The old man Liu mentioned by Kong Fanshu is the current head of the Liu family, Liu Houde, who was the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel of the Cangnan Empire at that time!
Although Liu Houde's cultivation level was only at the level of a mid-level Yuan General and could not be ranked high in the imperial capital where there were so many powerful men, he still held the power of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, and all civil and military officials in the world had to be appointed by him before they could officially take office. Naturally, it can be said that he has disciples all over the world and has a great reputation among the government and the public.
It can be said that among the entire civil servant group of the Cangnan Empire, if Kong Fanshu is the first person, then Liu Houde is truly the second!
Originally, the Kong and Liu families were family friends and had always had a good relationship. Kong Fanshu and Liu Houde also grew up together. They had a deep friendship with each other and had similar political views. They had always been close friends. But this time, the Liu and Cao families suddenly got married, but Kong Fanshu had no idea about it beforehand, and Liu Houde didn't even have an explanation afterwards. This made Kong Fanshu feel betrayed, and he had a strong opinion of Liu Houde in his heart, so His long-time friend suddenly turned into the Old Man Liu he called him!
Of course, Liu Houde was an upright and old-fashioned person, with a very typical gentleman's demeanor. Kong Fanshu said that he flung over a wedding invitation in a grand manner, which was completely exaggerated. The actual situation was that Liu Houde followed the etiquette and handed the wedding invitation into Kong Fanshu's hands. . However, since Kong Fanshu had a problem with Liu Houde, he naturally disliked him no matter how much he acted. No matter how much Liu Houde acted according to the rules, Kong Fanshu would still find fault with him!
As for the third ancestor of the Kong family, he frowned slightly at this time and said: "The Kong and Liu families are aristocratic families. You, the head of the family, cannot make up your mind about this kind of wedding and funeral matters, and you have to trouble me, an old man." ? So what if the Liu and Cao families get married? You won’t just mess up the situation, right? "
Kong Fanshu said respectfully: "Fanshu is not talented. Even if Old Man Liu and Old Man Cao appear in front of me together, I will never be soft when it's time to retaliate with old fists. However, according to Old Man Liu, attending Liu's meeting this time , there will be an ancestor from the Cao family at the wedding banquet of the Cao family!"
After hearing the news, even the Third Patriarch, who had always been calm and composed, changed his expression slightly and asked: "Which of those old immortals from the Cao family would come to the imperial capital with nothing to do? The marriages of the descendants and grandchildren are to be used. Do those old immortals take it so seriously?"
Kong Fanshu replied: "I'm telling you, the third ancestor, when the ancestors of the Cao family come to the imperial capital, they may not just host a wedding banquet. As for our Kong family, even if we are not optimistic about their marriage, we still have to attend the wedding banquet according to the ceremony. However, , if our Kong family doesn’t have an ancestor to hold the battle, won’t we lose to them in terms of momentum?”
This time, the third ancestor of the Kong family did not answer immediately. Instead, he pondered for a moment before saying, "Has the Imperial Family ever known about this matter?"
Kong Fan wrote: "Old Liu has always considered himself to be upright, so it is naturally impossible to hide this matter from the royal family. However, during the morning court today, there was nothing special about our current emperor, except that he was given a handwritten calligraphy of 'A match is made in heaven'. There is no more expression.”
After hearing this, the third ancestor of the Kong family sighed and said: "If any of those old immortals from the Cao family come to the imperial capital, what will they have to do with our Kong family? I'm afraid that several old princes in the royal family will also I really want to get close to those old guys. This time the Cao family... Hehe, I guess I heard some news and knew what happened in the wild forest this time, which alarmed many old guys, and they were a little unwilling to be lonely! Fanshu, You don’t have to trouble us old men about this matter anymore. Even if the old guys from the Cao family really come to the imperial capital, it’s not a big deal. Do we old men still have to go and greet them in person? Just handle this matter with normal etiquette. That’s it!”
When the third ancestor of the Kong family said this, it naturally meant that he had made a decision. Kong Fanshu thought for a moment and felt that the actions of the third ancestor did make sense. He nodded and said, "What the third ancestor said is reasonable. Fanshu knows how. Done!"
After finishing speaking, Kong Fanshu bowed and bowed, then left. Before leaving, he smiled at Kong Ming to express his encouragement.
After Kong Fanshu said goodbye, the third ancestor of the Kong family put his hands behind his back, raised his head slightly and looked into the sky, not knowing what he was thinking. After a long time, the Third Patriarch sighed and said: "After all, I am not as free and easy as a few elder brothers. Once I can't let go of this worldly affairs, how can I improve my cultivation level?"
After saying this, the third ancestor of the Kong family turned around, looked at Kong Ming who had been standing respectfully beside him, nodded and said: "You are very good. Remember, come again tomorrow! When will you use it?" No need to water the flowers, I will naturally give you something good!"
Kong Ming didn't answer, but after giving a big salute, he walked straight away.
As for the third ancestor of the Kong family, he didn't know what he was thinking. He walked around the garden with his hands behind his back, playing with various flowers from time to time, looking like a hard-working gardener. After walking around in a circle, the third ancestor of the Kong family patted the dirt on his hands and sighed: "It seems that big changes are really going to happen. Even some old guys are not willing to be lonely! This Liangzhou Taiping But after more than five hundred years, will there be another storm?"
After saying this, the third ancestor of the Kong family shook his head and returned to the small building where he lived with his hands behind his back. The surroundings returned to calm...

When Kong Ming returned to the courtyard where he lived, he had already missed lunch time. However, Mo Yue still prepared a large table of delicious food and was waiting for Kong Ming.
For Mo Yue, Kong Ming is her backbone, and everything she does revolves around Kong Ming. Kong Ming was not able to come back for meals many times, but Mo Yue felt it was her responsibility to prepare delicious food for Kong Ming at every meal. Therefore, regardless of breakfast, lunch or dinner, regardless of whether Kong Ming will eat or not, Moyue will be fully prepared!
Mo Yue's craftsmanship is quite good, and the food from her hands can definitely be called gourmet. The little one was able to fall in love with Mo Yue, and I don’t know if he was conquered by Mo Yue’s delicacies. Generally speaking, the food prepared by Mo Yue will not be wasted even if Kong Ming does not come back, because the greedy little one can completely play the role of "food recycling".
However, after swallowing the Huiyuan Pill, the little boy had already entered a state of sleep, so naturally he could no longer help Mo Yue "recycle" the large table of delicacies!
