The Double

"Oh?" Yin Zhan was somewhat surprised, "You two have already met? That’s quite fated."

"Indeed," said Yin Zhiqing, "For someone like my brother to have finished an entire game of chess with Miss Jiang the Second, that’s impressive. I think there’s an eighty to ninety percent chance that Miss Jiang the Second will be joining our Yin Household."

Yin Zhan smiled, "Is that so, Zhili?"

"Miss Jiang’s chess skills are very good; she beat me by one move," Zhili said with a smile.

"She beat you?" Yin Zhan was surprised, then he laughed and said, "It seems that Miss Jiang the Second really is quite clever. Since she’s the top scholar in the Six Arts examination, it’s clear her talents are not lacking, and she’s willing to beat the Drum of Injustice for strangers she meets by chance, which shows she also has the courage and chivalry. Only, I wonder about her appearance..."

"Her appearance isn’t bad either," Yin Zhiqing said, "Although she’s not exceptionally beautiful, she’s quite good-looking. That should be just fine for you, brother."

"Zhili," Yin Zhili stopped her from talking nonsense.

Yin Zhiqing fell silent. Yin Zhan, however, looked at Yin Zhili and smiled, as if he had seen through Zhili’s thoughts, causing Zhili’s face to turn slightly red. Fortunately, Yin Zhiqing had already changed the subject, asking, "Father, do you know who the Duke Su of Yanjing City is?"

"Duke Su?" Yin Zhili was taken aback, then said, "Is it Jih Heng, the son of Jinwu General?"

Yin Zhan’s expression changed and he asked Yin Zhiqing, "Why do you ask about him?"

"Today at the Jiang Residence, I heard someone mention this name and was just curious. So Duke Su’s name is Jih Heng. Father, what kind of person is he? Since he’s the son of a general, is he also a general?"
