Young Master Liu heard Liu Song's hurried shouting from behind him, and subconsciously turned around to look.
"Liu Song, what's wrong?"
Liu Song trotted quickly in front of everyone, and bowed to Young Master Liu with a heavy breath.
"Qichun... Young Master Qichun."
"Don't be anxious, speak slowly."
Liu Song reached out and patted his chest, raised his hand excitedly and pointed in the direction of the gate of Liu Mansion.
"Master Qi, Master and Madam, Master Qi and Mrs. Qi are here."
Liu Mingzhi looked stunned at first. After he realized what he was doing, he immediately turned around and looked in the direction of the mansion door with a look of surprise on his face.
"Liu Song, tell me again, who is here?"
"Back to the young master, here are the master and his wife, Qi Yuanwai and Mrs. Qi."
"When did you arrive?"
"Master, when I came to inform you, the four of you had just entered the house."
Young Master Liu nodded vigorously, tightened the cloak around his body, and hurried towards the front yard.
"Yun'er, we won't be going to enjoy the plum blossoms for the time being. Let's go first to greet the old man, mother, father-in-law and mother-in-law."
"Hey, I know it."
"Yes, my sisters know."
The three princesses, the queen and the other sisters also responded in unison and trotted after them.
"Willow Pine."
"The little one is here."
"Immediately go and notify Chengfeng, Chengqian, Yaoyao, Yue'er and other brothers and sisters, and ask them to rush to the front yard as soon as possible to greet them."
"Yes, I will obey, little one."
"Husband, what do you think the old man and the others think, and why do they come to the capital at this time?"
Liu Mingzhi turned to look at Qi Yun, who had a pretty and puzzled face, and shook his head with a frown.
"Yun'er, my husband also wants to know what's going on."
Qi Ya raised her eyes and looked towards the front yard, sighing slightly with a worried expression.
"Well, in this freezing weather, the four of them will probably suffer a lot on their way from Jinling to the capital."
Qi Yun heard her sister's worried tone and quickly nodded a few times.
"Sister, you are right. With the age and strength of the four of them, father and mother, it would be strange if they didn't suffer any hardships on the road.
Really, couldn’t you have written a letter in advance to inform me before coming?”
The tone of sisters Qi Ya and Qi Yun sounded as if they were complaining about Liu Zhi'an and the four of them, but in fact they were full of worry.
When Liu Mingzhi heard the word "write a letter" in Qi Yun's last sentence, he frowned slightly and turned to look at the beauty with a thoughtful look on his face.
He pondered thoughtfully for a moment, with a hint of understanding in his eyes.
I have roughly guessed the reason why the old man, father-in-law and the four of them suddenly rushed to the capital.
Qi Yun noticed her husband's gaze and looked at him in surprise.
"Husband, what's wrong with you? Why are you looking at me like this?"
Liu Mingzhi chuckled and shook his head, exhaling hot breath into his hands with a sad expression.
"Yun'er, ladies, as husband, I probably already know the reason why the old man, father-in-law and others came to the capital suddenly."
"Um?"
"Husband?"
"Husband, what have you thought of?"
"Husband, please tell me what the reason is?"
Liu Mingzhi looked at the surprised expressions of all the beauties and said cheerfully: "About ten days ago, when my husband was reviewing documents in the study, because of some things, I asked Liu Song to come over.
.
After he helped his husband handle the matters at hand, his husband asked him to send a letter to the old man.
The content of the letter was about Serena being pregnant again and Jingyao being about to give birth.
Now, you sisters should understand why the four of them suddenly came to the capital, right?"
When Qi Yun and the other sisters heard Liu Mingzhi's explanation, their pretty faces showed signs of understanding.
"So this is what it looks like!"
"No wonder, no wonder!"
"Is that what I'm talking about? How come they, who are so good, suddenly came to the capital."
"Husband, this letter of yours is not serious, but it has caused a lot of trouble to my father and my mother."
Liu Mingzhi shook his head helplessly: "As a husband, I never thought that after knowing these two things, the old man and the others would suddenly rush to the capital.
Besides, my husband didn’t mean to mess with them.
Serena is pregnant again, and Jingyao is about to give birth.
For our family, which of these two things is not a great joy?
You sisters, think about it for yourselves, for such a big happy event, how can I not write a letter to tell the old man and give them a kiss?
You sisters also know what kind of character our old man has.
