When they walked all the way to a bookstore, the little girl finally seized the opportunity. She stood behind Ai Yun and called out, "Sister."

Ai Yun turned around reflexively and saw someone calling her. She looked at the girl in front of her in confusion. The girl looked to be about fifteen or sixteen years old. She was wearing ordinary clothes and had a very ordinary hairstyle. If she walked in the crowd, she would disappear without a trace in a second.

"Sister, I saw you were listening to Mr. Liu's storytelling just now. Sister, I just got the full version of that story. Do you want to read it?" Although the little girl was asking a question, she quickly took out a book from her arms and stuffed it into Ai Yun's arms.

"Hey, I don't..." Before she could finish, he turned around and ran out, disappearing in the crowd in a moment.

Ai Yun was stunned by the little girl's behavior. She couldn't catch up with her and could only look at the book carefully.

Well, first of all, it's not poisonous.

Secondly, its name is: After being exiled to an isolated island, I led all the women on the island to independence.

How should I put it, it smells like tomatoes. This author doesn't seem to be innocent.

"What's wrong? What are you looking at?" Zhu Yu, who had just been busy watching the boss introduce the picture book, noticed that something was wrong with Ai Yun, so he moved closer to her and leaned over to look at the book with her.

After reading the title of the book, she looked up and exchanged glances with Ai Yun, and they saw an unusual light in each other's eyes.

The two of them kept silent, and Ai Yun put the book in her arms. She no longer had the heart to go shopping, so she took the servants back home.

On the way back home, there were all kinds of snacks on both sides of the street, the fragrant green rice dumplings, the sweet osmanthus cakes, the fragrant big meat buns, and the sizzling small barbecues, but both of them had no interest in tasting them. They just wanted to go back and see what was written in the book.

After returning to Liu's Mansion, the two went straight back to the courtyard where they lived, closed the door in Zhu Yu's room, and began to murmur to each other.

"The title of this book seems to smell like tomatoes!"

"Yeah, I think so too."

"What's going on?"

"Just now in the bookstore, a little girl called me. I turned around and she told me she had a book for me to read. She stuffed it into my arms and she ran away before I could react."

"Are you going to poison you because we have money?"

"You forgot what I did. I checked it and it's not poisonous."

"Damn, does that mean you and she are the same kind of people?"

"I don't know. Let me read the book first."

Yu Wen, who had just returned from Prince Jing's place and was standing outside the door, heard the conversation between the two carefully. He did not show it on his face, but he had many questions in his heart:

What did these two people do when they went out?

Why would someone notice it?

How can the name of a book have a flavor?

What are tomatoes?

What kind of person is Ai Yun?

Does Prince Jing know that these two women seem a little unusual?

He had originally wanted to take the opportunity of returning the dagger to Prince Jing's guard today to get close to the people around him and take the opportunity to change jobs, but now it seems that he should not move for the time being. These two people might be bad for Prince Jing, and it seems that it is better for him to stay with them.

Did you hear Zhu Yu and Ai Yun sighing from inside the room?

"This sister is really brave. With such a big axe in the head, she can just hit it to death."

"Oh my god, she killed that old man herself? Huh? That's too brave!"

"Don't make noise. I don't like to be disturbed when I'm reading."

"No, I'm really shocked. These sisters, wow, are awesome!"

Yu Wen:?

Brain axe?

Done?

Exciting?

What are these?

If he gets a chance, he will definitely steal this book and read it.

In one day, the two of them finally finished reading the book. As they hadn't read anything for a long time, they still felt unsatisfied. Ai Yun flipped through the book again from the beginning, but didn't see any special numbers or hints. She breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that maybe the girl was really a good person.

She looked at the book cover, which had the author's pen name: Shangguan Xiaoyao.

Well, the name is not very good.

