"Dad, come home with me, I'll prepare wine and food with my sister to wash the dust for you!"

Liu Jitang was full of excitement and dragged the hand of a lazy man and walked quickly towards the village, Liu Jitang's brother and sister's father was over fifty years old, his appearance was not good, and his face was full of stubble and his feet did not leave the ground, which looked quite sloppy. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoWho would have thought that a son and a daughter born to such an unremarkable lazy man would be so handsome? And behind this man were more than 20 northern border guards in armor and knives, all of which showed this person's good status in northern Xinjiang.

If Lu Yifan is still there, he will definitely be able to recognize his identity, the father that Liu Jitang and Liu Zitang brothers and sisters said is actually the banner owner of the Northern Xinjiang Border Guard Mansion, Liu Tang. Among the crowd who received Lu Yifan after the saddle by Su Shiyuan's side half a year ago, he was the one who was there.

Liu Tang's sons and daughters, one is named Liu Jitang and the other is Liu Zitang. Thinking about it, Liu Tang is also quite arrogant, and the names he gave his children were all ranked down according to his own names.

The villagers saw Liu Tang appear, but Liu Tang didn't seem to be interested, and followed behind Liu Jitang with an excited face all the way with half-squinted eyes. The obscene man who followed Liu Tang was Liu Tang's nephew, Liu Er. Liu Er is also the son of the uncle's family that Liu Zitang and Liu Jitang said.

"Jitang, why are you yourself?" Liu Er looked domineering and asked Liu Jitang, "Uncle Tang is back, why doesn't he, who is a daughter, come out to greet him?"

"Don't blame my cousin, my sister may not know that her father is back, we will be home in front of us, maybe my sister is preparing wine and food for my father at home!" Liu Jitang knew that his sister had a grudge against Liu Tang, so at this moment, he could only smile and play a round without explaining much.

"This girl is really getting more and more ignorant, and she has no manners at all. Liu Er said to himself, "Uncle Tang, we have to teach her well, if not......"

"Okay!" Liu Tang interrupted Liu Er's words impatiently, and then turned back to the border guard mansion behind him and said, "There are a few dilapidated houses of my Liu family at the west entrance of the village, you can go there to rest tonight!

"Yes!" Hearing Liu Tang's order, more than two dozen northern border guards walked towards the west of the village after giving a salute, leaving only one Liu Er to wait by Liu Tang's side. After all, Liu Er is a member of the Liu family, so he naturally lives in Liu Tang's house tonight.

As he spoke, Liu Jitang had already taken Liu Tang and Liu Er to the door of Liu's house, pushing the door into the courtyard Liu Tang couldn't help but be slightly stunned when he looked at the scene in front of him, he had not returned from home for two years, and now this place is as simple as before.

"Dad, let's go into the house and talk!" Liu Jitang warmly greeted Liu Tang and Liu Er into the house, this scene was as if Liu Tang and Liu Er were guests who came to visit the door, and it didn't look like they were going back to their own home. Entering the house, Liu Jitang hurriedly shouted: "Sister, don't come out to see your father soon!" and Liu Tang sat straight at the table, Liu Er hurriedly picked up the teapot on the table and wanted to pour tea for Liu Tang, but he didn't think that he held the teapot and poured it for a long time, and there was not even a drop of water in the spout.

"Jitang, what's the matter?, why didn't you even prepare a tea at home?" Liu Er scolded dissatisfiedly, "Uncle Tang finally came back, you can't even serve tea as children, right?"

"Dad came back suddenly, so I didn't prepare, I'm going to boil water, I'm going!" Liu Jitang knew that this must have been Liu Zitang who came back early just now and deliberately poured out the water in the teapot, but he couldn't say it explicitly, so he could only prevaricate, "Dad and cousin are here to wait for me for a while, and they will ......be fine soon."

"No need!" Before Liu Jitang went to boil water with an embarrassed face, Liu Tang suddenly said, "Call Zitang out, I have something to say to your brothers and sisters!"

Liu Jitang was stunned for a moment, then nodded hurriedly, turned around and walked quickly to Liu Zitang's room, the two argued in the room for a while, and Liu Zitang was reluctantly "dragged" out by Liu Jitang. As soon as he saw Liu Zitang, Liu Tang's originally lazy and disdainful expression became a little softened, but he wanted to say a word to his daughter, but he didn't think that after Liu Zitang came out, he stood by the wall without saying a word, stubbornly twisted his head and deliberately didn't look at Liu Tang.

"Cousin, didn't you see Uncle Tang sitting here?" Liu Er scolded.

"This is my house, what are you doing here?" Liu Zitang sneered, "Go back to your own house!"

Liu Er's face turned red and said, "This is my home, where do you want me to go?" Whether you admit it or not, I am your cousin. Facing Liu Er's cheekiness, Liu Zitang snorted lightly and simply stopped paying attention to him.

