The old woman walked into the back room and gave a salute to Chong'er first, although the ceremony was not standardized, but it was finally realized, and how could Chong'er and others have the heart to pay attention to these at this moment.

"Childe is above, the old woman's family is poor, and there are only some rough noodles, is it good to brand some cakes for Childe and others?"

Naja Tuo said loudly, "The old woman doesn't need to be verbose, just do it. Thinking of the cake, I couldn't help but salivate, "It would be even more delicious if you could sprinkle some sesame seeds, can you have sesame seeds at home?" ”

"Sesame? I have to look for it, I don't know if there is anything else. The old woman bowed her head and replied.

"Then go quickly, I'll wait for the hungry to have their chests on their backs." Jia Tuo clutched his stomach and said.

The old woman hurriedly left, and in the outhouse, she frowned at the old man and whispered, "That boy and the others want to make some sesame cakes, but there is only a little foundation at home, how do you make sesame cakes?" ”

The old man frowned, suddenly raised his head and said, "You make the cake first, and I'll be back later." ”

The old woman didn't know what to do with this wife, it was impossible to borrow, the neighbors around were the same, her own house was still good, there were no children to occupy the rations, otherwise it would be even more unbearable. I had to rely on my wife and make cakes first.

After a short time, the old man returned, with his arms open, holding his shirt in his hand, and pouted: "Mix these into sesame seeds and burn them on the cake." ”

The old woman looked through the open cracks, and there were some small white worms crawling in the underwear, and there were a lot of them, which were the lice on the human body, so frightened that the old woman hurriedly covered the old man's hand: "You, you are crazy, they must know about this, and they must not kill us." ”

"What's the solution? If we don't satisfy them, they will kill us. They want to eat sesame cakes, but we just order sesame seeds, where is there enough? I figured that this thing was about the size of a sesame seed, and it was white, so I tried it, damn it. The old man said helplessly.

When the old woman heard this, she gradually let go of her hand: "Yes, then let's try, if God doesn't pity us, let's die." ”

Letting the old man pay attention to the movement in the house, the old woman mixed the lice with sesame seeds and sprinkled them on the cake, and hurriedly got out of the pot with trembling hands, and the cake was heated in the pot, and remembered the sound of "gaba", and I don't know whether it was the sound of sesame seeds exploding or lice exploding.

After a short time, the bread was baked, the old woman shoveled out the cake, looked at it, and the "sesame seeds" were still quite like that, and the heart hanging in her chest barely fell, and quickly cut it into several pieces and brought it into the house.

Everyone in the room was already hungry and dizzy, at this moment when they saw this sesame cake, how could they look carefully, grab it regardless of the hot mouth, three times five divided by two on the stomach, the belly was filled with this hot cake, it was really wonderful, Chong'er couldn't help but say to the old couple: "This sesame cake can be said to be the most delicious cake Chong'er has ever eaten in this life, your second elder's great kindness is unforgettable!" ”

Na Jia Tuo stroked his stomach: "If I can eat this delicious cake every day, then I don't want to change it even if I give me a Shangqing." ”

Zhao Yu also wanted to speak, but he felt that there was a sesame seed in his mouth, so he stuck it with his fingers, and was about to put it in his mouth again, but he found an abnormality, one of the sesame seeds was an authentic sesame seed, and the other looked like a human lice, but he still had a small head. That Zhao Yu instantly understood, and stared at the old couple who were about to get angry, but saw that the old couple was looking at him, with a begging look on his face. It turned out that the old couple had discovered Zhao Yuan's abnormal behavior, and their pleading eyes hoped that Zhao Yuan would not say anything. Zhao Yu is a virtuous person, understood something from the eyes of the old couple, took a step forward and said to Chong'er: "These two old people are really our benefactors, if there are no two old people, we will starve to death, and please keep in mind that if you can get out of trouble in the future, you must give a reward." ”

As soon as these words came out, the old couple's hanging hearts just landed, and they gratefully saluted Zhao Yuanyi.

After getting this full meal, Chong'er and the others continued to hurry, and finally arrived in the country of Qi. Duke Qi Huan was a corporal of Lixian, entertained him with great courtesy, and married a girl from the same family, Qi Jiang, to Chong'er, and accompanied twenty carriages, Chong'er felt very satisfied here, and lived a comfortable life in Qi State.

