Chapter 156: Rejoice
What Second Master Liu said was indeed what Second Mrs. Liu said, and Second Mrs. Liu nodded.
"Cheng Han, this kid, can be regarded as our nobleman." Mrs. Liu said that from the first meeting, the back of the horse they pulled the cart was poisoned, and it was Rong Chenghan who borrowed the military horse for them. Moreover, if it weren't for Rong Chenghan, they wouldn't be so easy to judge what kind of poison was in the horse, and the things involved in the future would not be easy to decide. Next, in the matter of succeeding Liu Yuwen, it was Rong Chenghan who helped a lot.
And then there's the matter now.
Second Master Liu heard Second Mrs. Liu say this, and nodded along with him.
Liu Ruoxi noticed that the topic was developing in the direction she least wanted to see, and immediately brought the topic back with her voice.
"Dad, how did the eldest brother explain this matter to Dad?" Liu Ruoxi asked Second Master Liu.
"What else can he do, just apologize to me. said that he didn't want to give the book to Zhang Shilang at the beginning, but Zhang Shilang saw it and blindly begged for it. He thought that Zhang Shilang and his father were colleagues, and it was not easy to offend, so he gave the book to Zhang Shilang. …… Later, he didn't dare to tell me, because he was afraid that I would blame him. "Second Master Liu learned Liu Yujiang's words at that time.
Just looking at the demeanor and tone of Second Master Liu, it can be seen that Second Master Liu is not satisfied with the explanation made by Liu Yujiang.
"What did Daddy say?" Liu Ruoxi asked again.
"I said two words to him," Second Master Liu said, but in front of Rong Chenghan, as well as Liu Cheng, and the people of the Zhang family, Second Master Liu still has to take care of the face of the Liu family, so he did not deeply blame Liu Yujiang, "His attitude is good, he only said that he was wrong, he can't stand me, and he won't dare in the future." ”
"Does he dare to have a bad attitude?" Liu Ruoxi said, "What I said is just empty words." My mother told me just now, thanks to not listening to the old lady. Succeeded the big brother. Otherwise......"
Liu Yujiang didn't have a rare book to sell, so he sold the imitation as a rare book. If Second Master Liu succeeds him as an heir, then Second Master Liu's ancient books and paintings will be dangerous. And that's not all......
"Why does that squire believe that the eldest brother has a rare book? Willing to spend a lot of money to buy it? "There are a lot of fake antique calligraphy and paintings on the market, and Zhang Shilang himself is not an expert.
"Naturally...... Because I. Second Master Liu said. Obviously, he also thought of this. "I'm not sure I'm ...... right now"
"Dad, have you given your eldest brother any other books and calligraphy paintings?" Liu Ruoxi hurriedly asked.
"I just thought about it, and there is nothing more than this one. I know that too. He is not a man who reads and loves books. Second Master Liu said, this book was only given because Liu Yujiang saw it and begged him.
"Dad is afraid that the eldest brother will use his father's name outside, and he will resell other fake calligraphy and paintings?"
"That's what I'm worried about." Second Master Liu nodded, and Liu Ruoxi said what he thought.
"I'll ask Dalang later." Mrs. Liu said.
"Even if I ask, how can he say it." Second Master Liu smiled bitterly.
"Then the only way to do it is to visit privately." Liu Ruoxi said.
"That's what I'm going to do. Thanks to knowing it now, it's not too late to make up for it. Second Master Liu said.
"Also. I think Dad should still let out the wind and ......" Liu Ruoxi thought about it and suggested.
"It's okay, so that Da Lang won't ...... in the future Misguided and sinking deeper and deeper. Second Master Liu nodded frequently. I didn't expect him to be so ......, and his family was unlucky. ”
"Then do you want to talk to the old man?" Second Mrs. Liu said, "The old lady will definitely not say anything." ”
"The old lady is old, and she dotes on him so much. If you don't know, you don't know. Big brother, I want to talk about it, and I want him to have a bottom in his heart. Second Master Liu said. To teach Liu Yujiang a lesson, it is natural that Master Liu is more justifiable. Second Master Liu knew about this, and he had to tell Master Liu that he knew.
The family was discussing how to be more vigilant against Liu Yujiang in the future, and a small servant came to report that Master Liu was back.
"I'll go meet my eldest brother and talk to him." Second Master Liu got up and said.
"Sir, pay attention to the wording." Mrs. Liu Er whispered to Mr. Liu. Anyway, Master Liu and Liu Yujiang are father and son.
"I know what matters." Second Master Liu nodded and went forward.
Not long after the second master Liu left, Liu's grandmother came and brought a basket of peaches.
“…… Someone in the great/grandfather's yamen sent it, it is not a rare thing, but it is still fresh, for the second uncle, aunt and third sister to try. "Grandma Liu Da/Grandma came in and said with a smile on her face. I don't know if I haven't gotten used to Liu Yuwen's existence, Liu Da/Grandma's words didn't mention anything about Liu Yuwen.
"The old lady loves to eat this, so she should send it to the old lady." Second Mrs. Liu asked Liuda/Grandma to sit and said with a smile.
