Chapter 51: Liu Zhan returns home
Yan Xin should have thought that she was such a demon king in the Liu family, and it was impossible for the Su family to just watch it.
No, Liu Zhan rushed back from the Huainan military camp overnight yesterday, saying that he accidentally fell off his horse and was injured, and he had to go home to recuperate.
But looking at the way he came to Yanxin to greet him as soon as he came back, where did he seem to be injured?
"I haven't seen her for a few days, but Sister Yanxin is really shining brighter."
Liu Valve stood in front of Yan Xin, and his hypocritical smile was almost the same as his mother's mold and came out immediately.
He is not tall, obviously the same age as Wei'er but half a head lower than him, not only that, look at the stupid meat on his face, I don't know what he has eaten since he was a child.
I don't believe it when he fell from his horse, but it is very likely that he was too heavy to crush the horse.
"Where, there are fewer people in the house, the ears are clean, and the natural appearance is radiant."
Yanxin's words are to warn their mother and son not to try to do anything in the Liu family, otherwise Yanxin will not give up.
Liu Zhan naturally understood such an off-string sound, but he still followed the words.
"In the past, Zhan'er was very neglectful of my sister in the house, and in the future, my sister will call me as my own brother."
What an obvious climbing relationship, Su Shi can't wait to curse himself in front of the gods and Buddhas every day, and Liu Tang'er can't hate to slash herself, but this Liu Zhan is unique, and hurriedly went to Yanxin to make up here, I really don't know what medicine is sold in the gourd.
But since he sent it to the door, Yanxin naturally wanted to give Su Shi and Liu Tang'er face.
She knocked on the table and reminded, "Since that's all the talk, then I'm not welcome." ”
Liu Zhan's appearance of not panicking at all aroused suspicion.
"You just tell you to."
Yan Xin cleared his throat and pointed to the wooden barrel beside his couch.
"It's a hot day, and my feet are sweaty, so if you have nothing to do, you can make me a basin and wash my feet."
As soon as the words fell, the corners of Liu Zhan's mouth twitched obviously, and the entire Liu family knew that this young master had always been served, and he had never poured water on his own clothes until he was ten years old, and now the precious son of the Su family wanted to wash his feet, and he felt relieved when he thought about it.
Originally, Yanxin thought that Liu Zhan would definitely refuse, and then scolded and went back to Su Shi to complain. Who knew that this kid actually strode to pick up the bucket of feasting.
"Sister, please take a break, Zhan'er will go to fetch water immediately."
Wouldn't it, this kid has changed sex?
Yan Xin lay on the windowsill with doubts and stared at Liu Zhan's actions, but he didn't expect that he really hit half a basin of hot hands and mixed it with cold water, and he didn't forget to add petals to it.
He was so attentive, Yan Xin was really uncomfortable, and the only thing Yan Xin could think of was that this Liu Zhan must have been poisoned in the water.
When he entered the house, Yan Xin pretended to be reading a book again, and he didn't make a sound.
Seeing that there was no movement, Liu Zhan reminded: "Sister Yanxin, the water is here." ”
"Let it go." Yan Xin glanced at him, suggesting that he could go.
Liu Zhan respectfully placed the basin at Yanxin's feet, and then took two steps back. "Sister Yanxin, the temperature of this water is just right, and it will be cold after a while."
"Then you throw the handkerchief in it and soak it in water and wring it out, and I will wipe my hands first."
He didn't dare to use this water banquet indiscriminately, so he could only let Liu Zhan test the poison first, but he didn't expect this kid to be very active, so he immediately went to get the handkerchief.
Seeing that he was not uncomfortable at all, Yan Xin could only take the handkerchief and rub it in his hand a few times.
"After staying in the barracks for so long, I really learned something, and I will praise you a few more words in front of my father when I am free."
Yan Xin didn't forget to take out his father to test him, if he really had something, then his father knew that he would be the first to look for him in the future.
"So thank you Sister Yanxin for her support."
Even so, Liu Zhan's face did not change, and he looked like he had a clear conscience.
Soon after Liu Zhan left, Yanxin used several methods to test, but the results were the same, that is, a basin of ordinary foot washing water.
Yan Xin really can't understand, Liu Zhan is doing so many scenes just to take time out of his busy schedule to delay his time for a few incense sticks?
It's okay to do a play once, but this Liu Zhan actually came to greet him early in the morning for three consecutive days, and even Jing'er muttered that the second young master had done all the work.
Later, the banquet gradually got used to it, until the father returned, and the family had a meal.
Tonight, Su Shi was very attentive, and he didn't even target the banquet, and he devoted himself to picking up vegetables for the willow valve.
"Master, don't you know, in the academy and the barracks, the master and deputy generals all praise Zhan'er for being a good seedling. Don't look at him like this, you can learn to use your skills. ”
Su Shi and Liu Zhan each sat next to Liu Valve, laughing and laughing, and Liu Tang'er was also well-behaved and lovely, chewing slowly all the time and saying nothing.
"Indeed, the people over there in Huainan also told me that Zhan'er is indeed good and can take on a big responsibility."
Liu Valve also nodded, agreeing with Liu Zhan's recent performance.
"Not only that, in the past few days, in addition to going to Yanxin to ask An to help do some small things, Zhan'er has also gone to the shop every day to help, and many little girls are going to him."
