As Chuanwen approached the archway, she spotted a corner of clothing. Judging from the fabric, it belonged to a young man. After making this guess, she suddenly poked her head out and made a big, funny face.
Chuanwu and Chuanyi were listening intently with their ears pressed together when they were suddenly startled and fell backward to the ground with a scream.
"You little brat," Chuanwen thought smugly, hands on his hips. But when he saw Chuanwu following behind Chuanyi, he paused, stunned. "When did my brother get involved with this idiot?"
Chuan Yu also ran over, and upon seeing the two of them, she was furious that they had been eavesdropping on their conversation!
Chuanyi shrank back, fearing a scolding from his sister, and quickly took the initiative, "Sister, you...you're not having a peaceful mind, having such a messy dream! I'm going to tell Mother!"
Chuan Yi took off running, and while running, he didn't forget to loyally pull Chuan Wu along. However, Chuan Yu smiled and picked up two pebbles, hitting the two of them on the ankles.
The two cried out in pain. Chuanwen looked at Chuanyu in disbelief, as the plot did not mention that the female lead knew kung fu.
Chuan Yu smiled sheepishly: "When I was little, Xu Wuyou taught me a set of boxing techniques. I practice them when no one is around. I wouldn't say I'm that good now, but I can easily handle the two of them."
This was another reason why she felt the dream couldn't possibly happen; how could she be a weak woman who couldn't even kill a chicken?
Chuanwen really wanted to grab the female lead and shake her again and again. She was such a quiet, dignified, and elegant lady, how come... uh... although most of the time Sister Yu is as quiet as bamboo, as dignified as the moon, and as elegant as an orchid, why does she always give off a feeling of Lin Daiyu uprooting a willow tree?
Chuanwu looked at his younger sister in disbelief. "Sis, are you sure Chuanyu is the kind heroine from your novel? The way she's walking over with a smile on her face, she's not kind at all. She looks like a terrifying demon!"
It's no wonder Chuanyu wanted to scare the two of them. She couldn't let those two brats spread what she had just said. Even if she didn't care, the Changxing Marquis's mansion couldn't be suspected or ridiculed.
Chuan Yu first analyzed the pros and cons for the two men, and then the two men extorted a lot of jewelry from her before the matter was over. Chuan Yu didn't care anymore; she figured it was better to lose money than to suffer any more trouble.
"What do you two need so much money for?"
Chuanwen couldn't help but ask, and Chuanyi was about to speak when Chuanwu covered his mouth. Chuanwu smiled at the two of them and said, "It's a secret."
After saying that, he grabbed Chuanyi and ran off in a flash.
Chuanwen scoffed dismissively, thinking, "Does she think I don't know just because she doesn't say anything?"
With the script in hand, I have the world at my fingertips!
However, Chuanyu kept him talking for a long time, and he didn't have time to talk back until he finally got away from the Changxing Marquis's residence in the afternoon.
After leaving the Marquis of Changxing's residence, Chuanwen went to the shop his parents ran on Lanshui Street. The shop was quite large, with two floors and a backyard for the embroiderers to use for their embroidery work.
Chuanwen met Su Yue in the backyard. Su Yue was surprised that she could expand her business to the capital. She expressed her gratitude to Xu Yan and Chuanrui and said that after the New Year, once she had some savings, she would bring her younger brother Er Gou over so that he could prepare well for the imperial examination next year.
Speaking of Er Gou, Chuanwen craves his braised pork and wishes Er Gou would come right now.
Chuanwen lingered in the shop until after dinner before reluctantly leaving. Sitting in the carriage on his way back to the palace, Chuanwen felt a strong urge to go to work. However, looking at the bags and packages of food on the carriage, Chuanwen felt much better. Compared to his tragic death in the original story, having food to eat now was not bad.
After Chuanwen returned to the palace, he was summoned to the Ganlu Hall, where the emperor was discussing matters concerning the western border with the crown prince and several civil and military officials, while holding the little princess in his arms.
Upon seeing Chuanwen enter, they handed the little princess to him to prevent her from finding an excuse to leave.
Chuanwen sighed inwardly, "I'm definitely a working-class person now!"
He obediently placed the little princess in the cradle, gently rocking her while listening to the emperor and his men's idle chatter.
After listening for a while, which wasn't very interesting—it was all about the deployment of secret operations in the Western Regions—Chuanwen became puzzled. "When did the Emperor know that the Western Regions were going to attack the Great Jin? And why was the deployment so thorough..."
Several civil and military officials smiled; having a young girl in their hands was a blessing for their Great Jin Dynasty.
However, they soon changed their minds.
Forget it, let's ignore that for now and see what my brother and that idiot Chuanyi are up to.
This was incredible! Chuanwen exclaimed, "My brother is a genius!"
The shock of the news immediately attracted the attention of the emperor and his entourage, and even the absent-minded crown prince perked up his ears.
My brother actually wrote a book! And it sold out as soon as it was printed! Let me see, let me see, what did my brother write...?
Uh... it's just writing a book, they thought it was something big. The emperor and his ministers lost interest and continued to discuss important military and political matters.
[A domineering prince's forced love?]
[Long Aotian, I laugh at the world of martial arts?]
[A sweet, tooth-robbing marriage with a young, beautiful wife that blossoms into love?]
Below was a long list of book titles that left Chuanwen speechless. His heart was filled with mixed emotions—surprise and delight. [My brother...could he...be a time traveler too?!]
The emperor, who was complaining about what terrible names these were, was stunned. The girl's brother was also a time traveler? Then he would have two powerful weapons! Hahaha, the heavens truly bless the Great Jin!
[Huh? General Xu is also reading my brother's book... A cunning and powerful minister falls in love with me?... Hahahaha]
Chuanwen was trying so hard not to laugh that her stomach hurt. He thought Chuanwen would ask for leave tomorrow to go home and talk to her brother about the time travel thing, but unexpectedly, Chuanwen just brushed it off and started watching the drama unfold.
The emperor slowly looked at General Xu Yunfei, his gaze strange. "My dear minister... you actually enjoy reading this kind of book..."
