After falsely claiming to be pregnant, the whole court came to claim it

The old butler had never seen such a big battle in his life, and his mood could only be described as being overwhelmed.

However, there is no one in Liu's mansion that is very useful, and there is a bunch of servant girls from the family, who can't help, except running around and yelling.

"Old man, in my opinion, let the general come out and recognize one."

Some good-natured person in the crowd yelled something in a high-pitched voice, and the old butler suddenly came to his senses when he heard this, and called the servants to serve tea and fruit to the untouchable talents at the door, and then ran away Find Liu Linxi.

Liu Linxi was still kneeling in the yard at this moment, the old butler saw it crying and said, "Ancestor, why are you still kneeling? Even if you don't care about your body, you still have to take care of the piece in your stomach." Meat."

"That's all my father has left. Don't let him lose his breath when I get up. It's unlucky." Liu Linxi said.

"If there's something wrong with this piece of meat in your belly, if the child's father gets into trouble, can our Liu family hold it?" The old housekeeper almost knelt on the ground to step on Liu Linxi's feet.

Seeing the old housekeeper's trembling expression, Liu Linxi asked, "Outside...who is it?"

"I don't recognize the ones in the back. The ones standing in the front are Cheng Yuan, the youngest son of the Grand Tutor, Lin Jingze, the young master of Ning'an Hou's family, and Lu Yuzheng, the deputy commander of the Imperial Army..." The old housekeeper said while wrinkling his fingers.

Liu Linxi:! ! !

He lied casually just to save his life, but someone actually came to claim the child, and so many came all at once! ! !

Liu Linxi secretly thought: Could it be that the original owner is a prodigal son in love, and he has incurred so many romantic debts?

He remembered that the original owner had no emotional lines in the original novel. Although the author once wrote that he was the favorite of many pregnant women and men in the capital, he always thought it was just an exaggerated rhetorical technique, and he didn't take it seriously. This turned out to be a true statement!

Liu Linxi touched her stomach quietly, thinking that the original owner is not really pregnant, is she?Pregnancy and childbirth are common for men in the Great Banquet Kingdom. Although the original owner is a general, he didn't say that generals can't get pregnant.But whose child is it?

"Eldest son, you should give me a charter." The old housekeeper said, "Which noble man is the child's father?"

"Well..." Liu Linxi scratched her messy haired head, feeling a little troubled.

After he passed through, he kept remembering the memory of the original owner one after another, but these memory fragments were very fragmented and not in chronological order.As a result, Liu Linxi didn't know what the original owner had experienced during the time he returned to Beijing to report on his duties, who he had contacts with or had an affair with.

But the child's father can't be recognized casually, can he?

If you make a mistake, wouldn't it be embarrassing if the child doesn't look like your father later?

"During the time I returned to Beijing to report on my work, I spent every night in Liuxiang, Huajie Street. I really... can't remember it." Liu Linxi said.

The old housekeeper looked blank: "The Eldest Young Master has never been out of the Liu Mansion, except for going to the palace to report on his duties these days. How can he hang around the Flower Street and Liu Lane?"

Liu Linxi's words were originally intended to test the old housekeeper, and he felt a little puzzled when he heard what the other party said.Since the original owner didn't go out much during this period, where did he get the time to have children with others?Could it be that someone climbed over the wall at night to have a private meeting with him?Or did he find someone else by going over the wall by himself?

There is no clue at all, which is troublesome!

He lied that he was pregnant originally to avoid the ending of Liu Linxi being assassinated in the novel, but he didn't expect to cause such a big trouble.The people mentioned by the old housekeeper just now are all masters who can make half of the capital shake by stomping their feet. No matter how big Liu Linxi's heart is, he knows not to offend easily. It seems that the child's father is really serious.

"There are so many people here all at once, and everyone claims to be the father of the child. There must be some evidence." Liu Linxi said: "Whoever claims to prove it, let them come up with the evidence themselves, otherwise I will deny anyone."

The old butler didn't quite understand what he meant by "advocating proof", but he probably understood the second half of the sentence, which means that these people outside are trying to compete first.That's fine, anyway, whoever Eldest Young Master chooses now will offend others, so it's better to let them offend each other first, so as to avoid the Liu family from taking unnecessary responsibilities.

The talented people have stopped for a while now, sitting in front of Liu's mansion, sipping tea and eating fruits, and some people composing poems and odes for Liu Linxi in public, it's quite interesting.If the capital is full, Mr. Ben and the Tianqiao artists have also moved and gathered in Maza, wanting to see this once-in-a-century grand occasion in the capital.

"I'll come first." A young boy in the crowd stood up, cupped his hands towards the crowd, and said, "That night when the capital put up lanterns, General Liu and I met when they were setting off lanterns by the river. I remember He was wearing a white shirt and standing by the brightly lit river, when I looked back and saw him, I thought it was some exiled immortal who fell into the mortal world..."

