Mrs. Liu nodded with a smile, immediately took out a stack of red envelopes from her sleeves, and slowly walked to Liu Zhi'an and stopped.
"Come on, kids, grandma has given you red envelopes."
"Jiang'er, Yang'er...this belongs to your brothers and sisters."
"Thank you, Second Grandma."
"Your name is Zhou Chen, right? Come on, come on, this is a red envelope for you."
"Grandson, thank you grandma."
Mrs. Liu smiled and shook her head. Song Qing, Zhou Baoyu and their nieces handed out their lucky money one by one.
Finally, Mrs. Liu looked at Zhou Tong'er and looked at her up and down with kind eyes.
She carefully looked at Zhou Tong'er's appearance and figure, and nodded with a smile from time to time.
Seeing Mrs. Liu's reaction, Zhou Tong'er's pretty face blushed slightly, and her eyes lowered her head shyly.
"Little girl, little girl, please pay homage to Grandma Liu."
"Girl, your name is Tong'er, right."
"Yes, exactly."
"Tong'er, Zhou Tong'er. What a good name. Then grandma will just call you Tong'er girl from now on."
Zhou Tong'er turned her eyes and secretly glanced at Liu Chengqian who was giggling, and nodded gently to Mrs. Liu with a shy face.
"Yes, yes, yes, as long as Grandma Liu is happy, you can call Tong'er whatever you want."
Hearing Zhou Tong'er's answer, Mrs. Liu nodded with a smile, gently held Zhou Tong's delicate jade hand, and directly stuffed the last red envelope into her hand.
"Okay, okay, little girl Tong'er, this is the New Year's money given to you by grandma. Collect it quickly."
Zhou Tong'er had already met Song Yang just now, and Zhou Chen and the others had already put away the red envelope, so naturally they didn't pretend to be polite and excuse themselves.
After she put the red envelope into her cuff, she smiled sweetly and gave Mrs. Liu a blessing.
"Thank you so much, Grandma Liu, little girl."
"Hurry up and get free of gifts, hurry up and get free of gifts."
"Hey, thank you Grandma Liu."
Mrs. Liu gently patted the back of Zhou Tong'er's hand, chuckled and praised, "Well, Tong'er girl deserves to be from a noble family. She is indeed well-educated, well-behaved and sensible."
Liu Chengqian on the side heard his grandma's compliments to Zhou Tong'er, glanced at Zhou Tong'er with strange eyes, and suddenly couldn't help laughing.
"Pfft... hum..."
My dear grandma, you really made a mistake this time.
A lady? Well-educated? Well-behaved and sensible?
That's the scene where you have seen her holding a splitting ax and chasing me all over the yard.
Otherwise, you definitely wouldn't have said that.
Liu Chengqian's muffled laughter immediately caused everyone in the living room to look at him.
When Zhou Tong'er saw that Mrs. Liu had turned her attention to Liu Chengqian, she also turned to look at her sweetheart, glaring at him with a coquettish look in her eyes.
Stinky guy, what do you mean?
"Qian'er."
Liu Chengqian immediately put away his smile and looked at Mrs. Liu seriously.
"Hey, my grandson is here."
"You brat, why are you laughing? Isn't what grandma said right?"
"Uh! Uh! In reply to what grandma said, my grandson suddenly thought of something interesting, so he couldn't help but laugh."
"real?"
"really."
"That's pretty much it."
"Hey Hey Hey."
Liu Chenggan smiled and scratched his head without saying anything else.
However, how could Liu Chengqian know anything about Zhou Tong'er's personal situation?
My grandfather and grandmother already knew everything about it from my father and mother, as well as my aunts, their husbands and others.
Mrs. Liu glared at Liu Chengqian with a dark look, then looked at Liu Mingzhi with a faint smile.
"Zhi'er, please quickly invite the guests to take their seats."
"Okay, I understand, kid."
Young Master Liu smiled lightly and nodded, then turned to face Song Qing, Zhou Baoyu and the others and waved.
"Brother, Baoyu, ladies and gentlemen, please take your seats."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Mrs. Liu followed Liu Zhi'an and asked in a low voice, "Master, what do you think?"
Liu Zhi'an glanced at Zhou Tong'er who was walking towards Liu Yiyi, Little Cutie and the sisters, and nodded cheerfully to Mrs. Liu.
"Well, it's very good. Compared with Serena and Jingyao, they both have their own merits."
"I think so too, then?"
"Don't worry, let's see what the gangster says first."
"Hey, I understand."
Liu Mingzhi walked to the main seat and sat down, then picked up a cup of tea from the table next to him and took a sip.
"Brother, Baoyu, ladies and gentlemen, drink tea, drink tea."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Liu Mingzhi glanced vaguely at Zhou Tong'er, who was sitting on the chair next to the little cutie, and happily put down the tea cup in his hand.
