Chapter 174 The test begins
Father Lin looked at the different reactions of his four sons, and his face became more gloomy. "Hmph, don't argue with me. Things like the timing is not right, and fate, those are all excuses! If you really care, can you stay single forever?"
The eldest brother, Lin Yu, quickly comforted him, "Dad, calm down. We know you are doing this for our own good. We will pay more attention in the future."
Lin Yang stiffened his neck and said, "Dad, you can't force us like this. This is not like going to the vegetable market to buy vegetables. How can we just say we have them?"
Lin Feng pondered for a moment and said seriously: "Dad, give us some time, we will adjust our pace of life, don't worry."
Lin Hao muttered, "That's right, a forced melon is not sweet. There's no point in you being so anxious."
Father Lin pointed at them, his fingers trembling a little: "I don't care, this year during the Chinese New Year, one of you must bring your significant other home to me, otherwise, you can't go home for the Chinese New Year!"
Hearing this, the four brothers were all shocked. Lin Yu looked embarrassed and said, "Dad, don't be so absolute."
Lin Yang suddenly became anxious: "Yes, Dad, aren't you making things difficult for us?"
Lin Feng quickly said, "Dad, let's be flexible."
Lin Hao also quickly agreed: "Yes, Dad, the time at the end of the year is too tight! At least..."
It will take three years! Before Lin Hao could finish his last words, he was defeated by his father's threatening eyes.
Father Lin snorted, turned around and left with his wife. These brats didn't find wives when they should, so Xixi couldn't even find someone to chat with, and was immersed in the virtual network all day.
Now we are in such a big trouble, huh, it’s all because of these brats.
The four brothers stood there, looking at each other, feeling a little worried.
"Big brother, second brother, third brother, fourth brother, didn't Dad say that as long as one of you can bring the other partner back, it will be fine? So who of you plans to find a wife first?"
Lin Yuxi, who wanted to watch the fun, spoke up, with a hint of trying to sow discord.
But the effect is also very significant!
The fourth brother, Lin Hao, was the first to withdraw from the battlefield. "Brothers, I'm still young. It's not my turn to take on the important task of marrying and having children, right?"
The eldest, the second and the third looked at the fourth brother who was in his early 24 years old and nodded. Yes, you are just a young boy, not mature at all, there is nothing you can do!
The fourth one among the young boys said that although the goal was achieved, he was not very happy, thank you.
The third brother adjusted his glasses and said, "I need to study, and I have very little personal time. If I really find a partner, it will only make things difficult for him!"
The eldest and the second brother nodded. That’s right, they brothers seldom see each other, let alone talk about girlfriends or wives. If they really want to talk, the third brother will break up in minutes given his condition.
So in the end, only the eldest brother Lin Yu and the second brother Lin Yang are left?
The eldest brother Lin Yu and the second brother Lin Yang looked at each other, and the atmosphere was a little subtle for a while.
Lin Yu coughed lightly and broke the silence: "Second brother, look at this situation..."
Lin Yang frowned, crossed his arms and said, "Brother, in my opinion, one of us must be brave enough to take on this responsibility."
Lin Yu sighed: "But I'm so busy with work that I don't have time to fall in love and start a family."
Lin Yang shrugged helplessly: "It's not easy for me either. There are a lot of business waiting for me to deal with."
The two of them got into a dilemma.
"But big brother and second brother, Dad has already issued an ultimatum!" Lin Yuxi reminded them kindly.
Lin Yu obviously knew this fact. He gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, I'll work hard and try to bring someone home this year."
Seeing that his eldest brother had expressed his opinion, Lin Yang, who was closely watched by several brothers and sisters, had no choice but to quickly express his opinion: "Okay, okay, I will also hurry up and try my best to bring you a second sister-in-law."
Lin Yuxi looked at her two brothers and smiled slyly: "Thank you for your hard work, eldest brother and second brother! I'm waiting to see what kind of sister-in-law you can bring home!"
Lin Yu and Lin Yang looked at each other and saw the helplessness in each other's eyes. They just hoped that the other party would be more powerful and bring a partner back, otherwise they might really be kicked out this year!
The two brothers had no idea that they were carrying each other's hopes. At this moment, they only felt that each other was particularly pleasing to the eye. Sometimes, having more brothers does have its benefits.
……
The next day
Inside the police station, the atmosphere was extremely tense and full of curiosity.
"Let's get started." Captain Officer Wu said seriously.
Several police officers surrounded the woman in ancient costume sitting in the middle - Su Yao. She had a pretty face and looked terrified, but her eyes were firm.
"Miss Su, don't be afraid. We are just doing some tests to confirm your condition." A young police officer whispered to comfort her.
Su Yao nodded slightly and clenched her hands, "I understand."
At this time, Professor Li, an expert in history and culture, walked in wearing traditional costumes.
Officer Wu rushed over and said, "Professor Li, thank you for your hard work."
Professor Li waved his hand and looked at Su Yao, "Let's take a look at the situation first."
Officer Wu turned to Su Yao and said, "Su Yao, this is Professor Li, who is here to help us determine your identity."
Su Yao stood up and saluted, "Hello, Professor Li." Her movements were elegant and dignified, which made everyone feel moved.
Professor Li was slightly stunned, and then said, "Miss, let's get started. First, I'll test your knowledge of ancient etiquette."
Su Yao bit her lip lightly, "Okay."
"In a wealthy family, how should a woman walk when meeting guests?" asked Professor Li.
Su Yao straightened her back, moved her lotus steps lightly, and said as she demonstrated: "You should walk slowly, keep your eyes down, and don't look left or right."
Everyone's eyes lit up, and Professor Li continued to ask: "If it is a banquet in the palace, what are the rules for women to sit down?"
Su Yao answered without hesitation: "You need to sit down in order of status, and your movements should be gentle and graceful." As she spoke, she sat down gently with a graceful posture.
Professor Li looked surprised, looked at Officer Wu, and nodded.
Then, another teacher, Master Wang, who was good at ancient handicrafts, came in.
"Girl, come and try embroidery." Master Wang handed over the embroidery frame and needle and thread.
Su Yao took it and moved her fingers flexibly. After a while, a lifelike flower began to take shape.
"This needlework... this craftsmanship is by no means achieved overnight." Master Wang couldn't help but admire.
Officer Wu stroked his chin, thoughtfully.
At this time, Su Yao breathed a sigh of relief, but she was still worried, wondering if these could prove her identity.
Next was the test of her zither skills. A zither was brought into the interrogation room, and Su Yao brushed her sleeves and sat down slowly. As soon as her fingers touched the strings, melodious music flowed out, as if she was crying and complaining, as if she was telling the confusion and loneliness she had experienced.
Everyone was immersed in the wonderful piano music, and it took a long time for them to come back to their senses until the last note fell.
"This piano skill is not achieved in a day." The music teacher at the side couldn't help but admire.
Su Yao sighed softly: "When I was at home, Qin was my confidant, helping me relieve my boredom."
The final test was poetry. The cultural expert in charge of setting the questions took out a few paintings and asked Su Yao to improvise a poem based on the pictures.
Su Yao stared at the painting, pondered for a moment, then picked up the pen and dipped it in ink, and the beautiful handwriting appeared on the paper:
"Where the spring flowers bloom,
Butterflies dance and bees are busy.
Leaning on the railing alone,
Longing for you is far away. "
