Liu Ke could feel that his father had painted it with a happy heart, each of which was brightly colored and lively, but the painting in front of him had no color.

The picture is bleak, there is no one, just a plum forest with fallen leaves, and there is a small mound in the plum forest.

Liu Ke's eyes looked at this Merlin, with a hint of familiarity, as if he had seen it there, and a picture that had appeared once flashed in his mind.

At that moment, her eyes fell on the three almost messy handwriting at the bottom of the picture - "Sacrifice of the Dead Wife".

Her father was painting this picture when her mother had died.

Could her mother's death have anything to do with this Merlin?

But there is no such plum forest in Liujiadongfu?

Just when Liu Ke was wondering, the door of the study was pushed open.

Liu Ming walked in from outside.

He saw that Liu Ke was flipping through his painting scroll, the expression on his face became a little solemn, and said, "Ke'er, do you have something to do with me?" ”

Liu Ke closed the scroll in his hand, slowly paced to Liu Ming, and opened the door and asked, "Father, I heard that my uncle is going to send me to the palace, I don't know if this matter is true or not?" ”

Liu Ming knew that sooner or later it would reach Liu Ke's ears, and nodded silently.

Seeing this, Liu Ke was anxious, and asked quickly, "Does my father also agree to this matter?" ”

Seeing Liu Ke's expression, Liu Ming hurriedly comforted: "Don't worry, father won't send you to the palace," he said and patted Liu Ke's back gently.

Liu Ke felt a little relieved, but she knew Liu Jialu's status and prestige in the Liu family. If he insists on doing so, even if Liu Ming disagrees, he can't rebel.

"Grandfather knows about it, right? What did grandfather say? "Liu Jiafu has always valued Liu Ke very much, among the juniors in the family, only Liu Ke can win Liu Jiafu's favor, and Liu Jiafu is the elder of the Liu family, if he also objects, then it will be difficult for Liu Jialu to send Liu Ke to the palace, so Liu Ke is more concerned about what Liu Jiafu thinks about this matter.

Liu Ming listened to this. I couldn't help but smile slightly: "Your grandfather doesn't agree either." You can rest assured, your grandfather still likes Yanwangfu more. At this point he said no more.

Liu Ke's face turned red and he didn't ask anymore.

Regarding the album, Liu Ke didn't know how to talk to Liu Ming. opened his mouth. In the end, there was still no opening.

"Feng'er seems to be closer to you. If you have time, visit him often. When worshipping the ancestors just now, Liu Ming deliberately looked for Liu Feng's figure, but he was disappointed. He didn't see Liu Feng.

It's not that he doesn't know the estrangement between Liu Feng and the Liu family over the years, since he came back from the previous year, he knows that Liu Feng and Liu Ke are relatively close, at this time, Liu Ke is in front, and he can't help but talk about Liu Feng.

Liu Ke didn't know why, wondered why Liu Ming suddenly talked about Liu Feng, raised his head to look at his father, and said, "Yes, father." ”

After saying this, she couldn't help but ask: "Why is my brother so estranged from the people in the family, and does my father know the reason?" ”

In the past, his grandmother Wang and grandfather Liu Jiafu had sued Liu Ke, and the reason why Liu Feng was like this was because Liu Feng wanted to abandon literature and martial arts, and the family did not agree, so he had an estrangement from his family in his heart, but now she doesn't believe in this statement more and more.

She felt that Liu Feng would never alienate the people of the Liu family just because of this incident, there must be other reasons.

Today, Liu Ming mentioned Liu Feng, so she tried to ask.

After Liu Ming listened to Liu Ke's words, his face was suddenly gloomy, and he sat down on the chair behind the bookcase, and was stunned for a long time before muttering: "Feng'er is a smart child, he has been unknown all these years, but he has become increasingly estranged from me and the people in the family, he must have known what happened back then, he hated me as a father." ”

Liu Ke didn't hear what Liu Ming said clearly, she walked a few steps forward to Liu Ming, and asked softly, "Father, what's wrong with you?" ”

After she said this, she found that Liu Ming's eyes were red, and tears were already full of tears in her eyes.

Liu Ming heard Liu Ke's call, sniffed lightly, wiped away the tears in his eyes, and reluctantly said, "Ke'er, father is tired, you can go back." ”

Seeing this, Liu Ke knew that there must be an internal reason in it, but it was not suitable to ask Liu Ming again at this time, so he said softly: "Yes, father, take a good rest, Ke'er will retire first." ”

After Liu Ke left Liu Ming's study, the doubts in her heart became even worse, but she knew that it was impossible to know the reason from Liu Ming's mouth.

This incident has been haunting her for a long time, and it has troubled her a lot.

As she walked, she thought of a way.

Just as she was walking with her head down, Ning Hong, the little girl in Xiuzhu Garden, ran towards her.

"Miss, Miss, the fifth young master of Xifu has come to look for you, I haven't seen you since I arrived in Xiuzhuyuan, I'm in a hurry, let the slave come out to find it." Ning Hong said breathlessly.

