Add more, ask for pink.

Liu Ruoxi came out of Mrs. Liu's house, glanced left and right, and saw Liu Yujiang. Liu Yujiang was holding on to a big tree under the corridor, half-hunched over, and was vomiting. The pomegranate is on the side, holding Liu Yujiang in one hand and the tea bowl in the other.
At this time, Liu Yujiang raised his head, and Liu Ruoxi saw his side face clearly. was illuminated by the light under the corridor, Liu Yujiang's face became more and more pale, and his eyes were half-squinted.
Pomegranate said something as he handed the tea bowl in his hand to Liu Yujiang's mouth.
Liu Yujiang opened his mouth to drink, and suddenly stood up straight, wrapped his arms around the waist of the pomegranate, and hugged the pomegranate tightly into his arms. Pomegranate was a little unsteady on her feet, but she didn't break free, but withdrew the hand that was holding Liu Yujiang back. She held a handkerchief in her hand and wiped Liu Yujiang's mouth.
Pomegranate is obviously used to serving people, and in this case, he also takes care of Liu Yujiang very properly.
It's just that Liu Ruoxi watched from the side, and vaguely felt a little strange. There seems to be something wrong with the picture of the girl serving her master in front of her. Don't allow Liu Ruoxi to think about it, Liu Da/Grandma has already come out of the house at this time.
Liu Da/Grandma was by the door, and she saw Liu Yujiang, and of course, pomegranates, her footsteps paused, and then she stepped closely, shouting the waiting girl in her mouth.
"Xia He, Dong Mei," Liu Da/Grandma scolded, "Two dead girls who should have been lazy, where did they go to sell their horns, looking at the eldest / master like this, they didn't come up to serve, and they picked your skin when they went back." ”
With that, Liu Da/Grandma had already walked down the steps to Liu Yujiang's side.
"What's the matter, Lord. The old lady's birthday, the eldest / lord is happy. It should also be estimated. Drunk like this, the old lady and the lady know. Be worried. The eldest master just went forward...... "Liu Da/Grandma helped Liu Yujiang."
Liu Yujiang seemed to be very drunk, and he still held the pomegranate and refused to let it go, muttering in his mouth, not knowing what he was talking about.
Xia He and Dong Mei who shouted in Liu Da/grandma's mouth also arrived at this time.
"Don't hurry up and take the things in your pomegranate sister's hands, dead girl, faceless and skinless, why don't you hold on to the eldest / master." Liu Da/Grandma scolded, her face a little uglier than just now.
Xia He and Dong Mei are the girls who serve closely in Liu Da/Grandma's house. They are all sixteen or seventeen years old.
The two girls came over, and Pomegranate was pushed aside.
"Just in the house, the old lady saw that the eldest / master was a little drunk, and instructed the maid to bring tea to the eldest / master to relieve hangover." Pomegranate said, holding the half-empty tea bowl in his hand. Liu Ruoxi looked at the side face of the pomegranate on the porch, the pomegranate was a beautiful girl, her face was white and red, Xu was tossing just now, and her breath was not even. Now her face was getting redder.
"I'm sorry to trouble Sister Pomegranate, I'm drunk, I'm really offended. If there is such a thing again, Sister Pomegranate will call me these two dead girls. It's their job. Liu Da/Grandma said. Unlike the usual treatment of the people who served around Mrs. Liu, there is no smile on the face of Mrs. Liu/Grandma now.
"Go and talk to the old lady, the eldest / master is a little drunk. I'll send the eldest lord back first. Liu Da/Grandma ordered a little girl to come with her, and she and the two girls helped Liu Yujiang to go out.
Pomegranate stood under the porch. It wasn't until Liu Da/Grandma and the others disappeared that she slowly walked back. All the way with his head half-hanged. The red glow on his face has not faded, his eyes are shining, and he seems to have endless things on his mind.
Second Mrs. Liu and Second Master Liu saluted Mrs. Liu at this time, and came out with Liu Yuwen.
"It's late today, and it's inconvenient to go back. The front room was cleaned up, so I stayed for the night. Tomorrow I will go to Zongxue from here. Your brother and sister-in-law, I'll send someone to say. Second Mrs. Liu said to Liu Yuwen.
"That's exactly how it should be." Second Master Liu nodded.
Liu Yuwen nodded in response.
Mrs. Liu was busy sending her rich daughter-in-law and two little girls to send Liu Yuwen to the front.
"The house is warmer, and the old man's little servant is called to take care of the second master Wen." After Mrs. Liu's instructions were completed, she and Mrs. Liu took Liu Ruoxi to her yard.
The three of them went to Mrs. Liu's house, and the banquet was a little tired, so Mrs. Liu ordered someone to bring some fresh fruits and tea. Second Master Liu and Second Mrs. Liu sat opposite each other on the couch, and Liu Ruoxi sat on the short kang opposite, peeling fruits.
"What's the matter, look at the pomegranate's soul." Second Mrs. Liu whispered to Second Master Liu.
Just now Pomegranate walked with his head down, and almost bumped into Second Master Liu head-on. After that, Pomegranate came back to his senses, went over, and went into the house to serve Mrs. Liu.
"Who knows that." Second Master Liu whispered, "The girls in the old lady's house are also old, so it's time to send them away." ”
After the second master Liu said a word, he didn't say it anymore, and the second wife Liu understood and didn't ask again.
