The thatched house is more like a memorial hall, and the walls of the house are covered with portrait paintings.

Some of these paintings are on paper, some on silk, and some even on parchment.

Lu Di looked at them one by one.

In the first painting, the brush and ink lines are very rough: a child rides on a middle-aged man, like riding a cow, and there is a line of small characters written on it, only to commemorate his beloved son, Lu Pestle.

"Cows, cows, run, and the baby will graze later......"

"Daddy, today you made a cow for me and lost a tooth, and in the future, Tu Tu will lay a country for you......"

Lu Di recalled the scene after scene, he touched the painting with his hand, back and forth, as if the picture was in front of him, and he could touch it with his hands.

The second picture: It is a handsome middle-aged man lying on a mat, he is holding a book in his hand and reading it carefully, and behind him is a lacquerware, and there is a line of small characters written under the painting, which Ai Kong painted for the king.

"Tu'er, you said this portrait painted by Ai Kong doesn't look like Daddy?"

"No, this painting is like comparing the stone and jade of Nanshan to my father."

The third picture: Under the moon, under a huge pear tree, pear blossoms are in full bloom, a middle-aged man is holding a child in his arms, swinging, and a line of small characters is written underneath.

"Daddy, is the peach closer to us, or is the moon closer to us?"

"Evil ...... This, this? ”

The fourth: banquet in the outer garden, the middle-aged man pulled the bow that did not miss the arrow and was ready to shoot at a palace lady, next to him was a turnip-headed boy, not far away at the banquet, there were six or seven people sitting, some were laughing and laughing, some were drinking alone, and some were frowning...... Written below is a line of small letters, written by Ai Kong for the prince's son Tu and the doctors.

"Daddy, this person is so useless, drive her out of the palace, right?"

Fifth Pair: The head of the dangerous city, the army is lined up, and a man with a sad face looks at the oppressive army outside the city, and there are small characters written below, Ai Kong made it for the king to destroy the leopard.

"Hey, Tu'er, Daddy is the monarch of Qi Country, even if there are more dangers ahead, for the sake of Qi Country, Daddy has to rush forward"

Sixth deputy: Outside the long pavilion, by the ancient road, there is a young man standing next to the man, they take the civil and military to bid farewell to a person, and there are small characters written below, Ai Kong is the prince of the king and the doctors to bid farewell to Gongsun Qiao.

"Daddy, the child thinks that being ungrateful to the great and the virtuous is the greatest betrayal of the country"

"The child thinks ......"

The paintings on the wall are one by one, from the time Lu Di was a child until Lu Di left the Qi country to wander in that year, Qi Jinggong stood on the Linzi city wall and burst into tears.

This is what Lu Di has to do every day since the funeral, that is, to read some paintings and touch them with his hands, but no matter how many days have passed and how many times he has touched these paintings, he can't help but cry at the end of every time.

"Starling!" Suddenly, a girl's voice came.

Lu Di wiped away her tears before turning her head and saying, "It's the ninth sister." ”

The person who came was Zhuang Jiang.

Zhuang Jiang saw Lu Di's red eyes crying, and his heart was also sad: "Starling, these paintings were all collected by me from my father and Master Ai Kongzi, on the day of the Linzi incident, fortunately they were not destroyed, otherwise we would ......"

Saying that, she choked, obviously Xiao Zhuang Jiang couldn't imagine what the "terrible" consequences would be if these things were gone.

Lu Di pondered and then nodded, these most primitive "photos" are the only things that Lu Di can see and think about, if it is gone, it is like connecting a person's love is gone, how terrible it should be.

"I heard that the ninth sister is also good at painting, but I don't know how good your skills are for my brother?" Lu Di took the hand of the ninth sister and walked out of the house, smiled and comforted.

When Xiaozhuang Jiang heard this, his face immediately turned red and he said ashamedly: "Starling, you don't want to make fun of others, what is the painting of the ninth sister in front of you?" ”

Hearing this, Lu Di stretched out his finger and lightly touched her forehead and said, "You! ”

Then he said with a solemn expression: "Ninth sister, do you want to learn character painting, the starling brother knows some ......"

