Man Xilan
Chapter 2 Accident
you. Liu Lan said: "I think I must love you more than everyone else in this world." "
The sudden confession made Su Qizhi's eyes widen.
Being stared at by such bright eyes, Liu Lan suddenly felt a little embarrassed. She could only turn her face away, coughed a few times, and then said, "You have to trust me."
The corners of Su Qizhi's mouth slowly curled up, and the look in his eyes was more than usual.
Knowing that Liu Lan might be a little shy, he still leaned over and looked hard at each other.
Gradually, a suspicious red color appeared on Liu Lan's face, and he said uncomfortably, "Can you stop looking at me?"
"I'll just take a look." Su Qizhi said with a smile: "You continue to talk. It's okay, it's okay, I'll just take a look, you can continue talking."
There is no way to take him, Liu Lan can only continue to say: "I was not thinking about how to say give up just now, I just have a solution, but I don't know how to tell you."
"Oh? What's the solution?"
Seeing Su Qizhi's smiling face in front of him, Liu Lan immediately relaxed, and blurted out: "That is to make Ruizhi the crown prince."
"That's a good idea."
"Hmm..." Liu Lan was stunned.
"I can write a recommendation letter to my father and recommend Brother Sanhuang to be the crown prince. At that time, there will definitely be many ministers who will respond positively. Father also originally favored Brother Sanhuang. If this is the case, Brother Sanhuang should be the crown prince. Let's not be far away... At that time, your father will be very happy, Brother Sanhuang will be happy, and Emperor Father will be happy too..." After Su Qizhi finished speaking, he looked at Liu Lan and asked in bewilderment, "It's just such a simple thing, what do you have to do?" What is worth considering?"
"Simple?"
"Don't you think it's complicated?"
"Well... that's not true," Liu Lan said with a wry smile, "Actually, I'm mainly worried."
"What are you upset about?"
Liu Lan sighed: "Uneasy about your feelings for me."
Liu Lan sometimes thinks that the two of them are together like this.
Everything is so natural and logical.
But Liu Lan couldn't forget the sad expression on Su Qizhi's face when he mentioned Su Xuan under the moonlit night.
How unforgettable must it be to be so hurt and hopeless?
Liu Lan felt that Su Qizhi should like her, otherwise she wouldn't be with her.
But there are many kinds of likes, and likes can be divided into deep and shallow.
Is it a liking formed by long-term familiarity?Is it a habit?Is it dependent?
Or is he just a second choice, the choice behind His Majesty?
Liu Lan felt that thinking about such a question would make her seem petty, but sometimes, her thoughts were out of her control, and she always went to that corner.
Su Qizhi said: "Aren't we already together? And..." He paused for a moment before continuing: "When you are uneasy about me, I am also uneasy about your feelings."
Just as Liu Lan had worries, Su Qizhi also had many worries.
Even though the feelings for Su Xuan have long since dissipated, but occasionally they are touched by the scene or brought up by others, remembering things in childhood, remembering the relationship between him and his father at that time... and thinking about the sudden change after the birthday banquet that day, Su Qizhi still will Feel a little sad and puzzled.
Is my life experience so unacceptable?
The emperor couldn't accept it, so what about Liu Lan?
Will he turn his face and deny anyone like his father did?
I didn't find a suitable opportunity to speak before, but today...maybe it's a good chance to try...
Su Qizhi raised his head, looked at Liu Lan, looked at his gentle face as always, and said slowly, "I'm actually not the real Fourth Prince... just a soul that has occupied the body of the Fourth Prince..."
Su Qizhi spoke slowly, while Liu Lan stood aside and listened carefully.
From the previous life to the present life, from being infatuated with Su Xuan to confessing to giving up, Su Qi will talk about everything big and small.
"Do you think my life experience is strange?"
"No, I feel fine."
"Then, would my previous feelings for my father make you feel a little...unbearable?"
"Of course not, that's human nature."
Obviously it was something she knew a long time ago, but when she said it to herself from Qi Zhi's mouth, Liu Lan still felt happy.
Looking at the other party's expression that became more and more clear after hearing her answer, Liu Lan understood that this moment was the real fusion of the two people's feelings.
Exposing/exposing the deepest world in each other's hearts represents the deepest recognition and trust.
From then on, of the two teenagers, one will not worry about gains and losses, and is always not confident in the other's friendship, while the other will not be uneasy, fearing that he will be abandoned again after the other knows the truth.
After Su Qizhi finished all his things, he felt very relaxed.
Seeing Liu Lan still standing there, listening with a smile in the corner of his eyes, his heart was also soft.
It was also at this moment that Su Qizhi realized for the first time the significance of Liu Lan to his own life.
If it is said that Su Xuan is a flame, coming fiercely, people are caught off guard, but when he melts the ice in his heart, he will also burn his heart.
But Liu Lan is like the spring breeze, invading silently, seemingly soft and gentle, but inadvertently, making all the flowers bloom.
Thinking of this, Su Qizhi stepped forward and put his arms around Liu Lan's waist, and then took the initiative to send his own kiss. As his lips and teeth intersected, Su Qizhi heard his own voice saying: "Lan...you are the spring breeze in my life ..."
Returning to Man Xilan Volume Four Homecoming Chapter 20 Visiting Liu's Mansion
three days later
Su Qizhi stood at the entrance of Liu's Mansion, looked at the bright and bright signboard above the main entrance, turned around and said, "Lan, why do I feel a little nervous."
Liu Lan, who was standing behind him, took a step forward and stood side by side with him, and said with a smile: "There's nothing to be nervous about, it's not like you haven't been to my house before."
"But I haven't visited your parents in particular."
Liu Lan sighed: "When you say that, I also feel a little nervous."
"What are you for?"
"It's also the first time that I brought a special person to visit my parents."
The two looked at each other, and Su Qizhi said, "Or let's go to another day."
"You've changed it for three days..." Liu Lan grabbed Su Qizhi's hand and led him into Liu's residence: "I've read the almanac, today is a good day."
"The almanac I read clearly says that it is not suitable to travel today..." Su Qizhi was still fighting for the last time after being dragged into Liu's residence.
"That's why it's not suitable to go far away, and the ones that are close don't count. Did you know that today is a great day to meet your in-laws..."
"What are you meeting your in-laws? Today is a good day for you to return to Guining..."
Talking nonsense along the way, the two came to the hall of Liu's mansion, where Liu Jiyun was already waiting, but Mrs. Liu was nowhere to be seen.
Liu Lan pushed Su Qizhi in front of her father imposingly, and then said with a more respectful attitude than usual: "Father, this is the Fourth Prince."
"Hello, Uncle Liu." Su Qi stepped forward and greeted with a smile.
"Hi, fourth prince." Liu Jiyun looked at Su Qizhi with a smile: "I haven't seen you for many years, and the fourth prince is more handsome than when he was a child." After speaking, he looked at Su Qizhi carefully, and said with a smile: "This face shape and temperament, There are some similarities with Concubine Liu back then."
"You know my concubine?"
"When Your Majesty married Concubine Liu, I had the honor to meet once." Liu Jiyun sighed, "Speaking of Concubine Liu's demeanor, it is really as bright as the moon, making people unforgettable at the first sight. It's just a pity, since ancient times All beauties are unlucky...I didn't expect Concubine Liu to go away at such a young age..." While speaking, Liu Jiyun's face became infinitely sad and regretful, and he looked quite emotional. After thinking about it for a while, Liu Lan woke up with a light cough, and smiled at Su Qizhi: "I'm really sorry, I mentioned Concubine Liu, and I hope the Fourth Prince doesn't take it to heart."
