Chapter 495 A Family Banquet
When Ling Fu came back, he saw his wife, sister, and brother-in-law, immersed in the world of "Qixuan Mountain" and having a great time. , with a happy smile on his face.
On the other hand, Liu Sheng was concentrating on calculating something, forming a sharp contrast.
Ling Fu was helpless, but he also understood that Du Yue'e had nowhere to release the depression in his heart and could only go through "Qixuan Mountain".
And why not myself? Only by immersing yourself in work can you forget the pain of losing your daughter.
"Uncle, are you back?" Liu Sheng looked up and said calmly.
"Well, I've already booked a reservation at Taibai Restaurant. I'm going to have a meal tonight to take care of your parents." Ling Fu said, "Didn't you say you also want to invite friends? Remember it's 'Ling Xiao' "Don't go to the wrong box."
Liu Sheng nodded and sent the name of the box to several friends.
Later, Du Yue'e, Ling Youlian and Liu Ruhai reluctantly exited "Qixuan Mountain" and took a cloud sedan together to Taibai Tower.
"Brother, I didn't expect that you have changed a lot in these years." Ling Youlian looked at the somewhat old Ling Fu with a hint of emotion in her tone.
Her brother was high-spirited, smart and lively back then, so he was spotted by his uncle who was an official in the capital and made him his stepson.
"I am also old. How can I not change after so many years?" Ling Fu shook his head and smiled bitterly, "Moreover, life in Chang'an seems to be rich and wealthy, but there are so many things to worry about... ..."
Liu Ruhai smiled and chatted: "That's right, my brother-in-law worries a lot about things in his high position, unlike me, who spends every day weighing whether the food prices are affordable enough and wondering what dishes to cook. "< br>
“It’s not bad to think about a life like this.” Unexpectedly, Du Yue’e suddenly spoke in a calm tone.
Ling Fu looked at her in surprise, not expecting Du Yue'e to say such a thing.
"Don't look at me like this. I just realize that in life, there are many things that are much more important than how high you climb in Chang'an..." Du Yue'e shook her head and lowered her head.
Seeing that the atmosphere was a little dull, Ling Youlian glanced at Liu Ruhai, and he immediately changed the subject and talked about some interesting things about Xiaoluyuan, especially the many magical customers he had met since he started working in the restaurant.
“...Well, you don’t know that a few days ago, a blond and blue-eyed guest who didn’t know where he came from insisted on letting me wrap a bunch of haggis in a sheep’s belly, and there was no seasoning. Just the same thing. When I cook it, it smells fishy. The baby is very heavy!"
"What do you think? The guest shed tears while eating, saying that he finally had the taste of home in a foreign country..."
Liu Sheng listened. , I always feel something is wrong.
"All people in the Tang Dynasty have black hair and black eyes. Are they from Mobei?"
Ling Fu nodded and said: "It is true that people from Mobei have blond hair and blue eyes, such as the great witch, and this way of eating is indeed It's a bit like Mobei's style..."
"But how did the Mobei people come to the territory of Tang State?"
Liu Ruhai didn't expect the two of them to be so sharp, so he laughed twice, and Ling Youlian looked at each other.
And this glance happened to fall in the eyes of the uncle and nephew who had many thoughts.
...
Arrived at Taibai Tower, several close friends of Liu Sheng were already waiting inside.
Wang Dongdong, Wen Weilan, Qiao Yu, Cuicui, and Jiang Caibin took the initiative to appear here.
Seeing Liu Sheng and others appearing, everyone except Qiao Yu realized that Liu Sheng’s uncle was actually Ling Fu, Minister of the Ministry of Industry, and they were a little panicked for a moment.
Wen Weilan, in particular, was shocked by this.
Moreover, she knew very well which side Ling Fu was on, and her mood was a little complicated for a moment, and she couldn't help but worry about Liu Sheng.
Although she felt uneasy, she did not show any abnormality during the banquet and just silently observed Ling Fu's behavior.
"Xiaowen, I haven't seen you for a long time." Ling Youlian suddenly spoke to Wen Weilan.
Wen Weilan's face turned red, and he quickly stood up and toasted Ling Youlian: "Auntie, long time no see." "You kid is so polite. Anyway, you have such a good relationship, you treat me like one of your own family." Just fine.”
After hearing what Ling Youlian said, Wen Weilan felt embarrassed, with a blush on his face and mixed feelings in his heart.
"Uncle and aunt, I have a good relationship with Sister Liu Sheng!" Jiang Caibin jumped out and said at this time, looking very much looking forward to being recognized.
Liu Ruhai laughed, patted his shoulder and said: "Good boy, interesting! But my arms are a bit thin. Did you not eat well? Let your uncle cook you a good meal next time, I guarantee you Gain weight!”
Although Jiang Caibin doesn’t want to gain weight and just wants to be a slender boy, it is a great honor to be able to eat the food cooked by Sister Liu Sheng’s father!
I was immediately elated. How could Wen Weilan or Wang Dongdong compare to him!
However, Liu Ruhai and Ling Youlian recognized all of Liu Sheng's remaining close friends in turn, and invited each of them to their home to eat meals cooked by Liu Ruhai himself.
Jiang Caibin was about to cry, but Qiao Yu silently patted his shoulder to express comfort.
This evening, the atmosphere of the family dinner was very good.
Liu Sheng was very happy that his friend finally met his parents.
There are also uncle and aunt Cheap, who are quite close to their parents, and they don’t seem to be as distant as imagined.
Liu Sheng was rarely happy. He drank two more glasses of wine and his face felt warm.
She did not use spiritual energy to relieve her hangover, but allowed herself to be immersed in the drunkenness.
But my face was hot, so I wanted to go out to the terrace and enjoy the cool breeze to dissipate the heat.
As he walked out of the terrace, Liu Sheng saw a dark figure standing in the corner.
Ling Yuke.
She stood alone in a dark corner, her figure petite and lonely.
"Do you...want to go in and take a look?" Liu Sheng asked cautiously.
"No, I will scare everyone to death if I go in." Ling Yuke shook his head, a wry smile appearing on his face that was completely covered with patterns.
This is the truth.
Now that Ling Yuke is completely dead, she is like a free particle in time and space, and may appear at any time and anywhere in her life path.
In fact, Liu Sheng had accidentally seen her several times, but she only let Liu Sheng see her, and she didn't see anyone else.
Especially her parents.
"Aunt and uncle, they look very nice."
Ling Yuke looked at the lively scene inside and couldn't help but look envious.
"No wonder you can be so complacent and never be affected by... some bad words."
Ling Yuke remembered that she had made fun of Liu Sheng and said a lot of unpleasant things in Taibai Building at that time, but now it seemed that Liu Sheng had never taken it to heart.
Now that I think about it, I feel a little ashamed.
"Actually, uncle and aunt..." Liu Sheng said and fell silent again.
Forget it, like a fish who knows whether his drinking water is warm or cold, he doesn’t need an outsider like her to persuade him.
I could only silently pat Ling Yuke on the head.
Everything is left unsaid.
Liu Sheng turned around and returned to the box, leaving Ling Yuke alone looking inside. The warm light fell on his face, flickering, and then fell into the empty darkness.
