What Ling Hai said is probably correct, Yun Shang is in this position now, if she wants any book, she really doesn't need to go to a study outside the palace to find it herself.
On the second day when I went to ask about the study, I took a few books with me.
"This is what the empress wants, including Liu Cang's city chronicle, and some books about Liu Cang written by famous local literati in Liu Cang. The older ones are more than two hundred years ago. , as well as the ones that were finished the year before last... and the two books that the empress wanted, and they are also here."
Yun Shang nodded and asked Qian Zhuo to put all the books on the table.
On the top is a book called "Ingenuity", which was one of the two books that Yun Chang saw yesterday, and Ling Hai took away.
Yun Chang reached out and took the book, flipped through a few pages at random, and frowned slightly.
This book talks about craftsman skills, from woodworking to ironware, from some utensils that people use daily to weapons, everything. It tells how those craftsmen used their ingenuity to make some very useful tools. from.
Yunshang put the book aside, and took another "Biography of Duiyun", which is about how to build a house as tall as possible.
These two books don't seem to have much connection, but because of Luo Qingyan's words yesterday, Yun Shang also saw the connection. These two books are both related to construction work.
However, even though they are both construction works, the content here is quite different, isn't it too big
It makes people completely unable to see the slightest clue.
Xia Houjing, what is he secretly building? What are you planning
"Your Majesty, what's in this book? Why is Your Majesty looking so sad?" Seeing Yun Shang's expression, Qian Zhuo finally couldn't help opening her mouth.
Only then did Yunshang come back to her senses, she just smiled and shook her head: "It's okay, I just feel that Ling Hai is really a former tutor, and the things he read are all obscure, these two books, I don't understand it at all."
Hearing what Yunshang said, Qianzhuo laughed: "What's the matter with slaves? What does it matter if you don't understand? There are so many books in the world, you can't understand every one of them, right? Isn’t there a common saying? There is a specialization in art. If the empress wants to know what is said in it, go directly to someone who can understand it, and explain it to the empress in easy-to-understand words. Is it? There is always someone who can understand... "
Yun Shang raised her eyelids, but her eyes lit up: "Hey, why didn't I realize that my family is so smart? You are right, I can't understand, there must be someone who can see I understand."
Since it was a book related to construction work, she went to find someone who was good at it, and looked carefully at the books on the book list, so she might be able to get a general idea of what Xia Houjing wanted to do.
Qianzhuo was a little embarrassed to be praised by Yunshang, so she just smiled: "I just said that casually, just casually."
Yun Chang laughed, put the two books aside, Fu picked up the books about Liu Cang, and flipped through them casually.
After reading a few pages, I heard Qianliu's voice from outside: "Your Majesty, Qianyin has entered the palace."
Yun Chang paused slightly with her fingers flipping through the book, and then raised a smile: "Why don't you invite her in quickly?"
The bead curtain was lifted, and Qianyin walked in behind Qianliu, and smiled and greeted Yunshang: "Greetings to the empress..."
Yun Shang pointed to the stool beside her: "Sit down and talk."
Seeing Qianyin sitting down, Yunshang smiled and said: "I haven't seen you for a few days. Now that you suddenly enter the palace, I suddenly feel a little nervous, but there is something wrong with Xiaoji's business? Now Xiaoji's business What's the matter? After all, it's my own business, and I have to care about it, have you made any money?"
"That's naturally very good. The guests come like a cloud, and the empress just sits in the palace and counts the silver." Qianyin blinked and smiled brightly.
Yun Shang couldn't help laughing when she heard the words: "Then I can rest assured."
Turning his eyes, he asked again: "How are you doing recently?"
Qianyin nodded, her face turned slightly red suddenly: "Very good."
Yun Chang blinked: "Okay, that's fine, why are you blushing?"
It's just that her eyes fell on Qianyin's body, and she saw her hands protecting her lower abdomen indistinctly, and Yun Chang's mind suddenly came to clarity: "Are you... have it?"
Qianyin didn't expect Yunshang to be so sharp, so she was taken aback, but she nodded obediently, with a shy expression on her face.
Now it was Yun Chang's turn to be stunned, and after a long while, he couldn't help but click his tongue: "Really? How long has it been?"
Qianyin coughed softly: "It's only been two months, and I haven't shown much pregnancy yet."
"Okay, okay." Yunshang laughed, and raised her eyes to look at Qianliu and Qianzhuo, both of them had joyful expressions on their faces.
"Congratulations, Sister Qianyin."
Since Qianyin came in, the smile on Yunshang's face has not stopped: "Excellent, excellent, that's good. Seeing that both of you have a good home, I feel relieved. Zhao Yingjie Ri is about to return to Jincheng, and his marriage with Qin Yi is about to be put on the agenda."
As soon as this remark came out, everyone was a little surprised: "Sister Qinyi and Zhao Yingjie?"
Yun Chang nodded: "Zhao Yingjie is mature and stable. He was harmed by my unreliable sister before, but he can be regarded as a good man, and he will definitely treat Qin Yi well."
"That's really a happy event. The empress is about to hold a queen conferment ceremony. Qianyin is pregnant, and sister Qinyi is getting married. Three blessings are coming."
The crowd laughed for a while, but Qianyin suddenly remembered the purpose of her trip, so she restrained her expression and said: "Your Majesty, a servant has entered the palace today to report something."
Seeing Qianyin's expression, Yunshang restrained the smile on her face: "What happened?"
Qianyin hurriedly said: "In the past two days, the hidden stakes we set up in the city found that the city seems to be a bit uneven. In fact, they are all relatively small things. It's just that the hidden stakes gathered the information and connected them all, but Something seems wrong."
"Tell me."
"Many restaurants and teahouses in the city with a relatively large number of customers have changed storytellers, and those storytellers are almost all unfamiliar faces. Several large theater troupes have also changed troupe owners. Several large downtowns in the southeast, northwest, There are more jugglers. Even, there seem to be many more beggars in the city, and those beggars are a little different from ordinary beggars. They don't look like real beggars, but rather looking for information... "
