As soon as Mr. Liu's tea was brought to his mouth, he rushed out in a hurry and looked at the Hongzhao envoy who was galloping towards the palace gate with an expression of surprise.
The sound of horse hoofbeats came from far away and then gradually faded away. He thought it was a dandy boy from some family who drank too much and ignored the dragon's laws and galloped wildly in the city!
Just as he was about to mutter about how long it would take for the patrolling military guards to take this guy into custody at the Wuwei Yamen, he heard a few words from the envoy Hong Ling.
“Great victory in the Northland!”
“Great victory in the Northland!”
“Great victory in the Northland!”
Muttering three words about the great victory in the North, the smile on Liu Mingzhi’s face became even stronger.
Looking at the blue but slightly gloomy sky above his head, Liu Mingzhi breathed a sigh of relief, all of a sudden eliminating two of his worries. This year is really a great year!
Lifting up the tea cup and drinking down the warm tea in one gulp, Young Master Liu hunched over and walked towards the hut of Gua Tan.
Hong Ling Envoy, who has been rushing for 800 miles, just entered Beijing today, which means that it will take some time for Zhou Baoyu, Ye Baotong and other generals to escort the Western Turks and Tsarist Russian generals back to Beijing.
I had just come out of the palace, and I had already heard the news of the great victory in the North, so there was no need to go into the palace again now.
Song and Qing Dynasties will send someone to invite him to the palace later, and he can simply refuse by saying that he knows the news.
While Liu Mingzhi was deep in thought, a beautiful figure came in carrying a tray. It was none other than Ren Qingrui, who had left and returned again.
Looking at Young Master Liu who was reclining on the recliner and taking a nap, Ren Qingrui carefully placed the tray on the low table.
“Hey! Food!”
Young Master Liu quietly opened one eye and glanced at Ren Qingrui: "What have you prepared for today?"
“I don’t know how to read it myself!”
“Hey! You stinky girl, you have become more capable, haven’t you? I provide you with food, drink, and shelter, and yet you slapped me on the nose.
Don’t forget that you are my young master’s little book boy now. Is there any book boy who talks to his young master like this?”
Ren Qingrui snorted, picked up a piece of roasted sweet potato, tasted it slowly, and said vaguely: "Eat it if you like it! At worst, you can just drive me away."
You won’t let me live in your home, but I still don’t want to live there!
At worst, I will go to my sister Yun and live in my sister Yun’s house!”
“Sister Yun? You have a sister in the capital? Why have I never heard you mention it?”
“Hmm! Can’t it rhyme with the upper part and the lower part?”
"Grass!"
Young Master Liu uttered a famous saying, sat up straight, picked up the bowl and chopsticks facing him and took a look at the food on the tray.
Braised beef, duck neck in sauce, cold tofu, radish soup, and roasted sweet potatoes with rich aroma on the side plus a pot of fragrant and already heated bamboo leaf greens.
“It’s a luxury. It’s a luxury for two people to eat.”
Young Master Liu said it was extravagant, but his hands were not slow, he picked up the bowl and chopsticks and started eating.
Ren Qingrui had just eaten half of the roasted sweet potato in her hand, and Young Master Liu had already eaten half of the food and wine on the tray.
“Did you...did you see it just now?”
Young Master Liu made a move, raised his brows and glanced at Ren Qingrui, who had shy brows and evasive eyes, and vaguely understood what she meant by her question.
For this little girl who was still a young girl, Liu Dashao naturally would not tease her without any bottom line. He could only pretend to be stupid and look at Ren Qingrui blankly.
“Ah? What did you see? What did you see? Did you talk about today’s meal?
It was well prepared and very much to my taste!”
“No...no, my sister told me...about the book!”
“What’s wrong with the books? It’s good to read more! I’m not busy here. Isn’t it normal for you to read poems and books to pass the time when you are bored?”
Glancing at Young Master Liu's blank expression, Ren Qingrui's heart suddenly relaxed, she silently held the sweet potato in her hand and chewed it slowly, without answering any more.