Liu Ruoxi peeled the fruit and walked to Mrs. Liu's side, and heard the two talking. Liu Ruoxi suddenly realized. No wonder she felt strange when she looked at Liu Yujiang and Pomegranate just now, I see! Second Master Liu and Second Mrs. Liu are both from the past, and the look of the pomegranate can't escape their eyes. And Second Master Liu and Second Mrs. Liu only saw pomegranates, and did not see Liu Yujiang at that time. Pomegranates are not hot.
"Dad, it's not that the big brother drinks a lot, why is he always drunk lately." Liu Ruoxi pretended not to hear what Second Master Liu and Second Mrs. Liu said just now, and only sat next to Second Mrs. Liu, and asked while handing the fruit to Second Master Liu and Second Mrs. Liu to eat.
"Da Lang is a good amount of alcohol." Second Master Liu took the fruit and said with a smile, "He rarely gets drunk, how can I say that he is always drunk." ”
"Like the one time I asked Daddy, and this time. It's only been a long time, and I've been drunk twice. It's not your average drunkenness yet. "Instead, he was drunk and couldn't help himself.
Second Master Liu groaned.
Liu Ruoxi was also thinking that in her previous life, she didn't remember when Liu Yujiang was drunk. Liu Yujiang has never lost his temper in front of them. But now, in just a short period of time, Liu Yujiang has been drunk twice and lost his temper in front of everyone.
What does this mean? This shows that Liu Yujiang is not the gentle, gentle, and dignified person he usually pretends to be on the surface. He's always been like that. It's just that he hasn't come across anything that touches him enough. And once encountered, he will reveal his true nature.
"Isn't it a pleasure today? The old lady and the uncle also asked him to accompany the guests. Liu Ruoxi said again.
Even if it's because of adoptive things. But no one mentioned this matter today, Liu Yujiang will not get drunk because of this. And what else is there besides this?
"Sister, it's getting late. Go back and rest. Second Master Liu said.
"It's still early, and I can't sleep when I go back. I'll sit with my father and mother again. Liu Ruoxi refused to leave.
Second Master Liu actually didn't have much to do with Liu Ruoxi, and he was definitely reluctant to say heavy words, so he could only give Second Mrs. Liu a look.
"Good, Ji'er, go back and see Mama Chang. My mother is also tired. I want to rest early. Second Mrs. Liu smiled and coaxed Liu Ruoxi.
Liu Ruoxi guessed that Second Master Liu had something to say to Second Mrs. Liu in private, and she didn't want her to know. But although she knew this, Second Mrs. Liu spoke like this, she couldn't disobey it, so she had to get up, salute Second Master Liu and Second Mrs. Liu, and go back to the embroidery building.
Second Mrs. Liu saw that Liu Ruoxi was far away, so she turned around. looked at Master Liu. The tacit understanding formed by the husband and wife for many years, Mrs. Liu did not ask questions, but waited for the second master Liu to think about it before telling her.
"Big brother mentioned something to me......" Second Master Liu said slowly.
"What's the matter, or the step-brother?" Mrs. Liu asked.
"Not really." Second Master Liu shook his head, "What the eldest brother means is that he wants to propose marriage to our sister-in-law." ”
"Propose to your sister-in-law. What kind of people? Mrs. Liu's ears were almost pricked up, and this was the first thing on her mind.
"It's my sister-in-law's nephew. Brother Zhang. Second Master Liu said.
"It's him!" Mrs. Liu Unconsciously pinched/played with the handkerchief in her hand, "I was also about to tell the master." In the past two days, the eldest lady has been talking to me and probing my tone, which seems to mean the same thing. ”
"Master, you, have you agreed?" Second Mrs. Liu thought for a while, raised her head, and asked Second Master Liu.
"Nope." Second Master Liu said, "The eldest brother probably asked me about my tone, and he didn't officially mention it. Sister, I'm still a little younger. In addition to Brother Zhang's family background, we don't know anything else. Although Master Liu praised Feng Jianzhang very much.
Mrs. Liu nodded again and again, and at the same time breathed a sigh of relief.
"Exactly."
In Liu Ruoxi's matter, the husband and wife have the same mind. They knew in their hearts that their daughters would marry sooner or later, and they shouldn't marry late, so they should handle this matter earlier. But on the other hand, he was reluctant to marry his daughter, and he wished that he could keep his daughter for a few more years.
"Putting aside his temperament for the time being, his home is so far away from the capital. I don't want to marry my son far away. Mrs. Liu said. Mrs. Liu also has a plan, which is similar to Mrs. Liu's plan, that is, she wants to find a home in the capital for Liu Ruoxi. In that way, even if Liu Ruoxi marries out, it will be convenient to come and go in the future. They miss Liu Ruoxi, and they can go to see it, they don't have to worry about not seeing Liu Ruoxi, and they don't know how she is doing.
"I think so too. Let's just this one, so naturally we have to marry closer. Second Master Liu said, "It's a pity that several of my good colleagues don't have children of the right age." Otherwise, it's all the right children, and it's all the children who are reading, which couldn't be better. ”
"The eldest brother should know my intentions, and told me that it is not impossible for Brother Zhang to stay in the capital in the future. said that it was the Feng family's generation, and they also said this. Second Master Liu said again. If Feng Jianzhang goes to the exam, if he does well in the exam, he will be selected to enter the Hanlin Academy, and he will naturally be able to stay in the capital in the future.
Even if you can't enter the Hanlin Academy, if Second Master Liu is willing to help, there are many ways to stay in Beijing and develop. Of course, this premise is that Feng Jianzhang can become the fast son-in-law of the Liu family's second room.
