"The second owner, there is a shopkeeper named Liu Cheng outside the door who asked to see him, and brought a lot of wine, saying that it was a congratulatory gift for the second owner, you see?" Li Biao hurriedly walked to the backyard, bowed down and bowed to Liu Ertiao, as well as Yang Bofang, who was playing chess with Liu Ertiao.

"What about the dust-free housekeeper? Just say hello to the dustless housekeeper for these things," Liu Ertiao was a little annoyed that he had no way out for chess, and when he heard Li Biao's report, he waved his hand away without paying much attention to it.

"Steward Liu went out early in the morning to buy newly made utensils, and now he is not in the mansion," Li Biao did not leave immediately, bent over and said to Liu Ertiao: "And that Liu Cheng said that he wanted to see the second owner in person, and the wine he sent was the 'three bowls of the whole twenty jars'." ”

"Oh? So generous? Liu Yiyi put the chess piece he had just lifted back into its place, looked at Li Biao curiously, and asked softly, "What do you say is the name of that person?" What is the origin? ”

"It is our own family in Liufu, his name is Liu Cheng, and he is the shopkeeper who is 'drunk'." Li Biao followed Liu Cheng's introduction just now and talked to Liu Ertiao.

"Liu Cheng?!" "The shopkeeper who 'got drunk'?"

Liu Ertiao and Yang Bofang were stunned for a moment, Liu Ertiao was surprised by the name of the person, and Yang Bofang was surprised by the name of the store 'Get Drunk'.

'Get drunk', Liu Cheng, remembering the words of the eldest brother to himself last time in the Su Mansion, Liu Ertiao realized that it was Ma Cheng who had come to Chang'an in the previous mansion.

"Erjo, why do you also have some friendship with the shopkeeper of 'Get Drunk'?" Yang Bofang withdrew his gaze from the chess game, raised his head and swept towards Liu Ertiao, and said: "'Get drunk' is now famous, but it is a businessman after all, and it used to be counted, but you are now in the official career, and you are a county leader, in the future, for this kind of businessman, it is still good to have some contacts, so as not to be entangled by some people with a heart, and your future is not good." ”

Yang Bofang is not looking down on businessmen, but Liu Ertiao's current position is really not suitable to have too much contact with businessmen and others. Therefore, when I heard the famous shopkeeper of the Tang Dynasty who was 'drunk' come to give a congratulatory gift to Liu Ertiao's wedding, I couldn't help but want to remind him.

"Uncle Yang rest assured, the little nephew knows the seriousness of the matter, and the shopkeeper of this 'Yiheju', the little nephew has never met him, let alone know him." Liu Ertiao glanced at Yang Bofang knowingly, the eldest brother said well, this Uncle Yang is very kind to their Liu family, and he also takes care of himself.

"However, everyone who passes through the door is a guest, and people are kind enough to celebrate the little nephew, so it's not good for us to turn people away, right?" Liu Ertiao nodded and smiled and saluted Yang Bofang, and said, "The little nephew went over to take a look, and the little nephew was also very curious about this 'drunk' shopkeeper who suddenly appeared. ”

"Well, you can control this kind of thing yourself, so I won't interfere much with my uncle." Seeing that Liu Ertiao had already started to see Liu Cheng, Yang Bofang nodded slightly, so he didn't do much to dissuade him, lowered his head, and looked at the chess game on the table again, and didn't pay much attention to things outside the game.

"In this way, the little nephew will be out of company first, Uncle Yang please take care of himself." Liu Ertiao bent down again to salute Yang Bofang, then turned around, raised his hand and said to Li Biao: "You go and invite the shopkeeper Liu to the living room first, and I'll go over." ”

"Yes, Second Owner!" Responding respectfully, Li Biao walked quickly, and rushed to the front yard before Liu Ertiao.

In the hall of the front yard of Liufu, when Liu Erjo arrived slowly, Liu Chengye was already seated in the hall, tasting the tea served by the maids, and when he saw Liu Ertiao coming in, he hurriedly put down the tea bowl and got up to salute Liu Erjo.

"Villain Liu Cheng, I've seen Lord Liu!" As soon as he bowed to the ground, Liu Erjo's current identity was different from the past, and he was also a court official with a large official position.

"Shopkeeper Liu is polite, sit down!" Liu Erjo sat down in the first place, looked Liu Cheng up and down, his appearance changed a little, but it didn't become very much, and if people who were familiar with it seriously identified it, they could still see some clues.

However, compared with when he was in Liufu before, Ma Cheng is now much whiter and richer, and his bearing and demeanor are becoming more and more thick and calm, plus he is wearing a gorgeous silk satin, which looks like a bit of a big businessman.

"Thank you, Lord Liu!" Respectfully saluted again, Ma Cheng sat down, and after only a while, he also felt that the second young master of their family had changed, without the immaturity and impetuousness he used to be, and became more and more like the eldest young master of their family.

