Liu Mingzhi looked back at the people behind him, and when he saw that they were all ready, he walked to the steps and stopped with a smile.
After standing still, Mr. Liu turned his head and looked at Liu Xuan, Liu Mingjie, Jiuniu and the others standing on both sides, smiled lightly and coughed lightly.
"uh-huh."
Brothers Liu Xuan, Jiuniu, and Liu Mingjie immediately straightened their expressions.
"My child Liu Mingzhi."
"My child Liu Xuan."
"My child Liu Mingjie."
"Children and nine cows."
As soon as the four brothers and sisters finished speaking, they all saluted directly to Liu Zhi'an, Mrs. Liu, Qi Run and his wife who were standing on the steps.
"We sincerely wish the four elders a prosperous New Year, happiness, longevity and good health."
After the four young masters Liu saluted, they were followed by Qi Yun, the third princess, Wenren Yunshu and the other sisters.
"Daughter-in-law Qi Yun."
"Daughter-in-law Li Yan."
"Daughter-in-law Qinglian."
"Daughter-in-law Wan Yan spoke politely."
"Daughter-in-law..."
"My little girl Ren Qingrui."
"Sisters, I wish you a happy new year and good health."
Liu Yiyi, Liu Chengfeng, Liu Chengzhi, Little Cutie... a large group of their brothers and sisters looked at each other, slowly walked to the side of Qi Yun and the other sisters, and knelt down to Liu Zhian and the others in unison.
Go down.
"Granddaughter Liu Yiyi."
"My grandson Liu Chengfeng."
"Granddaughter-in-law Serena."
"My grandson Liu Chengzhi."
"Granddaughter-in-law Li Jingyao."
"Granddaughter Liu Yaoyao."
"Granddaughter Liu Luoyue."
"Grandson..."
"Grandson Liu Zhengwen."
"Brothers and sisters, I would like to congratulate my grandparents on their good fortune in the New Year, their smiles, happiness, longevity and good health."
"Grandpa, grandpa, grandpa, we wish you a happy New Year.
With a smile on his face, Liu Zhi'an looked around at the large group of juniors standing in the courtyard who were paying New Year's greetings to the four of them, and he quickly leaned over and held up his hands.
"Okay, okay, I also wish you a happy new year and good health.
No gifts, no gifts, no gifts at all."
"Children, all gifts are exempted."
"Children, the ground is cold, please get up quickly."
Mrs. Liu nodded with kind eyes, hurriedly walked down the steps, and helped Liu Yiyi, Liu Chengzhi, Little Cutie, and a large group of brothers and sisters who were kneeling on the ground.
"Okay, okay, get up quickly, get up quickly."
"Grandma, your grandson can just get up by himself."
"Hehehe, Shuang'er, thank you grandma."
Qi Run happily lit a pot of dry pipe, glanced at the large group of juniors in the courtyard, and slowly walked to Liu Zhi'an and stopped.
"My dear, your family is really blooming."
Liu Zhi'an nodded with a smile on his face, then casually took out a large pile of red envelopes from his arms and shook them.
"In-laws, where are you now? Our second son and the rest of the family are still over in Jinling and haven't come over yet.
In-laws, don’t you envy me very much?”
Qi Run blew out a puff of smoke with a sad look on his face, turned around and nodded to Mrs. Qi.
Mrs. Qi felt her master's eyes, and immediately took out a large pile of red envelopes from her arms with a chuckle and held them in her hand.
Seeing this, Qi Run chuckled and looked away, and took out a large pile of red envelopes from his arms.
"Oh, to be honest, of course I'm very envious. If you say you're not envious, you'd be lying."
Liu Zhi'an raised his eyebrows and patted Qi Run's arm happily.
"My in-laws, if you are envious, then ask your Qi Liang to work harder and give birth to more grandchildren and granddaughters for you and your in-laws as soon as possible.
If you and your biological mother still feel that the child is not enough, then let him take in another concubine with ten rooms and eight rooms.
This boy is now the governor of the two palaces and a second-rank official of the imperial court.
Anyway, with so much salary a year, it’s not like I can’t afford it.”
Qi Run looked stunned. After he realized what he was doing, he immediately shook his head helplessly.
"Oh, my dear, do you think that a sow gives birth to babies, one litter at a time?"
"Hey, then you can continue to be envious."
Liu Zhi'an shrugged his shoulders casually, happily threw a large pile of red envelopes in his hand and walked down the steps.
"Children, come on, grandpa has given you red envelopes."
The eyes of Liu Chengfeng, Liu Yaoyao, Xiao Keai and other brothers and sisters lit up and they immediately gathered towards Liu Zhi'an.
"Thank you, grandpa."
