After hearing her words, Jiang Siyan smiled helplessly.
"Princess Anle, you guessed wrong. That's a travelogue from the previous dynasty that my mother left me. It's not something very valuable."
If she had anything valuable, she would have sold it for silver and opened a shop to make money.
You won’t be so poor that you have to spend all day looking for ways to attract investment.
Tao Yuwei doesn't think so.
If the heroine has something that the villain female supporting character is thinking about, it must be a good thing.
"What travelogue is it? Can you show it to me?"
Tao Yuwei was curious, and after saying this, she felt it was inappropriate.
The relics left by someone's mother are very personal things. It is very rude to make such a request.
She was about to apologize, but was attracted by Jiang Siyan taking out a yellowed old book from her clothes.
Well, she doesn't even need to apologize.
They took it out generously.
"Here, this is the book. I've been carrying it with me to keep it as a memory and to prevent it from falling into Jiang Jingzhen's hands."
Jiang Siyan handed the book in her hand to Tao Yuwei.
"Princess Anle, please feel free to look at this. This is the last thing my mother has left, besides the farm she left behind in the southern suburbs of Beijing."
Tao Yuwei took it in her hand without hesitation and looked at the appearance of the book carefully.
The book was not thick. In her opinion, it was actually quite thin, only about thirty pages.
However, she felt that the yellowed color of the book and the quality of the paper gave her a sense of déjà vu.
Where have you seen a similar book?
Tao Yuwei couldn't remember it for a moment.
Opening the first page, I found that the content was indeed a concise travelogue written in classical Chinese.
She had some difficulty reading it. She flipped through it roughly, but she didn't understand some of the meanings. Because she only understood half of what she read, she found it quite boring.
However, when she thought that this book was what the female supporting character wanted, she turned to the last few pages without giving up.
She saw a blank space on the last two pages of the book, with nothing recorded.
She raised the book in her hand and read it again and again. Seeing this, Jiang Siyan was very curious.
"Is there something wrong with this book?"
Tao Yuwei closed the book, handed it to her, stood up, leaned close to Jiang Siyan and whispered, "This book seems to contain a secret."
She remembered that in that era, some people wanted to record important things but didn't want others to see them, so they would use ingredients such as aged vinegar instead of ink to write down the important content.
After writing and letting it dry, the paper becomes empty and appears to be empty.
If you want the contents above to appear, you must roast them over a flame.
Jiang Siyan's heart skipped a beat. He put away the travel book with a serious expression.
"Could it be that my mother left something important for me alone?"
Seeing her worried look, Tao Yuwei comforted her, "No, this shouldn't be something your mother left behind. Maybe it was something her family left for her on purpose."
As soon as Tao Yuwei finished saying this, she realized something was wrong.
She remembered that Jiang Siyan's biological father, Jiang Shao, was born in a remote mountain village in the south of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and her biological mother was said to be the daughter of a teacher from an academy who had fallen on hard times.
In that case, he shouldn't be from Beijing.
However, a young lady from a southern academy who was poor at home actually had a farm on the outskirts of the capital.
It feels inconsistent no matter how I think about it.
In this era, ordinary people cannot move frequently.
The Great Zhou also had laws specifically governing the head tax.
If you want to go out, you need to bring a pass.
Could a young lady from an ordinary academy family in the south have the financial resources to purchase a farm in the suburbs of Beijing?
People who live in the south and have no relatives or friends in the capital city will not come here to develop their business. They usually choose to open their own dowry shops in the local area.
The heroine's father also lived off two wives, married two wives with some wealth in succession, and traveled around. After decades of hard work, he was finally transferred to the capital.
Tao Yuwei felt that she had discovered another incredible hidden plot.
"If you want to know what it says, you might find out when you get to your farm."
Go back and light a candle, then pick up the last two pages of the travel book, roast them over the flame, and you will be able to see the words on them.
Tao Yuwei was not sure whether her guess was correct.
Jiang Siyan thought about it and nodded, "Okay, when we get to the farm, we'll need Princess Anle's help to unlock the secrets in the book."
"Aren't you trusting me too easily?"
Tao Yuwei felt that the heroine in front of her was too naive.
Perhaps it was this innocence that attracted the male protagonist Xiao Chengyan.
"What do you think of the Eighth Prince, His Royal Highness Prince Xin?"
She simply couldn't stop her gossipy heart from resting.
Jiang Siyan didn't expect that she would ask herself this question so directly.
After thinking for a moment, she said unhappily, "You are so self-righteous and don't know people well!"
"Hahahaha! Serves you right! You deserve it!"
After hearing the heroine's evaluation of the hero, Tao Yuwei laughed so hard that she fell backwards.
Looking at the current situation, she seems to be waiting for the couple to break up.
Jiang Siyan didn't understand why she said such strange words.
"The picture book you bought is great. The heroines in it are all amazing!"
Jiang Siyan casually took out a book from the compartment of the carriage, opened it and saw that it was a picture book. After reading a few pages, she couldn't help but comment.
Tao Yuwei sat up straight and yawned, "It's worth watching if the male and female protagonists are evenly matched and have unique personalities!"
The book she was reading was won through a lottery with a large sum of money through the space trading system.