In fact, there is indeed some mustard between Liu Tang and his children, but the reason for the conflict is not Liu Jitang and Liu Zitang, but their mother, that is, Liu Tang's wife. Two years ago, Liu Tang's family was quite happy, but because Liu Tang had been promoted to the banner owner by Su Shiyuan at that time, he was quite busy with official duties on weekdays, and the number of times he went home became less and less, the most unfortunate thing is that Liu Tang's wife is not a well-behaved woman, she actually had an affair with outsiders in the days when Liu Tang was not at home, and this matter was later known by Liu Tang, although Liu Tang himself was not a decent gentleman, but as a man was still difficult to swallow such a shameful humiliation, and finally he poisoned his wife in a fit of anger。 Liu Tang did not tell anyone the truth of the matter, including Liu Jitang and Liu Zitang, but secretly told the border guard that their mother died violently. But after this incident, Liu Tang still felt angry, so he passed on his anger towards his wife to his children, he believed that his wife did not abide by women's morals, and the two children taught over the years must also be the obscene generation of male thieves and female prostitutes, and he even wondered if these two children were his own flesh and blood, and whether they would be the evil seeds born of his wife's fornication with others when she was young. Liu Tang has never been the kind of person who gets to the bottom of things, so as long as he has such a thought in his heart, he will quickly determine it, and he will not find out the truth and set his pair of children as "not forgiving the death penalty", and Liu Jitang and Liu Zitang have really suffered a great wrong. It's just that this knot has been buried deep in Liu Tang's heart, which is the real reason why Liu Jitang and Liu Zitang can't untie it no matter what.

Since then, Liu Tang has never returned, and his children have completely become children that no one wants. Liu Tang would rather regard his eldest brother's child Liu Er as his own than look at his own children, because he can always see the shadow of his wife in them. Over time, Liu Jitang still had hope, but Liu Zitang buried a grudge against Liu Tang in his heart, and it gradually deepened with the passage of time.

"If there's anything to say, just say it!" Liu Zitang completely ignored the eldest brother's eyes on him, and said to Liu Tang coldly, "We are poor here, so we won't stay longer with the flag master." ”

Hearing Liu Zitang's words, Liu Tang's face inadvertently flashed with a touch of sad anger, and after hesitating for a long time in his heart, Liu Tang still abandoned all thoughts, and opened his mouth bluntly: "Zi'er, I have found a family affair for you, and someone will bring someone to pick you up tomorrow to get married." ”

"What?" Liu Tang's words surprised Liu Jitang and Liu Zitang at the same time, and before Liu Jitang could ask, Liu Zitang had resolutely refused, "I won't marry!"

"Bastard!" Liu Er's eyes widened, and he shouted, "Do you know how many twists and turns Uncle Tang has spent for this family affair of yours? Do you know who the other party is? If it weren't for Uncle Tang and I praising you like a fairy, would you have such a good opportunity?"

"Hmph!" Liu Zitang didn't appreciate it, and said, "Even if the other party is the emperor, I won't marry, you promised others, then you can marry yourself!"

Liu Jitang saw that Liu Tang's face became more and more ugly, and hurriedly said: "Dad, my sister has never even met with others, how can this work? This is a lifelong event, how can it be child's play? Even if my father finds a good family for his sister, is it not ...... for them to meet first?"

"There's no need for that at all!" Liu Er sneered, "It's not the lady of the main house that Ming Media is marrying, it's just a partial house for others." I don't want to think about what my identity is, is it possible that I still want to be hired?

"What are you talking about?" Now even Liu Jitang's good temper can't be tolerated, and he asked rhetorically with a frown, "It's not that Ming Media is marrying, it's a concubine for someone else?" Liu Tang said coldly: "Yes." Liu Jitang said: "Dad, Zitang is your own daughter, how can you let her be someone else's concubine?

"What do you know?" Liu Er sneered, "Even if you are a concubine, the dowry given by others is enough for your brothers and sisters to eat for a lifetime." ”

Liu Jitang shook his head resolutely and said: "No matter how much dowry they give, I can't let my sister be a concubine for others, absolutely not!"

"Uncle Tang accepted all the dowry, are you objecting? aren't you kidding me?" Liu Er's eyes narrowed, and he asked coldly, "Although the eldest brother is like a father, Uncle Tang is still alive and well now, and it is not your turn to call the shots in this family business!"

