Chapter 153 Lan Nianyun's Ancestor
Nan Sichen hugged Lan Nianyun, walked across the pier, walked up the islands and reefs, and walked into the castle.
They walked through the magnificent rectangular hall, through the arc-shaped granite porch, and came to a large study.
Only then did Nan Sichen put Lan Nianyun down.
He pressed the switch on the wall, and the diamond-shaped crystal light hanging on the roof flowed and poured out, illuminating the oil paintings on the four walls of the room.
Lan Nianyun's eyes were bright, and she looked around and soon understood.
She smiled lightly and raised her eyes to ask Nan Sichen, "These portraits are all counts of the Garomi family from all generations."
"Well," Nan Sichen pulled her hand and asked softly, "Cindy, guess which one is my grandfather."
Without any hesitation, Lan Nianyun pointed to one of them, "The painting is your grandfather!"
Nan Sichen met her clear eyes and asked with a smile: "How can I guess it right?"
"Because, you have blue eyes exactly the same as your grandfather!" Lan Nianyun's tone was very confident.
Not only are the shape and color of the eyes exactly the same, but the calm and noble demeanor that reveals between the eyebrows is exactly the same.
Nan Sichen looks very much like his grandfather Charles.
"Ha," Nan Sichen chuckled with satisfaction, brought her to the portraits and began to introduce, "Our Garromi family was the title of Count in the era of Louis XIII. In the past 380 years, my grandfather Charles is the twelfth hereditary count of the Garromi family."
"oh!"
Lan Nianyun nodded, and curious eyes swept across the twelve portraits one by one. He saw counts of all generations standing or sitting, wearing cloaks, or wearing court hats, with different postures and very noble temperaments.
Later, Nan Sichen gave a brief introduction to each generation of earls, Lan Nianyun listened carefully and wrote down one by one.
When it came to the last oil painting, Nan Sichen stopped, and Lan Nianyun's eyes were completely attracted.
The oil painting was extremely special. It not only painted a handsome earl, but also a young woman wearing a golden court dress and a wide-edged feather hat.
In the painting, the count is wearing a cool silver armored knight's uniform, with a long sword on his left waist. He bent his right leg, knelt on one knee with his left leg, and pulled up the woman's right hand with his left hand and looked up at her. His eyes were solemn, sincere, sincere, and attached, as if mixed with passionate desire and admiration.
The young woman looked down at the count. Her skin was white, her eyebrows were graceful, her temperament was elegant, and she was very beautiful. However, her eyes were quiet and soft, and her smile was faint, as if she was blooming with a beautiful lily.
"This is Lester, the third-generation Count of the Garomi family. That woman is the girl Lester likes." Nan Sichen gave the final introduction.
"Yes." Lan Nianyun responded softly.
Somehow, when she saw this woman, she couldn't take her eyes open and felt the woman's mood when she painted the portrait.
She respects, is grateful to the count, and even feels pity, but she does not have the kind of love that is constantly separated between men and women.
There was a hint of sadness and loneliness in her eyes, as if she was saying goodbye to him and told him that she was going to fly far away and go to an unknown place.
Lan Nianyun stared at the woman, and as she looked, her heart felt sad and her vision was a little blurred.
"What's wrong, Cindy? Why are you crying?" Nan Sichen's soft voice as soft as the breeze came in his ears.
Just now, he looked at the oil painting with Lan Nianyun's eyes for a long time, and he kept meditating on Leicester's life.
He is the greatest and legendary count in the history of the Garomie family. It was also from him that he formulated the manual of the Knights that had been passed down by the Garomie family for hundreds of years.
The woman in the oil painting is the first princess guarded by the Garomi family, Duchess Diane de Fran.
The story between Leicester and Diane Lane has been written into a book and has been collected by the heirs of the counts of all generations.
However, so far, Nan Sichen has not seen that book. He only learned about some emotional entanglements between Leicester and Diane Lane during his occasional conversation with Charles.
It was a sigh-worthy feeling. Lester went through fire and water, fearlessly, overcoming obstacles and moving forward bravely; Diane Lian was struggling, entangled, wandering, and suffering until she finally chose to let go of everything, left her hometown, and cut off the love between the two with a knife.
Nan Sichen once felt very puzzled by Diane Lian’s actions, “Grandpa, why does Diane Lian not want to stay with Leicester? She clearly has feelings for Leicester, but would rather leave him. Before leaving, she wishes him to marry another person?”
Charles said earnestly, "Lawrence, the relationship in the world is very complicated. Not the ones who love each other must be together. This requires three aspects: time, place, and people. Lester and Diane Lian have experienced too many hardships. Even if they love each other, they cannot accompany each other for a lifetime if they lose the time and place. Diane Lian's choice to leave Lester is actually another kind of fulfillment. Without Diane Lian's letting go, Lester would not have established a happy family later, with their descendants extending and glorious from generation to generation."
At that time, Nan Sichen was still young, only twelve years old, and he had not fully understood these words. Compared to the relationship between Lester and Diane Lian, he was more curious about what kind of hardships the two had experienced. But he knew that the story of Lester and Diane Lian involved some secrets of King Louis XIV at that time. Charles would not have read the booklet for him until he grew up.
At that time, he stared at the oil painting for a long time, and suddenly thought about it and asked Charles, "Grandpa, why did Lester use his left hand when he swears to the Knight Diane Landscaping? His long sword is also on the waist on the left."
Upon hearing this, Charles's eyes showed appreciation. His grandson has always been smart and careful and observant. Over the years, the plan for training the heirs he and James for him was extremely strict, but Nan Sichen implemented it meticulously. He did not do anything, but he followed step by step, and every step he took met their expectations, even exceeding their expectations.
Just like at this time, Nan Sichen once again pointed out the key to the problem.
Charles didn't answer him...
-------------------
Little cuties, the answer to the question yesterday came out. Lan Nianyun's ancestors had noble blood and were a duke named Diane de Farlan. Moreover, the duke had a close connection with the king Louis XIV of the time.
As the knight and noble who guards the king, the Garomi family guards the noble figures as the princess, passed down from generation to generation.
Why is Lan Nianyun said to be Nan Sichen's princess?
Because, the Earl Lester, the Knight who guarded the first princess of the Garomi family, had a relationship with the princess at that time, and went through fire and water for it, sacrificing life, and love was spared.
Therefore, among the three major families, the Garomi family is particularly special, and it was Lester who formulated the rules of knights to protect the princess, which have been passed down for hundreds of years.
This answer is indeed difficult, and the accurate answer did not appear, but a few little cuties more or less answered the relevant points. So, congratulations to the few little cuties who answered the first one for receiving the reward!