"It doesn't matter. In fact, I don't have much impression of the concubine mother. I only heard about her from the emperor."
"Will the emperor mention Concubine Liu to you?"
Su Qizhi said: "I often mention it."
Hearing this, Liu Jiyun smiled, "Your Majesty really has deep affection for Concubine Liu."
"Father and imperial concubine really have deep feelings for my mother and concubine."
"The feeling is very deep..." Liu Jiyun repeated it, then stood up and smiled, "It is said that Concubine Liu is the best at playing piano in the world, and the fourth prince has inherited the talent of Concubine Liu. Play a song?"
"Of course no problem." Su Qizhi smiled and said, "I wonder what Uncle Liu wants to hear?"
After pondering for a while, Liu Jiyun replied: "Let's just listen to the song "Lovesickness"."
While speaking, Liu Jiyun led the two of them to the small building next to them.
As soon as the door was opened, there was a strong smell of spices used to maintain the strings from inside.
Su Qizhi followed Liu Jiyun into it, and found that it was a room where dozens of pianos were placed in an orderly manner.
Liu Lan explained in a timely manner: "My father usually likes to collect pianos."
"Where are we talking about collecting," Liu Jiyun said, "It's just learning arty."
Arty?
Su Qizhi probably looked at Liu Jiyun's collection. Although these pianos are not as expensive as Yaoguang's, they are all rare masterpieces.
Without a certain vision, it is absolutely impossible to collect.
Su Qizhi said: "Uncle Liu spent a lot of energy collecting these pianos, right?"
"There's no need for effort," Liu Jiyun said with a smile: "As soon as I arrived at the piano store, I asked the boss to take out the most expensive pianos. When I heard that there was a good piano auctioned somewhere, I went to call for the highest price, and then moved these pianos back to the store. I'm at home. When it comes to appreciation, I really don't know anything about it. The fourth prince please choose the violin here."
Su Qizhi nodded, looked around the room carefully, then chose one, and sat down in front of it.
Stretch out your hands, pluck the strings slowly, and the tune of "Acacia" pours out.
Su Qizhi hasn't played this piece for a long time.
Now revisiting it again, Su Qizhi discovered that the original tune of "Lovesickness" is not so uncomfortable to listen to.
Su Qizhi raised his head to look at Liu Lan, and understood in his heart that it was because of this person in front of him that his state of mind changed.
With this in mind, today's song "Lovesickness" sounds less bleak and more lingering than usual.
Even so, when the song ended, Liu Jiyun still stayed where he was.
"Father...Father..." Liu Lan called out twice, and Liu Jiyun came back to his senses, and said with a smile: "The fourth prince's piano skills are really superb, and people will be intoxicated after listening to them." Before the other two could answer, He also said: "Lan'er, your mother is worshiping Buddha and burning incense in the Buddhist hall in the backyard. You can take the fourth prince to see her."
Liu Lan responded and led Su Qizhi to the Buddhist hall in the backyard.
This Buddhist hall was specially built for Mrs. Liu to burn incense and worship Buddha.
Although it was built in the Liu Mansion, the size of the Buddhist hall is no smaller than a regular temple.
Liu Lan led Su Qizhi to push the door in, and saw the green smoke surrounded inside, and at the same time, a thick fragrance rushed towards him.
It was originally a very tall building with a very spacious hall, but in this way, it made people feel a little gloomy.
Mrs. Liu was kneeling in front of the Buddha, reciting scriptures in a low voice.
"Mom," Liu Lan called out.
Madam Liu turned her head, looked at Liu Lan, then at Su Qizhi next to Liu Lan, nodded her head, then turned around and continued to chant sutras.
"This is the Fourth Prince," Liu Lan said again, "I want you to see him."
Su Qizhi also shouted from the side: "Hello, Aunt Liu."'
But this time, Mrs. Liu acted as if she didn't hear anything, and didn't respond at all.
Liu Lan and Su Qizhi looked at each other, but they couldn't leave first, so they could only stand where they were, listening to the murmur of scriptures wafting back and forth in their ears.
After a long time, Madam Liu stopped, got up and came to Su Qizhi's side, looked at him several times, and then said lightly: "He is a good boy."
Time to Return Man Xilan Volume 21 Homecoming Chapter [-] As You Like It
I met my parents, and then there was a family dinner.
Another gorgeous banquet was placed in the spacious hall, and this time, four people were eligible to sit down.
Liu Jiyun returned to normal and had been waiting in the hall for a long time. When he saw Su Qizhi coming in, he greeted him with a smile: "My mansion prepares a little wine, and I am honored to entertain the Fourth Prince. It's really splendid."
Su Qizhi also smiled back: "Uncle Liu is really polite."
"It should be, it should be." Liu Lan looked happy, and pulled Su Qizhi to sit next to her.Pointing to the dishes on the table, he said, "This is the signature dish of the chef in my house... This dish is specially ordered for you... and this..."
Liu Jiyun watched the actions of the two people, smiled without saying a word, there was a hint of admiration in his eyes.
After the three of them sat down, Mrs. Liu came in supported by two maids.
Madam Liu still had that indifferent expression, she just nodded slightly when she saw Su Qizhi, and then sat next to Liu Jiyun.
A meal is not a lively one, but it can barely be regarded as a good time for the host and guest.
After the meal, Liu Jiyun said to Liu Lan: "I want to discuss something with you for my father, can you go to the study with me?"
Liu Lan and Su Qi glanced at each other, and they both understood that what Father Liu was going to say at this time must have something to do with the two of them.
Liu Lan said seriously: "Father, the fourth prince..."
"Of course we go to the study together." Liu Jiyun said with a smile, "The fourth prince is a distinguished guest, how can he be negligent?"
When the three of them got up to leave, Mrs. Liu, who had not spoken all this time, suddenly called out, "Lan'er."
"Mother, what's the matter?" Liu Lan turned to look at her mother.
"The amulet passed down in our family, did you give it to the Fourth Prince?"
"Give it away." Thinking that the amulet was still safely hanging on Su Qi's chest, Liu Lan began to feel happy again: "I gave it away a long time ago."
Mrs. Liu nodded, said something very good, and then left the dining room with the girl's support.
Liu Jiyun led the way and led the two of them to the study.
Liu Lan and Su Qizhi followed silently, each thinking about their own concerns.
After walking for a while, Liu Lan suddenly reached out and took Su Qizhi's hand.
Surprised by this action, Su Qizhi raised his head and saw Liu Lan's gentle but firm eyes.
It clearly says: I will not give up...
Knowing what the other party wanted to convey, Su Qi smiled and rolled his eyes, conveying the same emotion.
The two walked hand in hand towards their destination.
In the study
Liu Jiyun sat on the main seat behind the desk, looked at the two people sitting quietly below, just smiled, but said nothing.
Liu Lan couldn't help but said first, "Father, you said you asked me to discuss something important, what exactly is it?"
Hearing this, Liu Jiyun joked, "Can't you see what my father wants to say?"
Having said this, Liu Lan also felt that there was no need to play tricks, so she said directly: "Father, no matter what you say, I definitely want to be with the Fourth Prince."
"You child..." Liu's father laughed loudly: "It's the first time I speak so eagerly, and it's actually because of this matter... Fourth prince, it seems that my son really has a lot of affection for you."
"Uncle Liu, you..." Su Qizhi looked at Liu Jiyun in astonishment.
Even Liu Lan opened his eyes wide, looking at his father in disbelief.
This performance is much worse than expected...
