Chapter 75 Aren’t you curious about why I know all this?

The sisters-in-law's praise for He Zhiran was quickly shattered by her words.

"Mother, sisters-in-law, these scraps of cloth were given to me for free by the owner of the cloth shop. I thought it would be a good idea to bring them back to mend my clothes, so I didn't refuse."

"Ninth brother's sister-in-law, aren't these scraps of cloth used to make shoes?" Second sister-in-law shouted.

"Make shoes?" He Zhiran was completely confused. How could he make shoes with such a small piece of cloth?

It's no wonder she didn't know. The original owner hated women's work and didn't let the servants around her do it. Therefore, she knew nothing about the materials used to make shoes.

He Zhiran is a soul from thousands of years later. The shoes she wears are either distributed by the army or bought by her outside. How could she understand these things?

The second sister-in-law circled around He Zhiran as if she had discovered a new world.

"Ninth sister-in-law, don't tell me you've never even seen shoes made?"

He Zhiran spread his hands and made up an excuse.

"When I was at home, I spent all day studying medicine with medical books, so I didn't have much time to look at these things."

Thinking of the ninth brother's sister-in-law's excellent medical skills, the sisters-in-law believed her excuse without a doubt.

How could you have learned such good medical skills without putting in more effort? It’s no wonder that your ninth brother’s wife can’t do needlework.

After a few days of wandering, the sisters-in-law have gradually accepted this kind of life.

He carried a bag full of rags out of the car, prepared dinner, and started to mend shoe soles.

The food was placed on the cart. He Zhiran kept enough roast chicken and roast duck for his family, and distributed the rest to the officials and the Xie and Fang families.

The Xie and Fang families naturally expressed their gratitude profusely and offered to pay the money.

Seeing how eager they were to give him money, He Zhiran wanted to say:

Eat now! Don't feel stressed, these are all treated by the Dog Emperor.

However, she only thought about this in her heart and didn't dare to say it openly.

After some polite exchanges, He Zhiran forcibly sent away those who tried to force money on her, and she finally had some peace and quiet.

Although the sisters-in-law liked the taste of the ninth sister-in-law's cooking, thinking of her hard work today, they urged her to go to the tent to rest, and took some meat and vegetables from the car to cook dinner.

When I returned to the tent, I saw Mo Jiuye sitting there with a blade of grass in his mouth, wondering what he was thinking about.

She simply sat next to him, her mind revolving around the description of Mo Jiuye's life in the unofficial history.

At the same time, she was also thinking about how to secretly let Mo Jiuye know what she knew.

Mo Jiuye looked at He Zhiran who was silent, and took the initiative to speak.

"You've worked hard today. If you feel uncomfortable, I can give you a massage."

He Zhiran quite agreed with Mo Jiuye's massage techniques. When she heard him offer to give her a massage, she felt a sudden pain in her back as if by reflex.

"Don't tell me, I really feel a little uncomfortable."

Mo Jiuye walked around behind her without saying a word and started pressing from her shoulders.

He Zhiran glanced around and saw that everyone in the family was busy and no one was paying attention to them, so he spoke:

"I went to Pingyuan County today and met someone you wouldn't expect."

"Who is it?" Mo Jiuye's tone was still a little stiff, but He Zhiran was already used to it.

"Nan Qi!"

"Nan Qi?" Mo Jiuye was obviously a little surprised: "What is he doing here?"

This was also the question in He Zhiran's mind.

Fortunately, this part is recorded in unofficial history.

She was thinking about how to tell Mo Jiuye without making him suspicious.

After much thought, He Zhiran was finally defeated by himself.

She racked her brains but couldn't come up with a reasonable excuse. However, since it was such a big thing, she felt it necessary to let Mo Jiuye know.

Since he wanted to tell Mo Jiuye all this, He Zhiran decided to go all out and tell this story first to test the waters.

"If I tell you that I know Nan Qi's purpose for coming to Pingyuan County, would you find it strange, or even suspect that I might be a spy sent here by Nan Qi?"

Mo Jiuye answered without a second thought: "If you were Nan Qi's man, I would have died long ago. Why would he have gone to such great lengths to send someone to assassinate me?"

"Aren't you curious about why I know all this?"

In this regard, Mo Jiuye did not hide his true thoughts.

"I am indeed very curious. You said that everyone has their own secrets. I still say the same thing. As long as you don't do anything detrimental to the Mohist School, I will not take the initiative to explore your secrets."

This was the second time He Zhiran had heard him say this.

Moreover, he really did what he said and never asked questions that he shouldn't have asked.

After the test, He Zhiran spoke slowly.

"A few years ago, a master did divination for Nanqi and said that a noble person would appear in Pingyuan County in August of this year."

Mo Jiuye thought it was a bit ridiculous to listen to a master's divination to find a noble person, but it was not surprising that such a thing happened to Nan Qi.

Nan Qi didn't know when he started to believe in these divination techniques more and more, so much so that for a while he was looking for fortune tellers everywhere to read his fortune.

Therefore, he had no doubt about what He Zhiran said.

Although he couldn't ask He Zhiran why he knew all this, Mo Jiuye felt that he could ask some other questions.

"Do you think he can find that so-called noble person?"

He Zhiran didn't want to hide this question.

"If I hadn't appeared in Pingyuan County today, he would have already made the acquaintance of that nobleman."

"What do you mean?" Mo Jiuye was a little confused. He couldn't figure out what this matter had to do with He Zhiran.

"His benefactor is called Fei Nanyu. He passed the imperial examination and ranked first at the age of 12. He is an extremely talented person..."

He Zhiran selectively recounted some of Fei Nanyu's experiences, how he met Nan Qi, and how he helped him ascend the throne.

Of course, she chose to keep Fei Nanyu's change of dynasty for the time being.

After all, this kind of thing was too unbelievable. On the one hand, she was worried that Mo Jiuye would not believe it, but on the other hand, she did not want him to know about these things too early.

After all, her arrival has changed a lot, and there is no guarantee that even greater changes will not occur in the future.

So much incredible information flooded into Mo Jiuye's brain, and he was now lost in thought.

The name Fei Nanyu sounded strangely familiar to him. He felt as if he had heard it somewhere before, but he couldn't remember where it was for a moment.

Seeing that Mo Jiuye didn't respond for a long time, He Zhiran thought that he didn't believe what he said.

Turning to look at him, Mo Jiuye was frowning in thought.

"Why, do you think what I said is illogical?"

Mo Jiuye shook his head: "I was wondering who Fei Nanyu is. He seems familiar."

He Zhiran did not urge him, but just quietly enjoyed Mo Jiuye's massage service.

Mo Jiuye thought for a long time.

"I remember now."

He Zhiran asked, "Where did you hear about this person?"
