The Qin Dynasty entered the game with love.

Ying Ji's mahjong partners have changed recently: Liu Bang, Yuan Ge, and Yue Zhi.

Yuezhi was the child we rescued last time. Although she was 14 years old, she looked like a 10-year-old child. She was obviously malnourished. After she was washed and changed, we discovered that she had purple eyes, which startled everyone around her.

Ying Ji had seen Zi Mou in real life. To be honest, paired with her silver hair, she had an indescribable mysterious allure. In addition, the beauty mark at the corner of her eye made her quite endearing.

The Yuezhi people had a stress reaction after leaving Yingji, so they simply taught her how to play mahjong. After all, playing cards with Han Fei and Bai Changchuan was really a nightmare; they kept losing and never won.

Liu Bang loved to play around, and he was comfortable with her eating, drinking, and having fun. He even passed her cards when they became familiar with each other, putting Ying Ji in a position where she would win some and lose some, but she would win more often.

Tuanzi, lying on Yingji's lap, was also happily watching the cards, and occasionally she would mentally discuss things with Yingji.

This hand was exceptionally lucky; I started with three 8s of Wan, three 6s of Tiao, three 1s of Ji, and one 1 of Wan.

The dumpling was very proud: [Host, I told you my luck would be good with me around. See? Pretty impressive, right?]

Ying Ji vigorously rubbed the fox's fur: "Tuanzi, you're amazing! Winning this ten thousand was a piece of cake."

Liu Bang had a good hand, and after thinking for a moment, he said, "Eighty thousand."

"Bang bang bang!!"

Ying Ji excitedly made a "kong" (a set of four identical tiles), and drew a tile—a six of bamboo: "Hahaha, another kong! My luck is on fire, there's no stopping me!"

Draw another card—90,000—and casually discard it.

Liu Bang: "Gang! — One of Bamboo"

Ying Ji exclaimed excitedly again: "Awesome!!!!!!!!!!"

Draw one last card—ten thousand.

Ying Ji, hands on her hips, exclaimed excitedly, "The chosen one! The chosen one! See that? He's won!"

Yuan Ge didn't play a single card, but that didn't dampen her spirits.

After finishing the game, Ying Ji felt her back and waist aching, so she went for a walk after the game ended.

Looking at this yellow land, I still feel a bit emotional. After all the separations and reunions, we are still one family after thousands of years.

Yuan Ge followed and draped the cloak over himself: "Princess, it's getting chilly lately, so wear something warm. You mentioned you were going to Huaiyang; you should arrive tomorrow."

Ying Ji felt very strange about Sishui. It was a place where so many talented people gathered. It seemed that there was a destiny at play. Almost all the famous people who followed Liu Bang to conquer the world were here, except for Zhang Liang.

The day passed quickly. Fan Kuai spent his days practicing horse stance and mostly recuperating from his injuries, except for eating and drinking. Liu Bang, on the other hand, made sure to show his face every day, hoping to make Ying Ji remember him and prevent her from forgetting him once they arrived in Xianyang.

Upon receiving news of the arrival of the Lord of Danyang, the magistrate of Huaiyin County brought out all the cards he could muster, and the gatekeepers were all handsome and popular with women.

When the magistrate of Huaiyang County saw Ying Ji from afar, he bowed and greeted her, until he came closer and asked her to stand up.

"Your Excellency Danyang's presence is an honor to our humble abode. I wonder how many days you will stay? I would like to host a welcoming banquet for you."

Ying Ji didn't want to make a big fuss: "No need, I'll stay for a few days and then leave to see how things are going in my jurisdiction."

The magistrate of Huaiyang County considered himself incorruptible and had never accepted bribes, so he was naturally not afraid. He invited the people to the city, where a row of houses stood neatly arranged.

Ying Ji strolled around and went to the county school, where she listened to a few lessons.

To be honest, I didn't understand it, but I was deeply shocked.

The teacher was sitting at the head of the class, and there were many students below.

