Chapter 156 Fortunately
Mr. Liu Er said this, and Mrs. Liu Er nodded.
"Children Chenghan can be regarded as our nobleman." Mrs. Liu said that since the first meeting, the horse they pulled the cart was poisoned and Rong Chenghan borrowed the military horses to them. Moreover, if it weren't for Rong Chenghan, they wouldn't have been able to judge what kind of poison was in the horse, and the matters involved could not be easily decided. Next, Rong Chenghan helped a lot in the matter of adopting Liu Yuwen.
And that's what's happening now.
When Mr. Liu Er said this, Mr. Liu nodded.
Liu Ruosi found that the topic was moving in the direction she least wanted to see, and immediately spoke out and brought the topic back.
"Dad, why did the eldest brother explain this to his father?" Liu Ruosi asked Master Liu Er.
"What else can he do? He just kept apologizing to me. He said that he didn't want to give the book to Mr. Zhang at the beginning, but Mr. Zhang saw it and kept begging him. He thought that Mr. Zhang and his father were colleagues and it was not easy to offend him, so he gave the book to Mr. Zhang... Later, he didn't dare to tell me because he was afraid that I would blame him." Mr. Liu Er learned Liu Yujiang's words at that time.
Just looking at Master Liu Er's expression and tone, we can see that Master Liu Er was not satisfied with what Mr. Liu Yujiang gave.
"What did dad say?" Liu Ruosi asked again.
"I said a few words to him," said Master Liu Er. However, in front of Rong Chenghan, Liu Cheng, and the Zhang family, Master Liu Er had to take into account the face of the Liu family, so he did not blame Liu Yujiang deeply. "He had a good attitude, just said that he was wrong. I'm sorry to me, I won't dare to do it again in the future."
"Does he dare to have a bad attitude?" Liu Ruosi said, "What he said was nothing but empty words. My mother told me just now that she had adopted the eldest brother thanks to not listening to the old lady. Otherwise..."
Liu Yujiang had no rare books to sell, so he sold the imitation books as rare books. If Master Liu Er adopted him as his heir, then the ancient books, calligraphy and paintings of Master Liu Er would be in danger. Moreover, it was not just that...
"Why should Mr. Zhang believe that the eldest brother is a rare book? He is willing to buy it for a lot of money?" There are many fake antique calligraphy and paintings on the market. Mr. Zhang himself is not an expert.
"Of course... because of me." Master Liu Er said. Obviously, he thought of this too. "I am not at ease now..."
"Dad, have you ever given any other book and calligraphy to my elder brother?" Liu Ruosi asked hurriedly.
"I thought about it carefully just now, except for this book, there is nothing else. I also know that he is not a person who loves books." Mr. Liu Er said that this book was given by Liu Yujiang because he saw it and begged him.
"Dad is afraid that the eldest brother will resell other fake calligraphy and paintings outside because of his father's name?"
"I'm just worried about this." Mr. Liu Er nodded, and Liu Ruosi hit his mind.
"Master, please ask Dalang later." Mrs. Liu Er said.
"Even if I ask, how could he say it?" Master Liu Er smiled bitterly.
"Then I have to investigate privately." Liu Ruosi said.
"I have the same plan. Thanks to knowing now, it's not too late to make up for it." Master Liu Er said.
"In addition, I think my father should also make a sound..." Liu Ruosi thought about it and suggested.
"Okay, this will prevent Dalang from going astray and falling deeper in the future." Mr. Liu Er nodded frequently, "I didn't expect him to be like this... and his family was unfortunate."
"Why don't the master talk to the master?" Mrs. Liu Er said, "The old lady must not say that master."
"The old lady is old and spoils him so much. If you don't know, don't know. I want to talk about it, and I also want him to have a clear mind." Mr. Liu said, "If you want to discipline Liu Yujiang, it is natural that Master Liu is more legitimate. Mr. Liu knows this, and he must tell Master Liu whether it is reasonable or not.
The family is discussing that they should be more careful about Liu Yujiang. A servant came to report that it was Mr. Liu who was back.
"I'll go see my elder brother and talk to him." Master Liu Er stood up and said.
"Master, please pay attention to the wording." Mrs. Liu Er whispered to Master Liu Er. No matter what, Master Liu and Liu Yujiang are father and son.
"I know the importance of it." Mr. Liu Er nodded and went forward.
Mr. Liu Er walked for a while. Grandma Liu came and brought a basket of peaches.
"... Someone gave it to my master's yamen. It's not rare, but it's still fresh. I'll try it for my second uncle, aunt and third sister." Liu Da/Grandma came in and said with a smile on her face. I don't know if she is not used to Liu Yuwen's existence. Liu Da/Grandma said in her words that he didn't mention Liu Yuwen at all.
"The old lady loves to eat this, so she should send it to the old lady." Mrs. Liu Er asked Liu Da/Grandma to sit down, and said with a smile.
"The old lady picked the soft-he and sent it to her." Liu Da/grandma said, "I remember that the third sister also likes to eat it for peaches, so she has to pick it to her and bring it to her."
