Lin Dongyang, the general of the Fu State of the Jin State, was a student of the King of Jin when he was young. He once saved the life of the King of Jin, and the friendship between the king and his ministers was irreversible. Now he is in charge of the country's military and is the leader of the generals. He married his wife Li, and the couple lived in love and harmony. Unexpectedly
Unforeseen circumstances brought unexpected events. Mr. Li died of an illness at a young age, leaving behind a son and a daughter. The son was Lin Boru.
Lin Boru was born with supernatural powers, and she was already showing off in martial arts at the age of fourteen. The King of Jin liked her so much that he criticized her in public: "I am the best general of the Jin Kingdom!" Miss Lin is fifteen years old this year, and the Lin family father and son love her like a treasure. Neither of them has yet
Engagement. Anyone with a discerning eye knows that the marriage of their brother and sister must be decided by the King of Jin. Lin Boru did not expect that anyone would dare to have an idea for his sister.
Although the Lin family father and son were military generals, the world had not heard of dirty tricks. It is not difficult to guess what happened today. Someone managed to secretly trace Li's painting of bees, butterflies and peonies on a fan, and then threw the fan at the girl's grandmother.
They were passing by. Miss Lin was young and ignorant, and when she saw that the painting on the fan was similar to her mother's legacy, she became curious. There was no mistress in their family. Whenever Miss Lin had an idea, the servant might not be able to do it.
If you discover it in time, if you are not careful, it will lead to a big mistake.
The Han family had just moved in a few months ago. According to what Han Fei said, the two men who lost the fan were very familiar with the house. The house originally belonged to King Jin and his second brother. This man was let down by Jin because of his dishonesty.
The king was driven out of the country because he had an affair with a general. There was no greater general in the entire Jin State than Lin Dongyang. If the master had plotted against the girl, the two of them would have no shame in going to see their dead mother.
Lin Boru couldn't help but regret it. Back then, his grandfather wanted to choose a aunt to marry him to fill Lin Dongyang's house. It was he who instigated his sister to join forces and mess up, ruining the marriage and causing many problems with the grandfather's family. The girl was getting older and older.
It is not a matter of having a reliable elder to teach you.
Just as he was thinking about it, Jia Meng stretched out his hand and waved it in front of him: "Hey, buddy, what's wrong?"
Lin Boru smiled apologetically: "A little distracted."
Jia Meng didn't ask any more questions and said to Han Fei: "Brother Han, I just sent someone to call my third uncle. You have a Rembrandt here, and my third uncle likes him very much."
Han Fei said: "That's right. It's a coincidence that your sister-in-law also likes it, otherwise I would have decided to send him away."
Jia Meng hurriedly said: "No! What's the fun in getting all the good things in the world into your own hands?"
Han Fei said: "It's just that your family is different. It's not good for good things to be in your own hands, but is it better to be in the hands of others?"
Jia Meng said: "As long as people cherish things, there is nothing wrong with it. In fact, my third uncle is most in favor of sending cultural relics and artworks to museums so that the public can appreciate them."
The three of them chatted for a while, and Jia Cong strolled over by himself. He told Han Fei: "I didn't know what you were doing when you called Feng Ziying away secretly."
Han Fei smiled and said: "They are old friends since they were young. They haven't seen each other for a few years. I think they have a lot to talk about."
Jia Cong snorted, glanced at the painting on the fan, and said "Ouch": "This peony painting is good. It's just that the brushwork is stiff, as if you were following a gourd to draw a scoop."
Lin Boru felt proud when he heard his uncle and nephew praising his mother's paintings one after another, and said: "Prince Jia has a good eye, and he is really following the example of a gourd."
Han Fei smiled and said: "Use the gourd to draw the gourd, and then follow the gourd to draw the gourd."
The uncle and nephew of the Jia family were curious at the same time: "Huh?"
Han Fei said: "First draw the fan according to the painting, and then draw the picture according to the fan."
The uncle and nephew of the Jia family looked at each other and said at the same time: "There's something weird!" Both pairs of eager eyes stared at Han Fei.
Han Fei crossed his hands and said, "What's weird?"
Jia Meng said: "If the painting is good, it is enough to depict the face of the fan. What is the reason for turning the fan into a painting?"
Han Fei waved his hand: "Anyway, there is a reason why I won't tell you two."
The two looked at each other again, and Jia Cong said: "Don't mention it! Who is asking you to know? By the way," he took something out of his arms and threw it to Han Fei, "I wonder who threw it. Is there any?
Will the method be returned to others?"
Han Fei took it in his hand, and it was a rose pendant that was about to be ennobled. Lin Boru was shocked when he saw it: "This belongs to my sister!"
Jia Cong glanced at him: "Don't rely on your superiors! Your sister is a woman. Have you ever seen a woman wearing a horse and becoming a marquis? This is not our federation."
Lin Boru said: "It was originally mine, but she took it after seeing it." Seeing Jia Cong's face full of disbelief, he stumbled and said, "It really belongs to my sister!" Han Fei handed the jade pendant to him for him to look at carefully. Lin Boru said
, "I've been wearing it myself for a while, and I'm very familiar with it."
