Chapter five hundred and sixteenth flattery carry the handle
"Old man! Is it delicious?"
Liu Zhi'an squinted his eyes, holding a melon that was already turning white, and said something against his will: "It's okay, just make do with it."
"Since you can barely make ends meet, let me give this piece to my mother. You don't like eating it anyway."
As soon as the cold wind passed by, the watermelon in Young Master Liu's hand had disappeared and flew into Liu Zhi'an's hand: "Your mother is pregnant and can't eat too much cold food, so I'd better eat it."
"Dad, you can't eat too much cold food now that you are old, how about I help you eat it?"
Liu Mingli stared at the watermelon in Liu Zhian's hand and kept swallowing his saliva, wishing he could take it for himself immediately.
"No, your body bones are still too tender. Dad can't watch you suffer. Dad will eat it."
"I'm not afraid. I can share my worries for my father. Let me bear all the pain alone."
"No, if dad is still the breadwinner of the family, you won't need to share the burden."
After saying this, before Liu Mingli could react, he destroyed the last piece of watermelon.
Liu Mingli's mouth twitched as he looked at the watermelon rind spinning on the ground. He wanted to cry but couldn't.
Liu Xuan seemed to feel something, and held the two pieces of watermelon tightly in her arms. The eldest brother said that Xuan'er is the treasure of the family and should eat so much.
"Liu Mingli, if you dare to touch Xuan'er's watermelon, do you believe that my elder brother will tear it apart for you?"
Looking at Liu Mingli's malicious eyes, Young Master Liu threatened him.
Liu Mingli suddenly felt weak. He was not a match for the boss now, so he could only endure it. When he came to the top, he would definitely take revenge and avenge his previous humiliation.
Liu Mingzhi shook his head helplessly. It was not that he was partial. There were three watermelons, and Liu Zhian and Liu Mingli devoured more than one and a half.
It is the first time to eat this kind of fruit. If you eat too much, you will feel uncomfortable.
They have to limit their appetite, and mainly the number of watermelons is really limited.
Seven melon seeds grew into six melon seedlings. Liu Mingzhi cut some melon seedlings from them and cultivated them with a trial attitude to get a total of sixteen watermelons.
There are only about seven or eight watermelons that grow into the size of basketballs, and only eight or nine are half-sized. The remaining five or six are only about the size of a fist. Whether they can grow to full size remains to be seen.
It's not enough to just let them all fuss over each other. Liu Mingzhi also plans to give two more to Li Zheng.
There is no way, who let others be the leader of Dalong, and I am just a younger brother, how can I do it if I don't fawn over, others don't have this opportunity.
Liu Mingzhi knew very well that it was best to enjoy the shade under a big tree. Now that he had the largest tree in the world at his back, he had to take good care of himself to ensure that the Liu family would not suffer disaster.
Madam Liu, Qi Yun and the others looked at the three bickering men and chuckled and shook their heads.
Perhaps only my father and son can be so harmonious in the world.
A family is a family where father and son take turns to play off their tempers.
"You guys eat first, I'll go to the palace."
Liu Mingzhi held two watermelons and was about to go out to fawn over.
Liu Zhi'an didn't say anything when he saw this. He naturally understood what Mr. Liu was thinking.
Now that his son has grown up, he has his own opinions and can distinguish right from wrong, and Liu Zhi'an no longer worries about everything.
Especially after I learned that Young Master Liu had been granted the title of earl, I was even more pleased. I bowed to the ancestors of the Liu family again and again. After all, my ancestors were still alive in heaven.
Therefore, the idea of letting Mr. Liu start his own business became more and more intense. Liu Zhi'an knew that his status as a merchant family would sooner or later become the fetters of the eldest son.
In the future, in the court, his identity as the eldest son of a merchant will restrict him. Only by establishing his own business and becoming an independent powerful person is the best help to Young Master Liu.
