Chapter 13: Little Nerd
"Sir, eat more! You haven't eaten well these days. This pine nut fish is your favorite food on weekdays. Seeing Liu Qing on the dishes and chopsticks, Mrs. Ai persuaded in a low voice.
"Madame, eat well! "How can Liu Qing have an appetite, eldest brother, the body of the second brother has not been found until now, and the day after tomorrow will be the first seven.
If you can't find it tomorrow, you can only use the mound of clothes, and hold a funeral to bury it first.
"Master, there will be a funeral tomorrow, and I asked you to send someone to inform Ying'er, why hasn't Ying'er arrived yet?
The eldest daughter who married herself, why hasn't Liu Ying arrived yet, seeing that there will be a funeral in the house tomorrow.
"I've already let someone know, there may be something delayed, and it will be there in the afternoon! Ying'er, this kid knows the severity, you don't have to worry about it. "The eldest daughter, Liu Ying, married the son of the chief catcher of Linxian County the year before last.
Every New Year's holiday, he will come to pay homage to filial piety, he is very well-behaved and sensible, Liu Qing is not too worried about his daughter.
"Sir, ma'am... Liu Qing and his wife saw the old slave Yang Fa and shouted loudly as they ran inside. I was surprised, this Yang Fa has been a slave in the dart game for decades, and he has always been steady, but he is so panicked for some reason.
"What's the matter!" Liu Qing asked with a frown, thinking that there was something wrong.
"Master, the second son is back," Yang Fa said breathlessly, and handed the jade pendant in his hand to Liu Qing.
"What are you talking about?" Liu Qing didn't understand for a moment and was blindfolded.
Mrs. Ai immediately stood up, hurriedly bypassed the dining table, took the jade pendant in the old slave's hand, and looked at it carefully. When he saw the word "Liu Yu" engraved on the white jade pendant, he turned back to Liu Qing excitedly and said, "Master, it's Yu'er, Yu'er is back." ”
Liu Qing came back to his senses, took the jade pendant and asked Yang Fa, "Where is Yu'er?"
"Sir, at the gate. Before Yang Fa finished speaking, Liu Qing and his wife trotted out.
Liu Yu stood in front of the gate, trying to recall, remembering the blurred faces of his parents, and his heart was both excited and a little flustered. At the same time, I was a little worried, and I didn't know what happened to the dart game.
"Yu'er!"
Liu Yu followed the prestige, and a group of people poured out of the door, and at the forefront was a middle-aged woman in a white filial piety dress, with tears falling on her white and solemn face. Followed by a middle-aged man in a white Confucian suit, his majestic face was unbearably excited at this time, and behind him was a group of servants dressed in plain clothes.
"Yu'er, I'm my mother's mother! Let my mother take a good look at you. After Mrs. Ai approached, she grabbed Liu Yu's hand and put it in her palm, and looked at Liu Yu carefully.
"You're back. Liu Qing was so happy for a while that he didn't know where to start.
I haven't seen him for more than ten years, and my children have grown up. And a table of talents, the spirit is high. I think that when Liu Yu left home, he was only seven years old. My wife cried for a while.
"Fathers, mothers, children are not filial. Liu Yu was surrounded by Liu Qing and his wife, and felt very cordial. knelt down and saluted the two of them to show his unfilial piety that he had not been able to be by his parents' side for many years.
"Yu'er, hurry up. Liu Qing and his wife hurriedly helped Liu Yu up.
"Third brother, is this Yu'er?" At this time, the eldest lady Wang and the second lady Song, who came after hearing this, asked Liu Qing.
When they heard the servant report that the third uncle's child had returned, they hurried over. Liu Yu went to Huangsheng Mountain to practice the immortal method, they are not outsiders, so they naturally know.
"Sister-in-law, yes, it's my son Liu Yu. Mrs. Ai replied excitedly.
"Yu'er, this is the eldest aunt, this is the second aunt. Liu Qing pointed to Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Song and introduced.
"The eldest aunt is good, the second aunt is good. Liu Yu hurriedly bowed to the two aunts.
