Flying Clouds in Another World

Chapter 208 Fufeng is a farmer

Speaking of the illegitimate son of his fourth uncle Liu Shiying, Liu Feiyun didn't know much.

He just heard his mother Chu Bihe say something, roughly meaning:

My fourth uncle was once obsessed with a prostitute. This prostitute was not from the empire, but from Donglin, north of Jinzhou, and was bought by slave traders to Changluo City.

The fourth uncle was so obsessed with the woman that he vowed to marry her alone. In order to redeem her, the fourth uncle stole a large sum of money from home and wanted to reward her with a formal marriage.

This was naturally strongly opposed by the old man and his wife! Grandma even assigned the second uncle to kill the woman.

For the sake of that woman, Fourth Uncle was willing to give up his bright future, eloped with her, and even had a big fight with Second Uncle.

Although the second uncle was stronger than the fourth uncle, the fourth uncle had more experience in the underworld and was eventually tricked and beaten by the second uncle. The second uncle then protected the woman and fled to his home in Anping County, where she gave birth to a son.

Later, my grandmother threatened to commit suicide and took her anger out on my father for shielding my fourth uncle, putting him in a difficult position.

Finally, the fourth uncle decided to take the woman to her hometown Donglin to live in seclusion. However, just when they arrived at the border of Donglin and Jinzhou, they encountered a tribal feud, and the mother and son were separated, and there was no news of them since then.

When he knew these things, he was also amazed at the depth of his fourth uncle's love, and he truly reached the point where he would give up everything else if he loved someone.

However, it was also because of this that my grandmother became seriously ill due to my fourth uncle's anger and passed away a few years later. There was a deep rift between the old man and his father and son, and between my second uncle and his brothers, and they had no contact for many years.

Maybe! After so many years, the old man might have some regrets! If he hadn't pushed his fourth uncle too much, perhaps many things wouldn't have happened later, and he could have had another grandson.

Of course, the old man would never admit it on the surface.

At this moment, the old man looked very happy, with his children and grandchildren all around him.

Before the family dinner officially started, Liu Feiyun took the opportunity to present gifts to the old man and his uncle and aunt. These gifts were carefully selected, which naturally pleased the three of them and made the children below look forward to it.

"Uncle! Uncle! You have prepared gifts for our ancestors! Did you bring any for us?" a little girl who looked quirky at first glance asked in a delicate voice.

"Of course I didn't bring any! It's just that there is a hierarchy of seniority and respect! After I move all the gifts for your parents, the next ones will be yours! I guarantee you'll be satisfied!"

"Really? That's great! Uncle, you have to hurry up and don't keep us waiting anxiously!"

"Don't worry! It will be quick! Si Mingrui, have someone bring those three sets of spiritual armor first!"

"Yes! Son!"

The seven brothers-in-law were civil servants and military officers, officials and civilians, so the corresponding gifts were naturally different. On the contrary, the gifts for the seven sisters were the same: each of them received a set of specially made beauty products, a set of colorful glass ornaments, and a bottle of beauty pills. These things were newly developed products of Huanming Valley and were not available on the market.

In fact, Liu Feiyun gave them these things with the intention of using them to advertise his own trading company.

Since it was an advertisement, and the adults were taking advantage of it, how could the children let it go? Moreover, among his nephews and nieces, there were several who were close to his age. The men were competitive and the women were at the age of competing with each other for beauty.

The four treasures of the study, small knives and swords, gorgeous armor, exquisite clothing, beauty and fragrance enhancement, jade-like skin and fat, and various functional objects, everything is available. When these things were placed on the long table that had not yet been set up with wine and food, the nephews and nieces were immediately dazzled and didn't know which one to choose. Even a few older ones were excited.

Liu Feiyun first personally selected some gifts suitable for infants and young children and gave them out. Then he pointed at the remaining items and said to the dozen or so older children, "There are fifty-one items left, which is exactly three for each person. You can choose them yourselves! Come one by one!"

As soon as Liu Feiyun finished speaking, some children could no longer hold back and started to pick the first one. After the first one, there was the second, the third, and soon some of the children started scrambling for it.

While Liu Feiyun was trying to persuade them, he secretly observed the performance of these children and their parents. He let these children choose their own gifts, of course, for a purpose.

If you want to gain a foothold in Changluo City and develop, you will definitely need a lot of manpower and connections. Second uncle's connections must be used and not wasted! Among them, these cousins ​​and their husbands are the first people you can contact.

However, which of these people can continue to be close friends and which can only maintain a superficial close relationship can only be determined after further observation. And the performance of children will more or less reflect the style of their parents.

In an atmosphere of chaos, quarrels and laughter, the gifts on the table were quickly divided up. Now that the gifts had been distributed, the banquet officially began.

The long table was filled with wine and food, which was very rich.

But it was just sumptuous. As for delicacies, fine wines and delicious food, there were none.

It’s not that Second Aunt Tao is stingy, it’s just that the Fufeng Liu family in Changluo City is too poor!

Of course, the poverty here is relative to the aristocratic class.

Both the old man and the second uncle were not good at business, and they were unwilling to take advantage of others. Their main income was the salary and gifts from the court. As for the Tao family, they were also from a declining noble family, and their family conditions were not as good as the Fufeng Liu family.

Long before Liu Feiyun came to Changluo, he had heard that after the old man retired, he opened up a large piece of land in the mansion to grow grain and vegetables! He also dug a fish pond and raised chickens, ducks, geese and rabbits. The entire Fufeng Earl's Mansion, with nearly 200 people, basically achieved self-sufficiency in grain, vegetables and meat.

Farmer Liu! This nickname of the Fufeng Earl of all generations really deserves the old man! If someone who doesn't know this Fufeng Earl sees him on the street, most people will think he is just an old farmer.

However, since the eldest sister Liu Qianqian came to Changluo, the economic situation in the Fufeng Earl's Mansion has improved to some extent. Because the old man and the second uncle were unwilling to accept the money sent by the old mother Chu Bihe, the eldest sister could only take a roundabout way and help the second aunt Tao to open a few shops to increase income.

This family dinner lasted for more than half an hour, during which Liu Feiyun was once again bombarded with questions from everyone, which made him exhausted and he didn't even have a full meal.

After finally waiting for the banquet to end and everyone dispersed, Liu Feiyun was dragged by her eldest sister to her boudoir.

"What a good little brother you are! You prepared gifts for everyone, but not for me. Tell me! Have you forgotten about me, your dear elder sister?"

The eldest sister Liu Qianqian came up and started to question the culprit.
