Chapter 118: Fiction and Reality
Master Liu coughed dryly at the door, and the conversation in the room came to an abrupt end. Master Liu stepped into the house at this time, and saw Second Master Liu taking a post from Rong Chenghan's hand, and when he saw him come in, he hurriedly hid it in his sleeve.
Seeing that Master Liu was coming, Second Master Liu and Rong Chenghan both stood up. Rong Chenghan greeted Master Liu and said goodbye to Second Master Liu. Second Master Liu made a little retention, and sent Rong Chenghan out with Master Liu.
After sending Rong Chenghan away, Master Liu and Second Master Liu returned to the study and sat down. Master Liu felt that Second Master Liu's expression was a little strange.
"Second brother, but what's the matter?" Master Liu asked.
"Hehe, it's fine." Second Master Liu quickly denied it, and then seemed to realize that he shouldn't say that, so he said, "It's not that slave's business, it's very annoying." ”
"That's right." Master Liu was speechless for a long time.
Second Master Liu didn't speak. The two brothers were silent for a long time, thinking about their own thoughts, and finally it was Master Liu who spoke first.
"It's a pity that the servant didn't help, and he died, and nothing came out of his mouth. …… It was the little prince's people who found the minion, and I don't know if any clues were found at that time? As Master Liu said this, he stared at Second Master Liu.
Second Master Liu opened his mouth, as if he had something to say, but it was difficult to speak.
"Second brother, there are only two of us brothers here. Is there anything else you can't say. Master Liu chuckled in his heart, and still asked.
"Big brother," Second Master Liu shouted, and then raised his hand to support his forehead, his face was full of pain, thinking that he was extremely sad. This is not what Second Master Liu pretended to do, his mood at the moment is indeed like this, the "family is unfortunately ......" out of rebellion.
A suspicion in Lord Liu's heart was faintly confirmed, and his face was ugly at the moment.
"But it's just for the sake of an heir. Why? This is thanks to the person who thinks about it, this child is careful in his actions/things and is willing to think about others. If it falls into someone else's hands, let's ...... Our family, but it's hard to get rid of it. The foundation laid by our ancestors, and the little reputation left behind, will be lost in the hands of our brothers. ”
Second Master Liu still didn't say anything, but Master Liu understood. He was also angry and afraid, and smashed his big/leg with his fist.
"Brutes, brutes, I can't think of it...... Unexpectedly bold. Do something like this. This home will be destroyed in his hands! It's me who can't live with my father, and I can't live with the ancestors of the Liu family! ”
"Big brother, don't say that." Seeing that Master Liu was like this, he had to persuade Master Liu, "It's not about the eldest brother, it's ...... The family is unfortunate. ”
Liu Yujiang is the son of Master Liu, the so-called fault of not raising his godfather, Liu Yujiang is so disregarding human ethics and law. It's not Master Liu's fault, it's whose fault. Over the years, Master Liu has not only neglected housework, but also the education of his children. It was also very negligent.
"Second brother, what are you going to do?" Master Liu raised his head at this time and asked Second Master Liu.
"I want to ...... Listen to what Big Brother means. Second Master Liu said.
“…… Rely on me, such a rebel. Don't do it, fight the lintel of the family and send him to the yamen. It can be regarded as our righteous annihilation. Master Liu said.
If the house slave commits a crime, he must try to deal with it privately as much as possible, and he will not alarm the government. Now in this situation, he said that he would be sent directly to the official. There is a bit of sincerity in Master Liu's words, which is very suspicious. However, it was about his son, and he had to say so.
"No." Second Master Liu waved his hand, "You can't let your ancestors be ashamed." Let alone...... Hey, fortunately, nothing happened to me, so it's ...... In the future, it is necessary to teach well. ”
As the second master Liu said this, it seemed that he had finally made a certain decision. Then he stood up, walked over to a lantern beside him, opened the lantern cover, and took a paper sticker from his sleeve and put it on the candle flame. Master Liu watched the paper sticker burn into ashes, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Master Liu knows that Second Master Liu is soft-hearted and affectionate, and he may have the intention of teaching Liu Yujiang a lesson, but if he wants to send Liu Yujiang to see the official, he will never bear it.
What's more, this is also related to the reputation of the Liu family for generations. If you really want to make trouble, a few of their brothers will have no face in the court. The Liu family, I'm afraid that it will also become a laughing stock in Beijing.
"I can't spare him." Master Liu said.
"Big brother, don't be anxious, and enlighten slowly. He's also older, not a child, and his face is not ashamed. Second Master Liu said.
"What other face does he have?" Master Liu sighed.
Second Master Liu walked back to his seat and sat down, and talked to Master Liu about succeeding Liu Yuwen.
"I should have discussed it with my eldest brother a long time ago, but my mind has never been decided." Now, it is completely settled, and Liu Yuwen himself agreed, and his brother Liu Yubo also signed the paperwork. "I have to ask what the eldest brother means."
