The little cutie’s surprised and curious eyes made the two standing brothers walk up with a smile, bowed and gave a big salute.
“Sister-in-law, we know we were wrong. We were wrong to break your lantern.
Now that you have kicked and scolded me, you have a lot of trouble, please calm down, okay? Let’s apologize and don’t be like us dandy brothers, okay?”
“Sister-in-law, I’m sorry, we shouldn’t have broken your lantern, please forgive us!”
“Are you no longer threatening this girl?”
“Slutty mouth, slutty mouth!”
“Angry words, angry words!”
"Brother Yang, Brother Pan, how could you...um..."
The young man surnamed Yang covered the mouth of his friend lying on the ground: "Auntie, this kid has a stupid mind. He was kicked by a donkey when he was a child. Don't be as knowledgeable as him."
“Yes, yes, yes, not only was he kicked by a donkey, but he was also thrown once by his father and my uncle. He has good times and bad times, and he is not as experienced as him.”
The little cutie looked at the two brothers nodding and bowing politely, then smiled bitterly, put down his rolled-up sleeves, and waved his hands casually.
"Okay, okay, this girl is too impulsive. I forgive you, get up!"
“Thank you, my aunt!”
“Uh-huh.”
“He also said thank you to my sister-in-law!”
“Hey, it’s okay, it’s okay, stop covering your mouth, your brain isn’t working properly in the first place, and you’re going to die if you cover it again!”
“He has a lot of energy, he’ll be fine.”
“Yes, yes, we are all used to it.”
“Sister-in-law, how about we give you a lantern as compensation? What kind of lantern do you like?
As long as you point it out, our brothers will get it for you if they think it over, and we will make sure that you will be satisfied with your trip to the lantern festival."
“That’s right, you can say whatever you like. If you can’t find anything you like at the lantern festival, just tell me a style and we will make it ourselves to compensate you.”
“No, no, no, let’s go, let’s go!”
“Yes, yes, let’s take our leave!”
Looking at the embarrassed figures of the three brothers, the little cutie put away her gossipy expression, glanced at the crowd watching on both sides and gradually dispersed, and then turned angrily and looked behind her.
“Eldest brother, second brother, and mistress, are you just going to watch this? Fortunately, I have practiced Kung Fu. What if I had not practiced Kung Fu and was bullied?
I don’t know how to come up and help you, Yue’er doesn’t like you anymore!
It’s broken, Sister Yiyi, Sister Feifei, Sister Jingyao... They haven’t caught up yet, let’s go find them quickly!
There are so many people visiting the lantern festival, and it will be troublesome if they get separated again."
Liu Chengfeng and his three brothers glanced at the little cutie who was walking carelessly with a reserved look. They glanced behind the cutie from time to time, acting honestly like a mouse seeing a cat.
“What’s wrong with you? Are you stupid?
It’s okay if you don’t help in the fight, why are you still standing still?
Are you okay?"
Looking at the three brothers whose hands were still falling vertically and still motionless, the little cutie raised his hand and waved in front of the three brothers.
“What’s wrong? I’m just as angry as when I saw my dad after committing the crime and didn’t dare to take a breath.
Look at what a bear you are, okay?"
“As for that, the three brothers are right, it’s better for young people not to be too arrogant.”
“How can you call yourself a young man if you don’t have a lot of energy? I am a beautiful girl with a wild mind, and I will become stronger when I encounter someone strong. In the palace… inside…”
Young Master Liu fiddled with the mud between his fingernails and looked at the little cutie who turned around and looked stiff after seeing him with a playful look.
“What’s going on inside the palace? Go on.”
After the little cutie confirmed that the group of people standing not far away were really his father, mother, and aunt, his big and exquisite eyes began to wander erratically.
“Ah! What is Yue’er doing out today?
Let’s enjoy the lanterns, yes, the lanterns are here.
Eldest brother, second brother, and mistress, you all pulled me away so fast that even sister Yiyi and the others couldn't catch up.
I'm going to find them first, see you later!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the little cutie picked up the hem of her skirt and ran towards the distance, leaving the three brothers behind.
“Dad...Dad!”
“Mother!”
“Auntie!”
Liu Mingzhi moved his gaze away from the three brothers and looked faintly at the little cutie's retreating figure.
