his hands, happily put his hands in his warm sleeves, and then hurried towards the inner courtyard.
"This boy Cheng Qian has started a family and started a business. If I and your mother kiss us two old people, we will have one less thing to worry about."
Young Master Liu watched Liu Zhi'an's back walk into the corridor and drank the wine in his glass silently.
"Master."
"Hmm? Uncle Yuan?"
"Master, you have been busy for most of the day.
It's getting late now, so you should go back and rest early."
Liu Mingzhi took a long breath, slowly put the wine glass aside, chuckled and gave Liu Yuan a fist.
"Uncle Yuan, I will go back first, and you should rest early."
"Hey, I know this. Master, please go back and rest early."
Liu Mingzhi looked sideways at the room under the door of the mansion and stood up slowly.
"Uncle Yuan, if you are not used to living here, ask the servants to notify Xiaosong and ask him to take over your place."
"Yeah, thank you for your concern, young master. I understand."
Liu Mingzhi nodded slightly, said nothing, tightened his loose cloak, and silently hurried toward the inner courtyard.
Soon.
Young Master Liu had just arrived in the inner courtyard when a beautiful figure carrying a red lantern came up to him.
"Husband, you are back."
When Liu Mingzhi saw Qinglian approaching him, he immediately took out his hands from his sleeves.
"Lian'er, you've been waiting for a long time."
Qinglian picked up the big red lantern in her hand and looked around, looking at her husband's caring eyes, she smiled and shook her head.
"No, no, I just came over after washing myself in the room."
Liu Mingzhi raised his hand and took the lantern from Qinglian's hand, then walked towards the corner with his arms around the beautiful lady's shoulders.
"Lian'er, how are Chengfeng and Serena doing?"
Qinglian put away the smile on her pretty face, and sighed with a hint of sadness between her brows.
"Oh, not so good."
