Chapter 1087 Xu Da publishes a book, a complete mess.
After living in Yingcheng fishing village for more than two years, Lin Yuesha realized that she had too many things she couldn't take with her when it was time to leave.
Every item in the courtyard of the fishing village was arranged by her and Qi Heng themselves, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere.
As Lin Yuesha prepared to leave the fishing village the next day, she touched the vase she and Qi Heng had traded for, feeling very reluctant to part with it.
"Miss, your family is all in the capital. You will soon be reunited with them. Aren't you happy?"
Lin Yuesha misses home very much. Whenever she has time, she writes letters to introduce the local customs and culture of the North. Qingxing and the other maids have noticed this and are now very happy to see her about to return home.
Originally, it would take several years to build a large ship in the dock, but the craftsmen worked together and shortened the construction time by half.
"I wish I could fly to the capital immediately to see my parents and younger brother, but..."
Lin Yuesha touched her chest, feeling a nameless worry and a bad premonition that her life would be drastically changed after returning to the capital.
This change is not only due to the disparity in status, but also carries a degree of uncertainty.
"Miss, please don't overthink it. If anything unexpected happens, we'll deal with it as it comes."
Qingxing and Qi'er exchanged a glance, confirming Lin Yuesha's words that the biggest change lay with their lord, Qi Heng.
The two maids were unable to reveal the truth and were extremely distressed.
Qingxing and Qi'er accompanied the group to the capital, making a total of four people. The rest of the group went with the soldiers.
"Yes, no matter what happens, we have to face it. I'm just worrying unnecessarily."
Lin Yuesha deliberately ignored the strange feeling in her heart and continued to check the luggage she had brought for the journey.
At the end of the second month of the lunar calendar, people in the north still need to wear padded jackets. The further south you go, the hotter it gets, so you need to prepare a few light shirts. Other items are not convenient to carry, so you can buy them along the way.
Even with the official road widened, the journey back to the capital will still take at least twenty days, so reading anecdotes to pass the time is essential.
When the storybook was mentioned, Qingxing suddenly remembered something. She hurriedly went back to her room and rummaged through her belongings, finding a thick book in a hidden package at the bottom of the trunk.
"Miss, I apologize to you."
Qingxing held up the thick book with both hands and presented it to Lin Yuesha.
"Tales of the Great Qi Dynasty?"
Lin Yuesha looked at the large words on the cover, hesitated, and took it. She seemed to have heard of it somewhere before.
"Miss, this book was specially sent to you from the capital by Lord Xu a few days ago to help you pass the time. I was so busy that I forgot to mention it."
The person arrived on horseback, traveling under the stars and moon. At that time, the young lady had finally managed to get a good night's sleep because she had been busy with the national medical care campaign, so Qingxing did not disturb her.
I intended to inform Miss the next day, but then a bunch of trivial matters came up, and before I knew it, Qingxing had forgotten about it.
"It's alright. Even if I gave it to you earlier, I wouldn't have time to read it anyway."
Lin Yuesha stared at the signature on the cover, which read "The dashing young master of the capital".
Lin Yuesha's first reaction was, "Who wrote this? Using such a flamboyant pen name? That's quite a talent."
"You may not know this, but I heard that this book was sold out as soon as it was released, and it is now out of stock in the capital. It is only thanks to the repeated borrowing and copying of the book by scholars."
Seeing that her young mistress didn't understand, Qingxing hurriedly explained.
"My cousin is very thoughtful. He came all this way just to send me a book. It's a small gift but a big sentiment."
As expected of cousins without blood ties, their bond is extraordinary. Lin Yuesha thought about talking to Qi Heng and asking him to exploit Xu Da less in the future.
"this……"
Qi'er twitched her lips and revealed, "The charming young master of the capital is none other than Lord Xu himself."
"What did you say?"
Lin Yuesha thought she had misheard. As Xu Da's cousin, she knew best how much knowledge Xu Da possessed. Was there something about Xu Da that she didn't know?
Indeed, it had been some time since Xu Da brought Wuya and Xiaobaozi back to Beijing with their family of three.
Lin Yuesha felt deeply gratified, but after glancing at the catalog, she immediately spat out a mouthful of water.
"What kind of nonsense is this?"
Lin Yuesha thought that "The Great Qi Chronicles" was mainly about slaying demons and monsters, but little did she know that the table of contents had already betrayed everything.
Among them are the stories of Lin Yuesha and Qi Heng in the Northwest, the origin of the legend of them being called "lucky koi" in the army, and the famous tale of Xu Da exchanging a city for himself.
"How can Lord Xu be so shameless?"
Seeing that her young mistress couldn't stop smiling, Qingxing also went to the side. She was shocked by what she saw.
The origin of the story of the young lady being a lucky charm in the army only takes up one page, while the story of exchanging one person for one city takes up more than twenty pages.
"indeed."
Lin Yuesha glanced at the page and strongly agreed with Qingxing; Xu Da was clearly using this to promote himself while also pursuing his own agenda.
Given Xu Da's popularity, his book is unlikely to sell well. Who cares about his trivial matters? To attract readers, Lin Yuesha is placed on the homepage.
As expected, Lin Yuesha and Xu Da's sibling bond was so strong that they were always willing to push each other aside for their own benefit, and the slap in the face came so quickly.
Lin Yuesha took a deep breath, calmed herself down, and glanced at the table of contents again. There were also the case of the woman in red who shocked the capital, and Yu Zicheng's case of the pregnant woman in the capital. One case after another was shocking.
"Miss, you're shocked too, aren't you?"
Qi'er glanced at it a few times and shook her head repeatedly. She blushed, especially when she saw how Xu Da was boasting about himself.
Lord Xu used to be very aloof, but now he's gone further and further astray, and not a hundred horses could pull him back.
What is your opinion on Mr. Xu's book?
Qingxing decided to borrow books from the young lady along the way and then carefully read Master Xu's masterpiece.
"Xu Da's book is a complete mess."
Lin Yuesha's words were concise and to the point, summarizing the situation in eight characters.
It wasn't that she looked down on people, but Xu Da writing storybooks was even more shocking than a veterinarian suddenly becoming a doctor.
It seems that things in the capital weren't as bad as Xu Da complained in his letter; at least he still had time to write these messy stories.
We cannot sympathize with Xu Da; we must intensify our exploitation. Xu Da is a sheep that can never be completely fleeced!
Not only does it produce wool, but it also produces milk. Lin Yuesha overturned her understanding of Xu Da.
The three of them, master and servant, were still in a daze and in shock when someone came to announce from the door: "Young mistress, the young general has returned. Please come to the reception room."
"Okay, I'll be right there."
It was windy outside, so Lin Yuesha grabbed a cloak and strode outside.
Inside the reception room built in the fishing village, Qi Heng and his father knelt in front of him. The two had changed into thick coats and kept their heads down, refusing to get up.
“My lord, these two men have come from afar to seek justice from you.”
Lin Yuesha was unaware of the specifics of what had happened.
"Don't rush, just explain in detail."
Qi Heng placed a cushion on Lin Yuesha's back, poured her a glass of water, and gestured for the kneeling father and son to speak.
Wuzhou is hundreds of miles away from Yingcheng. This father and son must have come here by begging, and they probably couldn't make a living there.
