Chapter 58: Sending Books

  Thank you for the reward from Piyawang and book friend 090126215124970

  Shu Yao finished copying, tomorrow will be sent to the second brother, not all men are self-proclaimed heroes, Shu Yao heard from Ama that their ancestors were capable, and one of the most famous battles was a victory of the weak over the strong, defeating Outer Mongolia and making them surrender. What emperor was it? Shu Yao can't remember clearly, emperors without military achievements wouldn't be granted the title of Zhongyong Duke, many royal family members didn't receive this title. After the death of the Khan, the succeeding emperor, Shu Yao remembers it was Shunzhi, Shunzhi was very sad and gave a grand funeral, the regent at that time expressed approval, Shu Lu's ancestors were valued by both Shunzhi and the regent, therefore they kept their title of Zhongyong Duke and weren't purged by Shunzhi after the regent fell.

  Shu Yao stretched her waist, and the reason was that she knew the history of crossing horses. Shu Yao thought about it, wasn't he worried about the butterfly effect? What if the history changed because of him? As a pure science student, Shu Yao was very skeptical about this. Even a slight change would cause fluctuations in space. How could he be so confident that history would proceed as usual? Shu Yao wondered if it was because he had not lived through the changes yet, but now... it was already different from what was written in the history books?

  "Anyway, I don't know about history, just take it one day at a time, changes in history have nothing to do with me."

  Shu Yao, who had figured it out, made a living by eating sweet potatoes. Originally, the land could have been used to plant roses, but Shu Yao only planted roses on two plots of land and continued to plant high-grade sweet potatoes on the other two plots as usual. Roasted sweet potatoes were what Shu Yao loved to eat, while roses were for appreciation. Moreover, Shu Yao couldn't take them out from the space, and she didn't like planting. As for upgrading the space, Shu Yao was very indifferent. If she could cultivate all the land in her lifetime, that would be enough.

  Munching on sweet potatoes, Shu Yao examined the space. The house was now a brick one, and that small river flowed wider than before, surrounding the fields and flowing around them. No matter how hard Shu Yao thought about it, she couldn't figure out where this living water came from. The terrain had all become high ground, and Shu Yao could see the water flowing and moving. She licked her fingers clean, washed her hands, shook off the water droplets, and sighed, "It's reasonable and natural, so space doesn't exist."

  Shu Yao wasn't interested in staying in the space and didn't feel any spiritual energy, nor did she think the air was particularly fresh. She thought that being born into a wealthy family with no industrial pollution in ancient times would be perfect for a life of leisure, and she could just eat and wait for death. Shu Yao bowed to the sky, "Thank you, heaven, for fulfilling my wish. I will continue to work hard."

  Shu Yao missed the soft bed, the whole house was filled with a sleep-inducing fragrance. It would be foolish not to enjoy good fortune. Shu Yao didn't know if Li Qi's space had spiritual energy or not, but as long as she was comfortable, that was all that mattered. After leaving the space, she pulled up the quilt and rubbed her face against the brocade bedspread, soon falling fast asleep. Nothing could disturb Shu Yao's sleep.

  Qingchen Shu Yao accompanied Guwalgiya to finish breakfast, and then took the initiative to leave with E Niang. Guwalgiya was stunned, wondering why this girl was so diligent today?

  "What is Shu Yao holding in her hand?"

  "Back Mrs., is book."

  The maid serving Gual Jia couldn't believe it, Gual Jia looked at the sun rising normally outside and thought of her daughter's temperament, which was too abnormal. Gual Jia became worried, "You go and keep an eye on Shu Yao, if there's anything unusual, come back and tell me immediately."

  Yu Mo kneeled and followed Shu Yao out the door. Yu Mo was the eldest daughter of the Gua Erjia family, her parents were all in the mansion. Although they weren't born into a noble family, her father had received great kindness from Zhiyuan, so their whole family sold themselves into slavery to manage the Gua Erjia family's jewelry and other precious items, she was a trusted maid of the Gua Erjia family.

  "Ah, Yao'er, you never give me a moment's peace."

