“They seem to look different?”

"Both." Seeing Xue Ruitian's expression, Liang Jieque chuckled, "When I came into contact with him, I felt that he was not the same as Lu Yicheng, and in terms of appearance, he was not the same. At that time, because it was really I was so confused that I didn’t pay attention to some details. Now that I think about it carefully, I can’t tell that we are really not a family.”

"Don't rush to conclusions. Why don't you tell us and let us judge how they are different and not a family." Shen Zhonghe looked at Jin Miaomiao, "This gentleman should be very knowledgeable about this." Research, right?”

"I understand a little bit." Jin Miaomiao looked at Liang Jieque, "Aunt Liang, please tell me in detail, and I'll come and hear what's going on."

"Okay, let me talk about the appearance first. This is more intuitive. If you talk about the feeling, you may not be able to feel it. After talking about their appearance, let's talk about their way of getting along. It may be easier to make a judgment, right? "

"Okay." Jin Miaomiao nodded, "But I want to remind you first that appearance cannot be completely used as a criterion for judgment. In fact, this method is not completely accurate theoretically."

"Is that so?" Liang Jieque looked at Jin Miaomiao with some confusion, "But don't we all say that the children in this family look like so and so?"

"That's because you know the people in this family, from ancestors to juniors, so you can say such things. Otherwise, it will be very offensive to others, right?"

"That's true." Liang Jieque nodded, "I only remembered it now. I didn't feel this way at the time. Everyone was busy taking care of the injured, so how could they have any spare time?"

"That's true." Jin Miaomiao smiled and said, "Then tell me, why do you suspect them?"

"It's like this. In my impression, no matter how many children there are in a family, the appearance of the children should be more or less similar to the father and mother, or else they are a combination of father and mother. There are advantages or disadvantages, or both. Or, there are similarities between brothers and sisters, right? It has nothing to do with parents or brothers and sisters, right? wrong?"

"You mean, Lu Yicheng is different from his parents and siblings?"

"Yes!" Liang Jieque nodded, "This family is very strange. Whether it is father, mother, or brothers and sisters, there are some similarities and some differences. But only Lu Yicheng , I don’t know if it’s because he is younger and hasn’t grown up yet. He is probably the most mediocre and unattractive one among their parents. Although it is a bit unkind to say this, it is indeed the case. The important point is that his parents, brothers and sisters all have radiant white skin, but he is different.”

"Black and yellow?"

"I wouldn't say black and yellow, but not that white. When he is alone, it doesn't show that he is not good-looking, but when he is with his family, it shows that he is really ordinary."

"Really?" Xue Ruitian blinked and turned to look at Jin Miaomiao, "Come on, explain, what's going on?"

"It's hard to say about skin color. Some people are indeed like little monkeys when they are young, black and yellow, but when they grow up, they become whiter." Jin Miaomiao smiled, raised his chin towards Merlin, and said , "She was very dark when she was a child. After she turned fifteen, she was like a different person, getting whiter and whiter. Now even if she gets tanned in the summer, she will soon be white again."

"Really?" Liang Jieque turned around and looked at Merlin who was looking at her with a smile, "It's really fair."

"But my sister is different." Merlin waved his hand, "We are sisters, but we are completely different. We were both dark when we were young, but I became white when I grew up, but she is not, and she can't be white no matter what. This is a thorn in her heart.”

"Don't say it. Fortunately, she's not here now. Otherwise, if she heard what we said, she would be so angry that she might even tear down this big tent."

"That's right." Chen Jiu nodded towards Xue Ruitian, "Fortunately, I'm not here, so my big account can be saved."

"Yes." Yes, right? It looks a bit whiter now, right?"

"Hmm..." Jin Miaomiao thought for a while and nodded lightly, "No, right? It still feels the same, but it's true that he looks better than in previous years. In the past few years, I didn't think it was right to say that he was a prince. Xin, I do look like a prince now. Probably because life is getting better and I no longer have to rely on others. Sometimes, the environment can still change a person's appearance. "

"That is to say..." Liang Jieque thought for a while, "Skin color doesn't actually mean anything, right?"

"Yes, because skin color may change. Some people are very white when they are young, but not so white when they grow up. Some people are dark when they are young, but they are very white when they grow up. It is impossible to say. If Lu Yicheng is still alive now, maybe there will be You may not be able to recognize them in front of you." Jin Miaomiao smiled, "As for what you just said about their different appearances, it's not quite sure whether they are a family or not. This also depends on the circumstances. "

"Depends on the situation? How to say?"

"Theoretically speaking, it's the situation you just mentioned. For example, if we have the same father and mother, half-father and half-mother, there will be more or less similarities." Jin Miaomiao took a sip of tea. He said slowly, "But it's not entirely like this. There are also exceptions. And there are actually quite a lot of exceptions, not too few."

"Exception?" Liang Jieque looked at Jin Miaomiao, not quite understanding what she said, "I have never heard of such an exception. What the general means is that the child may look different from his parents? Very different?" "

"Of course!" Jin Miaomiao nodded, "I have seen many children who look completely different from their parents, but they are their parents' biological children. Appearance is only one of the criteria for judging, but it is not absolute. Of course, many people will make big mistakes because of their appearance. For example, if the child doesn’t look like them, they suspect that they are not their biological child.”

"Speaking of this, it is true. Government offices in various places receive many such complaints every year. However, after investigation, most of the wives and children have determined that they have been wrongly accused and are their biological children. Only a few cases are true. There is a problem.”