"You all seem to be surprised..." Liu Jiyun looked a little smug: "I have been in business for so many years, I have never experienced any weird things, I have never seen any joys and sorrows... If I don't have the ability to accept... I am the Liu family. How could the firm escape the storm after storm..."
"What does dad mean..." Liu Lan looked at Liu Jiyun expectantly.
"As your mother said, everything is predestined by God, and it would be futile for me to intervene..." Liu Jiyun said: "How can I object to something that the four princes agree with... Actually, as parents, as long as you are happy, We have nothing more to ask for…”
When the matter developed to this point, Liu Lan was completely dumbfounded.
Based on Liu's father's previous attitude, Liu Lan originally thought that today's meeting would definitely be no less than a violent storm.
Although I understand that visiting at home may have an impact on the relationship between each other, but if you really like someone, how can you not lead him to visit his family?
Liu Lan is ready for everything.
Just to flatter Liu's father, I prepared a basket of words, and I also thought about a lot of guarantees to work hard in the future. In addition, I moved with emotion and reason, and said some sensational words, so I am not afraid that the old man will not be moved.
If this is not enough, Liu Lan thought, although it is embarrassing to have a temper like a child, I have disdained this method since I was five years old, but special things need to be treated specially, and I went to my mother to make a fuss first. Field, I don't know if it will be effective...
But how did things go so smoothly?It was so smooth that Liu Lan had the illusion that she had all her strength and could not use it.
"Father, what do you mean is that you agree to me being with the fourth prince?" Liu Lan opened her mouth to confirm again.
"Of course I agree."
"The heir..." Liu Lan asked the question that parents should be most concerned about.
Liu Jiyun smiled and said, "I can't find an heir anywhere, but it's hard to find a lover."
This kind of development surprised Su Qizhi too. He looked at Liu Jiyun and sighed, "Uncle Liu is really enlightened."
Liu Jiyun smiled and said, "It's not open-minded, it's just a father's mood. Speaking of which, there is one more thing that I would like to confirm with the fourth prince."
"Uncle Liu, please tell me."
"Then if there is something to offend..."
"It's okay, you can ask whatever you want."
"Okay, then I won't be polite." Liu Jiyun pondered for a moment, and then said slowly: "Although my son is smart since he was a child, he is actually stubborn. Once he decides on something, he will never Looking back, it's as if he insisted on going out to practice at the age of 11. I couldn't stop him no matter how much I persuaded him back then. Now, his feelings for the fourth prince must be the same. I wonder if the fourth prince can feel it?"
Su Qizhi admitted frankly: "I feel it."
Liu Lan echoed from the side: "I feel it...Of course I feel it..."
"I can see Lan'er's feelings for the Fourth Prince, but I still don't know what kind of feelings the Fourth Prince has for him, and what kind of position he occupies in your heart... After all, your identities are very different. My concerns are just As a father, he is only worried about his son being hurt in the future..."
"I can understand your mood." Su Qizhi said seriously: "I can assure you that Lan and I are in the same mood, and our hearts are connected."
Liu Lan added with a smile on her face: "Of course, our hearts are the same..."
Liu Jiyun looked at Su Qi for a long while before he smiled and said: "I have heard many rumors about the fourth prince before, but after meeting today, I realized that the rumors are not true. The fourth prince is indeed a dragon and phoenix among men, and it is worth it My son is infatuated with you..."
Liu Lan still echoed from the side: "Well, I'm infatuated... I'm infatuated..."
The most serious problems were over, and the rest of the conversation became lighter.
Astronomy and Geography...Country Rumors....
They talked about everything, and they all had a good time.
It wasn't until the evening when the maid came in to present candlesticks for everyone, that Liu Jiyun smiled and said, "So it's so late."
Su Qizhi looked out at the sky: "I should say goodbye."
"It's getting late today, how about the fourth prince staying overnight in Liu's residence?" Liu Jiyun asked to stay.
Su Qizhi thought about it for a while, but didn't refuse, and said yes directly.
When he and Liu Lan got up and were about to leave the study, Su Qizhi suddenly called out, "Uncle Liu."
"Well, what's the matter with the fourth prince?"
"I can also make a promise to you. I will not take the initiative to compete with Brother Sanhuang for that position."
Hearing this, Liu Jiyun was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and said, "It's getting late, you should go back to the yard for dinner."
The sky was sinking gradually, Liu Lan and Su Qizhi were walking on the path in Liu Mansion Garden.
Liu Lan said, "I didn't expect things to go so smoothly..."
"Yeah," Su Qizhi also sighed: "I feel a little unbelievable."
"Actually, the last sentence you said to my father, I always feel that with your ability..."
"Lan," Su Qizhi interrupted Liu Lan's slightly guilty words, "Since you were young, what expectations did the people around you have of you?"
"Expectation? Of course, it is to do business well, and strive to turn Liu's firm into the largest firm in the entire mainland."
"Then will you give up the right to inherit the Liu family firm for me?"
"Of course I will. Although I didn't take over all the business," Liu Lan took out a stack of papers from her sleeve, and shook them in front of Su Qi: "But now I have brought all the business documents under my command."
"So, I am the same as you." Su Qizhi said: "Don't say that I have never been interested in that position. Even if I am interested, I can give up for you. What you can do for me, the same, I can do it for you too."
When Returning to Man Xilan Volume 22 Homecoming Chapter [-] Beneficiaries
The capital at noon is lively and bustling.
An inconspicuous small sedan chair deftly passed through the crowd, and finally stopped at the door of the largest restaurant in the Liu family. : "Third young master, the master is waiting in the innermost plum hall."
Su Ruizhi, who was called the third young master, responded, then got off the sedan chair and walked straight to the plum hall.
Pushing open the door, Su Ruizhi called out to the person in the house who was leaning against the window watching the street: "Uncle."
Liu Jiyun turned his head, saw Su Ruizhi, and said with a smile, "Ruizhi is here, why is it so early this time?"
"There are very few things to deal with today. I rushed here early."
"Come on, come in and sit down. We haven't seen each other for a long time. My restaurant changed a chef a while ago. Let's try his signature dishes today."
"Okay, all the chefs at my cousin's house are very skilled, and today I can count as something to eat."
After exchanging pleasantries for a while, Su Ruizhi saw that Liu Jiyun was always looking out of the window from time to time, and asked involuntarily, "Cousin, what are you looking at?"
Liu Jiyun smiled meaningfully: "I'm looking at a painting."
"Painting? What painting?"
Liu Jiyun pulled Su Ruizhi to his side, pointed at the two people on the street, and said, "Ruizhi, do you think those two teenagers together look like a painting?"
Looking at Liu Jiyun's fingers, the two people Su Ruizhi saw turned out to be...The Fourth Emperor and Cousin Liu Lan?
On the bustling street, these two teenagers walking side by side are particularly attractive.
The one on the left, dressed in white, has a slightly cold demeanor, but in this coldness, there is a more attractive attraction.
The one on the right, dressed in a green shirt, held large and small packages in his hand, and he felt gentle and harmless.
But these two people are surprisingly harmonious when they are together, and they have an aura that outsiders can't disturb.
The two of them walked very slowly, looking at each stall carefully, and stopped when they felt interested. If they bought something, after the boss wrapped it up, the young man in green shirt would consciously take out the purse, and then change it. Consciously lift the package in your hands.
Su Ruizhi watched his cousin lift two big paper bags into his hand again, the fourth younger brother looked back at the big and small bags in his hand, suddenly smiled and leaned forward, and kissed his cousin on the lips...
kissed...
kissed...
Like a thunderbolt in the clear sky, Su Ruizhi suddenly froze in place, completely stunned.
Cousin really likes the fourth brother...they are really together...
