Facing these three old foxes, each one is smarter than the last and more difficult to deal with than the last.
If I want to catch the three of them through the loopholes in their words, it will really not be an easy task.
Of course, the reason why I think so in my heart is not because I have any dissatisfaction with the three of them.
He didn't even think about what to do to the three old foxes.
Mainly because the three of them would always make jokes in front of me and pretend to be confused, which was really annoying.
Master, am I, the king of a country, not enlightened enough?
Don’t you know that since the day when I, the current emperor, this young master officially ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor?
As for today, more than seven years have passed, nearly eight years.
During these seven years and more, among the hundreds of civil and military officials who ranked second in the court, was there any official who was convicted of a crime for his speech?
In addition, among all the officials in various state capitals, is there any official who has been convicted for his speech?
Let’s just talk about the current chief minister of the cabinet, Xia Gongming, that old miscellaneous... old... Mr. Xia.
Over the years, Mr. Xia has mercilessly attacked me, the king of the country, in court, so many times that I can hardly remember it.
There were several times when Mr. Xia almost pointed at my nose and rebuked me.
Xia Gongming has already made it this far, what if I don’t give him up in the end?
Moreover, instead of doing anything to this young master, I actually provided him with delicious food and drink.
Sometimes, you have to use kind words and persuasion to coax him.
Afraid that he might not be able to take a breath and suddenly die accidentally, he drove west to meet the late Emperor Ruizhong.
Damn it, this young master and I, the king of a country, are already like this.
As the king of a country, am I not liberal enough?
Throughout the past dynasties, the relationship between monarchs and ministers has been able to get along to this point. If you count carefully on your fingers, how many people can you find?
Under such circumstances, if there is any issue between our monarch and his ministers, wouldn’t it be enough to speak openly and honestly?
The results of it?
These old foxes, big and small, have to play with their little thoughts and tricks.
They have to pretend to be confused about some things that are obviously very clear to you.
For such a situation, how could I not have any resentment in my heart?
After all, I am not a saint who doesn't care about anything.
It's a pity that these old foxes are too cunning.
Under normal circumstances, I wouldn't be able to find any clues about them.
Liu Mingzhi reacted from his silence, glanced sideways at the three Song and Qing people who were puffing away the clouds, and shook his head with a chuckle.
Immediately, he chuckled and turned his attention to Krich.
Okay, for now, let’s continue discussing the official business of the Joint Chamber of Commerce with Creech.
As for other issues, it’s not too late to wait until you have free time in the future to deal with them slowly.
"Krich."
Hearing this, Krich quickly raised his hand to fan the light smoke lingering in front of him.
"Hey, are you there, Mr. Liu?"
Liu Mingzhi looked at the light smoke in front of him and narrowed his eyes slightly.
Immediately, he first raised the jade fan in his hand and gently fanned the light smoke in front of him a few times, then leaned directly over the soles of his feet and knocked out the handful of shredded tobacco that had only been smoked in the pot.
When the tobacco fell to the ground, it was still burning.
The light curls of smoke rose slowly from the handful of tobacco.
Liu Dashu saw the situation, chuckled and directly raised his right foot to step on the tobacco and twisted it silently a few times.
Song Qing, Zhang Kuang, and Nangong Ye saw Young Master Liu's behavior and exchanged vague glances with each other. They all hurriedly leaned over and knocked out the shredded tobacco from their own smoking pots, and then stepped on it.
.
Zhang Kuang and the others knew very well that Young Master Liu's intention in asking for shredded tobacco just now was not to have a pot of dry tobacco at all.
As for what his real purpose is, the three of them understand it tacitly!
Seeing Song and Qing's unintentional actions, Keric looked stunned for a moment, and then he hurriedly bent over and knocked out the tobacco pot under his feet. He had only smoked about half of the shredded tobacco.
When he straightened up and stamped out the tobacco on the ground, he immediately looked at Young Master Liu again with a confused look on his face.
"Mr. Liu?"
Young Master Liu looked at Krich's confused expression, gently shook the jade fan in his hand, and turned back to look outside the room.
