I'm a useless prince, so what if I know a little bit of chemistry?

Lin Fan looked at Yang's mother, then at the drunk Yang Jianjiannan, smiled, and said, "Old lady, since you asked, I won't hide it from you."

Mother Yang nodded and said very seriously, "Mr. Lin, please speak."

Lin Fan poured himself a glass of wine and a cup of tea for Mother Yang, then asked, "Aunt, have you heard about the eldest prince of Daliang going to the south of the Yangtze River?"

Mother Yang nodded, her face was startled, and she asked: "Could it be..."

"Yes, I am the eldest prince, Lin Fan."

Mother Yang was stunned for a moment, then she stood up and was about to salute.

Lin Fan hurriedly stopped Mother Yang and advised, "Aunt, there is no need to do this. There are only three of us here, and I came here as a junior today. How can I accept your gift?"

Mother Yang stared at Lin Fan for a long time, and finally said, "If that's the case, then I won't beat around the bush. I just want to know why His Royal Highness the Prince is so supportive of Jiannan."

Lin Fan replied calmly: "I think you know Jiannan's talent. I can't bear to see such a great talent buried in the countryside."

Mother Yang was stunned and asked, "But Jiannan just participated in the poetry meeting. How did His Royal Highness know that Jiannan has talent?"

Lin Fan smiled and said, "Jiannan gives me a different feeling, so I want to be friends with him. To be honest, it's hard to make true friends in the Imperial City."

"And a few silver coins are not worth much to me, but for Jiannan, it's a bit different."

Lin Fan paused, looked at the drunk Yang Jiannan, and continued: "And Jiannan is a good person with good character."

Mother Yang looked into Lin Fan's eyes, as if trying to see if Lin Fan was lying.

Lin Fan was not afraid at all and responded to Yang's mother's gaze.

After a long while, Yang's mother sighed and said, "You are also a good person. It is a blessing for Jiannan to meet you. I thank you on behalf of Jiannan."

Lin Fan quickly said, "Aunt, you don't have to do this."

Mother Yang looked at Lin Fan with a bit of pride in her eyes and said, "In that case, you and Jiannan can be sworn brothers. I agree. Don't refuse. Although our family looks shabby now, we were actually from a wealthy family before."

Seeing Mother Yang say this, Lin Fan also became interested and asked, "Aunt, can you tell me more?"

Mother Yang smiled, her eyes seemed to be reminiscing, and her originally cloudy eyes now had some spirit.

"Do you know the Hedong Yang family?"

"Are you?"

Mother Yang smiled bitterly, nodded, and said, "Yes, I am Yang Feng."

The Hedong Yang family is the backbone of the Chu State. It can be said that the Yang family has made an indelible contribution to the Chu State’s current foundation.

The Yang family is full of heroes.

The Yang family has served Da Chu since it was still a small vassal state.

Today, the Chu State occupies the four counties of Jiangdong and has the natural barrier of the Yangtze River. The Yang family has made tremendous contributions to this.

However, because of his political reforms, the King of Chu executed his entire family. It is said that only Yang Feng and his son escaped, and there has been no news of them since then.

Moreover, Yang Feng and Lin Fan's mother Nian Jiao have a very close relationship.

Lin Fan clasped his fists towards Mother Yang, showing some respect, and said, "I don't know your identity, so I am a little rude."

Mother Yang didn't care, waved her hand and said, "It's all in the past."

Mother Yang looked at Yang Jiannan and said, "This child has been proficient in the Yang family's military tactics since he was young, and he also has his own unique insights into governing a country. He will naturally be helpful to you in the future. However, I hope that if possible, Your Highness the Prince will leave a descendant for my sake."

Lin Fan was somewhat moved and nodded in agreement: "Yes, I promise you."

Seeing Lin Fan agreed, Mother Yang nodded and said, "I will let Jiannan go to the capital, and he can become your right-hand man."

Lin Fan smiled and said, "We are still good brothers."

Mother Yang smiled and said to Lin Fan, "Good boy."

Afterwards, Lin Fan chatted with Yang's mother for a while longer. Lin Fan asked how much more things the Yang family needed so that he could get them.

Yang's mother refused.

Lin Fan and Yang's mother chatted a lot, mostly about military matters.

Although Lin Fan had never experienced it, he had memories of his past life and could express his own opinions.

Moreover, sometimes Lin Fan's opinions were always to the point, which made Yang's mother marvel again and again.

"Mom, Brother Lin, how long have I slept? My head hurts so much." Yang Jiannan covered his head and slowly climbed up from the table.

When Yang Jiannan woke up, Mother Yang said softly, "Jiannan, you and Faner must get along well from now on."

Yang Jiannan was still a little confused, but he didn't ask any more questions and just nodded.

Seeing that it was getting late, Lin Fan planned to get up and say goodbye.

Yang Jiannan was still a little drunk, so his mother went to send Lin Fan off.

"Fan'er, when you go to Jiangnan, you must be careful. The Shen family is not a simple family." Mother Yang advised.

Lin Fan nodded and said, "Aunt, I'll remember it."

Mother Yang suddenly stopped, as if she remembered something, and said to Lin Fan: "Fan'er, wait a moment."

Lin Fan didn't know what Yang's mother was doing. He saw her go back into the house and come out again after a while.

Mother Yang put a token into Lin Fan's hand and said, "Fan'er, this is the token of my Yang family. When you go to the Shen family, you can take out the token at a critical moment. It may be useful."

Lin Fan put the token away and said, "Thank you, old aunt. I will come to visit you again when I return from Jiangnan."

Mother Yang nodded and said to Lin Fan, "Be careful in everything."

Lin Fan was somewhat moved, nodded, and left the Yang family.

When he returned to the courtyard where he lived, Chun Fang came out to greet him.

Lin Fan smiled and said to Chun Fang: "Chun Fang, guess who I met?"

Chun Fang smiled and said as he helped Lin Fan change his clothes: "The one who can make you so moved must not be an ordinary person."

Lin Fan chuckled and gently scratched Chun Fang's nose with his finger, causing the girl's heart to flutter.

"You may not believe this, but I met Senior Yang Feng."

Chun Fang showed a look of surprise, and then he heard Lin Fan continue: "I never thought that Jiannan was actually the son of Senior Yang Feng."

"Oh, if mother were still alive, it would be great if they could meet each other."

Lin Fan felt a little disappointed.

Chun Fang said very considerately, "Yes, but Your Majesty will be very happy to know that the Marquis has met Senior Yang, right?"

Lin Fan did not speak, but took out the token that Yang's mother gave him, put it on the table, and said, "Old aunt also gave me this thing."

Lin Fan was drunk at this time and lay on his back in the chair with his eyes closed.

But he didn't notice that when Chun Fang saw the token, his eyes were a little shocked, but then returned to normal.

"My Lord, let's go back and rest and get comfortable. After all, we still have to travel tomorrow."

"Well, support this prince."

"Oh, my Lord, be gentle."
