Chapter 114 This glass of water is mine! Go!
Wei Zhendong looked at his little daughter and found that she looked more and more like his wife. She was even prettier than his wife.
Wei Zhendong couldn't help but have a headache. His little girl was so young and beautiful. He could no longer blame those young men for targeting his little girl like flies. Alas!
Wei Zhendong said happily: "Ruyi, your elder brother is back. We will have lunch soon. Your mother will be worried if you don't go home."
Shen Ruyi smiled and said, "Then let's go home! I have finished my work. The New Year is coming soon. The shop has too many orders and some styles need to be changed. I have to show up.
There are also a few ladies who have ordered dresses for their daughters and want to make a few more. It’s no use telling Shopkeeper Ma, because we can’t make them anymore…”
The old father didn't understand what the little girl was saying. Anyway, he helped her put on the fur coat and then took her home.
After Shen Ruyi got off the carriage, she ran from the gate to the main hall and shouted, "Is my elder brother back? Where is he? Grandma, where is my elder brother?"
Wei Wanlin was sitting at the table, talking to his grandmother. Shen was also sitting beside him, smiling and listening to Wei Wanshan talking about their attack on the Northern Barbarian Kingdom in the northern border.
Suddenly Shen Ruyi ran in. Wei Wanlin was startled when he looked up. The little girl in his impression was short, chubby and had a big head. But now, after eight years, this little girl has transformed into a little fairy!
Shen Ruyi's appearance is 70% like her mother's, but she is also 30% smarter. Her height is also not very tall like her mother, but she looks very well-proportioned. She is a standard beauty!
Wei Wanlin was stunned for a moment, then quickly stood up: "Ruyi, big brother is back!"
Shen Ruyi smiled with surprise and said: "Hello, big brother! You have become taller and stronger now, almost as tall as daddy!
Hehehe, big brother, do you think I have become more handsome? I am also taller and stronger. I am only fifteen years old and can still grow..."
Shen came over lovingly and took off her daughter's fur coat: "Don't bother your brother. Go wash your hands and we'll have dinner. We'll be waiting for you!"
Shen Ruyi hugged her mother and put her face close to hers: "Mom, then I'm going to make money, right? If I don't go, I won't be able to deal with those ladies!
Those ladies are very cunning. Each of them wants to make two more dresses for their daughters. I guess they want to arrange blind dates for their daughters..."
Shen took her daughter to wash her hands. When they came back, the family sat together to eat. When the meal started, Shen took the lead in picking up a piece of pork ribs and put it in her eldest son's bowl.
"Wan Lin, I don't know if these dishes suit your taste, so I made some extra. Just pick out the ones you like to eat!
Husband, please take care of the child and make sure he eats more. The child has been away from home for so many years, and as a father, you have to take good care of him!"
Wei Wanlin nodded quickly: "Thank you, County Lady, Wanlin will eat it by himself!"
The family had a happy meal together. Shen Ruyi was particularly happy. He looked at his eldest brother, who was 70% similar to his father. Both of them had the aura of a great general.
After dinner, Wei Zhendong took his son to the study to talk about things in Northern Xinjiang and about his two younger brothers serving in the army in Southern Xinjiang.
Shen Ruyi went to her mother's room with her, talked for a while, and then went back to take a nap.
Shen Ruyi had not slept for long when the maids Xiaohong and Xiaobi came to wake her up, saying that an imperial decree had come from the East Palace in the shop, saying that the Crown Princess wanted two skirts and the Fashion Department was waiting for them!
Shen Ruyi knew that the Crown Princess would probably wear one for herself, so she prepared one for Pan Feier.
Shen Ruyi has never liked Pan Feier, but her aunt is kind-hearted. She thinks that Pan Feier is not favored by her uncle, so she takes care of her in everything.
Shen Ruyi felt that she was overthinking it, but this might really be a coincidence. Ever since she knew that Pan Fei'er had an affair with her scumbag father, there have been rumors that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince listened to the Imperial Observatory and could no longer stay in any other palace, otherwise the Crown Princess's illness would become more and more serious, so he could only live in the Crown Princess's bedroom.
In other words, Pan Liangdi and the two beauties had fallen out of favor, and they had not been able to serve the emperor in the bedchamber for many years.
Shen Ruyi always felt that it was her uncle who knew about the affair between Pan Liangdi and her scumbag father, so he deliberately distanced himself from her.
When she thought about it, it was her aunt's business, so how could she ignore it? Shen Ruyi packed up, stood up, and left the Duke's Mansion with her maid.
Shen Ruyi is also good at kung fu. She has been busy in recent years learning kung fu from her father Wei Zhendong. Although she is not very skilled in martial arts, she is better than many ordinary men. Shen Ruyi combined the Taekwondo she knew with the kung fu taught by Wei Zhendong!
