She moved closer to Duan Rong and sat down. "Yes, this is the book."
Duan Rong only took a casual glance at the book without a title page and a name and recognized it. "This is 'Records of the Western Kingdom', a travelogue handed down from a thousand years ago. This book has no second volume."
"Ah?" Jiuer was a little disappointed, "I was watching it with great interest."
Duan Rong glanced at her dejected little head and said, "There is something similar to this one, which also describes the scenery and cultural characteristics of Western countries. I'll ask Uncle Li to find it for you."
Jiuer's face suddenly cleared up and her smile became bright and brilliant. "Oh, butterfly..."
"Um?"
Jiuer's eyes curved and she changed her words, "Duan Rong, you are so kind~"
She was so casual and didn't seem to have any sincerity at all. But she also made people feel that she was very sincere.
Duan Rong couldn't help himself and reached out to pinch her face.
"Why do you always pinch my face?"
Duan Rong half-closed his eyes and smiled unscrupulously, "Your face is so good to be pinched. What time is it, and you are still reading a book? Is this book so good?"
"Of course books are interesting. Books contain beautiful women and golden houses. I can't learn martial arts, so I should read more books. I don't want to grow up to be a useless thing." Jiuer muttered.
Duan Rong paused, and rubbed her little face with his thumb, with an inexplicable intimacy and comfort, "Who said you would grow up to be a little waste?"
Jiuer didn't take it seriously, "I've had a weak body since I was young and can't do anything. If I don't like studying and don't like studying more than others, I will grow up to be a little waste." Isn't this obvious?
Duan Rong paused for a moment, then scratched her cheek again and sneered, "Where can I find a troublesome little waste like you? Besides," he leaned back lazily and said nonchalantly, "Who hasn't been called a little troublemaker and a little waste by the adults in their family when they were young?"
Jiuer was surprised, "Did you also get told that when you were a child?"
"yes."
So Jiuer miraculously felt much happier.
The man in black on Duan Rong's side wished he could completely blend into the darkness and become invisible.
Is this something that a subordinate of his can see and hear?
Fortunately, a "shadow" like him has long been accustomed to being invisible.
The eyes look at the nose and the nose looks at the heart, and you just pretend that you are deaf and blind.
Duan Rong asked casually, "Are you interested in the Western Country?"
Jiuer nodded. "It's strange. I'm a person who knows everything about astronomy and geography. I feel like I've been everywhere, but my memory of the Western Regions is very vague. But when I read this travelogue, I feel that many of the descriptions are very familiar."
"When you praise yourself, you are really straightforward." Duan Rong raised his hand and rubbed her head with amusement, "If you are interested, I will take you to see it when I have time."
Jiuer's eyes curved, "Okay~"
When Jiuer finally left happily with the book in her hands, the man in black, the subordinate with no sense of existence, could finally breathe and speak.
Continuing to report the previous events, "My Lord, the eldest princess did go to the Grand Prince's residence and stayed there for a cup of tea."
Duan Rong raised his eyelids slightly, a hint of disdain flashed across his lazy eyes, and the smile at the corner of his lips was a bit cunning and a bit playful.
"It seems that when we asked them to 'follow the clues' in Jinzhao Building, they found out quite quickly. We also scared the snake thoroughly."
This "they" naturally refers to people like the eldest prince and the eldest princess.
The man in black said, "Yes, at present, everything is developing according to your estimation."
"Watch it and proceed according to the plan." The strange smile on Duan Rong's lips did not diminish at all, and his smile even made people smell the bloody smell of killing that penetrated deep into their bones.
"Yes." The man in black was about to go down, but as one of the master's close subordinates, he felt that he had to express his concerns, otherwise he would be derelict in his duty.
"My Lord, I have something to ask..."
"explain."
"After what happened in the bookstore today, I'm afraid Miss Jiu is also in the spotlight. I'm afraid..."
"What are you afraid of?" Duan Rong gritted his teeth in anger. "That little girl, can I really lock her up all day, cover her eyes, and plug her ears?"
