is her!
At the gate of the bookstore, a young woman in her early twenties was wearing a snow-blue embroidered wisteria dress. The jet-black blue silk was simply **** with a fluffy braid, and a delicate white magnolia silver was inserted between her buns. Hairpin, silver hairpin body, hairpin head is two white magnolias carved from suet white jade, lifelike.
That beautiful face seemed to glow in the sun, like a red lotus by the water, which was extraordinarily bright and gorgeous.
Yu Chaoyun stared at Gu Yanfei on the street from the second floor of the bookstore, feeling complicated.
She has not changed at all!
Suddenly, Yu Chaoyun remembered the first time he saw Gu Yanfei at Shanglinyuan hunting ground eight years ago.
What happened that day seemed like yesterday, and it was like a dream.
Eight years later, Gu Yanfei is still so beautiful... No, he is even more beautiful than before!
is like a delicate flower.
The bright eyes are good, the splendid and elegant, so gorgeous and dazzling, especially those eyes that are brighter than the stars seem to be sucking away the soul of a person.
Some passers-by who passed by involuntarily cast their eyes on Gu Yanfei and glanced at her twice.
Yu Chaoyun's mind came up with a sentence: Beauty is in the bones but not the skin.
And what about yourself?
Yu Chaoyun subconsciously raised his hand to touch his face, the tentacles felt extremely rough.
She was obviously only one or two years older than Gu Yanfei, but now she looked a dozen years older than her actual age. Her skin was sallow and haggard, her forehead and eyes were wrinkled, her cheeks were not only puffy, but also a lot of yellowish brown. spots.
After being convicted from the Yu family, her fate changed completely and she fell to the bottom.
She and other female relatives of the Yu clan saved their lives and were sent to serve three thousand li in the northwest frontier. Until three years ago, when the Supreme Emperor Chu Qi ceded the throne to today's Chu Yi, the new emperor ascended the throne and granted amnesty to the world. Only the surviving Yu family's female relatives were pardoned.
Her uncle, the British Lord, picked her up from the northwest and arranged a marriage for her. The surname "Yu" has long been the object of rejection by everyone. Naturally, the marriage arranged by the British Lord is not much better, but it is a Yuzhou one. Ordinary merchants.
Yu Chaoyun also tried to resist, but the British father said that if she doesn't marry, she will be sent to the nunnery, and she can only marry a vulgar who is more than ten years older than her. Merchant as successor.
She will come to the capital this time to follow her husband to say goodbye to the British public. They will leave the capital and return to Yuzhou the day after tomorrow.
She wanted to buy some enlightenment books for her son before leaving Beijing, but she didn't expect to meet Gu Yanfei here by chance.
Now she and Gu Yanfei are the difference between clouds and mud.
Gu Yanfei was in the clouds, she was the most honorable woman in the Great Jing Dynasty after a dignified country, and she, Yu Chaoyun, was just mud on the ground that was trampled on by people.
Yu Chaoyun couldn't help clenching his fists tightly, his eyes were so dry that they hurt.
In the next instant, a boy in purple clothes, six or seven years old, walked out of the blue hooded carriage beside Gu Yanfei.
Fair skin, a well-defined nose bridge, beautifully shaped Ruifeng eyes, beautiful and delicate facial features, a small person's behavior is elegant and self-controlled, and even the posture of getting off the carriage is like a ruler.
After the boy landed, he turned around and shouted into the carriage, "Sister!"
A girl in a purple jacket put one hand on the boy's hand, stepped on the horse stool and slowly got off the carriage.
The girl is as tall as the boy, and their appearance is almost the same, only the hairstyle and the style of the clothes are different. When the two children stand together holding hands, they look like two boys under the Guanyin seat, carved in pink and jade.
The appearance of the two children suddenly attracted the attention of more passersby.
"Brother Yun!"
"Sister Zhen!"
Wei Jiao Niang rushed out of the restaurant opposite the bookstore like a gust of wind, staring at the twins with gleaming eyes, and she couldn't see Gu Yanfei at all.
Wei Jiao Niang's heart is about to melt, this pair of dragon and phoenix is simply a combination of the advantages of Chu Yi and Gu Yanfei, Zhong Lingyu is beautiful, and it is perfect.
"Auntie."
The two children saluted Wei Jiaoniang in a decent manner, and smiled at Gu Yanfei, as if to say, Mother, are we doing a good job?
Gu Yanfei smiled with satisfaction and nodded slightly.
She and the two children had agreed in advance that when they went out to play in the palace, regardless of the monarch or minister, they would salute their elders as they wished.
"Good!" Wei Jiao Niang bent down and touched the top of Chu Yun's hair, and then touched the top of Chu Zhen's hair, smiling until she could not close her mouth.
At this moment, the bookstore clerk walked out from the inside quickly and greeted several people cheerfully: "Two ladies, young master, young lady, do you want to buy a book? Please come in."
"We have all the books in this shop. There are three books and four classics, history and astronomy, geography and water conservancy, Buddhist scriptures, Taoist scriptures, agricultural science and medicine books, music scores and miscellaneous books, everything."
