The name of the eastern frontier city of the Western Jin Dynasty is called Dingfuguan. Legend has it that hundreds of years ago, when the river flooded, it was a strong man in the city who lifted the original mountain and filled it to form a dam that saved the lives of the people in the city. That Hercules was also respected by the people. What is puzzling is that when Chu Ye asked the people in the city, most of the people avoided talking about the name of this wrestler, and even showed fear.

This is not because after hundreds of years, people have gradually forgotten the feats of Hercules. It's because something happened that forced people to forget this legend that has been passed down for hundreds of years.

Chu Ye gave everyone a full day off, let them have a good rest, and after leaving the country tomorrow, they will have to sleep in the wild for a few days.

Everyone thanked Dade for a moment, and after transporting He Yi into the city lord's mansion, they ran out in groups one after another.

Chu Ye gave others a holiday, but he stayed in the city lord's mansion. Chu Shan learned that he couldn't go out to play, so he pestered Chu Ye for half an hour, and after getting Chu Ye's affirmative answer, he giggled and threw himself into Sima Jin's arms.

When Sima Jin and Chu Ye saw her coquettish and cute, they knew how wise it was to bring her back in the first place.

Chu Ye suddenly remembered Qi Sheng, when the child was so old, she also pestered her because she couldn't go out of the palace to play, and she was rarely close to Sheng'er because she had to deal with the affairs of the court and palace for Qi Lian, Qi Sheng was five years older, and the time she spent with him probably didn't add up to less than a year.

Thinking of this, Chu Ye unconsciously left tears.

It was the child she conceived and gave birth to in October, but she died tragically in the tiger's mouth, how could she not be heartbroken.

She received a reward from the Floating Pavilion yesterday. After Chu Xun escaped from Huangjue Temple, he has been hiding in the palace of the three princes. Chu Ye frowned and thought about it, the third prince Qi Yue was Chu Xun's parent, and it was not surprising that he would hide his mother in his mansion. It's just that even the Fusheng Pavilion can detect things, with the ability and intelligence network of the Dongyao Royal Secret Guard, how could it not be discovered!

Unless!

There are Chu Xun's people among the secret guards!

Dongyao's royal secret guard, she knows. That group of people does not participate in government politics, does not involve party disputes, and is a real stinky stone.

Back then, she also thought about approaching Dongyao's old emperor through the secret guard, but after learning about it, she found that she had no way to subdue them for her own use. In this case, how did Chu Xun place his own people there.

Chu Ye picked up the teacup in his hand and was about to drink it, but found that the tea in it had been drunk, and even the teapot was gone.

She sighed.

In the past few days, she has been raised by Sima Jin really tricky, just because Sima Jin is too elegant.

The ink he researched must be the oil made from pine resin burned by himself, tangerine peel, soaphorn, alum, white sandalwood, grenade peel, sumac, hazelnut peel are the same, somehow, the ink developed actually has a faint ambergris; The tea he cooks must be picked by hand, the tangerine peel, ginger slices, and nuts are exactly the same, and the color of the soup must complement the tea cup; His flowers and plants, spring orchids and autumn chrysanthemums, or light and fragrant, or colorful, no matter the weather, rain or snow, each has its own style. The peel he peeled must be evenly sliced without a trace of flesh, and the small pieces cut into pieces are just enough for her to take a bite and fully satisfy her gluttonous desire; Chu Ye also brought volumes of books with him on this trip, and Sima Jin took them out to dry when he had time, and then sandwiched a dried leaf on the title page of each book as a bookmark.

Chu Ye was helpless, and Sima Jin took Chu Shan's girl out, and the attendants who accompanied her also left because she was on vacation.

There was no way, Chu Ye had to deign to walk out of the room with the teapot, trying to find a kitchen to ask for some hot water.

The City Lord's Mansion in Dingfu Chengguan was huge, and Chu Ye and his party were arranged to live on the west side, and she didn't see a kitchen after going around for most of the time.

Chu Ye glanced around, and simply walked around the city lord's mansion.

Chu Ye walked casually, feeling the softness of the breeze on his face, although most of the flower branches have withered, but the rockery stone scenery in the house is still unique. The deeper Chu Ye went, the more he felt familiar.