Just then, a man dressed in a scholar's robe came to study and asked, "Teacher, may I ask where you would like to sit?"

The teacher shook his head: "Don't know how to conduct yourself? Let me ask you, a wise man thinks of the principles behind his actions and the source of his drink. How did you end up at Chongqi Academy?"

I came by car.

"You arrived by car? Then find a seat in the back and sit with your classmate!"

Yes, teacher.

"Ah! My friend! A wise person uses resources appropriately and considers the tools they employ. So, were you riding in an oxcart or a horse-drawn carriage?"

"carriage"

"Oh! So you can sit in the first three rows? Is it a carriage pulled by one horse or two horses?"

"It was two carriages with three horses."

"Oh! Then sit in the first three rows."

.........

Ying Ji can only say that the story of Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai has been replicated, but the truth is even more absurd. What kind of disciples can such a teacher produce? It is truly misleading and detrimental to the younger generation.

I wonder if we should also establish a teacher qualification examination system. Anyone can be pulled out and become a teacher, but how many will actually pass the exam? True teachers deserve praise, but these corrupt scholars are quite frightening.

Ying Ji remembered the teacher's appearance and left to find Han Xin, who was still a child.

After Ying Ji left, Yuezhi waited alone in the carriage and heard strange noises coming from the box.

He cautiously gripped the hidden hairpin, opened the box, and found only some children's toys, nothing much. But the board was vibrating slightly, and he could faintly hear a child crying.

The Yuezhi then carefully took out the items and rummaged through them for a while.

"pat"

The box's hidden compartment opened, and Fusu's face was flushed from crying. Upon seeing the Yuezhi with silver hair and purple eyes, he immediately threw himself into her arms and cried.

"Waaah, Auntie is so mean! She couldn't find me. Being locked in this box is so scary, but I can't open it."

The little guy cried and complained, tears streaming down his face.

This attracted Yuan Ge, who had returned to retrieve his clothes. Upon seeing Fusu crying miserably, she exclaimed, "Your Highness Fusu, what are you doing here?"

Yuan Ge quickly checked the person over and found that their forehead was hot, indicating a fever, and their little tummy was rumbling from hunger.

Yuan Ge took out the pastries and tea from the side.

When Fusu saw the food, he stopped crying and stuffed one in each hand into his mouth. He ate so fast that he almost choked. Yuezhi patted his back to help him catch his breath: "Are you the princess's nephew?"

Fusu nodded repeatedly.

"Then what are you doing in the box? It's been almost four or five days, and you've been in the box the whole time?"

Fusu ate more slowly and stopped talking.

Yuan Ge entrusted Fusu to the care of the Yuezhi and hurriedly went to inform Ying Ji.

Ying Ji was playing with Han Xin, who was asking for candy, when she heard Fu Su in the carriage, and her head started buzzing.

No longer caring about anything else, his face darkened, he gave the candy to Han Xin and hurriedly left.

Han Xin went home with the candy in his hand.

He handed the half-eaten candy to his mother.

Han's mother gently took a bite: "My son is so good. I'll eat it all, and you can have the rest."

The milk candy was sweet, but Han's mother felt even sweeter. Han Xin was well-behaved from a young age and loved to study. His father died early, leaving only the mother and son behind.

Knowing that the teacher would require a whole piece of cured meat and a certain amount of grain as tuition, she decided to try her best to save up.

Han Xin watched his mother's back as she helped others wash clothes, took a bite of the candy, and used the remaining candy to exchange for two fried cakes from the village chief's son.

With a warm fried dough stick in his arms, Han Xin, his short legs tucked in, just wanted to get home as soon as possible.

As a result, they were blocked by three children.

The tall and strong one stood in the middle, the slender and tall one on the left, and the short one on the right.

Upon seeing Han Xin, the tall, strong boy pushed him to the ground.

"You fatherless brat, don't you know how to ask me a question when you see me?"

Han Xin remained silent, got up, and tried to leave.