If I don’t write to my husband and tell him, I will inevitably be scolded in the future.”
When Young Master Liu said the last sentence, his tone revealed a sense of helplessness.
When Qi Yun and the other sisters heard Young Master Liu's somewhat helpless tone, their expressions became strange.
For a time, some interesting scenes about the loving father and filial piety of Liu Zhi'an and Young Master Liu appeared before the eyes of all the beauties.
"That's true."
"Husband, if you say that, you should really write a letter to inform the old man and mother."
Liu Mingzhi and his wife were chatting and laughing, and unknowingly arrived at the exit of the garden.
However, when Mr. Liu and his wife were about to walk out of the garden.
Four figures walked into the garden first,
When Young Master Liu saw the four figures a dozen steps away in front of him, his face couldn't help but froze.
The identities of the four people are still self-evident.
Surprisingly, it was Liu Zhi'an, Mrs. Liu, Qi Run, Mrs. Qi and their four relatives.
Young Master Liu came to his senses and hurriedly rushed towards Liu Zhi'an and the four of them.
Qi Yun, her sisters and others also hurriedly followed.
Young Master Liu stopped and saluted Liu Zhi'an cheerfully.
"Old man, do you look in good spirits?
I think if I live for a few more years, it shouldn't be a problem."
Looking at Young Master Liu's playful smile, Liu Zhi'an rolled his eyes, groaned, lowered his head and exhaled hot breath into his palms.
"Hmph, I'm fine. I don't need to worry about you, you bastard."
Young Master Liu didn't care at all about his old man's curse words.
After he stood up, he saluted Mrs. Liu again with a smile on his face.
"My son, Liu Mingzhi, pays homage to my mother."
"Okay, okay, no gifts, no gifts soon."
"My dear, thank you, mother."
"Sisters and daughters-in-law, please meet your father and mother."
"My daughter Ren Qingxin, see Uncle Liu and Aunt Liu."
Liu Zhi'an didn't have a good face towards Young Master Liu, and naturally he wouldn't be like this towards his daughters-in-law.
However, when he saw Ren Qingxin standing behind Qi Yun, the Queen and the other sisters, a hint of undetectable surprise flashed deep in his eyes.
Liu Zhi'an gently stroked the beard above his chin, glanced at Young Master Liu vaguely, and his eyes gradually calmed down.
He tightened the cloak around him and held up his hands cheerfully.
"No gifts, no gifts at all."
Mrs. Liu looked at the daughters-in-law with kind eyes, smiled and shook her head kindly.
"Okay, okay, kids, no gifts."
"Thank you daddy, thank you mommy."
Liu Mingzhi straightened his clothes, smiled and bowed to Qi Run and his wife.
"My son-in-law, Liu Mingzhi, pays homage to my father-in-law, and pays homage to my mother-in-law."
"A daughter pays homage to her father, and pays homage to her mother."
"The little sisters pay homage to their uncle, and pay homage to their aunt."
"My little daughter Ren Qingxin, see your uncle, see your aunt."
"No gifts, no gifts."
"No gifts, no gifts soon."
"Thank you, father-in-law, mother-in-law."
"Thank you daddy, thank you mommy."
"Thank you uncle, thank you auntie."
Qi Yun straightened up Liu's waist and walked to Young Master Liu's side with a smile.
"Sir, let's not stand here any longer.
My father and mother must have been very hard on the journey.
You first invite them to sit in the main hall for a while, and I will prepare tea and cakes."
"Okay, my husband knows, you can go and do your work first."
"Hey, I'll come back as soon as I go."
When Liu Zhi'an saw Qi Yun about to turn around and leave, he immediately raised his hand to signal.
"Yun girl."
Qi Yun immediately stopped and looked at Liu Zhi'an with a puzzled expression.
"Dad, do you have any other instructions?"
Liu Zhi'an raised his hands and moved his body, casually took out the dry tobacco bag from his waist, opened the tobacco bag and gestured to Qi Run beside him.
"In-laws, would you like some?"
Qi Run immediately took out his tobacco pouch and pinched a handful of shredded tobacco from Liu Zhian's pipe with a chuckle.
"I must get some of such high-quality tobacco!"
Liu Zhi'an skillfully filled the tobacco pot with shredded tobacco and raised his head to look at the heavy snowflakes flying in the sky.
"When I was resting in the inn yesterday evening, I heard the cold wind outside the window, whistling non-stop.