Chong'er lived in Qi for five years, accompanied by his wife, and slowly forgot his ambitions, and had no intention of leaving Qi. One day, Zhao Yu and Hu Yan were discussing how to leave Qi under a mulberry tree, but they never wanted to be heard by Qi Jiang's maid on the mulberry tree, and the maid went back to the house and secretly told Qi Jiang. This Qi Jiang is also a strange woman, she naturally doesn't want her husband to be a vulgar and unambitious person, in order to prevent the maid from leaking secrets to Chong'er, Qi Jiang secretly killed the maid, and rushed to advise Chong'er to leave Qi as soon as possible.

Chong'er said: "People are born to seek comfort and pleasure, what do you care about other things, if I don't leave, I will die in the country of Qi." ”

Qi Jiang said: "You are the son of a country, you came here in desperation, and these retinues of yours regard you as their lives. I am ashamed of you that you did not hurry back to your country to repay your toiling courtiers, but you coveted women. Besides, if you don't pursue it now, when will you succeed? ”

But Chong'er seemed to be dead-hearted, insisted on not leaving, and had no way to set up a banquet for Qi Jiang and Zhao Yu and others to get Chong'er drunk, and directly drove him out of Qi State. After walking a long way, Chong'er woke up, and as soon as he found out the truth of the matter, Chong'er was furious, "How can you courtiers treat your lord like this!" ”

Fox Yan arched his hand and said: "This time it was all my idea, if you want to blame me, you can blame me alone!" ”

When he heard this, he was furious and picked up Ge to kill his uncle Huyan.

The fox said, "If you kill me, you can do it, and I am willing to die." ”

Heavy Ear said, "If things don't work out, I'll eat your flesh." ”

The fox smiled and said: "Things can't be successful, my meat is fishy and shameful, how can it be worth your food!" ”

When Chong'er heard this, he couldn't help but laugh, knowing that everyone was thinking about themselves, so he calmed down his anger and continued to move forward.

After that, all the way, passing through Cao Guo, Cao Gonggong bullied his ears and was very rude at the banquet, and said: "I heard that Gongzi has the image of a saint, can you let my father see it?" ”

The so-called sakira means that the ribs are closely connected as a whole, which is an innate vision, and such a vision cannot be viewed by others. The crowd was so angry that a banquet broke up.

Doctor Cao Guo said to Cao Gonggong after the detention: "The son of Jin is heavy-eared, virtuous and capable, and we have the same surname Ji, passing by our country in poverty, you can't be so rude to him." ”

Cao Gonggong replied: "There are many princes from all over the country who have fled abroad, who does not pass through here?" There is no etiquette for those who have fled, so how can I treat them all with courtesy? Cao Gonggong was unimpressed.

When he returned home, depressed, his wife asked him why, and he recounted what had happened during the day. However, his wife was a knowledgeable person, and thought that Chong'er would return to the Jin State to gain power, and would definitely crusade against the Cao State in the future to take revenge, so she said to the Xu's Zhijiao: "I observed that Chong'er, the prince of the Jin Kingdom, and the three people in his entourage are all materials of the state minister, and with these three people who are good at assisting, he will definitely return to the Jin Kingdom." If he can return to the Jin Kingdom, he will definitely dominate the princes like the Duke of Qi Huan, and he will definitely crusade against those who are rude to him, and the Cao State may be the first country he wants to crusade. If Cao Guo is in trouble, you will definitely not be able to escape the involvement. Why don't you make another plan sooner rather than later? I have heard that he who does not know his son looks at his father; If you don't know the king, you can see who he uses. Now the people who follow the heavy ears are all people who can be ministers and serve as servants for him, so their masters must be the monarchs who are kings and hegemons. If you treat him with courtesy now, you will be rewarded by him later; If you are rude to him, he will definitely settle accounts in the future. If you don't plan early, disaster will come soon! ”

Hearing this, he suddenly felt his mouth open, and said to his wife, "What Madame said is extremely true, if it weren't for your reminder, it would be in danger." "Overnight, he put food in a pot and put it on top of the jade bi and gave it to Chong'er. Chong'er accepted the food with great gratitude and returned the jade. In the future, Chong'er took the throne, thinking of the humiliation of Cao State, so he led an army to invade Cao State and captured Cao Gonggong. Before the attack, there was a strict order not to harass the family of the Emperor, Wei Li and Zhu Jie were dissatisfied with the restraint of Duke Wen of Jin, and attacked the land of the Emperor and set fire to his family, and the Emperor was also killed in the fire, and Wei Li was injured in the attack. Jin Wengong was very unhappy after knowing the incident, and planned to execute the two, Zhao Yuan and others pleaded hard, and Jin Wengong saw that he was still so brave after being injured, and felt that he could continue to fight, so he was exempted from the death penalty, and Dian Jie was killed, and afterwards Jin Wengong personally held a funeral for Xi Cheng, and ordered Wei Li to carry the coffin for him to forgive his mistakes.

