Liu Mingzhi glanced at Liu Chengfeng, and then glanced sideways in the direction of the east courtyard.
"Lian'er, do you think the intimacy between them is as intimate as hair? Or are they deliberately pretending to be intimate for us to see?"
"Of course it's intimate from the heart."
"Really? Are you sure?"
"Husband, what do you mean by this? Don't you want harmony between your son and his daughter-in-law?"
"No, of course my husband hopes that this boy Chengfeng and Serena will get along harmoniously.
Don’t you ask me this just because you want to make sure again?”
Qinglian Liu frowned, and angrily stretched out her hand to lightly bump Young Master Liu's arm.
"Husband, I am not stupid, of course you can tell whether their expressions and reactions when they get along are real or fake.
I can guarantee that the intimacy between Chengfeng and Serena as a young couple is definitely from the heart.
Husband, intimacy that comes from the heart and intimacy that seems to be distant but seem to be separate are two completely different feelings.
I am not the kind of little woman who has never seen the world, I still have such a bit of discernment."
After listening to Qinglian's words, Liu Mingzhi nodded with a pleased expression and said: "It's so good, so good, everything will be prosperous if the family is harmonious, everything will be prosperous if the family is harmonious."
They are harmonious as husband and wife and treat each other with respect, so we parents can rest assured."
Qinglian pursed her red lips a few times, pulled on Young Master Liu's sleeves with some hesitation on her pretty face, and then walked out of the hall door first.
"Husband, I have an idea and want to ask you what you mean."
Young Master Liu heard Qinglian's message and straightened his clothes with a faint smile.
"Brother."
"Third brother, what's wrong?"
"I suddenly remembered that I forgot to explain something very important to you. Come out with me for a moment, and I will explain the general situation to you."
"Okay, here we come."
Song Qing happily waved to the three princesses, sisters and others, and immediately followed Young Master Liu.
"Brothers and sisters, let's chat later."
"Brother, please."
After Liu Mingzhi walked out of the hall with a faint smile, he saw Qinglian walking to the corner of the courtyard and immediately walked over.
Song Qing walked out of the main hall and quickly followed Mr. Liu.
He was just about to ask what Young Master Liu wanted to talk to him about, but after seeing this scene, he understood instantly.
Third brother is using himself as a shield!
Song Qing coughed a few times, casually took off the wine bag from his waist, and quickly turned around and walked down the corridor not far away.
Young Master Liu glanced back in the direction of the hall door, chuckled and stopped next to the beauty.
"Lian'er, tell your husband what you think."
"Husband, I would like to arrange for my personal maid to pay more attention to Chengfeng, Serena and the couple.
In this way, if the young couple gets into a quarrel one day, I will know immediately.
However, this behavior, to put it mildly, is to pay attention to the situation on their side.
It's explained, it's an act of surveillance.
I don’t know whether it is appropriate to act like this.
So, I would like to ask what you mean?"
After listening to Qinglian's appeal, Liu Mingzhi chuckled with a clear expression and said: "Lian'er, are you worried that your good intentions will end up doing bad things?"
Qinglian's pretty face was delighted, and she nodded a few times without hesitation.
"Yeah, yeah, that's what I mean.
After all, monitoring this kind of behavior is not a gentleman's behavior no matter how you say it.
However, I am also very worried that Chengfeng and Serena will have another quarrel one day in the future.
So, husband, what do you mean?"
Liu Mingzhi raised his hand and patted the beauty's shoulder, looked sideways in the direction of the hall door, chuckled and shook his head.
"Lian'er, it's just as you said just now.
Monitoring this kind of behavior is not a gentleman's behavior no matter how you say it.
What's more, he sent someone to monitor his son and daughter-in-law?
Lian'er, my husband naturally understands and understands your painstaking efforts.
However, Chengfeng and Serena may not be able to understand it."
"Husband, I am worried about this, so I want to discuss it with you.
I don’t want my mother to become a human being either inside or outside."
"Lian'er."
"Hey, husband, tell me."
"Lian'er, our son has grown up and has his own ideas.
As parents, we can’t stay with them our whole lives!”
After listening to her husband's words, Qinglian's delicate body trembled slightly and she blinked a few times with red eyes.
"I understand, husband!"
"Um?"
"Husband, am I particularly ignorant?"
"No, no, what are you thinking about?"
"Why not? You are already this old, but when you think about things, you still think about the same as when you were twenty..."
