That night, Liu Ming and his son returned to the house, and leaned on the couch to discuss some countermeasures, but they had no clue for the time being, and in the second half of the night, the two couldn't talk about the reason, so they simply fell asleep.

On the second day, when the rooster crowed, I heard a noise in the courtyard. Liu Ming put on his clothes and hat in a daze, and when he came to the window, he heard it

Someone shouted,

"How so? Yesterday was fine, but today it is in this situation? ”

"Big boss, we didn't know this was going to happen......"

Liu Ming opened the door to reveal a gap, and looked out, only to see Liu Xianda standing in the courtyard angrily, his face was heavy and said: "Xing'er has been in the mansion for more than a few months, and it has always been An'an. How did you do such a hunger strike? Is it that the food you cook is too bad? He scolded the cook.

The cook standing opposite him looked aggrieved: "Master, how dare the little ones snub Miss Xing'er?" Our chef made seven or eight kinds of meat and vegetarian seafood, all of which are apricot favorite food. I also deliberately bought some lo-mei from Babaolou. The slices of skin duck and Babao hot sauce are all signature dishes. However, Miss Apricot didn't eat it, she said, ......" The cook hesitated whether to say it or not.

"What did she say?"

She said that as long as she was asked to marry the master of the canon, she would ...... Hunger strike. ”

"Hunger strike?" Liu Xianda's eyes flashed with fierceness, "This daughter's family has a very big temper!" ”

"Humph!" Liu Xianda paced in the courtyard menacingly, "This yellow-haired girl is really too unreasonable. He even threatened this family business with a hunger strike. I talk to her, and it doesn't work? ”

"Xianda, or this ...... Family, let's slow down first? When the Liu Wu family heard the movement, they also ran to the courtyard to persuade, "Let's talk to the master of the canon, saying that we are not ready here......" The Liu Wu family is also a female dependent, and she feels a little sorry for the apricot, and said, "I look at this flower-like apricot, and I am a little reluctant to marry the canon's history that is over forty years old." ”

"Smack!" Liu Xianda slapped the other party in the face and said angrily, "Is there a part of your speech here?" I don't know how heavy it is! ”

The Liu Wu clan is spicy on weekdays, but they can also distinguish the severity. She saw that her husband's face was gloomy, green tendons were coming out, and her face was cold, and she understood that she could not add fuel to the fire, so she covered her cheeks and stood aside.

"Say we're not ready? What a woman's opinion! Liu Xianda's face tightened, and he said, "Do you think Lord Yang is a subordinate in our house?" Just say yes, say no, no? I tell you, there is no turning back when you open the bow. If we regret our relatives, it will be worse than not agreeing to others in the first place? The government is not so easy to play. ”

"But...... Apricot hunger strike, this is not a solution. Liu Wu said, "This girl, this time it seems that she is absolutely stubborn to the end." If she doesn't eat and starves to death, we can't do anything about it...... I think it's better to persuade her to eat first. ”

Liu Xianda's eyebrows tightened, pondered for a moment, and said stiffly: "You persuade again." If she still refuses to eat. Tell her that I will ask someone to prepare the sedan chair drum music today. Tomorrow, I'll send her to the Dian Shi Mansion! Save starvation in my hands!"

When Liu Ming heard this, he was extremely angry in his heart. He never thought that his eldest uncle Liu Xianda would be so ruthless. When it comes to apricots, it's like a commodity. At first, he thought that his uncle was not smiling, but just a profit-making businessman. However, seeing this scene, Liu Mington felt that his people were sinister and vicious, and they were hundreds of times more vicious than Liu Wu's.

At this time, I heard a shout in the courtyard: "Liu Xianda!" You son of a bitch! I, Liu Yuanzhi, don't share the sky with you! ”

Isn't this your own daddy's voice?

Liu Ming looked back, and sure enough, he saw that the bed in the room was empty. He didn't know when his father would leave the house in the morning.

That Liu Yuanzhi, his face was red with anger, and like an angry bull, he crashed headlong into Liu Xianda.

That Liu Xianda was looking down and thinking about Xing'er's hunger strike, when he expected that his second brother would rampage, he lost his center of gravity and fell on the stone steps.