Leaving the Cao State, Chong'er and his entourage entered the Song State, at this time it was exactly 637 BC, Song Xianggong had just been defeated by the Chu army, and was recuperating from his wounds in Hongshui (see Chapter 2 for details here).

Song Guozuo Shimu Yi had a good relationship with Xianzhen and Huyan, and he was deeply admired by several conversations, so he became friends. One day, Muyi said to Song Xianggong: "Jin Gongzi has been in exile for many years, and he has grown up from a child, he likes to do good deeds without being complacent, serving Hu Yan like a father, serving Zhao Yu like a teacher, and serving Jia Tuo like a brother." Fox Yan is the uncle of Heavy Ears, benevolent and resourceful. Zhao Yu is the younger brother of Zhao Shu, who served as the imperial Rong for Jin Xiangong, and is full of literary brilliance and loyalty. Jia Tuo was a prince of the Jin Kingdom, well-informed and courteous. The forerunner was scheming, courageous, thoughtful, upright and loyal, and had great insights into marching and fighting. Wei Li, brave and fearless, with copper muscles and iron bones, should be a good hand at charging into battle. These five people assist Chong'er on the left and right, and Chong'er is usually humble and respectful to them, and he has to consult them whenever he has something, and he has always been like this from childhood to adulthood, and he is not slacking off, which can be said to be polite. If you make achievements in the aspect of etiquette, you will definitely be rewarded. "Shang Song" says: "Shang Tang is anxious to honor the virtuous corporal, and the holy virtue rises upward every day. 'Honoring the corporal is a sign of courtesy. Please think about it. ”

This Song Xianggong was originally a benevolent and righteous monarch, so he listened to Muyi's advice, prepared a good gift and gave Chong'er eighty horses. Since then, Muyi has formed a good relationship with Xianzhen, Huyan and others, and has become good friends.

The group left the Song State and passed through Zheng Guo, then Zheng Guo didn't want to see Chong'er, Chong'er and the others left directly, and from Zheng Guo to Chu State, Chong'er left Zheng Guo and went to Chu State. King Chu Cheng entertained him with the courtesy of treating the princes, and he didn't dare to accept it.

Zhao Yu said: "You have been on the run for more than ten years, and generally small countries despise you, let alone big countries? Today, Chu is great country insists on treating you well, don't give in, this is God making you rise. ”

Chong'er then met with King Chu Cheng according to the courtesy of the princes. King Chu Cheng entertained Chong'er well, and Chong'er was very humble. At the banquet, King Chu Cheng said, "If you can return to the Jin Kingdom in the future, what will you use to repay me?" ”

Chong'er replied: "Rare birds and beasts, pearls and jade silks, the king is rich and surplus, Chong'er doesn't know what gift to repay." ”

King Chu Cheng said, "Even so, what should you use to repay me?" ”

Chong'er said, "If I ascend to the throne, if I have to do so, if I meet you in the plains and lakes and marshes, I will retreat for you." ”

As soon as these words came out, Ziyu, the general of the Chu State, was very angry when he heard this, and got up and said to King Chu Cheng: "The king, you are too good to the prince of Jin, and today you are disrespectful, please kill him." ”

King Chu Cheng waved his hand and said: "The son of Jin has a noble character, he has been killed abroad for a long time, and his entourage is all virtuous people of the country, this is arranged by God, how can I kill him?" And what is there to refute his words? ”

After that, Chong'er and others stayed in the state of Chu temporarily, and communicated with the king of Chu and his courtiers every day.

On this day, the king of Chu and Chong'er met to hunt in the Ze of Yunmeng. The king of Chu showed off his martial arts, opened his bow and arrows and shot a deer and a rabbit one after another, and his subordinates picked them up, and all the generals fell to the ground to congratulate.

At this time, someone rushed past the car, and the king of Chu said in a heavy ear: "Why don't you shoot it!" ”

Chong'er took his bow and arrow, and secretly prayed: "If Chong'er can be promoted to king, this arrow will hit his right palm." "An arrow, perhaps as witnessed by heaven, pierced the right palm of the bear, and the sergeant took the bear as an offering.
