Chapter two hundred and eighty eight auspicious days
Qinglian understood from her good sister Qi Yun's helpless expression that her husband had already noticed the little Jiujiu of her good sister and others.
"Husband, Sisters I am afraid that you will be hungry if you don't have dinner. Who do you think I am by saying this? Sisters I am here because I am worried about your health!"
Young Master Liu looked at Qinglian who was still trying to make excuses, and shook his head helplessly: "Okay, let's go on and let them all come in.
It's so cold outside, and if it freezes again, won't it be my husband who feels the most distressed in the end? Go quickly!"
Qinglian finally confirmed that her husband had really seen through Xiao Jiujiu, her sisters and others. She wrinkled her nose with a playful smile, snorted, turned and walked towards the door.
After a while, a large group of beauties, each with their own merits and delicacies, followed Qinglian into the study with strange expressions.
The beauties looked at each other awkwardly, and then turned to Qi Yun, who stood aside with a delicate face and a look of helplessness.
Young Master Liu stood up angrily and walked to the door. He first glanced at Liu Chengzhi who was kneeling in the courtyard, and then closed the door against the cold wind.
"Okay, stop winking at each other and find a place to sit down and warm yourself. Each one of them is like an ignorant child who doesn't know how to cherish his own body.
You know the purpose of your coming here, and your husband also knows it in your heart. As for the reason why Chengzhi is kneeling outside, just let Yun'er explain it to you.
Please fill your stomach first for your husband."
After finishing speaking, Mr. Liu walked towards the table next to the stove, picked up his chopsticks and ate happily at the food and wine in front of him.
Seeing this, all the beauties hurriedly gathered around Qi Yun and started whispering.
After the food and drinks in front of Major General Liu were all gone, Qi Yun also carefully described to the sisters the specific reasons why Liu Chengzhi was forced to kneel outside.
After the girls learned the truth, they all looked at Mr. Liu with angry eyes, who was sipping wine like a normal person, and gathered around him.
"Husband, how could you do this? Chengzhi is still so young and his mind is not yet strong. What if he takes what you say seriously?"
"That's right, how can a father cheat on his own son like this? Husband, what you did this time really went too far."
"It's my husband's fault that I am also on Chengzhi's side."
"I am..."
All the beauties denounced Young Master Liu with every word, and they all defended their son Liu Chengzhi.
Half of the girls watched Liu Chengzhi grow up. Although Liu Chengzhi was not his father except Qi Yun, because of the excellent relationship between the sisters, a group of beauties treated all the children under their knees.
They all regard each other as their own children and do not distinguish between them.
Now that they heard that their son was punished for such an unfounded crime, how could they let Young Master Liu off easily.
Liu Mingzhi looked at the beauties all angry and scolding, and took out his handkerchief to wipe the leftovers from the corners of his mouth.
"Are you still young when you are eighteen? Lian'er, you were already pregnant when you were eighteen.
My husband will not deny it. In our eyes, children will always be children, but we can’t let them bear any setback just because of the word child, right?
As a man, you have to suffer a little and be tired for his own good. The way you are acting now is a bit like a loving mother but a loser."
The pretty faces of the girls froze, and they all lowered their heads in embarrassment. After learning the cause and effect from Qi Yun's mouth, the girls also knew that it was indeed their sisters who made a fuss out of a molehill.
Liu Mingzhi looked at the embarrassed reactions of the ladies, turned his head slightly and glanced at the candle on the desk. Looking at the candle with only half of it left, Liu Mingzhi bent down and picked up the fire tongs and continued to play with the stove in front of him.
"Call Chengzhi in."
Qi Yun's pretty face lit up with joy, and she couldn't wait to run out of the study room.
"My son, please pay homage to your father, your mother, and your aunts."
Young Master Liu carefully changed the briquettes in the stove without saying anything, but the beauties hurriedly signaled Liu Chengzhi to get up without ceremony.
Young Master Liu put down the tongs, picked up the tea cup and poured the tea in the cup onto the steaming briquettes.
"Have you thought about it? You have one last chance to tell your decision. Do you agree with your father's decision, or do you insist on your own opinion?"
Liu Chengzhi listened to his father's extremely calm words, swallowed a few times and subconsciously looked at his mother and aunts.
"You don't need to look at your mother and your aunts. My father told you not long ago that it is useless for any of them to intercede for the decision I made, even if your grandparents come.
Tell me, what is your final decision? You only have one last chance, and I hope you can seize it well."
After listening to his father's words, Liu Chengzhi first looked at the expressions of his mother and aunts. Seeing the helpless expressions on their faces, Liu Chengzhi fell silent for about a cup of tea.
"My child... my child... it's still the same answer as before. If you can't come up with a suitable reason, please forgive me for not obeying my order."
Liu Mingzhi silently inserted the poker in his hand back, raised his hand and rubbed his brow, looking at the roof of the study for a long time.
"My husband has sent people to see it. This year, the ninth day of May, the sixth day of June, the twentieth day of August, and the eighteenth day of October are all good and auspicious days.
Which day do you think is more suitable to marry Jingyao? It will be more convenient for this girl to marry you. Just make your own choice. My father respects your opinion."
"The child is unfilial. If the child knows this kind of answer, he will let you...ah? Marry...marry Jingyao?"
"What? You don't want to? If you don't want to, forget it. Just pretend that your father didn't say anything."
Qi Yun looked at her son, who was staring at her husband in shock, and quickly reached out to push Liu Chengzhi's shoulder.
"Silly boy, why are you stunned? Why don't you thank your dad quickly!"
Liu Chengzhi reacted and knelt down behind Young Master Liu with an excited expression: "My dear, thank you so much to your father. My dear, thank you so much to your father for making your marriage to Jingyao possible."
"On the ninth day of May, the sixth day of June, the twentieth day of August, and the eighteenth day of April, you can choose one of these four auspicious days. It's up to you to decide which day to get married."
Liu Chengzhi pondered for a moment with a thoughtful expression on his face: "August 20th is fine."
Young Master Liu turned around and looked at Liu Chengzhi with a surprised expression: "Oh? Why didn't you choose the first two days? Aren't you in a hurry to marry Jingyao?"
"My child... My child still doesn't know what Jingyao is thinking? I have to choose a relatively late and auspicious day first.
If Jingyao doesn't have any objections, it's not impossible to move the wedding date forward. Doesn't it all depend on what you and Aunt He Shu want?"
Young Master Liu nodded thoughtfully, waved to the beauties, turned and walked directly out of the study.
"The twenty-seventh book on the third floor of the bookshelf, you should take it home and study it carefully. In a few days, my father will find time to test and teach you the contents of the book.
As for the wedding, Jingyao’s father will take care of it for you.
After picking up the books, go back early and rest."
