Chapter 12 Love Token

 "Yes, as long as the two of you are happy, are other things important?"

Mrs. Liu stood up, reached out and patted the sandalwood box that Mr. Liu placed on the flower bed, and walked to her room with light steps.

"Silly boy, I have already said all that I need to say about my mother.

As for whether to open this box and take out the contents, it all depends on your decision.

You should think it over carefully, for mother's sake I will go back to the room first."

Looking at his mother walking towards the room, Young Master Liu raised his left hand and pressed it on the sandalwood box beside him, looked up at the warm sun in the sky, raised the wine bag and drank silently alone.

There was a gentle breeze in the courtyard, causing Young Master Liu's hair scattered around his ears to flutter gently.

From the branches of a tree not far away, a few birds chirping could be heard from time to time.

After half a day.

Young Master Liu stood up directly, bent down to pick up the sandalwood box on the small flower bed, and walked straight towards Mrs. Liu's room.

In the main hall, Mrs. Liu was leaning over the table, holding a pair of scissors in her hand to cut the silk fabric spread on the table.

She saw her eldest son re-entering the room holding a sandalwood box, and put down the scissors in his hand with a chuckle.

"Zhi'er, have you thought about it?"

Young Master Liu nodded happily and directly placed the sandalwood box in his hand on the table.

"Well, I have already thought about returning to my mother.

The fate between Hai'er and Qingrui girl has been going on for so many years. It's really time for me to give that silly girl an explanation.

If we delay any longer, I'm really afraid that I'll break that silly girl's heart."

Mrs. Liu raised her eyebrows and nodded to Young Master Liu with a smile.

"Hehehe, silly boy, you have finally taken this step.

Just think about it, think about it.

In that case, open the box and take out the contents."

"Hey, the kid knows, I'll take it out right now."

Young Master Liu casually hung the wine bag around his waist, bent down and opened the lid of the sandalwood box.

Inside the sandalwood box, a green and crystal clear jade bracelet appeared directly in the eyes of Mrs. Liu, Mr. Liu, mother and son.

Young Master Liu picked up the jade bracelet in the box, held it in front of his eyes and looked at it carefully.

"What a jade. It's really a good jade. Mother, you have taken such trouble."

"You brat, why are you being polite to me? This is what I should do for my mother."

Young Master Liu turned to look at Mrs. Liu and asked curiously: "Mother, when did you prepare this jade bracelet?"

Mrs. Liu pondered for a moment, looked at Young Master Liu with kind eyes and said softly: "I did the math for my mother, it's probably been more than three years."

When Young Master Liu heard this, he looked stunned and asked in surprise: "What, it's been more than three years, has it been so long?"

Seeing the surprised expression on her eldest son's face, Mrs. Liu chuckled a few times and nodded noncommittally.

"Hehehe, yes, it has been prepared for more than three years. In a few months, it will be four years."

Liu Mingzhi took out his handkerchief from his cuff, carefully wrapped the jade bracelet in his hand, and then put the handkerchief directly into his arms.

"Mother, you have prepared this bracelet more than three years ago.

Aren't you afraid that I won't be able to use the child?"

When Mrs. Liu heard her son's question, she smiled lightly, picked up a wooden ruler from the bamboo basket, bent slightly and measured on the delicate fabric.

"Silly boy, didn't my mother tell you before?

You are the flesh that fell off my body because of my mother. Others don’t know what you are thinking in your heart. How can I not understand it because of my mother?

Zhi'er, I know very well what kind of character you are like.

After Qingrui girl disappeared for a while, she returned to the capital.

From the day she moved into our home again, I knew as a mother that Qingrui girl, my daughter-in-law, had not run away.

Maybe it will take some time for her to truly become her mother's daughter-in-law, and she still has a long way to go.

However, Wei Niang was very sure in her heart.

Brat, you will definitely not let down this girl's affection. Sooner or later you will reach this stage.

Facts have proved that my guess was correct.

After so many years, you kid has finally taken this step.

The jade bracelet I have prepared for my mother for many years will finally belong to her true owner."

Young Master Liu nodded happily, reached out and picked up the teacup on the table and put it into his mouth.

