Liu Zhi'an waved his hand casually, walked to his seat and sat down with a faint smile.
"Today is a great day for the Spring Festival. Our family is having a reunion dinner. Why are you so polite? You don't need to worry about us anymore."
Qi Run smiled lightly and echoed: "Zhi'er, sit down together, just sit down together."
Liu Mingzhi nodded happily, said nothing more, and sat on the chair behind him with a slight smile.
Qi Yun saw that all the sisters were sitting in their seats one after another, and with a smile on her face, she greeted the children behind her and walked towards the dining table next to her.
"Children, please sit down quickly."
"My child knows it. Mother, you don't have to worry about us anymore. Come and take a seat."
Several little guys who were laughing and playing around heard Qi Yun's words and immediately stopped playing. While responding to Qi Yun, they walked to their seats obediently and sat down.
"Okay, okay, mother, let's sit down right now."
"Mother, we understand."
"Mom, please go and sit down quickly."
Qi Yun smiled slightly and nodded, then walked to the position where Liu Dashao's head was lowered and sat down.
"Husband, you can eat now."
When Liu Mingzhi heard Qi Yun's words, he raised his head and looked around at the people in the hall. When he saw that everyone was already seated, he happily picked up his rice bowl and took a bite of dumplings.
"Well, it tastes good. Use your chopsticks."
Everyone in the hall saw that Young Master Liu was already using his chopsticks, and then they started to pick up their own bowls and chopsticks.
Seeing her husband eating seven or eight dumplings in a row, Qi Yun chuckled and shook her head, then immediately picked up the pot and poured a glass of already warm wine.
"Husband, eat slowly, eat slowly, don't choke."
Young Master Liu picked up the wine glass and drank the wine in one gulp, then pointed at the dumpling soup beside him.
"Yun'er, the so-called original soup transformed into original food is to serve your husband a bowl of dumpling soup."
"I know."
Qi Yun poured the dumpling soup and just put it in front of Young Master Liu. He ate five or six dumplings in a row.
"Husband, don't just eat dumplings. There are so many dishes on the table. You should also try them."
As Qi Yun spoke, she immediately picked up her chopsticks and picked up a dish for Liu Mingzhi.
"Eat vegetables, eat vegetables."
Young Master Liu put down his job and nodded happily.
"Okay, okay, my husband knows.
Our family hasn't eaten dumplings for a long time, and my husband couldn't control it for a while."
Qi Yun smiled slightly, picked up the rice bowl, raised her head and gestured to the table next to her.
"Husband, there are several bowls of dumplings placed on the table over there. Since you like to eat, husband, please eat more."
"My husband knows, Yun'er, you should eat it quickly.
Husband, I've already eaten half of the bowl, and you've just eaten a few."
"Yeah, thank you husband."
Liu Mingzhi took a sip of dumpling soup and turned to look at Liu Zhi'an and Qi Run who were also feasting.
"Old man, father-in-law, do the dumplings taste good today?"
Liu Zhi'an put down his bowl and chopsticks, stretched out his hand to wipe his beard, and let out a sigh of relief.
“Oh, it’s delicious, it’s delicious!
In the years since I left the capital, I have missed the taste of these dumplings very much.
There is no way, why do we rarely eat dumplings in Jinling!"
Qi Run took a sip of his drink and looked at Young Master Liu who was sitting in the main seat with the same sad expression.
"Zhi'er, to be honest, even I miss the taste of these dumplings just like my in-laws.
After all, I have lived in the capital for many years, so some of my habits have remained."
Young Master Liu saw Liu Zhi'an and Qi Run's sighing expressions, and he filled the pot with a smile and poured three glasses of wine.
"Old man, father-in-law, since you miss life in the capital so much, you might as well stay at home permanently when you come to the capital this time.
Anyway, there are so many houses in the family, which is not enough for you four elders to live in.
As for eating, it’s just a matter of adding a few more pairs of chopsticks.”
Hearing Young Master Liu's words, sisters Qi Ya, Qi Yun, Liu Xuan, and Liu Mingjie quickly stopped eating and involuntarily raised their eyes to look at Liu Zhi'an and Qi Run.
"Dad, my husband is right. It's not like you four elders are not used to the soil and water of the capital. Why don't you just stay in the capital permanently."
"Father, mother, and Ya'er also agree with your husband.
If you four elders stay in the capital permanently, your children can be filial to you."
"Dad, Uncle Qi, eldest brother is right, otherwise you can continue to live in the capital.