“…”
In the voice of the man talking, Gu Yanfei and the four filed into the bookstore.
On the first floor of the bookstore, four or five scholars were picking and reading books. The guy was afraid that the scholars would bump into the female relatives, so he hurriedly said, "The two ladies are going to the second floor. There are few people on the second floor."
Wei Jiao Niang also felt that this idea was a good idea, and immediately agreed: "Let's go to the second floor."
When the group walked to the stairs, Wei Jiao Niang bent down to hug Xiao Chu Zhen, and warmly suggested: "Sister Zhen, will my aunt hug you up, okay?"
"Auntie, I'll go by myself." Chu Zhen shook her head obediently, pursed her small mouth like a flower petal, and curved her lips into a smile.
The jade-carved villain blinked his dark eyes, making his heart tremble.
Chu Yun said hurriedly, "Auntie, my sister and I will go by ourselves."
When the two children look at people with a smile, they should be as well-behaved and well-behaved as they should be, as cute as they should be.
Wei Jiaoniang felt like a villain was screaming in her heart. She really wanted to hug both children and sighed in her heart: These are all other people's children!
Her family's eldest son is a arrogant child who even dislikes dogs. He flies into the sky every day, and is so energetic that she makes a big noise. She can't wait to stuff him back into her stomach, and she doesn't want to have a second child anymore. .
"Okay, you all go on your own." Wei Jiao Niang let the two children slowly go upstairs while supporting the handrail of the stairs, and cast an envious look at Gu Yanfei.
Gu Yanfei and Wei Jiaoniang followed behind the dragon and phoenix.
The second floor is very spacious. In addition to the rows of bookshelves, there are also several small private rooms. Some people read books in the private rooms, some people are copying books, and some people have tea and rest.
The dragon and the phoenix happily went shopping for books by themselves.
Wei Jiao Niang glanced at the twins from time to time, her eyes were very soft, "Yan Fei, if you don't visit the bookstore, let's take them to the flower and bird market and the horse farm to play?"
Wei Jiao Niang was thinking, what fun is there in the bookstore, boring and boring.
"Next time." Gu Yanfei laughed, took out a copy of "Tai Shang Dong Xuan Ling Bao Immeasurable Human High Grade Wonderful Classic" from the bookshelf, and flipped through it, "Once the two of them entered the bookstore, where would they be willing to come out? It's not a problem to play for a day."
"Yan Fei, you two children are too good!" Wei Jiao Niang said with emotion, "My Dalang can't do it anymore. Every day I get beaten by my husband in the family study... My mother also said that Dalang is like me! Humph, how could I be so disobedient when I was a child."
The two were chatting with each other, and their voices clearly reached the ears of Yu Chaoyun, who was hiding behind a certain bookshelf.
Yu Chaoyun's nails sank deeply into the tender palms, his eyes dark and unclear.
When Gu Yanfei and the others went upstairs just now, she subconsciously hid, not wanting Gu Yanfei and Wei Jiaoniang to see her.
She was afraid to see contempt, sympathy and even disgust on their faces.
She inexplicably remembered the red gold inlaid seven-treasure butterfly collar that was smashed by Gu Yanfei's foot. Today, she is like the smashed gold collar. Even if it was once glorious, it is impossible to go back to the past.
Yu Chaoyun pinched his palm even harder, his whole body was cold and numb, his heart seemed to be immersed in a cold quagmire.
She will never turn over again!
Looking at Chu Yun, who is six or seven points similar to Chu Yi, and thinking of her three-year-old son's fat head, big ears, and dull appearance, this year clearly and cruelly emerged in Yu Chaoyun's heart.
The dragon begets the dragon, the phoenix begets the phoenix... The son of the snake and the mouse is still the snake and the mouse.
A row of hot tears fell from the corners of her eyes, blurring her vision. Yu Chaoyun's plump body was trembling, and she heard the little girl's soft voice from the front: "Mother."
She wiped away the tears with her fingers, quietly stuck out half of her face from behind the bookshelf, and saw the little Chu Zhen walking towards Gu Yan with an old book in both hands, smiling like a flower.
Chu Yun followed her twin sister like a shadow, like her most loyal guardian.
"Mother, I found a very interesting old book." Little Chu Zhen handed a blue-covered book to Gu Yanfei, with bright black and white eyes.
"Mom, read it, this book is very interesting."
The six-year-old girl is at an age where she likes to share everything with her mother, and she has to tell her mother what she sees is good-looking, interesting, and annoying.
This scene makes Wei Jiao Niang feel both envious and jealous. The words that her arrogant child is always talking about now is "mother doesn't understand".
Wei Jiao Niang couldn't help thinking: Maybe it would be good to add a sister to her family's eldest son, then she will have a sweet little padded jacket.
Wei Jiaoniang smiled and leaned over to talk to the little girl: "Sister Zhen, can Auntie also take a look?"
Chu Zhen smiled and nodded.