After pondering for a while with an elusive expression, Young Master Liu looked at the three brothers with a half-smile but not a smile: "Why don't you go enjoy the lanterns and stay here waiting to be beaten?"
“Huh? Ah! Yes, yes, please leave, my child.”
The three brothers looked at each other, hunched over and hurriedly chased in the direction where the little cutie was running.
Under the surprised looks of all the beauties, Young Master Liu waved the folding fan in his hand with a smile but not a smile, and took the lead in walking towards the Eight Treasures Ruyi Lamp in front of him.
He glanced at the young men under the lanterns who were accompanied by ladies, looked at the young men muttering softly in riddles under the Ruyi lanterns, and gave the old man who owned the lanterns a fist.
“Old sir, can you guess the riddle and take away the eight-treasure wishful lantern?”
“Young Master is right, please!”
“Chrysanthemums blooming in the Mid-Autumn Festival? Is it also an idiom?”
“Yes, the chrysanthemums are blooming in the Mid-Autumn Festival.”
Liu Mingzhi pondered thoughtfully for a while, looked at the group of beauties who had followed him and said with a slight smile: "The flowers are blooming and the moon is full, right?"
“You are a great talent, I will take out the lamp immediately!”
Seeing that Mr. Liu correctly guessed the lantern riddles as soon as he came up, and took down their favorite eight-treasure lantern, the other wives of the other young scholars slapped their husbands' arms in angrily manner.
Seeing them staring at beauties like Qi Yun, they were even more angry.
They all stamped on the insteps of their husbands one after another and walked directly towards the lanterns in front of them.
“Aiya, aiya, madam, please wait for your husband.”
The old man smiled slightly and handed the lantern to Mr. Liu: "Young master, you are so lucky, your lantern!"
“Thank you!”
“Qingshi, give you the lantern you want.”
Yun Qingshi happily took it: "Thank you, husband!"
Liu Mingzhi saluted the old man and waved his hand.
"who is the next?"
Huyan Yunyao hurriedly pointed to the lantern more than ten steps away: "I, I, I, I want that cloud gauze lantern."
“Let’s go! I’ll see if my husband can be captured by you.”
About half an hour later, except for Young Master Liu, all the beauties picked up lanterns of different shapes in their hands.
Even the two sisters Chen Jie, He Shu and Ren Qingrui, who were dressed in bookboy clothes and had a fake beard, each had one.
Even though Chen Jie and He Shu were secretly delighted that Liu Mingzhi also got a lantern for them, because all the wives of this man were present, the two women still deliberately declined.
Finally, under the persuasion of the third princess, she pretended to be reluctant and accepted it.
Chen Jie was just holding a lantern, but her phoenix eyes kept glancing at Ren Qingrui, who was also holding a koi lantern.
When they first met, because of her personal relationship with Liu Mingzhi, she was a little flustered when she met Qi Yun, Qi Ya and other beauties.
Hand did not pay careful attention to the group of people following Liu Mingzhi.
It wasn't until the relationship gradually became harmonious and everyone started chatting and laughing that she noticed this little book boy who had been following her friend and looked familiar at first glance.
At first she thought she had seen it somewhere and didn't pay much attention to it.
But when Ren Qingrui stood under a favorite lantern, the light clearly reflected Ren Qingrui's handsome appearance. Chen Jie, who looked at it casually, felt that the little book boy next to Liu Mingzhi looked unusually familiar.
It looks so familiar that it’s definitely not as simple as seeing it by chance before.
He looks more and more similar to the demon queen Ren Qingrui who almost killed her son, although every move and behavior is completely different.
In terms of identity, men and women are even different, but Chen Jie can't help but overlap their looks.
Young Master Liu had long noticed that something was wrong with the way Chen Jie looked at Ren Qingrui behind him from time to time. Although he intentionally or unintentionally stood between the two of them, he did not do anything too unusual.
After all, the weirder some behaviors are, the more likely they are to make people think wildly.
"Ah! Dad, mother, aunts, you are also here to attend the lantern festival? Yue'er thought you were bored at home admiring the moon!"
Hearing the little cutie’s surprised voice, everyone stopped and looked ahead.
Looking at the little cutie who seemed to have never seen him and others before, and looked surprised at the joy that greeted his group, Liu Mingzhi and the other beauties couldn't help but burst into laughter.
Young Master Liu looked at the Queen, and the Queen also looked at Young Master Liu.
