Transmigrated into a goddess from another world, and criticized the King of Yan for loving her like
Chapter 169 Are there other travelers besides her?
"Is the princess awake?" Cuiwei heard Su Qian waking up, and hurriedly lifted the brocade curtain and helped her up.
Su Qian was dazed and asked subconsciously, "Did Yan Xuanye not come back all night?"
Cuiwei was stunned. She intuitively discovered that Su Qian was becoming more and more concerned about Yan Xuanye.
"Yes, Princess, please have breakfast first."
"Okay, let's go out for a walk after breakfast."
Cuiwei was very supportive of her and agreed immediately, "Okay, I will go with the princess."
Su Qian: "Okay."
The city of Qingzhou has streets along the water, a misty and hazy scene, and is full of poetic and picturesque beauty. It is a very typical Jiangnan town.
Su Qian was quite interested in this. If she hadn't been a little tired from traveling for the past few days, she would have been eager to go out for a walk.
"I heard that Qingzhou has many girls' schools and bookstores, and it strongly supports women's reading. Many literati and poets come here for tourism, to see different scenery from all over the country, and to visit famous scholars in Qingzhou."
"I want to see it."
She had been thinking about what she could do in this era. Now that she was here, she might as well go out and see more. Maybe she could gain something from it.
When he reached the street, Su Qian took a walk.
Although there were many bookstores and academies, the contents taught were still the Six Arts of a Gentleman and the Four Books and Five Classics. Women's academies also mostly taught etiquette, manners, and professional skills such as music, chess, calligraphy, and painting.
It seems that there is nothing she can do with what she has learned and felt in modern times.
As a modern person, the knowledge she learns is completely different from that in ancient times. She has previously thought about opening a girls' school to teach girls calligraphy and the like.
But later, the more I understood this era, the more difficult it seemed.
Firstly, she herself couldn't recognize all the traditional Chinese characters, and she was only a half-baked one.
Secondly, even if she could hire teachers to teach female students how to write, she found that the needs of women at that time were not all about reading and writing.
Being able to eat and dress warmly is what the lower-class women of this era want most.
However, the ideas of the noble women were even more contrary to hers. They learned not only etiquette, music, chess, calligraphy and painting, but also supported their husbands, raised their children and managed the imperial household.
Su Qian felt it was even more difficult to move forward.
At this moment, she raised her eyes and suddenly saw a rather shabby bookstore.
The reason why this bookstore caught her attention was that other bookstores mostly sold Confucian classics, books about the imperial examinations, or books about strange stories.
The bookstore opened by this person actually sold books covering many disciplines including astronomy, mathematics, and physics.
The content of the books is quite different from that sold in other bookstores, which is quite surprising.
"Is the owner of your bookstore here?" Su Qian turned around and asked the servant.
The servant paused while wiping the table and pointed in a direction, "Look, over there."
Su Qian looked over and saw the boss lying on a recliner, basking in the sun with a book in his hand, "Excuse me..."
"Are you the owner of this bookstore?"
The boss slowly moved the book away and saw that the person coming was an extremely beautiful woman. His eyes lit up for a moment, but quickly dimmed.
"Girl, what do you want?"
Su Qian was stunned for a moment. The boss looked very similar to a male classmate from her freshman year of high school.
He was very young, probably around 20, or about the same age as her.
He has a handsome face, and the way he lies on a chair, reading a book and basking in the sun, is so carefree and unrestrained, like the unrestrained and free wind.
Su Qian took a book in her hand and turned to one of the pages. "I saw that your bookstore is different from other bookstores, and I was very interested, so I came in to take a look. I just flipped through one of the books and I have a question, so I want to ask you, sir."
The boss pretended to be puzzled and said, "Oh, but I am not well-educated and may not be able to answer your questions. Why did you ask me?"
Su Qian smiled calmly, "Boss, you are joking. These books are not common in the market. Not only do they cover a wide range of topics, but some of them are unique copies.
Since you have chosen these books and placed them here, you must have carefully selected them after reading them. How could you not understand the questions I want to ask you?"
After hearing this, the boss seemed to be interested and immediately sat up straight: "The girl is really smart."
"I get along well with the girl. There are very few customers who are willing to come to my bookstore to read books. The girl is not only interested, but also willing to ask for advice. So I am naturally happy to answer your questions."
He stood up and made a gesture of invitation, "Girl, please follow me."
Su Qian followed him to a clean table and sat down. He poured her a cup of tea and said, "My name is Zhang Yuncheng. What's your name, young lady?"
"Su Qian." she said.
Zhang Yuncheng's hand holding the teacup froze for a moment, but soon calmed down and placed the cup in front of her. "It's not some expensive tea, but it's still drinkable. Please try it, young lady."
Su Qian raised her teacup, sipped her tea and glanced up at him, but she found that Zhang Yuncheng was also looking at her.
After this strange eye contact, both of them looked away at the same time.
Just now, Su Qian told him her real name on purpose to test him.
They have almost identical looks and very similar personalities. In this era, they opened a bookstore that doesn't make any money. This move, which was done completely from the heart, gave her a little more hope.
