C448 Jealousy
Old Man Liu looked at the picture in Liu Zhihao's hand and asked, what is this?
Why did you give him a painting for no reason at all?
Liu Zhihao waved the painting on his hand, and smiled, saying, "If grandfather does not want it, I will take it."
If he didn't only have one painting, he would have already taken it away. Why would he give it to his grandfather?
Hearing that, Old Man Liu immediately snatched the painting from his hands, and while opening it, he said, "It can't be the portrait of the young lady that you have your eyes on, right?"
"Yes..."
"Really?" Old Man Liu looked at Liu Zhihao in surprise, "Which family is this lady from? "What's your character like?" His eldest grandson was still unmarried at his age, and this was one of his biggest worries.
Liu Zhihao thought of the cute little thing, his expression softened as he laughed and said, "Good luck with character, and good looks."
Seeing his eldest grandson's expression, Old Man Liu clicked his tongue twice, thinking that he had misjudged her, "Which nun ..." Before he could finish his words, his voice suddenly stopped.
This ..
"Grandpa, is the girl from the Liu Family satisfied?" It was rare to see her grandfather's dumbstruck expression, but the smile in Liu Zhihao's eyes became even wider.
Old Man Liu blinked his eyes, took another deep breath, and seriously sized up the little girl in the painting. "Is this a small thing?" There were traces of Mo Er on her brows and eyes.
Liu Zhihao nodded his head, "It is little, does grandpa feel satisfied with this little girl?" He was quite satisfied.
After looking for a while, Old Man Liu carefully rolled up the portrait and kicked his grandson. He asked again with a smile, how did he get the small picture?
The last time he wrote a letter to Mo Er asking him to draw a small portrait to him, he did not receive a reply even after half a month.
He gently touched the portrait and felt his heart soften. This child's looks were great, and he specifically picked on the merits of her parents.
"I passed by the Ninghua County and stayed with Fourth Brother for the night."
"How is your fourth brother?" How are you doing? "
Liu Zhihao looked at his grandfather who was anxiously asking questions. He lightly sighed and said, "Grandfather, are you sure you want to stand here and chat with me?"
This place was indeed not a good place to chat. Old Man Liu slapped his forehead and pulled Liu Zhihao towards the study.
He was indeed out of favor.
Ever since his fourth brother came back, he had lost his favour.
Liu Zhihao did not struggle, and allowed Old Man Liu to pull him away. He asked while smiling: "Grandfather, didn't you want me to go wash my face and eat dinner?"
"As a man, you can't die even if you're hungry."
"..."
He looked at Old Man Liu's back, at the figure that was even older than before, and pursed his lips. He also purposely said that in his grandfather's heart, I can't compare to Fourth Brother.
Old Man Liu laughed, and said that he would get married early, and he was comparable to them.
He was truly afraid that this grandson of his would be single for the rest of his life.
"I also want to get married. Isn't there no lady here?"
"What?" Old Man Liu stopped and turned his head to look at Liu Zhihao, thinking that he had misheard, "Hao Er, do you really want to get married?" He could find a lot of girls in the capital for his eldest grandson to find.
Liu Zhihao raised his eyebrows, saying that Grandfather didn't want me to get married?
Every time he received a letter from his grandfather, nine out of ten letters would urge him to get married and have children.
He also knew his grandfather's worry. Previously, he really didn't think much about it, but now, seeing his fourth brother's happy family, he also had that kind of longing in his heart.
"Yes, yes, yes .." Old Man Liu swept away his usual dignity and grinned from happiness, "What kind of girl do you like? Grandfather will have someone help you take a look. " eldest daughter-in-law did not dare to hope, so she could only trouble her third son's wife to look at him.
Liu Zhihao openly said that if she wasn't a delicate little girl, it would be fine.
He was a soldier and a fighter. His killing intent was heavy, and he was afraid of scaring the little girl.
Besides, he would inherit the general's estate in the future, so it was not suitable for him to find a cute little girl to be his wife.
"You don't need to say that." The eldest daughter-in-law of the Liu Family had to be steady. She had to be able to bear the burden of being the eldest daughter-in-law. "I understand. I will find a good daughter-in-law for you." The eldest grandson had suffered for half her life, so it was right for him to have a good wife to pamper him.
Liu Zhihao acknowledged that as long as his grandfather is in charge.
He had no objections.
After this matter was settled, Old Man Liu's mood became extremely good. He went to the study room and impatiently asked about Liu Zhimo's family matters.
When he heard such a small interesting thing, he really wanted to rush over to the Ninghua County and take a good look at his great-granddaughter.
"Xiaoxiao really likes this Uncle Uncle of mine." Liu Zhihao said proudly.
It was a glorious thing to be able to get a little liking.
"How do you know?"
"She likes to kiss me." Liu Zhihao caressed his stubbled beard and said, "This is the expression of someone who likes each other a little." Speaking of which, he missed that little lump of meat a bit more.
