While talking, Xie Tingyue suddenly slapped her thigh and ran away, as if she suddenly discovered something important, Chu Mu was worried, and turned her wheelchair to follow.
Xie Tingyue ran into the study.
"Where is it... I remember it being here..."
He muttered in a low voice, flipping through the bookshelf in the study, and almost took out one book to read, no!
There is no book "Great Power Economy"!
Chu Mu stepped forward slowly: "What are you looking for? Do you want me to help?"
Xie Tingyue slapped his forehead, Chu Mu's favorite book in the whole mansion was Chu Mu, especially the study in his yard, he was familiar with every book, and there was no one he hadn't read, so he quickly asked, "There is a copy of "Great Power Economy", do you want to read it?" Do you know where it is?"
""Great Power Economy"?" Chu Mu frowned slightly, "I don't remember such a book."
In an instant, Xie Tingyue's heart went cold.
Chu Mu has an excellent memory, and he still has a bit of obsessive-compulsive disorder when reading books. He can't buy new ones after reading them. He doesn't remember, but he just hasn't seen this book before, and it doesn't exist on the bookshelf at all!
But it's impossible not to have it, Xie Tingyue remembers it very clearly, she put it on the bookshelf with her own hands, how could it not be there
Xie Tingyue began to pull her hair.
worry.
Can't figure it out.
Chu Mu grabbed his hand that was hurting him, and rubbed it lightly: "What's wrong?"
Xie Tingyue let out a breath slowly: "Probably... I remembered it wrong, so I'll look for it elsewhere."
Chu Mu gently kissed the back of his hand: "Okay."
She tossed and turned all night and couldn't sleep well, thinking about it all the time, Xie Tingyue got up before dawn the next day, and continued to search, in various places, in every corner.
Still can't find it.
He searched all over the house and couldn't find it, and in the end he still didn't give up, so he came to the study again.
He always felt that he remembered correctly, it was here...
There really is!
Seeing the blue cover and the four words written in old black ink, Xie Tingyue almost burst into tears, so he said, he remembered correctly!
But why didn't you come here before
"Ma'am here?"
There was a soft knock at the door, Xie Tingyue turned her head and saw that it was Chu Mu who had come: "I'm bored sitting around, I'm here to find a book to read."
Xie Tingyue found "Great Power Economy", she was in a very good mood and smiled brightly: "Okay, do you want me to help?"
He had just recommended himself to find books for Chu Mu, but when he turned back to look at the bookshelves, he broke out in a cold sweat, and "Great Power Economy" was gone again!
It was clearly here just now!
Xie Tingyue narrowed her eyes slightly, licked her lips, and tried to calm down her voice: "Chu Mu, my mouth suddenly feels a little dry, can you pour me a cup of tea?"
Chu Mu: "Huh? Who am I?"
Xie Tingyue turned her head stiffly: "Husband, husband, can you pour me a cup of tea?"
Chu Mu rubbed his hand: "Be good."
Only then did he leave with a smile.
In fact, such things as pouring tea do not need to be done by the master himself. What are there so many people doing down here? But it was obvious that Xie Tingyue had something to do, Chu Mu also saw it, and cooperated with the other party's excuse.
A little joke, just to reassure the other person, no matter what happens, don't be nervous, don't be afraid, I'm here.
Xie Tingyue watched Chu Mu leave, and turned around—
Sure enough, "Great Power Economy" is here again!
Appearing and disappearing suddenly, as if hiding from someone...
Is this perfect!
Xie Tingyue took out this book, carefully read it inside and out, wondering what was different about it, and then found something different.
There is a small piece of dark brown on the spine, which is inconspicuous. Open the page and break it slightly—there is the same trace inside.
is blood.
Why... is there blood in the book? whose blood
Xie Tingyue shook her head, her fingertips trembled a little, this was not important, what was important was that he seemed to have encountered a ghost!
Unable to suppress the curiosity in his heart, he performed the experiment while being nervous.
Books are just books, fragile and fragile, can't speak and have no superpowers, just like ordinary books, the difference is that no one else can see it except him.
He tried it with Chu Mu and different servants. When other people were around, the book would disappear, and it couldn't be said to disappear. It was because the sense of existence was reduced, and everyone would subconsciously ignore it, including himself. When there is no one else, he can read as he pleases, and look at it in whatever way he wants.