When Xuan'er misses you, your father, your mother, your eldest brother and your sisters-in-law, you don't have to worry about traveling back and forth between the capital and Jinling."
"Father, mother, Uncle Qi, Aunt Qi, and my child also mean the same thing."
Liu Zhi'an and Qi Run heard the words of persuasion from Young Master Liu, sister Qi Yun, and sister Liu Xuan. The two elder brothers looked at each other, and both chuckled and shook their heads.
As for Madam Liu and Madam Qi, they just ate their food in silence and did not say anything.
When Liu Mingzhi saw the reactions of Liu Zhi'an and the four of them, he picked up the drink with a frown on his face and drank the warm wine directly.
The third princess, Murong Shan, Qing Lian and other sisters heard what Sister Qi Yun said and immediately reacted.
"Dad, my daughter-in-law thinks so too. Just listen to your husband and stay."
"Dad, Mom, the capital is so far away from Jinling, so it's not easy to go back and forth."
"My daughter-in-law seconded the proposal."
"Father, mother, uncle Qi and aunt Qi, you four can just stay here."
Liu Zhi'an picked up the wine glass that Mr. Liu had poured for him, drank it with melancholy eyes, and drank the wine in one gulp.
"Bastard boy, Yun girl, Yan'er girl, Ya girl...I appreciate your thoughts.
It’s just that it’s hard to leave this homeland, it’s hard to leave this homeland!”
Qi Run just sighed softly, picked up the drink and drank lightly.
"well!"
Qi Run sighed, clearly agreeing with Liu Zhi'an's meaning.
Qi Yun, Qi Ya, the third princess, Xue Bizhu and their sisters looked at each other in confusion when they saw Liu Zhi'an looking like this. For a moment, they didn't know what to say.
Liu Zhi'an's words that it was hard to leave her hometown had already blocked what the sisters wanted to say.
Liu Mingzhi picked up the pot and filled three more glasses of wine, then happily picked up the rice bowl again.
"Yun'er, Sister Ya, Yan'er, since the old man and father-in-law don't want to stay here permanently, then let's not stay.
Let’s not talk about this anymore, let’s eat, eat.”
"Hey, my sisters know it."
"Dad, Uncle Qi, you should continue to eat."
"Father, mother, if you need anything, just call your daughter-in-law, and your daughter-in-law will immediately send someone to prepare it for you."
"Okay, okay, I understand, let's eat quickly."
After Liu Mingzhi devoured a bowl of dumplings, he picked up his wine glass and gestured to Qi Yun with a faint smile.
"Yun'er, give me another bowl for my husband."
"Hey, I know it."
Qi Yun immediately stood up, picked up a bowl of dumplings from the table next to him and placed it in front of Young Master Liu.
"Husband, here you go."
Liu Mingzhi took the job, raised his eyes and glanced at his third son, Liu Chengqian, at the dining table on the right, and finally set his sights on Liu Zhi'an and his wife.
"Old man, mother.
"Huh? What's the matter?"
"Zhi'er, what's wrong?"
"After the Chinese New Year, when do you two plan to leave Beijing?"
Upon hearing her son's inquiry, Mrs. Liu did not rush to answer the question, but turned her attention to her master.
Liu Zhian's brows were slightly furrowed and silent for a moment, and he picked up his wine glass casually.
"I think it will be around the end of this month, or early February.
What, what's the matter with you?"
After Liu Mingzhi ate two dumplings, he turned to Liu Chenggan, who was at the dining table next to him, and pursed his lips.
"Cheng Qian is a grown man now, and it's time to start a family and start a business.
According to my young master, Yun'er, Yan'er and the sisters, they plan to let this boy Cheng Gan and this girl Tong'er get married this year."
When Liu Zhi'an heard this, he looked back at Liu Chengqian with a slightly excited expression, and then withdrew his gaze.
"When do you plan to get married to Yun Yatou and Yan'er Yatou?"
Mrs. Liu also immediately put down her bowls and chopsticks, and looked at Young Master Liu with an expression of surprise.
"Son, please tell me quickly, when do you plan to let this boy Cheng Gan marry Tong'er from the Zhou family?"
When Liu Dashan saw Liu Zhi'an, Mrs. Liu and his wife looked both excited and surprised. They smiled lightly and picked up the wine glass and took a sip.
"Oh, Zhi'er, you should tell your mother quickly, can't you drink this wine later?"