Before Qinglian could finish her sentence, Young Master Liu immediately planned to come.
"Lian'er!"
"Hey, I'm here."
Young Master Liu rubbed Qinglian's red eyes with his fingers, raised his head and pursed his lips towards the courtyard behind the main hall.
"Lian'er, how old are the old man and my mother this year?
For the sake of my husband, Mingli, Xuaner, Mingjie and us, four brothers and sisters.
The two elders are so old, don't they have to work hard all day long?
In this world, except for a few people.
How many parents don’t feel sorry for their children?
Lian'er, you feel bad for me, don't you feel bad for your husband?"
Qinglian grabbed Young Master Liu's wrist, frowned and shook her head vigorously.
"Husband, I definitely don't mean this."
"Lian'er, I understand my husband, I understand your thoughts."
"Well, well, well, I won't say it's you."
"Lian'er, the child has grown up, and he is already a father.
We should trust him and believe that he can handle his own affairs."
Qinglian took a few deep breaths to calm down her mood.
"Husband, I understand what you mean."
Young Master Liu chuckled and combed the beauty's slightly scattered hair around her ears, and then pointed in the direction of the hall door.
"Go and help Yan'er, Sister Ya and the others clear the dining table."
Qinglian responded with a sweet voice, and hurried towards the main hall with light steps.
"Hey, I'll go over first."
Qinglian had just walked a few steps when Qi Yun's surprised voice suddenly came from under the arch next to her.
"Ah, husband, why are you and sister Lian'er standing in the yard?"
Qinglian looked back at Qi Yun, smiled and waved her hand.
"Sister Yun, let your husband talk to you. My sister is going to the hall first."
"Ah? Okay."
Qi Yun waved blankly, and then walked towards Young Master Liu.
"Husband, what's going on?"
"Huh? Yun'er, what's going on?"
"Husband, why do I feel that there is something wrong with sister Lian'er's expression?"
Young Master Liu watched Qinglian walk into the main hall and turned his head to look at Qi Yun, who had a pretty face full of confusion.
"Why, Lian'er didn't tell you in private about the quarrel between Chengfeng and Serena?"
Qi Yun raised her eyebrows and nodded in sudden realization.
"No wonder there's something wrong with Sister Lian'er's expression. I understand, I understand."
"Yun'er."
"Hey, husband, tell me."
"Are you ready for the food and wine that your husband asked you to prepare?"
"Husband, the cold dishes are almost ready before I come back.
I don’t know, husband, where are you two planning to drink?”
"Go to the garden. You can drink and enjoy the scenery at the same time. It's like killing two birds with one stone."
Qi Yun nodded with a smile and waved sideways to her personal maid Yu'er.
"Yu'er."
"My slave is here."
"You immediately take a few maids to the Snow Viewing Pavilion and tidy up the place."
"This slave obeys your orders. This slave will leave first."
Liu Mingzhi patted Qi Yun's arm, smiled lightly and walked towards Song Qing.
"Brother."
"Third brother."
"I've met my brother."
"No gifts, no gifts."
"Brother, the kitchen is almost ready. Let's go have a drink at the snow viewing pavilion in the garden."
"No problem, third brother, we will go drinking wherever you say we want to go."
"Yun'er."
"Concubine."
"After you sisters have finished handling the trivial matters, don't forget to rush to the Snow Viewing Pavilion."
"Yeah, I understand."
"Brother, let's go."
"Together together."
After half a day.
In the garden of Liu Mansion.
Young Master Liu, Qi Yun, and the three princesses gathered in the snow viewing pavilion.
Qi Yun picked up the warm wine from the stove, filled a few glasses of wine with a soft smile, and sat down next to Young Master Liu in a dignified manner.
Liu Mingzhi nodded slightly and picked up his wine glass behind him.
Qi Yun, the Queen, sisters Yun Xiaoxi and others also picked up their own wine glasses.
"Brother, please."
"Drink together."
Before Song Qing put down his wine glass, Yu'er immediately picked up the pot and filled Song Qing with another glass of wine.
Sisters Qi Yun and Murong Shan immediately raised their wine glasses to signal.
"Brother, we sisters will give you a toast, please."
"Okay, okay, let's drink together."
"Dad, Yun Rui wants to eat chicken legs..."
"Daddy, Keke wants to eat that sauce duck neck."
"Hehehe, daddy will bring you some food."
