Liu Mingzhi watched as the figures of Song Yu and the others disappeared under the arch, then turned and walked into the study.
"Brother, please wait a moment."
Hearing this, Song Qing nodded without hesitation.
"good."
After Liu Mingzhi walked into the study, he walked unhurriedly to the bookshelf a few steps away and reached out to rummage on the bookshelf.
After a while, Mr. Liu took down two books from a pile of books on the far left side of the second floor of the bookshelf and held them in his hands.
Young Master Liu looked at the two books without any signatures in his hands, lowered his head and gently blew the light dust on the edges of the covers.
With his fingers dipped in the saliva on his lips, Young Master Liu casually flipped through the contents of the two books.
After a while, Young Master Liu put one of the books back to its original place, then turned and walked towards the door.
Song Qing was quietly watching the scenery in the courtyard. Hearing the footsteps behind him, he instinctively turned around and looked over.
"Third brother, you're out."
Liu Mingzhi smiled lightly and nodded, then raised his hand and handed the blank book in front of his eldest brother Song Qing.
"Brother."
When Song Qing saw the book that Young Master Liu handed to him, a faint look of doubt flashed in his eyes.
"Third brother, what is this book?"
"Brother, this is a book I wrote in my spare time. The content in the book is my insights from leading the army for many years, as well as some of the tactics of using the army that I have summarized myself.
Ever since I wrote this book, I have placed it on my bookshelf.
This is the first time I have found it in so many years, and it has been gathering dust for many years.
There is no use keeping this book here with your brother. Take it and rush to the New Army camp, hand it into the hands of this guy in Dingbang, and ask him to copy it and study it carefully.
As for whether he can gain something from it, it all depends on this kid's own talent."
When Song Qing heard Young Master Liu's explanation, the surprise in his eyes flashed away, and he nodded silently to Young Master Liu. Song Qing took the book and carefully put it into his arms.
"Okay, Brother Wei understands. Brother Wei must personally hand this book into the hands of this guy from Dingbang."
"Tell this boy, don't let me break it. After he copies it, I will take it back!
This book is one of the few that my young master has written with great care, and it has great commemorative significance. I don’t want my hard work to be ruined.”
"Okay, don't worry, I will give this boy a good warning for my brotherhood."
"Well, big brother, please do the work. I can rest assured, brother."
"Third brother, besides this, is there anything else?"
"No, it's still early, and it's not time to eat yet, so I won't leave you, eldest brother, to have dinner at my house.
After we have finished handling the matters concerning the expedition of 100,000 new troops, and are completely relaxed, let’s call Lao Jia and the others, and then we can go to Tianxiang Tower to sit down together.”
Song Qing grinned and hugged Young Master Liu with a smile on his face.
"Once it's settled, I'll take my leave first, brother."
"Go slowly and don't see me off."
Song Qing didn't do any ink, put down his hands, turned around and walked straight out of the courtyard of the study.
Liu Mingzhi looked at Song Qing's back walking away with high strides, and sighed with a complicated expression.
Big brother, it’s not that I don’t understand your kindness, but it’s that I can’t do anything about it!
Now that my brother and I have reached this age, I have to think about the children below. The position of the crown prince has not yet been decided. Brother, I really can't let veteran generals like you get involved in the new army.
Brothers, these are the troops I leave to my successors. If you veteran generals get involved, the children below will be in trouble in the future.
For the sake of the stability of the world, I hope you can understand my painstaking efforts, brother.
Liu Mingzhi muttered to himself for a while, reached out and locked the door of the study, and hurried towards the garden in the inner courtyard with light steps.
Young Master Liu had just arrived in the garden. Liu Lingyun, who was holding an exquisite paper kite in her hand, was smiling and skipping towards Young Master Liu.
"Dad, you've finished your business."
Seeing Liu Lingyun in a goose-yellow gauze skirt, Liu Mingzhi smiled and nodded in response.
"Hey, you're done with your work, dear daughter, you're back from flying the kite."
"Yeah, yeah, it's almost lunch, we'll be back."
"You're so good. Why are you alone? Where are Zhenghao, Yunxin, Lianniang and the others?"
"Replying to Dad, Sister Yunxin and the others are arranging the strings of their paper kites in the martial arts field in the front yard. Lingyun is a little thirsty, so she went back to the inner yard to find some herbal tea to drink!
Dad, come back here after Lingyun has quenched her thirst. Can we play kites at home? You haven’t played kites with us for a long time."
Young Master Liu looked at his good daughter's expectant eyes and agreed to her request without hesitation.
"Okay, okay, then you go and quench your thirst first, daddy is waiting for you to come back."
Liu Lingyun had a pretty face that was 60 to 70% similar to her mother Qi Ya's. She was immediately delighted. She stuffed the exquisite paper kite into her father's hand and ran happily toward her boudoir.
And go.
"Girl, wait a minute."
Liu Lingyun, who was walking cheerfully, suddenly stopped suddenly, and turned around with a puzzled face to look at Mr. Liu who was standing on the steps of the pavilion.
"Dad, what's wrong?"
"Girl, don't forget to inform your grandparents, mother and aunts, and ask them to come over to the pavilion.
It's been a long time since we, the whole family, sat down and chatted together. Today, I'm taking advantage of my father's free time to have a good chat while flying kites."
"Hey, Lingyun knows about it. After I drank tea, I went to inform my grandparents, mother and aunt.
Daddy, please take a rest in the pavilion first, Lingyun will pass first."
Liu Lingyun quickened her pace while waving her jade-like white hands.
Looking at the graceful and flexible figure of his good daughter Liu Lingyun, a hint of surprise flashed through Young Master Liu's eyes.
"On the fourth level of Yingfeng Tashixue, Lingyun, this girl's martial arts talent is extraordinary. She has actually mastered the Qinggong mental techniques taught to her by Sister Ya to this level."
Young Master Liu murmured a few words softly with a surprised look on his face, and then chuckled with relief in his eyes.
That's fine, the higher this girl's martial arts talent is, the higher her ability to protect herself will be. At least it will make her less distracted.
Liu Mingzhi waited until the beautiful figure of his good daughter disappeared around the corner of the corridor, then raised his hand to feel the wind direction in the garden.
Young Master Liu felt the direction of the wind and suddenly jumped up, landing gracefully on the glazed tiles of the pavilion, lowering his head and playing with the butterfly paper kite in his hand.
About half a cup of tea later, Young Master Liu raised his head and looked up at the butterfly paper kite flying high in the sky with a smile. He pulled the string of the paper kite and flew lightly towards the ground.
After tying the paper kite string in his hand to the imperial pillar, Young Master Liu sat on the stone bench and casually took out the jade fan from his waist.
Gently fanning the cool breeze, Young Master Liu fell asleep while squinting his eyes while humming a tune that was extremely popular in the capital.
After about half a stick of incense had passed, Liu Mingzhi vaguely heard footsteps coming from behind him, and silently opened his eyes and looked behind him.
"Hey, old man, you were the first to arrive. Your health is still okay.
You are so old and strong, why don't you discuss with my mother and try to give birth to a younger brother or sister for me."