  Shu Yao went to find Er Ge Shu Yi, because Guan Jia Shi had not allowed Shu Yi to go out recently. Shu Yi was not like Da Ge Shu Xuan who loved reading books, and he couldn't stay in the house for long. Guan Jia Shi understood the personalities of the three siblings very well, so she prepared a spacious and bright study room for Shu Xuan, satisfying his need to read books. For Shu Yao, she prepared a comfortable bedroom, exquisite clothes and jewelry, delicious pastries, satisfying her desire to indulge in food and leisure. As for Shu Yi, Guan Jia Shi specially set up a martial arts training ground, erected an archery target, and prepared some sturdy bows for him to practice his arm strength. She even invited a veteran soldier from the army to come back to their hometown to instruct Shu Yi.

  Gualjia knew that all the old soldiers who could survive in the army had something to learn from, and hoped that Shuyi would build a career, but keeping his life was the most important thing. He wanted Shuyi to learn from the experiences of the old soldiers, so as not to be at a loss when he went to the battlefield. Gualjia had never thought of leaving Shuyi in the capital, and his son must have some achievements if he were sent out. If Shuyi was like Shuxuan who loved reading books, Gualjia would be disappointed. As a noble lady of the Tang Dynasty, she must have a son who was good at riding and shooting, and extraordinary in martial arts. Shuxuan had to take the imperial examination and become a scholar, so Gualjia placed all her hopes on Shuyi.

  Guaerjia resented the Qing dynasty for failing to pacify the Northwest, how could a small Zhungar tribe not be pacified? Whether it was Emperor Taizong or Emperor Gaozong, when did the Tang Dynasty ever suffer such a loss? Under Empress Wu Zetian's rule, foreign countries had to pay tribute and acknowledge allegiance. Although in her heart, Guaerjia looked down on Aixinjueluo of the same ethnic origin, she complained that the Han people were too spineless and didn't resist. Where did the dignity of the Tang Dynasty men go?

  The Manchu occupation of the Central Plains is the heavenly dynasty, and it's not allowed to be offended. Gua'erjia thought that the Qing Dynasty lacked masculinity, and what happened to the Eight Banners' children after entering the pass? Gua'erjia absolutely did not allow her to raise a son, every day carrying bird cages and having nothing to do, teasing cats and dogs.

  Today, Shu Yi was practicing archery in the martial arts arena. He wore a sapphire blue sleeveless shirt and soft-soled boots with a hidden tip. His braid was wrapped around his neck, and the azure ribbon hung down on his chest. Shu Yi drew his bow and shot an arrow, hitting the bullseye with ease. His expression remained calm as if it were nothing out of the ordinary. Shu Yao looked at the red bullseye covered in densely packed arrow feathers and said, "Second Brother is so formidable."

  Shu Yi Ping calmed his mind and spirit, shot out the last arrow, also hitting the bullseye. Shu Yi wiped away sweat and asked: "How did you manage to get out of the door?"

  Shu Yao was puzzled, why did she come out and surprise everyone so much? Shu Yao didn't think about how lazy and sloppy she usually was either. "Second Brother."

  Shu Yi put down his bow and arrow, "Don't say it, I won't say you did, are you here to ask me to sneak out with you to see the excitement of Ma Fa?"

  Big Brother Shu Xuan went to Old Master's courtyard early in the morning with great enthusiasm, as if he was going to do something big. Shu Yao shook her head and said: "Second Brother, you're not being fair, how can we sneak a peek? Of course, we should go openly and honestly! Marquis's courtyard also has many flowers, not just peach blossoms."

  An object flew over, Shu Yi caught it, and Shu Yao smiled: "Second brother's skills are pretty good."

  Shu Yi flipped open the book and took a glance, looking at Shu Yao in surprise: "Where did you get this from?" Shu Yi could see the value of the book, Shu Yao smiled mischievously: "It was dug out from the Ma Fa study, it's said to be an heirloom left behind by our ancestors, second brother, carrying on the family legacy is all up to you now."

  Shu Yao kicked up her foot and patted Shu Yi's shoulder, "If you dare to learn from our ancestors' romantic and flirtatious ways, Mother will beat you. However, our ancestors' deployment of troops is quite interesting, Second Brother, study hard! I really hope to become the younger sister of a great general, then see who dares to bully me."

  The rice weevils have a guaranteed life, Shu Yao thinks the more beautiful, the big brother is the champion, the second brother is the general, and Shu Yao's little days will be exceptionally nourishing.
