Liu Zhi'an poked the sweet potatoes on the stove with tongs and rolled his eyes angrily.
"There's nothing wrong with your eyes. I'm roasting sweet potatoes. Can't you see?"
Young Master Liu's mouth twitched a few times, he picked up a stool and placed it next to the stove. After adjusting his clothes, he sat down carelessly.
"I am not blind, so of course I can see that you are roasting sweet potatoes.
I mean, the banquet in the palace has just ended, and it's not even half an hour yet!
Why did you two pass the exam and eat sweet potatoes again?
What's the matter, at today's banquet in the palace, the royal chefs carefully prepared so many delicacies from mountains and seas, don't they suit your taste, old man?"
Just as Liu Zhi'an was about to speak, Qinglian, the Queen and the other sisters walked into the palace gate together.
"Daughters-in-law and sisters meet daddy."
"Brothers, grandchildren, pay homage to grandpa."
"The granddaughters and sisters meet grandpa."
Liu Zhi'an put down the fire tongs in his hand and looked at Qinglian, the Queen and her sisters, Liu Feifei, Liu Chengfeng, Little Cutie and their brothers and sisters who had walked into the mansion one after another, rubbing them happily.
Rubbing his hands.
"No gifts for all, no gifts for all."
"Thank you dad."
"Thank you, grandpa."
When the little cutie saw some roasted sweet potatoes on the stove, she frowned slightly and looked at Liu Zhi'an in surprise.
"Grandpa, why did you bake sweet potatoes again? Weren't you full at the banquet?"
Liu Zhi'an raised his head and looked at the little cutie, and said with a chuckle: "Yue'er, you and your dad are truly a father and daughter.
Your father just asked my grandfather this question, and you asked it again as soon as you came in."
When the little cutie heard Liu Zhi'an's words, she glanced sideways at her father and snorted softly.
"Huh, it's just a coincidence."
"Hehehe, Yue'er, whatever you say is whatever you say."
The little cutie stretched out her white and flawless hands and placed them on top of the stove and gently turned it a few times.
"Grandpa, you haven't told Yue'er yet what's going on."
Liu Zhi'an smiled and picked up the tongs to turn the sweet potatoes over, and said with a chuckle: "Yue'er, there are too many people at the banquet, Grandpa, I feel uncomfortable eating.
No, after grandpa, your grandma and I answered the question at home, we asked your grandpa Liu Yuan to help me bake a few sweet potatoes, planning to fill my stomach for a while."
"Hey, that's it."
Young Master Liu picked up the pot and poured a cup of tea. He smiled lightly and looked up at Qinglian. Ling Weier and the other sisters looked over.
"Lian'er, Wei'er, Yunyao."
"My sisters are here."
"You sisters have been busy all day. It's getting late, so you sisters should go back early and have a rest."
"Hey, my sisters know it."
"Yiyi, Yaoyao, Chengfeng, Yue'er, you brothers and sisters should go back and rest first."
"Yes, my child knows."
"Dad, my daughter-in-law and sisters are going back first."
"Grandpa, we are going back first."
"Okay, okay, let's go back. Let's all go back first."
"Lingyi."
"Hey, husband."
"After you go back to bathe and change clothes, don't forget to tell the maids to prepare a bucket of hot water for my husband to use for bathing."
"Yeah, yeah, I know."
"Okay, then you go back first."
"I retire."
Liu Mingzhi watched everyone gradually go away, picked up the tea he poured and blew it gently a few times.
"Old man, tell me, what are you waiting for me here for?"
"Master, the sweet potato on the left is ripe."
"Ah, good, good, good."
Liu Zhi'an immediately picked up the tongs and picked up the sweet potato sitting on the left side.
He first slowly put the hot and fragrant roasted sweet potatoes aside, then reached out and lifted the drink beside him and gestured to his eldest son.
"You bastard, what about you? Are you still here?"
Young Master Liu took a sip of tea, smiled and nodded.
"Come on, let me have some drinks with you, Uncle Yuan."
Liu Zhi'an poured the wine into the glass and glanced at Young Master Liu with a frown.
"Where is this kid Cheng Gan? Why didn't I see him come back with me just now?"
Young Master Liu stretched out his hand to pick up a glass of wine, turned towards the backyard and pursed his lips.
"We should have reached the back door by now."
"Huh? What do you mean?"
"This guy got drunk himself in order to get Chengzhi drunk.
Liu Songlai drove a carriage to take him to the back door, and after waiting for half a cup of tea, Xiaowu, Xiaoliu and the others will probably carry him to the room."
Liu Zhi'an raised his eyebrows and shook his head helplessly.
"This guy's drinking capacity still needs mercy."
Young Master Liu picked up the warm wine and drank it in one gulp, his expression becoming curious.
"What? Could it be that what you want to tell me, old man, has something to do with this boy Cheng Gan?"
Liu Zhi'an picked up the drink and tasted it briefly. He glanced in the direction of the backyard with a strange expression, chuckled and nodded.
"Of course."
"whats the matter?"
"Tell me, tell me, what's going on with the little girl who has been surrounding Cheng Qian at the banquet from beginning to end today?"
Young Master Liu looked slightly startled and asked instinctively: "Little girl? Which little girl?"
"That's the little girl wearing a brocade jacket, a lavender silk skirt, and cowhide boots."
Young Master Liu silently recalled it, and suddenly nodded in enlightenment.
"Oh... I know who you are talking about, young master. It turns out to be this girl Zhou Tong'er."
Liu Zhi'an's face lit up, and he happily divided the warm roasted sweet potato into two, then lowered his head and took a bite.
"Zhou Tong'er? Tell me quickly, what's going on with this girl? Is she the girl Cheng Gan likes?"
Liu Mingzhi gently turned the tea cup in his hand, looked at Liu Zhi'an and said with a chuckle: "You are right, this girl is the girl that this boy Cheng Qian likes."
"When did it happen? Why have I never heard you and Yun'er girl, Yan'er girl and the other sisters mention it?"
"It wasn't that long, just not long ago.
It was probably something you and your mother, father-in-law and mother-in-law decided on half a month ago on the day you arrived in the capital."
Liu Zhi'an paused slightly while peeling the sweet potato skin, and then his eyes widened.
"You bastard, what does this settled matter mean?
