"Eldest brother, second brother, we three brothers will have a drink first."
"Okay, cheers."
"cheers."
Song Qing took a breath of alcohol and served three glasses of wine.
Ling Yang quickly reached out to pick up a bottle of wine and silently placed it in front of him.
"Brother, after drinking this glass of wine, I can just pour it myself."
Song Qing nodded with a smile, reached out and picked up his wine glass to signal.
"It's okay, the eldest brother among us brothers won't be polite to you.
However, just drinking this one cup is not enough.
We brothers haven't gotten together for so long, so we have to drink three glasses of wine in a row.
Cheers, two brothers."
"As you wish, I respect you, little brother."
"As you wish, cheers."
Because of Young Master Liu and Song Qing, they had already drank a lot of strong alcohol.
Now that three glasses of warm wine were poured down their throats again, a faint trace of sweat appeared on the foreheads of the two brothers.
Ling Yang saw the fine traces of sweat on the foreheads of the two brothers. He held a pot in one hand and a wine glass in the other and gestured to them.
"Brother, third brother, you have drank a lot of wine before.
I don’t want to take advantage of you in terms of drinking, so I will punish myself with three more drinks."
Young Master Liu looked at his second brother who was pouring wine, happily cut off a piece of barbecue with a knife, and put it on the plate in front of Ling Yang with a smile.
"Second brother, how can you just punish yourself with three cups?
With your drinking capacity, if you accompany me and my eldest brother, you will have to drink at least ten drinks as punishment."
Song Qing took a bite of the sauced duck neck, and after hearing what Liu Dashao said, he immediately echoed it loudly.
"Third brother, what you said makes sense. Three glasses of wine is too little. You need at least ten glasses of wine."
Ling Yang saw the smiling faces of Young Master Liu and Song Qing, shook his head helplessly, and directly placed the wine glass in his hand on the stone table.
"Brother, third brother, don't punish yourself with ten glasses of wine. I'd better just drink a jug of wine."
Ling Yang took off the wine cork with his fingers, raised the wine bottle and took a long sip.
Young Master Liu and Song Qing looked at each other and gave Ling Yang a thumbs up.
Ling Yang burped lightly and waved the empty wine bottle at the two brothers.
"Hiccup~Boss, Third, it's okay now."
"Massive, massive."
"Second brother, hurry up and eat some food to calm your stomach."
Ling Yang let out a long sigh of relief, rolled up his sleeves, picked up the chopsticks and picked up the roast meat that Mr. Liu had cut for himself.
"Hiccup~ Let's eat together as brothers."
Song Qing turned sideways and picked up a pot of just-warmed wine from the stove, and put it in front of Ling Yang with a sigh of relief.
"Second child."
"Brother, what's wrong?"
Song Qing picked up the wine glass and took a sip. He hesitated for a moment and looked at Ling Yang with complex eyes.
"These years you...you..."
Seeing that his elder brother seemed to want to say something but was hesitant, Ling Yang put his chopsticks on the plate.
"Brother, why are you so hesitant? Just say what you want to say."
Song Qing glanced sideways at Mr. Liu, raised his head and drank all the wine in the glass.
"There's nothing particularly important, I just want to ask you.
After all these years, have you started a family?"
Ling Yang was startled when he heard the question his eldest brother asked him.
When he came to his senses, he lifted the wine bottle and poured himself a glass of wine with a bitter expression.
"not yet."
Song Qing leaned forward and lit a pot of dry smoke on the stove. Looking at the bitter look on his second brother Ling Yang's face, he frowned slightly and looked towards the southern sky.
"Brother, you should be forty-three this year."
"Yes, I am forty and three years old this year.
In ten days and a half, after the New Year, you will be forty-four years old."
Song Qing nodded silently, raised his head and blew out the smoke in his mouth.
"After the New Year, you will be forty-four years old.
If you don't get married, the bloodline of your Ling family will be cut off with you!"
Song Qing's words were meant for Ling Yang to hear, but his eyes fell on Young Master Liu.
Young Master Liu felt his elder brother's gaze and silently took a puff of his cigarette with a complicated look on his face.
He pursed his lips and looked at Song Qing, who fell silent and didn't say anything for a long time.
Ling Yang looked at his elder brother Song Qing's sad face, then at Liu Mingzhi's complicated expression, picked up the wine glass and took a silent sip.
"Brother, I understand your good intentions, but I'm used to living alone."
"Second brother, as the saying goes, there are three types of unfilial piety, and the worst is not having children.
