Rong Chenghan admitted that he was not, and Liu Ruoxi also said that he was wrong, and the two apologized to each other. Second Master Liu and Second Mrs. Liu watched from the side, and they both laughed, thinking that it was a good thing for the two of them to reconcile like this.

"Alright, alright, it's good to get the words out of the way." Second Master Liu asked Rong Chenghan to sit down quickly, and Second Mrs. Liu over there also pulled Liu Ruoxi to sit beside her, "It's still a child's temper, thanks to your third brother's generosity." …… Not again. ”

This latter sentence was said to Liu Ruoxi. Liu Ruoxi was naturally silent at this time.

Second Master Liu asked Second Mrs. Liu to prepare a banquet and stay with Rong Chenghan for dinner.

"Let's open another jar of wine, and I'm going to have a good time today." Second Master Liu was very happy, and thought of Liu Chenglai again, "...... You were busy leaving that day, I don't know if you are free today, how about inviting us together? ”

“…… Since that day at his husband's house, he has always been thinking about the good wine and food of his husband's house. The gentleman sent someone to say something, and he was eager to come. Rong Chenghan said.

Although Rong Chenghan said so, Liu Cheng is indeed a junior, but the second master Liu will not be so lazy, and he asked people to take the post to invite Liu Cheng. Sure enough, as Rong Chenghan said, the person who went to invite said that Rong Chenghan was also here, and Liu Cheng came immediately.

At this meal, the guests and hosts enjoyed themselves, and because of his happiness, the second master Liu drank a few more glasses and got drunk.

When the guests were gone, Mrs. Liu served Mr. Liu and drank the sobering soup, and let Mr. Liu take a nap on the couch.

"I've never been so happy for so many years. This year, happy things are all together. Mrs. Liu said to Liu Ruoxi that there are two main things that she is happy about this year, one is naturally to succeed Liu Yuwen, and the other is to accept Rong Chenghan, a student.

Mrs. Liu said that Mrs. Liu said this, but in fact, she was there. And how could it be otherwise? Liu Ruoxi thought, I hope that the second master and the second wife of Liu can continue to be happy like this and live a long life.

The next day, the Zhao family came to the door with Liu Tong and Liu He. Liu Ruoxi accompanied Zhao to talk, and then went to sit in the room next to her, and Liu Tong and Liu He naturally followed.

"Your big brother, did they bully you again?" The twin brothers asked Liu Ruoxi.

"It's a lot more subsidence than usual." Liu Ruoxi said. After Liu Yujiang's stick sores were cured, he still went to the Yamen of the Soldiers and Horses Division to do some errands, and at home, as usual, he tried his best to flatter Mrs. Liu, and he was as amicable to Mr. Liu and Mrs. Liu as usual. It's just that. Change is not without it. In front of Second Master Liu and Second Mrs. Liu, and even in front of her, Liu Yujiang and Liu Da/Grandma and his wife have been careful in their talking/doing, and they are not as frequent as in the past.

The husband and wife did not come, but they often sent the eldest sister, the second sister and the big official to please the second Mrs. Liu. If Mrs. Liu has something, she will still give it to these children.

On the surface, it looks calm and waveless, but underwater......

Not to mention the future, the hidden dangers left over from the past cannot be underestimated. Now there is another item of reselling antique calligraphy and paintings.

“…… Brother Jiu is in the Terracotta Division, and he has been paying attention to it. Liu Tong said that Rong Chenghan returned to Beijing, and the future was unknown. has not yet arranged an official position in the DPRK, but Liu Cheng's official position has been determined a long time ago, and it happens to be in the Soldiers and Horses Division, although he is not directly in charge of Liu Yujiang. But it is the Shangguan of Liu Yujiang. "It was said that the third brother Rong instructed him, and he also knew the situation in your family, my father and mother. And our brothers told him......"

Because of Liu Cheng's convenience in the Terracotta Division, Rong Chenghan not only asked him to pay attention to the follow-up of the past two public cases, but also asked him to pay attention to Liu Yujiang's words and deeds.

"Oh, that's ......" Liu Ruoxi couldn't help but be stunned when she heard it. She didn't know that Rong Chenghan had made such an arrangement. Even if Liu Ruoxi has a grudge against Rong Chenghan, but when she heard Rong Chenghan like this, she had to admit that Rong Chenghan was not doing superficial work to please Liu Er, but really took her family's affairs to heart.

Liu Ruoxi was silent.

Liu Tong and Liu He's brothers saw Liu Ruoxi like this, and thought she was worried.

"The second uncle said that he resold ancient books, calligraphy and paintings, and my father also helped to inquire privately in the past two days, and as soon as there was news, he came over to tell ......," Liu He said again.

In the other room, Zhao and Second Mrs. Liu also happened to talk about it.

“…… If it is inquired, to put it mildly, it is compensation money. …… It's better to try to be clear, these things are inseparable from him, and what kind of things can't be done. ”

Mrs. Liu sighed and nodded.

"Originally, I thought he was a little uncompetitive, who would have thought that ....... Our master has now been informed everywhere that he is only collecting here, and will never sell ancient books, calligraphy and paintings, and there are no rare books left alone, and there are no imitation copies. Whoever does these things in his name is a hypocrisy and cannot be trusted. ”

"That's good, if you block this road, it's a clean one."