The two of them said in unison.
“What a wonderful daughter you gave birth to!”
“What a wonderful daughter you doted on!”
Young Master Liu put away the folding fan and tapped the little cutie's forehead gently.
“You!”
“Dad, what are you doing with Yue’er? Is it because Yue’er didn’t go to pick you up? You didn’t say you were going out to enjoy the lanterns either!”
Young Master Liu looked at the little cutie with her big innocent eyes covering her head and didn't know what to say.
This girl, if I hadn't witnessed it with my own eyes just now, I would have thought that I had wrongly blamed her!
“Dad!”
“Mother!”
“Daddy!”
“Mother!”
“Mother.”
“Aunt…uncle. aunt.”
Liu Mingzhi heard the cowardly words and raised his eyes, and at a glance he saw Li Jingyao standing next to the eldest sisters Liu Yiyi, Liu Feifei, and the second child Liu Chengzhi, who was becoming more and more dignified and distinguished in temperament.
Looking at the nervous look of this girl looking at him, Mr. Liu glanced at He Shu, who was looking at him with a surprised and complicated look, and nodded happily in agreement.
“Hey, good boy, you came out too!”
“Well, Sister Yiyi and the others went to the house to call me.”
“From now on, when you are not busy, you can spend more time together and get close to each other. Do you still like the lantern festival? Those brothers and sisters didn’t bully you, right?
Especially for a brat like Chengzhi, if he dares to bully you, tell your uncle and he will make the decision for you."
“Dad, what are you talking about? How could I bully Jingyao!”
Hearing Liu Chengzhi’s words, Li Jingyao glanced at Liu Chengzhi with red cheeks and shook her head hastily.
"No, Cheng... Brother Chengfeng and the others can take care of Jingyao!"
"It's okay if you don't. No matter who they are, if they dare to shout at you in the future, you can complain to your uncle. I won't spare them."
With your uncle supporting you, don’t be afraid of anyone."
“Yes, Jingyao, thank you uncle.”
Looking at Li Jingyao's move to salute him, Young Master Liu hurriedly stepped forward and raised his hand to stop her.
“Don’t be a stranger, don’t be a stranger, we are all a family, there is no need to be so polite!”
When talking about the family, Liu Mingzhi glanced at He Shu, whose expression became unnatural, and kept smiling cheerfully.
He Shu glanced at Young Master Liu's back with a tangled expression, and then looked at his daughter standing next to Liu Chengzhi, as shy as a well-behaved and sensible little daughter-in-law. It was not clear that there was only fear between the two children.
Feelings are already extraordinary.
Not only did I have an unethical and ambiguous relationship with this man.
In addition to the engagement, his daughter actually fell in love with his son.
He Shu, who had complicated thoughts, sighed silently and murmured silently.
“What an injustice!”
“Why don’t you even have a lantern in your hand? Is it possible that this guy Chengzhi hasn’t figured out a single lantern riddle?”
After Young Master Liu finished speaking, he couldn't help but kick Liu Chengzhi on the butt.
“Little bastard, it’s like killing you when I ask you to study.
Now I'm fine, I can't even guess the lanterns, and I've eaten so much dry food in vain.
Is it a shame? Is it a shame?”
“Dad, it’s unfair. After sister Yue’er guessed the first lantern riddle, I didn’t even have a chance to guess it.”
There were two muffled bangs, and Young Master Liu gave the second son's butt another two kicks.
“You little bastard has turned against you and dared to talk back.
Take Jingyao immediately to find the lantern she likes. If you can’t guess it, don’t go home and get out!”
Liu Chengqian came over immediately: "Second brother, don't be afraid, we will help you, and we will definitely get it for sister Jingyao. Oh daddy, why are you kicking me? Can't I help second brother?"
Young Master Liu glared at Liu Chengqian, who was rubbing his butt in aggrieved manner, with a 'gloomy' look: "You show how capable you are, right? Do you eat a lot for dinner?"
Let him guess with Jingyao, this is the punishment for not studying well.
I can’t guess it. If you dare to go home, my legs will be broken.
Get out of here!”
“Get out!”
Liu Chengzhi watched his father turn his back on his mother and his aunts wink at him. He gradually came to his senses and nodded hurriedly.
“Yes, yes, yes, you must not guess it before you go home!”