You are now married and starting a business. Judging from your current age, it is still possible for you to have children in your old age.
When you have children of your own, the bloodline of your Ling family can be considered continued.
Then, if you continue to delay.
The fate of your Ling family will really depend on you in the future.
In this case, how do you explain to the souls of the third uncle and the third aunt that are still in heaven?
Ultimately, after a hundred years, how can you have the dignity to meet them?"
Ling Yang sighed with a low expression, and poured a glass of wine with slightly trembling arms.
"Brother, to be honest, I haven't thought about it that much.
In life, everything has its own destiny.
Perhaps, my little brother is destined to die alone."
Song Qing picked up his wine glass and shifted his gaze from Young Master Liu to Ling Yang.
"drink wine."
"Brother, I respect you."
"Eldest brother, second brother, and younger brother, here's a drink to you."
"Second child."
"Well, big brother?"
"Third uncle, third aunt and the others have passed away many years ago.
Me, you, Laosan, Wei'er, Song Yun, Mingli, Song Lei, Xuan'er, Mingjie.
Among us brothers and sisters, my brother is the oldest.
Now that the third uncle and the third aunt are gone, you don't think that much about your affairs.
However, an elder brother is like a father.
Those things that you don't consider yourself, your eldest brother, have to think about your life-long events and the blood of your Ling family.
Good brother, listen to your elder brother and start a family as soon as possible."
"Brother, doesn't this also belong to Weier?
After the third brother and Wei'er got married, they gave birth to two siblings, Zhengran and Yunxi.
They two brothers and sisters also have half of the blood of our Ling family.
In this case, this does not mean that the bloodline has been cut off."
Song Qing raised his head and drank the drink in one gulp, then added another glass of wine with a frown on his face.
"Second brother, third brother is also here this year.
As a brother, I am not afraid of the third brother's concern, so I speak frankly when I say some things.
It's true that Yun Xi and his brother and sister have half the blood of your Ling family.
However, one thing can never be changed.
That is, Zhengran and Yunxi, two siblings, are named Liu, not Ling!"
"This...I..."
Liu Mingzhi leaned over the stone bench and knocked out the ashes from the smoke pot, then poured a glass of wine from the pot.
"Brother."
"Third brother, tell me."
"Don't you think it's because of the younger brother that the second brother hasn't gotten married yet, right?"
Song Qing shook his head without hesitation, raised his wine glass and gestured to Young Master Liu.
Liu Mingzhi put down the dry tobacco bag in his hand, picked up the wine glass and saluted back, then raised his head slightly and drank the wine in the glass.
Song Qing wiped the drink from the corner of his mouth with his fingers, then picked up the pot and filled a glass of wine for himself and Liu Mingzhi.
"Third brother, do you think my brother is a superficial person?
I know the second brother’s character better than you do.”
Young Master Liu looked at Song Qing's sincere expression, nodded with a faint smile, raised his glass and gestured to Ling Yang.
"Second brother, eldest brother is so worried about your affairs, why don't you say something?"
"Third brother, what did you ask me to say?"
Liu Mingzhi ate a large piece of venison and looked towards Ling Yang with a smile.
"Since second brother you don't know what to say, then I will give you a heads up."
"Um?"
"One of your younger siblings, the former Queen of the Kingdom of Jin, Wanyan Wanyan, has the admiral and secret agent in her hands, Hui'er.
Second brother, do you still want me to continue talking?"
After listening to Young Master Liu's words, Ling Yang's arm holding the wine glass shook slightly, and his eyes couldn't help but become erratic.
"This...you...I..."
Song Qing looked at Young Master Liu's smiling face, and couldn't help but reveal a look of surprise on his face.
Based on his understanding of Liu Mingzhi's character, he knew it very well.
It is absolutely impossible for the third brother to say these words for no reason.
"Third brother, what do you mean by this?"
Liu Mingzhi picked up the wine glass and took a sip. He raised his head with a smile and gestured to Ling Yang.
"What do you mean? You can ask my second brother yourself."
Song Qing drank a glass of wine with his eyes rolled lightly, and was silent for a moment thoughtfully, then looked towards Ling Yang with doubts in his eyes.
"Second brother, you won't hide anything from my brother, right?"
"No, no."
"Really, are you sure?"
"Brother, I'm sure."
"Then look into my brother's eyes and say what you just said again."
Ling Yang's face was embarrassed, his eyes were wandering and he quickly picked up the wine glass and put it in his mouth, as if he was trying to hide something.