Wei Zhendong felt that his little girl's skills were biased, but her kung fu was unexpectedly tricky, and three or five men were basically no match for her.
Shen Ruyi went to Ruyi Clothing Shop, talked with several female officials from the palace's clothing department, and then began to look for two dresses in the shop, one for her aunt and one for Pan Feier.
She also suggested areas that needed improvement, and several female officials from the Shangsi Bureau were very happy and soon left with a group of people.
Shen Ruyi thought about it, then packed up and went to a nearby bookstore to read a book. There really were not many entertainment and leisure activities in this era!
The street behind Guangyuan Street is called Xiucai Street. There is a Sifang Bookstore on that street. Sifang Bookstore is quite old. Some of the books there are borrowed from the Hanlin Academy. Among them, Shen Ruyi would go to the bookstore to read "The Qin Shilu" when she is not busy. Occasionally, she would buy a few other books. Books in this era did not have printing technology, so they were precious things. But Shen Ruyi had plenty of money. She never hesitated when she wanted to buy a book and bought whatever she liked.
She also likes the environment on the second floor of the bookstore. It feels very comfortable to sit there and read!
Today, as it is the end of the year, there are definitely not many people in the bookstore because everyone is buying New Year's goods.
Shen Ruyi didn't want to stay in the shop for too long. If she did, some young men would come to try their luck. If she met any of them, they would be acquaintances or customers, and she would inevitably have to deal with them.
Shen Ruyi didn't even bring her maids with her. She asked two maids to help sell goods in the shop. She made an appointment with the two maids, Xiaohong and Xiaobi, that she would come back after she finished reading and go home with them.
Shen Ruyi quietly put on a fur coat and a hat, walked around, crossed two streets, went to the Sifang Bookstore, and went straight to the second floor.
She recently fell in love with the "Records of the Great Qin" here. This book is updated every few years and is basically compiled by the Hanlin Academy. It is very precious and rare!
Therefore, "The Qin Shi Huang Diary" is not for sale, but lent to some scholars and candidates for examination. They have to read it here and hand it back after reading it, because it has to be returned to the Hanlin Academy Bookstore at the end of the year!
"The True Records of the Great Qin" has many volumes. Shen Ruyi has now read the third volume. The last time she came here was a month ago. Today she wants to read the fourth volume.
Seeing that there was no one around, Shen Ruyi took out her water cup. The cup was made of a bamboo tube, and she designed and installed a silver lid on it, making it a perfect companion for reading!
Shen Ruyi read for a while, then picked up the cup and took a sip of the spiritual spring water. Suddenly, she felt that there was a place in the third volume that she couldn't connect to because she hadn't read the whole thing!
She wanted to take the third volume and read it together with the fourth volume, so Shen Ruyi left her desk and went to the bookshelf to look for the book...
What a coincidence! At this moment, a young man wearing a crane cloak worth a million gold slowly went up to the second floor. He was none other than the triumphant war god Qin Beiyu!
He didn't want to stay in the palace. Seeing his mother's unhappy expression, he felt uncomfortable. He could only come out to find a book to read. He wanted to learn about "The Veritable Records of the Great Qin", but two volumes of "The Veritable Records of the Great Qin" were missing in the palace. It was said that a complete set was borrowed from the Sifang Bookstore in the city, so he came here.
The man went up to the second floor and came directly to the reading table. On the long table there was a bamboo tube with a lid, and in front of it was a copy of "The Great Qin Records", the fourth volume.
Qin Beiyu thought it was arranged by his father, the prince. He had not changed and was still as careful as before, taking care of everything for him.
Sitting there and starting to read, Qin Beiyu felt thirsty and without thinking too much, he picked up the bamboo tube and took a sip. He felt the water was extremely sweet, so he drank it all in one gulp, finishing the cup of spiritual spring water!
Suddenly, there was a thudding sound coming from the stairs, and it felt like at least four or five people were coming up.
I can still hear the sound of someone talking: The young county lady is reading a book here!
I'm going to read a book. Maybe the little county lady can say something to me!
Not to mention the little county lady talking to me, it would be enough if she just looked at me!
Stop talking, hurry up and grab a seat, or there will be no more seats if you are late...
Don't be stupid, guys! Can you just sit there? Go find a book and sit here...
I saw four or five young men coming up, each with greasy hair and powdered face, smelling of powder, and they all rushed into the bookshelf to look for books.
At this moment, Qin Beiyu smelled a fragrance, and his hair stood on end instinctively!
The next moment, a sweet voice came: "This glass of water is mine! Go quickly..."
Before Qin Beiyu could even get angry, he felt a warm little hand grabbing his hand and pulling him away...
