Old things of the Republic of China
The previous experience, as clearly as if it had just happened, jumped into my mind.
The background of the painting is a golden maple forest in late autumn, and a small house looming.
The man and woman sitting on the bench at the front, the man in the blue coat is handsome, and the woman in the white gauze skirt is beautiful and delicious, leaning on the man's shoulder......
I took a few steps back and looked at the painting, and the affairs of the Republic of China suddenly appeared in front of me, and the words began to hover in my ears again and again like an echo.
'Wen Yue, I will definitely come back, and I will marry you when I come back'
......
It took me a long time to come back to my senses, but I thought of one thing like a bolt from the blue—
The day before, Li Zhen told me about the past of the Situ family and the origin of the cheongsam.
Situ Jia, a young master of a big family in Shanghai, a woman who is engaged, and a painting ......
The Li family, surnamed Li!
If all of this can be connected, the guesses are true, and the answer is about to come out!
Li Han ......
Li Han didn't die when I left!
Then, I began to panic, and then looked at the beautiful woman in the painting, and shook my head again and again, no, it was not me who was missing, Shen Yu just made me the shadow of Wen Yue, Wen Yue does exist.
I kept convincing myself that Li Han must have met the real Wen Yue later. Definitely!
......
Everything portends something, and the source of everything is Shen Yu, he must know something.
Before I had time to think about it, there was a knock at the door downstairs, and I walked out quickly and closed the study door and went downstairs.
As soon as she opened the door, she was a very cute girl, "Sister Jin'er, my cousin asked me to call you for lunch" She had long brown curly hair and was slim.
The relationship between the members of this clan is complicated, and I don't care which cousin she says, so I smile and say, "Okay, let's go."
Along the way, the girl introduced herself, it turned out that she was from the third uncle's family, named Situ Ruixin, who had always lived in this small town and had just gone to college......
I was absent-minded, with a few words to respond, only by the way to observe the surrounding terrain, Situ old mansion is really like a labyrinth, people can't help but tremble, always feel that you can't go out when you come in.
Looking at it in his eyes, he thought in his heart, what does the painting in Yuxuan's study mean?
How could something from the Li family appear in the Situ family?
Even if Li Han didn't die and married Miss Situ after he came back, there is no reason why this painting would be left in the old house of the Situ family!
What's the connection to all of this?
——————————————
After turning around and walking through a few alleys and a few corridors, I finally arrived at a courtyard, and after entering the door, I saw that there were several tables inside, and most of the people were already seated, I naturally didn't know any of them, but fortunately Situ Jin didn't know either.
Many people looked at me, after all, Situ Jin is the next patriarch of the Situ family, and the attention is naturally high, looking around, Situ Yun also happened to come in, pulled me up and said as he walked, "Let's go to the inner room, the elders are inside."
The back room is a large private room, and the elders I have seen in the lobby before are there, and I actually saw Luo Fei, who is sitting next to Situ Xue, and Situ Xing, and then the uncles and aunts of the family, but there is one, I have not seen it before.
It was a man, very clean-looking, not much older than me, sitting next to Situ Xing.
Situ Yun has sat down, I sat on the only remaining seat, waiting for everyone to arrive, serving the dishes, all of them are delicacies, the table is still quiet, everyone is eating, I glanced at everyone one by one when I picked up the dishes, all of them looked calm, there was nothing abnormal.
After lunch, everyone dispersed, and as soon as I stepped out of the courtyard, a man stopped me
I turned around, and it turned out to be the man I had never met, and I couldn't help but wonder in my heart, where did this person come from? Mu Fan hadn't introduced him to me before.
He had walked up to me and looked at me, "Why are you looking at me like that? Could it be that you don't remember me?"
I was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly smiled, "How come?"
The man looked around, and there were only the two of us left, and he said solemnly, "Okay, then tell me, who am I?"
When he asked, I was shocked, who was he? Do you know that I am not Situ Jin? Or is he the one who has been invaded by the black qi?
I was quick to react in my mind about how to deal with it, and I kept complaining that Mu Fan didn't tell me everyone Situ Jin knew, and he was staring at me now, as if he had seen through me.
I didn't know how to answer, I panicked, my heart was pounding, even my ears began to heat up, I began to feel at a loss, and I even wanted to faint directly.
Although I kept my composure, my eyes were evasive, and it was not a way to be so stiff.
I was just about to look up and answer, but he smiled lightly, "It seems that you have almost forgotten me, but I will let you remember it slowly!"
Then, he leaned close to my face and blew slowly at the base of my ear.
I hurriedly retreated away from him, his demeanor was so frivolous, and he had something to do with the Situ family, in addition to his own family, he was a respected person in the clan, so who was he?
"Okay, I won't tease you, what about that Cheng Yan, why didn't you see him coming?"
The man was relieved to see that I had not answered any more questions and had not asked any more questions.
"He's on business, I'll come back in a few days," I replied, pondering what excuse I could make to get away from the man as soon as possible.
"What's the matter, what can he do" The man smiled contemptuously, presumably looking down on Cheng Yan.
"By the way, the priest's clothes are still at the third aunt's place tonight, I have to go and get them back, go first" I found a reason to immediately raise my feet.
"I'm just going back, let's go together" The man followed again, walking side by side with me.
If it is from this family, does this mean that it is the son of Situ Kongyuan?
In the few days he stayed at Situ's house, Situ Kongcheng had no children, he loved his wife deeply, but he was jealous, he died of illness after a few months of marriage, and he did not marry again, and Situ Kongyuan did have a son, who has been studying abroad and has not returned home for more than ten years, could it be that this person is the son of the neglected third uncle?
"What are you thinking?" he began, breaking the silence.
"I didn't think about anything, but I was a little nervous about the priesthood tonight," I made up nonsense without even blinking my eyes.
"Hmph, a broken ritual is going to make such a big move, be careful at night"
I wondered, this is not like the Situ family said it, but it is also hindered by my current status and nodded "Okay, thank you for the reminder."
After that, he didn't have a word with me, although I wondered, but I was also a little more sure that the one who could disdain the Situ family so much was probably the son of the third uncle who had not lived in the Situ family for a long time.
When we arrived at Situ Kongyuan's residence, Li Zhen saw us coming and said with a smile, "When I was a child, I knew that the two of you were very close, and more than ten years have passed, goodbye is still a kiss, Jin'er, you used to talk about your cousin, but now he is finally back."
Sure enough, it verified my conjecture, but before I could speak, the person next to me said coldly and unhappily, "It's a pity that they didn't recognize me at all."
Li Zhen still walked in front of us with a smile, "No wonder, it's been nearly twenty years, it's changed too much, it's normal not to recognize it, Jin'er, you talk to Hao'er first, I'll bring you the clothes"
After saying that, she went upstairs, this house is very modern, not as antique as my Tingyuxuan.
And this cousin who suddenly appeared out of nowhere walked to the sofa and sat down, but he still stared at me, and finally, I had to sit down, "Why are you looking at me like this?"
"Don't you really recognize me at all", but he moved closer to me with a strange look in his eyes.
I smiled embarrassedly, "I haven't seen you for so many years, I can't recognize it for a while, and I ask my brother to forgive me."
"You're really ......" He frowned and was about to continue, but Li Zhen had already come down from the upper floor, holding the wooden box in his hand.
And I didn't want to entangle with this cousin for a long time, so I hurriedly stood up and took the box in front of Li Zhen, "Third aunt, then I'll go."
"Okay" Li Zhen answered, and I walked out of the house quickly, and when I was far away, I sighed heavily.
I always thought the man was weird, and the tone of his voice to me was weird, but I couldn't think of what was weird for a while......
