Young Master Liu accompanied his mother, Mrs. Liu, into the pavilion. After she sat down on the stone bench, she picked up the pot and poured a cup of tea.
"Mother, you drink tea first."
"Okay, first go and put up the paper kites for Yunxin, Zhengming, Shuang'er, Keke, Lianniang... their children."
"Hey, the kid will come back as soon as he goes."
"Yun'er, you sisters will accompany the old man and chat with your mother first, and your husband will be back soon.
By the way, if the old man and my mother are already hungry, you don’t need to wait for your husband to come back, you can just start eating."
"Sisters I know, please come over first."
"Dad, the wind is blowing in the garden now, please come here quickly."
"Dad, come quickly."
When Liu Yunxin and her sisters saw their father, he had not come out of the pavilion for a long time. He kept waving his palms and shouted again.
"coming."
Liu Mingzhi heard the shouts from the children outside the pavilion, and after responding loudly, he turned around and walked towards the children in the garden who were waving to him.
After Young Master Liu walked out of the pavilion, Qi Yun smiled brightly, picked up the bowls and chopsticks on the tray, and bent over to place them one by one towards the people sitting around the stone table.
"Father, mother, daughter-in-law and sisters, the dishes prepared by the chef are all home-cooked dishes from our Jiangnan water town. You can try them first.
If you two have any special dishes you want to eat, just ask your daughter-in-law and she will immediately ask the maid to tell the chef to make it."
Liu Zhi'an picked up the bowls and chopsticks that Qi Yun placed in front of him, smiled lightly and waved his hands.
"No, the food on the table is enough. You sisters are interested."
Mrs. Liu nodded in agreement with a kind face, stood up, picked up the wine bottle from the tray and put it on the table in front of Liu Zhian.
"Yun'er, you have your heart, and we, the old couple, understand your thoughts.
Your father is right, these home-cooked dishes on the table are enough, there is no need to prepare anything else, you should sit down quickly."
"Hey, as long as dad and mom are satisfied, that's fine."
After Qi Yun responded to Liu Zhi'an and his wife generously and gracefully, she walked elegantly to the seat under the main seat and sat down.
"Dad, mother, my husband just said that we don't have to wait for him. It's getting late. If you are feeling empty, just start eating."
Liu Zhi'an turned his head and glanced at Mr. Liu who had just released two paper kites in the garden. He smiled lightly and took a chopstick of beef with sauce and put it in his mouth.
"Then don't wait for him, let's eat first."
"Father, please, and mother, please, too."
Mrs. Liu nodded kindly, picked up her chopsticks and gestured: "Eat all, eat all."
After drinking tea, Mr. Liu walked into the pavilion with a flick of his wrist.
"Yo, I've eaten them all."
Qi Yun immediately picked up the chopsticks at hand, stood up and handed them to Liu Mingzhi's hands.
"Husband, sit down quickly."
"Okay, just do it yourself as husband."
After Liu Mingzhi took his seat at the head of the table, he turned sideways and looked in the direction of the flower bed filled with laughter and laughter.
"Lingyun, Yunxin, Zhengming, Shuang'er, Keke... If any of you are hungry, come over and eat by yourself. If you're not hungry, just keep playing."
"Dad, we are not hungry. Grandpa, grandma, mother, and aunts, you can eat first."
"Keke is not hungry either, daddy, you two go first...Sister Yunxin, please let go quickly, our kites are about to become entangled.
"Call Daddy, are you not hungry? You can eat."
"Dad, none of us are very hungry. We can just wait until it's dinner time and eat together."
Young Master Liu heard the responses from his children one after another, and he helplessly picked up a piece of sweet and sour fish with chopsticks and put it into his mouth.
"These children are really getting more and more playful. Yun Shu, Xiao Xi, Yao'er, you sisters must be disciplined and disciplined in the future."
Wenren Yunshu, Huyan Yunyao and the other sisters heard their husband's words and subconsciously looked towards the children who were playing in the garden.
Liu Zhi'an frowned and quickly glanced at his grandchildren and granddaughters in the garden. He picked up the jug and poured a glass of wine for Young Master Liu.
