Chapter 386 Going home

"Second boss! Second boss!" Li Biao trotted to the backyard and shouted excitedly: "Butler Liu is here! Second boss! Butler Liu is here!"

Li Biao shouted happily, and he jumped when he ran. Although his mind was a little unsophisticated, he also knew that the New Year was approaching and Butler Liu Wuchen came to Chang'an now, which must be related to the New Year. He went home to reunite with his parents.

"Wuchen? Why is he here at this time?" Liu Erzhao put down the book in his hand, looked at Li Biao, who was still smiling, and then turned his head and asked softly at Liu Yan, who was on the side of Yanmo, and said, "Xiaoyan, what time is the first today?"

"Go back to the second young master, today is not the first day. It is already the 21st of the twelfth lunar month. In a few days, the New Year will be coming." Liu Yan lightly in the ink and said to Liu Ertiao in a low voice with a hint of joy: "Butler Wuchen must be here to ask you to go back to celebrate the New Year."

"It's twenty-one? So fast?" Liu Erzhao muttered softly, and wanted to stand up from the chair, but when he put his legs on his knees, he suddenly felt sore as soon as he pressed his strength. Liu Erzhao's body fell straight to one side.

"Young Master, be careful!" Xue Rengui hurriedly stretched out one hand, hugged Liu Erzhao, and then gently put him back on the chair, bent over and reached out, gently tapped and kneaded Liu Erzhao's legs twice, and said to Liu Erzhao softly: "I have been sitting for too long, and the weather is a little wet and cold now, and the joints and blood vessels on his legs are blocked and stiff."

"If the young master is like this every day, he will sooner or later become sick and will be bad for his health." When Xue Rengui massaged Liu Erzhao, he still whispered. Since he met His Royal Highness the last time he went to the East Palace to meet His Royal Highness, Liu Erzhao has become more and more desperate. He stayed in the study every day and rarely went out again.

"Haha, isn't Brother Xue here? It's okay." Liu Ertiao chuckled vaguely, waved his hand to Liu Yan and ordered: "Xiao Yan, you go to the front and say hello to Butler Liu first, let him wait in the hall for a while, and I'll arrive later."

"Yes, young master!" Liu Yan carefully lowered his head and looked at Liu Ertiao's legs, bowed and responded, and led Li Biao to the front yard.

"Thanks to Brother Xue by his side, otherwise Erzhao would have been unable to walk any further, haha," Liu Erzhao looked at Xue Rengui, who was rubbing his knees seriously, and chuckled softly: "Brother Xue is proficient in martial arts and medical skills. With such great skills, it is no wonder that Brother Xue would leave with confidence. Thinking about it, I had once blamed Brother Xue secretly and left me quietly. Haha, it was just that Brother Xue had always lived by my side so much, which made Brother Xue feel a little wronged."

After getting along with Xue Rengui for a long time, Liu Erzhao also became more and more aware of Xue Rengui's abilities. In terms of martial arts, Xue Li is no worse than his elder brother. When Gongsun Helan and Xue Li were only beaten? Although Xue Li was not as good as Liu Erzhao, she was extremely outstanding in terms of military strategy and long-term strategy. Even the ten Liu Erzhao were not his opponent.

Such a person is born for war. If he is a soldier, he is designated as a soldier king, and if he is a general, he is designated as a famous general. All he lacks is an opportunity to advance.

The eldest brother really found a treasure and Liu Ertiao sighed in his heart more than once. At the same time, he became more and more familiar with Xue Rengui, and never regarded him as a servant. Although, in name, Xue Rengui was still his guard.

"Young Master is so serious!" Xue Rengui stopped the movement in his hand, looked up at Liu Ertiao, and said softly: "It's the same old saying that eating the king's salary is called the king's business. When the eldest young master gave me a bite of food when my poorest man fell, I wouldn't be ungrateful. Before the eldest young master comes back, Xue Li will not threaten the young master's safety."

Xue Rengui's words are still so sonorous and powerful, making people feel relieved.

"With Brother Xue by my side, I feel very at ease." Liu Ertiao tried to move his feet. After just a while, the sore feeling on his legs just now disappeared, okay.

Liu Erzhao stood up, tightened his clothes, and said to Xue Rengui softly: "Okay, Brother Xue, let's go to the front hall to see Butler Wuchen. Calculate the days, I haven't seen him in nearly two months."

As he said that, Liu Ertiao stepped out of the study room, and Xue Rengui followed closely behind.

Since it started to snow at the end of last month, there has been no rain or snow in Chang'an. The sun is bright every day, but it is also sunny and cold weather. As soon as you go out, you exhaled with white breath, and the cold wind was whizzing all over your body.

