Liu Mingzhi nodded slightly, and then looked at Song Qing happily, and Zhou Baoyu's sons waved.
"Jiang'er, Yang'er, Chen'er..."
When Song Yang and Zhou Chen brothers heard about this, they hurriedly walked to Young Master Liu and bowed.
"My nephew is here."
"You brothers also come to drink together. Chengfeng, Chengzhi, Chengqian, Zhenghao and you brothers often go out together to hang out.
Today is the Spring Festival, a day of joy, so you brothers and others are drinking freely and try to get drunk from it."
"Yes, my nephew obeys the order, thank you uncle."
"Sister Ya."
"Hey, I'm here."
"Sister Ya, let's go to the garden first. Instruct the maids to deliver several large jars of peach blossom wine to the Snow Viewing Pavilion as soon as possible.
By the way, prepare some more dishes to go with the wine."
"Yes, I understand. Husband, please go over first. I will immediately tell the maids to send you the food and wine."
Young Master Liu smiled and took a puff of his cigarette and walked out of the courtyard first.
Seeing this, brothers Liu Chengfeng and Liu Chengzhi smiled faintly and moved half of their bodies to signal.
"Uncle, Uncle Zhou, Uncle Jiuniu, and Third Uncle, please invite me too."
Zhou Baoyu directly raised his arms to wrap his arms around Liu Chengfeng and Liu Chengzhi's shoulders. He laughed loudly and pulled the two brothers towards Young Master Liu.
"You two brats, why should I be polite to my uncle? Let's go together."
"Okay, let's listen to uncle."
Song Qing happily lit a pot of dry smoke, turned around and looked at Liu Mingjie, Jiuniu and others and gestured in the direction of the garden.
"Brother Jiuniu, Mingjie, let's go too."
"Okay, brother, please."
"Let's go together, let's go together."
Qi Ya watched Liu Mingzhi and his party gradually disappearing, and immediately walked towards her personal maid Ping'er.
"Ping'er."
"My slave is here."
Qi Ya was about to tell Ping'er about delivering wine to the Snow Pavilion when she saw the little cutie smiling and holding Liu Yaoyao's wrist, running towards the direction where Young Master Liu and his group were going.
Seeing the two sisters about to run out of the courtyard, Qi Ya immediately shouted: "Yao Yao, Yue'er."
Hearing Qi Ya's greeting, the little cutie suddenly stopped and turned towards Qi Ya with doubtful eyes.
"Hey, Aunt Ya, what's wrong?"
"Yaoyao, Yue'er, what are you doing?"
The cute little girl turned her bright eyes slightly, and said to Qi Ya with a smile: "Auntie, Sister Yue'er and Sister Yaoyao are too full, and they plan to go for a walk in the garden to relieve themselves."
When Qi Ya saw the little cutie's eyes rolling around, she knew that this girl was not telling the truth.
After all, I don’t know what kind of personality the little cutie has.
"Yeah?"
"Yeah, yeah, yeah!"
Qi Ya's mind raced and she thought quickly. She raised her eyes and looked at the direction in which Young Master Liu and the others were going. She had probably guessed what the little cutie was thinking.
"Yue'er, don't you two sisters want to go have a drink with your father, uncle, and third uncle?"
When the little cutie saw Qi Ya, she immediately guessed her purpose, and her pretty face suddenly became stiff.
"Uh! Uh! Uh! Hey hey hey, hey hey hey."
The little cutie stretched out her hand to scratch her delicate brow and smiled happily at Qi Ya.
When Liu Yaoyao saw the embarrassed look on her sister's pretty face, she laughed with the same embarrassed expression.
"Hey hey hey, aunt."
Seeing the reactions of Liu Yaoyao and the two cute sisters, how could Qi Ya not understand that she had guessed correctly?
Qi Ya chuckled and shook her head, pretending to be unhappy and waving her hands to the two sisters.
"Go, go, drink less. Your uncles and uncle Zhou are all here. You must pay attention to the image of your daughter's family.
Otherwise, let’s see how you two get married in the future.”
Hearing Qi Ya's words, Liu Yaoyao and the cute little sisters suddenly beamed with joy and nodded hurriedly.
"Yeah, yeah, Yaoyao got it."
"Hehehe, thank you, auntie."
"Go quickly, be sure to drink less."
"knew."
Qi Ya looked at the two sisters running away, turned around and whispered to the maid.
About half a day later.
Mr. Liu, a group of people from Song and Qing Dynasties.
There were also Liu Yaoyao and two cute sisters who came over later.
A large group of people braved the falling snow, talking and laughing and headed straight to the snow viewing pavilion.
When Young Master Liu and his entourage arrived outside the Snow Viewing Pavilion, the maids who had also just arrived in the garden immediately came out to greet them.
"Sisters, please see the young master."
Liu Mingzhi nodded slightly and waved his hands happily to the maids.
