Chapter 1, Elopement

Oh. Thinking about studying, Ye Chunqiu wore a gloomy expression. In his previous life, Ye Chunqiu hated studying, and it seems that he cannot escape this fate even after coming here

The object of elopement is, of course, Ye Chunqiu's mother, and in this clichéd story, the female protagonist is certainly not a daughter of a prominent family, but rather a very ordinary peasant woman from a humble background

Ye Chunqiu had a sudden thought and searched for keywords related to the eight-legged essay. Instantly, hundreds of thousands of articles surged into his mind, startling Ye Chunqiu and leaving him speechless. My goodness... Ye Chunqiu's heart was trembling. ... This is unbelievable...

Ye Jing on the vehicle coughed desperately, his face showing signs of dejection and appearing somewhat shabby, yet his clothes were washed to a pristine white, spotless.

Before Ye Chunqiu traveled through time, after the death of his father, his life reached its lowest point. It was at that moment that he resolutely made up his mind to participate in a certain mysterious experimental program at that time

What the hell

An old man, with his sleeves rolled up, came out trembling. When he saw the person getting off the ox cart, his mouth dropped open as wide as an egg. He looked at Ye Jing and finally exclaimed in astonishment: "The... the young master... the young master has returned"

In the early winter of the second year of the Zhengde era, a heavy snowfall unexpectedly occurred in Ningbo Prefecture

Looking at his dejected father, Ye Chunqiu could only shake his head in his heart

Now ... ... Ye Jing has finally decided to go home

Ye Chunqiu did not dare to let Ye Jing see the resistance in his heart, so he simply hid on the other side of the cart's yoke, folding his sleeves and lost in thought

It was because of elopement that Ye Chunqiu came into being, but not long after, Ye Chunqiu's mother passed away due to illness

As for the third uncle, his complexion was very pale, clearly a sign of being drained by indulgence in wine and pleasure, and even his eyes appeared listless

Light Brain

Thereafter, Ye Jing did not remarry, but instead relied on writing letters for others to support and raise Ye Chunqiu

Ye Chunqiu was momentarily taken aback as memories from his past life surged to the forefront of his mind

Next to them were some women from the household, as well as a few children of similar age to Ye Chunqiu

Such a large family... it seems quite complicated

Is this Uncle Er?

A few more miles ahead, a large mansion revealed its outline. Ye Jing sat on the cart, coughed again, squinted his eyes, and looked at the seemingly familiar mansion with a melancholic gaze. He sighed and said: "Chunqiu, thirteen years ago when your mother and I left, I secretly vowed never to return in this lifetime. Yet now, I have no choice but to come back, because you have grown older, and it is not easy for you to live outside with me. At your age, I had already participated in the county examination. Your uncle once told me: 'All pursuits are of low value, only studying is esteemed.' Now, I pass the same words to you; strive to make me proud."

Ye Chunqiu discreetly glanced at Ye Jing from the corner of his eye, only to find that Ye Jing's gaze was fixed solely on the direction of the Ye family mansion, without paying any attention to him

Alright... just hide behind him

Ye Jing waved his hand, not taking the bamboo tube, and noticing the worried expression on the child's face, looked at the child affectionately and said: "It is just a slight chill, nothing serious. We are almost there; when we see your grandfather, you must behave and not cause any trouble"

Ye Chunqiu could not help but let out a sigh in his heart; it was best that no one discovered his own quantum brain.

Does this not imply that any information from ancient times to the present can be conjured in one's mind with just a single thought?

What does this mean

Ye Chunqiu's story is quite simple; he originally did not belong to this era. In his previous life, he lost his mother early on, leaving only him and his father to rely on each other. However, due to the lack of maternal love, the previous Ye Chunqiu was utterly reckless, repeatedly disappointing his father, who hoped for his success. As a result, when his father was on the brink of death, he was still indulging in a carefree life outside. It was only when he suddenly realized his mistakes that he discovered the painful truth: a son wishes to support his parents, but they are no longer there. Not only was his own life in disarray, but he also left behind an irreparable regret.

