Father Liu picked up Zhang Lu, helped him to the Taishi chair, and instructed Zhang Yan to wipe Zhang Lu's face with a wet towel, and washed his face himself.

The three of them officially sat down, Zhang Yan saw that Daddy Liu's face softened a lot, so she poured wine for Zhang Lu and Daddy Liu, and Daddy Liu smiled and said, "Xiaoyan, there are no outsiders here, you can pour it too, and accompany the two of us to have a good drink!" ”

Zhang Lu also smiled and said to Zhang Yan, "Xiaoyan, as the saying goes, the prime minister can support the boat in his belly, Young Master Wende is a real man, open-minded, insightful, your grandfather and I have been taught again today, you can marry into the Liu family compound, and you can become the daughter-in-law of Young Master Wende, which is the blessing that our old Zhang family cultivated in the previous life!" ”

Father Liu said to Zhang Lu sincerely, "Old Man Zhang, don't call me Young Master Wende from now on!" This title was okay more than 30 years ago, when Sanyan ...... me. ”

Father Liu couldn't help but say Zhang Sanyan, and realized that it was inappropriate to talk about these things in front of Zhang Yan, so he immediately changed his words and said, "Old man Zhang, you still call me Wende, I listen to it comfortably, we haven't sat together for twenty-five years." Come, toast to the bygone time, to the past! Daddy Liu raised his wine glass and touched Zhang Lu's wine glass, and the two of them drank it all.

Zhang Yan didn't squeak, just neatly poured wine and vegetables for the two of them, the two men in front of her are the most important people in her life, they are her life mentors, Zhang Lu has accompanied her through nineteen years, taught her a skill, including how to deal with all kinds of men, and Daddy Liu will lead her to ride the wind and waves in the long years to come, revitalize the Liu family compound, Daddy Liu is as unfathomable as the sea in her heart, just like just now, the proud grandfather is as humble as a piece of dust in front of Daddy Liu, And Daddy Liu is like a mountain that stands tall!

"Wende, I have long wanted to open my heart to you and talk all night, otherwise I will not be blind, but I have never had the opportunity to get close to you, you are the most likely to become my uncle's man, but the creation makes people, Sanyan is not blessed to marry into the Liu family compound, fortunately, God has mercy, let my good granddaughter marry into the Liu family compound as she wishes, and it is you who used the eight sedan chairs to carry her into the Liu family compound in a beautiful manner, at that moment I knew that you had forgiven me, Wende, your mind may have been trained by you when you were young. It's really as wide as the sea, you actually hold this waist card in your hand for more than 20 years......" Zhang Lu couldn't control crying again, this waist card engraved with his name was a token privately given by himself and Jiang Junqing when he secretly communicated with him, and it was also evidence of Jiang Junqing's suicide by hanging, Zhang Lu didn't know that Daddy Liu once had a suicide note written by Jiang Junqing to his son Daddy Liu when he was dying, and the suicide note, Daddy Liu burned it without hesitation after reading it. Jiang Junqing exonerated Zhang Lu in every possible way in his suicide note to Daddy Liu, and told Daddy Liu that Zhang Lu had saved Liu Yanzu's life many times, so Daddy Liu couldn't bear it for so many years, he has been observing Zhang Lu's true appearance, and found that Zhang Lu is quite disciplined in life, he is a real man, and the past has made Daddy Liu deeply understand that people's hearts are like the sea, human nature is like water, and life is like a dream.

"Grandpa, my father said, the past grievances are all cleared by the road and the bridge, you don't want to be entangled in the past and can't extricate yourself, now we are a family, my father is better than my own father, you should be happy, let's drink, the food is cold." Under Zhang Yan's repeated persuasion, Zhang Lu stopped his sadness, saw things and thought about people, and made him miss Jiang Junqing, who had been dead for many years.

Father Liu picked up the wine glass and said softly, "Wang Yang and Lu Luo were in good shape at that time, and they were light and thin. Er Cao's body and name are destroyed, and the rivers and rivers are not wasted. Old man Zhang, the old in-laws, are still the same sentence, toast to the past, cherish all that once was! "Drink it all!

Zhang Lu picked up the wine glass and said affectionately, "Wende, you are right, you chose Du Fu's poem as an invitation, I was inspired and moved, the person who died for his confidant, I have served the three generations of masters of the Liu family compound, and all generations have been kind to me like a mountain, and now you and I have released our previous suspicions, and we have become children and daughters, this is my long-cherished wish for many years, Sanyan has not been realized, Zhang Yan helped me realize this wish." Life is really like a dream, real like illusory, illusory like real, ethereal, life has passed quietly, but the sun and moon still exist, and the rivers are flowing! You're right, toast to the past and cherish all that you have! Zhang Lu also drank it all.