"Everyone is free of charge."
"Thank you, Master."
"Ping'er, how are you preparing?"
"In reply to the young master, all the wine and food have been put on the table, the stove is also ready, and the slave sisters are about to warm the wine for you!"
"Ping'er, Master, we can just warm the wine ourselves. You sisters can go do other things first."
"Yes, the slave sisters obey the order. The slave sisters will retire first."
Liu Mingzhi smiled lightly, waved his hand, and walked straight into the snow viewing pavilion.
After he sat on the main seat, he smiled and waved his hands to everyone who came after him.
"Brother, Baoyu, Jiuniu... please take a seat."
"OK."
"Thank you, brother."
"Thank you, daddy."
"Thank you uncle."
Liu Mingzhi cracked a few melon seeds and looked at Liu Yaoyao and the cute little sisters with a smile.
"Yaoyao, Yue'er, you two warm the wine."
"Hey, I got it."
"Eldest brother, Baoyu, Jiuniu, Mingjie, Chengfeng... If any of you don't want to drink warm wine, start pouring wine."
"Third brother, since my body is so hot, I won't drink warm wine."
"Commander, what should I drink? Why don't we drink first?"
"My nephew seconded the proposal."
Song Qing happily lifted up a wine jar, raised his hand and gently patted off the sealing mud, then turned around and handed the wine jar to his son Song Yang.
"Yang'er, pour some wine."
"yes."
Song Yang stood up directly, and starting with Young Master Liu, he poured a large bowl of wine for everyone one by one.
Young Master Liu directly picked up the wine bowl and gestured to everyone with a faint smile.
"Come on, big brother, Baoyu, Jiuniu, let's go first."
"cheers."
"Drink together."
"Regards, brother."
"Uncle, nephew, brothers, and others would like to toast you."
Liu Mingzhi picked up the wine bowl again and looked at Song Yang, his brothers and others happily.
"Jiang'er, Chen'er, uncle is a little full from breakfast and can't drink too much wine.
You brothers toasted this bowl of wine to your uncle, and I drank it.
For drinks below, Chengfeng, Chengzhi and you brothers can just drink together."
"Yes, my nephew understands."
"Okay, uncle, my nephew will do it first as a courtesy."
"My nephew, do it first as a courtesy."
"Hahaha, hahaha, let's drink together."
Young Master Liu drank the wine in the bowl in one gulp, put down the bowl and looked at Liu Yaoyao and the two cute sisters with a smile.
"Yaoyao, Yue'er, you also have a drink with your eldest brother and the others."
"Hey, Yaoyao knows."
"Dad, I'm going to open my mouth and drink this girl!"
"Hehehe, stinky girl, as long as you are not afraid of making a fool of yourself after drinking, you can drink whatever you want."
"Hehehe, okay, daddy, all you have to say is this."
Liu Mingzhi shook his head angrily and turned to look at Song Qing, Zhou Baoyu, Jiuniu, Liu Mingjie and their brothers.
"Brother, Baoyu, I'm too full to drink. I can't drink much.
Jiuniu, Mingjie, you can just drink yours, I'll have a few drinks with you."
"No problem. Commander, when you can't drink anymore, just tell me."
"Okay, okay, then let's have another drink together."
After a while, the snow viewing pavilion became noisy.
Young Master Liu's words came first, and unless Young Master Liu took the initiative to pick up the wine glass from time to time, everyone in the pavilion stopped clinking glasses with him.
Liu Mingzhi looked at the people who were drinking happily, crossed his legs and cracked melon seeds with a smile.
After half a day.
Liu Song hurriedly ran into the snow viewing pavilion, leaned over and whispered softly into Young Master Liu's ear.
Seeing this, Song Qing, Zhou Baoyu, Liu Chengfeng and others stopped toasting each other in unison.
Liu Mingzhi smiled lightly and nodded, turning to look outside the snow viewing pavilion.
"Please."
"yes."
Song Qing, Zhou Baoyu and others followed Young Master Liu's gaze and looked outside the snow viewing pavilion. They saw Xia Gongming, the chief minister of the cabinet, standing alone in the snow flying all over the sky.
Everyone looked at each other, immediately put down their glasses and stood up.
Liu Song walked out of the hall quickly and shouted at the top of his voice.
"Mr. Xia, my young master invites you."
As soon as Liu Song finished speaking, Xia Gongming hurriedly walked toward the snow viewing pavilion, holding a simple gift box in one hand and an old oil-paper umbrella in the other.
Xia Gongming slowly walked into the snow viewing pavilion, put down the oil-paper umbrella in his hand, and was about to salute Young Master Liu.
"Old minister Xia Gongming, I would like to see your Majesty, long live my emperor.
I wish your Majesty a happy New Year."
Liu Mingzhi looked at Xia Gongming who was about to salute him, and immediately stood up and held his hands.
