Traveling through ancient times: daily life on the run

Chapter 115 Meeting with Prince Ning

Xia Liang's heart sank.

She didn't want to go back.

She didn't want to be locked in a cage and watched by the ancients like an animal.

So, she decided to fight back first.

"Sister, when the time comes, you guys should find a way to trick His Royal Highness Prince Ning into coming to Fang's house, and then I'll attack him quietly. That guy will be at least half-dead if not dead."

Luo Yu held his forehead with his hand.

"His secret guards follow us every day, how could they not know where you are hiding?"

Xia Liang said "oh", he was too full and needed to run a few laps to digest the food.

Gouzi is much happier than her. The happiest thing for him every day is chasing each other with Lord White Tiger.

The cool summer makes me tired.

Qin Bingrui watched the two guys chasing each other, hesitated for a moment, and then said: "Sister, will Xia Liang's intelligence be affected by staying in an animal's body for so long?"

Luo Yu: “…”

Four days later.

King Ning led Song Si into the city quietly, while the large and eye-catching group stayed outside the city.

Although Liangzhou City is not as prosperous and bustling as the capital, its population density is not small.

What is very interesting is that most of the people walking on the street look like scholars, and they all hold several books in their hands.

"Sir, Liangzhou City really values literature over martial arts. One look at the way everyone is dressed reveals they are weak scholars."

"My brother, Prince Rui, looks like a refined scholar, doesn't he? He's really putting on airs."

"..."

Song Si muttered to himself, I didn’t say that.

Several scholars passing by were chatting about the novels they had read recently.

"Have you read the latest storybook, 'A Daughter of the Yang Family Grows Up'? I heard it's been spreading like wildfire among the ladies and young ladies in the various mansions."

"The name sounds like a book for women. Why are you reading it?"

"The story is not simple. It has the same author and editor as the previous "Taihang Mountain Linghu Master's Enmity and Revenge". The author is Murong Fuxue and the editor is Miss Bai Fengchu."

When King Ning heard Miss Bai's name, he slowed down his pace and followed behind several scholars to listen to their conversation.

"What's the story about?"

"It tells the story of a young lady from a wealthy family, who experienced the rise and fall of her family. She remained steadfast in her beliefs and never gave up. Ultimately, through her own efforts, she helped her family rise again and achieve new glory. Even when her country was in ruins and her family was shattered, she led her family to serve the nation and live and die together with it. The entire story is about a woman's growth through love, hate, and passion. Not only will women be moved to tears, but men too will admire such a woman."

"Why does it sound like the autobiography of a girl from the Bai family? Haven't you heard that the eldest daughter of the Bai family was actually expelled from the Bai family?"

"Ah, no way? It's too immoral for the Bai family to do this."

"No wonder the Fang family collapsed. Was it all the Bai family's fault?"

"It must be. I heard that the eldest master of the Bai family died a violent death. Maybe it was someone from the other branches of the Bai family who was trying to take away the inheritance rights of the eldest son of the Bai family.

The internal strife among wealthy families is too terrible. Miss Bai, a weak woman, will have a hard time in the future. Oh, and I heard that the Guan family broke off the engagement a few days ago. How can I marry into a good family again in the future?

"That's not necessarily true. The Fang family has made a comeback in just over a month. In the future, there will be no Bai family influence in Liangzhou City."

"The Fang family is righteous. The fact that they can cooperate with the Rui Palace to open a free library proves that the Fang family is a hundred times stronger than the Bai family."

"Well, where is the latest edition of this book available now? Let's go buy it and take a look."

"The best chess and card shop in Liangzhou City. The latest volume is the fifth one, and the first four volumes should also be available."

After watching them walk away, Prince Ning said to Song Si, "Let's also go and read Miss Bai's autobiography."

Luo Yu's novel is naturally not about a white girl; she wants to highlight the difficult life of a woman in the feudal era. Even so, she argues that women can still achieve success just as men do, making this a novel with a strong female protagonist. While there are some descriptions of romantic love, the majority of the narrative focuses on the subtle changes in a woman's mind and the rapid growth she experiences due to her unsuccessful love relationships.

Compared with other novels, this book contains more about the awakening of contemporary women.

Compared to the thrilling revenge stories of men, the growth stories of women are obviously much more cruel.

Luo Yu was lying leisurely in a rocking chair on the fifth floor of the chess and card building, taking out the fifth volume of a serial to read.

It's true that Mr. Murong's writing style is really good, and he describes women's thoughts in great detail. However, this is also due to Luo Yu's efforts. Every time Murong finished writing, she would check it again. Several times, she found that the part where Murong described women's thoughts was not much different from that of men. She had to think about it several times before she could get it right. As a result, this female-oriented storybook took much longer to write than the first male-oriented storybook.

Luo Yu couldn't afford to suffer a loss, so he set the price of this storybook two cents higher than the first one.

Luo Yu sighed as he sipped his cold drink: "Tsk, tsk, tsk, this is too cruel. Miss Yang, the protagonist, can't even get the love of the person she loves. How tragic."

Then he laughed again, "Unrequited love can turn sorrow into strength. Women don't have to die for love. It's better to do something useful.

Well, I’m really good at making up stories, and I’m not editor-in-chief for nothing.”

Indeed, in just two hours, more than 500 copies of the fifth volume had been sold. Most of the young ladies and wives sent their maids to buy them, and many people came to line up early in the morning, for fear that if they were late, the newly released 600 copies would be sold out.

She was talking to herself and didn't notice that a man had been standing at the stairs listening to her for a long time.

"Master, she should be Miss Bai?"

There weren't too many people on the fifth floor. Most of them were young ladies and unmarried girls, and there were very few men.

So when a handsome man appeared on the fifth floor, the young women passing by walked lightly, just wanting to stay beside him for a while longer so that the handsome man would notice them.

Luo Yu had just finished reading the fifth volume when he heard a waitress shout, "There's one missing from the fifth volume. Which customer took it?"

Because a young lady's maid came to place an order for ten books, but only saw nine. The service girl checked the registration and found that there was a record of ten books.

Luo Yu raised the book in his hand and shouted, "It's here with me, wait a moment!"

After saying that, she jumped up from the recliner with light and agile movements. She didn't look like a woman who had just given birth.

If Luo Yu knew that others regarded her as a married woman with children, she would feel so upset.

You can make fun of yourself, but it is absolutely not okay to make others think that you are the right person.

She took big steps and passed by Zhu Jinyou without even turning her head. In her round eyes, there was only the big client who wanted ten storybooks.

Zhu Jinyou was stunned.

Even the big customer who bought the books secretly cast his eyes on him.

Is this white girl blind?