The Liu family became Liu Mingzhi's behind-the-scenes supporters. As long as he was willing to spend money, Liu Mingzhi's status would not be shaken.
"Don't lose your sense of proportion."
"Don't worry, my son has grown up."
Liu Zhi'an waved his hand happily, indicating that Young Master Liu could get out.
"Xuan'er, can daddy discuss something with you?"
"don't want!"
Liu Xuan hugged her watermelon and shook her head hastily.
"Being disrespectful to the elderly."
Hearing Liu Zhian's words behind him, Liu Mingzhi shook his head and left the backyard.
"Liu Song, prepare the car to go to the palace."
"Yes, Master."
After a cup of tea, Liu Mingzhi drove slowly towards the palace in a carriage.
At the same time, three figures appeared in front of Liu's house and knocked on the door.
"Hey, old Jia, why is it you again? Is there no one in the palace? Why was it that you were the one guarding the door when I entered the palace that time?"
Jia Zhengjing, Commander Jia, glared at Young Master Liu angrily: "I just went to court and didn't have half a day to spare. Why did you come back? If you don't know, you would have thought that the palace is your home!"
Young Master Liu smiled lightly and patted the carriage: "I got some gadgets and sent them to His Majesty, please check them quickly."
"You have gadgets every day. Your reputation as a sycophant, Liu Da, is now known to everyone. The two prime ministers, Tong Xiang and Wei Xiang, are not as diligent as you in entering the palace."
Commander Jia pulled the watermelon in the carriage twice: "What is this colorful thing?"
"watermelon."
"watermelon?"
"That's right, there are new fruits from the Western Regions. I'll give you two some to try when there are more. I can't do that now, and I don't have many."
Looking at the carriage entering the palace, Commander Jia shook his head in confusion: "Why are there so many interesting things in the Western Region?"
"Long live my emperor, Liu Mingzhi."
After Fuhai reported it, he led Young Master Liu directly into the imperial study room.
There is nothing I can do about it. He is a familiar and familiar visitor. Countless people in the palace did not know that Lord Liu had become a frequent visitor in the palace. Not only His Majesty, but also the ladies in the harem were full of praise for him.
Young Master Liu's mirror is still very popular in the palace. This is the nature of women to love beauty and cannot be ignored.
Not to mention anything else, even Her Majesty the Queen of the Kingdom of Jin cherishes the full-length mirror very much. Well, this is the charm.
Li Zheng put down the memorial in his hand and looked at Mr. Liu who walked in with two watermelons: "Liu Aiqing, why did you enter the palace again less than half a day after going to court? If you like staying in the palace so much, why not just
Just stay, Mr. Zhu of Tsinghua Palace is getting old these days, how about you take his place and take charge of Tsinghua Palace?"
The Qinghua Hall was the place where the emperor bathed and changed clothes. The leading eunuch in the Qinghua Hall was also considered the emperor's personal attendant and was quite favored. It seemed that Li Zheng was quite good to Young Master Liu.
He was directly rewarded with the position of foreman eunuch, and others may not be able to get there even after struggling for several years or more.
"Your Majesty is joking. I don't have that kind of blessing. Let's forget it. Let's talk about it next time."
Li Zheng smiled lightly and shook his head: "What did you bring me again?"
"watermelon."
"Watermelon? From the Western Regions again?"
"No, it comes from the West."
"Western!" Li Zheng showed a hint of melancholy after hearing this. He walked to the map presented by Young Master Liu with his hands behind his back and stared at it: "Liu Aiqing, do you think I will have a chance to show off my skills on this land in my lifetime?"
"Your Majesty, as a result of his martial ethics, will stop Dalong's ship here sooner or later."
"The naval office in the south of the Yangtze River has purchased a large amount of shipbuilding timber. After I pacify the Turks and recover the Kingdom of Jin, I can let Dalong's soldiers sail to the Western Seas."
"Euphemism"
"Liu Aiqing, what did you say?"
"No one said that Your Majesty will be able to outshine the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors."