“Brother, aren’t we brothers getting together today just to drink?
We’ll talk about other things later when we have time, come on, let’s drink first.”
When Song Qing saw Ling Yang's embarrassed expression and his evasive eyes, he immediately looked sideways at Young Master Liu.
Young Master Liu saw Song Qing's frown and happily picked up his wine glass.
"Brother, second brother is right, let's drink first, drink first.
As for other things, we’ll talk about it later when we have time.”
When Song Qing saw Young Master Liu pretending to be confused, he turned to look at Ling Yang and directly placed the wine glass in his hand heavily on the stone table.
"Second child, third child, do you recognize me as your elder brother?
In the eyes of you two brothers, do you still have me as your elder brother?"
"Brother."
"Brother, what are you talking about?"
Song Qing took a deep breath, picked up the wine glass and clinked it with the wine glasses of Young Master Liu and Brother Ling Yang.
"Let us brothers drink this glass of wine first, and then we can continue talking about the second child."
As soon as Song Qing finished speaking, he drank all the wine in the cup regardless of whether the two brothers agreed or not.
"Huh - second brother, tell me, what's going on?"
Ling Yang sipped the drink from the corner of his mouth, put down the wine glass with trembling arms, and looked at Song Qing helplessly.
"Brother, your kind little brother really appreciates it.
However, I only have my own difficulties.
Let’s not talk about my little brother’s getting married, okay?”
Song Qing suddenly stood up and glared at Ling Yang fiercely.
"You! Third child, come and tell me."
Ling Yang's expression froze and he quickly looked towards Young Master Liu.
"Third brother!"
Mr. Liu picked up the rag on the side and wiped the grease on his hands, then picked up the wine bottle and poured three glasses of wine.
"Brother, what else can I say? Brothers working together can be as powerful as gold!
There are some things that we two brothers just want to be together."
"Huh? Third brother, what do you mean by this?"
"There are some things that even if you don't talk about it today, brother, I plan to tell you about it.
But, my little brother never thought of it.
My younger brother hasn’t had time to bring it up yet, big brother, go and bring it up first.”
Song Qing looked stunned, and the doubt on his face became even more intense.
"This! Third brother, the more you talk about being a brother, the more confused you become."
Liu Mingzhi looked at Song Qing's frowning and confused expression, glanced down at Ling Yang's complicated expression, raised his hands and slapped them hard a few times.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
After three soft sounds, Mr. Liu smiled and looked outside the snow viewing pavilion.
Seeing this, Song Qing subconsciously followed Mr. Liu's lead and looked outside the pavilion.
In the eyes of the two brothers, the Queen's beautiful eyes were smiling, her demeanor was dignified, and she was walking towards the snow viewing pavilion with lotus steps.
At the same time, there was Hui'er who was following the Queen, holding an infant in her arms.
Before Young Master Liu, the Song and Qing brothers could speak.
As soon as Ling Yang saw Hui'er, who was following the Queen and holding the infant baby in her arms, he dropped the wine glass in his hand and hurriedly stood up and walked towards the outside of the pavilion to greet her.
"Madam, it's so cold outside, why did you come out?"
Hui'er looked at Ling Yang's worried expression, her pretty face helplessly pursed her red lips at the queen next to her.
“Husband, I don’t want to take my son out in this weather!
It’s just that I can’t do anything about it.
The Lord has already given the order, what do you do if you ask me to be my concubine?"
When Song Qing heard the words of Ling Yang and Hui'er, his body shook violently, and the corner of his mouth twitched as he looked towards Young Master Liu.
"Mother...Mother? Husband, husband? And son?
Third brother, what exactly is going on?"
Major Liu put his hands inside his sleeves and chuckled happily.
"Hehehe, husband, wife, son.
Brother, is it difficult to understand such a scene?"
Song Qing frowned and shook his head in a gesture.
"It's not difficult to understand, it's not difficult to understand, but...but..."
The queen walked into the snow-viewing pavilion and saluted Liu Dashaofu with a smile as bright as a flower.
"I have met my husband."
"No gift."
"Thank you, husband."
The Queen turned slightly sideways and saluted Song Qingfu again.
"Little sister has met big brother."
Song Qing withdrew his gaze and waved his hand hastily.
"No gifts, no gifts."
"Thank you, brother."
Liu Mingzhi chuckled and tightened the cloak around the Queen's body. He chuckled and looked at Ling Yang and Hui'er outside the snow viewing pavilion.
