Chapter 918: The Price of Growth
Mrs. Liu looked at the excited little guys who were like the little flower cat with a heartache, and looked at Liu Dashao who was happily carrying a fishing rod with dissatisfaction!
"Is there such a father as you? The smell of fish is the same as crawling out of a mud pit! ”
Liu Mingzhi looked at the five children with blushing faces and chuckled and handed the fishing rod to Liu Song: "This is what my son owes them, just have fun, children are like this!" ”
"Cui'er, take Fei Fei and the five of them to take a bath, change into clean clothes, don't suffer from the cold!"
"Yes!"
"Little master, little miss, you guys come with slaves!"
The five little guys looked at their father reluctantly, for fear that Liu Dashao would fly away as soon as he turned around!
"Go, Daddy won't go, wait for you to come out for dinner!"
A few little guys followed Cui'er towards the inner courtyard.
"Mother, are they up?"
"Won't you see it for yourself? I don't know anything, I'm obviously distressed, and I'm still pretending, aren't you asking for hardship? ”
"Alas........ Mother, the child is not filial, the hard mother went to the children's courtyard and told them that a few of them could get up, and then kneel down and kneel down to break their knees! ”
"If you want to go yourself, the old lady won't go! Do your own thing! ”
"Mother, the child will not worry about a few of them, you just have to work hard, the child still has some things to go to the study to deal with!"
"Okay, just this time, don't take it as an example, pay attention to your body, you just came back from the expedition and don't know how many days to rest? It's all your father's old thing, being an official, and you yourself have calculated how many days you have been at home since you entered the court? Envoy to Jinguo, Qingzhou disaster relief, Jiangnan bandits, conquest of the Western Regions, you can count the days you have been at home in the past few years with one hand, this official is not appropriate, learn from your father-in-law to return to his hometown, the most unfortunate is as relieved as Zhu Run's child, being an idle grandfather is better than running around like this! ”
"Alas...... Mother, don't say angry words, at this step, the child is also involuntarily, the child has touched the interests of too many people, resigned from the official position only for fear that sooner or later he will end up dead without a corpse, don't look at the court, now many people are smiling at the child and stammering the child, but once the child loses power, they will be the first to turn their faces and not recognize people! ”
"The court, interests have always come first, and affection is the most worthless thing in the Jinluan Palace!"
Mrs. Liu's face was a little gloomy: "Zhi'er, don't blame your father, your father is also helpless, he is also the person who is most worried about you, but you also know your father, and he is not good at expressing anything, but you don't know what your father is worried about for you!" ”
"Qingzhou, you are unfortunately infected with the plague, your father has not cried for ten years, that time is also regretful old tears, self-blame, complaining that he should not force you to be an official, during the Western Expedition, your father even handed over the business to the Liu family to take care of the shopkeepers, and climbed on the roof every day to look west!"
"Mother..........
"Can your father not know that there is nothing to see at all through thousands of mountains and rivers? He knows better than anyone else, but he still looks at the west from time to time, hoping to see you ride back one day! ”
As she spoke, Lady Liu's tears flowed.
"Lian'er went to Shu alone, 30,000 of the Liuye disciples are either the identity of the second child, or the identity of the caravan guard, or the shopkeeper or something, the inner Liu disciples have not gathered for fifteen years, when your father knows about this matter, the 30,000 inner Liu disciples went to Jiangnan for the first time in fifteen years to gather together, your father said, his old bones can fight the last mountain for you, and you will rely on yourself in the future! Fortunately, the emperor relies on you very much, and he didn't take Lian'er well, what a blessing in misfortune! ”
Liu Mingzhi's eyes were a little moist: "Mother, the child understands in his heart, the old man is a knife mouth tofu heart, the child owes him a lifetime, and if he can't pay it off in the next life, he will pay him back little by little in the next life!" ”
Mrs. Liu gently wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes: "You go and get busy first, my mother will prepare a banquet for you to pick up the wind and wash the dust!" ”
"Okay, prepare more good wine, and the child will have a few drinks with the old man!"