"The old lady picked a soft one and sent it over." Liu Da/Grandma said, "I remember that the third sister also likes to eat peaches, so I was busy picking them and sending them over." ”
"Thank you, sister-in-law." Liu Ruoxi smiled and said, "Brother Wen also said that he wanted to eat peaches in the past two days, and when he comes back and sees it, he will be happy." ”
The smile on Liu Da/grandma's face was slightly stiff, and Liu Ruoxi didn't see it.
"Exactly." Mrs. Liu nodded, and instructed the girl to collect the peaches, "Wash it up, take ice cubes and take a little town for a while, and the fifth master will come back in a while to eat it." ”
Liu Da/Grandma saw that Second Mrs. Liu and Liu Ruoxi's mother and daughter valued Liu Yuwen so much, and she felt even more uncomfortable, but she still had to laugh and endure it.
"How did I hear that you haven't been in good health these days?" Mrs. Liu asked Liuda/Grandma. Liu Da/Grandma's complexion is indeed a little worse than usual.
"It's just a little tired," Liu Da/Grandma just said the word tired, and immediately regretted it, now the second Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Liu San at home are helping to manage things, especially Mrs. Liu San, I can't wait to take care of more things, if I let Mrs. Liu San know, I am afraid that there will be wind/waves, so I am busy and make up for it, "It's not in the way, my aunt knows a lot, this season, there has always been a bit of a bitter summer." ”
"Even if you are young, you should pay more attention to maintenance." Mrs. Liu Er's instructed/grandmother Liu.
"My aunt still feels sorry for me." Liu Da/Grandma said, while talking about the topic to the rare book, "The matter of the Zhang family, the eldest / master just came back and told me ......"
Second Mrs. Liu exchanged a look with Liu Ruoxi, and understood the real purpose of Liu Da/Grandma coming over at this time, and neither of them said anything, just listened to what Mrs. Liu said.
“…… It was the eldest / master who was in the way of the situation, and gave them the book in vain, and made it clear that it was an excellent imitation of the book. Now that Zhang's family is dilapidated and poor, trying to find ways to make money. A copy of the book was sold as a rare book. It is clear that they are extremely poor and cheat people out of money, but they say that his family spent money to buy rare books from the eldest / master! When Liu Da/Grandma said this, she was already aggrieved and angry.
"What kind of people are we, don't say no, don't dare to do something like that. is known, how to behave, how to meet the second uncle! ”
"The aunt and the third sister don't know that the Zhang family has now become a raging household. This is not the first time that a fake book has been sold. He said that just a few days ago, he sold an antique, and then someone knocked on the door and said that it was a fake and not worth any money. This is still exposed, and those that haven't been revealed, I don't know how many. "Liu Da/Grandma talked about the bad deeds of the Zhang family again, obviously inquired carefully, and specially said that the second Mrs. Liu knew.
"I don't know any of these either, so I just listened to my mother-in-law. There are those children of broken families outside, and there are also pretending to be people who specialize in this business and sell fake things to people to cheat money. Just now, our eldest / master told me that he was very regretful, and he shouldn't have cared about any face in the first place. Now that something like this has happened, I am afraid that the second uncle and aunt will be confused in private. I told our eldest uncle that the second uncle and aunt are both people who understand, and they didn't disbelieve their own nephews, but instead believed the scoundrels outside. Those people, for a few dollars, don't say anything, don't do anything. ”
After Liu Da/Grandma said this, she looked at Mrs. Liu and Liu Ruoxi.
"I also believe that my big brother would not do such a thing." Liu Ruoxi said casually, "In a family like ours, will the eldest brother and sister-in-law still lack expenses to do such a degrading thing." I don't believe that my big brother and sister-in-law are like that. ”
Are Liu Yujiang and Liu Da/Grandma short of expenses? There should be no shortage of them. But when managing housework, they still refuse to let go of any opportunity to make black money and make money.
"Don't be careful, your second uncle won't think like this." Mrs. Liu knew what Liu's grandmother was saying these words for, so she said, "It's just that our family has always been rigorous. Your second uncle taught Da Lang a few words, which also means being strict with himself. "Treat others leniently and discipline oneself strictly, this has always been the family motto of the Liu family.
"I also know that the second uncle is a cherished son and nephew." Liu Da/Grandma wiped the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief and echoed.
After getting the affirmation of Second Mrs. Liu and Liu Ruoxi, and the promise of the two, saying that they would persuade Second Master Liu, and they would never have any bad opinions about Liu Yujiang because of this, Liu Da/Grandma left satisfied.
In the evening, Liu Ruoxi was in Mrs. Liu's house, accompanied Mr. Liu and Mrs. Liu to have a conversation, and when she saw that the hour was not early, she said goodbye and went back to the room.
Second Master Liu looked at Liu Ruoxi's back and thought thoughtfully.
"Master, what do you want?" Second Mrs. Liu saw that Second Master Liu had a different expression, so she asked.
"Cheng Han, that kid won't stay for dinner today." Second Master Liu said, "I'm afraid I've remembered it." He also said that he would continue to search for books and return them to me, but I saw what he meant, if he couldn't find the exact same books, he wouldn't come to us. ”
"So what?"
"I'm a little suspicious that we're ......" (to be continued......
