Shopkeeper Wang suddenly realized that the guests wanted to read a book. He hurriedly said: "What kind of books do you want to buy? Our Evergreen Bookstore has a complete range of books and various editions, which can definitely meet your needs."
Wei Lin nodded and said quietly: "Excuse me, please take me to the historical records storage place."
Shopkeeper Wang introduced diligently: "Master, please rest here, I will order someone to move here."
"No need," Wei Lin reached out to stop him, "Take me there."
Yunli said to the waiter: "I specialize in Lin Zhiqu's idle books about ghosts and ghosts."
The guy understood: "Take you there?"
Yunli nodded and said to Cheng Suxin: "Miss Cheng, do you want to come with me?"
Cheng Suxin smiled lightly: "Of course."
Yunli was not surprised. Ever since the Jianlai Peak attack, Cheng Suxin wanted to follow them all the time. Not only did she ask her to live with them in the carriage, but she also arranged for her to live in his own courtyard after returning to Cheng Mansion in Qianjiang.
Following the waiter to the designated area, Yunli took out a book. After reading the beginning, he knew it was a story about a little goblin entering a scholar's room at night and meeting each other. He immediately put it away and checked the other book.
She read the book very quickly, turning to the next page with one glance. The clerk thought she was looking for a book and said diligently: "Girl, what book are you looking for? I have read most of the books here. Please describe it to me." I can definitely help you find out the general content."
Yunli didn't even raise her head. She continued to scan and said, "It doesn't matter, I'll do it myself."
They don't know exactly what they are looking for, so how can they describe it to others.
Cheng Suxin said with a smile: "You really have to choose the book yourself. In addition to the content of the story, you also have to choose what you like in terms of writing style."
The clerk smiled and agreed, but he said in his heart, you blind man obviously didn't see it. The way she was flipping through the books, it was clear that she had a clear purpose and was looking for something.
Yunli agreed with Cheng Suxin's point of view, and she agreed: "Yes, stories and articles have always been like carrots and vegetables. Everyone has their own favorites. Even the same person likes different books at different times."
As she spoke, her eyes narrowed slightly, "Liu Sheng of Nanyang, looking for the traces of Princess Xiyue, went to Longyan Mountain and met a girl by chance. The girl..."
After a moment, she put down the book. This familiar beginning, at first glance, showed the life-and-death sadomasochism between the scholar and the little goblin. However, the name "Yue" had such a deep connection with her that even if she saw it in the book, she couldn't help it. Pay more attention.
After flipping through a few more volumes, they finally found a place that might be the place they were looking for, Eagle Ridge.
According to the book, Xiongying Ridge is located on the southeastern border of Nantang, surrounded by flat rivers. Only Xiongying Ridge stands out. The north peak is lush with trees, deep and quiet, and the south wall of the peak stands thousands of feet tall, which is extremely dangerous in the world.
The most amazing thing is that the mountains are like spring all year round and are full of vitality. There are all kinds of mountain mushrooms and wild vegetables, and small animals such as pheasants, hares and other small animals are everywhere in the mountains and plains.
Even in the year of great famine, Eagle Ridge is still full of vitality.
Because of this peak, the villages around Xiongying Ridge have no worries about food and clothing and a prosperous life, which is envied by many people.
Because the south of the peak is extremely dangerous and no one can climb it, if you want to enter Xiongying Ridge, you can only enter from the north. Thousands of miles away from the north of Xiongying Ridge, there is a deep valley like Jianlai Peak. Fenglin City is located at the mouth of the valley. If you want to go Xiongying Ridge must enter Fenglin City.
And all the previous lords of Fenglin City came from the villages near Xiongying Ridge, without exception.
Yunli thought about it and asked tentatively: "Is there really an Eagle Ridge in Nantang?"
"Isn't it?" Her question gave the boy hope, and he told him everything he knew about Xiongying Ridge like he was pouring beans out of a bamboo tube.
Among the many pieces of information, Yunli caught the key point. The Imperial Master's Office should also be in awe of Feng Lincheng.
She squinted her eyes, and it seemed that Eagle Ridge did have a great background.
Later, when she saw information about Eagle Ridge, she focused on it. Storytellers were particularly fond of such a strange place. There were many mentions of Eagle Ridge, but no new information was found, which made Yunli very disappointed. .
Suddenly, her hand that turned over the book paused, "In the seventh year of Zhaowu, Zhang Sheng of Jinchuan was looking for traces of Princess Xiyue..."
I glanced over and read the entire story. Apart from the opening chapter, there was no mention of Princess Xiyue in the story of the scholar and the flower demon.
Yunli closed the book and asked, "Who is Princess Xiyue? Why do I read so many story books that the scholar goes to look for her in the beginning?"
"It's just a paradigm." The clerk didn't take it seriously. "Scholars from the Xiling and Beichen dynasties especially like to start their chapters with this paradigm. Maybe there really is such a missing princess in history."