When Liu Ke heard that it was Liu Kun coming, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise, and he said with a smile: "Okay, I know, isn't this going back, you take two steps and hurry up to sue him, don't let him worry." ”

Ning Hong said "yes" crisply, then turned around and ran.

Liu Ke also quickened his pace and walked towards Xiuzhuyuan.

Before she arrived at the gate of the courtyard, she saw Liu Kun running out of the gate of the courtyard from a distance.

"Sister Ake, where did you go, I have 100,000 urgent things to tell you."

Liu Ke couldn't help but laugh and said, "You little hairy boy, what can you be so anxious about." ”

Liu Kun stepped forward and pulled Liu Ke without regard and ran towards Xiuzhu Garden, saying as he walked: "You don't look down on me, and when I tell you, you will know that I am not a child." ”

After entering the courtyard, Liu Kun said to Yuye and Liu Qing, who were following Liu Ke: "You are all waiting outside, I and my sister have something important to say." ”

After Yuye and Liu Qing heard this, they couldn't help but look at Liu Ke.

Liu Ke smiled, "You can go and do something else, and if you need to serve me, I will call you." ”

When they heard this, they went to the wing.

Liu Kun pulled Liu Ke into the room, closed the doors inside and outside, pressed Liu Ke on the seat, and said: "Grandfather thinks you are a talented person, and he has made up his mind to send you to the palace, you listen to me, there is an old saying: the most ruthless emperor's family, not only that, do you think that such a woman in the harem guards the emperor as a man, and the emperor is also in charge of every day, what do they do every day when they are idle?" In addition to intrigue, it is a battle between the open and the dark, you remember my words, whether you win or lose in the palace in the palace, it is the same! Therefore, the palace is a place that must not be entered. ”

At the beginning, Liu Ke still wanted to laugh at Liu Kun's little hairy boy and talk about adults, but after listening to it, he felt that although Liu Kun's words were rough, the truth was correct, and every sentence hit the nail on the head.

Liu Kun saw that his words calmed Liu Ke, his face was quite proud, and he didn't wait for Liu Ke to speak, and then said: "Actually, there are many ways to enter the palace, do you want to listen to it?" ”

Liu Ke put away his previous tone towards Liu Kun, and said in a completely adult tone: "You might as well talk about it." ”

Seeing Liu Ke looking at him with a scrutinizing face, Liu Kun was a little uncomfortable, and said with a red face: "Don't look at me like this." ”

Liu Ke retracted his gaze, bowed his head and said, "Say it, I'll listen to you." ”

Liu Kun said with a smile: "Marriage is the best way, but it may not be a good thing for you, and then there is a disease, and it is best to get sick after entering Beijing, and then you can tell your grandfather that the water and soil are not suitable, and the emperor will not want a sick woman." ”

Liu Ke rolled his eyes upwards and said, "I thought it was some clever way, I thought of this a long time ago." ”

Liu Kun's chubby little face was a little unconvinced, and he pursed his lips and said, "I haven't finished talking yet, I have a better way." ”

Liu Ke said indifferently: "Let's hear it." ”

"The way that it will not damage your reputation and have no impact on you in the future is to find out the emperor's birthday, and then find out where you and the emperor are in conflict, even if there is a little bit of discord, as long as you publicize this matter as widely as possible, it is best to reach the emperor's ears, then you don't have to enter the palace, and you won't have anything to do with the royal family."

After Liu Kun finished speaking, he raised his head and looked at Liu Ke with a smug face, "How about this method?" ”

"It's good, but what if I match the emperor's eight characters? Isn't that my own trouble? Liu Ke asked instead.

Liu Kun snorted proudly, "You don't want this kind of thing to be said by others, when the time comes, spend a few dollars to invite a few Taoist monks, according to our intentions in the public to say this, the emperor will definitely not want you, he has a woman like you and a half, and he will definitely not take risks because of this." ”

Liu Ke stared at Liu Kun for a long time, and said, "You know a lot of things, this kind of thing can't be learned in books, and people in the family can't teach you this-"

She said as she walked towards Liu Kun.

Liu Kun shouted in his heart, why did he always forget that the woman in front of him was not an ordinary woman.

Liu Kun took his small fist and lightly hammered it on his head and said, "That, it's not early, my mother called me home for dinner, I'm leaving, I don't need to send it." ”

As he spoke, he took a step and ran out, but he didn't take two steps before Liu Ke grabbed him from behind.

"Stop, you can't avoid it this time." Liu Ke grabbed Liu Kun's clothes and lifted him back with a force in his hand, "Tell me the truth, how do you know this?" ”

Liu Kun knew that he couldn't escape, but he was afraid of scaring Liu Ke, so he made up nonsense: "Sister Ake, do you believe that I met the immortals, it was the immortals who taught me." ”

"The gods will teach you how to deal with the emperor's selection of women, who are you going to be?" Liu Ke naturally wouldn't believe Liu Kun's words.

Seeing that Liu Ke didn't believe it, Liu Kun said angrily: "Okay, but if I tell the truth, then Sister Ake will also answer me a question, don't lie, tell the truth, how about it?" (To be continued......)