Liu Dashu saw the situation and stopped talking. While eating the food and wine, he glanced at Ren Qingrui from time to time.
I secretly thought that this girl was becoming more and more charming. Even if she was dressed like a book girl wearing ordinary clothes, she still gave people a sense of beauty.
Compared with the childish and youthful look he had when he was in the Yingzhou Prince's Mansion in Northern Xinjiang, the current Ren Qingrui is simply incomparable!
Every frown, every smile, every move has a heart-thumping feeling.
such a pity!
Still a bit too dry.
Although she is as beautiful as the Queen, she is still an untouched little girl after all, so she does not have the same whims and whims as when she stays with Yun'er, Sister Ya, Wanyan... they are charming women.
idea.
I always feel a little unmoisturized.
If I had been surrounded by such a stunning young lady who was alluring the country when I was young in the first few years when I came to Dalong, I guess their children would have run away by now.
Now! I am getting older and mentally mature. It is unrealistic to say that I have no interest in films about young girls like Ren Qingrui.
But I don’t have too strong thoughts.
He still likes Sister Ya, Shan'er, Chen Jie, He Shu... there are more plump and charming women like them.
There aren’t many reasons, it’s just one word.
run!
Don’t ask how moist it is, ask how moist it is.
Although Young Master Liu only peeked a few times from time to time, with the two of them surrounding a small low table and such a distance, Young Master Liu peeked so many times that it was difficult for Qingrui not to notice.
Jiao Yan looked up at Liu Dashao with a red red eyes, Ren Qingrui hurriedly lowered Zhen's head, and the sweet and delicious roasted sweet potato in his hand now became tasteless.
Your heart is like a deer bumping around, beating incessantly. Has this rotten piece of wood finally realized its own beauty?
“You...why are you always staring at me?”
“Uh huh... Huh! Which one of your eyes saw me staring at you? If you have any eye problems, go see a doctor as soon as possible.”
Ren Qingrui’s pretty face froze, and her jade-like nails dug into the sweet potatoes uncontrollably. She glared at Young Master Liu angrily and looked outside the shed: “You, you obviously had it just now!”
“I’m here to see how long you can eat this sweet potato?
Otherwise, I’m sick! Let’s just leave the beautiful women walking around on the streets with their bulging fronts and backs, and look at you as a dry little book boy?”
"you"
“What are you doing? Hurry up and eat your food.
I said, today is already twenty-eight, and the Spring Festival will be in a month and a few days.
The years are ruthless, like a white horse passing by.
One month is fleeting, why don’t you hurry back home to reunite with your parents?
Isn’t it a good feeling for a person to live in a foreign country?
It’s too late to go back now. If you delay any longer, you won’t even be able to get a mouthful of hot soup for the New Year’s Eve dinner when you go back.”
Ren Qingrui’s delicate body sitting on the stool trembled slightly, her lips pressed tightly together and she fell silent.
After a moment, Ren Qingrui raised her eyes and glanced at Mr. Liu, then lowered her head and stared at the sweet potato in her hand.
“Are you driving me... driving me away?”
Liu Mingzhi felt Ren Qingrui's tender and pitiful eyes looking at him at that moment. He stared blankly at Ren Qingrui without saying a word, and a feeling of irritation suddenly arose in his heart.
This familiar scene is so similar to the scene when Lian'er was in Liu Mansion in Jiangnan more than ten years ago!
Placing the wine glass heavily on the table, Liu Mingzhi picked up his coat, stood up and walked towards the outside of the shed.
“I’m full. There are no customers today, so let’s close the stall in advance!
This young master is going to take a walk outside the city!"
“Brother Liu!”
Liu Mingzhi paused in his steps and silently tied the cloak on his body.
“Girl, you are only twenty years old at best this year, and my eldest brother is about to be forty.
There are some things that are destined but not destined.
Go back early and rest!
The capital is not a place for you to stay for a long time after all.”
