"Oh, is it that exaggerated?"
Liu Mingzhi refilled a glass of wine for himself and looked at Liu Zhi'an calmly.
"Old man, what do you think?"
Liu Zhian stared at Young Master Liu calmly for a while, then nodded with a faint smile.
"I know very well how strong your character is.
From your kid's mouth, you can actually say these four words, it seems that you are really under a lot of pressure."
Liu Mingzhi placed the wine bottle on the low table and stared at the float on the water with a look full of vicissitudes of life.
"It doesn't matter if the pressure is too high. I'm afraid I might fall into the water accidentally."
Liu Zhi'an lit a pot of dry smoke, held the pipe with his eyes slightly narrowed, and started puffing away at the smoke.
"I heard that your son will be crown prince and crown prince this year. Have you decided which child to crown?"
When Young Master Liu heard this, his expression was slightly startled, and he looked towards Liu Zhi'an with doubtful eyes.
"Old man, who did you hear about this?"
Liu Zhi'an didn't hide anything. He glanced at Young Master Liu with a faint smile and said directly: "Your mother."
"Hmm? You heard about it from my mother?"
"right."
"Really? It's just that I don't remember when I mentioned to my mother that I plan to appoint a crown prince this year?"
Liu Zhi'an slowly exhaled a puff of smoke: "While you were chatting with Ya'er, your mother overheard the conversation between the two of you when she passed by.
Then, she informed me about this matter."
After listening to Liu Zhi'an's explanation, Young Master Liu nodded with sudden realization.
"I see."
Seeing Young Master Liu's reaction, Liu Zhi'an raised his eyebrows with a half-smile.
"You believe it now, aren't you afraid that I will lie to you?"
Young Master Liu nodded, drank a glass of wine, turned to look at Liu Zhi'an, smiled and shook his head.
"Sister Ya is my young master's wife. We have been sleeping together as husband and wife for decades. I know best what kind of character Sister Ya is like, my young master.
I know very well that Sister Ya is not the kind of person with a big mouth.
Moreover, I didn't intend to hide this matter deliberately.
Otherwise, I would not have chatted with Sister Ya in the courtyard about the appointment of the crown prince and heir apparent.
Besides, I know your character very well, old man.
As for my young master, I want to establish the crown prince and crown prince. It is certainly a very important matter for the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty.
However, for you, old man, it is nothing too important.
So, there is absolutely no need for you to lie to me about something you don’t care about at all."
Liu Zhi'an smiled and nodded, then picked up his teacup.
"Hehehe, you see it quite clearly."
"Then you see, it is a very simple matter."
Liu Zhi'an took a sip of the wine, was silent for a moment thoughtfully, and glanced at Mr. Liu lightly.
"Have you decided who to appoint as the crown prince?"
"Think about it, kid Chengzhi."
Hearing Young Master Liu's answer, Liu Zhi'an stopped slightly while drinking, and a subtle look of surprise flashed in his eyes.
Immediately afterwards, his eyes returned to calmness, and he took a sip of the drink with his usual expression.
"Is this child Chengzhi?"
Listening to Liu Zhi'an's tone, Young Master Liu frowned slightly, gently turned the wine glass in his hand, and looked at him with strange eyes.
"Why, do you think Chengzhi is not a suitable child?"
Liu Zhi'an looked at Mr. Liu's strange eyes and waved his hand with a smile.
"Very good, very good."
Young Master Liu picked up the pot and poured a glass of wine for Liu Zhi'an, and nodded with a half-smile.
"Old man, are you telling the truth?
Why do I feel that your tone has a vague meaning of insincerity?"
Liu Zhi'an immediately glared at Young Master Liu angrily, raised his head and drank the wine in the glass in one gulp.
After wiping the drink from the corner of his mouth with his fingers, he placed the wine glass heavily on the low table next to him.
"You bastard, of course I am telling the truth. When did I not mean what I said? Don't you fucking set a trap for me."
Young Master Liu raised his eyebrows slightly, and after refilling Liu Zhi'an's glass of wine, he sneered slightly.
"Hehehe, old man, shouldn't your reaction now be called anger?"
Liu Zhi'an took a long puff of dry cigarette and rolled his eyes at Young Master Liu with a look of disgust.
"I'm so embarrassed about your grandma...your aunt and grandma's legs, go to hell with your mother."
Young Master Liu smiled nonchalantly at the old man's curses. He cheerfully picked up his wine glass and took two sips of the drink.
"Old man, what you just said, are you really sincere?"
"Nonsense, of course it's my sincere words."
Young Master Liu took a long breath, chuckled and shook his head: "Hehehe, I don't believe it."
Liu Zhi'an's face froze, and the corners of his eyes twitched involuntarily.
"You bastard, if you don't fucking believe me, then why are you asking me?"
When Young Master Liu was about to say something, Liu Yuan suddenly stood up and pointed toward the water with an excited expression.
"Master, master, there is a fish hooked."
Liu Zhi'an's face lit up, he hurriedly put down the pipe in his hand, and grabbed the fishhook in his hand with excitement.
“Hahaha, finally a fish took the bait, and with such strength, it seems to be a big deal.
Liu Yuan, prepare the fish basket quickly."
"Okay, old slave, get ready now."
Liu Zhi'an smiled and grabbed the fishing rod in his hand. After sliding the fish smoothly for a while, he lifted the fishing rod with force.
"Sir, the crucian carp is a crucian carp. It weighs at least two kilograms based on its size."
Liu Zhi'an's face turned pale, and he laughed and pointed at the big crucian carp still jumping alive on the hook.
"Hahaha, hahaha, okay, okay, take the hook quickly, take the hook quickly."
"Okay, leave it to the old slave."
Liu Yuan put the two-pound crucian carp into the fish basket, returned to his original position and sat down again with a smile on his face.
"Master, you have caught such a big crucian carp right from the beginning. Madam, young master, young madam, young lady, they have all taken it orally today."
Liu Zhi'an gave Mr. Liu a proud look, laughed loudly, put the bait on the fishhook, and threw the fishhook into the water again.
"Hahaha, it's trivial, it's trivial.
It’s just a small crucian carp weighing more than two kilograms, where is it?”
Seeing the proud expression of his old man, Mr. Liu leaned forward and looked at his float.
When he saw that his float was just floating quietly on the water without any movement at all, he sat upright with a look of disappointment on his face.
"Indeed, it's just a small crucian carp weighing more than two pounds. It's really just a trivial matter."
"Hehehe, Xiaowei is indeed Xiaowei, why don't you catch a Xiaowei and show it to me?
