Chapter Seventy-Two: Uncle Liu

"My husband is here, is it still the same?" When Li Zhang saw Mr. Liu coming in, he immediately stepped forward with a smile and greeted, Xiuxiu and they were becoming more and more proficient, and he was finally freed from the kitchen.

"Hmm!" Uncle Liu seemed to be a little angry with Li Zhang, and nodded with a shelf, and at this time Li Zhang looked at the "young man" sitting next to Uncle Liu, and asked again with a smile, "Little lady...... Ahem~, what do you want to eat? ”

In addition to him and two servants, there is also a girl dressed as a man in the TV series of later generations, as long as a beautiful woman changes her clothes, she will immediately be regarded as a man by the male protagonist, but the other party is obviously white-skinned and beautiful, and the old man with a straight chest, even if he is blind, he can hear that the other party is a woman from the voice, but the male protagonist just doesn't know the gender of the other party?

"Father said that your buns are delicious, bring me a cage, and I don't like to drink sweet." I saw this little beauty in men's clothes showing a bright smile to Li Zhang, I saw that she had fair skin and delicate facial features, especially a pair of big eyes with a very aura, although the small body had just developed, but still showed a bit of girlish vitality.

"If you don't like sweet, then I recommend my brother to try our family's Hu spicy soup, which is also one of the signatures of our store." Li Zhang smiled again and spoke.

"Then have a bowl of spicy soup!" The little beauty didn't drag the mud and water at all, and made a decision very decisively.

Li Zhang agreed at the moment, and then sent the things that their father and daughter wanted, although Liu Lao Zhang was angry with Li Zhang, but he had a soft spot for Li Zhang's steamed buns.

The little beauty ate the soup dumplings for the first time, and no one taught her, but the little mouth that was hot at the beginning was red, but she still inhaled the cold air and ate happily, and when she tasted the first bite of spicy soup, a bright light flashed in her big eyes, and then she was happy to eat a mouthful of steamed buns and a mouthful of soup.

The little girl is in an important stage of growth and development, the amount of food is naturally relatively large, and the soup dumplings are small, but she was quickly eaten up by the little beauty, and then shouted at Li Zhang: "Shop, another basket of steamed buns!" ”

Li Zhang agreed, and then sent another basket of steamed buns, but after a while, he was eaten by the little beauty, and then the little beauty shouted again: "The store has two more steamed buns!" ”

"Are you done eating?" When Mr. Liu heard the words of the little beauty, he immediately shouted dissatisfiedly, it is not a glorious thing for a girl to eat too much.

"I brought it to my mother!" The little beauty replied without showing weakness, and now Uncle Liu opened his mouth and couldn't refute it anymore, after all, filial piety is greater than the sky.

Li Zhang smiled slightly when he saw this, and then quickly packed two baskets of steamed buns with oil paper, he had actually seen it a long time ago, this little beauty is likely to be the daughter of Liu Laozhang's mouth who is both talented and good-looking, and wants to be a matchmaker for Li Zhang, of course, this little beauty is really good-looking, and the talent is not visible, but he can see that the relationship between the father and daughter must not be very harmonious, and the two have hardly communicated since they came to dinner.

"Two steamed buns are packed, but it's best to eat them while they're hot, they won't taste good when they're cold!" Li Zhang smiled and sent the two steamed buns up, and the little beauty thanked him and took it, and then Uncle Liu could only pay.

In the next few days, Uncle Liu brought the little beauty to dinner every day, although Li Zhang guessed the other party's intentions, but if Uncle Liu didn't say anything, he shouldn't know, and he also saw that the little beauty should also be kept in the dark, and he didn't know the purpose of Uncle Liu bringing her here.

On this day, after Mr. Liu took the little beauty to breakfast, he asked the servant to take her back first, and he stayed in the store, not leaving or ordering, just sat down, and finally Li Zhang could only helplessly step forward and say, "Do you still want to eat something?" ”

"No need, the old man knows that you are a smart person, you must have seen the old man's intentions in the past few days, with my daughter's talent, don't you have any ideas?" Mr. Liu didn't seem to be willing to go around in circles with Li Zhang anymore, and said very directly at the moment.

"Ling Ai is indeed a very cute girl, and she is also beautiful, but there are too many beautiful women in the world, I can't marry one when I see one, right?" Li Zhang asked with a smile.

"I'm not asking you to marry someone else, just marry my daughter, if you want, I can promise to give a big house, plus ten shops as a dowry, how about it?" Uncle Liu said again at this time, a set of houses and ten shops, this dowry is simply too rich, ordinary people may not be able to resist such a temptation, not to mention that the other party is still a little beauty, if it was another person, maybe he would have agreed to it a long time ago.

"Since Uncle Liu has said everything, then I'll tell the truth, in fact, the reason why I don't want to do it is not because I don't think Ling Ai is bad, but because I think Uncle Liu, you are not sincere!" Li Zhang also said with a serious expression at the moment.