Unexpectedly, one night passed and when I woke up again, it was already snowing heavily in the capital.
Auspicious snow heralds a good harvest, auspicious snow heralds a good harvest!
Yun girl."
"Dad, tell me."
"Girl Yun, with such a pleasant snow scene outside, it would be a pity for our family to just sit in the room drinking tea and catching up on old times.
God has given us such a wonderful time and beautiful scenery, so we must not let it down!
You ask the maids to warm the wine and prepare tea.
Let’s go to the garden to enjoy the snow as a family.”
Qi Yun heard Liu Zhi'an's explanation and looked at her husband hesitantly.
Liu Mingzhi looked at Qi Yun's hesitant expression and nodded with a smile.
"Yun'er, listen to the old man, go and tell the maids to prepare."
Qi Yun nodded with a smile and immediately saluted Liu Zhianfu.
"Dad, my daughter-in-law will tell the maids to prepare now."
Liu Zhi'an turned his head and blew out a puff of smoke, then waved his hand with a smile.
"Okay, okay, thank you for your hard work."
"This is what a daughter-in-law should do."
Liu Mingzhi turned slightly sideways and gently tugged on Qi Yun's sleeve.
"Yun'er."
"Hey, husband?"
"Old man, father-in-law, they must have been very tired after traveling for so long.
You tell Yu'er, don't just prepare some wine, tea, dishes and so on."
"Husband, even if you don't tell me, I will still tell Yu'er!"
"By the way, let Yu'er and the others stew some white fungus and lotus seed soup that nourishes the body."
"Okay, I understand."
"That's all, go and tell Yu'er."
Qi Yun chuckled and nodded, walking lightly towards the personal maid Yu'er who was standing not far away.
"Yu'er."
"My slave is here."
"Come over here, I have something to tell you."
"Hey, the slave is here."
Liu Zhi'an held the tobacco bag in his hand, smiled lightly and waved to Qi Run and his wife.
"In-laws, in-laws mother, please."
"Please come with me! Please come with me!"
"My mother-in-law, let's go together, sisters."
"Hey, let's go together, let's go together."
Young Master Liu and his wife looked at each other and happily followed Liu Zhi'an and the four of them.
"In-laws, when I and my wife were still living in the capital.
When the two of us had nothing to do, we often planted various flowers and plants in the garden.
Now is the time when plum blossoms are blooming.
Snow falls in the dead of winter, and plum blossoms begin to bloom.
It's time for this.
We two old guys who are over fifty, today also have the opportunity to look back on the dissolute days of our youth.
Hehehe, hehehe.
God, treat us well!"
Qi Run glanced at the garden, which had been covered with snow and covered with silver for a week, and nodded happily.
"In-laws, I and my wife are very lucky to have you and your mother-in-law today!"
"Seeing outside, seeing outside, walking around, walking in the snow to look for plum blossoms, walking in the snow to look for plum blossoms."
"Okay, as you said, we two old guys will have a good time today to reminisce about the dissolute days of the past."
Liu Mingzhi looked at Liu Zhi'an's back in front of him, who was more stooped than before, and the smile on his face gradually disappeared.
The old man and his father-in-law were obviously talking and laughing about their past years.
However, somehow!
But I heard a hint of twilight in the old man's tone.
It is a kind of dying feeling of a dying hero.
Or one can say.
It’s a kind of twilight!
And I have seen this kind of twilight energy more than once.
My father-in-law, Emperor Li Zheng.
Wu Guogong Wan Buhai, Mr. Wan.
Yunyang, Mr. Yun.
My first year-end friend was Li Yugang, King of Huainan.
Several of them had experienced the twilight aura of a dying hero.
Liu Mingzhi breathed a silent sigh and silently moved his eyes to his mother's body.
He saw the clearly visible streaks of gray on his mother's bun, and his heart suddenly became sad.
Once upon a time.
My old man, he was still a strong middle-aged man at that time.
once Upon a time.
My mother, she was still a pretty woman who still had charm at that time.
However, in a blink of an eye.
Unknowingly, the old man and his mother.
Both of them have become an old man who is about to be sixty years old.
I often lament to Yun'er, her sisters, and others, as well as to all my children, that I am getting old.
However, he subconsciously ignored it.
My old man and my mother are already older.
"Husband, why do you look so bad?
What's wrong with you? Are you okay?"
"It's okay, the wind and snow are so strong that it's blinding me!"