Hearing this, Old Man Liu became even more envious and jealous. His eyes flew towards Liu Zhihao, wishing that he could go to Ninghua County and let his great-granddaughter come personally.
Glancing at Old Man Liu, Liu Zhihao let out a rare laugh, and asked Old Man Liu if he was especially envious of him.
Stinking brat, you know the answer but still ask.
Old Man Liu stared at him, then gently opened the portrait and sighed, he did not know when she would be able to hug his great-granddaughter.
Liu Zhimo drank a mouthful of tea and said that he would have to wait until his Fourth Brother was transferred back to the Capital.
By the time Mo Er had transferred back to the capital, the yellow flower had already turned cold.
It would be better if he thought of a way to go to Ninghua County.
Seeing that his grandfather's expression was gloomy, Liu Zhihao stopped teasing him and changed the topic, "Did your grandfather give such a small name? "It's quite nice to listen to." Liu Xi Ran, Liu Xi Ran. It was a nice thing to say, and also a good thing to say.
No one knew that when Old Man Liu heard this, he became even more depressed. Gritting his teeth, he claimed that he wasn't the one who started it, and got beaten up by that despicable old fellow, Luo Laotou.
When he thought of using all the possible names he could think of to tell Mo Er, Mo Er replied that he was a step too late.
This made him hit his chest. This was too hateful, truly too hateful.
His great grandfather had been deprived of the right to even name his family.
"..."
Liu Zhihao rubbed his nose. He thought that this small name was given by his grandfather, but who would have known ..
He cleared his throat, comforted Old Man Liu, and told him not to be angry.
After taking two deep breaths and drinking a cup of tea, Old Man Liu's anger calmed down.
"Your grandpa also gave you your child's name." He must also take's next child's name early, and must not lose to Luo Laotou again.
Thinking about how Luo Laotou snatched away his right to take names from him, he felt depressed in his heart.
Liu Zhihao indifferently nodded his head and said, "Alright, all of it will be picked by grandfather.
Old Man Liu looked at Liu Zhihao a few times before sighing and saying, "I don't even know when or how old your child will be when he is born."
"Good girl, get married anytime."
"Alright, alright. I'll try my best to get married this year. Next year, I'll carry a grandson in my arms."
"..."
It seemed like his grandfather's wish was too big.
Liu Zhihao facepalmed himself, then changed the topic.
The moment Old Man Liu heard of the border issue, his expression became serious and started to seriously discuss it with the big grandson.
An hour later, Liu Zhihao walked out of the study and returned to his courtyard.
In the hour that he returned, the entire Liu Family knew about it.
Especially when Jiang Yingying heard about it, her expression changed again and again.
He hadn't been back for four or five years, so why did he suddenly return?
As soon as he came back, it was no good.
She wished that he would die at the border and never come back.
She walked around the room a few times, her temper getting more and more irritable, and she couldn't help but smash the things in her room.
Looking at the broken pieces on the floor, his heart felt better. Just as he was about to call someone in to clean up, Liu Wenjie came back, and saw that Jiang Yingying had smashed his room clean, he frowned in anger and asked her what was wrong. Who had angered her?
He understood Jiang Yingying's personality, once she was angry she liked to smash things, who knew how many times she had changed things in the room.
Luckily, the Liu Family had some background. Otherwise, how could they be blamed by her?
How could she admit it in front of her husband? She was angry because her eldest son had returned, so she smashed things. If she were to say it like that, her husband would definitely fall out with her.
She stood up and forced a smile.
She winked at her mother and told her to call someone in to clean it up.
Mother quickly went out and called for the servants to come in and clean up the room.
After the room was cleaned, Liu Wenjie stepped into the room and sat on the chair. He took the hot tea that the servant had poured for him and slowly drank a mouthful to suppress the anger in his heart.
Jiang Yingying sat opposite of him and looked at him eagerly, asking him why he had come back so early today?
"I'll be back soon."
Hearing that, Jiang Yingying made an 'oh' sound, and suddenly didn't know what to say anymore.
Recently, she had no topic to discuss with Liu Wenjie anymore. This kind of feeling made her feel a little panicked.
If this went on, he would go further and further away from her.
"Husband, how did Shan Er perform in the military camp?" She had nothing to say.
Speaking of his youngest son, Liu Wenjie put down the teacup and raised his head to look at Jiang Yingying.
Not good, not bad. At least he didn't embarrass the Liu Family. Let him stay in the camp and see if he could go further.
As a father, he hoped that his younger son would improve.
However, he also knew the personality of his youngest son. Wanting him to have a future like his eldest son, that was impossible.
He just hoped that he could perform well in the military camp. When he was done with his experiential learning, he would find a chance to let him return to the capital and find a bodyguard for him.
Seeing that Liu Wenjie was in a good mood, Jiang Yingying took the opportunity to ask when his son would be back.
The thought of her son suffering in a place like the military camp pained her to the core.
She had mentioned this to her husband quite a few times, but he hadn't moved at all. He had even turned his head to her and advised her that a man's ambition was strong and he shouldn't stay at home, but should train outside instead.