"The old man has given such a generous dowry, do you still think I'm insincere?" When Uncle Liu heard this, his beard trembled with anger, even if he had a rich family background, giving out so many dowries at once would be regarded as hemorrhage.

"My uncle misunderstood, in fact, the dowry you gave is very exciting, but you always want me to be your son-in-law, but you still refuse to reveal your identity, now I don't even know where you live except for knowing your surname Liu, where does this look like a propose?" Li Zhang spread his hands at this time, he had long been very curious about the true identity of Uncle Liu, but unfortunately the other party's tone was also extremely strict, and he couldn't find any useful news at all.

"This ......" Liu Laozhang was also stunned when he heard this, what Li Zhang said also made sense, he had indeed deliberately concealed his true identity, if something else would be fine, but he wanted to recruit Li Zhang as his son-in-law, but he refused to reveal his true identity, which is indeed unreasonable.

"Can you find a secluded place to talk?" I saw that Uncle Liu pondered for a moment, and finally raised his head and said with a solemn face.

"How about we talk upstairs?" Li Zhang immediately said with joy in his heart, but on the surface, he still deliberately made a calm expression, the origin of this Uncle Liu is definitely not simple, and the other party has been spending most of the month with him, and the purpose is definitely not pure.

Immediately Li Zhang invited Liu Laozhang to go up to the second floor, in fact, the space in the courtyard is larger, but it is a place to make braised meat, and there are many people coming and going, it is really inconvenient to talk, but the second floor is quieter, and this is also where Li Zhang lives now.

"Uncle Liu can talk now, right?" Li Zhang poured tea for the other party at this time, and then sat down opposite Mr. Liu and said again.

I saw that Mr. Liu hesitated again at this time, and then he spoke: "It's not that the old man wants to hide it from you, it's just that the old man's identity is a little special, although he is not as good as several prime ministers in the court, but he is also a figure with a face in Tokyo." ”

"Oh?" Li Zhang showed a more interested expression when he heard this, and then suddenly had an idea and said again, "I have long guessed that Uncle Liu is not an ordinary person, and it is a coincidence, I once met a lady some time ago, she is also surnamed Liu, and I don't know if she and Uncle Liu know each other?" ”

As soon as Li Zhang's words came out, Uncle Liu's expression obviously became a little unnatural, but then he coughed dryly and said calmly: "There are so many people surnamed Liu in the world, and I can't know them all, but if you want to know my identity, I can tell you that in fact, the old man's surname is Liu Mingmei, and the official worship guards and Ma Jun are all waiting for Yu, leading the defense history of Zhaozhou, but I am old, so I will be transferred back to Kaifeng City for retirement this year!" ”

Liu Laozhang said his official title, and Li Zhang couldn't understand it, but he confirmed the identity of the other party, isn't this Liu Mei Liu E's ex-husband, and later she thought of her as her brother, so she changed her name from Gong Mei to Liu Mei, in other words, the other party is actually the uncle of the Great Song Dynasty.

"Disrespectful and disrespectful, it turns out that you are Uncle Liu Guo!" Li Zhang immediately saluted with a sincere and frightened expression, in fact, when he first learned that the other party's surname was Liu, he guessed that the other party was likely to be related to Liu E, and the only relative surnamed Liu around Liu E was Liu Mei, but he was not sure before.

"Ahem, don't talk about Uncle Guo or anything, you still call me Uncle Liu!" Liu Mei didn't seem to like the title of "Uncle Guo" a little, and coughed dryly at the moment, but it was normal to think about it, he was not a genuine uncle after all, and the relationship with Liu E was so complicated, so it was normal for people to be unwilling to flaunt their identity as an uncle.

"Okay, but Uncle Liu, you have a prominent background, why do you want to marry your daughter to a poor boy like me?" Li Zhang deliberately asked again at the moment, although he had already guessed that he was likely to be the future emperor's eldest cousin, but this matter should still be a secret, Liu Mei probably knew the news from Liu E, but he didn't know if he wanted to marry his daughter to himself, was it out of his own interests, or was he instructed by Liu E?

"This ...... Don't be presumptuous, I, Liu Mei, also came from a humble background, and I don't think I have to marry my daughter to some prominent family, but I like Brother Li very much about your character, so I want to entrust my daughter to you! Liu Mei obviously began to be dishonest again at this time, anyway, Li Zhang wouldn't believe half of his current words.

"Uncle Liu is too high-minded boy, Ling Ai is a noble person, I am just a small businessman who runs a cheap business, and I have even done a job before, I really don't deserve Ling Ai!" Li Zhang once again made a sincere expression of fear and excused himself.

Li Zhang's purpose has been achieved, as for the marriage, he will not agree to it no matter what, after all, a person like Liu Mei must want to marry his daughter to him out of some kind of interest, and before the matter is clear, he will not fall into other people's calculations in a daze.