Xie Tingyue didn't know what happened in this book and what secrets it contained. In his previous life, he would never believe such things, but now, he is a person who has been reborn once. The world is vast, opportunities are endless, too many things can't be explained clearly, anything can happen in the world...
Anyway, the book is in his hand, only he can see it, it is his.
Blood…
Xie Tingyue's long and slender fingertips slid across the skinny brown spot, which is related to blood, most likely blood relatives? blood
Is this book a family heirloom
But his mother was an orphan in a disaster year, where did the family history come from
Xie Tingyue lowered his head and carefully looked at the "Great Power Economy" in his hand.
This book is very thick and the content is very profound. Every time I study it, I have different feelings, and it will definitely inspire him to think about various issues. He can't chew too much, he thinks that his comprehension is limited, and he basically understands the last question, and only reads it after he understands it thoroughly. So until now, he has not finished reading this book...
Flipping her palm, turning back and forth, Xie Tingyue turned to the last page, wanting to see who the author was.
Not signed.
There isn't any epilogue either, it's like...the book isn't finished yet.
Xie Tingyue frowned, for some reason, she just remembered the surname 'Tao'.
Is his biological mother really an orphan with no background? With no background at all, why would someone kill her? The Chiman Mission is so sure that he has a relationship with Mr. Tao, isn't it...
He really wanted a picture of Tao Mushu's calligraphy.
Compared with this book, maybe there is an answer
As soon as he thought of it, Xie Tingyue immediately ordered his men to search for an authentic painting by Mr. Tao.
His movements were not big, and as usual, no one would have noticed, but why is everyone staring at him now? Even a small matter can be known to everyone and reveal countless deep meanings.
Everyone is very curious about the stories of the past, especially young people, who admire the demeanor of their predecessors very much, but Tao Mushu is 'unspeakable'. For some reason, the first emperor crossed out the traces of this person.
But there is no record in the annals, the capital is not allowed to mention it, and there are many unofficial history stories outside. Mr. Tao has an outstanding demeanor. If Xie Er has something to do with this person, if he learns a thing or two from his predecessors, it will definitely be a blessing for Daan merchants!
Everyone moved, and the Eight Immortals crossed the sea to show their abilities, digging deep into Xie Er's past in various ways.
Qi Wenhai and Liu Yuanshan were the first to bear the brunt, and no one could escape.
After finding out that it was a matter of showing his face, Qi Wenhai didn't think about covering it up for his good friend, and told all about his past acquaintances and cooperation. He is also like a storyteller, creating atmosphere and exaggerating emotions in various ways. He only tells Xie Tingyue that there are heaven and earth, and he doesn't even have to use an abacus. Just by counting with his fingers, he knows how to do the business, and someday he can get it. How much do you earn!
Liu Yuanshan got more advice because he was close to the water, worried that he would not be able to understand it for a while, so he wrote down all Xie Tingyue's words carefully and collected them into a book. He wanted to cling to this notebook and treat it as a family heirloom, but the visitor was like a wolf, so he just grabbed it and read it! They also had eyes like copper bells, and they clicked their tongues, as if they had taken some magic medicine. They didn't drink tea or eat food. No matter what the environment was, they squatted for a whole day!
Liu Yuanshan was so angry that he blew on his beard for a while, and sighed slowly.
When the young master taught him, he didn't have any private possessions, and he didn't hold anything back. He said that the knowledge may be the same, but people are different, and the depth and breadth of the angle of seeing the problem are different, and the application is different. Smart people can get ahead no matter what. Instead of trying to hide it, it is better to make efforts to diversify the market. The more capable people in this business, the more interesting and vibrant it is.
The son has a beautiful heart and great ambitions, but he behaves very low-key and never shows off. Such a good person, who has suffered so much, who knows that the Xie family screwed up? Liu Yuanshan is worthless for the son! Now I have the opportunity to let this group of people know what kind of gentleman the young master is!
For a while, the whole capital city was talking good things about Xie Tingyue, and every time the word "Xie Er" was mentioned, no matter the restaurants, teahouses, brothels or streets, they were all bustling like chicken blood, no one was more popular than Xie Tingyue !