Suddenly, Chu Ye heard a small cry coming from in front of her, she frowned, and carefully took a few more steps forward. I saw an old woman with a face full of vicissitudes kneeling in front of a stone mountain, with a brazier containing paper money in front of her, sobbing quietly.

Chu Ye took another half step forward. With a "snap", Chu Ye's expression twisted into a ball, and the old woman also turned her head when she heard the voice.

Her face was full of disbelief and she looked at Chu Ye in shock.

Chu Ye thought that she would have to ask questions after being discovered, and the excuses in her mind instantly appeared in droves, but she never thought that when she heard the old woman's trembling voice, she stumbled and said, "Miss...... Is that you, Miss! ”

Chu Ye felt her face being held up by a pair of rough hands, she looked at the face of the old woman who suddenly enlarged in front of her, and swallowed her saliva.

I only heard the old woman say to herself again: "Great, eldest lady, you are back!" That's great! ”

Chu Ye carefully raised his arms, grabbed the old woman's hands and moved it off his face. The old woman looked excited and held Chu Ye tightly.

"Miss, don't you remember the old slave! I'm Mama Zhao! ”

"Mother Zhao, you recognize the wrong person, I'm not a big lady, I'm a man!"

Mother Zhao showed a confused look, she glanced back at the stone, and then turned her head sharply, and her tone was unusually affirmative: "No, you are the eldest lady!" I didn't find the bones of the eldest lady, just because the eldest lady you escaped, didn't you! ”

Chu Ye glanced past Mother Zhao and glanced at the stone.

To be precise, it was not a stone, and if you looked closely, you could still see the traces of the original cube. I am afraid that it is because of the perennial wind and sun erosion, and it is hidden in this huge rockery stone scenery like a stone.

"Mother Zhao, I'm really not the eldest lady, my surname is Chu, and the city lord of Yang is surnamed Yang, isn't it!"

Who knew that Zhao's mother waved her hand, and she almost jumped up excitedly: "Miss, you are really my eldest miss." I'm Mama Zhao! I'm Mama Zhao next to Madame, Miss, don't you remember me? I hugged you when you were a child......" Zhao's mother suddenly frowned: "Miss, thirty years have passed, and you are still the same as back then...... I knew that the master was wronged, and the Chu family's family style for hundreds of years would never do anything to collaborate with the enemy and commit treason! Miss, you're back to help the master wash away his grievances, right! ”

Chu family!

Hundreds of years!

Chu Ye suddenly remembered that Chu Xiao'er had said that he was also from a family and was highly respected, and his family was unfortunate for a while......

Her head began to hurt again, different from the previous pain, this time it seemed as if it was going to tear her whole body apart from the middle.

"Smack!"

The kettle in Chu Ye's hand fell to the ground and fell apart, she subconsciously held on to the stone beside her, and a voice kept buzzing in her head. Zhao's mother's face blurred in front of her eyes, and gradually only a mouth that was still flying up and down was left.

She bit her lip fiercely and ran back the way she had come. Behind him, he could still hear Zhao's mother shouting anxiously: "Miss! ”

Chu Ye could only run aimlessly, the scenery around her was constantly changing, and the voice in her mind was becoming more and more obvious.

"Everything you see, it's vanity......"

With a "plop", Chu Ye was tripped on the road, and her eyes gradually became heavy.

A second before closing her eyes, she only remembered that what she saw was Sima Jin's anxious eyes.

※※※

Since Chu Ye fainted in the Dingfu Guan City Lord's Mansion, Sima Jin's protection of Chu Ye has increased by several layers.

Not only did he detain her in the carriage when she was in a hurry, but Chu Ye was not allowed to step out of the carriage even when she was resting.

Chu Shan's girl didn't know what kind of ecstasy she had been poured into by Sima Jin, so she obediently sat in the carriage and accompanied Chu Ye.

Chu Ye will also spread the poetry books he brought on his lap to teach Chu Shan to read.

I have to say that Chu Shan's brain is very sufficient, although he is late in enlightenment, he can already recognize 1,800 words by now.

