The first thousand one hundred and ninety-two chapters
"Husband, what's wrong with you? Why did you spill the tea when you were fine?"
Qi Yun, who was sitting under Young Master Liu, looked at Young Master Liu in surprise as he made a move and spilled all the tea on his clothes.
"Sister is right, it's not cold today! Husband, why are you shivering?"
Qi Ya on the side looked at Young Master Liu in confusion as well, with a hint of worry in her pretty eyes.
"Brother Zhi? Are you okay?"
Ling Weier also asked.
After listening to the words of Qi Yun and the three sisters, Liu Mingzhi looked blankly at the tea cup with only a little tea left in his hand and scratched his head blankly.
"My husband doesn't know what happened, but he suddenly shivered. Maybe it's because I didn't wear enough clothes!"
Wenren Yunshu took a sip of the teacup in his hand, and curled his lips with a strange look in his eyes: "If you are more ridiculous at night, let alone spilling the tea, whether you can hold the hair or not is a problem."
"It's just a lie. Why are you pretending? You don't know how to keep your voice down. Don't you know there are people living next door?"
"uh-huh"
The three sisters Qi Yun, Qiya, and Ling Weier looked at Wenren Yunshu, who was speaking in a strange and sinister manner, and coughed, then glanced at Mr. Liu, who also looked a little embarrassed, with a hint of blush on his pretty face.
I complained in my heart that my husband didn't know the importance of it.
Young Master Liu felt the resentful gazes of Qi Ya and the others, and shrugged helplessly while holding the teacup in his hand.
Look at what I am doing. Is this strange to me?
I have always been responsible for working hard and leaving the rest to God's will.
It's true that there was movement, but it wasn't me who made the noise. I'm not strong-willed and can't help myself. Can I blame Lao Niu for being too strong?
This makes absolutely no sense!
"Mingzhi, you guys came back too suddenly, and you didn't know to say hello in advance so that my father could instruct his servants to arrange a banquet in advance to welcome you."
"Ya'er, Yun'er, it's true that you two are so busy with government affairs that it's easy to neglect some things. You two didn't know how to ask someone to bring a letter back in advance. You don't behave like a woman at all."
While several people were talking, Qi Run, Mrs. Qi's voice came from the back of the alley.
Liu Mingzhi and the other four hurriedly stood up to greet them.
"My son-in-law, Liu Mingzhi, pays homage to my father-in-law and mother-in-law."
"My little girls Qi Ya and Qi Yun, please pay your respects to your parents."
"My niece heard about Yun Shu, and Wei'er paid homage to her uncle and aunt."
"No gifts, no gifts, no need to be polite to my family, just do it quickly."
Mrs. Qi Runqi sat at the main seat, looking at the five young masters Liu with undisguised joy. She was most happy to see them again after a long absence.
You can imagine how excited Qi Run was when her daughter and son-in-law came back after not seeing each other for more than a year.
As people get older, they become more and more lonely and think about the past more easily.
After Qi Run resigned and returned home, he was no different from the others.
The son and daughter-in-law were far away in the capital, and the two daughters followed the son-in-law to Yingzhou, which was further away. The couple was left alone in Jinling, and they inevitably felt a little lonely and deserted.
Qi Run looked at Liu Mingzhi with a chuckle: "Mingzhi, you just arrived in Jiangnan just after the Mid-Autumn Festival. Were you delayed on the way?"
Liu Mingzhi nodded regretfully: "My father-in-law is very wise. I originally thought that I would be able to reunite with you two elders on the Mid-Autumn Festival and deal with some personal matters. But I never thought that the three days of rain on the road would delay us a little."
"I hope my parents-in-law won't be offended."
Qi Run waved his hands hurriedly, his eyes a little sour: "What are you talking about? I and your mother-in-law will be very happy if you can come back."
"It's been more than a year since we last said goodbye. I miss you, but forget it, don't talk about it anymore, just come back. It's not important if the festival is bad, reunion is the most important."
Liu Mingzhi felt uncomfortable seeing Qi Run's appearance, and sister Qi Ya felt even more uncomfortable.
However, there was no way to marry and follow her husband. The husband went to the north to serve as the governor of the two provinces. As his wife, he could only follow him to the north. They were thousands of miles away from the south to the north. It was impossible to see the two elders often.
"Father, mother, it is your daughter who is unfilial and makes you two parents worried."
Sister Qi Ya said this and was about to kneel down to salute, but was stopped by Mrs. Qi.
"Good boy, don't be like this, don't be like this. Mom and your father, we both understand that you and your wife can't help but live on the emperor's salary."
"Get up quickly!"
Qi Ya and the two girls sat back in silence, mist forming in their pretty eyes. Although it was joy to meet again, there was no sadness mixed with it.
"Father-in-law and mother-in-law, my son-in-law is back firstly to celebrate the festival with you, and secondly to accompany Miss Yun Shu to Dangyang Academy to see if the teacher has returned."
"The second thing is to come back to visit the grave. The death anniversary of sister Ruyi and the death anniversary of my third uncle and aunt are here. Everyone has gone to the north. We can't let them stay alone in Jiangnan."
Liu Mingzhi has not forgotten his previous promise. Except that he cannot come back, he will come back no matter where he is to pay homage to Ruyi's spirit in heaven.
It happened that the death anniversary of the third uncle Ling Daoming was within a few days of Ruyi, so we planned to pay homage together.
