Chapter four hundred and seventy-third the friendship of gentlemen
Young Master Liu couldn't help but froze for a moment when he heard this. After he reacted, he suddenly stood up like a cat whose tail had been stepped on.
"Are you kidding me? I know it's nonsense. It's just a bunch of nonsense."
Li Ye saw his uncle's seemingly furious expression, and a look of astonishment flashed in his eyes. Liu Mingzhi's reaction was somewhat beyond his expectation.
What a beautiful woman the real Ren Qingrui is, and it’s not like he has never seen her before. It can be said that among the women he has seen in his life, there are few beauties who can compare with her.
Even among all the young women in the world, Ren Qingrui's appearance is definitely one of the best.
Let's not talk about the distance, let's just say that among the dozen or so aunts of mine, there are only a few who can surpass her in appearance. You can count them on your fingers.
For such a stunning young beauty, my uncle could not be more excited than he was, but why did he react like this?
It would not be a surprise if Liu Mingzhi was not excited about Li Ye. After all, there was Aunt Wanyan, a stunning beauty, who had already seen her before. There was really no need to be too excited.
However, even if he wasn't excited, he shouldn't have reacted like a tiger, right?
"Uncle, how can this be such a random match? Since ancient times, it is completely reasonable for a beauty to match a hero!"
Liu Mingzhi shook his sleeves heavily and rolled his eyes at Li Ye angrily.
"Uncle, how old am I this year? How old is Ren Qingrui, Ren Yatou? You just said that the two of us are a good match. Are you kidding me?
Since ancient times, it is completely reasonable for a beauty to match a hero. I think it is complete bullshit.
The two of us stand together. Even if I can't be her father, I am still her uncle. What do you mean by this? "
After listening to Mr. Liu's explanation, Li Ye suddenly realized why his uncle was so angry.
"That's it. Hey, what did you think it was? Uncle, is there anything surprising about an old man and a young wife?
Whenever a prominent family or a noble family in the capital marries an equal wife, which of the concubines they have will not be dozens of years younger than them?
Don't say it's just the capital city, isn't it true even if you look at the whole world?
It is common, if not common, for an old man in his fifties or sixties to take a young lady of seventeen or eighteen years old in the same room as his concubine.
This is true for people in their fifties and sixties, let alone middle-aged people in their thirties and forties.
Uncle, you are only in your early forties this year, which is at the peak of spring and autumn, and Miss Ren is only in her early twenties, which is the picturesque flowering years.
Based on a rough estimate of your age, the age difference between the two of you is only a dozen years.
Compared to those romantic affairs between a fifty-year-old man and an eighteen-year-old girl, what does the age of you two mean? What's wrong with you?
Let’s not talk about anyone else, let’s talk about the emperor’s grandfather. When he was forty years old, the child’s great aunt Lan Fei was only sixteen years old when she entered the palace.
There is an age difference of more than 20 years between the two elders, isn't it normal?
Did anyone say anything?
Therefore, my child does not think that what I just said was a random attempt to make things happen."
Liu Mingzhi looked at Li Ye who was talking eloquently and sighed with a complicated expression.
"You brat, if it weren't for you, my uncle and I would never have had a close relationship with Miss Ren. Even if we met by accident, it would be nothing more than a casual acquaintance.
Although my uncle later left her in the capital, the fundamental reason was also for you, kid.
After the state was stabilized, my uncle arranged for her to go to Laizhou in the East China Sea to look for you. I thought it would lead to a happy marriage, but I never thought that you two didn't even see eye to eye with each other.
To be honest, uncle, I never thought that you two people of the same age would be so incompatible with each other. In the end, we did not get together and ended up going our separate ways.
Such a result has to be said to be quite regrettable.”
"Alas, I appreciate my uncle's kindness, but during the time I spent with Miss Ren, there was really no way to overlap the two of them.
It's not like I haven't tried to mistake Miss Ren for her, but their personalities are quite different.
No matter how much the kid hinted to himself in those early days, he still couldn't convince himself to accept that Miss Ren was her business.
Miss Ren is a very considerate person. She is proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting, and has a little knowledge of astronomy and geography. During her time in Yanliu Village, she played the piano with her children, played chess, wrote essays, painted, and talked about the past and present of all things in the world.
Deeds make children’s lives extremely fulfilling.
The child can say without hesitation that Miss Ren is more perfect than her.
However, it is precisely because of this that the child has never been able to merge their figures together. Miss Ren is too perfect in terms of character and temperament, so perfect that the child has no way to find her shadow in Miss Ren.
Under such circumstances, how could the child treat the two of them as one person?
So at that time, the child understood that she was never her, and this was the fact. And the fact was the fact, and this was something that no one could change.
Moreover, Miss Ren herself said that the acquaintance and interaction between the two of us is more like a friendship between gentlemen."
Liu Mingzhi nodded clearly, leaned over and picked up the tobacco bag on the table and walked to the window.
"My uncle understands what you are thinking, but whether you two are destined or not is your own business, so why should you involve me in it?
Ye'er, uncle, they are content to have you and many aunts in this life, and they no longer expect any young and beautiful beauties to fall in love with them."
Li Ye nodded and pondered for a moment before laughing: "Uncle, what the child said just now is certainly not without purpose."
"Oh? I'd like to hear the details."
"Uncle, my child just said that when my child and Miss Ren lived together in Laizhou, East China Sea, she always accompanied my child to play chess, poetry and painting, and they spent their days leisurely chatting about everything. Their life was very uncomfortable.
However, many things Miss Ren said, 50% of them had something to do with you, uncle. Her words all revealed her admiration and admiration for you, uncle.
Compared with Miss Ren, a beautiful woman of the same age who has not yet left the court to become a wife, the child who has already been married can barely be regarded as a mature person.
From the look on her face, I can tell that she has more than just admiration for you, uncle.
For her age at that time, the attitude of a daughter's family was very much like that of a young girl embracing spring.
Maybe Miss Ren has already had a secret crush on you, uncle, but you just don’t know it yet."
Liu Mingzhi's action of filling the tobacco suddenly stopped, and an unnatural look flashed in his eyes.
"There is no evidence, it is just nonsense. The older you get, the more your words become more and more unreasonable. It seems that all the years you have read in Donghai have been in vain."
"Uncle Mingjian, what I said was what I saw with my own eyes. They are all justified and not made up at all."
Liu Mingzhi suddenly turned around without warning, staring at Li Ye who was standing a few steps away with sharp and deep eyes. There seemed to be a vague murderous intention in his eyes.
Li Ye felt the oppressive feeling emanating from Young Master Liu's body from the inside out, and he could not help but tremble a few times. He didn't know why his uncle's appearance suddenly changed.
"Aunt...uncle."
Liu Mingzhi's sharp eyes stared intently at the frightened Li Ye, and he slowly approached.
"So, the real reason why you don't accept Ren Qingrui is because you saw that she has feelings for me?"
Li Ye swallowed hard and shook his head hurriedly: "No, no, I can't accept that Miss Ren has nothing to do with this.
Uncle Mingjian, if my son doesn't accept Miss Ren for these reasons, why would he violate our previous agreement and come to Beijing to ask uncle for help? Can you help my son find her who doesn't know whether she's alive or dead?
My uncle also said just now that the child's behavior was just another joke with his own life.
Originally, the child's life and death were already decided by my uncle's thoughts. If I had other thoughts, how could I express these things to my uncle again?
My child speaks from the bottom of his heart, I hope my uncle can learn from it."