Han Fei frowned: "Uncle Jia, where did you pick up this thing?"
Jia Cong said: "Just hook it on the branch of the peony flower in the pot outside."
Han Fei thought for a while: "That pot of peony is of this color."
"Well, it's not easy to find." Jia Cong looked at their faces and asked, "What's wrong with you two? You're so weird. I said, General Lin, should you thank me? This thing is worth a lot of money.
.”
Lin Boru hurriedly bowed to the ground: "Thank you, Your Majesty."
Jia Cong nodded: "Well, that's pretty much it. Young people should be polite." Jia Meng glanced at his uncle. Jia Cong sighed, "I'm old, and young people dislike me. I'm going to look at paintings."
I have to leave with my arms behind my back.
Han Fei smiled and said, "You're younger than me, so I called you 'Uncle Jia'. What did I say?" He stepped forward and gave him a ride. Jia Cong took advantage of the situation and stopped leaving.
Jia Meng ignored his uncle and patted Lin Boru on the shoulder: "We feel like old friends at first sight. If you have any difficulties, tell me and I can help you. If it doesn't work, I still have my third uncle."
Lin Boru clutched the jade pendant and looked hesitant; Jia Meng winked at the side and made a gesture of painting. Lin Boru had no time to think about learning painting at the moment, so he shook his head. Han Fei, on the other hand, said: "Jia Cong is the wise man in the world. Brother Lin Xian
If you are not taboo, you can ask him to help you figure it out, and you will be better than others." He paused, leaned close to Lin Boru and whispered, "Brother Lin Xian, I'm sorry. This matter happened in our family, and..." He added
He gestured with two fingers and said, "My father will most likely tell Uncle Jia and ask him to make a guess and analysis."
Lin Boru thought for another long time, gritted his teeth, and stepped forward to bow to Jia Cong: "I am young and have less experience. I have something I would like to ask Prince Jia to help me think about."
Jia Cong glanced at the jade pendant tassel in his hand: "Is it related to your sister?" Lin Boru nodded. "Let me hear it."
Han Fei then told: "Just now, my sister-in-law brought a group of girls and grandmothers to see the portrait that the Fourth Highness painted for my grandmother..."
"Stop!" Jia Cong made a stop gesture. "Why are the girls and grandmothers suddenly interested in the paintings of His Highness the Fourth Prince?"
Han Fei was stunned: "Probably out of curiosity."
Jia Cong said: "After Situ Wei painted your grandmother's portrait, Feng Ziying specifically told me not to spread the matter to the backyard. Where did the girls and grandmothers learn that he painted a portrait?
.”
Han Fei said: "Uncle Feng told my father... what to do?"
Jia Cong said: "What Situ Wei did today seems to be for show."
“What’s the point of putting on a show?”
"Well, this..." Jia Cong patted his head and didn't know what to say, "Even acting... is wrong. Hype? It's also inappropriate. Jia Xiaomeng, you liberal arts student, you can explain it."
Jia Meng curled her lips and said: "Swaggering, pretending to attract attention."
"Yes, that's what it means." Jia Cong said, "Two days ago, he suddenly came to see me and said that he had a girl he liked in school, but the eldest and youngest wives of King Jin were all clamoring to find a wife for him.
Asked me if I could give him an idea. Then I thought about it. Thirty-six Strategies would be better. Wouldn’t it be better if he slipped back to school with oil under his feet? I was planning to find an opportunity to tell him. Who would have thought that he would put on a show today?
.”
Lin Boru was stunned and didn't understand: "Why is he just putting on a show? Since he can draw, what's wrong with wanting to draw for people to see?"
Jia Meng said: "According to his own words, he was so annoyed by being forced into marriage that he took the liberty to go to my third uncle for help. How annoying it is! Shouldn't he keep a low profile? Don't let the ministers notice that he is out there.
Is he a prince who is studying and has no intention of seizing the heir? Even if he happened to pass by without bringing a birthday gift, it would not be too late to send people back home immediately to make preparations. Is it possible for the Han family to argue with him? "
Jia Cong said: "Therefore, Feng Ziying suspects that he has been dragged into the water by one of your highnesses and is preparing to mix it up to seize the heir. Painting is a skill that is not valued by officials, but it can be obtained by taking leisure and art as the main research objects.
Don't underestimate the attention of the noble women. The noble ladies' interest in an unmarried prince can also increase their attention. He really has too little attention. He probably no longer wants to marry the architecture major he likes.
I am a female classmate, but I want to marry a high-status Xiao Jie in the Jin Kingdom." Nai glanced at Lin Boru and said, "Don't be nervous, she's not your sister."
Lin Boru patted the coffee table: "How can it be different? Bao Buqi's portrait was painted for me! My late mother was good at painting, and my sister also loves this."
Jia Cong smiled and said: "He may have the intention to seduce you, but he won't plan on your sister. He wants to seduce someone else."