This was very unexpected to Liu Cheng, but it also made Liu Cheng feel sincerely happy, their Liufu, finally came out with a character like the eldest young master, this is a great joy, as a descendant of Liufu, Liu Chengzi also hopes that Liufu will become more and more prosperous.

"Wang Gang," Liu Ertiao waved his hand at Steward Wang, signaling him to take the subordinates in the hall to go out temporarily, and when only Liu Ertiao, Xue Rengui, and Liu Chengsan were left in the hall, Liu Ertiao looked at Liu Cheng and asked softly, "Are you Ma Cheng?" ”

"The second young master is wise, it is the villain, and the villain will salute the second young master again!" Carefully glanced at Xue Rengui next to him, and saw that Liu Ertiao did not mean to retreat from him, so he knew Xue Rengui's status in Liufu now, Liu Cheng stood up and bowed again to salute the second young master of their family, this time, it was much more intimate and sincere than the salute just now.

"Steward Ma!" Xue Rengui also hugged his fists and saluted Ma Cheng, and he was somewhat grateful to Ma Cheng who brought him out of Jiangzhou Longmen. If it weren't for Ma Cheng's thousands of miles of searching, he Xue Rengui would still be able to make a living by plowing the fields and hunting.

"Brother Cheng is polite," Liu Erjo got up and held Liu Cheng up, with a gentle smile on his face, and said to Liu Cheng: "I met with the eldest brother before, and I have learned that my father and mother have adopted Liu Cheng's eldest brother as a righteous son, and we are a family, so we can be commensurate with brothers now, and we don't have to be too formal." ”

"The second young master has promoted the villain," Liu Cheng replied softly respectfully: "The lord and the lady accepted the villain as a righteous son, and most of them were forced by the situation, just for the convenience of doing things, the villain understands in his heart, and also knows his weight and position, and he does not dare to overstep, in fact, he can be given the surname Liu by the old man and the lady, which is the great fortune of the villain, how dare he call the young master brothers and sisters on an equal footing?" The second young master still regards the villain as Ma Cheng of the previous mansion. ”

Although the second young master of their family was quite polite to him, Liu Cheng was still not so confused that he couldn't find the north, and he didn't dare to go up the pole without interest, and he had been a 'drunk' shopkeeper for such a long time, and Liu Cheng's heart and insight were already extraordinary. He knew why the second young master of their family was so polite to him.

Without him, he is just afraid that he will have two hearts for Liufu.

Therefore, from the very beginning, Liu Chengcheng behaved very dutifully, he had no intention of not participating, and he didn't want to arouse the suspicion of their old and young masters. Liu Cheng knew who gave him everything today, and he didn't forget his roots.

"Hehe, Brother Liu Cheng said that he was laughing, how could his father and mother and eldest brother make fun of such a thing?" Seeing Liu Cheng's performance, Liu Ertiao smiled, affectionately pulled Liu Cheng to sit next to him, and asked softly: "I don't know when Brother Liu Cheng arrived in Chang'an?" But have you already met with the eldest brother? Also, Daddy, and Xiaohui are all okay in Fengjie? ”

I have been worried about it in my heart, so as soon as Liu Erjo opened his mouth, he asked a series of questions, waiting for Liu Cheng to answer them.

"Back to the second young master!" In front of Liu Ertiao, Liu Cheng has always put on a respectful and well-behaved look, listening to Liu Ertiao's questioning, without a little impatience, he bent over slightly, arched his hands and patiently said to Liu Ertiao: "Master, madam, and Miss, everything is fine in Kuizhou, don't worry about the second young master." The villain came to Chang'an this time, it was the order of the lord and his wife, and the villain came to Chang'an the day before yesterday, and came to the house today to pay a visit and send some drinks to the second young master to congratulate, which is the meaning of the eldest young master. ”

"The second young master still doesn't know," Liu Cheng glanced at Liu Ertiao and said with a smile: "The young lady gave birth in the early morning of the day before yesterday and gave birth to a little young master!" ”

"What? Sister-in-law, has she already given birth? Or a son? Liu Erjo stood up from the chair at once, with an indescribable smile on his face, looked at Liu Cheng, and asked loudly.

"It's a little master, mother and son are safe!" Liu Cheng also stood up, bowed down and replied again: "Also, the eldest young master said that the second young master's marriage gift the day after tomorrow, he will come over to celebrate, and come over with those musicians from 'Yi Heju', so that the second young master can prepare in advance." ”

"Besides," Liu Cheng looked up at Liu Ertiao, who was still in excitement and surprise, and said: "When the second young master's family affairs are over, the eldest young master hopes that the second young master can move out of the mansion and set up a portal on his own, and our Sanyuan, as well as the old mansion in Chang'an, don't have too much to do with it, and in the future, the money in the old mansion will not be allowed to use the second young master again if it is not necessary." ”