Judging by the looks of these two people, they should have a very good relationship...
A person as cold as Si Huangdi would smile so sweetly at his cousin... Not to mention, the emotion contained in the eyes of cousin looking at Si Huangdi...
Since he was a child, he has noticed that his cousin treats the younger brother very differently... But now, he finally sees what he worries about...
When the things that I had been worrying for a long time became reality, I would feel inexplicably "it finally happened" in my heart, which is similar to a feeling of relief.
However, more are still unwilling and jealous...
Such sweetness finally hurt Su Ruizhi's eyes...
Obviously I met my cousin first, obviously my cousin was only good to me at first...
Why did the fourth brother jump out and snatch his cousin away?
Maybe in this life, I won't show an innocent and romantic expression like Ye Yuanluo, saying what my favorite cousin is... But Su Ruizhi's desire to monopolize Liu Lan has never changed.
Whether this is love, Su Ruizhi is not sure.
He only knew that in his life, since his cousin appeared, he had become more colorful.
Therefore, the cousin must not be allowed to go to the side of the fourth emperor brother.
In the past, I was weak and needed my uncle's help urgently, so I didn't dare to act rashly.I can only drag my cousin to drink with him when he is busy.But nine times out of ten times, my cousin will definitely bring the fourth brother with me. Sometimes, it is really an eyesore.
But now, with his own strength, coupled with the excitement brought about by today's scene, Su Ruizhi secretly made up his mind to take his cousin back.
He has already taken away his father's favor from the fourth brother, and taken away the greatest possibility of the crown prince, so for his cousin, Su Ruizhi feels that he is bound to win it too.
After a long time, when Liu Lan and Su Qizhi walked out of sight, Su Ruizhi said, "Cousin and Fourth Brother..."
"What is the relationship between the two of them, Ruizhi hasn't understood yet?" Liu Jiyun said with a smile: "Yesterday your cousin brought people home to meet your aunt and me..."
After hearing this, Su Ruizhi drank the wine in his hand, and then said: "Listen to my cousin's tone, do you not object to their affairs?"
"Objection? Why objection?" Liu Jiyun asked back.
"In this way, the Liu family will have no heirs."
"The heir is nothing more than a child. The world is so big, can't you find someone who can inherit the Liu family firm?"
"But that's not the blood of the Liu family, so the money will be for nothing for outsiders."
"The money of the Liu family is also earned from outsiders..." Liu Jiyun was particularly open-minded about the issue of heirs: "Besides, even if he is of the blood of the Liu family, who can guarantee that he will be able to develop the business? Can you guarantee that the blood of the Liu family will continue?"
"My cousin is really an open-minded person, no wonder he can do such a big business." Su Ruizhi raised his glass to salute Liu Jiyun: "Ruizhi respects my uncle."
"It's easy to say," Liu Jiyun took a drink from his glass, "Ruizhi, do you know that my cousin is a businessman."
Su Ruizhi couldn't help laughing: "Which Qing countryman hasn't heard of my cousin's reputation?"
"As a businessman, no matter when, I only pursue the most interests."
"So?" Su Rui asked in confusion.
"As long as the fourth prince is with your cousin, he will not take the initiative to compete with you for that seat." Liu Jiyun said: "Even if he stated before that he would not interfere in the position of prince, but after all, it is not as good as this level of relationship. insurance."
Su Ruizhi said sarcastically: "It turns out that my cousin used my cousin as collateral."
"You can't say that," Liu Jiyun said again: "As a businessman, I also pay attention to getting what I need and doing fair deals. You can't deny that I have fulfilled them."
"Then if in the future, my cousin and the fourth brother part ways..."
"So what?" Liu Jiyun said with a smile: "According to their current feelings, it will be a few years before they really part ways. Maybe at that time, it will be a good thing for them to separate. Maybe your cousin will think about it, take it easy Marry a woman, although I don't care about the origin of the heir, but with the blood of the Liu family, it's still the best, isn't it..."
Su Ruizhi pondered Liu Jiyun's words carefully, and felt more and more that this cousin was unfathomable.
Supported himself as the prince, and tied down the most threatening prince...
After all the calculations, only the Liu family is the biggest beneficiary.
Time to Return Man Xilan Volume Four Homecoming Chapter 23 Appears to be in harmony with spirit
Su Ruizhi looked at his cousin, and suddenly felt a strange feeling in his heart, as if he was just getting to know him for the first time.
Su Ruizhi understands that the Liu family's business can achieve what it is today, and his cousin is definitely not a kind person, at least not as kind as he appears.Su Ruizhi himself has experienced a lot of intrigues in the officialdom, and he has seen the ugliness in the world, but no matter how despicable the character is, he would never think of using his son's feelings like this.
Although it was true as what my uncle said, he was able to push the boat smoothly, and both parties were happy, but such a result still made people feel uneasy.
For example, normal parents would object to such a relationship, and their opposition would at least be frank, while enlightened parents would approve of such a relationship, and their approval would be entirely out of consideration for their son's future happiness.Even those who force their children into political marriages are a hundred times better than this kind of thing, at least they are more open and aboveboard.
Unlike my uncle, who made enlightened decisions with purpose.
Not to mention all the benefits, but also all the good names.
This kind of thing is like swallowing a fly. It will definitely not be life-threatening, but it will make people feel disgusting.
'I'm a businessman, so naturally I have to get what I need. '
The cousin agreed to the cousin and the fourth brother to be together in order to stabilize the fourth brother.
So why did he spend all his money to spare no effort to support himself as a prince?
Su Ruizhi recalled the first time he saw his cousin. At that time, he was still a drowsy child living in the cold palace. He didn't understand anything. It can be said that his future was bleak. What kind of qualities did he have that attracted his cousin? Uncle let him make such a big bet?
Seeing Su Ruizhi's thoughtful expression, Liu Jiyun smiled and said, "What is Ruizhi thinking?"
"Oh, it's nothing..." Su Ruizhi immediately came back to his senses, "It's just the matter of the fourth emperor and cousin just now, which really surprised me."
"Accident? What was the accident?" Liu Jiyun raised his eyebrows: "Is it an accident that they came together, or was it an accident that I agreed to them being together?"
"Probably both."
"I can understand the accident in the back, but the one in the front... I thought you wouldn't be surprised that they were together." Liu Jiyun said with a smile: "The three of you played together since you were young, and you should have understood many things very early on. Your fourth brother, although he looks icy and cold, is completely a wonderful person who is cold on the outside and hot on the inside, so it is not surprising that he attracted your cousin..."
Su Ruizhi immediately complained: "Cousin, I don't want anyone to talk about how good the Fourth Emperor is in my ears... I've been tired of hearing it since I was a child..."
Su Ruizhi's words properly highlighted his familiarity with Liu Jiyun, without being rude. It's just such a sour joke, how much sincerity is there in it?
Sure enough, when Liu Jiyun heard such complaints, he laughed even more: "To be honest, your fourth brother is really not the same as us."
"Oh, what did my cousin say?"
"If one day you hide your identity and go to a post station to deliver a letter, but the postman on duty that day refuses to accept your letter, what will you do then?" Liu Jiyun did not answer directly, but threw out a wild horse bull. unrelated question.
"Of course he has to ask his superior to deal with it. If he refuses to accept the letter without reason, if the superior finds out, this postman will not even think about doing it."
Liu Jiyun said: "I knew you would definitely answer like this. If it were me, I would definitely take out the silver and hand it to the soldier along with the letter. If he is not tempted by one tael of silver, then add it to five taels, five taels No, just twelve taels... There is always a time when he is tempted."
