The Duke's Daughter is Reborn

Chapter 18 Jishi Bookstore

A few days later, Yang Qi was reading "You Xue Qiong Lin" in the study room when Song Wei, who was with her eldest brother Yang Qing, came to Linhu Courtyard and brought her good news: "Miss San, the eldest master has decided to go to Jishi Bookstore tomorrow. Please get ready and leave tomorrow morning."

Yang Qi was very happy to hear Song Wei's words. She could finally go to the academy to choose the calligraphy and medical books that she was satisfied with. However, when Mother Fan heard Song Wei's words, she informed Yang Qi at the door and entered the house, saying, "Miss, you must inform the old lady in advance if you are going out with the young master tomorrow."

Hearing what Mother Fan said, Yang Qi was troubled and said, "Mother Fan, Grandma likes my second sister very much. Every time she goes to the upper room, she only talks to my second sister. I think Grandma will be unhappy to see me."

Mother Fan always thought that Yang Qi was smart because she had her own opinions, but she lacked guidance. She said, "Miss, the old lady is your legitimate grandmother, and you are the old lady's legitimate granddaughter. In this world, there is no such thing as a grandmother who doesn't love her granddaughter. The second young lady grew up with the old lady, so it is natural for the old lady to care more about her."

Yang Qi listened to what Mother Fan said, pretended to be happy, and said happily: "Mother Fan, according to what you said, my grandmother naturally loves me in her heart."

Mother Fan looked at Yang Qi's expression and felt that this Third Miss was just assertive, but still a child, and in her heart she was looking forward to the love of her grandmother. "Of course, as long as the Third Miss can be more filial to the old lady in the future, the old lady will naturally know your intentions."

Yang Qi nodded, and took Mother Fan and Jing Shan to the upper house, and told the old lady about going to Jishi Bookstore tomorrow.

Yang Qing was certainly more prudent than Yang Qi. Before that, Yang Qing went to Shangyuan to report to the old lady and obtained her permission. Therefore, after hearing Yang Qi's reply, the old lady readily agreed.

Before Yang Qi came, he didn't expect this to go so smoothly. He thought the old lady would give him some advice. As soon as he left the main house, Yang Qi saw Yang Lan and said, "Hello, second sister. I'm going to Jishi Bookstore with my eldest brother tomorrow. I wonder if you need any books."

Yang Lan smiled and said, "Thank you for your kindness, Third Sister. I don't need anything for the moment. Why don't you come to my room and sit for a while?" Yang Lan felt a little fond of her because her Third Sister remembered her when she went out this time.

Listening to Yang Lan's words, Yang Qi nodded and said, "Okay." He had been to Yang Lan's boudoir in his previous life, but only a few times, and one of them was when Yang Lan got married. In this life, although he didn't expect Yang Lan to help him in the future, Yang Qi was still happy to have a good relationship with Yang Lan. After all, who would want to offend the future queen?

The boudoir of 5-year-old Yang Lan was not as exquisite as in her previous life, but now the decorations on the shelves were all extraordinary. There was a piece of calligraphy written by Yang Lan on the table that had not yet dried. Yang Qi stretched his head to take a look. It was Wang Wei's "Autumn Night in the Mountain", "After the rain in the empty mountain, the weather is late in autumn. The bright moon shines among the pines, and the clear spring flows over the rocks. The bamboos are noisy with the return of the washerwomen, and the lotus leaves are swaying with the fishing boats. Let the spring flowers rest as they please, and the princes can stay as they please."

Although Yang Lan is only 5 years old, his calligraphy is much better than that of his previous life. Yang Qi couldn't help but be mesmerized by Yang Lan's calligraphy. Wang Wei's poems have always been known as "there are paintings in poems and poems in paintings", and Yang Lan's calligraphy has given this beautiful scene even more.

Yang Lan looked at the love in Yang Qi's eyes and said, "Third sister, do you like this poem?"

After hearing what Yang Lan said, Yang Qi came back to his senses, nodded and said, "I like this poem, and I also like my second sister's calligraphy."

Yang Lan was somewhat happy to hear Yang Qi's plain words. Yang Qi looked at Yang Lan's expression and was somewhat curious. Yang Lan in her previous life would also be happy, but her smile would never be wrong, and her inner thoughts would never be shown in front of her. It was unknown how the old lady trained her afterwards.

After staying in Yang Lan's room for a while, Yang Qi returned to his own lakeside courtyard.

The next day, after breakfast, Yang Qi and He Mama hurried to find Yang Qing, thinking that if they left early, they could stay in the bookstore for a while longer. Yang Qing looked at the hurried Third Sister and said with a smile, "Third Sister, if we go there now, Jishi Bookstore is not open yet!"

After hearing what Yang Qing said, Yang Qi said without hesitation, "Wait for Big Brother to finish packing, harness the cart, and drive slowly on the road. When we get to the entrance of the bookstore, Jishi Bookstore will also be open."

In fact, Yang Qing had almost packed everything, so she didn't let Yang Qi wait and took Yang Qi out of the house.

The whole journey was just as Yang Qi said, they walked slowly. Yang Qing thought that they had plenty of time and the bookstore might not open yet, so he took a few books and put them in the carriage to kill some time.

Unexpectedly, Yang Qing and Yang Qi arrived at Jishi Bookstore, and the bookstore was already open. It looked like it had been open for a while. Yang Qi didn't think much about it and pulled Yang Qing in. Yang Qing looked at the inexplicably extra guards around and felt something was wrong. She said to Yang Qi, "Third sister, take a look at the calligraphy you like. When you choose, wait for me in front and I'll pay the bill."

Jishi Bookstore is very big. As soon as you enter, you can smell a faint scent of books. Yang Qi is very happy. He nodded to Yang Qing and went to the calligraphy area first. Jishi Bookstore is divided into sections according to the types of books. If you want to choose a book, you can go to a specific section. Before coming here, Yang Qi thought about the font he wanted to learn, which was Kaiti.

There are various font styles, which can be divided into running script, cursive script, official script, seal script and regular script. Regular script has a square shape and straight strokes, and is also the most popular font in the Tianyuan Dynasty today. After picking a suitable one, Yang Qi went to look for medical books.

Jishi Bookstore is worthy of being the largest bookstore in the Tianyuan Dynasty, and even has many kinds of medical books. Looking at the books in front of him, Yang Qi seemed to have eaten honey. He picked up the "Huangdi Neijing" and "Zhongjing Quanshu" that he had been thinking about the most, and went to find Yang Qing first. Yang Qi wanted to stay in the bookstore for a while, but this also required the permission of his eldest brother.

Walking past a bookshelf, Yang Qi saw a group of people kneeling on the ground in front of him. In the middle stood two young men in gorgeous clothes. The leading man was wearing a yellow brocade robe with a jade pendant tied around his waist, looking extremely noble. Behind him was a man wearing a green brocade gown with a gloomy look. Yang Qi was extremely shocked when he saw this man. Wasn't this the fifth prince, the future crown prince, and Yang Lan's husband?

The reason why Yang Qi was able to recognize the fifth prince was also because of Yang Lan's wedding that year, and he was fortunate to meet the nobleman. The person in front of the fifth prince, who was standing in front of the fifth prince and wearing yellow, could it be the current crown prince, Yuan Ruiyuan, who was later sentenced to death for his failed rebellion!

Yang Qi stood there, looking ahead in a daze. Yuan Ruiyuan was just standing there now, with a cold and arrogant look on his face, not saying a word, but his aura was so strong that the people present were breathing softly, just like an emperor ruling the world. Why would such a dragon among men, the prince of the world, take a path of rebellion that he knew would fail?
