Lin Jingzhi asked Lin Shulun and Lin Shiyue to step forward and said, "Go and pay your respects quickly."
Lin Shulun and his sister did not dare to neglect and hurried forward to salute: "General Yuchi."
"Okay, okay." General Yuchi looked at the Lin brothers and sisters as if they were his own son-in-law and daughter-in-law. The more he looked, the more he liked them.
He looked at Lin Shulun and Lin Shiyue lovingly: "Hahaha, you are indeed taught by the Right Prime Minister. Shulun is gentle and elegant, and Shiyue is dignified and generous. Right Prime Minister, you are really amazing. I think we should not choose the crown prince, just choose your Shiyue." The old general seemed to be speaking his mind, but he was actually intimidating the officials around him. Forget about the queen!
After hearing this, Lin Shiyue couldn't help but blush. She had never seen the crown prince Duanmu Qingchen, but she had always heard of him. Because her father was the crown prince's tutor, he would occasionally mention him at home, especially the article "On Human Nature" written by Duanmu Qingchen. Her father read it again and again, as if it was a warning to the world, and said that the Qian Dynasty was another wise ruler. Although in the palace, Lin Jingzhi never showed any signs of it.
Lin Shiyue had also read the article "On Human Nature" and was surprised by the prince's concern for the people and his respect for women. The thorough analysis of human nature made her feel deeply touched and she would never forget it. The article "On Human Nature" made Lin Shiyue respect and admire the plain-faced Duanmu Qingchen.
"You're joking, old general." Lin Jingzhi smiled humbly, "I'm reluctant to let Shiyue enter the palace." He was telling the truth.
"That's even better!" General Yuchi slapped Lin Jingzhi on the shoulder. General Yuchi's rough big palm was just ordinary force, but it felt like a brick hitting him, making Lin Jingzhi's shoulder numb.
Old General Yuchi began to wink at Lin Jingzhi: "Look, I have many children and grandchildren, so what? You can pick any one you want. I have decided to marry you as my in-law, hahahaha—" Old General Yuchi's hearty laughter was deafening, as if his home was a vegetable market, and the right prime minister could choose vegetables and radishes at will.
Lin Shulun and Lin Shiyue, who were listening at the side, were already blushing, and dared not look at the children of the Yuchi family. It was really embarrassing. However, the children of the Yuchi family seemed to have gotten used to their grandfather promoting them everywhere, and just thought it was a joke, smiled at each other, and did not take it seriously.
Lin Jingzhi lowered his eyes and smiled faintly. He had really thought about this. General Yuchi's character is needless to say, and his family style is even more strict. The children of the Yuchi family must be upright and loyal pillars of the country!
General Yuchi has been thinking about this for a long time. The children of both sides have never met each other before, and it would be a bit abrupt to bring it up. But today, the children have all met each other. If they are attracted to each other, why not strike while the iron is hot
General Yuchi immediately grabbed Lin Jingzhi's wrist and said, "Come on, let's talk while we walk."
Officials on both sides gave way when they saw this. The power in the court was clearly divided today.
Old General Yuchi turned around and gave his children a look, indicating that they should take good care of the Lin brothers and sisters. There were many people here today, and there were only two Lin brothers and sisters, while they were a group, so they should take the responsibility of protecting the children of the Right Prime Minister.
Immediately, Yuchi Jingbei, who was the captain of today's "blind date" team, received the signal and nodded to Yuchi Jingbei.
Yuchi Jingbei turned around with relief, pulled Lin Jingzhi up and walked away while talking.
Lin Shulun, Lin Shiyue and Lin Jingzhi were generally quiet and a little awkward standing there. Coincidentally, the major generals of the Yuchi family were all cheerful and lively.
Yuchi Jingbei took the initiative to step forward on behalf of all the blind date members of the Yuchi family. Although he was already a major general, he was still a little shy and did not dare to look at Lin Shiyue, thinking that it would be a bit frivolous. So, he only looked at Lin Shulun: "Brother Shulun, let's go up together."
Lin Shulun seemed to be quiet, but he was actually calm and reserved, and spoke little. He immediately bowed to Yuchi Jingbei and said, "It is better to obey than to be respectful."
"Hahaha - Brother Shulun is indeed a scholar, we are all brothers, don't be so polite." Yuchi Jingbei said with a red face. In today's team, he is the oldest, but in terms of age, he is not the oldest. Among the nephews behind him, there are still a few who are older than him!
Actually, he felt uncomfortable in his heart. Although everyone was of the same age, he was called uncle. To outsiders, it always sounded a lot older and made him sound old. Girls didn't want to marry him because if they married him, they would become aunts or even grandmothers.
"Puchi, Uncle Jingbei, if the sister of the Lin family marries you, we should all call her aunt." Sure enough, the girls behind him started making fun of him.
Yuchi Jingbei's face turned red immediately!
Lin Shiyue, who was also part of the joke, also blushed and quickly lowered her head, hiding beside her brother.
Yuchi Jingbei turned his head away angrily: "Stop making noise! You are the only one who talks too much. It's okay to make fun of me, but don't make fun of others..." Yuchi Jingbei was so embarrassed that he lost his confidence to speak, "It was a joke of Miss Lin, brother Shulun, please forgive me..." Yuchi Jingbei turned back embarrassedly and apologized to Lin Shulun, "The girls in our Yuchi family are disrespectful and always make jokes..." Yuchi Jingbei's face turned red. As the elder of the girls behind him, he couldn't control them.
Lin Shulun smiled faintly and didn't care: "Brother Yuchi, you worry too much. The girls are very lively and cute." After Lin Shulun said that, he looked at Lin Shiyue and asked softly: "Do you care?"
Lin Shiyue blushed and shook her head, but smiled and said softly, "My brother and I are the only ones at home, and today... it feels very lively."
Lin Shulun was relieved because his sister didn't care and was happy. He told her with a look in his eyes: "There will be more and more people later. We can go with the Yuchi family. First, they have a girl. Second, they are all military generals. It will be safe for you to follow them. Stay away from other young masters of noble families. Many of them are playboys."
"Yes." Lin Shiyue was well-behaved and sensible. She listened carefully to what her father and brother said.
Lin Shulun looked back at Yuchi Jingbei and said, "Brother Yuchi, we will go together later so that we can take care of each other. My sister has also been taken care of by the girls of the Yuchi family." Lin Shulun bowed to the girls behind him.
Mo Ting, the girls from the Yuchi family had also practiced martial arts since childhood, but when they saw the gentle and elegant Lin Shulun being humble and polite to them, they blushed and their hearts beat fast, and they all returned the greetings.
"Don't worry, Brother Lin. We will definitely protect Sister Shiyue. If any pervert dares to get close to us, we will beat him to a pulp!" The girls clenched their fists. Their heroic expressions did not match the beautiful and elegant skirts they were wearing.
Yuchi Jingbei seemed to have found an opportunity and immediately teased: "Hey, hey, hey! Look at how rude you are! Don't scare your brother Shulun. How can brother Shulun dare to like you if you are like this? Right? Brother Shulun?"
Lin Shulun's fair face immediately turned red. He had been calm till now and he didn't dare to look at those heroic girls any more.
Lin Shiyue beside him also laughed secretly. (To be continued)
