Liu Mingzhi stopped in the courtyard and waited until Suzaku's figure gradually blended into the night, then turned around and walked quickly towards the study.
"Yun'er, Lian'er, my husband is back."
"Husband, has the letter to little sister Xuan'er been circulated?"
Liu Mingzhi nodded lightly, walked to the table and sat down on the chair.
Although Qinglian was in a low mood, after seeing her husband sit down, she still picked up the teapot and poured Liu Ming a cup of tea.
"Husband, drink a cup of herbal tea to calm down."
"good."
Liu Mingzhi took a sip of tea and looked up at his eldest son Liu Chengfeng, who was standing next to the desk.
"Chengfeng, are you done with the letters?"
"In reply to what Dad said, all the letters have been baked with wax."
"Well, you can sit down too."
"Yes, my child obeys."
"Lian'er."
"I am here."
"My husband has arranged all the things that need to be arranged, so you can feel a little more at ease.
My husband also understands in his heart that grandma has been a great supporter of you. Now it is impossible for you not to worry about grandma's condition at all.
As the saying goes, the kindness of upbringing is greater than the kindness of heaven.
Grandma, she is very kind to you, Lian'er. It is natural for you to be concerned about the news that she is seriously ill.
However, no matter what, I hope you won't think too much.
Don't be too stressed.
Don't let it happen that you fall ill again because of excessive sadness before you can see your grandma.
If something like this happens, your husband will feel distressed, and so will your sisters and children.
Especially my grandma, if she knows that you fell ill because of her.
I will definitely feel distressed and blame myself.
So, husband, I hope you can relax.
It's okay to worry, but don't put too much pressure on yourself.
No matter what happens, Weihu, Yun'er, the sisters, and the children below will be with you.
We are a family, no matter what kind of difficulties we encounter, we should stay together through thick and thin.
My husband doesn’t want me to put all the pressure on myself.
In that case, my husband will feel distressed.
Lian'er, do you understand?"
Qinglian felt her husband's caring eyes looking at her, and the depression in her heart eased slightly.
She wiped away the tears from her red eyes with her fingers, pursed her red lips and nodded silently to Liu Mingzhi.
"Well, I know, I know.
Husband, don’t worry, I will definitely take good care of my body.”
What Liu Mingzhi is most worried about now is that Qinglian will have some physical problems due to her excessive sadness.
Now that she sees Qinglian taking her explanation into consideration, the pressure in her heart can't help but ease a little.
"That's good, that's good."
"Husband, when will we rush back to Shu?"
"My husband was just about to tell you about this matter, Lian'er."
"Okay, husband, please tell me."
"Lian'er, my husband knows very well that you must be eager to rush back to Miao territory to visit your mother.
Now even if your husband asks you to go back to rest, you will definitely toss and turn and not be able to sleep.
Since this is the case, I won’t advise you anymore. I will set off tonight and rush to the Miao border day and night."
Qinglian suddenly stood up, her beautiful eyes full of sadness flashed with excitement.
"I am just like my husband, as you think."
"Lian'er, no matter how anxious you are, you have to do it step by step.
Please be patient and don't be impatient. Can you please listen to what my husband has to say first?"
"Yes, I have lost my composure."
"Lian'er, my grandma is your grandma, and also your husband's grandma. She is also the grandma of Yun'er and all the sisters.
She is in ill health, and we are all very worried.
But it is unrealistic for our whole family to travel day and night to visit my grandma in Miaojiang.
Yun'er, Sister Ya, to put it mildly, Shan'er and the others are martial arts practitioners. They can leap on horseback and whip their whips, and it's not a problem to go to Miao territory with you day and night.
But Yan'er, Yao'er, Bizhu, Lingyi, Bizhu, Rongrong and other sisters can't do it.
Although they have also practiced internal skills and mental techniques over the years, they are still just laymen when it comes to martial arts.
Let them gallop and accompany you on the long journey to Miao territory.
The bodies of their sisters simply couldn't bear this kind of jolt.
Therefore, my husband's idea is that Yun'er, Qingshi, Wei'er, you sisters who have been practicing martial arts since childhood, will accompany Lian'er to the Miao border to visit her mother.
As for Yan'er, Lingyi and your sisters, you continue to stay in the capital.
If you sisters have anything to say to your grandma, please directly tell Lian'er, Yun'er and the rest of the sisters.
Just ask them to help you pass it on to your grandma.
I believe that my grandma will understand your difficulties.