"Baoyu."
"I'm here."
"Baoyu, we have been brothers for so many years, and you know very well what my young master's character is like.
Therefore, I will speak frankly about some things, Mr. Ben."
Zhou Baoyu has been working under Mr. Liu for so many years, so he naturally knows quite well what Mr. Liu's character is like.
Therefore, when Liu Mingzhi said this, he just thought about it for a moment and already knew what Young Master Liu wanted to say.
"well!"
Zhou Baoyu sighed silently in his heart, caressed the tea lid in his hand, looked at Young Master Liu and nodded with a smile.
"Yes, yes, I understand.
Your Majesty, just tell me what you have to say, I am all ears."
After hearing Zhou Baoyu's answer, Young Master Liu knew that Zhou Baoyu had understood what he meant.
He nodded with a smile, and then turned his attention to Zhang Wanjun.
"Mrs. sister-in-law."
"My concubine is here."
"Since Baoyu has said so, I will speak out bluntly, little brother."
As the wife of Zhou Baoyu, Zhang Wanjun can naturally listen to what Young Master Liu wants.
She turned her head to glance at her husband and nodded with a smile.
"Your Majesty, please speak. I am also listening attentively."
Liu Mingzhi nodded slightly and looked directly at Liu Chengqian, Zhou Tong'er and the other two lovers.
Zhou Tong'er felt the gaze of Young Master Liu and obviously realized what Young Master Liu was going to say.
She quickly took a peek at her sweetheart who was sitting diagonally across from him, and her heart suddenly became confused. She lowered her head shyly with her pretty eyes.
"Baoyu, Madam-in-law, I wonder how you and your wife have discussed the marriage between Cheng Qian and Tong'er?"
Hearing Young Master Liu's direct question, everyone in the living room had mixed reactions.
Qi Yun, the third princess, the queen and the other sisters were naturally all smiles.
Liu Yiyi, Liu Chengfeng, Liu Chengzhi, Xiao Keai and their brothers and sisters looked at Liu Chengqian, Zhou Tong'er and the others with narrow eyes.
Liu Zhi'an, Mrs. Liu and his wife laughed happily.
The two people who reacted the most were undoubtedly Liu Chengqian and Zhou Tong'er.
After the two of them heard Young Master Liu's words, one stretched out his hand to scratch his head and smiled in embarrassment, while the other, with a blushing face and beautiful eyes, lowered his head shyly, holding the corners of his clothes with a pair of jade hands and gently stirring them. Got up.
When Zhou Baoyu and Zhang Wanjun saw their daughter react like this, how could they still not know what their daughter was thinking?
The couple understood without thinking carefully that their silly daughter's heart was probably tied to Liu Chengqian.
Zhou Baoyu, Zhang Wanjun and his wife looked at each other, stood up and bowed to Young Master Liu tacitly.
"Your Majesty, regarding the life-long affairs of the third prince and my daughter, it is entirely up to your Majesty."
"Returning to Your Majesty, I would like to express my concubine's advice to you."
As soon as Zhou Baoyu and his wife finished speaking, everyone in the hall had different expressions again.
The third princess took a deep breath and covered the tea lid in her hand with a smile as bright as a flower.
Liu Mingzhi raised his brows slightly, smiled and held up his hands to Zhou Baoyu and his wife.
"No need to be polite, sit down quickly, sit down quickly."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Liu Mingzhi gave the third princess a look, smiled lightly and looked at Zhou Tong'er, who was tasting tea and pretending to be calm.
"Tong'er girl."
Zhou Tong'er immediately put down the tea cup in his hand and raised his eyes to look at Mr. Liu.
"My little girl is here."
"My uncle asked you, are you willing to marry a brat like Cheng Gan?"
Zhou Tong'er's delicate body trembled slightly, her beautiful eyes glanced at her parents shyly, and she quickly stood up and bowed to Liu Dashaofu.
"To tell you what my uncle said, it's up to the parents to make the decision for a little girl."
Anyone with a discerning eye knows that when it comes to life-long matters, as long as a woman makes the final decision based on her parents, it means that she no longer has any opinions in her heart.
"Okay, okay, sit down, sit down."
"Thank you uncle."
Liu Mingzhi casually grabbed a handful of melon seeds from the tray and looked at Qi Yun, the third princess, Qinglian and the other sisters with a smile.
"Yun'er, Yan'er."
"I am here."
"Whenever you sisters have free time, immediately send someone to inform you that Supervisor Qin Tian is coming to your home.
We will try to finalize the wedding date of Cheng Qian and Tong Er Yatou within a month."
After listening to her husband's instructions, Qi Yun, the three princesses and the sisters looked at each other, stood up with smiling eyes and bowed to Liu Dashaofu.
