"Of course, brother, I'm not a fool, so how can I not understand what you want, girl?"
Ren Qingrui gently turned the teacup in his hand and looked nervously at Mr. Liu, who had a complicated expression?
"Da Guoguo, my sister knows.
Since you understand everything, girl, I won’t waste my time.
So Da Guoguo, what are you going to do...how..."
Ren Qingrui didn't finish her words, but what she wanted to express was already self-evident.
Liu Mingzhi looked at Ren Qingrui's expectant and nervous eyes, sighed guiltily, raised the teacup in his hand and moved it to his mouth.
It seems that the herbal tea in the cup is regarded as a wine that can relieve sorrow.
Ren Qingrui saw Liu Mingzhi just drinking tea silently, but did not answer his own questions. A look of disappointment flashed in his bright eyes.
With a silent sigh, Ren Qingrui pressed her delicate lips hard.
"Big fruit fruit."
"Um?"
"How many days can you stay in Shu to accompany your sister?"
Liu Mingzhi put down the tea cup in his hand and casually took off the wine bag from his waist.
"Not counting today, it will take about two days."
"Only, only two days?"
"Girl, I can only say that the timing for the two of us to meet again is really not a coincidence.
If it were placed on some other days, for my brother, I stayed in Shu with you for ten days and a half, it would be nothing at all.
But that’s not the case these days. There are some things in the capital that I must handle personally when I go back."
Ren Qingrui was silent for a moment, raised her arm and snatched the wine bag from Young Master Liu's hand.
After taking a few sips of wine, Ren Qingrui bit her lips tightly and stared at Young Master Liu's helpless expression.
"Are you going...are you going back to deal with the matter about Sister Hoshino that you told me about?"
Liu Mingzhi sighed heavily, gently shook the jade fan in his hand, looked at Ren Qingrui's somewhat sad pretty face and said softly: "Girl, if it's just a matter of Xingye, for brother, I don't need to rush back at all.
.
Brother, the reason why I am in a hurry to return to Beijing is to deal with some more important matters than Hoshino."
"Da Guoguo, can I take the liberty to ask, sister, what is the important event?
Sister, when I ask this, I don’t want to find out anything from you, Da Guoguo. I just want a reason that can convince me.
A reason for me to feel at ease."
Liu Mingzhi's movement of gently shaking the folding fan suddenly stopped, and he frowned slightly in silence for a long time, then watched Ren Qingrui say two words loudly.
"military."
When Ren Qingrui heard the answer that Young Master Liu told him, he immediately smiled, revealing a few white teeth like broken jade.
"Well, my sister understands.
Daguoguo, your answer convinced my sister.
In fact, sister just wants to know whether my status in your mind is not as good as other women.
Hearing you say that, sister, I feel satisfied."
"Girl, the answer I told you is not to comfort you, but it is true.
I am anxious to return to Beijing to deal with some military issues."
Ren Qingrui raised her jade neck and took a few gulps of wine, raised her hand to wipe the wine from the corners of her lips, and nodded her head several times.
"Yeah, yeah, sister knows how to tell.
Daguoguo, if you can explain it to me again so seriously, sister, I will be even happier.
Sister, I know who you are and you won’t talk nonsense about such an important matter.”
"real?"
"Of course it's true. Sister, don't you know what my personality is?"
Ren Qingrui shook the wine bag in his hand a few times, stood up from the bamboo chair and stretched.
"Daguoguo, are you hungry now?"
"It's okay, I'm not particularly hungry."
"Sister, I'm just like you, I'm not particularly hungry either.
However, life here in my home is different from life in your home.
We have meals and other things, but no one helps us prepare them in advance, so we have to do everything by ourselves.
Preparing ingredients for cooking, cleaning the stove in the kitchen, preparing some dishes, and other trivial matters take a lot of time.
After everything was settled, it was almost time to have dinner.
Daguoguo, you take a rest for a while, sister, I will go to the kitchen to prepare.
We haven’t seen each other for more than a year. Sister, my cooking skills have improved a lot compared to when I lived in your house!
Today, let me show you my skills, sister."
Liu Mingzhi glanced sideways at the sky outside the house, stood up and stretched.
"Brother Wei is not tired at all. Brother Wei is going to help you."
