but……
Unable to twist the thigh with his arms, Qi Yuan could only accept it with tears.
He said "yes" and took Cheng Xiaoxiao to Fusu's mansion.
This time, he just hoped that Cheng Xiaoxiao would not carry him on the road anymore.
After all, it's really embarrassing.
Fortunately, God heard his prayers, and Cheng Xiaoxiao behaved well until he got on the carriage.
Qi Yuan breathed a sigh of relief, "I finally saved my face."
The carriage swayed all the way towards Fusu's residence.
Cheng Xiaoxiao lifted the curtain and saw the real life scenes of the ancients two thousand years ago.
There are many shops on both sides of the street, and large and small stalls are placed in front of the shops. The variety of goods on the stalls is overwhelming.
There are cloth shops, grain shops, pawn shops...
There are people selling vegetables, food, toys, and performing arts...
The noisy voices of people entered Cheng Xiaoxiao's ears, making her feel a different kind of fireworks.
…
Half an hour later.
The carriage stopped in front of Fusu Mansion.
When the gatekeeper saw that a distinguished guest had arrived, he immediately went into the mansion to report.
Qi Yuan's voice came from outside the carriage, "Miss, we've arrived."
Cheng Xiaoxiao lifted the curtain, got out of the carriage, and jumped directly off.
"Tsk!" Cheng Xiaoxiao said softly, "These ancient women's clothes are just not very convenient."
Cheng Mianmian, who was sitting on her shoulder, said, "But her clothes are beautiful!"
Cheng Xiaoxiao nodded, "You're right, it does look good!"
Qi Yuan, who was standing by, saw this and warned, "Miss, be careful with your steps."
Cheng Xiaoxiao nodded, "I know, thank you!"
At this time, the butler came up hurriedly and said, "You two, the eldest master invites you."
Qi Yuan and Cheng Xiaoxiao entered the mansion under the guidance of the housekeeper.
Qi Yuan was taken to the side hall by the housekeeper to have tea, while Cheng Xiaoxiao was led to the reception hall by the maid.
At this time, Fusu was already sitting in the reception hall waiting.
Cheng Xiaoxiao saluted, "First..."
Fusu raised his hand to interrupt her, "Sit down, stop calling me ancestor or not, it makes me sound very old. From now on, we will address each other by our names."
Cheng Xiaoxiao smiled and said, "In that case, I will respectfully obey your orders."
She sat down and spoke softly, "I asked the First Emperor for some books, and he said you have them all, so he asked me to come and get them from you."
Fusu nodded slightly, "Since it is my father's order, I must obey it."
He raised his hand to call the butler over, looked at Cheng Xiaoxiao and said, "Tell the butler the books you want, and he will get them for you later."
Cheng Xiaoxiao looked at the book information provided by Cheng Mianmian and read it out word by word.
As she spoke, the butler quietly glanced at Fusu.
Housekeeper: Oh my God! They are trying to empty the master's collection of books!
There was no change in Fusu's expression.
but……
In fact, he was in tears.
Fusu: My collection of books~ woooooo~ I can’t bear to part with them!
When Cheng Xiaoxiao finished reading the last book title, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Yes, even Cheng Xiaoxiao herself breathed a sigh of relief.
She was afraid that Fusu would drive her out, after all, the number of books she wanted was not small.
Cheng Xiaoxiao looked at the housekeeper, "Thank you, housekeeper. That's all."
Fusu waved his hand and said, "Go ahead and pick out all these books."
"Be careful not to damage the books."
"Yes." The butler bowed and took his leave.
…
Half an hour later.
The housekeeper came to report that all the books Cheng Xiaoxiao wanted were ready.
Cheng Xiaoxiao followed Fusu to the outside of the hall and saw five or six boxes placed on the open space.
Cheng Xiaoxiao opened one of the boxes and picked up a scroll of bamboo slips.
With a "Snap!", Cheng Xiaoxiao quickly closed the bamboo slips.
Good man, I don’t understand it at all!!!
Seeing her like this, Fusu couldn't help but laugh out loud, "Do you think the Spring and Autumn Annals is difficult to understand?"
He picked up another scroll of bamboo slips, opened it, and handed it to Cheng Xiaoxiao. "This is my personal opinion written down when I was studying the Spring and Autumn Annals. Take a look. Isn't it much easier to understand?"
Cheng Xiaoxiao pursed her lips. Actually, she didn't find it difficult to understand.
The main thing is! Those characters know her, but she doesn't know them, which is very rude.
Then, Cheng Xiaoxiao's eyes suddenly lit up. She discovered a bright spot. There was actually an insight written by Fusu's ancestor himself.
If we take this back, those who study ancient books will be so happy that they will faint.
By then, through these they will have a deeper understanding of Fusu, and will be able to better understand what kind of person the benevolent Fusu was two thousand years ago.
Cheng Xiaoxiao took the bamboo slips and pretended to read them.
The words on the bamboo slips are written in neat handwriting with smooth lines, which has a certain artistic sense. It is true that the handwriting reflects the person, and it looks very much like the upright gentleman Fusu.
Although Cheng Xiaoxiao couldn't understand it, it didn't stop her from praising him, "Sure enough, your handwriting doesn't seem that difficult to understand."
Cheng Xiaoxiao: Gods and Buddhas, I'm sorry! I lied! I don't understand at all!
Fusu nodded in satisfaction, with a glimmer in his eyes.
He looked at Cheng Xiaoxiao and thought, "This girl has a really sweet mouth!"
Cheng Xiaoxiao put all these precious books and Fusu's handwriting into the space.
She bowed solemnly to Fusu and said, "Thank you, ancestor Fusu, for your generous gift."
Fusu was taken aback by her sudden seriousness. "No need to be so polite. It's just some books."
Cheng Xiaoxiao smiled and said nothing more.
She remembered the vow she had made to feed her ancestors and decided to invite Fusu and the First Emperor to "go shopping in the supermarket" together.
That’s right, it’s the small supermarket she built herself.
At that time, the two ancestors can choose what they like according to their own preferences.
It is better to do it today than to wait for a day, so Cheng Xiaoxiao decided to do it today.
She said mysteriously to Fusu, "Ancestor, please come with me to the Xianyang Palace to meet the First Emperor! I have a wonderful place I want to show you."
Fusu became interested when he heard this. "Where are we going? Is it within the territory of Daqin?"
Cheng Xiaoxiao said with a smile, "This is a secret, ancestor, you will know when the time comes."
Fusu: "Okay!"
Cheng Xiaoxiao got on Fusu's carriage and headed for Xianyang Palace.
…
"Master," the driver's voice came from behind the curtain, "that's the eldest son's carriage ahead. Should we stop and make way?"
Li Si, who was dozing in the carriage, opened his eyes and said, "Stop!"
Li Si ordered, "We will go after the eldest son's carriage passes."
"Yes." The driver responded.
"Whoa!" The driver tightened the reins and stopped the carriage to the side, waiting for Fusu's carriage to go first.
Qi Yuan, who was sitting outside, saw this scene and whispered to the two people in the carriage, "Young Master, the carriage of the Left Prime Minister's Mansion is giving way ahead. Should we speed up?"