She moved her little finger on the open page and said cheerfully: "Mother, auntie, the winemaking method written in this book is very interesting, it is said that it can brew the purest and strongest wine, mother. Honey, can we go back and try?"
Gu Yanfei smiled and nodded.
Chu Zhen not only likes reading books, but especially those ingenious techniques. At a young age, he has read "Tian Gong Kai Wu" over and over again many times, and has personally made wooden cows and horses, sleeve arrows, repeated crossbows and so on.
Gu Yanfei and Chu Yi have always indulged their children. Except for the necessary homework, other aspects are up to them to learn what they want to learn.
The Supreme Emperor Chu Qi, not to mention, can't wait to pluck the moon from the sky and give it to his grandchildren.
"Mother, this book also says how to make sugar..." Chu Zhen happily turned another page.
Gu Yanfei didn't pay much attention to this book at first, but when she read the handwriting on the book clearly, her heart skipped a beat.
is a very familiar handwriting.
The handwriting she had read many times.
Gu Yanfei's pupils moved slightly, and he said with a complicated expression, "Is this book called "The Diary of Tingzhi"?"
Chu Zhen blinked in surprise and blurted out, "Mother, how did you know?"
Gu Yanfei slowly closed the book. The blue cover was worn out, and the words "Tingzhi's Diary" were written on it. It was only because the book was old and the title was slightly damaged.
This book actually appeared "again", in this way!
In her previous life, she found this "Tingzhi Diary" by chance after she was married, but not in this bookstore.
At that time, she couldn't understand what was written in "Tingzhi's Diary", until her elder brother Gu Yuan injured his leg, and he was not good enough. Even the imperial doctor said that Gu Yuan's leg could not be saved, but she didn't give up and tried to go to various houses. Bookstores buy all kinds of medical books, medicine books, and miscellaneous books.
In this "Tingzhi Diary", she stumbled upon the method of wine making and sugar making, and she thought that she might be able to make a living with the secret recipe of sugar making. She thought that as long as she had the ability to settle down, she could take her eldest brother out of Hou Hou completely. government.
In her previous life, she was too lonely and too easy to trust others. She thought that Yu Chaoyun was her only friend and could be trusted. However, Yu Chaoyun betrayed her and stole "Tingzhi Diary".
Yu Chaoyun also gave the method of making sugar to the British lady, who opened several shops in Beijing and began to sell white sugar and cotton candy in large quantities. These two kinds of sugar swept the whole scene. The British lady-in-law made a lot of money, but she cut off Gu Yanfei's only way back.
Gu Yanfei in his previous life hated Yu Chaoyun for betraying her, and also hated Yu Chaoyun for stabbing her.
"Ehhhh..."
There was a sudden downstairs sound from the rear right.
Gu Yanfei and Wei Jiaoniang looked at the sound subconsciously, only to see a cramped back, a woman in a half-new cyan jacket and skirt hurriedly walked down the stairs, her neatly combed bun was inserted into the bun. got a wooden hairpin.
The guy downstairs shouted nervously: "Madam, be careful when you go downstairs and walk slowly."
Yu Chaoyun didn't dare to slow down at all, instead he walked faster, almost running away.
"Huh? This person seems familiar..." Wei Jiao Niang whispered softly, "Have I seen it somewhere?"
She frowned and thought for a while, and then gave up.
She has seen many more people.
Wei Jiaoniang withdrew her gaze and looked at the "Tingzhi Diary" in Gu Yanfei's hand.
Gu Yanfei stared at the entrance of the stairs, a stream of light flashed through her eyes, until the cyan back disappeared from her field of vision.
"Mother," Chu Yun stood upright beside Chu Zhen and asked keenly, "Do you know this book?"
Chu Zhen tilted Honglan's little face with a look of curiosity.
Even Jiaoniang Wei was aroused curiosity.
Gu Yanfei glanced at the three curious faces, and said in a rare condescending manner: "You have heard of this book too."
Wei Jiaoniang was confused and read "The Diary of Tingzhi" several times, but she still couldn't remember it.
Chu Zhen took the book from her mother and flipped page by page, thinking seriously.
Chu Yun frowned and touched his chin with one hand.
Gu Yanfei raised his lips and smiled when he saw his son's small movements. The next moment, Chu Yun's clear eyes met her, and tentatively said: "Mother, could it be..."
Gu Yanfei nodded with a smile on his face.
Wei Jiao Niang was about to scratch her ears, thinking that Gu Yanfei was really spoiled by Chu Yi.
Chu Yun received the affirmation of his mother, and confidently said with his hands behind his back: "Great-great-grandfather Chu Jing, the name is Tingzhi."
Wei Jiao Niang blinked and blinked again, feeling like a bolt of lightning had struck her heart.
There are not many people who know the characters of Emperor Taizu. Even Gu Yanfei only learned about it after reading some essays left by Taizu in the palace after he married Chu Yi in this life.
Wei Jiao Niang suddenly felt that the dilapidated book in front of her suddenly became radiant.
This turned out to be the legendary "Taizu Handbook"!
