Although he knew that the Liu family was not vague, when Qin Huai arrived at Mr. Liu's door, he was still shocked by the scene in front of him. Is there really someone living in such a place?
There is a lush forest in front of the door, and a huge archway stretches across the view. Under the archway is a tightly closed gate. The woods on both sides look endless and it is unknown how big they are.
The address is correct, but isn't this too ostentatious?
You have to know that Qin Huai’s villa in Haicheng in his previous life was just a townhouse. With an area of more than 200 square meters, it was already considered a luxury house. Most people would find it very good to live in a commercial house of 100 square meters, but this large area is just a gate?
Just as I was daydreaming, the door opened and Old Man Liu strode out, saying excitedly, "You're here?"
Then a large group of people came out from behind him, men and women, young and old.
The noble lady from that day was also among them.
Qin Huai said, "Old man, are you going out?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the lady sneered and said, "You made the elders wait for you for more than two hours. You are really arrogant."
Following the sound, I saw that it was the noble lady.
Old Master Liu said unhappily, "Chengzong's wife, if you don't want to come, no one is forcing you to come."
His voice was not high, and the lady hurriedly said: "Father-in-law, that's not what I meant..."
Mr. Liu said, "That's enough. Let's not make fun of the kids. Let's go."
Qin Huai said, "Old man, you don't have to do this. I will come if I say so."
This simple courtesy earned Lao Liu continuous praise, and even the people behind him looked at him and smiled with satisfaction.
Although there was a large group of people, Old Liu only introduced four people. One of them was an old man who was slightly younger than him. He was Old Liu's brother and asked Qin Huai to call him Second Grandpa.
There were also two women and a girl named Yaoqi, who was about eight or nine years old.
The girl was very generous and simply called him brother.
Old Liu said, "This is your second grandfather's granddaughter. Of the younger generation of yours, there are only you and her."
There was an inexplicable feeling of sadness in the words.
Second Grandpa smiled and said, "It really looks like it. Come, since we're meeting for the first time, Second Grandpa will give you a little toy."
As he spoke, he took off a green ring from his finger and handed it to me, saying, "Take it and play with it."
Even Mr. Liu was surprised and said, "Second Brother, you..."
Qin Huai said, "This is too valuable. I can't accept it."
Mr. Liu said, "I got along really well with this kid. I liked him the moment we met. Take him."
"This is a token of my goodwill, so just take it."
Seeing that he had no choice but to take it, Qin Huai had to take it. The woman behind him was the second grandfather's daughter-in-law, who was about fifty years old. As for the noble lady, she was Liu Chengzong's wife Tong Rong.
The family is not very prosperous.
The others seemed to be their family staff.
Qin Huai speculated about their family's origins. Old Liu walked towards the car that looked like a tourist bus in a scenic area and said, "Let's go. Grandpa will take you home."
When we arrived at the doorstep, we had to take a shuttle bus to get in. The Liu family's life seemed to be in a completely different era from that of other people who earn a few dozen yuan a month.
The car had four rows of seats. Old Liu and Qin Huai sat in the first row. Second Master Liu Yuanbai sat in the second row, Tong Rong sat alone in the third row, and the other woman sat in the fourth row. As for the rest of the group, they did not get on the car, but walked quickly on both sides of the car.
The Second Master asked Qin Huai, "Do you smoke?"
"I smoke one occasionally, it's not addictive."
Mr. Liu said, "Then have one."
As soon as he finished speaking, the car stopped and two men in their forties got in. One of them took out a cigarette and put it in Erye's mouth, while the other lit it skillfully. After Erye Liu took a puff, he took the cigarette out of his mouth. Erye Liu exhaled a long puff of smoke before saying, "Go and serve the young master."
The two men put out their cigarettes and placed the butts in a small bag on their bodies. Then they came to Qin Huai and did the same thing again.
Before Qin Huai could react, the cigarette was already in his mouth.
He couldn't help but take a puff, and then the cigarette was taken away from him. After he spit out the cigarette, it was put back into his mouth.
Qin Huai had never seen this before. He took a puff and said hurriedly, "No, I can do it myself."
Old Liu said, "The children have never seen these, so you should just take care of the second child."
The two men responded and then returned to Mr. Liu and lit another cigarette for him.
Under Qin Huaihai's surprised eyes, Liu Erye smoked without moving at all.
Is this how rich people play?
However, Qin Huai felt that the atmosphere here was too suffocating. This was not life, but acting, right?
The shuttle bus arrived at the gate of the mansion. The grandeur of the gate was daunting. Qin Huai couldn't help but wonder what the Liu family did. Why, after so many years of liberation, could they still have such a grand ceremony? Moreover, that Liu Chengzong was able to become a regional special commissioner more than ten years ago and still holds a high position today.
As you walk into the mansion, it seems like a cool breeze is blowing. Although it is magnificent everywhere, there is always a sense of death and decline.
Old Liu and Mr. Liu said they would take him to visit the ancestral hall. Tong Rong opened her mouth to speak, but she sat on the sofa with her head lowered.
Qin Huai said, "I'm an outsider, so I won't go. Mr. Liu, you asked me to come and take a look, and I've taken a look. Should I go back now?"
Mr. Liu said, "Brother, there's no rush. Let's talk about it later. This is the first time the child has come."
After eating a lot in the morning, Qin Huai suddenly felt uncomfortable in his stomach and asked where the toilet was. Immediately, an old woman came out from the crowd and said, "Young Master, I'll take you there."
Qin Huai said, "No, grandma, just tell me where it is and I'll go there myself."
He followed the instructions, opened the door of the toilet and went to the bathroom. Just before he finished, the side door suddenly opened and there was a man inside, holding a wet towel and trying to wipe his butt. Qin Huai was so scared that he walked out with his pants up.
The man closed the door again and the bathroom returned to calm.
Eunuch Qi appeared before him like a ghost and asked, "What's wrong?"
Qin Huai said, "How could there be someone in the toilet? How embarrassing!" Eunuch Qi laughed and said, "He's a jar dog. That's his job. If not in the toilet, where else would he be?"
"Crock Dog?"
Another unfamiliar word.
Eunuch Qi explained, "In the past, when a noble wanted to defecate, they would just cough, and the urn dog would be ready. After the master finished, it would help the master wipe clean with a wet cloth, making sure the master did not feel uncomfortable at all."
"Back then, there were no toilets. We had to choose the best sandalwood to make the barrel, put fine sand inside the barrel, and put a layer of burnt dates on the surface. This was called a palace room..."
Qin Huai was simply amazed, but then Eunuch Qi said, "If it weren't for the new society, in fact, dogs wouldn't be allowed to wipe their owners with cloths in the past."
"What do you use? Toilet paper? Weren't there any such things before?"
Eunuch Qi smiled strangely and said, "Tongue."
Qin Huai felt like he was going to be disgusted.
