Chapter 702: Notebook (3)
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
“Mother, look. This book is very interesting.”
The six-year-old girl was at an age where she liked to share everything with her mother. If she saw anything beautiful, interesting, or annoying, she had to tell her mother.
This scene made Wei Jiaoniang envious and jealous. Her brat was constantly saying “Mother wouldn’t understand.”
Wei Jiaoniang couldn’t help but think: Perhaps it’s not bad to give my eldest son another sister Then he will have a considerate heart.
Wei Jiaoniang chuckled and leaned over to talk to the little girl. “Zhen’er, can 1 take a look too?”
Chu Zhen smiled shyly and nodded.
Her little finger moved on the open page and she said excitedly, “Mother, Aunt, the method written in this book is very interesting. It says that it can brew the purest and strongest wine. Mother, can we go back and try?”
Gu Yanfei smiled and nodded.
Chu Zhen not only liked reading but had a particular fondness for mechanical arts. At her young age, she had already pored over “Heavenly Works” multiple times and even crafted items like wooden oxen and flowing horses, sleeve arrows, repeating crossbows, and more with her own hands.
Gu Yanfei and Chu Yi had always indulged their children. Apart from the necessary homework, they could learn whatever they wanted.
There was even less of a need to talk about the former Emperor, Chu Qi. He couldn’t wait to pluck the moon in the sky for his grandchildren.
“Mother, this book also has the method to make sugar…” Chu Zhen happily flipped to another page.
At first, Gu Yanfei didn’t care too much about this book, but when she saw the words in the book clearly, her heart skipped a beat.
It was a very familiar handwriting.
She had seen the words many times.
Gu Yanfei’s pupils moved slightly. With a complicated expression, she said, “Is this book called ‘Tingzhi Diary’?”
Chu Zhen blinked in surprise and blurted out, “Mother, how do you know?”
Gu Yanfei slowly closed the book. The blue book skin was extremely worn out. As expected, the words “Tingzhi Diary” were written on it. However, because the book had been around for a long time, the title was slightly damaged.
This book actually appeared “again” in this way!
In her previous life, she accidentally found this “Tingzhi Diary” after becoming an adult, but not in this bookstore.
At that time, she couldn’t understand what was written in the “Tingzhi Diary” until her brother, Gu Yuan, injured his leg and couldn’t walk. Even the imperial physician said that Gu Yuan’s leg was hopeless, but she didn’t give up and tried to go to various bookshops to buy various medical books, medicine books, and miscellaneous books
She accidentally discovered the method to brew wine and make sugar in this “Tingzhi Diary” and felt that she might be able to use the secret recipe to make a living. She thought that as long as she had the ability to settle down, she could completely leave the Marquis Mansion with her big brother.
In her previous life, she was too lonely and easily trusted others. She thought that Yu Chaoyun was her only friend and could be trusted. However, Yu Chaoyun betrayed her and stole the “Tingzhi Diary”.
Yu Chaoyun even gave the method to make sugar to the British Duchess. The British Duchess opened several shops in the capital in a row and started to sell a large amount of white sugar and cotton candy. These two types of sugar swept through the entire scene. The British Duchess earned a lot of money, but it cut off Gu Yanfei’s only way out.
In her previous life, Gu Yanfei hated Yu Chaoyun for betraying her and stabbing her in the back.
Deng deng deng…
Suddenly, there was the sound of rushing downstairs from the right.
Gu Yanfei and Wei Jiaoniang subconsciously looked in the direction of the voice and saw an uneasy back view. A woman in a green coat skirt that was neither new nor old walked down the stairs hurriedly. A wooden hairpin was inserted in her neatly combed round bun.
The waiter downstairs shouted nervously, “Madam, be careful downstairs and walk slowly.”
Yu Chaoyun didn’t dare slow down at all. Instead, she walked even faster, as if she was fleeing.
“Eh? This person seems a little familiar…” Wei Jiaoniang muttered softly, “Have 1 seen her somewhere?”
She frowned and thought for a moment. She couldn’t remember for a moment, so she gave up.
She had seen many people.
Wei Jiaoniang retracted her gaze and looked at the “Tingzhi Diary” in Gu Yanfei’s hand.
Gu Yanfei stared at the staircase steadily. A stream of light flashed in her eyes until the green figure disappeared from her vision.
“Mother.” Chu Yun stood straight beside Chu Zhen and asked acutely, “You know this book?”
Chu Zhen’s red face was tilted with curiosity.
Even Wei Jiaoniang’s curiosity was aroused.
Gu Yanfei swept her gaze across the three curious faces. It was rare for her to leave them hanging. “You’ve also heard of this book.”
Wei Jiaoniang was at a loss. She repeated “Tingzhi Diary” several times, but she still couldn’t remember it.
Chu Zhen took the book from her mother and flipped through it page by page, thinking seriously.
Chu Yun’s brows twitched as he touched his chin.
When Gu Yanfei saw her son’s small action, she smiled in amusement. In the next moment, Chu Yun’s clear gaze met hers. He probed, “Mother, could it be…”
Gu Yanfei nodded with a smile.
Wei Jiaoniang was about to scratch her ears and cheeks. She felt that Gu Yanfei had really been led astray by Chu Yi.
After obtaining his mother’s affirmation, Chu Yun confidently placed his hands behind her back and said, “Great-great-grandfather Chu Jing wrote it.”
Wei Jiaoniang blinked and blinked again. She felt as if a bolt of lightning had struck her heart.
Not many people knew about Emperor Taizu’s writing. Even Gu Yanfei only knew about it after she married Chu Yi in this lifetime and saw some scribbles left behind by Emperor Taizu in the palace.
Wei Jiaoniang immediately felt that the broken book in front of her suddenly became dazzling.
This was actually the legendary “Emperor Taizu’s Notebook”!