Ren Qingrui'e raised her eyebrows and threw the wine bag in her hand towards Young Master Liu with a smile.
"Is it appropriate? You are my guest, sister."
Young Master Liu casually hung the wine bag on his waist and waved sideways.
"Miss Ren, please!"
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, for the sake of Da Guoguo's sincerity, I will no longer be polite to you, sister."
Ren Qingrui teased Young Master Liu and walked out of the room with light steps.
"Big fruit fruit."
"Here, tell me what you have to say."
"You go around the yard for a while, sister, I'll go prepare the ingredients for our dinner first.
I'll call you later when I need your help."
"Okay, you go and do your work first."
"I got it, Daguoguo, if you're bored wandering around the yard, go ahead and tease the big fat ones."
"go Go."
Ren Qingrui shrugged her shoulders a few times with a smile on her face, rolled up her sleeves and walked towards the kitchen next to the main room.
"That's right, girl."
"How's it going?"
"Do you need Brother Wei to help you chop wood?"
"It's been done a long time ago, Sarah. Just stay here. If you need anything, sister, I will naturally call on you."
While responding to Young Master Liu, Ren Qingrui took off an apron from the kitchen wall and tied it around her body.
Liu Mingzhi looked at Ren Qingrui's busy figure in the kitchen, and started to wander around the courtyard with curiosity.
"Woof woof woof..."
Several pastoral dogs outside the tile house suddenly stood up and howled when they saw Mr. Liu wandering around in the courtyard.
The other two tigers and two dumplings also looked at Mr. Liu and kept shaking their heads.
Liu Mingzhi turned around and looked at the group of pets wagging their heads at him, and shook his head helplessly.
"Dahei, you guys should just stay here quietly.
Without your sister's order, I would not dare to untie your chains at will."
Liu Mingzhi didn't care that Dahei and the others still couldn't understand his words, he shook the jade fan in his hand and walked happily out of the courtyard.
After walking out of the small fenced courtyard, Mr. Liu looked around the courtyard with great interest.
I saw more than a dozen leafy apricot trees planted on the hillside on the left side of the courtyard.
It's a pity that it's already September, and apart from the branches and leaves, there are no fruits at all on the almond trees.
Next to more than a dozen apricot trees, there is a medium-sized fence, and inside the fence is a thatched house built with bamboo as the main body.
From time to time, the sounds of chickens, ducks and geese came from inside the fence.
Liu Mingzhi heard the movement coming from the fence and walked towards the apricot forest not far away with a curious expression.
"This girl not only keeps pets, she also keeps a lot of poultry."
Sure enough, as soon as Young Master Liu walked outside the fence, he saw a group of poultry inside the fence.
When Liu Mingzhi leaned into the fence to observe, a large group of poultry immediately rushed towards the corner.
Liu Mingzhi grabbed a handful of chopped wild vegetables from the bamboo basket hanging on the fence, and happily threw them towards the three clearly separated fences.
"What are you afraid of? I can still eat you, right?"
A group of poultry couldn't understand the meaning of Mr. Liu's words. When they saw the wild vegetables he scattered on the ground, they immediately surrounded him.
Seeing this, Liu Mingzhi closed his jade fan with a relaxed expression and pinned it to his waist. He picked up a handful of wild vegetables with both hands and sprinkled them into several separated fences.
"Eat, eat well.
I’m not bragging to you, if you can let me feed you personally, you will have lived your life in vain.”
Liu Mingzhi scattered several handfuls of chopped wild vegetables and started walking around the small worship courtyard with a sigh of relief.
Sitting on the vegetable garden next to the apricot grove, Liu Mingzhi looked at the busy figure in the kitchen with a mixture of emotion and complex expression.
"Hahaha, this is life!
This is the life in the world that should be the most enviable."
After a while, Liu Mingzhi held a dry pipe in his hand and blew out a puff of smoke with a sad expression.
"Oh, I'm tired!
If possible, I really don't want to go back to that exhausting palace again.
There are no intrigues, no intrigues, no endless memorials, and no endless court meetings.
This kind of life is the life that I, Liu Mingzhi, really want.
Picking chrysanthemums under the eastern fence, you can leisurely see Nanshan Mountain.
