"Why do you ask this question all of a sudden?" Mo Ye froze for a moment and did not answer the rhetorical question.

"I know it's going to be weird to ask you this all of a sudden." Shi Yi squatted down, picked up a book that was spread out on the low desk, and stroked it with his hand, "But I don't know how to be tactful, that's what I want to know...... If it would be disrespectful to call the emperor by his name, then don't say it. ”

"It's not so strict, the emperor is also a human being, not a god, and on some occasions he is to be honored and addressed, but this does not mean that he cannot be talked about in private." Mo Ye's face softened a little, and then he said in a slightly lower voice: "The current emperor, surnamed Wang's name." ”

"Wang Chi......" Shi Yi repeated the name as if talking to himself, his gaze gradually fixed, as if he was thinking about something. After a while, he asked, "Zhaoguo, it seems that it has just been established, do you know what the situation was like in the previous dynasty?" ”

Mo Ye's expression was stunned, she first looked at the direction of the big house, and made sure that Old Man Qu was still busy in the backyard at this time, and then she said with doubts in her eyes: "The previous dynasty was Zhou, and it was nearly four hundred years overdue. In the last years of the Zhou Dynasty, the dynasty was decaying, the people's livelihood was chaotic, and the country existed in name only. The Wang army, which had defended the north gate of the country for more than ten years, could not bear the frequent harassment of foreign invaders, but the imperial court had been in arrears of military supplies for a long time, and led the army to retreat to the Central Continent, and later ...... I don't know much about the details of entering Beijing. ”

"In this case, it is easy for a general with military power to take this path!" Shi Yi sighed softly, he saw that Mo Ye was about to speak, and asked one step ahead of her: "What is the name of the emperor of the nearly four hundred years of Zhou you are talking about?" ”

"There were more than a dozen emperors in the Zhou Dynasty, the one who founded the country was surnamed Xia Mingli, and the one who died was called Xia Xuan." That's it. The doubts in Mo Ye's heart had piled up to the height of silence.

At this time, she saw Shi Yi move her lips after she finished saying the sentence just now, and said a sentence in a very soft voice, she tried to distinguish it, but she heard the words "not surnamed ......".

She finally couldn't help but say, "Brother Xiaoyi, although the questions you asked me are not difficult, they make me suddenly feel that you have become a little strange...... You grew up in Kyoto. Heavenly neighbors, with your wisdom, since you can figure out your own life experience, how can you not understand these issues? ”

Shi Yi smiled slightly: "Do you think I'm out of place here, that's why I think of the word strange?" It's like a handful of rice with a sudden extra sesame seed, although it is all grain, but how to look at it is different! ”

Mo Ye heard a trace of sadness from Shi Yi's words, and she couldn't help but be moved: "I didn't think about it that much. Don't mind. ”

"It's that I'm thinking too much, and I hope it doesn't bother you." Shi Yi kept a smile on his face, and said slowly: "Sometimes I have an illusion that I am an extra person in this world, and I have never seen what my mother looks like and what my father looks like. What will happen in the future? A few months ago, I had a serious illness and was dying, and that feeling of excess was even stronger. ”

Hearing him say this, Mo Ye's brows furrowed slightly, and he couldn't help but interrupt him: "When people are sick, they tend to have some strange thoughts, and when their bodies are healed, this kind of thoughts will naturally disappear...... Brother Xiaoyi, are you feverish and getting worse? ”

"Maybe!" Shi Yi reached out and touched his forehead. At the same time, he looked at Mo Ye. Wen Yan said: "I'm fine, I just want to sue you, I want to find out who I am, even if it's all over the country." But this kind of thinking may not make any progress with my current ability. That's why I want to understand as much as possible about the road I want to take in the future and what kind of environment I will go through. ”

"Brother Xiao Yi means that you are going to find your father in person?"

"Hmm." Shi Yi put down the hand covering his forehead, put the book he was holding in his other hand back to its place, looked around at the books in the courtyard, and sighed in his heart: There are more than hundreds of books, and none of them can help me understand the world.

Mo Ye saw that Shi Yi began to be in a slight daze, thinking that he was sentimental about finding his father. She thought to herself for a while, she originally wanted to build yì Shiyi to ask her master for help, but after thinking about it, the master might not even be a little busy with his own affairs in the near future, so in the end she had to press this idea first, and prepared to mention it to the master when she was free in the future.

The general situation of this era that he learned from Mo Ye made Shi Yi feel slightly confused and lost, he was silent for a long time, and when he put away his mind and looked at Mo Ye, he happened to see a trace of confusion on Mo Ye's face, this scene made him suddenly remember something, and said: "When I was appreciating apricots before lunch, I told you that because of the friendship of our parents' generation, when I checked about my mother, I also slightly inquired about some things that may be related to your parents. Now that you are mentally prepared, I will tell you what I know. ”

After a pause, he emphatically said, "However, no matter what I tell you later, please keep it in your heart, I am doing this out of the friendship between the two of us, but I hope that my words will cause trouble to Uncle Lin." ”

Mo Ye was silent for a moment, then nodded seriously.