The person who spoke was Cheng Yuan, the youngest son of the Taifu, who was only 17 years old this year.Cheng Yuanxiao's father, who has been full of poems and books since he was a child, is a well-known talent in the capital, but his childish face is stuck in a bunch of talents, and he always seems a bit out of place.

"Get to the point." Someone in the crowd laughed and said, "How did the child get here?"

Cheng Yuan blushed, and was about to speak when he was interrupted.

"General Liu was born in the army and has fought with the Northwest Army since he was a child. How can he have such an elegant taste in admiring lanterns? It sounds like it was made up." Another young man stood up, patted Cheng Yuan on the shoulder and said, "Cheng Xian, today's battle This matter is related to the lifelong event of the brother, so don't blame the brother for stealing love."

Those who dare to call the son of the Tai Tuo such a brother, their status will naturally not be inferior.

This person is Ning Anhou's only son, Lin Jingze, a well-known playboy in the capital.

"General Liu and I met when we were visiting flower houses. We drank flower wine together, flirted with each other, exchanged firewood, and then we had a child." Lin Jingze said.

"General Liu is an innocent person, how could he linger in that kind of place? He obviously met me when we were playing polo."

"No, you met me when I went to listen to books under the overpass..."

"We met at Mingyue Tower for dinner..."

Everyone was chattering, everyone said their sincerity and sincerity, as if Liu Linxi had really had an affair with them.Fortunately, everyone is a gentle person. Although it is said that they are competing with each other, they are not really out of style. At least they haven't fought yet.

Royal study.

The great eunuch Su Heng stood with his head down, and beside the desk not far away, one person was flipping through a stack of records on the desk.

The man had slender fingers and distinct joints, and it could be seen that the owner must have grown up in a state of dignity.

"This General Liu is also interesting. He asked someone to set up a case table at the door of the house, and let those sons and brothers talk nonsense. I'm afraid Mr. Ben will be too busy with this." Su Heng said.

"These people have all gone to the Liu Mansion to propose marriage?" the man asked in a cold voice.

"Yes, what you saw is only part of it. The front of Liu's Mansion is still lively right now, and many people haven't gotten their turn to speak." Su Heng said.

The man casually flipped through a few more pages, snorted coldly and said, "Even Lu Yuzheng has gone, so why don't the Imperial Guards use him on duty today?"

"Vice Commander Lu probably exchanged value with someone else." Su Heng replied.

"I don't know, I still have so many talented people who are good at writing Fengyue storybooks, can we hold a venue someday and invite them all to compete?" The man's voice could not distinguish between emotions, Su Heng didn't dare to answer as he listened to it, he only gave a dry laugh along with his smiling face.

Su Heng is really trembling in his heart at this moment. Ever since the news of General Galewind's pregnancy came out of the Willow Mansion in the morning, this master has been sullen. Later, the news that the talented people from the capital gathered in the Liu Manor came to the palace, and this master's expression became even more serious. Worse.I don't know if it's because General Blast Feng stopped going to the battlefield and the Northwest Army lost its strong general, or because the gang of dandies went to the Liu Mansion to propose marriage and lost their dignity in the court.

"Does General Liu have anything to say?" the man asked again.

"General Liu hasn't shown up all this time, probably because... he didn't meet his expectations." Su Heng thought about it.

The man who heard the words was silent for a moment, his face remained calm, but the coldness in his eyes faded a little.

"What is this?" The man asked, looking at the scroll on the case.

Su Heng hurriedly said: "The talented men who go to propose marriage, there are poems and painters on the spot. This is a small portrait of General Liu, but I don't know which son it is from..."

The man opened the scroll, and his eyes fell on the person in the painting. He saw that the person in the painting was wearing a war robe and holding a halberd. Only two strokes of cinnabar were dotted on the left brow bone and on his lips. I couldn't help but feel palpitations at first sight.It's no wonder that all the unmarried talents in the capital rushed to join in the fun, such a person who has been bathed in blood several times without losing the slightest detail, I am afraid that the entire Great Banquet Kingdom will not be able to find a second one.

"Su Heng, prepare the sedan chair." The man said suddenly.

"It's almost evening, you are going to..."

The young man's eyes still fell on the person in the painting, and he said, "Go to the Liu Mansion."

"Yes." Su Heng hurriedly replied, but couldn't help muttering in his heart.

A few days ago, General Liu came to the palace to report on his duties, and he did stay in the imperial study for a long time.If he remembered correctly, after General Liu left that day, the master remained silent for a long time with a sullen face, but he didn't dare to ask more questions than a slave should.

But today this one suddenly said that he was going to Liu's mansion, what kind of excitement is this?