Su Ruizhi nodded: "This is indeed my cousin's style, but I don't know how it is.
The sudden confession made Su Qizhi's eyes widen.
Being stared at by such bright eyes, Liu Lan suddenly felt a little embarrassed. She could only turn her face away, coughed a few times, and then said, "You have to trust me."
The corners of Su Qizhi's mouth slowly curled up, and the look in his eyes was more than usual.
Knowing that Liu Lan might be a little shy, he still leaned over and looked hard at each other.
Gradually, a suspicious red color appeared on Liu Lan's face, and he said uncomfortably, "Can you stop looking at me?"
"I'll just take a look." Su Qizhi said with a smile: "You continue to talk. It's okay, it's okay, I'll just take a look, you can continue talking."
There is no way to take him, Liu Lan can only continue to say: "I was not thinking about how to say give up just now, I just have a solution, but I don't know how to tell you."
"Oh? What's the solution?"
Seeing Su Qizhi's smiling face in front of him, Liu Lan immediately relaxed, and blurted out: "That is to make Ruizhi the crown prince."
"That's a good idea."
"Hmm..." Liu Lan was stunned.
"I can write a recommendation letter to my father and recommend Brother Sanhuang to be the crown prince. At that time, there will definitely be many ministers who will respond positively. Father also originally favored Brother Sanhuang. If this is the case, Brother Sanhuang should be the crown prince. Let's not be far away... At that time, your father will be very happy, Brother Sanhuang will be happy, and Emperor Father will be happy too..." After Su Qizhi finished speaking, he looked at Liu Lan and asked in bewilderment, "It's just such a simple thing, what do you have to do?" What is worth considering?"
"Simple?"
"Don't you think it's complicated?"
"Well... that's not true," Liu Lan said with a wry smile, "Actually, I'm mainly worried."
"What are you upset about?"
Liu Lan sighed: "Uneasy about your feelings for me."
Liu Lan sometimes thinks that the two of them are together like this.
Everything is so natural and logical.
But Liu Lan couldn't forget the sad expression on Su Qizhi's face when he mentioned Su Xuan under the moonlit night.
How unforgettable must it be to be so hurt and hopeless?
Liu Lan felt that Su Qizhi should like her, otherwise she wouldn't be with her.
But there are many kinds of likes, and likes can be divided into deep and shallow.
Is it a liking formed by long-term familiarity?Is it a habit?Is it dependent?
Or is he just a second choice, the choice behind His Majesty?
Liu Lan felt that thinking about such a question would make her seem petty, but sometimes, her thoughts were out of her control, and she always went to that corner.
Su Qizhi said: "Aren't we already together? And..." He paused for a moment before continuing: "When you are uneasy about me, I am also uneasy about your feelings."
Just as Liu Lan had worries, Su Qizhi also had many worries.
Even though the feelings for Su Xuan have long since dissipated, but occasionally they are touched by the scene or brought up by others, remembering things in childhood, remembering the relationship between him and his father at that time... and thinking about the sudden change after the birthday banquet that day, Su Qizhi still will Feel a little sad and puzzled.
Is my life experience so unacceptable?
The emperor couldn't accept it, so what about Liu Lan?
Will he turn his face and deny anyone like his father did?
I didn't find a suitable opportunity to speak before, but today...maybe it's a good chance to try...
Su Qizhi raised his head, looked at Liu Lan, looked at his gentle face as always, and said slowly, "I'm actually not the real Fourth Prince... just a soul that has occupied the body of the Fourth Prince..."
Su Qizhi spoke slowly, while Liu Lan stood aside and listened carefully.
From the previous life to the present life, from being infatuated with Su Xuan to confessing to giving up, Su Qi will talk about everything big and small.
"Do you think my life experience is strange?"
"No, I feel fine."
"Then, would my previous feelings for my father make you feel a little...unbearable?"
"Of course not, that's human nature."
Obviously it was something she knew a long time ago, but when she said it to herself from Qi Zhi's mouth, Liu Lan still felt happy.
Looking at the other party's expression that became more and more clear after hearing her answer, Liu Lan understood that this moment was the real fusion of the two people's feelings.
Exposing/exposing the deepest world in each other's hearts represents the deepest recognition and trust.
From then on, of the two teenagers, one will not worry about gains and losses, and is always not confident in the other's friendship, while the other will not be uneasy, fearing that he will be abandoned again after the other knows the truth.
After Su Qizhi finished all his things, he felt very relaxed.
Seeing Liu Lan still standing there, listening with a smile in the corner of his eyes, his heart was also soft.
It was also at this moment that Su Qizhi realized for the first time the significance of Liu Lan to his own life.
If it is said that Su Xuan is a flame, coming fiercely, people are caught off guard, but when he melts the ice in his heart, he will also burn his heart.
But Liu Lan is like the spring breeze, invading silently, seemingly soft and gentle, but inadvertently, making all the flowers bloom.
Thinking of this, Su Qizhi stepped forward and put his arms around Liu Lan's waist, and then took the initiative to send his own kiss. As his lips and teeth intersected, Su Qizhi heard his own voice saying: "Lan...you are the spring breeze in my life ..."
Returning to Man Xilan Volume Four Homecoming Chapter 20 Visiting Liu's Mansion
three days later
Su Qizhi stood at the entrance of Liu's Mansion, looked at the bright and bright signboard above the main entrance, turned around and said, "Lan, why do I feel a little nervous."
Liu Lan, who was standing behind him, took a step forward and stood side by side with him, and said with a smile: "There's nothing to be nervous about, it's not like you haven't been to my house before."
"But I haven't visited your parents in particular."
Liu Lan sighed: "When you say that, I also feel a little nervous."
"What are you for?"
"It's also the first time that I brought a special person to visit my parents."
The two looked at each other, and Su Qizhi said, "Or let's go to another day."
"You've changed it for three days..." Liu Lan grabbed Su Qizhi's hand and led him into Liu's residence: "I've read the almanac, today is a good day."
"The almanac I read clearly says that it is not suitable to travel today..." Su Qizhi was still fighting for the last time after being dragged into Liu's residence.
"That's why it's not suitable to go far away, and the ones that are close don't count. Did you know that today is a great day to meet your in-laws..."
"What are you meeting your in-laws? Today is a good day for you to return to Guining..."
Talking nonsense along the way, the two came to the hall of Liu's mansion, where Liu Jiyun was already waiting, but Mrs. Liu was nowhere to be seen.
Liu Lan pushed Su Qizhi in front of her father imposingly, and then said with a more respectful attitude than usual: "Father, this is the Fourth Prince."
"Hello, Uncle Liu." Su Qi stepped forward and greeted with a smile.
"Hi, fourth prince." Liu Jiyun looked at Su Qizhi with a smile: "I haven't seen you for many years, and the fourth prince is more handsome than when he was a child." After speaking, he looked at Su Qizhi carefully, and said with a smile: "This face shape and temperament, There are some similarities with Concubine Liu back then."
"You know my concubine?"
"When Your Majesty married Concubine Liu, I had the honor to meet once." Liu Jiyun sighed, "Speaking of Concubine Liu's demeanor, it is really as bright as the moon, making people unforgettable at the first sight. It's just a pity, since ancient times All beauties are unlucky...I didn't expect Concubine Liu to go away at such a young age..." While speaking, Liu Jiyun's face became infinitely sad and regretful, and he looked quite emotional. After thinking about it for a while, Liu Lan woke up with a light cough, and smiled at Su Qizhi: "I'm really sorry, I mentioned Concubine Liu, and I hope the Fourth Prince doesn't take it to heart."