"Haha...hahaha, my mother is wise, my mother is wise."

Mrs. Liu put down the wooden ruler in her hand, picked up the scissors on the side, and cut the fabric in her hand smoothly.

"Brat."

"Hey, mother."

"The only real heirloom of our Liu family is the jade bracelet that Yun'er wears on her wrist.

However, Ya'er girl, Yan'er girl, Wanyan girl, Rongrong girl...the jade bracelets on their sisters' hands, and the jade bracelet you put in your arms.

Although these jade bracelets are not heirlooms of our Liu family, every piece of jade used to make the bracelets was carefully selected by your mother and me.

No matter what the jade bracelet is, it is all for my mother-in-law.

My mother has already told Ya'er Yatou, Qingshi Yatou, Xiaoxi Yatou, Lingyi Yatou and other sisters about these words.

When you give the jade bracelet to Girl Qingrui, don't forget to convey my words to Girl Qingrui.

There are some things that just need to be said."

"Yes, yes, yes, I know, I will definitely bring your mother's words to Qingrui."

Mrs. Liu folded the cut fabrics together, then picked up another piece of Sichuan brocade fabric and spread it on the table.

"You brat, now that you have decided to take this step.

Then when are you going to fulfill your promise to this girl Qingrui and marry her into our home in a grand manner with eight carriages?"

Upon hearing his mother's question, Mr. Liu lowered his head and looked at his chest with the jade bracelet on his chest, and the tea cup in his hand hovered slightly.

"I'll give her reassurance first. As for when to actually marry her, I think it's better to put it aside for a while."

Mrs. Liu paused slightly while spreading the cloth, and raised her eyebrows slightly to look at the eldest son who was pacing back and forth.

"What? Are you going to put it on hold for a while longer?"

"Yes, I plan to put this matter on hold for a while."

Mrs. Liu was silent for a moment, laid out the silk cloth in her hand, and lifted up the teacup on the edge of the table.

"You brat, you've already taken this step, why are you still shelving it?

some time, some time.

The period of time you mentioned lasts only for years of the monkey and months of the horse."

Liu Mingzhi took a sip of tea and looked at Mrs. Liu with a smile.

"Mom, it won't be long.

After I have officially decided on my position as Crown Prince and announced it to the world, it will be time for my son to formally marry Qingrui."

Seeing her son mention the topic of the crown prince, Mrs. Liu pursed her lips for a moment, lowered her head and took a sip of tea, then picked up the ruler next to her again.

"Zhi'er, since you already have an idea in your mind, for my mother's sake, I won't waste any more time.

As long as Qingrui girl is willing and doesn't feel aggrieved, you two can just discuss the important matters in your life."

Mr. Liu gently chewed the tea leaves between his lips and teeth, turned around and walked to the table, put down the tea cup, and picked up a piece of fabric that Mrs. Liu had cut and looked at it a few times.

Mrs. Liu shook her head angrily, and hit Young Master Liu directly on the arm with a wooden ruler.

"You brat, what are you doing?

Mom, I just sorted out the fabric, and you messed it up again."

Young Master Liu suddenly took a breath of cold air and quickly put the cloth in his hand back to its original place.

"Hiss, hiss, mother, you really hit me."

Seeing the eldest son rubbing his wrist and grinning, Young Master Liu sneered a few times in annoyance.

"Hehehe, what's wrong with hitting you?

You really messed up my fabric. I can’t beat you to death.

You brat, stay away."

Young Master Liu smiled bitterly and nodded, then stepped back a few steps.

"Okay, okay, why don't you keep the child as far away as possible?"

"You brat, when are you going to teach Qingrui the jade bracelet?"

"Mother."

"Well, what's wrong?"

"Compared with when Hai'er handed over the jade bracelet to Qingrui, don't you think what Hai'er just said about setting up a crown prince is more interesting to talk about?"

Mrs. Liu glanced at Young Master Liu helplessly and let out a long breath.

"What are you talking about? What's there to talk about?

Regarding this kind of thing, as a mother, I am too lazy to pay attention to it.

Whatever you think in your heart, can't you just act according to your own thoughts?"

