After the Chinese New Year, of course Liu Shuyi has to go back to his home to collect it, and then return to Meridian Lane with his trophies, so that the next time he sees the not tall Wang Si, he will show off to her.

Walking into the door, Liu Shuyi threw the small bookcase on his waist towards the servant beside him, and then began to speed up to the lobby.

Liu Shuyi walked through the corridor and came to the lobby, where he was surprised to find that his grandfather was sitting there, receiving guests.

Seeing this situation, Liu Shuyi hurriedly slowed down his pace. While Liu Qian was talking, he saw his grandson walking here, and happily beckoned to Liu Shuyi, "Grandson, come here, grandpa will introduce you." ”

Liu Shuyi walked to his grandfather's side, and Liu Qian said with a smile: "This is the clerk of King Zhao's mansion, Mr. Sima Hui." ”

Liu Qian pointed at Liu Shuyi again and said to Sima Hui: "Mr. Sima, this is my grandson, Liu Shuyi." ”

Where did Liu Shuyi recognize Sima Hui, but Liu Shuyi was much interested in the name of Zhao Wangfu, because he had only heard of the name of King Zhao, but he had never seen a real person.

Liu Shuyi looked at Sima Hui, who looked like a scholar in front of him, smiled, and said, "I've seen Mr. Sima." ”

Sima Hui didn't expect Liu Shuyi to salute him, so he hurriedly got up and saluted back, "I have long heard that Lord Liu's grandson is a prodigy in Chang'an City. ”

Liu Shuyi squinted his eyes and looked at this scholar who was obviously flattering, "It's easy to say, it's easy to say, Mr. Sima Hui is a little weak, and the food in Zhao Wangfu is not very good, do you want to stay and eat after a while, and make up for it?"

Sima Hui was shocked, he didn't expect such a young child to test himself, even if this kind of temptation was very clumsy, but this was very unusual, turned sideways, looked there with his spare eyes, just drank tea, and completely ignored Liu Qian here, Sima Hui was a little confused for the first time in his heart.

"The food in Shangshufu is delicious, but the food in Zhaowangfu is what should be eaten. ”

Liu Qian put down the teacup in his hand and smiled. Liu Shuyi's temptation didn't care about it, although it was very impolite, but Liu Shuyi's temptation was exactly what Liu Qian wanted to do.

Liu Shuyi's previous words and behaviors seem to be just simple, but they are all paving the way for the last sentence, and it is a simple thing for a child to be introduced to outsiders by his grandfather?

No matter how bad the food in Zhao Wangfu is, it is what Sima Hui should eat, and no matter how delicious the food in Shangshu Mansion is, it is also outside food, and it cannot be eaten.

It is a question of faithfulness.

But why did Liu Shuyi ask like this, of course, the old housekeeper whispered in Liu Shuyi's ear when Liu Shuyi ran to the lobby.

Liu Shuyi saw Sima Hui answer like this, and he was not interested, and said to his grandfather: "Grandpa, it's almost the New Year, Mr. has to send some New Year's gifts, I don't have enough money, can you give me some, not much, just five hundred taels." ”

The corners of Sima Hui's mouth, who was sitting on the side, trembled constantly, not much, five hundred taels is enough, you must know that the annual cost of Zhao Wangfu is only one thousand taels, this is not that Zhao Wang is poor, but he put most of the silver into the dragon and tiger ride, and it is precisely in this way that it is made

With the reputation of the dragon and tiger riding on the border, he can compete with the Liangzhou iron horse.

Liu Qian touched his beard and nodded, it's the New Year, you should give some New Year's gifts, but five hundred taels is not too stingy, Liu Qian thought about it for a while, and said directly: "Go to Lao Wang, the one thousand taels of silver, and give your grandfather's New Year's gift to your husband." ”

Liu Shuyi looked at his grandfather with wide eyes, you must know that Liu Shuyi came to ask for money this time, although there are some reasons to buy gifts, but most of them are because he has run out of money recently, and he wants to cut off a part of it as his daily expenses, but he didn't expect his grandfather to be so generous.

"Thank you, Grandpa. ”

Before Liu Qian could say a few more words, Liu Shuyi ran out directly. This is because he is afraid that he will regret it, Liu Qian accidentally pulled his beard, it hurts.

I don't know if it's distress or flesh pain.

Sima Hui said with a smile: "Lord Liu is really a big family, a thousand taels, just give it." ”

Liu Qian listened to Sima Hui's words, and felt a little sour. Of course, Liu Qian knew what it was for, wasn't it that the household department withheld the military salary that should have been issued to the Dragon and Tiger Cavalry, and did not send it to the Dragon and Tiger Rider on time.

"Isn't Mr. Sima a little short of money?"

Knowingly asked, Sima Hui was annoyed in his heart, but for the sake of the military salary of the Dragon and Tiger Cavalry, he still had to laugh with him, and said: "I am not lacking, but the military salary of the Dragon and Tiger Cavalry is lacking a lot, and I have to bother Lord Liu to raise his noble hand to solve the urgent need for the Dragon and Tiger Cavalry, and my King Zhao is grateful." ”

Liu Qian glanced at Sima Hui, picked up the teacup from Daqin on the table, and slowly drank the tea brewed from Xishu tea leaves, and didn't speak, just drank tea.