"Second brother, are you crazy?" Liu Xianda propped his hands on the ground and said angrily, "Gambling money and losing red eyes again?" ”

Liu Yuanzhi crossed his hands on his hips and gasped: "I'm phew! You're not my eldest brother, you sold the apricots like livestock, what kind of thing is it? ”

When Liu Yuanzhi heard his eldest brother's words just now, his lungs were about to explode. Seeing that Xing'er and Ming'er are about to fly apart, how can the father stand by and watch?

This Liu Yuanzhi, you can beat him or scold him, but you must not hurt his life-son.

If it touches his bottom line, he will risk his life.

At this time, the subordinates in the house were all stunned. The big shopkeeper said everything in the house, and others didn't even dare to respond to half a word, let alone others. Seeing the second master knock down the big shopkeeper is simply a strange news.

Liu Xianda fell, and the two family members who had followed him for many years were anxious. They didn't care who Liu Yuanzhi was, the two of them grabbed the arm of the perpetrator Liu Yuanzhi, and they wanted to return a tooth for a tooth and throw him to the ground.

When Liu Ming saw it, he was also anxious, his father's old arms and legs, where could he withstand such a toss, he just wanted to grab the door, only to hear Liu Xianda say in a deep voice: "Slow!" ”

With his hands on his waist, he slowly got up from the ground and motioned for the servants not to move.

"He's a rude bastard, how can we be like him?" Liu Xianda gestured to the two family members. Then, he turned his head, his gaze swept over Liu Yuanzhi like cold lightning, "Second brother, when you were eating and gambling outside, you owed a high-interest loan, and I helped you pay it back." Since you returned home, there have been some changes, and I thought you had some restraints...... I didn't expect that the country is easy to change, and the nature is difficult to change. It's really a long time, and you actually beat your eldest brother? ”

"Then you'll be able to fight back......" Liu Yuanzhi said angrily.

Liu Xianda sneered: "How can we business people move our fists and feet? Second brother, I see that you are still not having a good time in this mansion. Our temple here is small, and we can't accommodate your big Buddha. I think you'd better find another job. Liu Xianda turned his back and flicked his robe, "Let the bookkeeper allocate some silver taels to him and let him go." ”

Liu Yuanzhi was originally a person with no heart, but at this time, he was angry, and he didn't think about it, so he responded: "Let's go!" Save yourself from watching and getting angry here! ”

The corners of Liu Xianda's mouth rose, revealing a hint of imperceptible sneer, and then said: "Then I'll let Mr. Bookkeeper, allocate more silver taels with you, and you can go to the Bichun Courtyard in style." ”

"Wait!" At this time in the courtyard, a man's clear voice sounded.

Liu Ming followed the prestige through the crack in the door, and when he saw him, he was overjoyed in his heart - Uncle Yong is back!

Liu Yong stood in the courtyard with a folding fan in his hand and a white robe, looked at Liu Xianda and said loudly: "Big brother...... Are you going to evict your second brother from the house? ”

Liu Xianda was stunned for a moment, and said, "Third brother...... You're back? ”

"Big brother...... If you want to kick the second brother out of the house, I will be the first to disagree! "Liu Yong cut the railway.

The addition of Liu Yong made a contrast in the situation in the hospital. Although Liu Xianda is the big shopkeeper in the house, but the two younger brothers oppose him at the same time, and he has to think about the situation.

"Big brother...... The second brother has now completely reformed himself and is conscientiously busy with the affairs of the medical hall. Why don't you want to let him go? Liu Yong asked.

Liu Xianda retorted: "He stumbled with me everywhere, and now Xing'er is on a hunger strike, if he repents of his family, which makes the noble Yang angry, our Liu family, I am afraid that it will also be affected......"

"Uncle......" Liu Ming pushed the door out, walked to the courtyard, stood in the middle of the crowd, and said, "Uncle, please don't embarrass my father." I have a way...... made Sister Xing'er give up her hunger strike. ”

"Oh?" Liu Xianda looked at Liu Ming unexpectedly. He stroked his beard and thought to himself, Liu Ming, a little ghost, is quite good at judging the situation. After all, Xing'er's hunger strike is a major problem for me at present, and if this problem can be solved, it will be good.