In the room over there, Liu Tong and Liu He kept telling Liu Ruoxi that Rong Chenghan was good, and they also said Liu Cheng.

“…… When the day gets colder, he will take us out hunting. Auntie, you also come ......" The two said happily, only to find out that Liu Ruoxi is not like when she was a child, and it is impossible to go hunting together, and the two brothers are very suffocated, "Auntie, if you don't go, we will take Brother Wen ......"

"Your ninth brother, as well as the third brother Rong, are all too old to look good, do you still lack playmates, just want to play with them, don't you feel bored?" Liu Ruoxi glanced at her twin brothers.

The twin brothers just laughed.

"It's a little older than us, but he's willing to play with us. It's not fun to play with those kids, Auntie, you don't know......"

Zhao took Liu Tong and Liu He to sit for a long time, and went home without leaving food. Second Mrs. Liu was good friends with the Zhao family, and the two talked for a long time, and Second Mrs. Liu was in a good mood, so she saw Liu Ruoxi frowning slightly.

"What's wrong? Not feeling well? ”

"Not really." Liu Ruoxi said, "The two of them are getting more and more noisy now." ”

Second Mrs. Liu couldn't help laughing when she heard Liu Ruoxi say this.

"Although they are a little naughty, they are all good-tempered, and they don't have any city government. You are not allowed to bully them. Second Mrs. Liu is just talking like this, and she also knows that Liu Ruoji and Liu Tong and Liu He have known each other since childhood, and their relationship is very good, which can really be described as ......

Mrs. Liu Er suddenly thought of the four words of two little guesses, and she was distracted for a while.

“…… I'm a little younger, it's too childish......" Second Mrs. Liu muttered to herself, if it weren't for these two points, she really wanted to be close to the Liu family. Her aunt is not very old and childish, although Liu Tong and Liu He and her brothers look good, but her thoughts as a mother still hope to find a more stable support for Liu Ruoxi.

……

On this day, the weather was fine, and Liu Ruoxi was sorting out the second master's collection of books in the small study, when she heard the little girl talking outside, saying that Rong Chenghan was here. Liu Ruoxi continued to sort out the books in her hand and did not look up. After that day, Rong Chenghan often came to Liu's house as usual. Second Master Liu is trustworthy, and there is no need for Second Master Liu to say it, Rong Chenghan himself said it first, Second Master Liu's collection of books is too precious, if it is not particularly needed, it is enough for him to look at the facsimile.

Moreover, Rong Chenghan no longer comes to the small study, most of the time, he is in the study in the front yard with Liu Er, and sometimes he goes to the backyard to read books, and it is also in the west wing, that is, the outer room of Liu Yuwen's room. There is also a small study there, usually Liu Yuwen comes back from Zongxue, and he reads night books in that small study in the evening, which is more convenient for Mrs. Liu to take care of.

Liu Ruoxi didn't look up, but she heard footsteps stop outside the door of the small study. Liu Ruoxi listened attentively, but the footsteps were not from the girl and the child in the yard, it was clearly like the sound of an adult man's boots.

"Third sister ......" Sure enough, next, Liu Ruoxi heard Rong Chenghan call her.

Liu Ruoxi hesitated for a moment, although she still didn't want to see Rong Chenghan, she couldn't listen to him and ignore him. Therefore, Liu Ruoxi slowly packed up the books in her hand and walked to the door.

Outside the door, Rong Chenghan was standing under a pomegranate tree under the porch.

"Third sister." When Rong Chenghan saw Liu Ruoxi coming out, he took two steps forward, but he still didn't go up the steps. He was very evasive.

"The third brother is here." Liu Ruoxi was blessed, I don't know what's going on, she found that there seemed to be something wrong with Rong Chenghan today, as if she was not very comfortable.

This is a rare thing in Rong Chenghan, and Liu Ruoxi couldn't help but look at Rong Chenghan carefully. These days, although Rong Chenghan did not deliberately avoid her, he never deliberately looked for her. What's so special about this today? That's weird.

"Third sister, I'll give you something." Rong Chenghan said and put his hand into his arms.

Liu Ruoxi only discovered at this time that a large part of the reason why she felt that Rong Chenghan was wrong today was because Rong Chenghan's chest bulged out. The bulging piece still squirmed from time to time. At this time, Rong Chenghan reached into his arms, and before he could take out the things, Liu Ruoxi heard a meow.

Cats, where did the little milk kittens come from?

Liu Ruoxi was puzzled, Rong Chenghan had already taken out a snow-white hair ball from his arms. The hair ball was only the size of Rong Chenghan's palm, snow-white without a trace of miscellaneous hair, on the round little head, two fluffy little ears, a pink nose and a small mouth, and those two big round eyes, which were blue.

Meow, Rong Chenghan held the little milk cat in his hand and handed it to Liu Ruoxi, and the little milk cat also opened its small mouth and barked, full of milky taste.

"Ah......" Liu Ruoxi shouted, while both hands already had their own will, holding the snow-white hair ball in their hands, "This is ......" (to be continued......