Wenren Yunshu learned that Young Master Liu was going back to Jiangnan. Wenren Yunshu couldn't sit still after receiving the letter from his grandfather, so he naturally returned to Jiangnan together.
I want to see if grandpa has returned to Dangyang Academy.
Qi Run nodded silently. Naturally, Qi Run and his wife knew everything about Ruyi's affairs and Ling Daoming's affairs.
"Mingzhi, you are a child who values love and justice. I did not misjudge you. I am also proud of my two children, Ya'er Yun'er, for choosing you as a husband who values love and justice."
"Let's stay in the house for a few days first. Although there are many people living in the old Liu Mansion, your father is not here. Going back suddenly will inevitably cause complications. Let's talk about it on the anniversary of the child Ruyi's death!"
"My son-in-law has this intention. In this case, he will bother his father-in-law and mother-in-law."
"Why don't you bother me? I wish you could stay here longer. This house has been deserted for too long."
Qi Run didn't know what he was thinking of as he spoke, with a hint of melancholy on his face.
Mrs. Qi glanced around and looked at Qi Yun: "Where is Chengzhi and Yaoyao? Why didn't you follow him back?"
Qi Yun's face was full of apologies: "Mom, these two children insist on staying with their grandparents in the capital for a while, and my daughter can't persuade them to come."
Mrs. Qi nodded regretfully: "Okay, I'll see you later. It's okay. Don't blame yourself."
Qi Run stood up straight away: "Madam, you go arrange the kitchen to prepare food and wine, I will ask my servants to clean the room for Mingzhi and the others!"
"I know."
Mrs. Qi was just about to go to the backyard when she suddenly thought of something and turned around to wave to Qi Ya.
"Ya'er, you and Wei Niang go and help."
"Okay mother."
Mrs. Qi and her daughter walked towards the backyard, Qi Ya obediently supported Mrs. Qi's arm.
"Ya'er!"
"Huh? What's wrong, mother?"
Mrs. Qi stopped and looked at Qi Ya's belly hesitantly and frowned: "It's been so long since you've been married, and your belly doesn't react at all?"
Qi Ya was stunned, nodded shyly and lonely, and subconsciously raised her hand to caress her belly: "There has been no movement!"
Mrs. Qi circled around Qi Ya's curvy body twice with a puzzled look on her face. This figure looked like the material for giving birth to a son. How come her stomach didn't react at all after being married for so long?
"Ya'er, do you have a lot of sex with this kid Mingzhi?"
"Ah? Mother, what are you talking about!"
Qi Ya looked at Mrs. Qi shyly, lowered her pretty head, and her cheeks were like burning clouds.
"Ya'er, my mother is not an outsider. Why are you so shy? My mother is telling you serious things!"
"There are three kinds of unfilial piety. The greatest is not having an heir. Chengzhi Yaoyao is so big, but your belly doesn't move at all. What will you do in the future?"
"This child Mingzhi is no longer the son of a merchant, but the Duke of Dingguo! If you don't give birth to a son or a daughter, what will you do if you fall out of favor in the future?"
"Your life is already hard enough. How can your mother feel at ease if you fall out of favor again?"
"You are different from your sister. She is the wife of the Liu family, and you are a concubine. Our popular belief has always been that you can divorce if you don't leave for three years."
"It's been almost three years since you two got married. How can you, my mother, not be anxious!"
"Tell the truth to mother, is your sexual relationship with Mingzhi not harmonious? That's why there is no movement in your stomach?"
"Mother, dear you"
Qi Ya glanced around with a blushing face, then she whispered into Mrs. Qi's ear, until her pink earlobes were stained with rouge.
Jade finger.
Mrs. Qi looked at her daughter's shy look in confusion and murmured to herself: "Such a ridiculous sexual intercourse makes no sense. Is it because Ya'er is old and her health is not good?"
"Ya'er, let's not talk about this matter for now. Mom will find a few doctors to check your pulse these days. Now let's go arrange the banquet first!"
"yes!"
Half a day later, Mr. Liu, who was full of wine and food, was taking a walk in the inner courtyard of the Qi Mansion. Wenren Yun Shu hesitantly walked to Liu Mingzhi's side.
"Liu, I want to go back to Dangyang Academy to see if grandpa is there. Can you accompany me?"
Liu Mingzhi stared blankly at Wenren Yunshu for a moment and nodded slightly: "Okay, it's still early, so I'll go with you. If the old man is here, this young master will be relieved. I will be happy to hand you over early."
"you"
Wenren Yunshu, who had a dull expression at first, suddenly became angry. Young Master Liu stepped on him and stepped on him, hugging his feet and wailing.
"Take the horse, my aunt is waiting for you outside the door!"
Young Master Liu looked at Wenren Yunshu's retreating back and smacked his lips, sighed silently and walked towards the stable.
"Oh, it's still early in spring, why did you get into this problem?"
Under the mountain gate of Dangyang Academy in Erlong Mountain, Wenren Yunshu caressed the stone tablet at the mountain gate with a complicated expression on her pretty face, one of expectation and hesitation.
The reason is self-evident: I hope to see my grandpa, but I am afraid that I will not be able to see him.
Liu Mingzhi stood aside and looked at Wen Ren Yunshu with an indifferent expression. There was a time when he himself was just like Wen Ren Yunshu.
"I feel even more timid when I'm close to my hometown!"