Liu Mingzhi looked at the newly sensible children around him, picked up the dishes and put them on the plate beside him with a smile on his face.
"Kexin, Keke, you brothers and sisters, please go and eat.
If you want to eat something again, just ask your mother for it, and don't delay dad and your uncle from drinking."
"Yeah, yeah, kid, I understand."
"Dad, mother, let's go eat next to it first."
"Uncle, you eat well and drink well."
"Hey, uncle knows, please watch your steps."
"we know."
Song Qing held his own wine glass and looked at Mr. Liu helplessly.
"Third brother, what are you doing?
Yun Rui, if they want to eat anything, just let them eat as much as they want."
"Brother, these little guys have already had breakfast and are just messing around.
Don't worry about them, let them play."
Qi Yun, the three princesses and sisters also agreed one after another.
"Brother, just have a good drink with your husband."
"Brother, my husband is right, they have already eaten and drank enough."
Song Qing saw that all the sisters Qi Yun and others had said this, so naturally it was hard for him to say anything else.
He withdrew his gaze and raised his glass with a smile to signal.
"My brothers and sisters have said so, what else can I say as a brother?
Come on, come on, drink, drink.”
"Drink together, drink together."
As soon as brothers Liu Mingzhi and Song Qing put down their wine glasses, Yu'er smiled and filled up two glasses of wine that had already been warmed.
"Brother, I have something to tell you."
Song Qing burped lightly and looked at Young Master Liu with doubtful eyes.
"Hiccup, third brother, tell me."
"Due to heavy snow and road closures, Song Lei and Mingli's family may not have the chance to return to the capital to celebrate the New Year this year."
Song Qing frowned, sighed melancholy, raised his head and drank all the wine in the glass.
"Oh, I understand. I understand, brother."
"Brother, I'm not just telling you about this situation.
Uncle, it’s up to you to tell him.”
Song Qing nodded with a wry smile, looked at Yu'er who was about to pour him a drink, and waved casually.
"Yu'er, please put down the wine bottle. I can just pour myself some wine."
Yu'er's pretty face tightened and she quickly looked towards Young Master Liu.
Young Master Liu glanced sideways at Yu'er, chuckled and nodded.
"Yu'er, please step back first."
Yu'er immediately put the wine bottle aside and bowed respectfully.
"Yes, slave, I obey."
"Yun'er, Sister Ya, Wanyan, Rongrong."
"I am here."
"You sisters have already toasted to your eldest brother, so go back and do your own business first."
Qi Yun, the three princesses and the others were startled at first, then immediately stood up and gave a blessing after they realized what they were doing.
"Hey, my sisters, please take your leave first."
Sister Qi Yun and others exited the snow viewing pavilion in a hurry, and immediately shouted to their children to walk out towards the garden.
"Third brother, what are you doing?"
Liu Mingzhi casually took off the tobacco bag from his waist and gave Song Qing a look with a faint smile.
After Qi Yun, the Queen and their group gradually disappeared, Liu Mingzhi held a dry tobacco bag that had been lit with shredded tobacco and made a gesture behind him with a smile.
Soon.
Under Song Qing's surprised gaze, a figure wearing a bamboo hat and plain robe flew into the snow viewing pavilion in a few ups and downs.
Song Qing stared blankly at the man in a bamboo hat in front of him for a moment, then stood up from the stone bench.
"Second child."
Ling Yang raised his head and took off the bamboo hat on his head, smiled lightly and nodded to Song Qing.
"Brother, long time no see."
With a soft clang, Song Qing hurriedly placed the wine glass on the stone table and walked quickly towards Ling Yang.
"Good brother, long time no see."
Song Qing patted Ling Yang's shoulder heavily, looking at Young Master Liu with excitement and helplessness.
"Third brother, what you did today was not honest!
Why didn't you tell Brother Wei in advance that you asked me to come over and have a drink with you?"
Young Master Liu gently took a puff of dry smoke, raised his head to face Song Qing, and waved to the Ling Yang brothers.
"Eldest brother, second brother, let's sit down and talk."
“Hey, hey, sit down right here, sit down right here.
Second brother, come and sit over here."
Ling Yang placed the bamboo hat on the stone bench covered with cotton pads and happily sat down next to Song Qing.
"Thank you, brother."
Song Qing glared at Ling Yang fiercely and poured three glasses of wine from the pot.
"You bastard, why the hell are you being polite to big brother!"