Liu Mingzhi pursed his lips and walked towards the hall of the inner courtyard.
In the courtyard outside the hall, Liu Mingli was pitifully striding on his horse, and Liu Zhian was sitting on a recliner holding a small teapot and drinking tea freely.
The coal stove around him was steaming, and Liu Zhian still wrapped the big gas on his body from time to time to prevent the cold wind from invading his body.
"When you're older, don't always stay outside, be careful of the cold, don't point to this young master to give you a pension, anyway, you scold me every day for not being a filial son, for the sake of me, an unfilial son, you don't plan to stick to it for decades!"
Liu Zhi'an's eyes opened a thin slit and glanced at Major Liu Da, put the teacup on the low table and sat up: "Lao Tzu wants you to worry about it, you don't care for the old man and Chengzhi, take advantage of the wind and rely on these good grandsons and granddaughters, I hope you don't know the year after tomorrow!" ”
"It's best if you have this awareness, anyway, if these two bastards are so angry with me in the future, the better I will live, live a long life, and be angry with them!"
Liu Zhi'an sighed and stood up from the recliner, and tightened the big stool on his body: "The years are not forgiving, in the blink of an eye, the children and grandchildren are full, my old bones don't know how many years to live, sometimes the old man is thinking, I haven't felt like I have lived anything after living for most of my life, fortunately, you fight for Lao Tzu, the twenty-five-year-old grandfather has no one among the ancestors and ancestors of the Liu family, and the old man can proudly occupy a place when he sees them a hundred years later!" It's Mingli....... this guy."
Liu Zhian glanced at Liu Mingli, who was walking on the horse, and sighed helplessly: "It's getting worse and worse, the longer the good seedlings grow, the more crooked they are, the longer Lai Miao grows, the more straight they go, the year before last, Mingli didn't even get into the top three in the imperial examination, it's really not a reading material, it's really not good, you open a way for him to go to the army to train for a few years!" ”
"What about the family business? Who picked up your squad when he went to the army? ”
"Mingjie, this kid said he grew up so fast? If the second child agrees, the old man will try to cultivate Mingjie! ”
"Dad, I'm okay with that!"
"Shut up!"
"Oh!"
"You look at the arrangement, it's really not impossible to throw it into the military camp for two years of training, it mainly depends on his own, what road he wants to go, the meaning of the child depends on his own ideas!"
"Old man, think about it, look at you in the direction of the study, I think there is something wrong, let's get busy first!"
"I'll help you go to rest, stay less when it's so cold outside!"
"What to help, the old man has not yet reached the day when he can't walk, get out of the calf!"
"Okay, be careful!"
"Go ahead, let's have a good drink when we're done, and see if your amount of alcohol has grown!"
"Got it!"
After Liu Zhi'an left, Liu Mingzhi looked at Liu Mingli: "Don't hurry up and rest, I don't have any eyes, I don't know how to seize the opportunity if you give you a chance to rest!" ”
"Thank you, big brother, brother went to take a bath first, his body was sticky and uncomfortable!"
Liu Mingzhi walked towards the backyard study with a complicated face, and the more he grew up, the more sad he became.
I can't find the happiness of seven years ago, since when did I start to say goodbye to the lazy days and become hardworking?
"The price of growth is too great!"
Said a word melancholy, and Liu Mingzhi opened the door of the study.
The study room is spotless, and it looks like someone comes to clean it from time to time.
In addition to having the study key, only Ying'er is the girl!
Sitting on the chair, Liu Mingzhi gestured a few times to the open window!
"Green Dragon, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, Xuanwu!"
"See the young master!"
"Half an hour, Young Master Ben wants to see all the information about the rebellion in Shudi!"
"Yes!"
"Is there any news from Qi Ya?"
