Young Master Liu kicked open the door and walked toward the inner courtyard in a majestic manner.
"Hello, sir!"
"Master, you are back!"
"Hurry and report that the master, madam and father-in-law are back!"
Young Master Liu stayed outside the Qinzheng Palace for an entire afternoon. The news of being made a duke had already been conveyed back by the Ministry of Personnel.
A series of seals of the Duke's clothes have also been sent to the main hall of the Liu family. As a result, no one in the inner and outer courtyards of the Liu family does not know that their marquis has been ranked among the dukes.
A duke who is over twenty years old will not even be looked down upon by officials in the Ministry of Civil Affairs. He will be a highly respected minister in the future!
Who doesn't have any children or grandchildren who need support?
With Young Master Liu's current prestige, whether he is in the army or in court, speaking a few words is better than running away and breaking his legs. This is the benefit of power!
Behind him, Liu Zhi'an was holding the Duke's seal in the inner courtyard and grinning widely. When he heard Young Master Liu's voice coming from the front courtyard, his face immediately darkened.
This little bastard doesn't want to see me doing well, right?
Reluctantly, he put the Duke's seal back into the box. Liu Zhi'an sat down on a chair with a sullen face, holding an account and forcibly looking through it.
Mrs. Liu looked helplessly at the pretentious Liu Zhi'an. The father and son were simply natural enemies.
I haven't seen you for a day, and I don't think about food or tea. I've been nagging you all day about when my son will come back and whether we will encounter any dangers during the Western Expedition.
Knowing that his son had returned victorious from the Western Expedition, Liu Zhi'an was so excited that he didn't sleep a wink for three days and three nights.
I climbed to the roof at least four or five times a night and looked to the west, as if I could see Young Master Liu returning in triumph with high spirits through the thick city wall and hundreds of Dalong prefectures.
Now that my son has entered the house, he is pretending to be reserved again!
Seeing this, Qi Yun and the others could only chuckle sullenly. Maybe this is a real family!
"Father is kind and son is filial", although there is some unrest in the family, this kind of harmonious atmosphere is not found in other families!
"Haha...Old man, have you missed me?"
Liu Zhi'an looked at Young Master Liu standing outside the hall, doing a Once Upon a Time pose, and forcibly suppressed the joy in his heart.
"When you come back, just come back. Why are you crying like a ghost and howling like a wolf?"
"Um...Old man, there's something wrong with your reaction. Logically speaking, you should rush up and hold me in your arms and thank your ancestors with tears in your eyes, right?"
Liu Zhi'an casually threw the account book on the table: "Yes, it should be like this, but I didn't want to think about it when I saw your shameless look!"
"Okay, you are a father and you can be happy. Mom, after two years of not seeing my son, why do you think you are getting younger and prettier? If outsiders didn't know, they would think we are siblings!"
Mrs. Liu burst out laughing, and her fingers instantly grabbed Mr. Liu's ears: "You are such a bastard, you are so frivolous and talkative. You are almost 50 years old, so you are not as exaggerated as you said!"
Although Mrs. Liu took action, she was not willing to use force. Whenever a woman hears someone complimenting her beauty, her first reaction is to be polite and she wants to shout loudly. If you are so good at talking, please speak more!
I really can’t write a book to describe it!
"It hurts, it hurts... What my son said is true. If you don't believe me, ask the old man, Mom, are you getting younger and younger!"
Mrs. Liu looked at Liu Zhi'an who was sitting on the chair faintly: "Your father has long disliked my old age and lost sex, and he wishes he could have another concubine!"
The corner of Liu Zhi'an's mouth twitched twice, and he glared at Mr. Liu fiercely, "You little bastard, I sleep with your mother and start a fight as soon as I come back. You don't want me to be nice to you, do you?"
"Madam, madam, what are you talking about? In my heart, madam is always the most beautiful. That is to say, I have never seen what a fairy looks like, but I think that even if a fairy descends to earth, she will not be one-tenth as beautiful as madam.
pretty!"
Mrs. Liu gave Liu Zhi'an a sweet and angry look: "If you talk sweetly, you will be able to say it nicely!"
Having said that, the smile on Mrs. Liu's face has betrayed her true thoughts!
"Brother, you are back!"
Liu Mingli, holding the hand of five-year-old Liu Laosi Liu Mingjie, hurriedly ran in from outside, wondering where he had wandered off.
Liu Mingzhi turned around and looked around. Liu Mingzhi was no longer the young boy he was before. Seven years later, the childish-looking Liu Mingli had turned into a handsome young man.
He is even half a head taller than Young Master Liu, and his appearance is slightly better than Young Master Liu by three points.
Liu Mingzhi looked at Liu Mingli complicatedly: "You have grown into a young man. Time flies so fast. You were only half the height of my eldest brother at the beginning, and in a blink of an eye you were taller than him. Time flies, but the scenes of the past are still vivid in my mind.
Eyes, old, old!”
Liu Mingli sighed and nodded: "People have to grow up, but our brotherhood will never change in our lives. Mingjie, call me big brother. Don't you ask me where he is every day?"
Liu Mingjie huddled behind Liu Mingli, with half of his young face exposed, looking curiously at Mr. Liu, who was wearing armor.
"Big...brother!"
"Hey... you were just a toddler when the eldest brother left, and you have grown so big in the blink of an eye. What did your second brother take you to do? Why are you so sweaty in the winter?"
"Aha...then what, big brother, you are triumphant..."
"Going to Tianxiang Tower!"
Liu Mingli's face suddenly stiffened. Looking at the stunned Liu Zhi'an and his wife in the hall, the eldest brother and his wife gently kicked Liu Mingjie who was standing behind them.
"Xiaojie, have you forgotten what my second brother told you?"
"Son, I will kill you, you are more outrageous than your elder brother!"
Liu Zhi'an grabbed the training stick placed in the middle of the hall and rushed towards Liu Mingli while waving it.
"Dad, listen to my explanation!"
"Explain your grandma, stop for me!"
"Dad, beating won't solve the problem. Let's stop and talk the truth, okay?"
"If you break your legs, don't talk about reasoning, even if you talk about Confucius and Mencius, just stop for me!"
The familiar scene around the rockery in front of the hall was repeated seven years later.
It's just that the protagonist was changed from Liu Dashao to Liu Ershao Liu Mingli.
Young Master Liu looked at the father and son chasing each other around the rockery strangely: "I'm so old, why does this scene feel so familiar?"
"Boss, you hold down your dick, you little bastard, you are going against the grain, Mingjie is only five years old, you little bastard, you are going to heaven!"
"This...Old man, second brother, you go ahead and beat me. I'm going to change my clothes. It's inappropriate to wear armor. Old man, don't be polite. If you can't be beaten, you'll beat him to death. It's simply lawless and corrupt."
My family, the Liu family, has a good reputation. How unbecoming is it to take my brother to visit a brothel? Don’t give me face, beat him severely, it’s unbecoming!"
"Big...Hangchi...Hangchi...Brother, we have to speak based on our conscience, we have to speak based on our conscience!...Oh ho...Mom, I
Dad is determined to destroy the family, are you just going to do this and watch?"
Mrs. Liu looked at Liu Mingjie, who was confused and trembling, and looked at Liu Zhi'an: "Master, beat me to death. If I cripple my body, I will take care of him for the rest of my life!"
"Brother, sisters-in-law, blood dissolves in water, you can't just ignore them and save them!"
"Mingli, your eldest brother has just come back, and the sisters-in-law went to the inner courtyard to catch up on old times!"