Sima Hui was also anxious in his heart, looking at the stove in front of him, the faint fire above fell in Sima Hui's eyes, and also fell in his heart, his own prince had been affected by Queen Xia, and after so many years of Taoguang and obscurity, he finally recovered a little bit of vitality, and now he has to suffer a big blow from the household department, which is not a good sign.

"Lord Liu might as well explain the words, my prince also knows Lord Liu's conditions. ”

Liu Qian smiled, it seems that King Zhao is really anxious, and Sima Hui is also a little anxious, otherwise such words would not be able to be said from such a strategist.

"It's nothing, I'm just doing what I'm told. ”

Sima Hui squinted his eyes and said, "It's not interesting for the boss to talk like this. ”

Liu Qian laughed, and then smashed the priceless teacup suddenly, and shook his sleeves, "Even you, Sima Hui, deserve to talk to the old man like this?"

Outside the house, the servants of Shangshu Mansion were all shocked, but they didn't dare to make a sound.

In the house, Sima Hui was not intimidated by Liu Qian's momentum, but laughed out loud.

"Old Shangshu, but the temptation is over?"

Liu Qian, who was furious just now, now has a satisfied look on his face, "Yes, I have withstood the test of the old man." ”

Liu Qian leaned back in the chair, and at this time Liu Qian looked like an old man, "The military salary of the Dragon and Tiger Rider was deducted by His Majesty, you let your prince go to the palace to ask for a will, or I will not be able to make a difference." ”

Sima Hui nodded, the Ming Dynasty can let this old man do things, I'm afraid only His Majesty.

Liu Qian's face was a little sad,

"His Royal Highness King Zhao can be said to have grown up watching me, there is no way, who let my son have a deep friendship with His Royal Highness King Zhao back then. ”

Sima Hui knows some things about Liu Qian's son, Liu Yuntian, who had the deepest friendship with King Zhao, died at the border pass in the north, as a member of the Dragon and Tiger Cavalry, he participated in the rescue of the King of Qi that year, but he did not expect to meet the elite of the Northern Qi Dynasty, the Dragon and Tiger Cavalry was wiped out, and the elite of the Northern Qi Dynasty also stayed on the border.

Liu Qian waved his hand, "Go back and tell King Zhao that the old man will not stand on the side of any prince, and the old man is just a courtier of His Majesty in this life." ”

Sima Hui slowly got up, saluted solemnly to the old man, and then left. The old man got up, looked at a few pieces of charcoal in the sky in the stove, and then looked at the position where Sima Hui had just done, and sighed slightly.

At that time, Liu Qian was not so old, and Xia Yong, who was regarded as his only confidant, was still the first assistant above 10,000 people under one person. In the Yuhua Palace, the day before the noble concubine entered the palace, Xia Yong, who had not drunk for many years, came here with two pots of wine, and sat here, wanting to fight with Liu Qian.

Liu Qian, who was already able to guess what Xia Yong was going to do at that time, did not say anything to persuade him, but just sat here with Xia Yong, chatting about family life, talking about children, talking about national affairs, and talking about the righteousness of life. After the first rooster crow in the early morning, Xia Yong slowly got up, left the Liu family, which was not Shangshu Mansion at that time, and walked towards the palace.

Liu Qian didn't know how Xia Yong felt when he stood in front of the imperial study in the imperial city, but since then, he has never seen Xia Yong again, although Emperor Ming issued an edict saying that Xia Yong would return to his hometown.

Over the years, Liu Qian has secretly sent a lot of silver to King Zhao, but it is just hidden so that no one will notice it. A child whose mother was imprisoned in the cold palace and then committed suicide, and her grandfather was nowhere to be found, was unbearable in Liu Qian's eyes after all.

If you can, you can help.

Liu Qian walked out of the room, and there was only the housekeeper Lao Wang outside the house.

"Where's Shuyi?"

The butler bent down and said, "Master, the young master took the silver and left." ”

Liu Qian nodded and scolded, "Stinky boy, I don't know how to stay with my grandfather for a while." ”

The housekeeper laughed, hugged the little master and said, "Master, when the little master left, you were still receiving distinguished guests." ”

Liu Qian said with a smile: "You, Lao Wang is honest, how much money did that kid give you, and he said good things for him like this." ”

If he had been an ordinary subordinate, he would have been so frightened that he knelt on the ground and begged for forgiveness from the master, but as an old man who had followed Liu Qian for decades, the housekeeper said: "The master misunderstood the slave." ”

Liu Qian smiled, and then walked towards the backyard, and after a while, he came to an ancestral hall, and the housekeeper stood outside very interestingly, and did not accompany the master into the ancestral hall.

Above the ancestral hall, there are dozens of spiritual seats, and the bottom one has the spiritual seat of Wu'er Liu Yuntian written on it.

Liu Qian took out three incense sticks from the side, lit them, bowed to the spiritual seat, and then inserted the incense into the incense burner.

Liu Qian's eyes were gentle, looking at the "Spirit Seat of My Wife Lin Shuangyue" above, and muttered: "Old woman, don't worry, when Shuyi is bigger, I will come to you and my son, and when the time comes, our family can be reunited." ”