"Daddy, what do you mean by 'If the time comes, you can be extremely popular; If you have the opportunity to move, you can achieve a peerless achievement'? ”

Chu Shan pointed to a line of words in the book, and looked at Chu Ye with big eyes seeking knowledge.

"Well-nourished, move in time; The opportunity cannot be missed, and it will never come again. Chu Ye replied without raising his head.

Chu Shan tilted his head and frowned, obviously not understanding what Chu Ye meant.

Sima Jin looked at her puzzled little appearance, put down the peeling apple in her hand, and took the book in her hand.

"Kosugi, isn't it too early for you to read the "Plain Book" now?"

Chu Shan tilted his head and thought for a while: "I asked my father for a book to read before, and this was given to me by my father." ”

Sima Jin flipped through the book in his hand, and the blank space inside was full of small characters. Sima Jin couldn't help but glance at Chu Ye more.

He returned the book to Chu Shan: "Do you know what you mean by that sentence?" ”

Chu Shan thought about it and answered half-understood.

After listening to her explanation, Chu Ye on the side also put down the book in his hand, took out a piece of paper from the side, and buried his head in not knowing what was written.

Sima Jin looked at the big and the small, and consciously acted as Chu Shan's teacher.

"Kosugi, there is another sentence after this sentence, 'If you don't meet it, you won't be able to do it.'" That is to say, once the time comes and you take action, you can make a contribution and become a great minister. If it is not the right time, it is just an indifferent end. ”

Sima Jin put down the book and glanced at Chu Shan. Seeing that her eyes were still full of confusion, she changed to a simpler explanation: "It's the times that make heroes." ”

Chu Shan suddenly realized, happily opened the book again, pointed to one of the small words and asked Sima Jin: "What did Daddy mean just now?" ”

"When the time comes, you can act immediately. If you miss this opportunity, there will be no second time. ”

Chu Ye raised his head, picked up the paper he had just written, dried it, and handed it to Chu Shan.

"You... Dad is right just now, the success of great people in history is not only due to their ability and political integrity, but more importantly, they know how to take advantage of the situation and act when the time comes. If the dragon has no clouds, it will become an insect, and if the tiger has no wind, it will be a dog. By properly grasping the opportunity, grasping the initiative in a timely manner, and taking advantage of the situation, we can turn unprofitable into advantageous and passive into active. ”

Chu Ye couldn't help but pause a little when he said the word "Dad". This is the result of her discussion with Sima Jin.

Chu Shan called Sima Jin's father and called her father.

Although she didn't know what "Dad" meant, since it was used to address Sima Jin, it didn't matter what it was called.

Chu Ye glanced at Sima Jin, who calmly picked up the half-peeled apple and continued to peel it.

"It's like Mencius once said, 'If you have wisdom, it is better to take advantage of the situation.'" ”

Sima Jin added, cut off a piece of pulp, and sent it to Chu Ye's mouth.

Chu Ye said "um" in agreement, while Chu Shan, who was on the side, stared at the half apple in Sima Jin's hand.

With a "snap", Chu Ye rolled the book into a roll and gently patted it on Chu Shan's head. Chu Shan covered his forehead and looked at Chu Ye aggrievedly.

"Did you hear what I said?"

"I heard it, I heard it!" Chu Shan replied anxiously, and then changed his words, and said coquettishly to Sima Jin: "Dad, I want to eat apples too!" ”

Sima Jin glanced at her, cut off a piece of pulp, and sent it to Chu Ye's mouth again.

"This is your daddy's apple, I don't dare to call the shots."

Chu Shan bit his lip, and rushed to Chu Ye's side with a "rub", the fluffy hair curls just touched Chu Ye's jaw, and Chu Ye couldn't help laughing.

"Daddy, Daddy! Kosugi also wants to eat apples. ”

Chu Ye straightened her head, and stretched out another hand to take the paper that was handed to her just now: "If you can write down everything on this page tomorrow, I'll ask your dad to cut a big one for you!" ”

"Really!"

"Of course it's true!"

Chu Shan snatched the paper, shrunk it to the side and silently carried it.

Chu Ye subconsciously glanced at Sima Jin, but saw that the other party was also staring at her with warmth. Suddenly blushing and bowing his head.
