After the old man taught his aunt to come to the door, he was anxious. I had great hopes for the Lord Regent before, but after so much time, he didn't take any action, so he didn't want to help. He couldn't concentrate on reconciling accounts in the store all day, thinking about what else he could do.

Finally, he sighed dejectedly, what else could he do? The king wants the minister to die, the minister can't not die, the world belongs to the emperor, don't say a woman, even if he wants all the property of the Liu family, he can't say no.

"Boss, what's not going on?" The general accountant of the store, Mu Rentong, always sighed when he saw him, and couldn't help but ask.

The old man shook his head, this matter really can't be said casually, if you are not careful, it will be a matter of killing the head, he said: "It's okay, it's just that I think of things at home, and I'm a little annoyed." ”

Mu Rentong was relieved: "It's useless to worry, I believe that you young owners will be sensible in the future." ”

The old man smiled reluctantly, "Hopefully!" But I never had such a hope in my heart.

At this time, Liu An also came in, holding a pot of tea in his hand, walked up to the old man in a decent manner, and said, "Grandpa, I made a pot of tea, it was the fifth brother who taught me to make it, grandpa tried me to make it well?" Shou Tou showed his hand in the store before, and Liu An was very interested, so he asked Shou Tou to teach him. Although Liu An is not very good to Shoutou, he never makes it difficult for Shoutou, and even sometimes when Shoutou is bullied, he will not be able to see it and help him, so Shoutou has a deep affection for him, and he knows it in Shoutou, as long as he is not a bully person, he is a very good person.

Liu An has already married, married to Yan Hui, the daughter of the governor of Lanzhou, Yan Hui is a beautiful lady, rarely out of her own yard, embroidering flowers every day to make needlework, or reading and writing, but also won the favor of the old man.

Liu An is the son of the second young master Liu Jiyu, born to his wife, ranked second in the Liu family, and is a little smart, but in the end, he is a rich child, and he does not know how to be sophisticated, compared to Liu Jidi's eldest son Liu Qin, it is a little worse. Liu Qin is a gentle person, it can be said that if there is anyone in the Liu family who protects Shoutou besides the old man, then there is only Liu Qin. It's just that Liu Qin is in charge of the affairs of the tea garden, and he rarely asks about the affairs of the store, and he doesn't often go home, so Shoutou, the protector, can be said to have it or not.

When the old man was upset at the moment, he heard Liu An say that it was Ye'er who taught him to brew tea, and he was even more sad, it was rare to find someone for Ye'er, but he was also taken away, this child has a hard life in his life!

Liu An poured a cup and handed it to the old man, "Grandpa, can you try it?" ”

The old man took it, put it under his nose and smelled it, the tea fragrance was fragrant, and it suddenly made people feel refreshed, he put it on his lips again, and the warm tea soup swirled along the tongue, and when the tea fragrance spread, there was a silky feeling from the throat all the way down, he said: "Is it Chen tea?" ”

"Yes, it's brewed with dew." Liu An saw that the old man was quite appreciative, and he couldn't help but be happy.

"Where did the dew come from?" The old man asked in amazement.

"It was collected by the fifth brother, and he said that it would be much smoother to make aged tea with dew, and he gave his grandson an urn." Liu An replied.

When the old man heard this, he was even more sad, and he didn't know what to do. After a long time, he sighed and said: "An'er, if grandpa is not there in the future, this younger brother, you have to cherish him and don't allow anyone to bully him." "Long Yinle is afraid that he will not be able to stay, it is imminent, in addition to Ye'er's future livelihood, there is also a way out for his family's business. As a last resort, he is unwilling to split his family, but if he does not divide his family before his death, after his death, he is afraid that this group of unfilial sons will fight for life and death.

Liu An responded: "Yes, my grandson knows!" ”

The old man looked at him and had a lot of things to say, but after all, he couldn't say anything, first of all, even if he did, he might not understand, and secondly, he didn't necessarily have enough understanding to take on a big responsibility.

Just when the old man was at a loss, Shao Guohan, the guard in the regent's palace, came.

The old man hurriedly ordered people to go out, leaving only Guohan and him in the Zhang room.

Guohan came to pass the word, and he said: "The prince said that if you want the emperor to dispel your thoughts, the best way is to let everyone in the capital know that Long Yinle is the granddaughter-in-law of the Liu Mansion." The emperor is now unpopular with the people, if there is another affair like this, the people will be disappointed in him, and the emperor will not take such a risk. ”

The old man's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly asked for advice, "Excuse me, how to tell the capital?" You can't put up a post, can you? This is too deliberate, and there is a suspicion of resistance. ”

Guohan smiled, "The prince said that the old man himself will know what to do." ”

The old man pondered for a while, but he was still at a loss, and finally, he said: "Thank you Shao Guard, and thank the prince on behalf of the old man!" ”

"You're welcome, old man!" Guohan arched his hand, "Then I'll retire first." ”

"Walk slowly!" The old man hurriedly said.

After Shao Guohan left, the old man locked himself in the account room, thinking for a long time, he thought about everything since Yin Le entered the mansion, and thought about his unfilial descendants, and sighed long.

He is old, I hope he didn't see the wrong person, and the dangerous moves were also for the sake of peace in the future, if it is good, there is still hope for the Liu family, if it is bad, where can it be worse?

He called Liu An and said solemnly: "Tonight, you inform everyone in the family that you must go home for dinner." ”

Liu An asked, "Grandpa, is something wrong?" "He knew the man, he was a guard in the Regent's Palace, he had met twice before, but he hadn't met.

The old man glanced at him meaningfully, and asked instead of answering, "An'er, what do you think of your fifth brother's daughter-in-law?" ”

Liu An was stunned, "Fifth brother and sister? ”

"Well, what do you think of her?" The old man asked again.

Liu An thought for a while and said, "She is bold, and her temper is not very good, but she has a good heart." ”

"Oh? You analyze it and listen to it. The old man said with interest.

Liu An smiled, "Bold, naturally it means that she is not even afraid of her grandfather, and she often contradicts her grandfather." As for her temper, her grandson really thinks she has a bad temper, she doesn't like to talk to people, she always keeps a straight face, to be honest, sometimes her grandson is afraid of her. As for saying that she has a good heart, it naturally means that she is good to the fifth brother, and her grandson has seen her wipe her sweat for the fifth brother several times, and the fifth brother has always been disliked in the house, but although she occasionally scolded the fifth brother, she was sincerely good to him. ”

"Don't you think she deliberately treated your brother well in front of people? Maybe he's bullying your brother behind his back. The old man asked again.

Liu An smiled, "That's not going to happen, what is hypocrisy, what is true feelings, grandchildren won't not know how to score." Moreover, her love for her fifth brother is not the love of men and women, but the love of her sister for her younger brother. ”

"That's enough, if her love is for a lifetime, even if grandpa dies, he can die with peace of mind." The old man sighed, he is more than eighty years old this year, to put it mildly, even if he has a ninety-year-old life, there are a few years left, a few years of time, in a blink of an eye, he is not afraid of death, but he can't rest assured of the people and things behind him.

Liu An was a little frightened, "It's so decent, how can grandpa say bad things?" ”

The old man was silent, looking down at the keys on the table, this set of keys is the key to all valuables and accounts in the store and at home, and it is the key to the Liu family.

He reached out and stroked it gently, and his heart was already measured.
