Chapter 109 King Xuan of Chu seeks out an astrologer to calculate the secrets of the universe

While Qin Sheng was still drying his hair, Chu Yian got up and left the room, went to the storeroom, and opened her dowry.

The dowry was large, with jewelry, cloth, treasures and other items all placed together in different categories.

There are also many betrothal gifts given by the Qin family, all of which are here, piled up like a mountain. At a glance, there are really quite a lot.

Although she knew that her dowry was large, Chu Yian rarely looked through it. This time, she found that she was quite rich, at least much richer than she thought.

The rest of my life will be so vast that I can’t even spend it lying down all my life.

After flipping through them, I felt much better. I touched those treasures and smiled foolishly, touching this and that, and couldn't let go.

Qin Sheng leaned against the door and looked at her with a silly smile, and the corners of his lips rose. He waited for a long time but she didn't come back, and he wondered where she had gone.

He interrupted Chu Yian with a cough and walked in: "Why did you suddenly remember to count the dowry?"

Chu Yian was immersed in the treasure when he was startled by a sudden sound. He turned around and saw that it was Qin Sheng. He quickly stuffed the oil lamp in his hand into his hand.

"Take a picture of me."

After saying that, he reluctantly put down the treasures and opened the boxes one by one to search.

Many boxes were stacked on top of each other, either being crushed or stacked too high for her to open.

Chu Yian fell silent as he stood in front of those big boxes. Speaking of which, which box were those classics placed in?

Qin Sheng saw that she had been rummaging for a long time without stopping, and now she was in a daze. He was a little curious: "What are you looking for?"

Chu Yian pursed his lips and said, "I'm looking for ancient books. I remember there were quite a few rare books in my dowry, but I don't remember where I put them."

Qin Sheng: ...

Qin Sheng sighed, and walked towards the boxes with the oil lamp in his hand with a bit of helplessness, and began to look at them one by one.

He was very fast and seemed to know what was inside at a glance. He soon stopped in front of three large boxes stacked together.

He handed the oil lamp to Chu Yian: "Take it."

Chu Yian hurriedly took it, and Qin Sheng took down the box on top. It was heavy and made a dull sound when it was placed on the ground.

He then took down the middle box and opened it.

Chu Yian walked over holding an oil lamp. Seeing a box of books, all of them were rare copies, her eyes suddenly lit up.

"Qin Sheng, you are amazing. How did you know there were books in this box?"

Qin Sheng took the oil lamp from Chu Yian's hand and moved it to the side of the box: "There are words here. Next time you want to find something, just follow this."

Chu Yian looked carefully and found that it was indeed there, but the words were engraved very small and could not be seen without careful observation.

She gave an awkward giggle and said, "I really haven't noticed it yet."

Qin Sheng said nothing, picked up the book and flipped through it casually: "What are you looking for a book for?"

Chu Yian also took a book and opened it: "Today I went to Qingshan Bookstore and saw a young man who was very poor. I wanted to find him a few rare books to copy so that he could earn some money."

Qin Sheng was a little surprised and had a better understanding of Chu Yian.

Chu Yian is actually quite kind-hearted and is happy to lend a helping hand when he meets someone in need.

But whether it was the last time she helped Bai Xiaozhu or this child, she did not provide direct financial assistance, but took a roundabout way.

Especially this young man. Scholars are the most arrogant. If you give them money directly, they may feel that you are insulting them.

If you give them a job like this and let them earn money on their own, they will be more willing to accept it.

Qin Sheng smiled and said, "What kind of rare copy are you looking for? I'll look for it with you."

Chu Yian shook his head: "I don't know. Are there some rare copies that can't be passed on?"

Qin Sheng hummed and took out a lot of books from the box: "The content needs to be screened, some things are not suitable for disclosure. Let's go back to the room and choose."

Chu Yian also hurriedly took some books and followed him back to the room.

Qin Sheng read very quickly, but he just screened the content without looking at it carefully. He almost read ten lines at a glance. In just one stick of incense, he screened out six or seven books.

Chu Yian read slowly and chose one book.

Qin Sheng looked at the books he had chosen and thought for a moment, then put the books he hadn't finished reading aside. "Send these over first, and then we'll slowly choose them later. At worst, you can just ask her to copy a book a hundred or eighty times, but that will still achieve your goal."

Chu Yian nodded, and raised her head from the book with dizzy eyes: "I think so too." Otherwise, if she copied until next year, where would she find so many rare copies?

She really doesn't like reading. This kind of book is so boring and tedious.

Chu Yian would never touch these books when he had nothing to do, but he never expected that one day he would have to read the books first for others.

She made herself laugh.

Knowledge tried to enter her brain in a despicable way, but fortunately her brain would automatically block it, and she would forget anything she was not interested in after reading it.

Just like now, although she still has a vague impression of some content, she will basically not remember it when she wakes up tomorrow.

After another three days, I really won't have any impression at all.

Qin Sheng put the selected books aside and said, "Put these books here. Remember to have someone deliver them over."

Chu Yian hummed: "I won't forget, don't worry."

As she spoke, she slapped her face, trying to sober herself up and pull her interesting soul out of the boring books.

After she completely regained her composure, she said, "Then let's continue writing the storybook."

Qin Sheng nodded, spread out the paper and ground the ink.

Chu Yian looked at the manuscript he had written last night. There was a change in the six states in Shandong. When Qin Xiaogong and Wei Yang heard the news, they were not worried but laughed instead.

After a brief thought, she decided to continue writing at the original pace, so she did not continue writing about Wei Yang's recovery of Hexi.

Instead, it briefly introduced what the other countries were busy with during the development of Qin.

Otherwise, why didn't they attack Qin for such a long time?

For today's readers, this is just an unusual storybook, not history. If I don't talk about it, it will always feel incomplete and have major omissions.

Qin Sheng has always supported Chu Yian's opinion on writing books.

So I sorted it out with her before starting to write.

First was the State of Chu.

King Xuan of Chu, Mi Liangfu, was a man with many strange ideas in his mind, which caused many people under him to run around because of his strange ideas, leaving them no time to do what they really wanted to do.

So King Xuan of Chu sent Jiang Yi out to secretly find two world-famous astrologers.

He felt that he could not wait any longer. King Xuan of Chu wanted to know the rise and fall of the world through the secrets of heaven, and use them to decide his future strategies.

The two men observed the stars at night and calculated that a wise ruler and powerful ministers were in power in the West, and the new policy had been established. From then on, there would be huge wars and riots in the world, sweeping across the four seas and unifying the world.