There is another line of words below, which is the name and address of a bookstore. In Aiyun's eyes, there is nothing special about it. After all, modern books are printed like this. This bookstore is quite interesting. When you have nothing to do, you can go there to see if there are any books by this author. It is also nice to buy a few books to relieve boredom.

She suddenly had an idea and finally guessed the girl's motive: "Ayu, do you think this girl gave me the book to lead me to this bookstore?"

Zhu Yu also had an idea: "Yes, first of all, you like the story told by the storyteller, so there is a high probability that you will like this book. If you like it, you will also be interested in Xiaoyao's other works, so you will go to that bookstore and buy more books."

Ai Yun: "That should be what you mean, but I really want to go and see it."

Zhu Yu: "Me too."

Yu Wen: Is it that simple? I have to find a way to go with them.

In the cage in the corner of Prince Jing's study, two pigeons kept jumping around, making a very annoying noise.

Prince Jing looked at the letter in his hand with a gloomy expression.

A dusty guard stood below, not daring to make a sound, as if he was already dead.

Yes, Prince Jing received the letter from his good brother Prince Ding. He wasn't in a bad mood, just a little, yes, irritated.

It was as if he had poor taste and picked a bird. Although he knew he had poor taste, there were people who were willing to chase him every day and offer a high price to buy it, but he and his bird were both dismissive. But suddenly one day the bird wanted to fly into that person's hands, but that person started cursing and didn't even want to look at the bird. What could make him feel that he had poor taste more than this?

Also, couldn't Liu Yinyin be quiet for a while? She had already returned to Beijing, and the news would still reach him. Why didn't he notice that she was so restless before?

But if you think about it carefully, she is a weak woman who wants to redress her family's injustice. She can't rely on herself, so it is understandable that she would ask others for help.

When did I become useless in her eyes?

Forget it. Since she has already made other plans, let her do it on her own. As for the rest, let's wait and see for the sake of our past friendship.

There was a gentle breeze in the small courtyard. Zhu Yu and Ai Yun were leading their servants and the servants from the Liu Mansion to have a barbecue in a pavilion. At first, the servants from the Liu Mansion were a little reserved, but after being busy for a while, they saw that Ai Yun and the other servants were used to it, so they gradually relaxed.

A big-eyed little maid boldly approached Zhu Yu to listen to the gossip.

"You know, when I was on the street during the day, I heard a storyteller tell me that there is an island far away, and it is a matriarchal society!" Zhu Yu had nothing to do and thought that this was a strange thing in ancient times, so he started gossiping with them.

She didn't have any special skills, so she thought of starting from the lower class to see if she could get some useful gossip about the missing woman. The first step was to get closer to her, and the best way to get closer was to gossip and eat melons together!

"Sister Noble, what is a matriarchal society?" The little maid's eyes rolled around, and her little mouth was red from the spicy food she had eaten. In Zhu Yu's eyes, she looked very cute.

"It's a matriarchal society. It's similar to our current society, but the identities of men and women are reversed. Women are in power. There are not many men on the island, and these men are absolutely obedient to the women." Zhu Yu gave a brief account of the situation on the island.

The little maid looked at Zhu Yu in astonishment. The skewers in her hand no longer smelled good. "Is there still a place like this?"

Zhu Yu nodded: "The storyteller told me that."

The little maid bowed, turned around and ran back to the group of maids who were gathered together eating skewers. After a few murmurs, they looked at the Sakura duo. After the Sakura duo nodded, they followed the Sakura duo, holding the skewers in their hands and carrying their own small stools, and walked towards Zhu Yu.

Seeing them coming towards him, Zhu Yu smiled and waved, "Come over here, I don't have much to say here. Of course, barbecue is more fun when you eat with a group of people!"

A group of people surrounded her, and even Yu Wen, who was grilling skewers nearby, secretly concentrated his attention and listened.

What did he hear?

If he were still the emperor, he would have angrily slammed the dragon case, "You are spreading rumors to confuse the people! You are spreading rumors to confuse the people! Drag him out and chop him off!!!"
