In the city of Jiangdu, on the edge of Fushou Street, a house with unique Jiangnan characteristics is located here, and the plaque hanging high above the gate is printed with two words - Liufu.

The style of the mansion is concise and elegant, the attic in the mansion is exquisite and handsome, and the whole body is restrained and generous, this is the Jiangdu Liu family house, which is full of elegant and extraordinary style.

In the courtyard, like an ink painting scene, suddenly a man walks through this "painting", his steps are fast but not urgent, and he does not lose his decency.

Wan Shuzhai, a study in Liufu, although it looks small on the surface, there is a hole inside. Because the Liu family was originally a scholarly family, there are countless ancestors who are brilliant, so they have also had a lot of careers. Later, the officialdom of the Liu family was frustrated, and they hibernated in the south of the Yangtze River, and this retreat was hundreds of years. So far, there is no official eunuch in the Jiangdu Liu family.

Although the current Liu family has long been a family of Jiangdu clans, it still retains the scholarly atmosphere of its ancestors. In this ten thousand study rooms, there are many books in the collection, and most of the various scriptures and classics in the world are collected, which can be said to not make the people of the world fall in love.

Besides, when the man came to the study, he pushed the door in, and when the door opened, an old man could be seen sitting at the table, reading books. When the old man saw the comer, he also raised his head slightly to see the comer.

The man who came in was Liu Yan, and I saw him come to the old man and bow and whispered, "Father." ”

The old man didn't react much, just nodded his head and responded slightly, as usual. The man said again: "Father, I had tea with that Li Shen yesterday. ”

The old man is the biological father of this Liu Yan, called Liu Gong, and he is also the old lady of the Liu family. Liu Gong is old, so the affairs of the Liu family are all taken care of by Liu Yan, but when he encounters some major events, Liu Yan does not dare to take care of it without authorization, so he will come to consult his father Liu Gong to discuss.

The old man Liu Gong saw that his son opened his mouth and mentioned Li Shen, the king of Guangling, so he put down the book in his hand, only to see that the old man's loving and peaceful face had a smile at this time, Liu Gong slowly got up and said: "Li Shen, the yellow-haired boy, has also learned this set, but it is no wonder that he seems to be a trick used by the emperors in previous dynasties." ”

The old man said with a hint of worry on his face: "But, even so, let's sit back and watch the changes, our Liu family doesn't stir too much with his Li family." Although Li Shen, this kid, has not been sitting in this Guangling King for a long time, he has been in the high-level official career since he was a child, and he knows this kind of way very well. Although our Liu family has no intention of fighting secretly, how can we retreat from this cusp? No matter what, you still have to pay more attention in the future and take more precautions against this kid. ”

"The child remembers his father's words, but I always feel that this Li Shen is really not simple, and what he wants is far from this. Liu Yan said suspiciously.

The old man turned around and fell into deep thought without saying a word, and Liu Yan thought that he was more and more sure of what he was thinking. After a while, Liu Gong turned around and said slowly: "Since Emperor Taizong, except for the king of Taiyuan in the north, the vassal kings of the Tang Dynasty no longer have the real power of the army. ”

What the father said was very true, and the child also thought like this, so when he talked to Li Shen, he didn't dare to be with him rashly, so he pretended to be ignorant. Liu Yan said.

"You have done a good job, but even so, my Liu family is also temporarily peaceful, I believe that this Li Shen will not stop there, what we can do is to try our best to keep a low profile, and not to be entangled in these open and secret battles. The old man said very tiredly, after all, he seemed to have been dealing with these things all his life.

Now these waves are just troubles in his eyes, and I don't know how many people with heads and faces have come to this Jiangdu, and they haven't walked one stubble after another. The only thing that remains unchanged is their iron-clad families, after all, even if it was the great chaos in Central Continent six hundred years ago, it did not harm the fertile land south of the Yangtze River.

Although Liu Gong said so, Liu Yan also knew that this was the unique technique of dealing with the Huang family for a long time. But he always had some bad feelings in his heart, and vaguely felt that this matter was not so simple, but he couldn't say it for a while.

Out of the Wan Shuzhai, Liu Yan wandered alone in the courtyard, and at this time, a young girl was walking towards it. I saw that this girl's light-colored shirt has a small jasper unique to Jiangnan women, and she is slender and colorful.

That Liu Yan was focused at this time, and he didn't pay attention to the girl who came for a while, and the girl was clever, so she stepped forward to cover Liu Yan's eyes, and grinned: "Guess who I am?"

This Liu Yan was covered by the girl, and Fang Cai's attention had long since disappeared, and he knew that this girl was his witful daughter Liu Mei. Liu Yan smiled at the corner of his mouth and said, "Which girl is this, I guess." ”

When the girl saw her father like this, she also smiled and covered her mouth with her hand, but as soon as she withdrew her hand, Liu Yan had let go of one eye. Liu Yan took advantage of the situation to turn around, grabbed Liu Mei's hand, and said with a smile: "Mei'er, you can't blame Daddy, you accidentally let go of your hand." ”

Liu Mei was a little angry, shook off Liu Yan's hand, and shouted angrily: "It's not fun, Daddy is always like this, making me laugh, so that I didn't cover you, and I was found out by you, and I won't play with you anymore." ”

This is good, Liu Yan is also overstretched for a while, and he still doesn't know his baby daughter? Although she looks like a little woman, she is very "arrogant". Now seeing that she is angry, this boss man keeps doing everything he can to get her, and that scene is really difficult to describe.