Hearing Madam Liu's urging tone, Young Master Liu looked at the third princess happily.
"Mother, before you came to the capital a few years ago, Yan'er, Sister Ya and the rest of the sisters had already gone to the Qintian Prison to calculate a good and auspicious day for the wedding.
According to the calculations of Qin Tian Jian, the first month and the third month of this year each have an auspicious day suitable for marriage."
Mrs. Liu nodded with a clear expression, and quickly asked: "Then what month did you, Yan'er, Yun'er and the sisters choose?"
"To tell you my mother, we have scheduled a date in March."
"Ah? You chose March, so why didn't you decide on an auspicious day for the first month?"
Liu Mingzhi noticed the disappointment in his mother's eyes, smiled lightly and gestured to the flying leap outside the hall door.
"Mother, it's not that I don't want to drink Yan'er, Lian'er and her sisters chose the day of the first lunar month.
It's because we have no choice but to choose March."
"Huh? Why?"
"Mother, do you think that given the early spring weather in the capital, if the wedding date is set in the first month of the year, will our guests be able to get to the capital in time?
It would be fine if there were only guests from the south of the capital, but mother, don’t forget, the guests our family is hosting come from all over the world!
In the early spring of the first month of the year, the snow in some state capitals north of the capital may not have completely melted yet!"
After hearing the eldest son's helpless answer, Mrs. Qi raised her eyes to look at the snowflakes still flying in the courtyard outside the hall door, and sighed with regret.
"Oh, I made a mistake for my mother, I made a mistake for my mother.
As soon as my mother heard you talk about Cheng Qian's child being able to start a family and start a career, she became so excited that she even forgot the simplest common sense."
Although Liu Zhi'an didn't say anything, it could be seen from his slightly disappointed eyes that he also felt a little regretful.
After taking a few bites of the dishes, Young Master Liu looked towards Liu Zhi'an with a frown.
"Old man, if you go by your original plan, there is no way you can attend the wedding banquet between Cheng Qian and Tong'er.
You can't just rush back to the capital as soon as you return to Jinling, right?"
As soon as Mr. Liu finished speaking, Mrs. Liu quickly looked at Liu Zhian.
"master?"
Liu Zhian turned his eyes to look at Mrs. Liu, picked up the flask and poured himself a few glasses of wine.
"You bastard, when is the auspicious day in March exactly?"
Liu Dashao paused slightly while pouring the wine, and immediately looked towards Qi Yun, the third princess, Qing Lian and the other sisters.
"Yun'er, Yan'er, did Qin Tianjian tell you which day is the auspicious day in March?"
"Husband, the eighth day of March, the sixteenth day of March, and the eighteenth day of March are all auspicious days."
"Yes, there are a total of three days in March that are auspicious days for weddings."
Liu Mingzhi nodded slightly and looked at Liu Zhi'an and his wife with a smile.
"Old man, mother, you heard it, the latest auspicious day is March 18th."
"March 18th, the latest is March 18th, which is quite fast."
Mrs. Liu muttered to herself, and immediately stretched out her hand to tug Liu Zhian's sleeve.
"Master, don't tell me, we will have to leave Beijing and rush back to Jinling before this day comes."
Upon hearing Mrs. Liu's inquiry, Liu Zhian waved his hand casually.
"That's not a problem, we can still wait for March 18th."
"That's good, that's good.
Zhi'er, haven't you officially decided which one to choose?"
"Mother, the marriage between this boy Cheng Gan and Tong Yatou is not decided by our family.
The specific date must be discussed with Baoyu and his wife.
Just because you are the king of a country, you can't completely ignore the feelings of Baoyu and his wife and decide the life-long events of both children alone, right?"
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Liu nodded hurriedly: "Yes, yes, Zhi'er, you have thought carefully.
Life-long matters for the children of both parties naturally need to be carefully discussed."
"Mother, don't worry. The child will definitely finalize the lifelong affair with Baoyu and his wife as soon as possible.
Let me tell you something from my heart, about Cheng Gan, this boy's lifelong event.
Not only are you two worried, my wife and I are also worried!"
"That's very good. Zhi'er, it's good that you know your intentions."
Liu Mingzhi nodded with a smile. After finishing the remaining dumplings, he casually picked up his wine glass and looked at Liu Chengfeng and Liu Chengzhi who were enjoying themselves with a chuckle.
, Ryu Jung-ho and his third son Ryu Sung-gan were drinking together.