"What bullshit are you talking about? What's the discipline? What's there to discipline?
Isn't it normal for children to be playful? If they don't have any thoughts about playing, they are not children anymore.
The children are five, six, seven or eight years old. When they are teenagers, they should have fun. This is their nature. Do you have to be as old-fashioned as people of our age to be satisfied, right?
Especially after you took charge of the world, the imperial court issued a series of decrees. Only when boys and girls are seventeen or eighteen can they start a family, start a business, and get married.
At this time, they should be at an age full of childlike innocence. What happened to playing and having fun?
When you were twelve or thirteen years old, you would climb trees and dig out bird's nests with the boys from the Han family, the Qu family, the Lu family... and pee in the mud!
You were so shameless and shameless when you were a teenager, so what happened to them flying kites?
Oh! Only the father is allowed to set fires, but the children are not allowed to light lamps?"
"Hangchi."
"Pfft."
"Ahem."
"..."
When the Qi Yun sisters heard the words behind Liu Zhi'an, they coughed a few times with strange expressions on their faces, and instinctively glanced at Young Master Liu, who was holding a wine glass and the corner of his mouth was trembling.
Although Qi Ya, her sisters and others didn't say anything, their pretty faces showed some strange expressions.
It turns out that my husband was still so naughty and mischievous when he was a teenager. If he only climbed trees and dug out bird's nests, he still did it.
He even peeed and played with mud. Is this such a wild behavior?
When I get back, I have to ask him about his glorious deeds back then.
After Wenren Yunshu and the other sisters looked away, they were about to say something. When they heard the father-in-law's words, they also buried their heads and laughed a few times, and immediately swallowed the words that came to their lips.
If it were only his husband who said something, his sisters would definitely give an answer. However, now that his father-in-law has intervened, it would be inappropriate for his sisters to say anything.
There are some differences of opinion between my husband and my father-in-law, and they are not things that women like my sisters can get involved in.
However, although the sisters did not speak, they, like Qi Yun and others, secretly glanced at their husband, who had a somewhat stiff face.
"Cough cough cough cough cough"
Young Master Liu coughed heavily and motioned to Liu Zhi'an with the wine glass in his hand.
"Just have fun, just play casually.
The past is gone, the past has become a memory, there is nothing to talk about, just drink and drink."
Seeing Young Master Liu's embarrassed expression, Liu Zhi'an sneered a few times and responded by picking up the wine glass in his hand.
The father and son exchanged cups and cups while telling each other the anecdotes they had recently learned, adding a touch of warmth to the family dinner.
The next day, the sun rose about three poles.
Outside the gate of Liu Mansion, Mr. and Mrs. Liu and others looked at Liu Zhi'an and his wife who boarded the carriage one after another, looking melancholy and waving their palms.
Liu Zhi'an opened the curtain of the carriage, looked at Young Master Liu meaningfully and smiled.
"Bastard, if we talked last night, don't forget to think about it more when you are free.
As for the outcome, there is actually no need to care so much.
After all, although the planning of things depends on people, the success of things depends on heaven!”
Young Master Liu nodded silently and sighed with a sad expression on his face.
"I understand. You and your mother will take care of each other on your journey. You must take good care of your health. We, my husband, and the rest will not send you two away."
Mrs. Liu poked her head out at the right time and waved gracefully and kindly to Young Master Liu and his family.
"Zhi'er, Yun'er, you sisters, please go back."
"Sisters and daughters-in-law send their father and mother a happy farewell."
Liu Zhi'an nodded cheerfully and gently lowered the curtain on the car window.
"Liu Yuan, let's set off."
"Yes, sir, madam, please sit down."
"drive."
Under Liu Yuan's whip, the carriage gradually moved away from the gate of Liu Mansion.
Liu Mingzhi watched the carriage gradually disappear around the corner of the street, put his hands behind his back, turned and walked towards the mansion.
well.
Ask questions without looking at your heart.
Old man, these five seemingly simple words are so difficult.