And the girl who was originally angry was infected by her father's funny and funny pet, and she couldn't hold back for a while, and couldn't help laughing. Liu Yan saw that his daughter was happy, and he was also relaxed and relieved, people said that his daughter was his father's intimate little padded jacket, and Liu Yan's daughter was simply a heart-wrenching little padded jacket, which was really reluctant to give up.

This Liu Mei was happy, so she asked Liu Yandao: "What is Daddy doing here? I saw you going around, just to tease you, who knows if I want to." ”

"You girl, I am so anxious that I coax you for a long time. Liu Yan said.

"Isn't that missing Daddy? ”

This Liu Mei and her mother Lu went out to pray for blessings in the temple outside the city, and lived outside for a few days. When passing by the courtyard, he saw Liu Yan wandering here, so he was curious, and he stepped forward to take advantage of his unpreparedness to catch and grasp his father, and this one happened.

"Daddy is just thinking about something here, why haven't your mother and brother arrived yet?" Liu Yan said.

"Oh, by the way, I was in a hurry to go home, so I came back before my mother, and Ah Chen is now with my mother, and I guess I'm about to arrive. Liu Mei looked around as she spoke, and said, "By the way, Daddy, where is my brother? I didn't see him when I came back." ”

It is said that during the day, after Liu Yan took back the money bag, he rushed home, because he did not take a carriage this time, it was rare to be elegant along the way, traveling through the streets and alleys, and when he returned home, it was already ten nights, and he went to rest after a simple meal.

Liu Yan then remembered that he had been back for so long since yesterday, but he went to discuss important matters with his father early in the morning, and he didn't notice the figure of his eldest son Liu Yi, thinking that he would not know where to go to play again. In this regard, Liu Yan had to say: "When I came back, I didn't see others, I'm afraid I'll go out to play again." ”

"Stinky Liu Yi, don't wait for me to come back, take me to play, run to play alone, hum!" Liu Mei said menacingly, turning around and wanting to find it.

Seeing that she was leaving, Liu Yan hurriedly said, "Mei'er, don't forget to say hello to your grandfather, report safety!"

That Liu Mei had already walked away, but just waved her hand and said, "Got it." ”

On Peach Blossom Street, a handsome young man, dressed in a light blue brocade robe, followed by two entourages, was wandering on the street. This young man is Liu Yan's eldest son Liu Yi, who has nothing to do at home, and when he learned that his sister was coming back today, he hurriedly slipped out of the house early in the morning and walked around the street.

At this time, Liu Yi was just wandering carelessly, and there was no purpose. In front of him, a man in a red and black robe walked up, and this person was Li Shen.

I saw Li Shen come forward, bumped into Liu Yi and said: "Young Master Liu, what a coincidence, I was so elegant to come out for a walk, but I didn't expect to meet Liu Gongzi." ”

Liu Yi saw Li Shen, although he knew that he was the king of Guangling and had a noble status, but since he was a member of the Liu family, he had been proud since he was a child. Seeing this Li Shen, he also regarded it as politeness, and replied casually: "What a coincidence, isn't this His Royal Highness Guangling, it's really a blessing." By the way, in a hurry today, there are still some things, so this will not disturb His Highness. ”

Liu Yi simply bowed his hand and was about to leave, he also heard his father say that when he saw this Li family's royal family, he still had to give some face, not too unreasonable, after all, this Dongzhou belonged to him Li Tang!

Li Shen saw that Liu Yi was leaving, and hurriedly shouted: "Liu Gongzi stays, don't go first, this is not easy to meet once, don't drink tea together, sell Li a certain thin noodles, yesterday your father also gave me a few thin noodles, drink tea to reminisce, since you are his son, you will not be so unkind!"

Liu Yi was shocked, it turned out that his father was late yesterday, and he was with this Li Shen. Since his father gave him face, if he was so unkind, he would inevitably be a little unreasonable, so he turned around.

"Tell me, where are you going to drink?"

"Okay, Liu Gongzi appreciates his face, then it must be the best, go, please come with me. Li Shen was happy in his heart, so he walked forward.

Li Shen and Liu Yi walked for a while, and then came to one of the best teahouses in Jiangdu City-Shuxiang Garden.

The two of them walked in, found the quietest place and sat down, Cha Xiaoer immediately came up to entertain, the two characters in front of him with heads and faces, where did Xiao Er dare to slacken.

The two ordered some expensive tea, as well as some good pastries, although there were not much, but after careful calculation, it was also a lot of consumption. Of course, these are luxuries for most people, and simply nothing for them.
