Chapter 224: The Heir
Since the day of the burial of Mrs. Liu has been determined, the relatives of the Liu family have rushed back one after another. In the next few days, there were almost endless banquets, and all the relatives and friends of the Liu family feasted on these people who were invited to do things for the Liu family, including me and Jiang Yifeng, Zuo Lanshan and the eight immortals he brought with him.
Banquets come and go, in fact, it's just a peace of mind. It's like if people don't eat your food and don't serve your bowls, things won't be handled well. It's a tradition, but it's also a sign of passion, especially in a small place like ours.
And on the evening of the third day, I met a man at the wine table.
This person's name is Liu Yunjiu, and he looks younger than Liu Yuncong, and he ranks about six in the clan. is a very informal person, when Liu Yuncong introduced me to me, he asked me to call him the sixth brother according to his age.
This person looks like a man in the rivers and lakes, and he really looks like a person in the rivers and lakes. Perhaps because of his personality, he and Jiang Yifeng are very close to each other, and within a few words, Jiang Yifeng is very familiar with him. Later, they even sat together.
It wasn't until the three rounds of wine and the five flavors of food that Jiang Yifeng finally came back from Liu Yunjiu's side, and seeing that no one was gathered around me for the time being, he took the opportunity to come to my ear and said to me: "I have inquired, that guy is the heir of the old man to the fourth old man and their family." ”
At that time, I had already taken turns to toast several rounds of wine, not to mention half a catty of wine, and my brain couldn't help but be a little wooden. After listening to him for a long time, I reacted. My head shook and I felt more comfortable.
"What do you say? The son of the fourth old man? I wasn't sure if I heard it wrong, so I asked again.
Jiang Yifeng nodded and said to me, "Otherwise, what do you think I will talk to him about?" I talked to him a lot and I got to know a lot of his problems. I'm sure that's the one to whom your many omens point to! ”
Hearing him say this, I took a serious look at the guy named Liu Yunjiu.
With so many banquets, it was by far the most meaningful. Looking at that guy from a distance, I inexplicably felt that he had some love for me, and I didn't want to help him.
"Is there a chance to ask him out for a chat alone?" I asked Jiang Yifeng.
Jiang Yifeng patted his chest and said to me, "No problem! The two of us fell in love and had a great time chatting just now. If I had asked him out, he would have come out. ”
"Then it's troublesome." I said, "Let's ask him out tomorrow and sit down with him." ”
"Okay." Jiang Yifeng nodded happily immediately, but then, he looked at me strangely and asked, "Why tomorrow?" ”
I watched him and didn't speak, and after a while, Liu Yuncong had already walked towards me with a person. Both of them were holding bowls in their hands, and the contents of the bowl did not need to be guessed, and there would be nothing else except liquor.
Liu Yuncong brought someone to me and explained to me: "Little coffin master, this is what I told you, my nephew, his name is Zou Yi." Zou Yi, why don't you say hello to the little coffin? ”
Zou Yi looked about the same age as me, and after listening to Liu Yuncong's instructions, he immediately stepped forward with a wine bowl and toasted with me.
"Little coffin, I often hear my uncle talk about you, and I admire you very much! Come on, dry this bowl! I respect you! As he spoke, he picked up the bowl as if he was about to do it.
But I've also been 'tested by alcohol', how could I be deceived by him?
At this time when the wine is drunk, basically those who can avoid it will be avoided, and those who can be relied on will be relied upon. Anyway, everyone's brains don't work very well, who can see so clearly?
He crackled the abacus, and the wine bowl was raised, but the wine may not have been taken a few sips. His eyes were supposed to be looking up in the same direction as he looked up, but he obviously didn't, and only looked at me from time to time.
I glanced at Jiang Yifeng, smiled at him, and then fell on the table with a thud.
I heard Liu Yuncong screaming eagerly, and then arranged for Jiang Yifeng to send me back first.
Jiang Yifeng's hand held me up, and took the opportunity of bending down to help me, and whispered in my ear: "You are treacherous enough!" ”
yes, otherwise, can I go back to just drinking like this? That's wine, not water. And even if it's plain water, you can die if you drink it like this!
That night, Jiang Yifeng sent me back to the house where I lived, and the two of us made an appointment to ask Liu Yunjiu to go out to talk the next day, and then he went back to his room to rest.
Because I had drunk too much the night before, I woke up the next day more than just three poles of the sun. Looking at the position of the sun, I thought it would be almost lunchtime.
Thinking of the agreement with Jiang Yifeng yesterday, I immediately couldn't take care of my still dizzy and swollen head, hurriedly got dressed, wiped my face with cold water, opened the door, and was about to go out.
But just as I was walking out, I was hit hard by an oncoming person. The blow was so hard that I couldn't stand on my feet and almost fell to the ground.
Finally stabilized my figure, I raised my head, only to find that it was Jiang Yifeng.
"What are you doing?" I was a little upset about his recklessness, shook my head, and said to him, "What? Burning eyebrows? In such a hurry! ”
Jiang Yifeng said to me with an innocent face: "How did I know that you got up?" I was going to come in and call you, but who knows, you get up so early? ”
"Early?" I glanced out the window, then turned my head to look at Jiang Yifeng to make sure he didn't say the wrong thing, "Forget it, I'm up now anyway." What time did you make an appointment with someone? Don't be late, it's not good. ”
Jiang Yifeng looked at me for a long time, as if he was reminiscing. After a long while, he let out a long sigh, and then said, "You're talking about Liu Yunjiu!" I made an appointment with him for the night. ”
"At night?" When I heard this, I couldn't help but be even more surprised, "If you made an appointment with him for the night, then you will call me now...... What do you mean? ”
"What do you mean?" Jiang Yifeng's eyes widened and said, "It's just to tell you to get up for lunch!" Hurry up, the old man is waiting for you! ”
"Old man?"
There are too many things that make me strange, you know, the old man of the Liu family has a very high status in the family, generally speaking, with him, the younger generations below will tremble when they have a meal. Therefore, it is said that unless it is an important day, the old man basically does not eat with everyone.
Today, however, it seems to be an exception.
I didn't hear about what important day it was, but Jiang Yifeng told me that the old man was waiting for me.
When Jiang Yifeng and I came downstairs together, I realized that it was not everyone who ate together. It's the old man who wants to have a meal with me alone, of course, eating is always a small thing, and the important thing is that we may need to talk about something between us.
Because the old man wanted to eat alone with me, even his son Liu Yuncong and Jiang Yifeng, who had been with me, couldn't be around.
I sat across from the old man, and although he was amiable, I couldn't help but feel a little nervous.
"Old man, do you have any orders?" I asked as respectfully as I could.
The old man smiled at me and said, "I don't have any orders, but I just want to have a casual chat with you." ”
As he spoke, the old man really started chatting with me. Although he didn't say a word to me, out of respect for the old man, I still had to be 120,000 careful to accompany me. But as I chatted, I felt that something was wrong.