Of course, if you really want to go, take a carriage to Miao territory behind Lian'er and the others.
It's not a problem to see my grandma and her elderly family some time in the evening.
Now that I’ve finished talking about my husband’s thoughts, what about your sisters’ thoughts?”
Qi Yun, the Queen, Murong Shan and the other sisters looked at each other and nodded without hesitation.
"There is nothing wrong with me. We sisters will obey our husband's arrangements."
Liu Mingzhi nodded slightly and shifted his gaze to the three princesses, Gumo Rongrong, sisters Yun Xiaoxi and other beauties.
"Yan'er, Xiaoxi, Lingyi, what do you sisters plan to do?
Should we stay in the capital, or take a carriage to the Miao territory?"
The three princesses and the other beauties looked at each other, were silent for a moment, and all looked at Liu Mingzhi.
"Husband, as you just said, sister Lian'er's mother-in-law is the mother-in-law of our husband and wife. She is ill. How can I, my sister, not pay a visit?
I decided to take a carriage and follow Sister Lian'er and the others to Miao territory."
"I second my opinion. My mother has been living alone in the palace compound for these years. My sisters also accompany me to the palace from time to time to pay my respects to my mother and her elders.
The sisters regard my mother and queen as a family, and I will naturally regard all the sisters’ families as a family.
Sister Concubine is the good sister of Sister Lian'er, and also the younger generation of her grandmother.
Even if we can't go with Sister Lian'er and the others, we have to go."
"I second the proposal."
"I'm going too."
"So is I."
All the beauties looked at Liu Mingzhi with firm expressions, and they expressed their decisions word by word.
Liu Mingzhi frowned slightly and pondered for a moment, then glanced at the beauties and nodded silently.
"That's all, since you have made up your mind, I will respect your thoughts.
Let’s go together, let’s go together.”
When all the beauties heard Liu Mingzhi's words, they all let out a long sigh of relief.
The sisters naturally understand that their husband's thoughts are also for their bodies.
However, my sisters and others have been getting along with each other for almost twenty years in the long term and five or six years in the short term.
Deep feelings have already been gathered.
In this case, being physically tired is nothing.
"Thank you, husband."
Liu Mingzhi looked at the soothing expressions of the beauties, feeling both distressed and relieved in his heart.
As a man, I can see such harmony between wives and concubines, such mutual trust and love.
This life -
What else is there to regret?
"Yiyi, Feifei."
"Dad, the baby is here."
"You two sisters have followed your mother since you were young, and your aunts and sisters practiced martial arts to strengthen your body.
This time you are rushing to visit your grandma in Miao territory, so you two can ride horses together with your mother and several aunts."
Sisters Liu Feifei nodded without hesitation and said in unison: "Yes, I will obey my orders."
As soon as the two sisters Liu Yiyi finished speaking, Liu Chengfeng couldn't wait to look at his father.
"Dad, where is the child? What should I do with the child?"
Liu Mingzhi lowered his head and took a sip of tea, then raised his head and looked at his eldest son Liu Chengfeng.
"My father originally wanted you to go to Miao territory with your mother and aunts, but now the plan has to be changed."
"Huh? The kid is confused."
"You also heard the content of my father's conversation with your mother and your aunts just now.
At first, what my father wanted was for you, Aunt Yan'er, and Aunt Lingyi to stay in the capital.
Later you also heard that they planned to follow your mother in a carriage to the Miao border.
Since their sisters are also going to Miaojiang, let this girl Serena also rush to Miaojiang to pay homage to your grandmother.
Serena, after you two got married, your grandmother only learned about your marriage and children from the family letter your mother gave her.
But I have never seen what my niece-in-law looks like!
This time, it was just a good time for her to see what her nephew-in-law looked like.
And your son Chenyu has not met his great-grandmother yet.
Take him with you to make your grandma happy too.
Maybe your grandma will be happy to see your great-nephew, and her health will get better!"
Liu Chengfeng nodded clearly: "Dad, what do you mean by letting the child take Serena and Chenyu, and set off with Aunt Yan, Aunt Lingyi and the others?"
"Yes, Serena is also not familiar with martial arts, and Chenyu is still young.
As a husband and father, you naturally have to take care of the food, clothing, housing and transportation of their mother and son on the road."
"Dad, I understand what you mean, but..."
"But what?"
"But I want to rush to Miao territory with my mother, Aunt Yun, eldest sister, and second sister to meet my grandma and her family as soon as possible."
"What about Serena?"
