When Xu Jin stepped into the back house of the governor of Nantou City, the pretty maid rushed out of the house in early spring, tears of excitement, and called out in surprise: "Master! Summer! You're finally back! ”

"Sister, we're back, people miss you so much!" It has been more than two months since the two sisters rushed forward to hug and hugged each other, and the two sisters have not been separated for so long since they were born.

It is said that Xu Jin originally planned to take the early spring and early summer to Nanyang together, but the day before departure, He Zhi'er, who had been injured and in a coma, finally woke up, Xu Jin was worried that the two new maids would not be able to take care of him, so he left the always careful early spring to take care of He Zhi'er.

At this moment, a thin girl came out of the house, stood at the doorway and looked timidly in this direction, wanting to come but not daring. Chu Chun hurriedly beckoned and said softly, "Miss Zhi'er, come here." ”

"Oh!" The thin girl walked over obediently, but she hid behind Chu Chun like a scared person, and while looking at Xu Jin and Wang Cuiqiao, she asked in a low voice, "Sister Chu Chun, who are they?" ”

Xu Jin chuckled in his heart, carefully glanced at the thin girl in front of him, confirmed that it was He Zhi'er, and couldn't help frowning his sword eyebrows and asked, "Early spring, Xiao Mo...... What's wrong with Zhi'er? Why don't you even know me? ”

Chu Chun took He Zhi'er's hand, doted on the bangs on her forehead, and said pityingly: "Master, Zhi'er has lost her soul, and most of the previous events can't be remembered. ”

Wang Cuiqiao, Chu Xia, and Qiu Yan all cried softly, all showing pity.

Xu Jin couldn't help but suddenly realize that He Zhi'er had amnesia, but I don't know if it was temporary or permanent, but forgetting the past may not be a good thing for her, but it's a pity that she is a firearms genius.

Looking at the little girl in front of him with a pale face and a weak face, Xu Jin couldn't help but feel pity, and subconsciously stepped forward to touch her brain, but who knew that the latter suddenly shrank into Chu Chun's arms, trembling with fear, and his eyes were full of horror.

Xu Jin's movements and expressions suddenly froze, and he retracted his hand in embarrassment, is there anything terrible about himself?

Chu Chun hurriedly comforted: "Miss Zhi'er, don't be afraid, he is your brother and will not hurt you." ”

He Zhi'er stopped trembling when she heard this, but she still looked at Xu Jin a little scared. Xu Jin smiled pleasantly: "Zhi'er, I'm your brother, do you remember the Arabic numerals I taught you?" ”

He Zhi'er blinked, showing a thoughtful expression, and Xu Jin couldn't help but ask, "Did you remember?" ”

He Zhi'er shook her head weakly, and gently shook Chu Chun's hand and said coquettishly: "Sister Chu Chun, I want to eat candied fruit, I want to eat candied fruit, you promised Zhi'er in the morning." ”

Chu Chun said dotingly: "Okay, go eat, Xiaocui, take the candied fruit to Miss Zhi'er." ”

A little maid who was standing respectfully on the side hurriedly stepped forward to take He Zhi'er's hand and said softly: "Miss follow up with the maid's house, and the maid will bring you the secret candies." ”

So, He Zhi'er jumped up and followed the girl named Xiaocui. A strange look flashed in Xu Jin's upper middle, and Chu Chun sighed and explained: "Master, Zhi'er has not only forgotten the past, but also ...... It seems that the mind has changed back to the way it was eight or nine years old, what a pitiful! ”

Xu Jin couldn't help but move in his heart, remembering that he had seen such cases on TV before, some people selectively forgot part of their memories due to external stimuli, and this memory was often something he was unwilling to face, this is a kind of false amnesia phenomenon of self-avoidance, and I don't know if this is the case with He Zhier. Of course, it is also possible that He Zhier's brain cells are damaged, this situation is basically difficult to recover, and she will maintain this state of "eight or nine" years old for the rest of her life.

Xu Jin sighed secretly, I hope it's the former, of course, no matter what the situation is, with Xu Jin's current conditions, ten more or eight He Zhi'er can afford it.