"It's good that you have a mind about this." Master Liu said, things have come to this point, and he has no room to speak on this issue. "Yuwen, that kid, I look good."
"The old lady has to help persuade and persuade the eldest brother." Second Master Liu said again.
"It's nature." Master Liu immediately agreed.
The brothers talked again, and the second master Liu went back to the house.
Second Master Liu told Second Mrs. Liu and Liu Ruoxi about Master Liu's statement, and Second Mrs. Liu and Liu Ruoxi were very happy. Here, Master Liu watched Second Master Liu leave, sat for a while, and then beckoned the little guy to come in.
"Go and call me."
……
In the evening, everyone went to Mrs. Liu's house to say goodbye to Mrs. Liu. Mrs. Liu looked all over the house, but there was no Liu Yujiang.
"Da Langna?" Mrs. Liu asked, "Why didn't Da Lang come, could it be that some errand sent him again?" ”
Everyone didn't speak, and Mrs. Liu's eyes naturally fell on Liuda/Grandma.
Liu Da/Grandma stood up in a hurry, her eyelids were a little red and swollen, but under the light, Mrs. Liu's eyes were a little flowery, and she couldn't see it very really, but she didn't seem to be looking very good.
"Back to the old lady, Da Lang is sick, so he didn't come, and he was about to tell the old lady, but I was afraid that the old lady would be worried." Liu Da/Grandma tugged at the corners of her mouth, forced a smile, and said.
"Why is he sick, then will look at him well? What is the disease? Mrs. Liu was a little anxious and asked a series of questions.
"And ......," Liuda/Grandma exchanged glances with Mrs. Liu, "It's not a serious illness, it's just a time sickness, I think it's a little unaccustomed outside." ”
As soon as Grandma Liu said this, Mrs. Liu breathed a sigh of relief. Although Liu Yujiang is a concubine, he has been extremely pampered since he was a child and has never suffered hardship. Even when he grew up, he found him an errand and said hello, but when he went to order every day, the yamen would not send him anything.
This time, he was sent to run an errand outside the city, and the food, drink, and accommodation were more comfortable than in Shangliu Mansion, so it was inevitable that he would get sick.
Liu Yujiang's squeamishness, Mrs. Liu knows better than anyone in this mansion, after all, it is his grandson who is brought up single-handedly.
"Have you seen the imperial doctor, have you taken the medicine?" Mrs. Liu continued to ask Liuda/Grandma, "You don't need to be here anymore, you have your mother-in-law and aunts, you go back to take care of Dalang." …… If you want anything to eat or use, just send someone to me and ask for it. ”
Mrs. Liu instructed in such detail, as if Liu Yujiang was still the child in front of him.
Liu Da/Grandma thought of Liu Yujiang being beaten and lying on the couch and couldn't move at this moment, her sadness and grievances came up, and her tears couldn't help but fall.
Mr. Liu sat in front of Mrs. Liu's couch and glanced at Mrs. Liu's grandmother coldly.
"I didn't hear the old lady say, go back and take care of Dalang." Master Liu said.
"Yes." Liuda/Grandma had no choice but to put away her tears and retreat from Mrs. Liu's house.
"At Da Lang's age, he is also a person with children and daughters, and the old lady shouldn't spoil him too much." Master Liu said.
"It doesn't matter how old he is, he's also my own grandson. I'm too old to control you a lot, even if I spoil him a little, how long can I spoil him. Mrs. Liu said.
Master Liu stopped talking.
“…… There is one thing that I want to report to the old lady and ask the old lady to show me. Second Master Liu said.
"What's the matter?" Mrs. Liu asked.
The second master Liu said that he was going to succeed Liu Yuwen, praised Liu Yuwen's benefits, and also said that Liu Yubo and his family agreed to succeed him.
"Do you want to pass the child of Jiwen'er?" Old Mrs. Liu was on the couch, moved her body, her eyes were on Second Master Liu, and slowly turned to the faces of Old Master Liu and Third Master Liu.
"Mother hasn't been thinking about this all the time, since the second brother has settled down, let's hurry up. Yuwen's child is indeed a rare good child. The second brother teaches well, and he will not insult the lintel of the Liu family in the future. Master Liu San smiled first, "Mother doesn't know, that child is still very filial." With us Shiro, I often talk about the old lady......"
Master Liu's words eased the expression on Mrs. Liu's face a lot. However, as for the succession of Liu Yuwen, Mrs. Liu did not nod immediately.
"I look at that kid, and it's not bad. It's just that, after all, it's a little farther away. "Mrs. Liu looked at Second Master Liu, Master Liu, and finally glanced at Mrs. Liu." Previously, it was said that he was going to pass on Jishiro. It's not Shiro, and ......"
Who else, Mrs. Liu didn't say anything, and the old man Liu, Mr. Liusan, Mrs. Liu, and Mrs. Liu San sitting below didn't answer Mrs. Liu's words.
Mrs. Liu looked at everyone around, and a disappointed expression flashed on her face, and she actually stopped. (To be continued......)