"Thank you sister-in-law." Liu Ruosi smiled, "Brother Wen has also said that he wants to eat peaches these two days. If he comes back, he will definitely be happy."
The smile on Grandma Liu's face was a little stiff, and Liu Ruosi just did not see it.
"It's that." Mrs. Liu nodded and asked the girl to collect the peaches, "Wash it clean and take the ice cubes to cover the town. In the future, the fifth master will come back and have a delicious meal."
Grandma Liu was even more uncomfortable when she saw that Mrs. Liu and her daughter valued Liu Yuwen like this, but she still had to smile and endure it.
"Why did you hear that you are not very healthy these days?" Mrs. Liu asked Liu Da/Grandma. Liu Da/Grandma's complexion was indeed a bit worse than usual.
"It's just a little tired," Liu Da/Grandma said the word "tired" and suddenly felt a little regretful. Now Mrs. Liu Er and Mrs. Liu San are helping in charge of the business, especially Mrs. Liu San, who are eager to take care of more things. If Mrs. Liu San knows this, she will be afraid that there will be a storm. So she hurriedly explained it back, "It's not a problem. My aunt knows a lot. This season has always been a bit bitter."
"Although you are young, you should pay more attention to maintenance." Mrs. Liu Er told Liu Da/Grandma.
"It's still my aunt who feels sorry for me." Grandma Liu said, and as she talked about the rare book, "About Zhang's family, Grandpa, I just came back and told me..."
Mrs. Liu exchanged a look with Liu Ruosi and understood the real purpose of Liu Da/Grandma coming here at this time. Neither of them said anything, but only heard what Mrs. Liu said.
"... It was the eldest and the eldest brother who was in a turmoil, and he gave them the book in vain, which made it clear that it was a very good book imitation. Now that the Zhang family is in ruins and poor, he tried his best to make money. He sold an imitation book as a rare book. It was obvious that they were extremely poor and cheated on people, but they said that it was the rare book he bought from the eldest brother after spending money!" When Liu Da and Grandma said this, she was already feeling aggrieved and angry.
"What kind of family are we? The eldest brother, don't say he refuses, and dare not do such things. If you are known, how can you be a human being and how can you meet your second uncle!"
"I don't know that my aunt and my third sister have now become a slutty family. This is not the first time I sell a fake book. I said that just a few days ago, I sold an antique, but later I was knocked to the door, saying it was a fake one and it was not worth much money. This was revealed, but I don't know how many of them were." Liu Da/Grandma talked about the bad deeds of the Zhang family again, and it seemed that she had carefully investigated and specifically said that she would know for Mrs. Liu Er.
"I don't understand these, and I just heard from the old woman below. There are all the children of aristocratic families outside, some who pretend to be pretending to do this business and sell fake things to others to cheat money. Our eldest brother told me just now, and he was very regretful. He shouldn't have cared about face at the beginning. Now that such a thing happened, I was afraid that my second uncle and aunt would be confused in private. I told our eldest brother that the second uncle and aunt were both people who understood, and they did not believe in their own nephews, but instead believed in the scoundrels outside. Those people didn't say anything and did nothing for a few dollars."
After Grandma Liu said this, she looked at Mrs. Liu Er and Liu Ruosi.
"I also believe that the eldest brother will not do such a thing." Liu Ruosi said vaguely, "Where will the eldest brother and sister-in-law still lack expenses to do such a bad thing? I don't believe that the eldest brother and sister-in-law are such people."
Is Liu Yujiang and Liu Da/Grandma lacking expenses? It should be that there is no shortage. But when managing housework, they still refuse to miss any opportunity to make money.
"Don't be too careful, your second uncle won't think so." Mrs. Liu knew what Liu Da/Grandma said these words, so she said, "It's just that our family has always been rigorous. Your second uncle also means being strict with oneself." Treating others with lenient treatment and self-discipline is always the family motto of the Liu family.
"I also know that my second uncle is a heart that cherishes his children and nephews." Liu Da/Grandma wiped the corners of her eyes with a veil and said in agreement.
After receiving the affirmation of Mrs. Liu and Liu Ruosi, and then the promises of both of them, saying that they would persuade Mr. Liu Er and would never have any bad views on Liu Yujiang. Only then did Liu Da/Grandma leave with satisfaction.
In the evening, Liu Ruosi was in Mr. Liu'er's house and accompanied Mr. Liu'er to Mr. Liu for a while. Seeing that it was not early, she said goodbye and returned to the room.
Master Liu Er looked at Liu Ruosi's back and thoughtful.
"Master, what do you think?" Mrs. Liu asked when he saw that Mr. Liu's expression was strange.
"The child Chenghan refused to stay for dinner today." Master Liu Er said, "I'm afraid I remembered it. He also said that he would continue to search for books and return them to me. I saw what he meant. If he couldn't find the same book, he wouldn't come to us."
"So what?"
"I'm a little suspicious of our Sier..."
