Chapter 63: Travels to the Yangtze River
Qingxuan's mood was a little low, she married far away from home, and now she found out that her husband and concubines were in groups, which made people lose their appetite. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Green Lotus asked her to rest for an hour before dressing up and preparing for the family banquet in the evening, but she did not have the habit of taking a nap, knowing that Helan Qiyou was not away, she decided to go to his study, wanting to find some books to read, maybe it could change her mood. Although she didn't ask him first, she was not polite and decided to go into his study to have a look.
First, it was because although she had brought some of her beloved books out of the Sea Dragon Valley, she had read every one of them before, and she really needed some new books to enrich herself. Second, if she knew what kind of books Helan Qiyou usually read, it would also help her to understand what kind of person he was.
As for why she wanted to know more about him, she didn't have an answer at this moment.
Unexpectedly, he had a large number of books in his study, and there was a unique way of categorizing them. From downstairs to upstairs, in addition to the Four Books and Five Classics, all kinds of history books, military books, maps, miscellaneous notes, travelogues, scripts, and novels, his stock is rich, many of which her father has never brought to her to read in the past.
In an instant, her depressed mood was swept away, and she thought about which book to start reading first, and searched hard. She picked out a dozen or so books, and was thinking that she was going to return with a full load, and she was very happy about it. Just glanced back at the bookcase, holding such a large pile of books, there was a lot of space on it, and anyone could see that there were many books missing, so it was difficult not to be noticed by Helan Qiyou that she had taken the books.
Though... She felt that she had been deceived into marrying here, and she could not go home. What's the big deal about borrowing him so many books, but she is just a little awkward, and she doesn't want Helan Qiyou to think that just a few books can buy her.
With that in mind, she put the books back where they were. He guessed that he could only borrow one first, so he would definitely not be able to notice.
That's a great idea, but now it's time to think carefully about which one to borrow first.
After walking around from downstairs and returning upstairs, she suddenly swept her eyes to a book on the high cabinet that was a little different, which aroused her interest, but she couldn't construct it at her height, and couldn't take it down for a while.
Without much thought, she stretched out her hand, her five fingers flipped in mid-air to grasp, and she used her spiritual power to pull out the book in the air.
She tried several times without success, and the books at the time were all soft paper, and if she pulled out one, she could pull out a row of books. So she carefully repeated the movements, trying to make the force more precise, but in the end she did not succeed.
In the end, she finally couldn't help but exert more spiritual power, and directly lifted her whole person up, suspended in mid-air, just like in the Sea Dragon Valley that day. Now that she had floated, she was able to use her free hands to push away the other books she had clawed beside her, and pull out the books she wanted to hold. This book doesn't look special, but it's kept very secretive, not like it's placed randomly.
She looked at the cover and read "The First Collection of Travelogues of the Yangtze River in the Tang Dynasty", knowing that China's travelogue literature began in the Wei and Jin dynasties, but she did not know that the Tang Dynasty was so popular.
"What are you looking at?"
Qingxuan was startled when she heard the voice, as embarrassed as a little girl who didn't eat and read in the corner of her father's study when she was a child. Losing control of his spiritual power, the whole person fell down, but fell straight into Helan Qiyou's arms.
Looking at his ridiculous expression, Qing Xuan turned his face away, not wanting to look at him. "Put me down!"
