Jiu Zhang Ji: The Daily Life of the Reborn Daughter

Chapter 139 ＜＜Postpartum Care of Sows＞＞

Qiao Lili told the two of them what she had just seen and what she knew in her previous life. Of course, she couldn't say that she knew it in her previous life. She only said that she sent someone to check and had just received the news.

It was indeed inappropriate to talk about love affairs with a little girl who had not yet reached marriageable age. However, she had to make Su Shiyun be on guard and not fall into Tian Huiqi's trap without realizing it.

Su Shiyun and Chen Ruxin both wanted to see how Tian Huiqi would harass Ke Yang. Being ladies from a scholarly family, they were willing to watch the fun.

Qiao Lili herself didn't want to join in the fun, but she was willing to pamper the two young ladies. She let them change into the clothes they had just chosen in Nishang Pavilion, and then each of them wore a veil, so that even if they were discovered, no one would recognize who they were.

Su Shiyun and Chen Ruxin were dressed up and stood on the stairs on the third floor, looking furtively at the scholars browsing and wandering among the bookshelves below. They soon found their target. Ke Yang was obviously avoiding Tian Huiqi.

Before, on the first floor, as soon as he entered the door, Ke Yang rejected Tian Huiqi and went to the bookshelf. However, Tian Huiqi said that she came to buy an inkstone, so she insisted on going to the place where the inkstones were placed and pretending to take a look.

In just a short while, Ke Yang's figure disappeared behind the rows of bookshelves.

Tian Huiqi came here just to meet Ke Yang by chance. She was afraid that Ke Yang had disappeared, so she didn't bother to hide her purpose and chased Ke Yang into the rows of bookshelves.

Ke Yang's purpose was not simple either. He was wondering if Su Shiyun got sick or recovered after she fell into the water last time. He couldn't ask her in person, but a glance at her from a distance would be fine.

The three young ladies, accompanied by their maids, were very conspicuous. Ke Yang soon realized that there was no trace of Su Shiyun and the others on the first floor, so he went up to the second floor. Tian Huiqi followed the corner of Ke Yang's clothes and followed him up to the second floor.

The second floor has better privacy. Tian Huiqi looked around and saw that there was no one around, so she blocked Ke Yang between a row of bookshelves.

"Miss, please make way." There was a wall behind Ke Yang, and bookshelves on both sides. Tian Huiqi was blocking him in front of him, so he couldn't get out. At this moment, even if he was slow, he could sense Tian Huiqi's intention. He frowned and spoke in an impatient tone, not even wanting to call her by her last name.

Tian Huiqi didn't expect Ke Yang to react so strongly. She thought she was as beautiful as a flower and all the young men in the capital should be chasing after her. Whenever she showed some interest in someone, that person should respond to her immediately. When she suddenly heard this unfriendly tone, she was panicked for a moment, but she quickly calmed down.

"Mr. Ke, can you help me take that book down? I'm too tall to reach it." Tian Huiqi pointed at the books on the top row of shelves to Ke Yang's right.

Ke Yang was eager to get rid of Tian Huiqi. He raised his arm, but without turning his head to look at the bookshelf, he just ran a finger across the books and asked coldly, "Which one?"

Tian Huiqi raised her head and watched Ke Yang's bamboo-like long fingers jumping on the books. She only had eyes for that finger and didn't even look at the name on the book. "Yeah, yes, this is it."

Ke Yang bent this finger and used it in conjunction with his thumb to take the book down and handed it to Tian Huiqi. Only then did he see that the title of the book was "Postpartum Care for Sows".

Tian Huiqi also saw the name of the book, her face instantly flushed, and she hurriedly said: "No, not this one, it's the one next to it."

Ke Yang calmly put the book back and took the next book next to it and handed it to Tian Huiqi, "How to Make Sows Give Birth to More Pigs at One Time".

Tian Huiqi felt terrible and stammered, "No, not this one, but the next one."

Ke Yang raised his hands, took down the books in front and behind that row, and handed them to Tian Huiqi, "Can you move aside?"

No matter how strong Tian Huiqi was, she was still a girl. She was shocked by the titles of the two books. She mechanically took the book handed over by Ke Yang and dodged. Ke Yang walked past her quickly.

He had already discovered that the person he wanted to see was not on the second floor, and he ran into the pestering Tian Huiqi again. He was in a very bad mood. He thought that either that friend was bragging about seeing three noble ladies who looked like fairy concubines, or they had already bought things and left.

He picked up a copy of Yan Zhenqing's calligraphy at random, went to the door of the study, paid the bill and left.

After Ke Yangfeng left, Tian Huiqi looked at the books in her hands, including "The Secret of Hens Laying One Egg a Day", "Forage Ratio for Cattle", "Prevention of Common Poultry Diseases", and "How to Choose Breeding Pigs"...

When she saw the names of these books, her hands felt as if they were burned, and the books in her hands fell to the ground with a "rustle". The sound attracted the little book boy who was sorting books on the second floor. He saw a young lady dressed very elegantly standing next to the bookshelf in the corner, with books scattered on the ground. He was very confused.

"Here are all books on agriculture, forestry and breeding. The booklets that young ladies like are on the first floor."

Tian Huiqi left without saying a word, as if escaping.

The little book boy shook his head, walked over resignedly, picked up the books on the ground, wiped them clean, and put them in order again. Fortunately the ground was not dirty, otherwise the new books would be soiled and could not be sold.

He thought to himself, this lady is dressed beautifully, but she is really rude. Generally, in such a situation, you should give her some money. If the room is messy and the study is damaged, they should also pay for the work.

Su Shiyun and Chen Ruxin, who were hiding at the stairs on the third floor, watched the whole scene. They were not far away and the words on the cover of the book were very large. When the book "Postpartum Care for Sows" appeared in front of Tian Huiqi, the two covered their mouths to prevent themselves from laughing out loud.

After seeing Qiao Lili, the two laughed for a long time before they calmed down.

"Sister Lili, you didn't see Tian Huiqi's expression at that time. She looked like she had seen a ghost," Su Shiyun danced and imitated Tian Huiqi's expression. "She really deserves to be called Tian Huiqi. Not only does she bring bad luck to others, but she also brings bad luck to herself."

"It's not just bad luck. You threw several books on the ground, making the little book boy spend a lot of time cleaning them up." Chen Ruxin was a noble lady brought up in a scholarly family. She naturally cherished books. She believed that no matter what the book was about, it would be beneficial to read and should be cherished and protected. How could it be thrown on the ground at will?

"That's right, Sister Lili, she should pay for it." Su Shiyun also cherished those books. "Sister Lili, your study has a complete collection of books, covering all kinds of subjects."

Because to some people, this "Postpartum Care for Sows" is much more useful than those romantic storybooks.

Through this incident, even the oldest Chen Ruxin realized where Tian Huiqi's malice towards Su Shiyun came from. She and Qiao Lili taught Su Shiyun a good lesson.

At dusk, the three of them reluctantly parted.

Qiao Lili looked in the direction where Su Shiyun was going home. The sky was full of colorful clouds. The carriage carrying Su Shiyun seemed to be driving into the sky full of rosy clouds. Infinite blessings rose in Qiao Lili's heart. She hoped that in this life, this simple and beautiful girl would be able to have everything she wanted.