…………

On summer nights, the sound of insects chirping outside the window, and the fresh breeze brings the fragrance of pomegranate flowers into the house. After bathing, Xu Jin sat behind the desk in the study, transcribing the notebook stroke by stroke.

Xu Jin wrote a total of two notebooks, both of which were directly sent to the little emperor Zhu Houxi in the form of secret music. One letter was about the preparation for the establishment of the Nanyang Metropolitan Protectorate, in which Xu Jin described in detail the purpose and various benefits of controlling the Nanyang, and attached a plan for the establishment of the Nanyang military system, I believe that Zhu Houxi's kid will be very interested. In fact, under Xu Jin's guidance, Zhu Houxi's enthusiasm for expanding the territory is not ordinarily high.

The other letter is about the opening of the sea ban, and to this day, Xu Jin feels that the conditions for the opening of the sea ban are ripe, and Zhu Houxi has already sat on the throne; Second, the charms and spirits along the coast of the Ming Dynasty have been cleared, and the waterways are safer than ever; Third, the food problem will also be resolved.

It is that everything is ready, only the east wind is owed!

Of course, if the ban on the sea is proposed directly in the court, the resistance should be very great, after all, the power of Yang Tinghe and other conservatives should not be underestimated, so Xu Jin plans to write a secret fold to discuss with Zhu Houxi first, and when the two of them reach a consensus, they will publicly submit a letter requesting the opening of the sea ban.

As the so-called time is different from the past, after this battle that lasted more than a year to exterminate the Japanese and surrender, Xu Jin led the army across the sea frontier, not only swept away the Ming coastal areas of the Japanese and pirates, but also beat the Westerners to the ground, and even took down the Manraka who was thousands of miles away, as if becoming the number one person in the Ming military, the fledgling Governor Xu has been fully qualified to break hands with Yang Tinghe, the first assistant.

Xu Jin finished transcribing the notebook and was about to put down his pen to dry the ink, but there was a gentle knock on the study door and asked casually, "Who?" ”

Outside, however, no one answered, except for another gentle knock on the door. Xu Jin frowned, there are pro-soldiers and brocade guards guarding outside, outsiders should not be able to break in easily, if it is a family member, who will be silent like this, unless......

Xu Jin's heart moved, and he said in a slow tone: "The door is open, come in!" ”

As soon as the words came down, the door was gently pushed open, and sure enough, I saw He Zhi'er standing timidly outside the door, the little girl was obviously also newly bathed, wearing a pink palace skirt, her eyes were like paint, she was very good-looking when she changed into women's clothes, but she was too thin, as if a gust of wind could blow her away, if she could grow more meat, she was definitely an excellent beauty embryo.

Xu Jin beckoned pleasantly: "It turned out to be Zhi'er, come in!" ”

He Zhi'er hesitated, walked into the study with a notebook, came to the bookcase timidly, and looked at Xu Jin timidly, both childish and cute.

Xu Jin glanced at the notebook He Zhi'er was holding, and immediately recognized that it was the lesson plan he had given her for class before, so he smiled and said, "Zhi'er, is there anything you can't understand?" ”

He Zhi'er shook her head and plucked up the courage to ask, "You...... Is it really my brother? ”

Xu Jin nodded, and said seriously: "Naturally, it's true, can my brother still have a fake?" ”

He Zhi'er glanced at the undried ink on the bookcase spread out by Xu Jin, opened the lesson plan and compared the handwriting again, and suddenly showed an innocent smile and said: "The words are the same, it turns out that you are really my brother." ”

Xu Jin was stunned for a moment, and then laughed heartily: "It's more true than pearls, come on, come on, brother will test you, see if you have been lazy in the past two months." ”

Xu Jin said and pulled out a blank piece of rice paper, and put a formula on it: 123+345=?

He Zhi'er tilted his head and thought for a while, and soon picked up the pen and wrote down the three Arabic numerals of 468, Xu Jin couldn't help but be secretly happy, and wrote a few more complex formulas, and He Zhi'er easily wrote the accurate answer.

Xu Jin touched He Zhi'er's brain with relief, fortunately, she didn't become an idiot, not only did she remember the knowledge she had taught her, but she seemed to be even more powerful, she could even mentally calculate some complex multiplication and division, and her talent was still there!