Liu Jitang's face became more and more anxious when he heard this, his eyes were fierce, and then he hurriedly turned around and took out a black cloth bag from the cabinet behind him, and then threw the black cloth bag on the table, and said: "We don't want a dowry, these are our apologies, I think it should be enough." ”

Liu Tang stared at the black cloth pocket suspiciously, Liu Er opened the black cloth bag straight with his hand and poured out the contents one by one. Suddenly, a ball of gold thread, a fine fur velvet, two priceless jade pendants, and a belt of golden jade silk were all poured on the table. These are all things on Lu Yifan's body, which Liu Er secretly hid when he was changing Lu Yifan's clothes, and the gold thread was extracted from Lu Yifan's robe after Liu Er tore it apart. Don't look at these things, but if they are put in the pawnshop, they can get a lot of money that they can't even think of.

"Yo-hee, it's really good. Liu Er stared at the things on the table in surprise, and a pair of mouse eyes couldn't help but flash a look of greed.

"Brother, this is someone else's thing, how can you ......?"

"Sister, let's borrow him!" Liu Jitang said urgently, "It's a big deal, I just want one less of the ten boxes of jewelry he promised us." ”

"Ten boxes of jewels?" Liu Er's ears were extremely pointed, and he immediately heard the key point in Liu Jitang's words, and then asked with a smile, "Cousin, what are the ten boxes of pearls you mentioned just now? Who are you talking about? And where did you get these valuable things?"

Liu Tang stared at these things on the table suspiciously, and when he saw the high-grade fur, he couldn't help but feel a sense of déjà vu in his heart, but no matter how much he thought about it, he couldn't think of where he had seen it. The fur velvet was originally a big coat, but Lu Yifan tore off most of it in the bloody battle, and then Liu Jitang cut off a large piece of the bloodstained one, so the piece of fur velvet that was now placed in front of Liu Tang was only less than three feet square.

"Ji'er, Zi'er, you tell me the truth, where did you get these things?" Liu Tang had a vague sense of foreboding in his heart, so he asked in a deep voice, "Don't lie to me!"

"You're going to sell me for money, why should I tell you?" Liu Zitang retorted stubbornly, "What's more, none of these things are ours, and you can't take them." ”

"It's up to you to decide whether you take it or not......," Liu Er said and was about to reach out and pick up the things on the table, but before his hand touched the two most valuable jade pendants, Liu Tang slapped Liu Er's face hard, so frightened that Liu Er couldn't react to anything for a long time, so he could only look at Liu Tang with a look of grievance, and shouted: "Uncle Tang......"

"Either get out, or you just shut up and sit quietly on the sidelines, and then dare to interject to see if I don't cut your tongue." Today's Liu Tang is no longer the veteran oil son of the year, but the flag master of the border guard mansion for many years, at this moment, his eyes are quite majestic, so frightened that Liu Er hurriedly sat back on the stool with his head down, not daring to say anything more.

"Say, where did these things come from?" Liu Tang shouted angrily, "When I came in just now, I saw that the door of the side room was open, is there an outsider at home?"

Hearing Liu Tang's words, Liu Er's eyes rolled, and then he hurriedly took out a wanted portrait from his arms, and the person painted on this notice was Lu Yifan. Liu Er took out the portrait not because he suspected anything, but because during this time, he would take out this portrait to inquire about it almost everywhere he went, which had long become a habit of routine, so as soon as he heard that Liu Tang had a stranger, he immediately subconsciously took out the portrait.

"What are you doing?" Liu Tang glared at Liu Er angrily.

"Didn't Uncle Tang teach me that as long as there are living people, you have to compare the portraits...... Ask?" Under Liu Tang's eyes that were about to breathe fire, Liu Eryue's voice became quieter, and in the end, he was almost unable to hear it, and the portrait in his hand did not dare to open it privately.

Liu Tang stretched out his hand and pointed at Liu Jitang and said, "Ji'er, you have always listened to your father the most. Tell me, where did all this stuff come from? Are there outsiders in the house?"

"I ......" Liu Jitang couldn't help but look a little cramped under Liu Tang's questioning, while Liu Zitang on the side looked at his brother with pleading eyes, as if to warn him not to say it, "I ......"

"Stepson, if you tell the truth to your father, then your father will consider not marrying Zi'er to someone else as a concubine. Liu Tang knows his son very well, and he knows when and what kind of words to poke at his weakness.

Sure enough, hearing Liu Tang's condition, Liu Jitang was happy at first, and subconsciously blurted out, but Liu Zitang, who was standing beside him, reached out and pinched his arm first, and Liu Jitang, who was in pain, suddenly let out a cry of pain.

"Bang!"

Liu Tang was not the kind of person who was very patient, but he suddenly got up, staring at his children with a pair of cold eyes like staring at the enemy, and shouted in a deep voice word by word: "I'll ask you one last time, whose are these things?"

"Why are you a family so stiff? these things are mine!"

Just when Liu Jitang and Liu Zitang were hesitating, a clear voice suddenly came from outside the room, and then I saw Lu Yifan, who had already washed up and regained his handsome appearance, and walked into the room with a smile.

"Master Liu, we're meeting again!"
