When Li Qingling returned to Xue's residence, he met Mr. Luo, who personally delivered New Year's goods.
"Master~"
Mr. Luo smiled at Li Qingling and asked where she went
Li Qingling said: "I went to the roast duck restaurant, paid the employees wages, and let them go home for the New Year." She saw the servants of Luo's mansion moving the New Year's goods in the carriage, she stared, "Master, this is too much, right? ?" She really suspected that he had emptied the Luo residence.
"What's so much about it?" If he wasn't too afraid that Li Qingling and the others would refuse, he would have moved the others here long ago, "Go, let's go in."
Knowing that Mr. Luo could not be persuaded, Li Qingling sighed helplessly, and followed Mr. Luo into the mansion.
"Master, why don't you come here to celebrate the New Year with us?" Thinking of Mr. Luo celebrating the New Year alone in the Luo Mansion, she felt a little uncomfortable.
Hearing this, Mr. Luo's heart skipped a beat, and he said with his hands behind his back, he thought about it.
He really wanted to celebrate the new year with Li Qingling and the others, there were so many people.
He is not the old-fashioned type who must celebrate the New Year in his own mansion.
He can go anywhere by himself.
Moreover, you can also avoid those who come to pay New Year's greetings.
He really didn't have the heart to socialize with those people.
"That's it." Li Qingling directly helped Mr. Luo make a decision. She really didn't want Mr. Luo to celebrate the new year in Luo's mansion alone. It's sad.
Mr. Luo turned his head and glanced at Li Qingling, the smile on his face deepened, and he didn't object to Li Qingling.
It must be very lively to celebrate the New Year with a few children.
"Hey, old man Luo, what are you doing here with so many years of goods? My house is almost full." When the old man heard that Mr. Luo was coming, he hurried out to greet him.
He used to call Mr. Luo all the time, but now that the two got to know each other well, that's what Old Man Luo is called.
Mr. Luo felt that the words "old man Luo" were more intimate, so he didn't object.
"I didn't give it to you, so don't be too sentimental." Mr. Luo stabbed the old man with a smile, "I'm here to give it to my grandson and granddaughter-in-law."
Hearing this, the old man snorted, took Mr. Luo into the flower hall, poured a cup of tea, pushed it in front of him, and let him drink it.
"Old man Luo, why don't you come to my house to celebrate the New Year in a few days? What's the point of you celebrating the New Year in the house alone? It's fun to celebrate the New Year with the children."
"good…"
Seeing Mr. Luo nod so simply, the old man was stunned for a moment. He thought he had to persuade him, but unexpectedly, there was no need to persuade him at all.
"Hey, you won't just wait for my words, will you?" The more he thought about it, the more likely it was that old man Luo might have made up his mind a long time ago.
Mr. Luo took two sips of tea slowly, feeling his body warmed up, and then he glanced at the old man, "So what?"
"..." What can he do? The old man glared at Mr. Luo, feeling that he was really getting more and more popular, not as immortal as before, "It's okay, I'm happy."
After waiting for a while, the old man asked Mr. Luo again, do you want to enter the palace this year
When it came to this, Mr. Luo sighed the most, nodded and said yes.
In fact, he really doesn't want to enter the palace, and the food is not tasty, so what's the use of sitting there
The old man also scratched his head with a sigh and said that he would go in too.
He didn't want to go to any banquet either, he felt bored from the bottom of his heart.
"Old man Luo, do you think we should shirk our discomfort and not go?"
Hearing from that girl Xiao Ling, that on New Year's Eve, he would eat hot pot. He really wanted to stay at home and eat hot pot, and he didn't want to go to the palace to starve.
Speaking of hot pot, he misses the taste of hot pot.
Mr. Luo glanced at the old man like an idiot, "Do you think this method will work?" If those who want to go but can't go hear what he and old man Xue said, I'm afraid they will be so angry that they vomit blood.
Being invited by the emperor to a banquet is a kind of honor for others, but for him, it is a kind of suffering.
The old man hung his shoulders dejectedly, and said weakly that he hoped to come back earlier this year and not stay in the palace for so long, he really didn't like it.
Mr. Luo nodded sympathetically.
He wants to talk to the emperor some other day and ask him not to let him enter the palace to attend the banquet next year, he really doesn't want to go.
In fact, he had told the emperor before, but the emperor refused to listen and must let him go.
He couldn't, so he could only make up the number of people.
"I guess old man Liu may also come over to give New Year's gifts." The old man's thoughts jumped a lot, and he said what came to mind.
Although Liu Zhimo has not officially recognized his ancestors, many people know that Liu Zhimo is the son of Liu Siye.
"should…"
And old man Liu, who was being discussed by the old man and Mr. Luo, was standing at the door of Liu's house, asking his servants to load the new year's goods into the carriage.
Liu Wenjie looked at those new year's goods, then at old man Liu, thinking of what his wife said, he couldn't help but said, "Father, do you want to send these new year's goods to Liu Zhimo?" That child, I heard people say that he looks a lot like his fourth brother.