"It doesn't matter. In fact, I don't have much impression of the concubine mother. I only heard about her from the emperor."
"Will the emperor mention Concubine Liu to you?"
Su Qizhi said: "I often mention it."
Hearing this, Liu Jiyun smiled, "Your Majesty really has deep affection for Concubine Liu."
"Father and imperial concubine really have deep feelings for my mother and concubine."
"The feeling is very deep..." Liu Jiyun repeated it, then stood up and smiled, "It is said that Concubine Liu is the best at playing piano in the world, and the fourth prince has inherited the talent of Concubine Liu. Play a song?"
"Of course no problem." Su Qizhi smiled and said, "I wonder what Uncle Liu wants to hear?"
After pondering for a while, Liu Jiyun replied: "Let's just listen to the song "Lovesickness"."
While speaking, Liu Jiyun led the two of them to the small building next to them.
As soon as the door was opened, there was a strong smell of spices used to maintain the strings from inside.
Su Qizhi followed Liu Jiyun into it, and found that it was a room where dozens of pianos were placed in an orderly manner.
Liu Lan explained in a timely manner: "My father usually likes to collect pianos."
"Where are we talking about collecting," Liu Jiyun said, "It's just learning arty."
Arty?
Su Qizhi probably looked at Liu Jiyun's collection. Although these pianos are not as expensive as Yaoguang's, they are all rare masterpieces.
Without a certain vision, it is absolutely impossible to collect.
Su Qizhi said: "Uncle Liu spent a lot of energy collecting these pianos, right?"
"There's no need for effort," Liu Jiyun said with a smile: "As soon as I arrived at the piano store, I asked the boss to take out the most expensive pianos. When I heard that there was a good piano auctioned somewhere, I went to call for the highest price, and then moved these pianos back to the store. I'm at home. When it comes to appreciation, I really don't know anything about it. The fourth prince please choose the violin here."
Su Qizhi nodded, looked around the room carefully, then chose one, and sat down in front of it.
Stretch out your hands, pluck the strings slowly, and the tune of "Acacia" pours out.
Su Qizhi hasn't played this piece for a long time.
Now revisiting it again, Su Qizhi discovered that the original tune of "Lovesickness" is not so uncomfortable to listen to.
Su Qizhi raised his head to look at Liu Lan, and understood in his heart that it was because of this person in front of him that his state of mind changed.
With this in mind, today's song "Lovesickness" sounds less bleak and more lingering than usual.
Even so, when the song ended, Liu Jiyun still stayed where he was.
"Father...Father..." Liu Lan called out twice, and Liu Jiyun came back to his senses, and said with a smile: "The fourth prince's piano skills are really superb, and people will be intoxicated after listening to them." Before the other two could answer, He also said: "Lan'er, your mother is worshiping Buddha and burning incense in the Buddhist hall in the backyard. You can take the fourth prince to see her."
Liu Lan responded and led Su Qizhi to the Buddhist hall in the backyard.
This Buddhist hall was specially built for Mrs. Liu to burn incense and worship Buddha.
Although it was built in the Liu Mansion, the size of the Buddhist hall is no smaller than a regular temple.
Liu Lan led Su Qizhi to push the door in, and saw the green smoke surrounded inside, and at the same time, a thick fragrance rushed towards him.
It was originally a very tall building with a very spacious hall, but in this way, it made people feel a little gloomy.
Mrs. Liu was kneeling in front of the Buddha, reciting scriptures in a low voice.
"Mom," Liu Lan called out.
Madam Liu turned her head, looked at Liu Lan, then at Su Qizhi next to Liu Lan, nodded her head, then turned around and continued to chant sutras.
"This is the Fourth Prince," Liu Lan said again, "I want you to see him."
Su Qizhi also shouted from the side: "Hello, Aunt Liu."'
But this time, Mrs. Liu acted as if she didn't hear anything, and didn't respond at all.
Liu Lan and Su Qizhi looked at each other, but they couldn't leave first, so they could only stand where they were, listening to the murmur of scriptures wafting back and forth in their ears.
After a long time, Madam Liu stopped, got up and came to Su Qizhi's side, looked at him several times, and then said lightly: "He is a good boy."
Time to Return Man Xilan Volume 21 Homecoming Chapter [-] As You Like It
I met my parents, and then there was a family dinner.
Another gorgeous banquet was placed in the spacious hall, and this time, four people were eligible to sit down.
Liu Jiyun returned to normal and had been waiting in the hall for a long time. When he saw Su Qizhi coming in, he greeted him with a smile: "My mansion prepares a little wine, and I am honored to entertain the Fourth Prince. It's really splendid."
Su Qizhi also smiled back: "Uncle Liu is really polite."
"It should be, it should be." Liu Lan looked happy, and pulled Su Qizhi to sit next to her.Pointing to the dishes on the table, he said, "This is the signature dish of the chef in my house... This dish is specially ordered for you... and this..."
Liu Jiyun watched the actions of the two people, smiled without saying a word, there was a hint of admiration in his eyes.
After the three of them sat down, Mrs. Liu came in supported by two maids.
Madam Liu still had that indifferent expression, she just nodded slightly when she saw Su Qizhi, and then sat next to Liu Jiyun.
A meal is not a lively one, but it can barely be regarded as a good time for the host and guest.
After the meal, Liu Jiyun said to Liu Lan: "I want to discuss something with you for my father, can you go to the study with me?"
Liu Lan and Su Qi glanced at each other, and they both understood that what Father Liu was going to say at this time must have something to do with the two of them.
Liu Lan said seriously: "Father, the fourth prince..."
"Of course we go to the study together." Liu Jiyun said with a smile, "The fourth prince is a distinguished guest, how can he be negligent?"
When the three of them got up to leave, Mrs. Liu, who had not spoken all this time, suddenly called out, "Lan'er."
"Mother, what's the matter?" Liu Lan turned to look at her mother.
"The amulet passed down in our family, did you give it to the Fourth Prince?"
"Give it away." Thinking that the amulet was still safely hanging on Su Qi's chest, Liu Lan began to feel happy again: "I gave it away a long time ago."
Mrs. Liu nodded, said something very good, and then left the dining room with the girl's support.
Liu Jiyun led the way and led the two of them to the study.
Liu Lan and Su Qizhi followed silently, each thinking about their own concerns.
After walking for a while, Liu Lan suddenly reached out and took Su Qizhi's hand.
Surprised by this action, Su Qizhi raised his head and saw Liu Lan's gentle but firm eyes.
It clearly says: I will not give up...
Knowing what the other party wanted to convey, Su Qi smiled and rolled his eyes, conveying the same emotion.
The two walked hand in hand towards their destination.
In the study
Liu Jiyun sat on the main seat behind the desk, looked at the two people sitting quietly below, just smiled, but said nothing.
Liu Lan couldn't help but said first, "Father, you said you asked me to discuss something important, what exactly is it?"
Hearing this, Liu Jiyun joked, "Can't you see what my father wants to say?"
Having said this, Liu Lan also felt that there was no need to play tricks, so she said directly: "Father, no matter what you say, I definitely want to be with the Fourth Prince."
"You child..." Liu's father laughed loudly: "It's the first time I speak so eagerly, and it's actually because of this matter... Fourth prince, it seems that my son really has a lot of affection for you."
"Uncle Liu, you..." Su Qizhi looked at Liu Jiyun in astonishment.
Even Liu Lan opened his eyes wide, looking at his father in disbelief.
This performance is much worse than expected...
"You all seem to be surprised..." Liu Jiyun looked a little smug: "I have been in business for so many years, I have never experienced any weird things, I have never seen any joys and sorrows... If I don't have the ability to accept... I am the Liu family. How could the firm escape the storm after storm..."