Liu Ertiao shrank his neck slightly, walked quickly through the yard gate, and walked into the living room in the front yard.

"I've seen the Second Young Master!" Seeing Liu Erzhao and Xue Rengui come in through the hall door, Liu Wuchen bowed and greeted him, bent over and bowed to Liu Erzhao.

"Well, Butler Wuchen has worked hard all the way," Liu Ertiao nodded gently, sat down on his head, looked up at Liu Wuchen, and said softly: "In the past two months, everything at home is still stable?"

"Reply to the Second Young Master," Liu Wuchen stepped forward and replied softly: "Everything is fine at home. Whether it is the 'Liu Coal Floor' or the vegetables in the fields, they are profitable. This is the income and expenditure account book in the past four months. Please check the second Young Master."

As he said that, Liu Wuchen took out a volume of book wrapped in thick cloth from his arms and handed it to Liu Ertiao with his hands.

"No need," Liu Erzhao chuckled and waved his hand, saying, "Button Wuchen just needs to do these things. I can't understand them, and I don't have much time. Let's talk about the purpose of your visit this time?"

As time goes by, Liu Erzhao's words seem to be more stable and smooth when he does things. At least, he has learned how to win people's hearts.

"Yes, young master!" Liu Wuchen looked at Liu Ertiao with relief, with a smile in his eyes, and gently put away the account sheet. Liu Wuchen bent over and said to Liu Ertiao: "The year is approaching, and the eldest young master and the master's wife are not at home. There are some things at home that need the second young master to go home and preside over the presidency. Wuchen came to find the second young master this time to ask the second young master to return to Sanyuan."

The Liu family can now be considered a big family. Things like New Year's sacrifices can no longer be as simple as when they were not yet developed last year.

Not to mention asking the gods to eliminate evil spirits and burning bamboo lights, just the sacrifice of ancestors requires a large number of people to build ancestral halls, shaping statues of ancestors, inviting ancestor tablets, raising incense and praying for blessings. Every item is indispensable. Liu Ertiao, the current chief of the Liu family, is here.

"Well, I understand," Liu Ertiao nodded slightly. When he mentioned this, he couldn't help but feel a little sad. In previous years, his father and elder brother were taking care of these ancestor worship affairs, and he didn't need to interfere. But now, things have changed, and he is the only one.

"You go and ask all the servants in the mansion to clean up and prepare. We will go back in the carriage tomorrow morning." Liu Erzhao stood up, gave Liu Wuchen a soft command, and said, "Prepare some more gifts. I will go to my mentor and General Gongsun to say hello later, and I will pay my respects to them for a long time."

"Well, there is," Liu Ertiao said again: "Prepare more things to send to the Li Mansion. After Li Ji and Commander Li died, the mother and son of the Li family were not having a good life."

"The second young master is kind, Wuchen will go and handle it immediately." Liu Wuchen bent over and responded, bowed to Liu Erbiao, and then turned around and went out.

"Xiaoyan, what time is it now?" Liu Ertiao looked out the door. The faint sun was almost at the center. The time should have arrived. Why hasn't that person come yet?

"Young Master, it's already the hour, and Miss Wang is about to arrive." Liu Yanhan smiled and glanced at their young master. Before he knew it, their young master seemed to be thinking about Miss Caiyi.

"What are you talking nonsense?" Liu Ertiao glared at Liu Yan with some anger, waved his hand at him, and said softly: "Go and go, go to the backyard to pack up, don't mess with me again."

"Yes, young master~!" Liu Yan made another joking face at Liu Erzhao, and then trotted out of the hall door.

"Here," Xue Rengui straightened up and looked out of the hall with a slight smile on his lips. He said softly to Liu Ertiao: "Miss Caiyi is here to deliver food to the young master again."

Since the day when Liu Erzhao met Wang Caiyi in the study of the Shangshu Mansion, Wang Caiyi has developed the habit of coming to Liu's mansion at noon every day, and every time he comes, he will bring some exquisite food to Liu Erzhao.

For one month, two months, and three months, as the days passed day by day, Liu Erzhao was slightly forced to develop the habit of waiting for Wang Caiyi to deliver food. Moreover, whether in his heart or body, he seemed to have become accustomed to the feeling of having Wang Caiyi being by his side.

Xue Rengui looked around and saw that there was no danger. When Miss Wang Caiyi came into the room, he bowed to her slightly, and then automatically left the hall and guarded from afar. Every day, only at this time did Xue Rengui leave Liu Ertiao three steps away.
