Huo Changhe was confused and asked Yan Ruyu in a low voice: "What is Brother Pi? What kind of brother is that?"

Yan Ruyu: "...It must be some terminology used by the abbot, I'm not sure."

Huo Changhe nodded: "The words of the eminent monk are so profound, it's normal for us to not understand them."

Yan Ruyu: That’s not necessary.

She changed the topic: "Have you met Chang Heng and the others?"

"We're about to go," Huo Changhe said, carrying a small cloth bag, "Would you like to go with us? Let them do the work."

"I said I would make it with my mother. She will make the noodles and I will make the braised noodles. You go and play with them for a while."

Huo Changhe had no choice but to go alone.

The three little ones were playing with a small puppet. The small toy that Yan Ruyu brought back last time was similar to a small shadow puppet. Huo Changheng controlled it. Huo Qinxiang and Rui Geer looked on in fascination.

The little puppet started to move, its eyes widened in great surprise.

Huo Changhe came over with a smile: "Is it fun?"

When the three of them saw him, they ran over quickly. Huo Changxu asked, "Brother, where is the fairy sister-in-law?"

Huo Qinxiang asked: "Uncle Prince, where are Aunt Fairy?"

Rui Ge's big eyes rolled around, he turned around and ran without saying a word.

Huo Changhe reached out and hugged him: "Don't worry, she's busy, making delicious food for you. She's occupied with her hands and can't play with you. After dinner, you can play for a while."

Brother Rui nodded, and Huo Changhe put him down, opened the small cloth bag he brought, and placed it on the small stone table.

There was a table full of food and fun, and Huo Changheng still acted like a young adult, letting the two little ones pick first.

Brother Rui took a look at the small wooden ball and looked up at Huo Changhe.

Huo Changhe touched his head: "Whatever, you can take whatever you like."

Rui Ge picked up the small wooden ball. His hands were too small to hold it with one hand. He had to hold it with two hands. His eyes were wide open, full of curiosity and joy.

"If you like playing, I'll give it to you," Huo Changhe comforted him, "Go and play."

Brother Rui held the small wooden ball and ran to the tree to play alone without caring about other food.

Huo Qinxiang carefully classified the ingredients of the snacks: "Uncle Heng likes this, Brother Rui likes this, and this. I'll just keep these two pieces."

Huo Changheng allocated another half of his share to her: "These are for you."

"No," Huo Qinxiang refused, pinching her round face, "I have gained a lot of weight. My mother said that I won't be able to wear my new winter coat anymore. I haven't worn it yet, so I can't wear it." ,Pity."

"I can't eat too much," Huo Changheng said seriously, "My second brother said that you should be hungry for a while. If you eat too much, your brain will become confused."

Huo Changheng raised his eyebrows slightly: "Is this what your second brother told you?"

"Yes."

Huo Changhe flicked his forehead: "It's time for you to grow, unlike him, and besides, I won't let you eat it all at once."

Huo Changheng and Huo Qinxiang looked at each other and quickly put away their food.

Brother Rui ran over with a look of joy and pride and held it in his hands. Huo Changhe leaned down to look at it, and couldn't help but be slightly surprised.

The small wooden ball had been opened. Rui Ge moved his little hand, and the wooden ball began to change its shape in his hand.

Huo Changhe squatted in front of him and stared at his little hands. His short and fat fingers were extremely flexible. He stared at the wooden ball with a focused expression.

Huo Changheng and Huo Qinxiang also opened their mouths in shock.

Until Brother Rui stopped, the two of them hugged each other: "Brother Rui, you are so awesome!"

"Why are your hands so flexible!"

"A hundred times more powerful than us."

"Yes, prodigy brother."

Brother Rui's face was red, but his eyes were shining. He looked at them and then at Huo Changhe.

Huo Changhe touched his little face: "He is indeed very powerful. Brother Rui is smart and has better hands. The princess will be very happy to know about it."

Rui Ge smiled very slowly, with two small dimples on his lips.

Huo Changhe secretly sighed: These three children really like Ruyu more.

There was the sound of footsteps outside the Moon Gate. Huo Changhe turned around and saw Sima Ru walking over with his hands behind his back.

He was still humming a tune and mumbling, not knowing what he was singing.

Obviously, he didn't expect Huo Changhe to be here. When he saw clearly, he straightened his back and said, "Your Majesty."

"Mr. Sima." Huo Changhe nodded slightly and looked at him.

Although the clothes he wears are not as shabby as before, they are still very casual and do not pay attention to matching or style and materials. His hair is combed neatly than before, and it is still the same wooden hairpin.

Sima Ru cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, please don't call me that. I'm just a commoner, and I can't afford it."

"You can just call me Da Ru."

Huo Changhe: "..."

"Are you still used to it here?"

"It's a good habit. Everyone treats me well," Sima Ru said with a smile. "To be honest with you, Prince, I haven't lived like this for many years. I always live alone. Although I am free and worry-free, sometimes It’s true that I feel a little lonely. Now I’m with everyone, it’s lively, and it’s good.”

"Thank you very much to the prince and princess for taking me in."

"I'm afraid the road ahead will be more difficult," Huo Changhe warned in advance. "When we leave our place and head to the northwest, the road is difficult and the weather is getting colder. Before leaving, we still need to prepare more clothes. If we don't have enough money, you can find Silver ingots.”

"Yes, I have money," Sima Ru said, feeling a little embarrassed. "I was poor before, but Beibei's storytelling made me a lot of money. That boy was benevolent and did not treat me badly."

"Where are you from, sir? His accent sounds like he's not from Lincheng."

"Well, I don't have any family. I have been an orphan since I was a child. I was taken in by others for a while. Then a disaster hit me. Life was not easy for them. I couldn't take care of myself, let alone me. I had no choice but to do it myself. Go out and make a living.”

Sima Ru sighed softly: "To be honest with the prince, I also stayed in the northwest for a while. Although the weather was not very good, the land is vast and rich in resources, and there is no beauty in the pass. It is really good. I was a storyteller there and was very popular. Later. I heard that the scenery in the mainland is beautiful, the food is rich in variety, and there are many stories about talented people and beautiful women, so I wanted to come over and have a look."

"I originally planned to go back after a while, and I happened to meet the prince."

"That's right," Huo Changhe nodded as if unintentionally and said to Brother Rui, "Brother Rui, come here."

Brother Rui ran over with a small wooden ball. Sima Ru lowered his head and saw the small wooden ball, and his eyes widened: "Oh, little brother, this... did you do this?"

Brother Rui pursed his lips, grabbed the small wooden ball, hid behind Huo Changhe, and stuck his head out to look at Sima Ru.

Sima Ru stroked his beard and smiled: "It's okay, don't be afraid, little brother."

"Why haven't I met you earlier? If I had met you sooner, I would have let out a bad breath!"

Huo Changhe took advantage of the situation and asked, "What do you mean by this?"

Sima Ru slapped his thigh: "My lord, I don't know. This little ball was given to me by an old man. He also laughed at me, saying that I couldn't even open it."

"I tried," he gritted his teeth, "but it really can't be opened."