"Has Mr. Shen ever seen such a case with his own eyes?" "Yes!" Shen Zhonghe nodded towards Jin Miaomiao, "About ten years ago, there was such a case in Jingzhao Mansion. A wealthy family suspected that his eldest son It was not his biological son, but his wife and his former sweetheart, so they directly filed a lawsuit with Jingzhao Mansion, causing uproar in the city. The process was not very clear, after all, it was a family matter, and Jingzhao Mansion did not reveal much, and it was not. A public interrogation will have a final result.”

"What's the result?" Xue Ruitian said curiously, "Is it biological?"

"Of course." Shen Zhonghe nodded, "I heard that the Jingzhao Mansion also invited the imperial doctor from the Imperial Hospital to testify that the rich man and his eldest son were biologically related. However, because of this, the rich man's wife and eldest son The matter was broken with the rich man. Not only was their parent-child relationship determined in court, but the reconciliation between the rich man and his wife was also determined. The eldest son voluntarily left with his mother, even if the rich man knelt on the ground and begged them, it was of no avail. "

"Speaking of which, I seem to have some impression." Xue Ruitian raised his head and thought for a moment, then said, "After the wife got married, she took her son to travel for a while, but when she returned to Xijing City, it was already Ning'an Madam uncle, isn’t she?”

"What the Marquis is talking about is Mrs. Old Ning'an." Shen Zhonghe nodded, "Old Ning'an is actually Madam's sweetheart when she was young. However, because of the disparity in status between the two, Uncle Ning's house will not marry either. The businessman's daughter is the main wife, and the old lady was arrogant when she was young. Although she is the businessman's daughter, she doesn't want to be underestimated. She missed it after going back and forth like this. When they meet again, they should still like each other very much. , and without the arrogance and pressure of youth, they became together naturally. "

"I have met the old lady several times. She is a hero among women, with a dashing and heroic appearance." Xue Ruitian smiled, "I didn't expect that her experience would be so rich and colorful!"

"Yes!" Shen Zhonghe nodded, "However, after that, I realized that it doesn't necessarily mean that they are not biological."

"I understand what you are saying, but I still have a question. If the child is not like his parents, brothers and sisters, who can be more similar?"

"Isn't there a saying that uncle Xiao is my nephew!" Jin Miaomiao smiled at Liang Jieque and said, "Some children are born not like their parents, but like their grandparents, or like other children. Relatives, this is possible, and this situation is not uncommon, Aunt Liang, have you not heard this sentence? "

"I've heard of it, but I've never seen it."

"Then you met today." Jin Miaomiao pointed at herself and then at Jin Jing, "We are brothers and sisters. Do you think we look alike?"

Liang Jieque looked at Jin Jing, then at Jin Miaomiao, studied for a while, and shook her head gently.

"It seems..." She took another look, hesitated, and said, "It doesn't look like it. The young master has a long face, but the girl has a round face. The young master's eyes are slender, but the girl's eyes are apricot-shaped. "They're really different. The shapes of their noses and mouths are not the same." She asked tentatively, "Are they really siblings?"

"Brothers and sisters from the same father and mother." Jin Jing nodded lightly, "It's true."

"Then why..."

"This is what I just said, we are not like each other, nor are we like our parents." Jin Miaomiao glanced at Jin Jing, raised her eyebrows, and said, "My brother perfectly inherited the appearance of our grandfather. , but my mother is more like my maternal grandmother, and I have not inherited anything from my grandfather. In other words, our two brothers and sisters have inherited two completely. Different families, so they don’t look alike.”

"So that's it." Liang Jieque looked at Jin Jing and Jin Miaomiao curiously, "This is quite magical." She looked at Shen Zhonghe and asked curiously, "Why aren't you surprised at all? "

"My two former lieutenants were not only born from the same mother, but also twins. They were completely different. If they didn't say it themselves, no one would know that they were brothers, and they would have thought that they were two completely unrelated people!" Shen Zhonghe looked at Jin Miaomiao, "This kind of situation happens a lot, right?"

"Although there are not too many, they are not uncommon. I have met several pairs of twins like this." Jin Miaomiao looked at Liang Jieque, spread her hands towards her, and said, "You can see from this, We can't conclude that brothers and sisters are not really related by blood because they look different. If you say that, it wouldn't be good, would it? "

"I understand, this is indeed because I have limited knowledge and have never seen such a person." Liang Jieque thought for a while, "But there is still one doubt."

"What's the suspicion?"

"Is it possible that my parents and siblings all have very bright looks, with sculptural bones and deep eyes, but my younger brother has a round face, small eyes, and a small nose? ,Little mouth?"

"This description..." Jin Miaomiao frowned slightly, "I feel like Lu Yicheng is a native of the Central Plains, but his parents, brothers and sisters all look like barbarians?"

"Yes!" Liang Jieque nodded, "That's what I mean. Is it possible?"

"The world is so big, there are all kinds of wonders, but it's not impossible." Jin Miaomiao touched his chin, "I remember my master said that when he was traveling, he encountered a very special village. The people in that village had their ancestors for generations. The Central Plains people have never intermarryed with foreigners, but their appearance is the same as that of the Hu people, and even the color of their eyes is gold or blue. "

"So magical?" Shen Zhonghe thought for a while, "Then there is no way to tell whether there is something wrong with Lu Yicheng's family just from their appearance."

"Hmm!"

"It's really strange to get along with each other." Liang Jieque raised his head, thought for a while, and then said slowly, "I can only say that it is my own feeling. Lu Yicheng is very resistant to their approach."