On either side of the standing Ye Taigong were two individuals of similar age to his father. The older of the two wore a silk cap, clearly a scholar of some repute. He bore a smile on his face, yet his gaze directed at the elder carried a hint of profound significance

The so-called experiment involves injecting a so-called nanomaterial "computer" into his head, which is said to integrate the latest technology. This "light brain," which is only the size of a hair, can be implanted into the human brain and can be awakened at any time through thought. The information it carries is truly vast and comprehensive

Ye Jing stood with his hands behind his back, a smile evident in his eyes. In Ye Chunqiu's view, his father's eyes always conveyed a kind of friendly melancholy. However, Ye Chunqiu believed that beneath this calm demeanor, his father's mood must be a tumult of contrasting emotions.

Ye Chunqiu, who has lived two lives, certainly understands the importance of keeping this secret and must avoid any unusual actions that might draw attention to the abnormality

The main hall is spacious, and many people have long been standing or sitting here

A sound suddenly echoed in his mind, followed by a mechanical female voice: "Ding... The optical brain is starting up."

Ye Chunqiu could not help but be replaced by a sense of bewildering joy in his heart

In an era where all pursuits are deemed inferior, and only reading is exalted, it is no surprise that a promising young master like him would attract countless suitors, with people practically trampling each other at his doorstep. His grandfather's eyes were nearly dazzled by the options. Ultimately, he found a young lady of equal social standing... Just as he was planning to formalize the union, who would have thought that at that moment... his father eloped

In his youth, my father was a scholar from the Ningbo Prefecture High School, and my grandfather had high hopes for him. In the words of others, the young master of the Ye family was like the literary star descended to earth. His essays were adorned with floral embellishments, and in the hearts of the people from Hexi, he was seen as the future Jinshi (successful candidate in the highest imperial examination) gentleman.

The tranquil courtyard was disturbed, as if spring had suddenly arrived after a vast expanse of white snow, bringing everything back to life

As soon as he heard Ye Jing cough, the child sitting beside him quickly and skillfully took out a bamboo tube from the bundle and handed it to him, saying: "Father, drink some water"

However, Father is a very stubborn person. If he were not so obstinate, he would not have been so determined to recognize only his mother and shock the world by eloping. Now, in order to provide himself with an environment conducive to studying, he has gone so far as to bring me back to the Ye family, carrying this earnest expectation. This makes Ye Chunqiu feel somewhat heavy-hearted

Snowflakes fall in abundance, and the world appears vast and boundless

The ox cart finally came to a stop in front of the Ye family mansion, which was now covered in a thick layer of pristine white snow. Only the red lacquer plaque inscribed with 'A Family of Virtue' beneath the eaves remained vibrant with its gilded lettering.

"Father, I understand, no more nonsense," said the child, who was about eleven or twelve years old, with delicate features and a mischievous glint in his eyes. His name was Ye Chunqiu

Sitting at the head of the table, surrounded by all the stars, is naturally Ye Chunqiu's grandfather, who is also Ye Jing's father, Ye Laotai Gong

In the desolate white world, only a single ox cart leaves its tracks extending towards the direction of the Ye family in Hexi.

Ye Chunqiu, accompanied by Ye Jing, bypassed the shadow wall, passed through the moon gate, and finally entered the main hall of the Ye family

Ye Chunqiu cautiously glanced at Ye Taigong and suddenly felt that the situation was not as simple as it seemed. Ye Taigong's face was clearly filled with murderous intent; where was the joy of a father and son reunion? That expressionless face resembled an angry deity in a temple. Ye Chunqiu wanted to capture Ye Taigong's likeness in a drawing, so that during the festive seasons, he could even save the money for buying door gods.

At this moment, Ye Chunqiu was pondering: "I wonder what my grandfather is like. It is said that... my father has not returned home for thirteen years..." Upon thinking of this, Ye Chunqiu sighed; in his heart, his father was nothing short of a legend

This thing... Ye Chunqiu understands its value all too well. The light brain stored in his mind is a living treasure trove; whenever he needs it, he can even directly reference dozens of processes for manufacturing glass. Not to mention various chemical formulas, and countless ancient and modern documents from both home and abroad.

The optical brain is still here.

It has been three years since I traversed into this life of Ye Chunqiu. Thanks to a father who always shields me from the wind and rain, life has been quite good... although somewhat impoverished
