Then the next day, Lao Liu went to Uncle Chengyi's house to have dinner.
"Uncle Junior, you're here." Liu Li greeted her with a smile. Before she knew it, she had grown into a tall and graceful girl. Her skin was still the same as when she was a child, as white as porcelain, with a youthful and healthy blush.
Coupled with those big talking eyes and slender swan neck, she is no worse than anyone else.
"Yes, I'm here." Lao Liu got off the panda, took out a palm-sized silver-framed small mirror from his arms, handed it to Liu Lida with a smile, "This is for you."
"Wow, this mirror is so bright, thank you, Junior Master!" Liu Li was so happy to see her, she picked up the small mirror and took a look, and a super invincible young and beautiful girl appeared in front of her.
"Scared, why is it so clear?" Liu Li was startled, but she held the mirror in her hand tightly. In fact, the copper mirror is well polished and the effect is not bad, but the metal mirror does not have such a clear feeling.
"They brought this back from Nanyang. They say it is the most sought-after Western product." Lao Liu smiled and said, "I'll order some for you."
"Uncle Junior is the best, I like Uncle Junior the most!" Liu Li happily raised his hand and announced, the youthful aura coming to his face, making Lao Liu a little confused.
After talking to Liuli for a while, Zhu Zhen went in to pay homage to his master.
"Haha, you still remember that I have this master, how long has it been since you came?" Liu Bowen did not give him a good face. He has such an important role, but he did not appear in the whole volume. Is it ridiculous?
"Hey, Master, you have to be conscientious when you speak. I just came here to pay you New Year's greetings on the first day of the new year. I also came here last year." Lao Liu called Chong Tianqu. He made such a big noise last year and couldn't leave behind him.
Open Liu Bowen's advice.
Basically, before every step he takes, he discusses it with the teacher. Only when the teacher thinks there is no problem will he take action. If Liu Bowen thinks it is nonsense, his fantastic ideas will become pure nonsense and he will not take action...
Moreover, Liu Bowen helped him try his best to suppress public opinion, so when Suzhou was in chaos, the whole of Jiangnan did not follow suit. This allowed Lao Liu to survive the initial difficult situation.
Therefore, Liu Bowen's role is still quite large, but it is all explained behind closed doors.
~~
The two men had a quarrel, so Liu Li brought the food and asked them to chat while eating.
"Little uncle, try my handiwork." Liu Li handed over the chopsticks with a smile.
"My little niece has really grown up and helps with the housework." Lao Liu took the chopsticks and said with a smile.
"That's right, today's female celebrities are also very good." Liu Li said proudly.
"Haha..." Liu Bowen chuckled, not wanting to expose his granddaughter.
"You guys eat first, I'll go take a look at the soup." Liu Li jumped out like a deer. Lao Liu's eyes were involuntarily attracted to her and could not be taken back for a long time.
"Have you seen enough? Are you here to see me or my granddaughter?" Liu Bowen said angrily.
"Look at them all." Lao Liu smiled perfunctorily and looked back at the dishes on the table. Among the four dishes, there were three meat dishes, including braised chicken slices, braised pork with pickles and sweet and sour short ribs. He smiled at Lao Liu and said: "
When did Master switch to eating meat?"
"Why don't you get an advantage here and act like a good boy?" Liu Bowen said angrily: "You bitch, you have some conscience. You fried some green vegetables for me, otherwise I will have to eat dry rice."
"Hey hey hey, I just brought her a gift. She is such a good girl who always repays her kindness." Lao Liu picked up the rice bowl with a smile, picked up a few chopsticks and tasted it. Not to mention, it tasted really good.
"Hmm, it's delicious." Lao Liu started to eat happily. "Liu Li's cooking skills are much better than my mother's concubine."
"Your mother and concubine's cooking skills..." The corners of Liu Bowen's mouth twitched, obviously being reminded of unpleasant memories. He quickly drank a cup to suppress his shock and said: "It's really shocking, I cry."
"Is it that exaggerated?" Zhu Zhen was very unhappy. This was obviously not a good review.
~~
The master and the apprentice were bickering, and they rode a fast horse to the outside of Uncle Chengyi's house. On the horse, a man with a dusty face, wearing sackcloth and filial piety, got down and walked inside crying.
"Hey, you are... ah, Young Master Tang?" The disciple was about to stop him, but when he saw the man clearly, he was shocked. It was Liu Meng, Liu Liantang's nephew who accompanied the uncle to take office.
An official cannot live without his own people. When Liu Lian took office, he brought his two nephews from his hometown, Liu Kong and Liu Meng, with him.
"Why are you dressed like this?" Menzi asked in a voice.
"Uuuu, I, my uncle is gone..." Liu Meng's face was filled with sadness and his voice was hoarse.
"Ah?!" Menzi was shocked and quickly helped Liu Meng go in to see the old man.
~~
In Liu Ji's study, the master and apprentice had not finished their meal.
As soon as Liu Meng entered, he threw himself at Liu Ji's feet, hugged Liu Ji's legs and cried loudly: "Grandpa Tang, Grandpa Tang, my uncle is gone..."
Liu Ji suddenly froze there, a deep sadness appeared on his deeply wrinkled face. He sighed longly, "Alas..." and wanted to put down the rice bowl in his hand.
But his hands gradually began to tremble, and muddy tears flowed down his eyes.
At the door, Liu Li came in with a big soup bowl. Hearing his second brother's voice, his hand slipped and he smashed the soup bowl into pieces. Then he covered his mouth and ran out.
Zhu Zhen quickly chased him out.
~~
Almost immediately, the Chengcheng Mansion, which was still in a New Year atmosphere, was immersed in grief. The servants took down the red lantern at the door, peeled off the red couplets, and pasted a white mourning paper on it.
Liu Jing, who was having a party outside, quickly came back after hearing the news. She saw that her old father was already lying on the bed, with the imperial doctor administering an injection beside him. His son, niece and His Royal Highness the King of Chu were guarding the bedside. His wife was also there.
His wife told him in a low voice that his father had just fainted because of excessive sadness. His Royal Highness the King of Chu called the imperial physician for diagnosis and treatment.
Liu Jing nodded and waited quietly to avoid disturbing the imperial doctor.
After a while, the imperial doctor finished the treatment and took the golden needle back to the needle belt.
"How is my master?" the old gangster asked.
"Your Highness, Uncle Chengyi suffered from sluggish energy caused by excessive sadness, which then led to syncope." The imperial doctor knew the temper of his family and did not dare to drop his book bag. He answered honestly:
"If it were a young man, it wouldn't be a big deal if he woke up, but Uncle Chengyi was already weak, and I'm afraid his condition will worsen now. However, we still have to wait until he wakes up to see what happens."
"Okay, just run around more these days. Don't pretend to understand if you don't understand. Let your hospital administrator come in person." Lao Liu said unceremoniously: "Don't let my master leave any sequelae."
"I will definitely try my best." The imperial doctor said goodbye and went out.
Liu Jing hurriedly chased him out and gave the imperial doctor a consultation fee, but he had no words to apologize.
Your Highness can be arrogant to the imperial doctors, but they cannot.
When he returned to the dormitory, his father had already woken up.
Liu Bowen was in a very bad state and was completely trying to keep his spirits up, but there were some things that he had to ask clearly.
"Liu Meng, please explain the whole story and don't leave anything out." He hissed to his nephew.