He casually glanced at the drizzle that still hadn't stopped outside the door, and turned back with a faint smile.
"Krich, have you had lunch?"
Hearing Young Master Liu's question, Krich subconsciously shook his head.
"Mr. Hui Liu, not yet."
Liu Mingzhi chuckled and raised his eyebrows twice. He gently shook the Wanli Jiangshan engraved jade fan in his hand with one hand, and casually placed it on the table with the other hand and tapped lightly on the rice paper under his fingertips.
"Krich, according to the time on our side of the dragon, it should be around noon now.
At noon, it’s time to have lunch.”
When Krich heard what Mr. Liu said, the look on his face was instinctively startled.
Soon, he reacted.
After muttering to himself in a hurry, Krich looked at Mr. Liu with a smile on his face, and then glanced at his fingers that were tapping lightly on several pieces of rice paper. Suddenly, something appeared in front of his eyes.
One light.
In an instant, he vaguely understood something.
Young Master Liu looked at Krich's reaction of sudden realization, gently shook the jade fan in his hand, and couldn't help but raise a faint smile at the corner of his mouth.
Otherwise, smart people like to deal with smart people the most?
Because sometimes, dealing with smart people is a very easy thing.
Krich let out a silent sigh with an indifferent expression, and immediately turned his head and glanced at Amina, Kriiko, and Tinia sitting on both sides of him.
"lady."
"Hey, I'm here.
Master, what’s wrong?”
"Madam, why are you still sitting there?
Didn't you hear Mr. Liu say that it's time for lunch? Why don't you hurry up and prepare for the banquet?"
As soon as Krich finished speaking, he immediately winked at Amina calmly.
Amina caught Creech's eye gestures, and suddenly understood, she nodded a few times, and then stood up from the chair.
"Hey, okay, okay, I understand. I will prepare a banquet right away."
Seeing that his wife had realized his extension, Keric breathed a sigh of relief.
"Tiniya, Iko."
"Hey, the kid is here."
"My daughter-in-law is here."
"Tiniya, Iko, your mother may be too busy to prepare for the banquet by herself.
You two, stop sitting here and go help your mother together."
"Yeah, yeah, kid, I understand."
"Hey, my daughter-in-law understands."
Amina silently glanced at her daughter-in-law and daughter who had stood up on both sides, and looked at Krich with a tangled eyebrow and a frown.
It’s easy to prepare a banquet, but what kind of banquet should be prepared?
When Creech saw that his wife had not left yet, he immediately frowned pretending to be unhappy.
"Madam, why are you still standing here? Go prepare the banquet!"
Hearing her husband's urging words, Amina nodded hesitantly a few times, and immediately waved to Kriiko and Tinia.
"Ike, Tinia, you two quickly follow me to prepare the banquet."
"Hey, it's coming, it's coming."
"Okay, here it comes, come on."
As if he didn't see Amina's hesitant reaction, Young Master Liu chuckled and closed the jade fan in his hand, then turned to look at the little cutie.
"Yue'er."
"Hey, Dad?"
"Stinky girl, you and Yike girl haven't seen each other for several days.
Today we are visiting as guests, Yi Ke, you two sisters are able to charge, what do you think you are doing here all the time?
Go, go, go and catch up with your sister Yi Ke."
The little cutie rolled her eyes twice, then stood up from the chair with a slight smile.
"Yeah, daddy, Yue'er knows. Yue'er will go and reminisce with Sister Yike right now."
As the little cutie spoke, she came to Kriiko's side with smiling eyes, and stretched out her hand to hold Kriiko's arm with a sweet smile.
"Sister Yike, this is the first time for me to be a guest in your home today.
You, the master, have to lead me around for a while."
Keliike looked at the cute little girl with a cute smile and nodded hurriedly a few times.
"Yeah, yeah, sister Yue'er, I'm going to take you around now."
Little cutie, Keli and the others were laughing softly, and walked straight out of the room with light steps and graceful manners.