"What does dad mean..." Liu Lan looked at Liu Jiyun expectantly.
"As your mother said, everything is predestined by God, and it would be futile for me to intervene..." Liu Jiyun said: "How can I object to something that the four princes agree with... Actually, as parents, as long as you are happy, We have nothing more to ask for…”
When the matter developed to this point, Liu Lan was completely dumbfounded.
Based on Liu's father's previous attitude, Liu Lan originally thought that today's meeting would definitely be no less than a violent storm.
Although I understand that visiting at home may have an impact on the relationship between each other, but if you really like someone, how can you not lead him to visit his family?
Liu Lan is ready for everything.
Just to flatter Liu's father, I prepared a basket of words, and I also thought about a lot of guarantees to work hard in the future. In addition, I moved with emotion and reason, and said some sensational words, so I am not afraid that the old man will not be moved.
If this is not enough, Liu Lan thought, although it is embarrassing to have a temper like a child, I have disdained this method since I was five years old, but special things need to be treated specially, and I went to my mother to make a fuss first. Field, I don't know if it will be effective...
But how did things go so smoothly?It was so smooth that Liu Lan had the illusion that she had all her strength and could not use it.
"Father, what do you mean is that you agree to me being with the fourth prince?" Liu Lan opened her mouth to confirm again.
"Of course I agree."
"The heir..." Liu Lan asked the question that parents should be most concerned about.
Liu Jiyun smiled and said, "I can't find an heir anywhere, but it's hard to find a lover."
This kind of development surprised Su Qizhi too. He looked at Liu Jiyun and sighed, "Uncle Liu is really enlightened."
Liu Jiyun smiled and said, "It's not open-minded, it's just a father's mood. Speaking of which, there is one more thing that I would like to confirm with the fourth prince."
"Uncle Liu, please tell me."
"Then if there is something to offend..."
"It's okay, you can ask whatever you want."
"Okay, then I won't be polite." Liu Jiyun pondered for a moment, and then said slowly: "Although my son is smart since he was a child, he is actually stubborn. Once he decides on something, he will never Looking back, it's as if he insisted on going out to practice at the age of 11. I couldn't stop him no matter how much I persuaded him back then. Now, his feelings for the fourth prince must be the same. I wonder if the fourth prince can feel it?"
Su Qizhi admitted frankly: "I feel it."
Liu Lan echoed from the side: "I feel it...Of course I feel it..."
"I can see Lan'er's feelings for the Fourth Prince, but I still don't know what kind of feelings the Fourth Prince has for him, and what kind of position he occupies in your heart... After all, your identities are very different. My concerns are just As a father, he is only worried about his son being hurt in the future..."
"I can understand your mood." Su Qizhi said seriously: "I can assure you that Lan and I are in the same mood, and our hearts are connected."
Liu Lan added with a smile on her face: "Of course, our hearts are the same..."
Liu Jiyun looked at Su Qi for a long while before he smiled and said: "I have heard many rumors about the fourth prince before, but after meeting today, I realized that the rumors are not true. The fourth prince is indeed a dragon and phoenix among men, and it is worth it My son is infatuated with you..."
Liu Lan still echoed from the side: "Well, I'm infatuated... I'm infatuated..."
The most serious problems were over, and the rest of the conversation became lighter.
Astronomy and Geography...Country Rumors....
They talked about everything, and they all had a good time.
It wasn't until the evening when the maid came in to present candlesticks for everyone, that Liu Jiyun smiled and said, "So it's so late."
Su Qizhi looked out at the sky: "I should say goodbye."
"It's getting late today, how about the fourth prince staying overnight in Liu's residence?" Liu Jiyun asked to stay.
Su Qizhi thought about it for a while, but didn't refuse, and said yes directly.
When he and Liu Lan got up and were about to leave the study, Su Qizhi suddenly called out, "Uncle Liu."
"Well, what's the matter with the fourth prince?"
"I can also make a promise to you. I will not take the initiative to compete with Brother Sanhuang for that position."
Hearing this, Liu Jiyun was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and said, "It's getting late, you should go back to the yard for dinner."
The sky was sinking gradually, Liu Lan and Su Qizhi were walking on the path in Liu Mansion Garden.
Liu Lan said, "I didn't expect things to go so smoothly..."
"Yeah," Su Qizhi also sighed: "I feel a little unbelievable."
"Actually, the last sentence you said to my father, I always feel that with your ability..."
"Lan," Su Qizhi interrupted Liu Lan's slightly guilty words, "Since you were young, what expectations did the people around you have of you?"
"Expectation? Of course, it is to do business well, and strive to turn Liu's firm into the largest firm in the entire mainland."
"Then will you give up the right to inherit the Liu family firm for me?"
"Of course I will. Although I didn't take over all the business," Liu Lan took out a stack of papers from her sleeve, and shook them in front of Su Qi: "But now I have brought all the business documents under my command."
"So, I am the same as you." Su Qizhi said: "Don't say that I have never been interested in that position. Even if I am interested, I can give up for you. What you can do for me, the same, I can do it for you too."
When Returning to Man Xilan Volume 22 Homecoming Chapter [-] Beneficiaries
The capital at noon is lively and bustling.
An inconspicuous small sedan chair deftly passed through the crowd, and finally stopped at the door of the largest restaurant in the Liu family. : "Third young master, the master is waiting in the innermost plum hall."
Su Ruizhi, who was called the third young master, responded, then got off the sedan chair and walked straight to the plum hall.
Pushing open the door, Su Ruizhi called out to the person in the house who was leaning against the window watching the street: "Uncle."
Liu Jiyun turned his head, saw Su Ruizhi, and said with a smile, "Ruizhi is here, why is it so early this time?"
"There are very few things to deal with today. I rushed here early."
"Come on, come in and sit down. We haven't seen each other for a long time. My restaurant changed a chef a while ago. Let's try his signature dishes today."
"Okay, all the chefs at my cousin's house are very skilled, and today I can count as something to eat."
After exchanging pleasantries for a while, Su Ruizhi saw that Liu Jiyun was always looking out of the window from time to time, and asked involuntarily, "Cousin, what are you looking at?"
Liu Jiyun smiled meaningfully: "I'm looking at a painting."
"Painting? What painting?"
Liu Jiyun pulled Su Ruizhi to his side, pointed at the two people on the street, and said, "Ruizhi, do you think those two teenagers together look like a painting?"
Looking at Liu Jiyun's fingers, the two people Su Ruizhi saw turned out to be...The Fourth Emperor and Cousin Liu Lan?
On the bustling street, these two teenagers walking side by side are particularly attractive.
The one on the left, dressed in white, has a slightly cold demeanor, but in this coldness, there is a more attractive attraction.
The one on the right, dressed in a green shirt, held large and small packages in his hand, and he felt gentle and harmless.
But these two people are surprisingly harmonious when they are together, and they have an aura that outsiders can't disturb.
The two of them walked very slowly, looking at each stall carefully, and stopped when they felt interested. If they bought something, after the boss wrapped it up, the young man in green shirt would consciously take out the purse, and then change it. Consciously lift the package in your hands.
Su Ruizhi watched his cousin lift two big paper bags into his hand again, the fourth younger brother looked back at the big and small bags in his hand, suddenly smiled and leaned forward, and kissed his cousin on the lips...
kissed...
kissed...
Like a thunderbolt in the clear sky, Su Ruizhi suddenly froze in place, completely stunned.
Cousin really likes the fourth brother...they are really together...
Judging by the looks of these two people, they should have a very good relationship...
