Chapter 22 Lao Liu's Rival
Liu You didn't know the person who came, but judging from his name just now and Lao Liutou's reaction, he came to find Liu Laochen. And Liu Laochen didn't seem to welcome him very much.
There were guests passing by. Liu Yiu did not dare to be negligent. When he went out, he shouted loudly: "Wait a few, I'll come now."
As he said that, he quickly walked out to open the door for the guests. When he got closer, he found that the fat man was actually here in a carriage. Liu Yi looked carefully. Although there were only two inferior horses, and their hooves and fur were not very good, in this era of underdeveloped transportation, having a horse is a symbol of status. Most people cannot afford horses, let alone a carriage.
Liu Yiuan opened the door and bowed, "Several gentlemen have been waiting for a long time, I wonder if you are?"
"You are a virtuous nephew, aren't you?" The fat old man in the head held his hands and said kindly: "I am Liu Sanwu, my virtuous nephew came to my mansion yesterday morning, so I should still remember it?"
"Oh, it turns out to be my uncle!" Liu Yi suddenly realized and bent down and apologized, "I didn't meet my uncle last time. I'm so rude. I'm welcomed me in quickly. My parents and the others are all in the house now."
"Well, okay, okay." Liu Sanwu smiled and nodded, turned around and ordered the two people behind him, "You can carry the things in and wait outside."
"Yes, lord!" the two servants agreed respectfully.
"Uncle, it's cold outside, so let them sit in the house." It's the cold winter month now, and the cold wind is blowing tightly outside. If people stand outside, they won't be freezing.
"It's okay, Yi Yi's nephew doesn't have to pay attention to them. They are all used to it. Let's go into the house quickly. I'll freeze all the way down." Liu Sanwu didn't care. Since ancient times, there has been a difference in superiority and inferiority. The servants must look like servants. How can they mess up? As he said that, he took Liu Yi's hand and walked straight to the main hall, which made Liu Yi feel uncomfortable. He thought to himself, no wonder Lao Liu doesn't like this Liu Sanwu. Not many people like him who are self-conscious and superior and extremely self-centered.
After entering the house and seeing Liu Laoshi sitting in the main hall, Liu Sanwu walked over with a smile and said, "Brother Fengkai, if you haven't seen each other for more than ten years, you are still as beautiful as before!"
"Fengkai?" Liu Yi looked at Liu Laoshi. Is this Liu Laoshi's name? Liu Fengkai is a very good name. Why haven't you heard of it before?
Liu Laoshi sat there and didn't move. He glanced at Liu Sanwu with great politeness and said, "Why are you here? Our Liu family is poor and poor. I'm afraid we can't call you, the big Buddha. You might as well invite you back!"
"Brother Fengkai, what's this? Although your family is a little poor, it's not as good as not being able to greet guests. Besides, our two families are also relatives, how can you keep people from thousands of miles away like this?" Liu Sanwu stretched out his head and looked in the inner wing, saying, "Why didn't you see Fangmei? Wasn't she here today?"
"Shut up!" Liu Laoshi shouted loudly as if he was stepped on his tail: "Afang is already a member of my Liu family and has no relationship with you anymore. Please call her Mrs. Liu in the future. If Afang and Afang call me again, don't blame me for driving you out!"
"Afang? Could it be my mother?" Liu Yi looked at Lao Liu's face and thick neck, and felt a smell of old vinegar spread. There is no need to guess that Liu Sanwu must have been Lao Liu's love rival before.
"Uncle, please sit down." Liu Yi went forward and asked Liu Sanwu, who was still standing, to the right seat next to Liu Laoshi, and then sat down in the first seat.
Liu Sanwu looked at Liu Yiyi with satisfaction and said honestly to Liu: "After so many years, even the children have grown up so old, why can't you let go? We are brothers, I am your elder brother, will I compete with you for your wife? You said yourself, have I ever come to harass you in the years that Afang married into your family?"
"I came here this time, in addition to visiting you old couple, there is another main purpose to thank my nephew. If there wasn't a nephew there yesterday morning, our family would probably be in danger."
"Oh?" Liu looked at Liu Yishi honestly and said, "Is there such a thing? Why haven't you heard Yishi mention it?"
"Dad, the killer Wang Kui ordered was caught in his uncle's mansion." Liu Yiuan reminded in a low voice that he had not mentioned these things in detail with Liu Laoshi and the others. One was because he was afraid that they would worry, and the other was because he was afraid that Lao Liu would feel unhappy. After all, he didn't know what unsolvable festivals between Lao Liu and Liu Sanwu were.
"Oh, so that's how it is." Lao Liu's face looked a little better. Having a capable son was very flirting, especially in front of his former rival, which made Lao Liu's heart even more vanity.
"Come on! Carry the things in!" Seeing that Liu Sanwu's honest face was slow, he ordered his servants to carry the gift. "Brother Fengkai, the end of the year is approaching. These are the New Year goods I bought for your family. There are not many things, but they represent my whole heart. It is a thank you gift from a virtuous nephew who saved our family."
Liu Sanwu waved his hand and told the people to remove the red cloth covered by the gift box.
The gift box contains two top-quality silks and a row of new money that looks dazzling.
It’s very real, just giving gifts and money, and only rich local rich man like Liu Sanwu can do such a thing. But it’s hard to guarantee that he is not deliberately trying to be honest.
"Uncle and uncle are polite. Our two families are relatives, so it is appropriate to help each other when they are in trouble. Besides, the last incident was caused by me. It is a crime to implicate my uncle's family. How could he dare to accept such a heavy gift?" Liu Yiu said before Liu honestly said: "We will take these things, so please take them back."
Liu Laoshi said with a gloomy face: "You are right. If you take something back, we small families can't afford it. In addition, our family's grains and vegetables are not affordable to treat your golden mouth. I won't leave you for dinner today. Please invite it back! Let's take it away for me!"
After saying that, Liu Laoshi got up and went into the inner room, leaving Liu Sanwu with an embarrassed look on his face.
"Fengkai, you still have this bad temper after so many years. Although I, Liu Sanwu, have become a little arrogant, have I ever despised your poor family and small business? Every time, you are despising yourself?" Liu Sanwu stood up and shouted at the small door of the inner room: "Since you don't welcome me, I will say goodbye now. But I will keep the things I, Liu Sanwu, can't take back the things I gave!"
Liu Sanwu turned around and wanted to leave, but was stopped by Liu Yi. Liu Yi apologized in a low voice: "Uncle, don't be dissatisfied, my father is so bad-tempered. It will be fine in two days, don't take it to heart. I'll apologize to you here. But please take these things back, otherwise, according to my father's temper, you will definitely throw them on the street after you leave. These are all your hard-earned money, don't be trashed."
"Oh! Forget it, why don't I understand your father's temper? I'll take these things back first. I'll thank you later if I have the chance in the future." Liu Sanwu sighed and ordered the servants to carry the things out.
