In the small courtyard under the sun, the Seven Princes were wearing a plain fir scarf, and they were looking at a pile of books with their heads down, as if they didn't notice Song Yi's arrival.

It wasn't until Song Yi let out a sigh that he raised his head, revealing his haggard pale cheeks.

But the moment he saw Song Yi, there was a hint of surprise in his eyes, and he stood up excitedly, but he didn't expect his feet to be numb, and sat back in the chair

"What are you looking at?" Song Yi picked up a book on the table, which was a copy of "Zuo Biography".

The Seventh Emperor said with a guilty face, "I often hear my father say that a scholar can rule the world with half of his words, but maybe I'm too stupid, and I haven't been able to find a way to make my current situation better in the book."

Song Yi looked at the past volume by volume, there are "Spring and Autumn", "Analects", and even medical books and Buddhist classics.

He put down the book, looked at the Seven Princes with some helplessness, and said, "Scholars can indeed rule the world with half of the treatise, but not everyone can really do it. The Seven Princes are wise people, how could they fall into such a misguided path at this time? ”

The Seventh Prince's face was gloomy, and he bit his lip and didn't dare to look at Song Yi's gaze. After being silent for a long time, he lowered his head and said aggrievedly, "But I tried it, I still can't have a relationship with Zhao Min and I still can't have a relationship between men and women, and since those words, I only feel a little dirty even when I get close to her."

Song Yi let out a sigh in his heart, looked at him helplessly and said, "If you really don't like her, then forget it, but you can't alienate her, that is innocent to her, you can try to get closer to her, to learn her way of doing business, or to learn the way of governing the army from General Zhao Ke, these are better than your closed-door study." ”

"Maybe I'm just like my father said incompetent, I tried to run a rice shop on my own, but I lost money!" The Seventh Prince sighed dejectedly, and there was no trace of sparkle in his eyes.

Song Yi was a little helpless. The Seventh Prince is a little weak by nature, although he is smart, but he is easy to be soft-hearted, which is undoubtedly a fatal weakness in terms of management, and more importantly, he has no concept of money in his heart, and he can't even collect the accounts that he owes on credit, resulting in the rice shop opening like a relief station

The Seventh Prince did something wrong, and I am afraid that no one among outsiders dares to accuse, but even if he does not accuse, he himself feels ashamed in his heart after discovering the operating loss.

Over time, he even gradually had a slight estrangement with Zuo Qianqian, Ning Fanyu and others. Once this estrangement is born, it is difficult to bridge.

The Seven Princes were annoyed, and after introspection, they simply locked themselves up, trying to find a way to integrate into this society from the classics and books of the sages and ancestors.

But how much of the words in the book can be put into practice?

The failures again and again finally made the Seven Princes even more at a loss, so that he felt that the difference between him and Zhao Ze was not a little bit, and he suddenly understood that he couldn't even govern a city and a county, let alone a Jiangnan

Song Yi felt his depression and loss, so he began to tell a story.

He sat down opposite the Seventh Prince, faced him and began to speak earnestly: "There is a person who is different from everyone else in this world! Of course, none of them will be the same as anyone else in the world! I'm just saying that the man seems more lonely than the others because he doesn't even have a loved one! With no relatives and no money, he suddenly faced a strange city and a group of strange people first, and living became his only idea, and then he really survived, and he lived quite well, because after all, he had something different from ordinary people, and he used these into the ability to survive and make money"

"From living to having a lover, and then from having a lover to having a home, he has faced many strange dangers and strange enemies, but strangely, he is getting stronger and stronger! Stronger than he thought at first, as he grew stronger, he finally faced more and more enemies and dangers! Every day may be stepping on the line between life and death. Every day, he needs to move forward in a posture that never looks back, because as long as he takes a slow step, all the beauty he has at this time will disappear! ”

"What's his reason not to be stronger?"

Song Yi's tone was understated, even more like he was telling a story in a book, but the Seven Princes inexplicably felt that he was telling his own story, and he inexplicably understood the stories in the story

He looked at Song Yi with complicated eyes and asked, "Is he Mr. in the story?" ”

Song Yi didn't nod or shake his head, he just smiled and said to the Seventh Prince, "No matter who this 'he' is!" People walking in this world, there are always some things that are greater than the meaning of their own lives, such as for the people who care about themselves, for the people they care about to be greater, for more people to live, to be strong, to face opponents who are stronger than themselves at this time, this must be an interesting thing, right? ”

It was like a light suddenly being projected into the door of the heart, and the Seven Princes frowned thoughtfully, for a long, long time.

It wasn't until the little princess peeking outside the door felt bored and left that the seventh prince Zhao Qinfang finally stood up and saluted Song Yi with great dignity! He said to Song Yi very solemnly, "Qin Fang has been taught since the future, and he will definitely start to be a brave person for the sake of his family and friends in this matter, I want to try it, that feeling of facing a strong enemy, will I make myself stronger!" ”

Song Yi smiled, not avoiding the Seven Princes' salute, as if he saw some unusual light in his gaze.

The sun was slanting westward, and Song Yi said goodbye to the Seven Princes, but was stopped by the little princess outside the mansion.

"What did you say to my brother Qin Fang?"

"You've been eavesdropping, that's what I'm talking about, and then it's gone, but it's your brother Qin Fang who told me a lot of your troubles," Song Yi said jokingly.

Zhao Jingxue should have been embarrassed, but at this time she seemed to have forgotten, and just frowned and asked suspiciously, "I don't understand the story you said, but I understand some of it!" I just wanted you to tell me who that one was he? You? ”

Song Yi wanted to nod and say that it was himself, but after thinking about it carefully, he replied with some solemnity, "He in that story is me and your brother Qin Fang, maybe it will be you, as long as you are strong, everyone is 'him'"

The little princess frowned, and still seemed to understand the expression, but finally did not continue to ask, but bowed to Song Yi very seriously, "Thank you." ”

Song Yi was slightly surprised, stunned by Zhao Jingxue's behavior.

It's just that Zhao Jingxue didn't feel that there was anything wrong with her behavior at all, she said, "Now I only have Brother Qin Fang's relatives left, as long as the person who is good to him is naturally good to me, I understand this truth." ”

Song Yi looked at her immature and innocent face, and couldn't help but admire her care for the Seventh Prince. This kind of care seems to be far more than the palace affection that Song Yi imagined.