"Dad, don't worry, my wife's kid will convince her.
Serena is a reasonable woman and she will agree with her child's decision."
As Liu Chengfeng spoke, he stood up and bowed to the three princesses and sisters.
"Aunts, my wife and son can help you, the elders, to take care of me."
"this……"
The three princesses and sisters looked at Liu Chengfeng who was saluting their sisters, and looked at their husbands with hesitant expressions.
The sisters are not dissatisfied with Liu Chengfeng or Serena mother and son.
But Liu Mingzhi had just said something before them, and they didn't know what their husbands were thinking.
Therefore, it was naturally not easy to rashly agree to the request of Liu Chengfeng, the eldest son.
"Husband?"
"Husband, what do you think?"
"Husband, why don't you just do what Chengfeng said."
Liu Mingzhi was silent for a moment, then looked at his eldest son Liu Chengfeng's expectant eyes and nodded gently.
"As long as Serena doesn't have any objections, you can set off with your mother and the others."
"Yes, thank you dad."
"I've pretty much said what I should say as a father. You should go back and discuss it with Serena first.
If the negotiation is successful, pack your bags and prepare to set off immediately."
"My child knows, my child will leave first."
"Go ahead."
"Mother, dear aunts, please leave first."
"Hey, go quickly."
"Feng'er, remember to discuss this with Serena politely."
"My child knows."
After Liu Chengfeng's footsteps faded away, Liu Mingzhi turned the tea cup in his hand silently and looked at Qinglian with a complicated expression.
"Lian'er."
"Sir, please tell me."
Liu Mingzhi paused for a moment and raised his hand to signal to Qi Yun and the other sisters.
"Yun'er, Sister Ya, Wanyan, you sisters should go back and pack your luggage first.
Yan'er, Lingyi, you sisters, please pack up in advance and go to the ceremony.
By the way, you sisters are riding in a carriage, so don’t forget to prepare some specialties from the capital city and good things donated by various prefectures for your grandma to take there."
"Yes, I understand, my sisters, I will resign first."
"Yiyi, Feifei, you sisters should also go back and pack your gifts."
"Yes, sisters, please leave first."
Qi Yun, the other beauties, and Liu Yiyi's sisters stood up, bowed, and retreated out of the study together.
Lean less.
Liu Mingzhi, Qinglian and his wife were the only ones left in the study.
After Qi Yun and others left the study, Qinglian stood up and walked to the door and closed it.
Then, Qinglian walked towards Liu Mingzhi with gentle steps, and sat down beside her husband with a slightly questioning look on her face.
"Husband, do you have anything to tell me?"
Liu Mingzhi took the tea and brought it to his mouth. After drinking all the tea in the cup, he nodded to the beauty with a guilty look on his face.
"Lian'er, my husband cannot accompany you to the Miao territory tonight."
Qinglian looked at the guilty look on her husband's face and didn't ask why, she just nodded her head gently.
"It doesn't matter, we have been married for more than 20 years, and I know what kind of person you are, husband.
You can't rush to Miao territory with me, there must be more important things to deal with."
"Lian'er, as my husband..."
Qinglian stretched out her jade hand and covered Liu Mingzhi's lips. Although she was in a low mood, she still firmly raised a smile to the man who would stay with her for life.
"Husband, you are no longer the eldest young master of the Liu family, nor are you the minister of household affairs in the imperial court.
Not to mention the one-word king who oversees all military and political affairs of the twenty-seven prefectures in Northern Xinjiang.
Rather, the king of a country who controls hundreds of thousands of mountains and rivers in the world is the emperor.
No matter how important my mother's affairs are, they are not as important as the affairs of the world.
Although I am a member of the female class, I also know justice and know right from wrong.
Be clear about state affairs and family affairs.
Which one is heavier!
Finish the business first, I understand you.
I believe grandma will also understand you."
Liu Mingzhi took a deep breath, grabbed Jiaren Hao's wrist and gently patted the back of her hand a few times.
"Lian'er, after the cabinet finalizes the reward of troops and equipment, my husband will immediately rush to the Miao border to join you.
The matter of rewarding troops and equipment is not just as simple as rewarding troops and equipment. There are too many things involved later.
My husband has to carefully plan one or two things.
Lian'er, thank you for understanding my husband's difficulties."
"Thank you? Have you forgotten what you just told me?"
"Yes, yes, my husband knows that I am wrong. My husband knows that I am wrong."
"That's right. I'll go back to clean up and bow first."