"Yes, I understand, my sisters."
Liu Mingzhi chuckled and nodded, leaning over and spitting out the melon seed shells from the corner of his mouth.
"sit down."
"Hey, thank you husband."
Young Master Liu cracked the melon seeds and looked at Young Master Liu again.
Just when he was about to speak, Xiao Wu's shouts suddenly came from outside the hall.
"Master Qi, I would like to see you."
Liu Mingzhi raised his eyebrows and looked directly out of the hall door.
"come in."
"yes."
Liu Mingzhi looked at Xiao Wu who ran in, and asked with a faint smile: "Xiao Wu, who is here to pay New Year's greetings again?"
"Back to the young master, Wei Fu and Tong Fu from the cabinet, as well as the six ministers, the ministers of the nine major temples, as well as many princes and marquises... came to visit me to pay New Year's greetings."
Liu Mingzhi put the melon seeds in his hand back into the tray, turned his head and looked towards the door of the mansion.
"Xia Gongming, the chief minister of the cabinet, and Mr. Xia Aiqing are not here?"
"Back to the young master, Mr. Xia is not among them."
"Okay, let them come to the living room."
"Yes, I will obey, little one."
Just as Xiao Wu was about to turn around and leave, Liu Dashao suddenly stretched out his hand to signal.
"etc."
"Master?"
"It's still the same. It was the young ladies who asked them to come."
"Yes, I understand, little one."
"Well, go ahead."
"I obey, I will resign."
After Xiao Wu trotted away, Young Master Liu stood up, stretched, and looked at Qi Yun and the other sisters with a faint smile.
"Yun'er, Yan'er, Sister Ya, Sister Shan, Xiaoxi, I have to work hard for you again."
Qi Yun, the third princess, Xue Bizhu, Ling Weier and the other sisters looked at each other, and they all looked at Liu Mingzhi and nodded with a wry smile.
"Yes, I understand, my sisters."
Liu Mingzhi adjusted his cloak and turned to look at Liu Zhi'an.
"Old man, your good brother has come to our house to pay New Year greetings. Why don't you go and greet him?"
Liu Zhi'an put down the teacup in his hand and rolled his eyes angrily.
"Let me welcome him? Is he worthy?"
Liu Zhi'an said unpleasant words, but still got up and walked out of the living room.
"Madam, let's go greet Lao Song."
"Hey, sir, please."
Liu Mingzhi watched as the figures of Liu Zhi'an and his wife gradually disappeared, and he happily walked towards the hall door.
"Chengqian."
Liu Cheng stood up suddenly and looked at his father with a puzzled expression.
"father?"
"You brat, it's snowing heavily outside, and the snow scene is really pleasing to the eye.
The snow scene in our garden is quite nice, don’t you want to take Tong’er to enjoy the snow scene in our house?”
Liu Chengqian heard his father's meaningful tone and nodded vigorously in realization.
"Yes, yes, my child understands, my child understands."
"Tong'er."
"Why."
Liu Chenggan smiled and scratched his head, pointing to the snowy scene outside the living room.
"I...I'll invite you to enjoy the snow."
Zhou Tong'er took a peek at her parents and nodded shyly with her beautiful eyes.
"Um!"
"Hey hey hey, let's go then."
"Um!"
Liu Mingzhi walked unhurriedly to the courtyard, raised his head and stared at the flying snow in the sky, and skillfully lit a pot of dry smoke.
"Komatsu."
"The little one is here."
Young Master Liu blew out a puff of smoke and waved to Liu Song with a smile.
"Come here with your ears."
"yes."
Liu Song stopped and leaned towards Young Master Liu.
"Master, tell me."
Young Master Liu tilted his head slightly and whispered to Liu Song in a low voice.
Soon.
Liu Song bowed respectfully to Young Master Liu and hurried towards the gate of Liu Mansion.
"I understand, little one, please leave first."
Watching Liu Song's retreating figure, Young Master Liu took a puff of his cigarette and turned to face Song Qing, Zhou Baoyu and Zhou Baoyu who had already stood up in the living room and waved.
"Brother, Baoyu."
Song Qing and Zhou Baoyu heard this and hurriedly came towards Young Master Liu to greet them.
"I'm here."
"Oh, brother, Baoyu, there really aren't that many rules in private.
If you are like this, I will fall out with you, young master."
"Hehehe, third brother."
"Handsome."
"That's pretty much it. Let's go have a drink."
"no problem."
"Just as you wish."
"Jiuniu, Mingjie."
"Brother?"
"come over."
"coming."
"Chengfeng, Chengzhi, Zhenghao, Zhengran."
"The child is here."
"Come here too, your brothers."
"Yes, my child obeys."
Liu Mingzhi looked at the people gathered around him and happily pointed in the direction of the garden.