"Good, good, good" Wang and Song patted Liu Yu after approaching, showing a smile, what they heard these days was bad news, and they both cried into tears. Finally there was something pleasant, and my dull heart was a little lighter.
Then Liu Qing began to introduce Liu Yu to other relatives present. There are several daughters of Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Song, that is, Liu Yu's cousins. There are also two ladies' daughters-in-law, that is, Liu Yu's sisters-in-law.
The family spoke, and the passers-by who had nothing to do gathered around to see the excitement, and the servants in the house who heard the news also talked about it.
"Mother. Suddenly, there was a shout from afar. Three fast horses were galloping towards them.
At the front is a gorgeous woman dressed in a vermilion brocade robe and holding a cyan sword. He was followed by two men, an old man and a young man, both holding long knives in their hands. The older man was dressed in a gray robe, with slightly pale temples, but his face was ruddy and did not look old. The young man is dressed in a blue power suit, with a Chinese face, thick eyebrows and tiger eyes, tall and mighty.
"It's Ying'er, sir. When Mrs. Ai saw the gorgeous woman, she saw at a glance that it was her daughter.
In the front is Liu Qing's daughter Liu Ying, and in the back are Liu Ying's husband Diao Ren and Diao Ren's father Diao Yitian.
Diao Yitian appeared as the chief catcher of Mayuan County, and the official worshiped the six products. A hand of wind and waves has long been spread in the rivers and lakes, and in the early years, one person once exterminated a group of ringing horses. and Liu Qing's three brothers are still old acquaintances, and after Liu Ying married Diao Ren, the two became in-laws, and their friendship became deeper.
This time, Diao postponed his official duties for a day and came together, that is, the Zhiliuyun Dart Bureau was short of manpower, so he came to help. This is also why Liu Ying did not rush to the Liuyun Dart Bureau after receiving the notice.
The trio soon arrived, grabbed the rope in their hands and stopped the horse. Seeing that the handsome horse had not yet stopped, Liu Ying jumped and ran towards Mrs. Ai after landing on the ground.
Liu Qing stepped forward, hugged his hands and said, "Brother Diao, don't come unharmed, you can come, the younger brother is very grateful." When Liu Qing called someone to inform her, he only let Liu Ying go home once, and didn't want his in-laws to come to this troubled water.
"Brother Xian, you're out of sight. Diao got off the horse and approached Liu Qing and said with a smile.
"Father-in-law, please bow to your son-in-law. Diao Ren, who had a slightly darkened complexion, saluted and said
"Ren'er, don't be polite, I'll introduce you to Ying'er's younger brother in the past, my son Liu Yu. Liu Qing helped Diao Ren up and said.
"Brother Xian, you mean that your boy who went away to study has returned. Diao Yitian knew that Liu Qing had a son very early, but he had never met him, saying that he was sent to study in other places at a very young age.
"Mother, what are you doing here, are you here to greet me? Liu Ying held Mrs. Ai's hand and asked as she shook it.
"You're not ashamed. "Mrs. Ai has nothing to do with her daughter's mischievous ghost.
It's easy to move when she plays a little girl, unlike other women, who are not interested in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting at all. danced with knives and guns all day long, and was beaten by Liu Qing, but he didn't repent, and then he couldn't control it.
"Yu'er, this is your sister, don't you remember. Mrs. Ai pointed at Liu Ying with a smile and said
"Sister!" Liu Yu bent down and saluted her sister with both hands in fists.
The eldest sister of her own family, Liu Yu has some images, as if she was bullied a lot when she was a child.
"Little nerd?" Liu Ying was stunned when she heard her mother's words.
She was very happy when she saw her mother, she didn't notice that there was a strange man standing next to her mother, and she didn't expect that this young man would be her younger brother who had been away from home for many years. Thinking of my little brother when I was a child, I didn't go out of the door every day, and I didn't step out of the second door, and I read and practiced calligraphy in the study. I didn't like it very much, so I gave him a nickname.