"Sir, no courtesy, no courtesy."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Xia Gongming thanked him, and then turned to look at Liu Chengfeng, Xiao Keai, his brothers and sisters and others.
"Old minister Xia Gongming, please see your Royal Highnesses the princes and the two princesses, they are thousands of years old.
On the New Year's Day, I would like to give you a gift."
Liu Chengzhi, Xiao Kaitai and others hurriedly raised their hands to the old man Xia Gongming.
"Sir, you are too polite. Please stop being polite."
"Oh, Mr. Xia Ge, what are you doing? Please forgive me, please forgive me."
"Sir, there is no need to be polite, there is no need to be polite."
"Thank you, Your Royal Highnesses, and thank you, Your Royal Highnesses, princesses."
After Xia Gongming stood up, he smiled lightly and bowed to Song Qing, Zhou Baoyu and the others.
"King Wuyi is a thousand years old, and he is now polite to his subordinates."
Song Qing smiled lightly and saluted Xia Gongming directly.
"Young princes, you gentlemen, I am polite to you."
Xia Gongming, a highly respected official in the court and an old scholar who abided by etiquette, insisted on giving a courtesy to everyone present.
His greeting made Song Yang, Zhou Chen and others nervous, and they hurriedly returned the salute to Xia Gongming.
"Don't dare, don't dare, my brother is waiting to pay tribute to the boss."
"Don't dare, don't dare, junior is polite."
Young Master Liu shook his head helplessly, turned back to the main seat and sat down again.
"Sir, that's enough. Come and take a seat."
"Hehehe, etiquette cannot be discarded, etiquette cannot be discarded."
Young Master Liu sat on a stone bench covered with cotton pads, and immediately picked up a pot and poured a bowl of wine.
"Sir, can you drink?"
"Your Majesty pours wine, why should I not be able to drink it?"
"Hehehe, as long as you can drink, let's have a drink together."
"Thank you for the wine, Your Majesty. I would like to offer you a bowl."
"Drink together."
As soon as Liu Mingzhi put down his wine bowl, Song Qing, Zhou Baoyu and the others picked up their wine bowls and gestured to Xia Gongming.
"Sir, let's have a drink too."
"You're welcome, you're welcome. I'd like to give you a drink."
Zhou Baoyu gently pressed the wine bowl and said cheerfully to Xia Gongming: "Sir, let's do it first out of respect. You can do whatever you want."
"Hahaha, thank you so much, Lord Marquis, for your kindness.
Although I am old, I can still drink these two bowls of fine wine.
Come, come, let’s drink together.”
"That's great, done."
Seeing this, Liu Mingzhi picked up the pot and poured a cup of peach blossom wine, then turned to look at Liu Chengfeng, Liu Chengzhi, Xiao Keai and their brothers and sisters.
"Cheng Feng, Cheng Zhi, Yue'er."
"The child is here."
"The child is here."
"Dad?"
Liu Mingzhi pursed his lips and lit a pot of tobacco again.
He looked at Liu Chengfeng, Liu Yaoyao and their brothers and sisters, slightly tilting their heads towards the outside of the snow viewing pavilion and pouting.
“The garden is filled with snow and wintersweet is in full bloom. The scenery is truly breathtaking.
Wouldn't it be nice for you young people to go to the garden to enjoy the snow, drink wine, watch the plum blossoms, and recite poems and compose poems?"
After hearing what their father said, Liu Chengfeng, Xiao Kaitai, Liu Zhenghao and their brothers and sisters looked slightly startled at first, and then they reacted.
The little cutie raised her hand and touched Liu Yaoyao's arm, and stood up with a smile.
"Father Shengming, Yue'er has already had this intention."
"Daddy is really very discerning. When the child was thinking about how to speak, dad could tell the child's thoughts at a glance."
"Dad, let's go out and drink."
"Dad, if any of us makes a masterpiece later, you have to help us taste and appreciate it."
Brothers and sisters Liu Chengfeng and Liu Yaoyao were all quick-thinking people, so they got up one after another and made their own excuses.
"Okay, okay, if any of you has made a good work, please send it directly to my father, and I will help you evaluate which one is better."
"Thank you dad."
"Father is wise."
Song Yang, Zhou Chen and others looked at each other, then stood up and bowed to Young Master Liu.
"Uncle, I'd like to excuse you my nephew."
"Hehehe, go ahead, go ahead."
Soon.
Liu Chengfeng, Xiao Kaitai and the others walked towards the outside of the snow viewing pavilion with their food and drinks.
Liu Mingzhi nodded and took a sip of wine, then turned and looked at Xia Gongming.
"My lord."
"His Majesty."
Liu Mingzhi looked at the backs of the little cutie and the others, and wiped the drink from the corner of his mouth with his fingers.
"Sir, I want to be enshrined in Mount Tai this year.