Shi Yi smiled, buffered the somewhat tense atmosphere between the two of them, and then said slowly: "Ling Tang's surname is Ye, this is the piece of information I can be most sure of now. I once secretly looked through the account books of Dongfeng Building, and saw her account page signature and a handwritten note, the handwriting and writing tools are probably difficult for anyone to imitate in this world...... Of course, this may have been an intentional attempt to prevent folio forgery. ”

"So my mother is really the owner of Dongfeng Building?" Mo Ye hesitated.

"I heard from my aunts that when they bought that building, Aunt Ye was accompanied by a man. However, looking at the later method of making accounts, Aunt Ye was all responsible, and after buying the whole building, the man did not accompany Aunt Ye into the building every time to manage the accounts, and he didn't care about the things in the building. In this way, Aunt Ye should be the proprietor of Dongfeng Tower. ”

Shi Yi paused, and then said: "Judging from the account page, Aunt Ye also has other businesses, and those businesses are all connected operations, but Dongfeng Lou is a lone seedling. But Dongfeng Lou is a goulan courtyard after all, Aunt Ye is a big businessman, waiting here for a long time will inevitably damage her identity, Dongfeng Lou as her sideline, she only comes to the account once every half a month, this is recorded in the account book date and small notes can be scrutinized. ”

Shi Yi's inference sounded reasonable, but Mo Ye couldn't help but ask when he heard this: "Brother Xiaoyi, even the academy that stands above the level of a private school doesn't teach much, why are you so familiar with it?" ”

"The most important test of this kind of work is people's patience and carefulness, in fact, there is no difficult text in the account book, it is nothing more than repeating the numbers over and over again." After Shi Yi finished explaining, he smiled at Mo Ye again, "Didn't I say just now that I wanted to aspire to be a businessman?" So when I was recuperating from my illness, I secretly looked at a lot of account books in Dongfeng Building, and you can't leak this secret! ”

Mo Ye nodded and smiled, and then asked, "However, even if I know that my mother is the proprietor of Dongfeng Tower, this identity is still vague in my heart. ”

"At least now we can determine a little bit so that we can rely on that to deduce a circle related to it." Shi Yi gave Mo Ye an encouraging look, "Interpersonal relationships are sometimes like weaving a net, if you hold the thread, if you want to dismantle a net, it's as simple as pushing the boat down the river." After Aunt Ye is a big businessman, figuring out her identity is basically equivalent to figuring out the identity and whereabouts of a group of people who interact with her, and we have mastered a very important thing. ”

"Did you find anything?" Mo Ye's tone seemed a little urgent.

"I just read this information in a hurry when I was trying to find out something about my mother, and I didn't think I'd use it for you today, so I didn't look closely, all I knew was some broken words." Shi Yi said this, and then said for a moment, and then said: "Earlier, I heard one of several aunts say that the man who came with Aunt Ye to buy a house that day was surnamed Wang, and when I wanted to ask again to be sure, the aunt refused to say it, and I don't know if it's true or not. ”

When Mo Ye heard this, the look in his eyes moved.

"However, most of the passers-by in Qinglou will use pseudonyms, just like my father...... The last name is something that you should not be too quick to believe until you are sure. Shi Yi sneered slightly, and then said with a smile: "However, if that man's real surname is Wang, with his financial resources, he may have something to do with the current royal family!" ”

As soon as Shi Yi's words fell, Mo Ye couldn't help but lose his voice and said, "This kind of relationship can't be guessed. ”

"That's not necessarily!" Shi Yi analyzed disappreciably: "Today's emperor is probably the founding monarch, the clan is not deep, and the time when Aunt Ye bought the house is calculated is the overlapping period when the old dynasty has no new dynasty, maybe the prince is really the royal family who was not yet the emperor at that time." ”

"Even if your vision is true, so what?" Mo Ye frowned and said slowly: "Even if the identity of that prince is found out, if he is really a royal clan, he is either a feudal official and is far away; Either he is a royal prince who lives deep in the palace, and the forbidden palace is heavily controlled, and it is difficult for us to see him. ”

Shi Yi thought for a while and exhaled, and said a little weakly: "If my idea is to save zài, if the princess Xinzhu we saved today can still be seen in the future, and there is no grudge against us, maybe the problem you just worried about can be solved." ”

Mo Ye heard the meaning of Shi Yi's words, and her eyes suddenly overflowed with a bright color, but that bright color quickly faded again, and she also said a little weakly: "If this assumption is not valid from the beginning, then the later ones may not be possible!" ”。 (To be continued.)