He laughed and scolded, but an indescribable tenderness flashed across his amorous light-colored eyes, and he sneered, "Is that little girl someone who can be locked up and restrained?"
"If her wings are really broken, it would be better to kill her."
The eyes were still those of the enchanting, passionate eyes, but they seemed to be filled with blood and gore, making people afraid. The ghost was so cruel that it made people shudder.
He said quietly, "Besides, even if there are strong winds and big waves, I will not let the waves wet her clothes."
The man in black retreated with a tingling scalp.
He just reasonably proposed this possibility, but the Lord reacted so strongly.
Miss Jiu is indeed the master's Achilles' heel.
Let’s talk about the Prime Minister’s Mansion.
Since Wang Xiaojin had obtained the only copy of the ancient book, she didn't want Jiu'er's efforts to help her to go to waste. She thought that she couldn't rely on Jiu'er to take care of her for the rest of her life.
But Wang Xiaojin is not a fool. She knows that she cannot take all the credit for this rare copy of the ancient book.
On the way back to the Prime Minister's Mansion, Wang Xiaojin was prepared to face Wang Sisi's storm.
But Wang Sisi did not bother Wang Xiaojin until she returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion and reported back to the Prime Minister and his wife.
Just when Wang Xiaojin was thinking that she should find a way to take the initiative to meet and talk with her elder sister Wang Sisi tomorrow.
After washing up, Wang Sisi came to the courtyard where Wang Xiaojin continued to retreat.
"Elder sister." Wang Xiaojin stood up nervously but bravely and saluted.
Wang Sisi smiled slightly and said, "You all go down, I want to talk to Xiao Jin."
After the waiters left, Wang Sisi sat down at the table.
Smiling, she looked at Wang Xiaojin, who was standing at a loss, and asked, "What's wrong? Are you afraid of me?"
"I..." Wang Xiaojin took a deep breath, "Eldest sister, I wanted to come to you and tell you that I got those two rare ancient books, and I want to give them to Dad in both our names. I was just lucky enough to know you..."
At this point, Wang Xiaojin changed her address, "I got this ancient book because I met Sister Duan. Your filial piety towards your father is evident to all. I want to send it off with you..."
Wang Sisi raised her hand to stop her from talking, but still smiled slightly and said, "Xiao Jin, you have become so sensible after going out today. I am really relieved."
"But, Xiao Jin, can you tell me what your sister Duan's name is? What's her origin?"
Wang Xiaojin wanted to see something from Wang Sisi’s eyes, but sometimes Wang Sisi, who was very easy to understand, had beautiful eyes that were deep and unfathomable.
Seeing Wang Xiaojin silent, Wang Sisi smiled again, "The maid I sent out to investigate has just returned. Isn't it a coincidence that after the maid told me some things, I finally remembered a rumor I heard before, which linked your sister Duan to the green-dressed girl who chased Mr. Su's carriage on the street a few days ago."
"What's even more coincidental is that this Miss Duan and your sworn sister not only have similar body shapes and both like to wear green clothes, but also have the same name. They are both called Duan Ajiu. No wonder you only call her Miss Duan when you are on the street in Bai Liri. Do you think it's hard to say the same name?"
She smiled and said, "Xiao Jin, tell me, what is the relationship between this Duan Ajiu and that Duan Ajiu? How can it be such a coincidence?"
【Author’s words】
Answer two questions
1. Update
Miao has only written this book, and there are indeed not many updates, which I am very sorry about. Miao has a problem with writing. If I am not in a good state, I would rather stop writing. I really can't write casually. However, I will try my best to update! PS, although there are not many chapters in each update, each chapter has enough words, basically more than 2,000 to 3,000 words, not the regular 1,000-word chapter update.
2. Plot
There will be extra chapters and sequels about Baili Feiyue, Master Changsun Wuji, his younger brother Mu Qing, and others. But some sequels really need Jiuer's story to reach a certain point before they can be released. If you are lucky enough to see it then, you will understand.
