Chapter 3229 Peace and prosperity(2/3)
"It is a great pity that I have not been able to meet such a beautiful young master.
By the way, does my mother know about your romantic affair back then, old man?"
Liu Zhi'an took a sip of the wine and gave Young Master Liu a disdainful look.
"You bastard, why don't you go back and ask your mother now if she knows about this past incident."
Seeing Liu Zhi'an's reaction, Young Master Liu suddenly became disappointed.
My old man is so confident. It is obvious that my mother knows about this past incident.
In this case, the idea of using this matter to make some fuss and extort some money from the old man's pocket is probably not realistic.
After Liu Dashao figured this out, he looked at Liu Zhi'an angrily, smiled and waved his hand.
"Oh, old man, what are you thinking about? I'm just a little curious, young master. I'm just a little curious."
"Oh, is it so?"
Young Master Liu instantly came over with an apologetic smile on his face: "Hey, hey, it's necessary. Don't you still know what I am like as an old man?"
Liu Zhi'an sneered a few times and directly said what Young Master Liu had said before: "Hehehe, I don't believe it."
Young Master Liu's face froze, the corners of his mouth trembled a few times, and he didn't know what to say for a moment.
"Uh! Uh! Uh!"
Seeing the awkward expression on his eldest son's face, Liu Zhi'an casually shook the wine bottle in his hand and looked at Liu Yuan, who was sitting next to him, with a faint smile.
"Liu Yuan."
"master?"
"Brother, here's the wine."
"Yes, I understand."
Liu Yuan immediately stood up, took out two bottles of wine from the food box, and happily placed them on the low table.
"Master, young master, please use it slowly."
"Brother, you don't have to just watch me drink with this bastard, you can also drink more glasses yourself.
The weather is so cold, drink some wine to warm yourself up."
Liu Yuan nodded happily and pointed to the wine bottle next to his small bamboo chair and the plate containing peanuts on the low table.
"Master, you are drinking, you are drinking."
Liu Zhi'an chuckled and nodded, then picked up a wine bottle and placed it next to Young Master Liu.
"You bastard, the topics we and I talked about just now are just old things that can be said or left unsaid.
The most important topic we should continue talking about now is about your knot."
Liu Zi picked up a piece of pastry and took a bite. He chewed it slowly and turned to look at Liu Zhi'an.
"After all, isn't it still the case?"
"Hehehe, why do you think so?"
Young Master Liu's face was slightly startled, and his eyes instantly became confused.
"me……"
When Liu Zhi'an saw Young Master Liu looking like this, he poured a glass of wine from the pot and put the glass into his mouth with a half-smile.
"You bastard, I'm going to ask you this question again.
Based on your understanding of this old guy Li Zheng, do you think he is satisfied with his achievements in this life?"
Hearing Liu Zhi'an mention this issue again, Young Master Liu's face tightened slightly, and he stuffed the remaining half of the cake into his mouth with trembling arms.
"Judging from my father's reaction before his death, we can see the contribution he made to me in this life.
Not very, not very satisfied."
"Not very satisfied?"
"Yes, judging from my understanding of his character, I am not very satisfied."
"However, from the perspective of the people of the world and the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, they are all full of praise for your father-in-law's achievements in his life.
Including your kid, don’t you think so too?”
Liu Zhi'an held a wine glass in one hand and a tobacco bag in the other, leaning forward to take a look at the float on the water.
"You little bastard, I'm asking you, during your reign, how many years has it been since you last visited our Dalong country? How long have you not visited the common people?"
Mr. Liu's face was stunned, and he was silent for a long time with his brows slightly furrowed. He picked up the wine glass and took a sip of the drink.
"Over the years, the imperial court has been busy with government affairs, and has been plagued by all kinds of trivial matters, big and small.
Except for some special things, I have a lot of time to leave the capital and go to other places to see and wander around.
Therefore, therefore, it has been many years since I went around the world to see what happened among the people when I had time, as I did before.
Old man, as I told you just now, I have always been quite leisurely and elegant.
It’s just that I really can’t leave!”
Seeing Young Master Liu's sad and helpless expression, Liu Zhi'an smiled and nodded.
"Bastard, you don't need to explain anything.
Regarding the situation on your side, I understand. I understand everything.
In his position, he should seek his own government!"
After hearing Liu Zhi'an's comforting words, Young Master Liu picked up the wine flask and drank several large sips of fine wine, then sighed with a sigh of relief.
"Oh, life is so difficult in this world!"
"Hehehe, who in this life has it easy?
You bastard, I have a question for you."
Young Master Liu stopped eating melon seeds and looked at Liu Zhi'an in surprise.
"Well, what's the problem?"
"I want to ask you, what year is it today?"
Hearing Liu Zhi'an's question, Young Master Liu suddenly looked stunned. He didn't know why he would ask such a question.
Although he didn't understand Liu Zhi'an's intention, Young Master Liu still smiled and replied: "Old man, it's just the New Year.
Today is the seventh year of peace!"
"Seven years of peace!"
"Yes, seven years of peace!"
"Hehehe, seven years of Taiping, seven years of Taiping.
Then do you know how our Dalong people today evaluate the Year of Peace?"
Hearing this, Liu Mingzhi shook his head subconsciously.
"I don't know, how do you evaluate it?"
Liu Zhi'an stared at Young Master Liu in silence for a long time, and then raised his wine glass cheerfully to signal.
"You little bastard, come on, let's have a drink."
"Old man, I respect you."
Liu Zhi'an happily raised the drink in his hand and drank it down, then he laughed and placed the glass on the low table.
"Hahaha, hahaha, I will tell you now how the people of the world evaluate the Year of Peace."
"Um?"
"The years of Taiping under the rule of Emperor Taiping are called the age of peace and prosperity.
Hahaha, hahaha, it’s called a peaceful and prosperous age!”
Young Master Liu immediately trembled, and his lips trembled slightly as he looked towards Young Master Liu.
