Chapter 409 What a coincidence
"How could I have expected such a thing? In my opinion, you and your daughter are still lucky."
Su He congratulated sincerely, "Okay, congratulations on your mother-daughter reunion. I won't disturb your rest. I'll go back first."
"Lotus, don't leave. I have something to talk to you about."
"You say it."
"I want you to accompany me to the Imperial Observatory to see my husband."
Su He looked at Jin Nanzhu's shy face in silence.
I really don't know what's so good about Li Mingfeng. Ever since he got married half a month ago, he always looks so sickly whenever he shows up. Su He got goosebumps all over her body.
"You ask your maid to accompany you. I still have to prepare lessons."
"My maids have to take care of my mother, they are busy. Lotus, please, you are my only friend here."
Su He took a deep breath and said, "You are only allowed to stay for 25 minutes. I won't wait for you when the time comes."
"I promise I'll leave on time, and my husband won't let me stay any longer. He's very dedicated."
Jin Nanzhu nodded repeatedly, and she and Su He rode a horse each, heading towards the Imperial Observatory.
Miaomiao and Tiantian took Liu Niang to the bookstore again.
"Miao Miao, the shopkeeper said a book about regions just arrived. I'll go to the second floor to take a look."
"Okay, I'll come find you after I pick out the storybook."
Tiantian nodded happily, then went upstairs by herself.
Liu Niang on this side was accompanying Miao Miao to choose storybooks.
"Tiantian, you are here."
Tiantian turned around, looked at the boy in front of her, and smiled gently.
"What a coincidence, Xiaoqi, you're here to help your brother find the storybook again?"
Xiao Qi blushed and nodded, "My brother has finished reading the books I selected last time, and he asked me to pick a few more."
Tiantian looked at the boy's empty hands and said, "You haven't chosen yet? There are no storybooks on the second floor. My aunt has already chosen one downstairs. You should hurry up."
"It's okay. I've already made my selection. I thought it was still early, so I came to the second floor to look around. Do you still want to buy some regional chronicles? Two new ones have arrived recently and I just happened to see them."
Tiantian's eyes lit up and she said excitedly.
"Where is it? I want to see."
"It's on the bookshelf at the very edge. There's a book about overseas. I'm sure you'll like it."
Tiantian went to see them and found that the two books were placed on the top shelf of the bookshelf, which she could not reach with her current height.
"This shopkeeper really doesn't know how to do business. He even puts the new book so high."
"I'll get them for you. These two books are both good. You can take them home and read them slowly."
Xiaoqi is a head taller than Tiantian, a big boy of 1.75 meters, so it is not difficult for him to lift it.
Tiantian took the book and couldn't wait to flip through a few pages. Sure enough, it was a book she had never read before.
"Xiao Qi, thank you very much. I want both of them."
Xiao Qi smiled shyly, "As long as you like it, I heard from the shopkeeper that there will be new books arriving next month, so remember to come and have a look then."
"Okay, Xiaoqi, I'll go first. I'm going to look for my aunt."
"Okay, see you next time."
Xiao Qi watched Tiantian go downstairs happily. He watched her walk away with the other two people from outside the second-floor window before going downstairs to pay the bill.
"Didn't I ask you to put your new book in the most conspicuous place? Who told you to put it at the top?"
The shopkeeper sent the customer away and called the waiter over, asking with a frown.
"Boss, I don't know. I clearly put it in the middle of the first bookshelf after entering the door. Maybe a customer saw it and put it in the wrong place."
The waiter looked very innocent and said, "I made sure I put it in the middle."
The shopkeeper wanted to say something, but when he saw another customer coming down, he immediately smiled.
"Xiao Qi, have you finished choosing books?"
Xiao Qi nodded shyly, "Boss, please count these two books in and pack them together with the previous ones. Next time if there are new books on the second floor, please let me know in advance."
The shopkeeper laughed heartily, "Don't worry, I will definitely send someone to inform you that two sets of these two books have arrived, and a customer just bought them. You have a good eye."
Xiao Qi smiled, handed the silver he had prepared to the shopkeeper, and left with the book.
A month later, Tiantian went upstairs again.
"Hey Xiaoqi, you're here to buy books too, what a coincidence."
"What a coincidence, Tiantian. I heard from the shopkeeper that there are new books. I came to take a look."
"Then have you found it?"
"I found it, I'll take you to see it.
Xiaoqi handed the book to Tiantian and talked about the topic that had been brewing in his mind for a long time.
"Have you finished reading the last two books? I saw that it said there is a place where people have blond hair and green eyes."
Tiantian looked up at Xiaoqi, "Did you buy it too? I looked it up, the place is called Yingji, and the book says they speak bird language. I really want to know how they speak it."
"I know someone in the Ministry of Industry who can do it. I'll teach you next time I learn it."
"Really? Then you should study hard."
Tiantian did not leave first this time. The two of them sat at the desk on the second floor and discussed the story in the book.
Two months passed in the blink of an eye, everyone's winter clothes were ready, and New Year's Day was about to come.
On this day, Su He went to the bookstore with Tiantian and Miaomiao, which was a rare occasion.
"Sister, we are already regular customers of this bookstore. The shopkeeper said that we can get a 20% discount on the books we buy. If you have made your selection, please check out with us later."
Miaomiao followed her sister and excitedly told her the good news.
"The person who knocked on our door yesterday was the waiter from this bookstore?"
"Yes, now the shopkeeper will notify us when there are new books."
Su He looked at the two little fools with pity. She guessed that in the eyes of the bookstore owner, these two people were just two fat pigs.
"How's your own script coming along?
"It's only halfway done. Almost there."
Su He was speechless. What a tremendous masterpiece this was. It took him half a year to finish only half of it.
Liu Niang couldn't help laughing, and Tiantian also covered her mouth and smiled secretly.
Miaomiao was very unconvinced, "This is the only book I will write in my lifetime, so of course I have to think carefully about it, because I want it to be passed down to future generations."
"Hahahahaha."
Su He couldn't help but laugh. Her sister had no other advantages except confidence.
"Humph, I, Su Miao, will definitely remember today's humiliation in my heart."
Miaomiao stomped her feet, left everyone behind and rushed into the bookstore.
"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha."
Her response was Su He's louder laughter.
Liu Niang hurried to chase Miaomiao, while Su He walked slowly with Tiantian.
"Aunt, I have already learned how to ride a horse. When will you teach me something else?"
Tiantian looked at Su He expectantly, "Maybe next year. If you are still willing."
Su He touched Tiantian's head and said gently.
This child has been making various preparations for going to sea since she came to the capital. Her diligence is comparable to that of a piece of wood studying. Su He doesn't want to stop her.
Tiantian was very happy. She said goodbye to Suhe and went upstairs.
Su He was strolling slowly on the first floor by himself.
This bookstore is quite large. Su He wandered around for a quarter of an hour and then felt bored and wanted to go upstairs.
"Hello, is that so?"
"Yes, you are right. It is very kind of you."
"I also learned a few words. For example, apple and splash."
"Ai Pu? Do aliens eat apples too?"
"Yes, they have it there too. Apart from their eyes and hair color, they are actually very similar to us."
"But our skin is not as dark as theirs. I heard there is a kind of strange person who becomes invisible at night."
"I've heard that too. I've also heard that there are people with snow-white skin. They are all very tall, two heads taller than me."
Su He heard Tiantian exclaim, "Really? You are already tall enough, but there is someone two heads taller than you? Doesn't that make him a giant?"
"It's true. I asked the officers who went out to sea, and they said they saw it."
Su He looked at the two people who were having a heated discussion and left quietly.