A group of little guys did not hesitate to give in and rushed towards Liu Zhi'an.
"Grandpa, I want it too, I want it too."
"Okay, okay, don't be anxious, don't be anxious, everyone has it."
"Yeah, yeah, thank you grandpa."
Liu Zhi'an looked at the grandchildren and granddaughters who were standing there eagerly waiting, and took the lead in walking towards Young Master Liu, Liu Xuan and their brothers and sisters.
Upon seeing this, Mrs. Liu took out the red envelope from her arms and walked towards Young Master Liu, Jiuniu and the others.
Liu Zhi'an stopped, casually picked up a big red envelope, and happily handed it to Liu Da.
"Hey! Take it."
Young Master Liu raised his eyebrows and looked at the big red envelope handed over by his old man with a surprised expression.
"Hmm? I have one too, right?"
Liu Zhi'an said angrily: "If you don't want it, I'll just put it away."
Young Master Liu took the red envelope without hesitation and sprinkled it into his sleeves with a smile.
"If you want it, old man, how dare I not accept the red envelope you gave me, young master?"
"Hehehe, virtue."
Liu Zhi'an laughed a few times and handed out red envelopes to Liu Xuan, Jiuniu, Qi Yun, the three princesses and their sisters one by one.
"Thank you dad."
"Thank you daddy."
Mrs. Liu, Qi Run and his wife followed Liu Zhi'an, and also sent red envelopes to a group of juniors with smiles on their faces.
"Zhi'er, this is the New Year's money given to you by your mother-in-law."
Young Master Liu looked at the red envelope handed over by Mrs. Qi and pretended to shirk it with hesitation.
"Mother-in-law, my son-in-law and I are already that old now, how about you, father-in-law, just forget about the red envelopes from you two elders."
"Hey, what's wrong with you at your age? No matter how old you are, you will always be children in our eyes.
Come on, keep it."
Young Master Liu chuckled and nodded, reaching out to take the red envelope.
"Okay, okay, then my son-in-law is disrespectful. Thank you, father-in-law, and thank you, mother-in-law."
After Liu Zhi'an distributed red envelopes to several of his children, including Qi Yun, the third princess, Wenren Yunshu and the group of daughters-in-law, as well as Ren Qingrui, the prospective daughter-in-law, he went directly to Liu Feifei, Liu Chengzhi and the others.
The brothers and sisters walked over.
"Children, line up and come to grandpa to receive the red envelope."
"Grandpa, we have already lined up."
"Grandpa, please give out red envelopes quickly."
"Okay, okay, grandpa will give you red envelopes now."
Qi Yun took the two cloth bags from Yu'er's hand, walked to her husband's side with light steps, and stopped.
"Husband."
"Well, Yun'er?"
"Husband, red envelopes for the children."
Liu Mingzhi reached out and took the two cloth bags from Qi Yun's hand, looked at the beauty and asked with a faint smile: "Yun'er, how are the New Year's money in these two cloth bags divided?"
"Husband, here is a big red envelope of 20,000 taels of silver that I have prepared for Yiyi, Yue'er, Chenggan and their grown-up children according to your instructions last night.
The red envelopes here are for Yunxin, Lianniang, Chengrui and the rest of the little guys."
"Yun'er, how much lucky money did your sisters pack in the red envelopes for the little guys?"
Qi Yun glanced sideways at the little guys who were gathering red envelopes from Liu Zhi'an, Mrs. Liu and the four elders, smiled slightly and said softly: "Husband, my sisters discussed it carefully last night.
These children don't have much money to spend on weekdays, so it's unnecessary to give them too much.
Therefore, after careful discussion, we sisters decided to give these little guys a New Year's gift of one hundred taels each.
Husband, you don’t think it’s a little lacking, do you?”
When Liu Mingzhi heard the beauty's question, he shook his head without hesitation.
"No, no, no, no, a hundred taels of lucky money is just right.
Just as you sisters are thinking, text, little guys like Keke don’t have much money to spend on weekdays, so it’s useless to give them too much.”
"Yes, yes, yes, husband, as long as you are satisfied."
Liu Mingzhi nodded slightly, turned his head and looked around.
"Yun'er."
"Hey, husband, tell me."
"Didn't Jie'er bring this girl Zhiyao?"
Qi Yun turned to look at Chen Jie and shook her head gently: "Husband, I'm really sorry. My sisters were busy working for most of the night last night and didn't bother to ask sister Jie'er about this matter."
"It's okay, it's okay. I understand, I just need to ask Jie'er."
"Hey, husband, please come over."
Liu Mingzhi smiled lightly and nodded, carrying two cloth bags containing red envelopes and walking towards Chen Jie and He Shu sisters.
"Jie'er, Shu'er."
"Hey, my sisters have met their husbands."