Cheng Suxin chuckled and shook her head: "I don't think so. Which emperor would give such a title to his daughter? This is obviously made up by a poor scholar."
The guy was puzzled and said, "Miss, please clarify."
Yunli smiled and said: "The rising water becomes the tide, and the falling water becomes the tide. The so-called rising tide and falling tide, Xi Yue, Luo Yue, isn't this a curse on the princess? Which courtier dares to propose such a name to the princess? Do you think you live too long?"
The ancients read books for the sake of the emperor's family. Serious readers disdained such things as storybooks for people's entertainment.
Even the poor and unsatisfied scholars are often reluctant to write scripts. The scripts were originally drafts of stories told by storytellers, so they originated from ordinary people.
Most of these people have only learned how to read and have no exposure to systematic teaching.
The word "Xiyue" sounds good, but its meaning is not good.
The guy suddenly realized: "That's it."
Ding ding ding!
There was a rush of footsteps, and the skirt of her skirt rubbed across the ground, making a rustling sound. Immediately afterwards, Yunli smelled a strange fragrance. The fragrance was really special, distant and long, with a hint of extreme burning heat.
She looked over and saw the girl in purple walking up the stairs briskly. Yunli tilted her head and said, "Miss Cheng, this is your second sister."
The smile on Cheng Suxin's lips froze slightly, and her beautiful eyebrows frowned: "Why is she here?"
Yunli definitely doesn't know this. She only met the second Miss Cheng when she arrived at Cheng's house yesterday. In Miss Cheng Er, she didn't see the slightest trace of being a lady, and she didn't know who taught her how to dress, it was neither fish nor fowl.
Miss Cheng Er has dark skin, big bones, and heroic eyebrows. If she is well-dressed, she will be a dashing little beauty. However, her dress is gentle and feminine, which is called nondescript.
Miss Cheng Er went upstairs and quickly glanced at the whole place. When she saw Cheng Suxin and the others, she turned her head away with disdain and had no intention of coming over.
Then, Yunli saw her holding up her skirt and walking towards Wei Lin, "Brother Wei Lin, so you are here."
The girl's unique brisk voice was crisp, and the girl's feelings were about to grow into a peach blossom forest. Yunli's face suddenly darkened.
Snapped!
She slapped the book in her hand on the shelf and said coldly: "Who are you calling Brother Wei Lin? What kind of sister are you? You are shameless at such a young age."
For a moment, all the customers who were choosing books in the bookstore looked over. Miss Cheng Er's face turned red instantly, with tears in her eyes, she grabbed Wei Lin's sleeve: "Brother Wei Lin, she..."
"Miss Cheng Er, please respect yourself." Wei Lin turned sideways, avoiding her hand, his delicate brows slightly furrowed.
Cheng Suxin scolded in a low voice: "Second sister, don't be rude."
With the help of the maid, he hurriedly walked over there, teaching in a low voice as he walked: "Master Wei arrived in Qianjiang yesterday, and we only met you once. How could you..."
She bit her lip, unable to speak, but the maid next to her spoke frankly: "Mr. Wei is Miss Yun's fiancée. The second lady knows that she is shameless, and shamelessly sticks to him in front of other people in public."
The two masters and servants made it clear what Miss Cheng was thinking with each word. The guests in the bookstore were all surprised. The two calls of brother Wei Lin just now were so intimate that they turned out to be the first time they met. .
This second Miss Cheng is indeed too disrespectful.
The guests' pointing fingers made Miss Cheng's face flush red, and she was filled with shame and anger. But at this moment, Cheng Suxin walked over, escaped and saluted: "My little sister is young and ignorant. Please forgive me, Mr. Wei."
"Who wants you to take care of it!" Miss Cheng couldn't help it anymore and yelled at Cheng Suxin. A flash of hatred flashed in her red eyes. She raised her voice and tore off the black cloth wrapped around Cheng Suxin's eyes, "You are just a blind man. , why should you care about me!"
The black cloth fell down, revealing a pair of blank white eyes, which made the guests who were watching the fun all retreat.
In the past, people in Qianjiang only knew that the eldest daughter of the Cheng family was born blind, but now they know exactly how she is blind.
The eyes are all gray with no black at all. He is a sky-blind person.
Cheng Suxin was stunned for a moment and hurriedly raised her sleeves to cover her eyes. The maid exclaimed and picked up the black cloth and quickly wrapped it around her again.
The blush on Miss Cheng Er's face dropped a bit, and she said proudly: "You look like this, but you still dare to fight with me."
Her contemptuous tone and disdainful eyes seemed to be looking at an unrelated beggar, which caused everyone to talk about her.
"You are so young, so vicious..."
"No respect for elder sister..."
"Miss Cheng is so pitiful..."