"This tea is good."
"If you like, I'll pack some tea for you later."
Su Qian smiled slightly, "Thank you very much."
Zhang Yuncheng asked again: "Oh, by the way, the young lady just said that there is something she is confused about. I wonder what it is? I may not be able to solve the problem for the young lady, but I am happy to discuss it with her."
Su Qian took the opportunity to raise a few tricky questions. These questions were things that ancient men generally would not care about or learn about. Instead, they were things that modern people like her, who had traveled through time, must have learned when they were receiving compulsory education.
Zhang Yuncheng saw that the questions she asked were somewhat unusual, so he couldn't help but look at her with a higher eye, "I wonder if my explanation can help you understand it?"
Su Qian nodded and said with a smile: "I have learned a lot from Boss Zhang."
Zhang Yuncheng frowned and looked at her for two seconds, then thought for a moment, "Miss Su, aren't you going to criticize me?"
"Why do you ask?"
Zhang Yuncheng said, "Everyone who comes to my bookstore will leave a message after reading my collection of books."
Su Qian: "What?"
Zhang Yuncheng shook his head and said, "I don't know what it means, it's heretical..."
Indeed, for ancient people, ideas such as equality between men and women and equality for all were indeed too advanced.
"Everyone who has come here to read has criticized it like this." He sighed.
Su Qian took the opportunity to comfort him with a few words. After all, she could empathize with his feelings.
It was just like when she was arguing with Yan Xuanye about whether or not to get pregnant.
Independence and self-reliance of women, these are what Yan Xuanye cannot understand.
In his opinion, what is important is to be able to protect her from wind and rain, to be her strong support, and to let her rely on him for the rest of her life.
Su Qian did not agree with these.
Just as she was thinking this, there was a noise at the door of the bookstore. Zhang Yuncheng panicked and hurried to the door.
He kept on chattering, "Even if the books in my bookstore are a little unorthodox, they won't come and destroy my nest."
An idea flashed through Su Qian's mind, and then he followed.
As she expected, the person leading the visitor to the door was Yan Xuanye, and Zhang Yuncheng saw this dark crowd and was trying to reason with them.
"My dear brothers, how can I do business if you all block the door of my bookstore?"
Yan Xuanye said briefly and in a bad tone, "Then just close the shop."
Su Qian, who had not yet reached the door: "..."
"Get out of here!" Yan Xuanye said.
Zhang Yuncheng took a deep breath, "Hey, are you reasonable? You're blocking the door of my bookstore, and you want me to get out of here?"
"I won't let you do that, what can you do?"
At this moment, Zhang Yuncheng thought that someone from the government had come to search his bookstore.
After all, in order to unify thoughts and facilitate their own rule, ancient monarchs staged many events in history, such as burning books and burying scholars alive, and the burning of books in Jiangling.
Now that Qingzhou City has a new owner, it is very likely that the new ruler will confiscate and burn his "heretical" books in order to facilitate his own rule!
Yan Xuanye's narrow eyes were filled with extreme coldness, as if he was too lazy to talk nonsense with him. His hand had already touched the hilt of the sword, and he was about to draw the sword to attack him.
Su Qian came to the door again, and seeing his actions, she immediately shouted to stop him, "Aye!"
There was silence for a moment. Only Zhang Yuncheng was still confused, not knowing what had happened.
Su Qian walked quickly to Yan Xuanye and said, "I'm here, don't be impulsive."
Zhang Yuncheng: "Uh... Miss Su, do you know each other?"
Su Qian smiled at him a little embarrassedly, "Sorry, I scared you."
"This is my husband. He is here to look for me."
The anger that had been pent up in Yan Xuanye's heart dissipated a lot after he heard her introduction of herself.
Yan Xuanye didn't care about Zhang Yuncheng who was present, his expression was still not very good, "Why didn't you bring Lu Feng with you when you went out? I was really worried."
Su Qian curled her lips. Worry or surveillance?
Lu Feng was actually Yan Xuanye's spy placed by her side. After the last incident, she still had some estrangement towards Yan Xuanye and a hint of rebellion in her heart. So she deliberately sent Lu Feng away and then came out.
The atmosphere was a little awkward, and in the end, Zhang Yuncheng took the initiative to jump out and save the situation, "So it's Miss Su's husband. Miss Su and I are so compatible, it seems that Miss Su's husband must also be compatible with me. Why don't we sit down and talk?"
Yan Xuanye looked around the bookstore with a bad face, "Your bookstore is so run-down and old, what's so good about sitting here?"
"You!" Zhang Yuncheng was speechless, not knowing how to refute, but he was not angry.
As Su Qian looked at him, she felt that he was very similar to the classmate in her memory.
It's not just the appearance, but also the personality.
Her classmate is also relatively calm and not easily impulsive.
Is there any other time travelers in this world besides her?
Seeing that she was staring at Zhang Yuncheng without blinking, Yan Xuanye felt even more dissatisfied. He pulled her to his side with a sullen face. When she was confused, he picked her up and carried her away.
