"Old lady, this slave is just a maid, not worthy of the young master at all!"
Hong Xiu quickly explained at this time.
"Silly boy, how can we be worthy of each other? Back then, Zhou'er's mother and my son..."
When the old lady said this, she suddenly seemed to realize something was wrong, so she quickly stopped talking.
"Ahem, grandma, I have something I want to talk to you about alone. Is that okay?"
Ye Jiuzhou said at this time.
"sure!"
"Come on, let's go to the house and talk!"
The old lady said, pulling Ye Jiuzhou towards the house.
"Hongxiu, you stay here first!"
After Ye Jiuzhou warned him, he followed the old lady to the room.
In the quiet small room, as soon as the old lady walked in, she grabbed a handful of gummy candies for Ye Jiuzhou and said that these were Ye Jiuzhou's favorite candies when he was a child!
Ye Jiuzhou smiled and put the candies in his pocket.
"Zhou'er, what do you want to ask me when you come back today?"
After finishing his work, the old lady sat down and looked at Ye Jiuzhou and asked.
"To be honest, I want to ask grandma, did our Ye clan offend the imperial city sixteen years ago?"
As soon as these words came out.
The old lady was suddenly startled and closed her mouth tightly!
"grandmother?"
Seeing the old lady's reaction, Ye Jiuzhou realized that something was getting more and more wrong about what happened to him sixteen years ago.
After a long silence, the old lady slowly raised her head and looked into Ye Jiuzhou's eyes: "Why do you suddenly ask this?"
"Because I want to know the answer! Even more, I want to know why he did this sixteen years ago!"
he!
Naturally, it refers to Ye Qingtian!
As the old lady of the Ye clan, the old lady certainly knows it well.
After sighing, the old lady said: "Do you still hate your father in your heart?"
Ye Jiuzhou was silent!
Silence represents acquiescence!
"Actually, kid, you shouldn't hate me!" the old lady suddenly sighed.
"In fact, your father suffered a lot and was under a lot of pressure about what happened sixteen years ago! For so many years, he never let me tell you, just to... protect you!"
The old lady was asked, and finally began to slowly uncover the dusty memories of sixteen years ago.
"protect me?"
Ye Jiuzhou's voice showed a hint of confusion.
The old lady nodded.
"Zhou'er, do you know what happened in Kyoto on the day you were born?"
born?
When asked about this, Ye Jiuzhou shook his head.
"I remember that the year you were born was the Year of Gengzi, an auspicious year for China! However, on the day you were born, an unprecedented earthquake occurred in Kyoto. The earthquake spread hundreds of kilometers, so that three-thirds of Kyoto One of the buildings collapsed, and thousands of people died in the earthquake!" The old lady slowly raised one eye, looking into the distance and recalling the past.
Big earthquake?
Ye Jiuzhou was shocked.
Because no one had ever mentioned this to him since he was a child, let alone that such a disaster had happened on the day he was born.
"Grandma, why has no one ever mentioned this to me since I was a child?"
Ye Jiuzhou asked.
"Because I strictly forbid them from saying it!" the old lady said.
"You?" Ye Jiuzhou became increasingly puzzled.
The old lady nodded.
"I heard from the older generation that only when the real dragon comes to the world will major disasters appear in the world, because this is called: the real dragon descends to the earth!"
When the old lady said this, she paused and continued.
"In addition to the earthquake, Zhou'er, did you know that that day, countless strange rainbows appeared in all directions in Kyoto? Those rainbows surrounded our Leaf Clan, like auspicious clouds descending from the sky!"
"It was also on that day that you were born crying!"
The old lady recalled the scenes of Ye Jiuzhou's birth as a child, with an unprecedented happy and gratified smile on her face.
The more Ye Jiuzhou listened, the more confused he became.
Because since he was a child, no one has ever mentioned to him, what kind of big earthquake? What auspicious rainbow?
"It was also on that day that the story of the emergence of a real dragon in our Ye clan began to be spread among the world!"
When the old lady said this, she sighed!
"On the seventh day after you were born, I remember that a black-clothed monk came to our Leaf Clan!"
"That monk in black had huge ears and walked like the wind. I remember that day, when he came, he was standing by the thousand-year-old tree in our back garden, looking at your mother and you with strange eyes!"
"At that time, our entire Ye Clan thought that this person was just an ordinary monk and didn't pay much attention! But we never expected that the first time he saw you, he said such a sentence, that sentence is: Really The dragon comes to the world and takes over the world!"
When the old lady said this, Ye Jiuzhou's mind suddenly shook!
A true dragon comes to the world and takes over the world?
How could Ye Jiuzhou not know the weight of this sentence?
"Grandma, why has no one ever told me all this?"
Ye Jiuzhou asked with a trembling voice.
"Because this is taboo, no one dares to say it! No one dares to mention it! Including your father!"
The old lady sighed.
Ye Jiuzhou understood now.
No wonder no one has ever mentioned anything about his childhood to him in all these years!
No one even mentioned to him what kind of earthquake or what kind of auspicious clouds?
It turns out that no one dared to mention it!
"Child, you asked me just now, have our Leaf Clan ever offended the Imperial City? This old woman can tell you truthfully, our Leaf Clan has never thought of this, let alone done this!"
"As for what the Imperial City will think? That's their business!"
"But I, the Ye Clan, am worthy of China and worthy of heaven and earth!"
Hearing what the old man said, Ye Jiuzhou didn't ask any more questions!
Because he almost knows the answer in his heart!
"Thank you grandma for telling me this!"
Ye Jiuzhou stood up and bowed to the old lady!
The old lady looked at Ye Jiuzhou lovingly: "My child, now that you have returned to Kyoto, your reputation will spread again, and the next road will be even more difficult!"
"Listen to grandma and reconcile with your father!"
"In the past sixteen years, others have not understood his suffering, but as a mother, I understand!"
"Next, no matter who wants to deal with you, your father and our entire Leaf Clan will protect you! Even if my Leaf Clan is exterminated!"
Hearing what the old lady said, Ye Jiuzhou bowed to the old lady!
"Don't worry grandma!"
"You don't have to worry about my affairs! You just need to take good care of yourself!"
When the old lady heard this, she said: "Hey! Stubborn! He is exactly the same as your father!"
"Sorry grandma, today, I already know the answer I want to know! It's time for me to go!"
Ye Jiuzhou is leaving after saying this!
"Leaving so soon?"
The old lady's face showed great reluctance!
"Um!"
Seeing that Ye Jiuzhou was really going to leave, the old lady didn't say anything more. She just said, "Since you want to leave, grandma won't stop you! But remember, you will always be a descendant of my Ye family!"
Ye Jiuzhou didn't speak. After bowing to the old lady one last time, he turned and left the room.