Miss Cheng Er's proud expression froze on her face. She didn't understand why people still defended Cheng Su when her heart and eyesight was so terrible.
I am the second young lady of the Cheng family, the apple of my father's eye. Usually when these people see me, they are very close to fawning over me, but now they dare to accuse me!
Angry and panic-stricken, she turned to look at the fairy-like young master. When she first saw him yesterday, she was shocked. How could such a delicate person be in the world? When he raised his eyebrows and chuckled, he said a poem that she had never understood before. , suddenly understood.
The water is like willows in the spring moon, and the Xuanxuan is like the morning glow, which makes people unable to help but feel moved.
She eavesdropped on the conversation between her father and Liu Wuyan. His martial arts skills were among the best in the world, and he was most likely a mage from the Imperial Preceptor's Office. If she could achieve good things with him, the Imperial Preceptor's Office would not deal with the Cheng family again.
However, the fairy prince who quietly entered her heart lowered his head, flipping through the book in his hand, and turned a deaf ear to her embarrassment.
At this moment, Miss Cheng Er was in unprecedented embarrassment. She stamped her foot, knocked Cheng Suxin away, covered her face and ran away.
Yunli, who was watching a scene where the sisters were tearing each other apart, couldn't help but frown. She never liked to talk about the scenes in this play where sisters turned against each other over men or over trivial matters, especially the biological sisters of the same family.
A big family pays attention to the prosperity of everyone and the loss of everyone. If one person has a good reputation, the world will look high on the girls of this family; if sisters marry well, they can also benefit themselves.
Moreover, after more than ten years of family relationship, even cats and dogs have some feelings. They are unfairly assigned rouge and hairpin rings, and they are jealous of men. They have to plot against each other and fight to the death. What kind of sisters are they?
Along the way from Yi'an Town to Qianjiang, she had a good impression of Cheng Suxin. Although she was blind, she did not complain about others and was optimistic and kind.
Along the way, she saw many beggars greeting the driver of the Cheng family with a smile. There were also knights who heard that she was being hunted by the Imperial Master's Office and came to help, but she persuaded them to leave.
However, she is kind to outsiders, but she is full of malice towards her sister.
Although she didn't understand what Cheng Suxin was doing, Yunli didn't say anything, mainly because she didn't like Miss Cheng Second either.
She continued to look through the book for clues, and not long after, Cheng Suxin came back with the help of the maid.
It was approaching noon, and she had finished looking through all the Huabenzhitan books in the bookstore, and almost all of Wei Lin's historical classics.
Cheng Suxin took them to a restaurant in the city for dinner. While waiting for the food to be served, Yunli and Li found a corner and whispered about their harvest.
There are many strange places in historical books, the most eye-catching ones are Eagle Ridge and Yunhuang Island.
"According to legend, Yunhuang Island is the residence of overseas immortals. Someone who was critically ill went to seek medicine. When he returned a few years later, he not only recovered from his illness, but also brought back countless rare treasures."
Yunli was suspicious: "Is this recorded in historical books? Shouldn't this paragraph appear in the story book?"
"The identity of the person seeking medicine is not simple. It is mentioned in many places but it is not clear. It is only vaguely revealed that he is from the royal family."
"It seems like Yunhuang Island really exists."
Wei Lin nodded and said: "The classics in Changqing Bookstore only date back to the Beichen Dynasty three thousand years ago, and there are no books older than that. Let's check out other bookstores in the afternoon."
At this time, the rapid sound of horse hooves came from the street below, and a familiar voice: "Quickly give up! Quickly give up -"
Liu Wuyan's arms were stained with blood, and he whipped his horse and whip as he drove quickly from the end of the street, anxious and frightened.
When he was approaching Evergreen Bookstore, he shouted hurriedly: "Miss! Miss!"
He turned over and dismounted, grabbed the clerk at the door, and asked sharply: "Where is my lady?"
The guy was almost out of breath due to his clothes being tied up, and couldn't speak at all. Fortunately, the guy next to him was alert and pointed at the restaurant.
Liu Wuyan turned around and happened to see Yunli Weilin by the window. His body suddenly softened and he sat down on the street, breathing heavily.
Wei Lin jumped in front of him from upstairs and asked, "Brother Liu, what happened? What are you doing?"
"Is my lady okay?"
"without."
"That's good."
Liu Wuyan took a deep breath, then got on his horse and galloped away, leaving only one sentence, "Brother Wei, please help me protect the young lady."
The crowd was talking a lot. In this situation, something was clearly going on in the Cheng Mansion.
Yunli and others didn't care about eating and hurried back to Cheng's house. When they entered, everyone in the house was uneasy and the servants all looked at Master Cheng's yard.
Cheng Suxin's maid pulled someone over and asked. The young lady's teeth were chattering: "The second young lady is dead. She was killed by the Imperial Master's Office."