Old man Liu hummed.
"Father, is Liu Zhimo really the fourth brother's child?"
Hearing this, old man Liu glanced at him lightly, and asked what he wanted to say
Liu Wenjie was also quite afraid of his father. He shrank his neck and said in a low voice, "I didn't want to say anything, but I haven't seen that kid yet, so I don't know if the rumors are true?" Curious, he wanted to go and have a look, but his father gave a death order not to allow them to disturb his review.
No way, he could only hold back the thought.
It's just that he has never seen a real person, so he will inevitably have a murmur in his heart.
In addition, his wife kept whispering in his ear, so he couldn't help thinking about it.
"After the Spring Festival, I will let you see enough." Before the Spring Festival, no one is allowed to disturb his grandson's review, "Didn't I say that I look very similar to your fourth brother? Why, think I lied You?"
It's not that he didn't see these small thoughts of his family, but he just didn't want to pay attention to them.
The more he was with Liu Zhimo and the others, and compared to these people from the Liu family, the more he disliked them.
It's still his youngest son who can teach others, see how well and how filial his grandchildren are taught.
"No, no, no... how could Dad lie to us?" Liu Wenjie turned pale with fright, and shook his head violently, "Daddy, why don't I go with you to meet my nephew? He has been in the capital for so long, and he hasn't seen me like this yet." Where's Uncle?"
After all, he still didn't give up, he wanted to see how much Liu Zhimo looked like his fourth brother
Old man Liu stared at Liu Wenjie, making Liu Wenjie tremble in his heart, and when he was about to say nonsense, old man Liu nodded.
"Father, did you agree to let me go with you?" Liu Wenjie was still a little unbelievable. When did his father talk so easily
"Then you don't want to go?" If he doesn't satisfy his elder son this time, there is no guarantee that he will secretly go to see it next time.
That being the case, it would be better for him to take him there himself, and after he has seen it, he will stop thinking about it.
Liu Wenjie was afraid that old man Liu would go back on his word, so he nodded sharply.
Finally his father agreed to take him there, he would be a fool if he didn't seize this opportunity.
Old man Liu snorted, and led Liu Wenjie into the carriage.
When they arrived at Xue's mansion, Liu Zhimo and the others were having a barbecue in the gazebo.
"Hey, why didn't you notify me when you wanted to barbecue?" Old man Liu was so sore! Regardless of his eldest son, he ran to the empty stool and sat down, staring straight at the barbecue on the grill, "Xiaoling girl, when can I eat it?"
"hold on."
"good…"
Liu Wenjie: "..." Is this his father? His father has always looked serious, when did he become so childish
"Old man Liu, you are quite lucky, so you have hit me like this." The old man snorted, with old man Liu here, how much meat should he eat less
Old man Liu stared straight at the barbecue, and retorted without raising his head, "Who told you to be so unkind, and didn't notify me if you want to barbecue. Fortunately, I came across the New Year's gift, otherwise, it would be a big loss." Ever since he ate the barbecue made by Li Qingling, he couldn't forget it all the time.
"I think you have a dog's nose, and you can smell it from so far away." The old man felt unhappy, and went back directly, "Hey...won't you introduce your son to Zhimo and the others?"
Hearing this, old man Liu remembered that his eldest son had followed him, so he took his eyes off the barbecue and introduced them to each other.
Liu Zhimo and the others called Liu Wenjie uncle.
Liu Wenjie looked at Liu Zhimo for a while, but he still felt shocked. If it wasn't for his age, he really thought that the person in front of him was his fourth brother, and he really looked too much alike.
"Stupid? The children are calling you!" Old man Liu patted Liu Wenjie and glared at him.
Only then did Liu Wenjie come back to his senses, scratched his head in embarrassment, and responded loudly.
"..." What a shame, old man Liu glanced at his eldest son in disgust, "Remember to make up the meeting gift next time."
"Okay..." Liu Wenjie nodded embarrassingly again, "This time uncle came in a hurry and didn't bring a gift, next time uncle will give it back to you."
"You don't need to be so polite." Liu Zhimo said with a smile: "Uncle, come and sit here, you can eat barbecue."
Liu Wenjie responded, and sat on the empty stool next to his father, looking at the oven curiously, "This... this thing is quite strange."
"My granddaughter came up with this idea. You'll know how good it is if you don't taste the barbecue." The old man proudly raised his chin, looked at the sizzling barbecue, and quickly sucked his saliva.
It's really delicious.
"Okay..." Liu Wenjie saw this kind of barbecue for the first time, and he was really looking forward to whether it was delicious or not.
When he ate the first piece of barbecue, his eyes were wide open, and he was not afraid of burning his mouth, so he finished a piece of barbecue in twos and twos.
"It's delicious, it's delicious." Liu Zhijie swallowed hard, "Nephew and daughter-in-law, how did you come up with this thing?"