Lin Boru and Han Feiqi asked: "Who!"
"There may not be a set goal. Let's first find out how the girls and grandmothers think about coming to see the paintings."
Han Fei thought for a while: "It was my fourth sister who came here with me just now."
Jia Meng immediately said: "Han Lu? That girl still owes me sixty skewers."
Jia Cong coughed twice: "I didn't hear anything." The uncle and nephew tacitly clapped their hands.
Han Fei glanced at them and said, "I'm going to find my wife." Then he got up and left.
Jia Meng secretly told Lin Boru: "My mother heard from somewhere that eating kebabs is not good for that, so she strictly forbids me from eating them."
Jia Cong said: "You are such a big man, how can you still resist eating?" The uncle and nephew laughed again.
Not long after, the Han brothers and sisters arrived. Jia Meng waved to Miss Han: "Hello, classmate Han Lu!"
Han Lu said casually: "Hello, Senior Brother Jia Meng, Hello, Third Uncle Jia."
Jia Cong said: "Xiaoluya, did you ask for leave to come back to celebrate your grandmother's birthday?"
"Yeah! I'm so sorry I didn't catch up. I just returned to Taiyuan the day before yesterday. It's too far!" Han Lu said, "Uncle Jia, when will the airship be able to fly to the sky?"
"Starfleet Academy is not under my control."
Han Lu shrugged, and then told how the girls and their grandmothers came to look at the paintings today. When the maid said, "Han Sixiao is as old as His Highness the Fourth Highness," Jia Meng immediately laughed, and Lin Boru breathed a sigh of relief; Han Lu
Lu rolled his eyes at them. Then Han Fei and Lin Boru also added something.
After listening, Jia Cong said: "It can be basically judged that the wife Situ Wei wants is at Xiaoluya's age." Han Lu pursed his lips, Han Fei's face darkened, and Lin Boru relaxed. Jia Cong continued, "
The person who stole Miss Lin's jade pendant and hung it on a peony flower of the same color was in the same group as the two lost men who deliberately left the fan, but they may not have wanted to marry her. It was difficult for General Lin to make the decision. From the girl herself
The success rate is almost zero."
Lin Boru thought: "What else can we do?"
"Then it depends on the consequences of this matter and the impact it may have on your Lin family." Jia Cong held his cheek and thought for a long time, then said, "Little General Lin is already nineteen."
"eighteen."
"How old is your sister?"
"fifteen."
Jia Cong nodded: "According to the customs of Jin people, General Lin can be considered an adult, and Miss Lin is at the age when she needs her mother's guidance the most. In the early years, my father-in-law was afraid that you two brothers and sisters would be angry with your stepmother and have been widowers for more than ten years."
Lin Boru stood up suddenly and shouted: "What?!"
Jia Cong said: "Judge for yourself, who is most likely to be your stepmother? Also, where are your mother's paintings hung? Who could see and copy them into a fan-face?"
Just hearing a "click", Lin Boru crushed the jade pendant in his palm! Jia Meng and Han Lu made a whistle at the same time, but did not actually blow it. Lin Boru gritted his teeth and said: "...I...
…knew!"
Han Fei frowned and said: "Their family has little relationship with our family, so it is unlikely that they are familiar with our family's roads."
"Which one?" Jia Cong asked, "Is there a suspect?"
Han Fei said: "General Lin almost married his sister-in-law to fill a house in his early years."
Jia Cong bared his teeth and said, "If I remember correctly, General Lin's wife... is from the Li family. The mother's family of the first King Jin."
"good."
Jia Cong said: "The daughters of the Li family are good. My senior brother Jarvis's sister-in-law is from the Li family. But the men in their family..." He shook his head, "Does anyone still remember the name Li Qizhi?"
Han Fei said: "I remember. The most outstanding child of the Li family was very famous in Beijing in his early years. Unfortunately, he died early."
Jia Cong smiled and said: "The fact of this is..." He suddenly stopped talking, as if reminiscing. After a long while, he looked at Lin Boru and said, "Let me tell you a story." Then he talked about Li Qizhi's visit many years ago.
Fujian hooked up with several daughters of the prefect Tan Mo, and when they were exposed, he poisoned their entire family, and finally poisoned himself. He sighed at the end, "Just to get the Tan family's iron ore, this method is often used."
Lin Boru was dumbfounded. For a long time, he murmured: "Li Qizhi... is my uncle."
Jia Meng patted his shoulder: "You can tell from your mother's paintings that she is different from her brothers."
Jia Cong said: "They attack women in the backyard, especially ignorant little girls, but what they really want is something else. From this point of view, the Li family is the most suspicious."
Han Fei said: "But how can the Li family be familiar with my courtyard? We are not very familiar with it."
Jia Cong touched his head: "My eldest nephew, your IQ is not as good as your father's."
Lin Boru twitched the corner of his mouth: "The former owner of this house was the prince's direct brother. The Li family is also this person's maternal ancestor."