Xie Tingyue felt that it was difficult to go out...
When he returned home from work that day, Chu Mu was waiting for him in his room.
"Duke Tao's character, I found it."
Xie Tingyue was stunned when she heard this sentence, but she still hadn't come to her senses: "What did you say...?"
Chu Mu sighed softly, and repeated clearly: "I said Mr. Tao's character, and I found it."
Xie Tingyue almost jumped up: "Where is it?"
"this."
Chu Mu picked up the box that was casually placed by the table, and opened it. Inside was a pair of scrolls tied with ribbons. Untie the ribbon, unroll the scroll, and the words on the paper rush to your face.
The silver hook painted on iron, the pen is very important, the pen is hidden, and the view has the momentum of mountains and seas, with an indescribable sense of freedom and detachment.
Xie Tingyue couldn't help trembling her fingertips when she saw this word, without it, this word is very familiar, it is exactly the same as "Great Power Economy"!
The sea will turn into mulberry fields, the sea will dry and rocks will rot, everything in this world will change, only the spirit between words will not, that book... must be written by Tao Gong!
So no matter whether they met each other or not, whether they knew about the existence of the other party, the knowledge he learned, the way of thinking in his mind, all depended on Tao Gong to teach him. It is not wrong to say that he is Tao Gong's disciple.
That book has been by his side since he can remember. When he was naughty when he was a child, he didn't have any curiosity about it, so he never asked about it, but the things around him were either given by his biological mother or his aunt, there is no other possibility.
In addition to the bloodstain, no one else can see it, only him can see the peculiarity——
"Chu Mu," Xie Tingyue's voice was a little tight, "I might... really be a descendant of Duke Tao."
He hugged Xie Tingyue into his arms on the weekend, gently rubbed his head, and pinched the back of his neck to comfort him.
Xie Tingyue hugged him back.
The two just hugged each other, no one spoke, the room was very quiet, only the clear heartbeat could be heard, their own and the other's.
After a long time, Chu Mu said: "Someone wants to see you, do you want to see?"
Xie Tingyue's voice was much calmer: "Who?"
Chu Mu: "The person who brought this picture."
Xie Tingyue paused and said, "See you."
Everything has to be faced, he already has a feeling, and he has prepared early, hasn't he
The person who came was Mrs. Hang.
Xie Tingyue was surprised for a moment.
The old lady looked at him with excited eyes: "But... "Great Power Economy"?"
He even knows this!
Xie Tingyue stood up immediately, wanting to go to the study to get the book.
He was very curious, whether Mrs. Hang could see it!
Mrs. Hang stopped him: "Good boy, don't be busy, the old lady can't read the book."
Xie Tingyue: "Huh?"
Mrs. Hang wiped the corners of her eyes, with a smile on her lips: "Mr. Tao is such a wonderful and beautiful person, how can he be an ordinary person? The things he left behind have their own organs, and they are definitely not something that others can see... Xiao Young master, the old lady has found you!"
As she spoke, she burst into tears and bent her knees to the point of kneeling.
Xie Tingyue quickly stopped her: "Madam, this is—"
"Young Master is a descendant of Duke Tao—a descendant of Duke Tao!"
Mrs. Hang was very excited. She looked at Xie Tingyue and wanted to reach out to touch his face, but she didn't dare. Her eyes were filled with tears, which were bitter and comforting.
"Don't get excited, old lady. I'm right here and I won't run away. Let's have a cup of tea first and calm down, okay?"
While coaxing the old lady, Xie Tingyue couldn't stop thinking about it.
Chu Mu had inquired about the deeds of this Mr. Tao, and he seemed to be... a little ambiguous with the late emperor. Did he even have descendants
After drinking a cup of tea, the old lady calmly breathed out, and before the two of them asked, she said, "Duke Tao devoted himself to serving the country, and got along well with the former emperor and ministers. He never got married and gave birth to any children. This is a fact. , you two don’t have to doubt.”
Xie Tingyue glanced at Chu Mu, so the unspeakable ambiguity was real.
Who is he then? If Mr. Tao had no children, wouldn't Mrs. Hang's words be contradictory
Mrs. Hang: "Mr. Tao has no children, but he has a younger brother who has been brought up by himself."