Xiaozhuang Jiang was overjoyed when he heard this.

So a strange scene appeared, in front of Qi Jinggong's grave, a girl was holding a sketchpad to sketch and paint, and another person was a mannequin, and there was a naughty boy with four puppies in front of the grave, and the guards were tired of crying and shouting after their mother.

In the thatched house, Xizi Shi Yiguang leaned against the door and watched this scene, his face was very bad, especially when he saw Zhuang Jiang and Lu Di talking and laughing.

Shi Yiguang was holding the Jade Rabbit in his arms at this time, kneading the ears of the Jade Rabbit with his slender hands, and suddenly turned around and said to Zheng Dan, who was still busy weaving little tiger shoes with a big belly: "Sister, the Ninth Princess will be in time in a few months, right?"

Zheng Dan was lying in the brilliance of being a mother at this time, but he didn't think much about it, nodded and said, "Yes." ”

Then he seemed to consult and then seemed to ask himself: "Second daughter, look, how did I do with these little tiger shoes?" Oops, no, how can this tiger have a beard? ”

"Redo!"

After that, Zheng Dan threw the unsatisfactory tiger shoes in a bamboo basket, picked up the scissors and started to make her new tiger shoes again.

Xizi Shi Yiguang was very dissatisfied when she heard this, she walked up to Zheng Dan and said: "Sister, how many tiger shoes have you made, even if the future son changes a pair a month, then he can wear them for two years, you just can't tell the priority of things." ”

Hearing Xizi's complaint, Zheng Dan raised her head to look at Shi Yiguang carefully, and she wondered: "Second daughter, but what happened?" ”

Shi Yiguang didn't speak, but pulled Zheng Dan to the door, pointed to the tombstone with his finger, and saw Lu Di teaching Zhuang Jiang to paint.

The two talked and laughed from time to time.

Zheng Dan looked at it and didn't feel anything, Xizi Shi Yiguang was angry on the spot: "Sister, there's nothing yet?" It's all taught by hand! ”

Zheng Dan was immediately happy when he heard this, and Shi Yiguang was even more angry when he saw this: "I have been pregnant and stupid for three years!" Sister, what the old grandmother said is really right, you are stupid, stupid! ”

But Zheng Dan still didn't care, Xizi paused angrily and said: "Don't forget, the old Lu family has that tradition!" ”

As soon as these words came out, not only Zheng Dan's face changed, but even Xizi Shi Yiguang herself was startled, she hurriedly blocked her mouth with one hand, as if she said something that should not be said.

At this time, the room was quiet, Zheng Dan took a breath and then looked at Xizi and said, "Second daughter, her ninth sister can learn painting, why can't you learn?" Could it be that the husband is still biased? ”

"As for Ji Lu, Gou Jian once asked her husband to marry her husband and wanted to marry the ninth sister, you and I both know this, after the Wu Yue War, if Gou Jian of Yue can survive, I will tell my husband about it."

When Xizi heard this, he hugged the jade rabbit and smiled, and the country and the city were captivated.

The Wu-Yue War in Zheng Dan's mouth happened when Lü Di was reorganizing the 140,000 troops newly surrendered by Hua Zhou, and as for the fact that Yue was completely crushed by Wu later, and in the end there was only less than a hundred miles of land left near Huiji Mountain.

Regarding this major event in the late Spring and Autumn Period, although Lu Di had expected it, in fact, his heart was still not calm after getting the news.

The whole process is not much different from what is recorded in later documents: the young son of the old Yue King Yunchang was assassinated and died, the old Yue King was sad and died in less than three days after learning the news, the prince of Yue Gou Jian ascended the throne, and the Wu State, which had a feud with the Yue State, learned the news, and under the banner of seeking justice for the young lord of the Yue Wang, the army sent three ways and launched the Wu-Yue War.
