Xiao Qi is proud of his major discovery, and shows off to Xiao Yue.

However, this sentence really made Xiao Yue's heart tighten, she stepped forward and asked, "Xiao Qi, what did you say?"

Xiao Qi waved the book in his hand and said in a milky voice: "Dao! ”

Xiao Yue squatted down, looked at him, and asked softly, "Where is the Dao?"

Xiao Qi took down the book and pointed at the word "Dao" on the cover with a chubby little finger like a lotus root, "This is the Dao." ”

Xiao Yue was a little surprised, thinking that this child was not yet two years old, he was actually literate, and it was also a simplified character, she was about to ask, Xiaolan behind her smiled: "It seems that your grandfather and grandfather didn't hurt you in vain, and let you recognize this word every day, you really remember it." ”

Xiao Yue turned her head to look at Xiao Lan and asked, "What do you mean? Who is called Xiao Qi literate?"

Xiaolan stepped forward, sat on the chaise longue, supported Xiao Qi, and said with a slight smile: "I also recognize this word, many walls of the Taoist temple in Qingshan are hung with this word, Xiao Qi sometimes goes to visit his grandfather, he often looks at this word, the child thinks it is a painting or something, his grandfather tried to teach him to recognize this word, I didn't think he was so smart, he actually remembered it." I'm still offering treasure to you. ”

Before Xiao Yue could be happy about Xiao Qi's high IQ, a thought immediately flashed in her heart.

If she can't get more news about "On the Dao" from the official academy, then maybe she can try her luck in Qingshan.

After all, Qingshan has a Taoist temple, and she still remembers that Wen Youyou said that the simplified Chinese characters she knew were actually very similar to Taoism, that is, the words in "On the Dao".

Xiaolan watched Xiaoyue fall into deep thought, and she didn't know what she was thinking.

However, when she looked back, Xiao Qi beside her seemed to be a little greedy for the book "On the Dao", and when she was about to stuff the book into her mouth, she was so frightened that she quickly reached out and grabbed it.

"This is a book, you can't eat it!" Xiaolan said softly.

Xiao Qi saw that the delicious things were snatched away, frowned, and said aggrievedly: "Books are so fragrant, Xiao Qi wants to eat a little, just a little." ”

Xiaolan said with a smile: "No matter how fragrant it is, you can't eat it." ”

"Xiang?" Xiao Yue was attracted by the conversation between the two of them, she coaxed Xiao Qi and said, "Xiao Qi, tell Daddy, why is this book fragrant?"

Xiao Qi pouted, looked at the book in Xiaolan's hand, and said, "This book is really fragrant, it should be delicious." ”

Xiaolan put the book on her nose and sniffed it, she shook her head and said, "There is no smell!"

Xiao Yue was also a little puzzled when she heard this, she took the book from Xiaolan's hand and put it on her nose and sniffed it.

At first, she didn't find any smell, she was not reconciled, opened the book, smelled the pages of the book, and then found that there was indeed a faint smell, this smell was very strange, not like a floral fragrance, but like a spice used for cooking.

Xiao Yue stood up, looked at Xiao Qi with a face full of grievances, and said, "Xiao Qi is good, Daddy will go to the kitchen to find Sister Linglong now and bring you pastries to eat." ”

Xiaolan dissuaded: "What pastry to take, I just had lunch." ”

Xiao Qi's eyebrows were almost squeezed together when he heard this, and he looked very cute.

Satsuki smiled at them, didn't speak, and turned around and left the study with the "On the Dao" in her hand.

&nbs

p; Satsuki arrives at the kitchen and finds Linglong, who has just finished washing the kitchen.

"Linglong, do you have any prepared pastries in the kitchen?"

Linglong wiped the sweat on her head with her sleeve, and said with a smile: "I just made it this morning, I know that the little young master and Mrs. Zhu are here, so I specially prepared it." ”

"Well, you pick some up and send them to the study in a moment. After saying that, Satsuki walked to the kitchen counter, as if looking for something.

"Okay. Linglong looked at Xiao Yue and had no intention of leaving, and then said, "Childe, is there anything else?"

Xiao Yue searched for a long time, but there was nothing to gain, she turned to Linglong and said, "Oh, like this, I think the book in my hand seems to be dyed with spices, you come and smell it, what kind of spice is it?"

After speaking, she handed the very old "On the Dao" to Linglong.

Linglong looked at Xiao Yue embarrassedly, and said coyly: "Childe, I haven't been to your study, I shouldn't have done it." ”

Xiao Yue sighed, "I didn't say that you made it, you smell it first." ”

Generally a good chef has a very sensitive sense of smell and taste, and Linglong is no exception, she took the book and sniffed the cover first, then opened it and sniffed it again and said: "Childe, I think this book has a fragrance, this fragrance is a bit like the smell of nutmeg, but not all like it." ”

She returned the book to Xiao Yue and said with an embarrassed face: "I haven't smelled this smell, I don't know what it is." ”

Satsuki hadn't thought about the smell of this book before, she thought that when she used to go to the university library, she would sometimes smell a unique fragrance. Therefore, she deduced that the fragrance in the book should have come from a spice used to protect the paper book.

If she could find the source of this spice, she might be able to find out who copied the book, and she would be able to find the source of the book, and when she thought of this, she was slightly excited, and her hands holding the book began to tremble slightly.

When it comes to protecting books, Bailan Book House must be a professional specialty.

Xiao Yue didn't think much about it, and went directly to Yun Yan and asked her to help take a look at the origin of this book.

Yun Yan was tidying up in the main house at the moment, and when she saw Xiao Yue rushing in, she thought there was something urgent, so she hurriedly greeted her and asked, "Childe, what's wrong again?"

Xiao Yue shook her head and said breathlessly: "It's really secret, I actually forgot to ask you to help me see the origin of this book." ”

After speaking, she handed the "On the Dao" to Yun Yan, and then said: "This book should have been treated with insect control, you smell it, what kind of spice is used." ”

Yun Yan was very surprised when she heard this, "Childe also knows the insect repellent spices of books, which is also a technique that only the master of the book house has understood for many years." After all, she still took this book that Xiaoyue treats as a treasure on weekdays, looked carefully left and right, and sniffed both inside and out.

Yun Yan showed a surprised expression, "The insect prevention method used in this book is not the method used by our Bailan Book House. ”

"Why?"

"Our Bailan Book House is to put spiritual herbs in the book, but we do it when we are in the warehouse, but if the book is sold, we will take out the spiritual herb in advance, I think this book is so old, it stands to reason that it should not have the taste of spiritual vanilla for a long time. ”

"And you can tell which bookseller this is from?"

Yun Yan sighed and said, "Anyway, there are no such books in Great Britain. She seemed to remember something again, and then asked, "Could it be that you took the spiritual herb inside before you took it home?"