"Old man Zhang, Sanyan can't say that she didn't fulfill your wishes, although she and I didn't get married, her son Shang Zhang and my daughter Aidao tied the knot, which can be regarded as a continuation of our fate."

Zhang Lu nodded, he was not surprised by Daddy Liu's decision, others avoided Liu Wenhua and Shang Zhang, for fear of getting burned, but Daddy Liu found his own way and did not take the usual path, he could see far and accurately.

Zhang Lu asked deliberately, "Wende, if you choose to marry Liu Wenhua at this time, aren't you worried about the fire at the city gate and the fish in the pond?" After all, the political struggle is getting worse day by day! ”

"Old man Zhang, for power and wealth, you can be opportunistic and even cunning, but for people's hearts, you can only treat each other with sincerity, not to say that Lu Yao knows the horsepower and sees the hearts of the people for a long time, Shang Zhang and Aidao have withstood the test of the world after more than a year of vicissitudes, and lovers will eventually become dependents, I have experienced emotional twists and turns with Sanyan, and I must not let the tragedy repeat itself in the next generation! As for the political struggle, I am not without consideration, whether Liu Wenhua has the so-called crimes, history will give an explanation, but Shang Zhang is innocent, New China will not break the law alone, and the nine clans, Shang Zhang is at most a Tian Shelang for the rest of his life, so what's the matter? ! Fame and fortune are originally flowers in the moon mirror in the water, and true feelings are the bright moon mountains and rivers! ”

Zhang Yan put a piece of chicken nuggets in Daddy Liu's bowl, and said coquettishly, "Dad, you are about to become an old pedant, and it is very speculative to sing and harmonize with my grandfather." Come, daughter-in-law, I toast you! As he spoke, he drank all the wine in his glass.

Zhang Lu looked at Zhang Yan with a smile and respected Daddy Liu, he knew that it was expected that with Zhang Yan's appearance, he won Daddy Liu's favor and favor so quickly, and the Zhang family has really taken root in Shuangliu Village since then!

"Xiaoyan, you avoid it first, I want to talk to your father about the past of the Liu family's compound." Zhang Yan promised to stand up and leave, but was pulled by Daddy Liu, he said calmly to Zhang Lu, "Old Man Zhang, you know best, I married Zhang Yan into the Liu family compound is to invite her to be the mistress of the Liu family compound, and even in the future to replace me as the village chief of Shuangliu Village and the patriarch of the Liu clan is not impossible, I have complete trust in her, there is no secret at all, I let her participate in our secret meeting, just to let her know the multifaceted nature of human nature, family ugliness can not be publicized, but she is not an outsider, she is Liu Zhangyan, the woman of my Liu family compound, And it's the hostess, but you say it's okay. Father Liu knew in his heart that even if Zhang Yan was temporarily avoided, it was inevitable that Zhang Lu would tell Zhang Yan in the future, so it was better to face it calmly now, which was a kind of trust for both Zhang Lu and Zhang Yan.

Zhang Yan said to Daddy Liu movingly, "Dad, thank you for your favor and trust in me, but I feel that it is better to avoid it, after all, this involves the elders, and I just took the dish back and heated it again." Father Liu was very satisfied with Zhang Yan's answer, he smiled and said, "Okay, Xiaoyan, just do as you say." Zhang Yan put the dishes into the food box, kissed Zhang Lu on the face, smiled at Daddy Liu and left the study.

Zhang Lu was just about to talk to Daddy Liu, Zhang Yan turned back nervously, she fell into Daddy Liu's ear and said tremblingly, "Dad, there is a situation, you come out with me." Daddy Liu listened to Zhang Yan's voice and knew that something big had happened, he got up and walked out of the study with Zhang Yan, Zhang Yan didn't speak, just pointed to the footprints under the window, Daddy Liu bent down to look carefully, and found that from the bottom of the window of the study to the gate of the courtyard, there were shallow footprints against the root of the wall, judging from the size of the footprints, it should be a woman's or a child's footprints, Daddy Liu was also surprised, and quickly looked up at the window of the study, and found that the window lattice paper was poked into a small hole, which surprised Daddy Liu, There are definitely women who come to peek and eavesdrop on his secret meeting with Zhang Lu, which is not trivial, fortunately Zhang Yan is sensible and insists on avoiding it, otherwise the most important conversation may also be overheard, Daddy Liu has no heart to analyze who did it now, he must learn about his father's whereabouts from Zhang Lu while the iron is hot, so he leaned over and whispered to Zhang Yan's ear, "Xiaoyan, you did a very good job, you continue to pretend that you don't know that someone has overheard our conversation, don't make a noise and don't investigate secretly, I will handle this matter, Now the priority is to finish the next secret conversation between me and your grandfather, and when you get home, don't come over to deliver food, and rest at home. Zhang Yan glanced at Daddy Liu affectionately and instructed, "Dad, after I leave, you can lock the courtyard door from the inside." ”