After thinking it through, he pretended to be lenient and said, "Xing'er's hunger strike does give me a lot of headaches. None of us are close relatives of hers, and we probably can't use our strength. If only you could get her back on her diet...... Your father's affair with me will be written off. ”

"It's a deal." Liu Ming nodded. He didn't wait for his father and uncle to speak, and went straight to the apricot house.

Before coming to the familiar wing, Liu Ming sighed with some emotion, the only time he had a legitimate opportunity to come to Xing'er, but he persuaded her not to fight against her uncle's decision.

At this time, in front of the house, two maids were holding dishes and struggling to persuade Xing'er to eat.

He said, "Miss, you might as well eat some." The one said, "Man is iron, rice is steel, and if you don't eat a meal, you will be hungry." ”

The door was closed, and only Xing'er replied coldly: "Don't eat, you can go back." ”

Liu Ming listened, half relieved and half sour. He controlled his emotions, stepped forward, and said, "Uncle asked me to come and have a look." You put the dishes at the door first, and I'll try it......"

The two maids were relieved on their faces, and they all said in unison: "Young master, they all say that you are resourceful, and this Miss Xing'er will be handed over to you." ”

Liu Ming nodded, and after the two maids left, he sat on the steps of the door, put his ear against the wooden door, and said softly, "Xing'er, Xing'er......"

"Brother Ming, is that you?" There was a slightly surprised voice from the apricots in the room.

"It's me, it's me. Hurry up and open the door, and we'll go in and talk. ”

"Brother Ming...... They were afraid that I would mess around, so they locked the door. Apricot complained inside.

Liu Ming looked up, and sure enough, he saw General Tie guarding the door, leaving only a narrow slit under the door for his arms to reach in and out to pass the food.

"Alright, Xing'er, let's just talk like that. You put your ear to the door, and I put my mouth against the door. Liu Ming comforted.

"Really?"

"Hmm."

"Okay, listen to me, you eat it right away, don't starve your body."

"I don't eat it. Brother Ming, they let me eat and raised me to be white and clean, so that I could give it to that old classic. I don't! ”

Liu Ming heard Xing'er say the words "Old Classics" in her tone, and felt a little unbearable, thinking that the other party was really cute. Think about it, Xing'er is only fifteen years old, no matter how she knows the general situation, she is still a child.

"Brother Ming......" Xing'er plucked up her courage at the other end of the door and said, "My heart ...... Only one person ......"

Since that night, they have shared the same bed, although Liu Ming has not done anything. But in the eyes of an ancient family like Xing'er, who is as conservative as Apricot, it is already like a husband and wife. She has already decided that this Liu Ming is her future husband.

"Brother Ming, we ...... Let's elope. Apricot blushed, biting her lip and pointing her fingers at the door.

"Elopement? Where to go? Liu Ming was stunned.

"Wherever you want, you go. It's okay to sell wine like Sima Xiangru and Zhuo Wenjun. I'm pretty good to feed anyway. Xing'er's voice was very serious, "Since I follow you, even if I beg on the street and farm in the fields, I am willing." ”

Liu Ming's eyes were hot, and he was very moved. I thought that I had traveled to this world and could understand such a true feeling, and I really had no regrets.

"Apricot...... Give me your hand......" Liu Ming put his hand into the narrow slit where the lunch box was delivered.

Xing'er was at the other end of the door, her left hand slowly flipped, and she also held Liu Ming's hand. Although she is young, she has also experienced emotional twists and turns, or maybe she feels that this is the last moment to meet her lover, so she holds her hand tighter.

Holding hands together, affection, there is no need to say more.

"Xing'er, are you really willing to wander the world with me?" Liu Ming's voice was slightly choked.

"Yes." Apricot said solemnly. She only felt that in her life, this moment was really the most rare. Interlocking her lover's fingers, she only felt that her whole body was warm, and her heart seemed to be soaring in the sky.

Liu Ming lowered his head, wiped away his tears with his cuffs, and choked up: "But...... I don't want to. I don't want you to suffer like me......"