"Mom, you can give me some advice."

"What advice can I give you? I don't have any advice.

Mom, I still said what I said just now, whatever you really think in your heart, just act according to your own thoughts."

As Mrs. Liu spoke, she raised the ruler in her hand and waved it directly at Mr. Liu's arm a few times.

"You brat, if you dare to talk to me about this kind of thing again, don't blame me for turning my back on you."

Seeing Mrs. Liu waving the ruler in her hand, Mr. Liu's expression suddenly tightened and he dodged towards the opposite side of the table.

"No, no, no, baby, don't talk anymore. Isn't it okay if the baby doesn't talk anymore?"

"Gungun, you've already got the jade bracelet.

Now, go and do whatever you need to do, and don't delay me here while I make clothes for the children."

"Mother."

With a crisp sound, Mrs. Liu directly slapped the ruler in her hand on the table and glared at Young Master Liu helplessly.

"Ancestor, what's wrong?"

"Mom, I have another little thing that I want to ask you."

"If you fart, hurry up."

Young Master Liu poked his head and looked outside the door for a few times, then leaned on the table with his arms stretched out.

"Mother, I just want to ask, do you know about the situation of the demon queen 'Ren Qingrui' back then?"

Upon hearing her son's question, Mrs. Liu frowned and sat silently on the round stool behind her.

"You brat, you're so good, why did you think of asking about this?"

"Mom, it's not important. You just need to tell the child whether you know about her or not."

As soon as Mr. Liu finished speaking, he watched the changes in Mrs. Liu's expression intently.

Mrs. Liu nodded and took a sip of tea. She smiled lightly and shook her head gently at Young Master Liu.

"I don't understand."

"Don't you understand at all?"

"It doesn't mean I don't understand anything at all. As a mother, I still know a little bit."

"Oh? I wonder what you know, mother?"

"Hehehe, as a mother, the things I know are naturally very similar to the things you know.

After all, the incident back then caused such a big fuss. As a mother, I am neither deaf nor blind, so it would be difficult for me not to know about it."

"Besides that, is there anything else?"

Mrs. Liu shook her head silently, smiled slightly and picked up the ruler next to her again.

"Other than that, I don't understand motherhood."

Young Master Liu scratched his head and brows with his fingers, and remained silent for a while with a disappointed look on his face.

"Mother, does the old man understand?"

Mrs. Liu rolled up her sleeves, smiled lightly, raised the wooden ruler in her hand, and pointed to the courtyard next door.

"If your father understands it, you have to ask him.

He should still be in the study now. If you go over at this time, you should be able to see him."

Young Master Liu stood up straight with a look of helplessness and casually closed the lid of the sandalwood box beside him.

"Okay, I understand, kid."

"Okay, okay, if you don't have anything else to do, just get out of here and don't delay what I'm busy with."

"Okay, let's leave now, kid."

"go Go."

Mr. Liu nodded slightly, turned around and walked out of the room.

When Mr. Liu was about to walk out of the room, Mrs. Liu suddenly spoke.

"Zhi'er, wait a moment."

Young Master Liu stopped and immediately turned back to look at his mother.

"Mom, what's wrong?"

"Silly boy, you know best what this jade bracelet means.

When Qingrui girl accepts the jade bracelet, it is equivalent to accepting the love token you gave her.

A token of love, a token of love.

These four words are more than just four words.

Since you have given the girl a token of your love, you must treat her well and never let her down."

Listening to his mother's solemn explanation, Young Master Liu reached out and patted the jade bracelet in his arms, and nodded vigorously.

"Hey, I understand, my dear, don't worry, mother."

"Alright, go ahead."

"Yes, my son, please leave first."

Young Master Liu responded and strode out of the room with high spirits.

After watching the eldest son Mr. Liu's back disappear, Mrs. Liu gently turned the ruler in her hand and sighed sadly.

"Hey, when will these trivial matters come to an end?"

Mrs. Liu murmured to herself, picked up the scissors on the side, and carefully cut the silk fabric on the table.

Time flies by quietly.

Before I knew it, it was already sunset.

That night.

Willow branches on the moon.

Under the night sky, the moonlight is hazy.