A person as cold as Si Huangdi would smile so sweetly at his cousin... Not to mention, the emotion contained in the eyes of cousin looking at Si Huangdi...
Since he was a child, he has noticed that his cousin treats the younger brother very differently... But now, he finally sees what he worries about...
When the things that I had been worrying for a long time became reality, I would feel inexplicably "it finally happened" in my heart, which is similar to a feeling of relief.
However, more are still unwilling and jealous...
Such sweetness finally hurt Su Ruizhi's eyes...
Obviously I met my cousin first, obviously my cousin was only good to me at first...
Why did the fourth brother jump out and snatch his cousin away?
Maybe in this life, I won't show an innocent and romantic expression like Ye Yuanluo, saying what my favorite cousin is... But Su Ruizhi's desire to monopolize Liu Lan has never changed.
Whether this is love, Su Ruizhi is not sure.
He only knew that in his life, since his cousin appeared, he had become more colorful.
Therefore, the cousin must not be allowed to go to the side of the fourth emperor brother.
In the past, I was weak and needed my uncle's help urgently, so I didn't dare to act rashly.I can only drag my cousin to drink with him when he is busy.But nine times out of ten times, my cousin will definitely bring the fourth brother with me. Sometimes, it is really an eyesore.
But now, with his own strength, coupled with the excitement brought about by today's scene, Su Ruizhi secretly made up his mind to take his cousin back.
He has already taken away his father's favor from the fourth brother, and taken away the greatest possibility of the crown prince, so for his cousin, Su Ruizhi feels that he is bound to win it too.
After a long time, when Liu Lan and Su Qizhi walked out of sight, Su Ruizhi said, "Cousin and Fourth Brother..."
"What is the relationship between the two of them, Ruizhi hasn't understood yet?" Liu Jiyun said with a smile: "Yesterday your cousin brought people home to meet your aunt and me..."
After hearing this, Su Ruizhi drank the wine in his hand, and then said: "Listen to my cousin's tone, do you not object to their affairs?"
"Objection? Why objection?" Liu Jiyun asked back.
"In this way, the Liu family will have no heirs."
"The heir is nothing more than a child. The world is so big, can't you find someone who can inherit the Liu family firm?"
"But that's not the blood of the Liu family, so the money will be for nothing for outsiders."
"The money of the Liu family is also earned from outsiders..." Liu Jiyun was particularly open-minded about the issue of heirs: "Besides, even if he is of the blood of the Liu family, who can guarantee that he will be able to develop the business? Can you guarantee that the blood of the Liu family will continue?"
"My cousin is really an open-minded person, no wonder he can do such a big business." Su Ruizhi raised his glass to salute Liu Jiyun: "Ruizhi respects my uncle."
"It's easy to say," Liu Jiyun took a drink from his glass, "Ruizhi, do you know that my cousin is a businessman."
Su Ruizhi couldn't help laughing: "Which Qing countryman hasn't heard of my cousin's reputation?"
"As a businessman, no matter when, I only pursue the most interests."
"So?" Su Rui asked in confusion.
"As long as the fourth prince is with your cousin, he will not take the initiative to compete with you for that seat." Liu Jiyun said: "Even if he stated before that he would not interfere in the position of prince, but after all, it is not as good as this level of relationship. insurance."
Su Ruizhi said sarcastically: "It turns out that my cousin used my cousin as collateral."
"You can't say that," Liu Jiyun said again: "As a businessman, I also pay attention to getting what I need and doing fair deals. You can't deny that I have fulfilled them."
"Then if in the future, my cousin and the fourth brother part ways..."
"So what?" Liu Jiyun said with a smile: "According to their current feelings, it will be a few years before they really part ways. Maybe at that time, it will be a good thing for them to separate. Maybe your cousin will think about it, take it easy Marry a woman, although I don't care about the origin of the heir, but with the blood of the Liu family, it's still the best, isn't it..."
Su Ruizhi pondered Liu Jiyun's words carefully, and felt more and more that this cousin was unfathomable.
Supported himself as the prince, and tied down the most threatening prince...
After all the calculations, only the Liu family is the biggest beneficiary.
Time to Return Man Xilan Volume Four Homecoming Chapter 23 Appears to be in harmony with spirit
Su Ruizhi looked at his cousin, and suddenly felt a strange feeling in his heart, as if he was just getting to know him for the first time.
Su Ruizhi understands that the Liu family's business can achieve what it is today, and his cousin is definitely not a kind person, at least not as kind as he appears.Su Ruizhi himself has experienced a lot of intrigues in the officialdom, and he has seen the ugliness in the world, but no matter how despicable the character is, he would never think of using his son's feelings like this.
Although it was true as what my uncle said, he was able to push the boat smoothly, and both parties were happy, but such a result still made people feel uneasy.
For example, normal parents would object to such a relationship, and their opposition would at least be frank, while enlightened parents would approve of such a relationship, and their approval would be entirely out of consideration for their son's future happiness.Even those who force their children into political marriages are a hundred times better than this kind of thing, at least they are more open and aboveboard.
Unlike my uncle, who made enlightened decisions with purpose.
Not to mention all the benefits, but also all the good names.
This kind of thing is like swallowing a fly. It will definitely not be life-threatening, but it will make people feel disgusting.
'I'm a businessman, so naturally I have to get what I need. '
The cousin agreed to the cousin and the fourth brother to be together in order to stabilize the fourth brother.
So why did he spend all his money to spare no effort to support himself as a prince?
Su Ruizhi recalled the first time he saw his cousin. At that time, he was still a drowsy child living in the cold palace. He didn't understand anything. It can be said that his future was bleak. What kind of qualities did he have that attracted his cousin? Uncle let him make such a big bet?
Seeing Su Ruizhi's thoughtful expression, Liu Jiyun smiled and said, "What is Ruizhi thinking?"
"Oh, it's nothing..." Su Ruizhi immediately came back to his senses, "It's just the matter of the fourth emperor and cousin just now, which really surprised me."
"Accident? What was the accident?" Liu Jiyun raised his eyebrows: "Is it an accident that they came together, or was it an accident that I agreed to them being together?"
"Probably both."
"I can understand the accident in the back, but the one in the front... I thought you wouldn't be surprised that they were together." Liu Jiyun said with a smile: "The three of you played together since you were young, and you should have understood many things very early on. Your fourth brother, although he looks icy and cold, is completely a wonderful person who is cold on the outside and hot on the inside, so it is not surprising that he attracted your cousin..."
Su Ruizhi immediately complained: "Cousin, I don't want anyone to talk about how good the Fourth Emperor is in my ears... I've been tired of hearing it since I was a child..."
Su Ruizhi's words properly highlighted his familiarity with Liu Jiyun, without being rude. It's just such a sour joke, how much sincerity is there in it?
Sure enough, when Liu Jiyun heard such complaints, he laughed even more: "To be honest, your fourth brother is really not the same as us."
"Oh, what did my cousin say?"
"If one day you hide your identity and go to a post station to deliver a letter, but the postman on duty that day refuses to accept your letter, what will you do then?" Liu Jiyun did not answer directly, but threw out a wild horse bull. unrelated question.
"Of course he has to ask his superior to deal with it. If he refuses to accept the letter without reason, if the superior finds out, this postman will not even think about doing it."
Liu Jiyun said: "I knew you would definitely answer like this. If it were me, I would definitely take out the silver and hand it to the soldier along with the letter. If he is not tempted by one tael of silver, then add it to five taels, five taels No, just twelve taels... There is always a time when he is tempted."
Su Ruizhi nodded: "This is indeed my cousin's style, but I don't know how it is.