Yan Xin, who was pulled into the topic for no reason, could only nod his head, continue to eat his own meal, and pray that the dinner would end soon.
Every time Liu Valve has dinner at home, the juniors in the family have to come out to the same table, which is the rule set by the mother when the banquet heart is very small.
said that he hoped that the family would always be harmonious and beautiful.
Can it really be like that?
Yan Xin doubted in his heart.
"Yes, Dad, recently I went out shopping with some young ladies of the family, and they always asked about Zhan'er, saying that it was a blessing to be able to marry into the Liu family."
Liu Tang'er also smiled and joked, these four people seem to be a couple of deep love, mother and son, filial piety, and happy performance.
At this time, Yan Xin sat alone at the table, like a spectator.
Thinking that his mother had already left, his brother was far away and could not return, and even his younger brother was training in the barracks.
She thought that after she was reborn in a lifetime, she could face it calmly and clear the wilderness, but in the face of family affection, she really couldn't be calm.
"By the way, Uncle Wang told me two days ago that he is old, and I am afraid that some of the outside business will not be able to take care of it, and I think that he will return to his hometown in two years."
After Su finished playing the affectionate wife, the conversation changed.
Liu Valve seemed to remember something, and nodded, "I forgot it, it's time for him to rest after staying in the mansion for so many years." ”
"The concubine thinks that if you are busy all day, someone should help you share it, Zhan'er has been doing well these days, it is better to ......"
It turned out that their abacus was only here, and they wanted Liu Zhan to quickly grasp the power.
How can the feast heart let them get their wish?
She hurriedly put down the dishes and chopsticks, and interjected without waiting for Su Shi to finish speaking.
"Why don't you let me try?"
Everyone was obviously stunned, especially Su Shi, every time she buried a foreshadowing, she was always cut off by Liu Yanxin, this time she had to exert her strength in the face of such a big event.
"Yanxin, one of your daughters is going to get married sooner or later, how can you always show up outside? It's not good for your reputation. ”
Liu Valve also agreed with Su's words, "This is reasonable, I will ask Uncle Wang to arrange a few shops tomorrow and let Zhan'er take care of it first." ”
"Thank you, father."
Liu Zhan hurriedly responded, for fear that Yan Xin would come and snatch away the meat from his mouth in the next moment.
"But master, the steward in this shop is not as good as the family, maybe he will mistakenly believe the instigation of others, saying that Zhan'er is a concubine identity......"
Su Shi paused, and looked at Liu Tang'er with a look, Liu Tang'er understood and quickly took it.
"It's better to ...... The father let the younger brother be the head of the young family, so that those people would not dare to disobey. ”
It seems that the drunken Wen does not mean to drink, the Su family has made up his mind to let Liu Zhan take care of the house, no wonder his behavior has been so abnormal in the past few days.
"Little lady, although your idea is good, it doesn't agree with reason."
Yan Xin couldn't watch what originally belonged to her brother fall into the hands of this kind of person, in case Liu Zhan was in power, then her future efforts would definitely be greatly reduced.
"It stands to reason that this young owner should be a son-in-law, my brother is still here, when will it be Liu Zhan's turn to be an adult child."
In a consultative tone, she rejected the offer.
Su Shi exploded in one fell swoop, and she also knew that Liu Yichen, the sister-in-law, was first-class in terms of talent and martial arts, but he was a little arrogant, otherwise he would not be degraded.
If he really returns to the Liu family one day and agrees with this Liu Yan, then the family business of the Liu family will not be able to fall on her head in this life.
Su Shi didn't eat the food in a hurry, and stood up suddenly, with his hands on his waist, looking at the posture, he just wanted to reason with Yanxin.
"Your brother Liu Yichen? Aren't you harming our Liu family? In the entire court, who doesn't know that this Liu Yichen has offended His Majesty, and the name of dispatch is actually a distribution, how can a guilty person be in power? ”
In contrast, Yan Xin was a lot calmer, and he also reminded Liu Valve's ability of his brother.
"Auntie, what happened after this is still unknown, how can you conclude that my brother will not make contributions in his life?"
Liu Valve threw the bowl on the table with a "bang", and looked angry.
"That's it!"
Su Shi immediately realized that something was too wrong, and quickly sat down with his eyebrows lowered, and Yan Xin also lowered his head and closed his mouth.
Liu Valve sighed, how could he not know about the open and secret battles in this mansion, since ancient times, the peace of the homes of rich and noble families has been the most difficult, but no matter how hard he tries, there is no way to stop these things from happening.
How can deeply ingrained beliefs be easily changed?
"Don't say a word, tomorrow Zhan'er will go to manage the shop for two days, and I'll look at the situation in a month, if Zhan'er is really doing well, then the position of this young owner should be a capable person."
Liu Zhan took the order and looked like he was obeying his father's orders.
"It's my father, if Zhan'er doesn't do well, then I am willing to give up the position of the young head of the family, whether it is the elder brother or the younger brother, aren't they all the descendants of my Liu family in the end?"
This is said without leakage, and it is generous and decent on the surface, but in fact, it is just a hint that he is the son of the Liu family like Liu Yichen, and his body is the blood of the Liu family, so there is no difference between the concubines.
Yanxin lost his appetite at all, and he didn't want to watch this family act anymore, so he left a sentence and went back to the room when he was full.