"No gifts, no gifts."
"Thank you, husband."
"Jie'er."
"Husband, what's wrong?"
Liu Mingzhi and Chen Jie stood side by side, frowning slightly and raising their fingers to indicate to the people in the courtyard.
"Jie'er, today is the Spring Festival, the day when our family gets together.
Why didn't my husband see this girl Zhiyao here? You didn't leave her alone in the princess's mansion to celebrate the New Year, right?"
When Li Baiyu was still alive, he had four children in total.
They are brothers Li Ye and Li Tao, and sisters Li Jingyao and Li Zhiyao.
Among their four siblings, Li Zhiyao is the youngest.
His daughters Liu Luoyue, Liu Lingyun and their sisters are similar in age, within a few years.
On weekdays, the relationship between their cousins is also the best.
So many years have passed, and now the child Li Ye lives alone in the East China Sea, living a leisurely life without fighting against the world and living and working in peace and contentment.
Li Tao, this kid, has already entered the Ten Kings Palace on duty under his own permission.
This girl Li Jingyao, according to the marriage contract between Li Zheng, Li Baiyu and his son, has already married Liu Chengzhi and became her daughter-in-law.
Only Li Zhiyao is the youngest, and she is still in the boudoir and has not yet left the court.
Therefore, for Li Zhiyao, this little girl who is both her niece and half of her daughter.
On weekdays, I can be said to be very caring.
Today, on this day of family joy and reunion, Liu Mingzhi was naturally very concerned because he did not see the little girl Li Zhiyao.
When Chen Jie saw Young Master Liu's frown, her heart was moved.
You must know that your daughter Li Zhiyao is the daughter of your late husband Li Baiyu.
Liu Mingzhi could care so much about his daughter Li Zhiyao without any hesitation. How could he not be moved in his heart?
"Husband."
"Jie'er, tell me."
"Husband, it's not that I don't want to bring this girl Zhi Yao over to celebrate the festival, but this girl was left in the palace yesterday afternoon by her mother.
The queen mother said that she wanted Zhiyao, her little granddaughter, to stay with her and spend more time with her. Naturally, I dare not disagree with you!
Therefore, I cannot bring her to my home to celebrate the New Year together."
After listening to Chen Jie's explanation, Liu Mingzhi nodded with a clear expression.
"So that's it, my husband knows."
"Husband, if you really want to see this girl Zhi Yao, why don't I rush to the palace immediately and take this girl from my mother's side?"
Liu Mingzhi waved his hand busy: "Don't stop, if so, her old man didn't know what to think!
It's better to let this girl Zhi Yao spend the New Year with her mother in the palace. After noon, you can send someone to bring her home.
There will be a reunion dinner in the evening, and then let Zhiyao spend time with her husband, my uncle."
"Yes, yes, I understand. Thank you husband for your understanding."
As soon as Chen Jie finished speaking, she gently pursed her red lips a few times.
"Husband, actually...actually..."
Liu Mingzhi looked at the complicated expression on Chen Jieqiao's face that was hesitant to speak, and asked softly with a slightly frowning brow: "Jie'er, you don't have to be so hesitant, just say whatever you want."
Chen Jie turned her eyes and glanced at the heart of the palace, looked at Liu Mingzhi with complicated eyes and said: "Husband, in fact, in the heart of this girl Zhiyao, she has already regarded you as her father."
Liu Mingzhi's body trembled, and after a moment of silence with a complicated look on his face, he reached out and gently patted the back of the beauty's hand.
"Jie'er."
"Hey, husband?"
Liu Mingzhi gently held Chen Jie's hand, turned around and looked in the direction of the palace, and said solemnly: "Jie'er, whether you believe it or not, my husband will tell you.
In my husband's heart, I have already regarded this girl as my biological daughter.
No matter who Zhiyao girl thinks of her husband, she is a willing husband.
She may call me uncle or daddy.
As long as she shouts, her husband will acknowledge her."
After hearing Mr. Liu's heartfelt words, Chen Jie's delicate body trembled suddenly and she looked towards Liu Mingzhi with red eyes.
"Husband."
Liu Mingzhi held Chen Jie's jade hand hard and let out a calm expression.
"Jie'er, don't worry.
In the future, when this girl Zhiyao comes out of the palace to get married, as my husband, I will definitely let her go out in a glorious manner according to the highest standards in the court.
Yiyi, Feifei, Yaoyao, Yue'er, Lingyun, Yunxin... the dowries that their sisters deserve, Zhiyao will also have.
The dowries that Yiyi, Feifei and the other sisters don't have, Zhiyao will also have if she opens her mouth.
In a word, as long as Zhiyao and my husband speak.
As a husband, I will accept everything from my side!"