Liu Mingzhi watched Amina go, and after the beautiful figures of the little cuties and the others gradually faded away, he stood up from the chair with a lazy expression, stretched out his arms with a smile.
"Krich."
When Krich saw that Young Master Liu had already stood up, he hurriedly stood up from his chair and bowed to Young Master Liu with a respectful expression.
"Mr. Liu?"
Liu Mingzhi let out a silent breath, and happily set off and walked directly out of the room.
"Krich, what's that? Master, I drank too much tea and felt a little anxious for a while.
Tell me where your hut is located? I plan to go there for convenience."
Listening to Mr. Liu's questioning words, Krich hurriedly waved his hand sideways.
"Mr. Liu, I will show you the way. Please come this way, please come this way."
Young Master Liu paused for a moment and looked back with a smile at Zhang Kuang, Nangong Ye and Song Qing who were still sitting on the chairs.
"Uncles and eldest brother, we drank a lot on the carriage.
I'm a little anxious, young master, so aren't you three anxious?"
When Song and Qing heard this, they stood up from their chairs and immediately followed Liu and Shao who had already walked out of the room.
"Oh, I'm anxious, I'm anxious.
Third brother, as a brother, I have already been a little anxious.
It's just that I just saw that you, third brother, and brother Krich have been talking about business.
As a result, I had no choice but to endure it.
Now, with the third brother asking you this question, of course I will go and make it convenient for you."
"Hehehe, Qing'er, I thought I was the only one like this!"
"Hahaha, second the motion, second the motion."
Young Master Liu glanced angrily at the Song and Qing trio who had hurriedly followed, and waved to Krich with a faint smile.
"Brother Crich, it's somewhat indecent to go to the latrine for convenience.
Therefore, you don't have to help me and the rest of us lead the way.
You just need to tell us the approximate location of the latrine."
When Krich heard what Mr. Liu said, he quickly pointed in the direction of the corner not far away.
"Mr. Liu, that place is the latrine."
"Okay, okay, I understand, young master. Let's see you later."
As soon as Mr. Liu finished speaking, he casually put the jade fan in his hand into his cuff, and then walked quickly towards the place where Krich just mentioned, against the drizzle in front of him.
When Song and Qing saw this, they immediately set out to follow.
Krich watched the four people's backs gradually disappearing, frowning slightly and turning his eyes a few times.
Shao Qing, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he hurriedly set off and headed straight for Amina, while Kriyiko and the others flew away in the direction they left.
It took about thirty breaths.
Krich has already followed in the footsteps of Amina and Tinia.
"Madam! Madam!"
Amina heard her husband's words coming from behind her, and quickly turned around and looked at Krich behind her.
"Sir, you can catch up.
Do you know? In just a short while, I was almost sweating on my anxious forehead.
Master, tell me quickly how to prepare for the banquet for Mr. Liu and the others?"
The little cutie heard the voices of Mr. and Mrs. Krich coming from behind. He held Krich's arm with a smile and speeded up his pace intentionally or unintentionally.
"Sister Yi Ke, the layout of your house is unusual!"
"Oh, sister Yue'er, no matter how good the layout of our house is, can it still compare to those in the royal palace?"
When Cliffie saw the little cutie and his good daughter gradually disappearing, he immediately turned his head and turned his attention to Amina's charming and pretty face.
"lady."
"Hey, sir?"
"Madam, listen to me.
You don't need to worry about the situation over there, Miss Liu and Yi Ke, that stinky girl. You will immediately send someone to the front to inform Al.
He was told to rush to the Zuixian Restaurant on East Street as quickly as possible, which was run by Dalong merchant, and book a first-class banquet.
Then, the food and wine will be delivered to our homes as quickly as possible."
"Okay, okay, I understand. Master, do you have any other instructions?"
After a moment of silence with a slight frown on his brow, Krich suddenly widened his eyes.
"Yes, yes, don't forget to tell Al, this means that the banquet must have two dishes, chicken and fish.
No matter what kind of preparation, these two dishes cannot be missed."
