Xie Chunbo was Xie Yu’s second uncle who was an official.

He was a county magistrate in a county three counties away from Nanchang County.

Usually, when he was in office, even Xie Yu rarely saw this second uncle. Who knew that the signboard of her bookstore would be inscribed by a county magistrate and a dean?

“How did this come about?” Ye Muyu asked.

Chu Heng held her hand and walked into the shop. He explained in a low voice, “Xie Yu found out about this shop and took the initiative to take this work over.

He said that this plaque was a gift from him.”

“As for the dean, I plan to sell the exam questions and papers that I usually write because of the book shop business. I need to ask the dean first.”

“The dean has given his permission. In the future, he’s also willing to give us the right to sell his annotated books.”

“These things are very precious,” Lu Chuan said. “The books in the bookstore will sell like crazy in the future. Plus, there’s going to be a provincial examination.”

Ye Muyu thought to herself, ‘Isn’t that so? You know, other bookstores also want to sell these independent notes.’

However, if the writer did not agree, there was nothing one could do.

Now that Chu Heng had settled this matter in just two or three days, she could even imagine the booming business of the bookstore.

No wonder Chu Heng suggested that she open a bookshop. This was simply the lowest-cost business.

Ye Muyu had already understood Chu Heng’s intelligence, so she quickly calmed down.

He followed her into the shop.

The bookshelves in the shop were very clean. They did not look new, but they had a unique charm as if they were made of some precious wood.

“Lu Chuan, where did you buy these bookshelves?” Ye Muyu asked.

Lu Chuan said, “Madam, I didn’t buy this bookshelf. It’s a congratulatory gift from Young Master Du. He said that he’ll come again when we open for business. ”

“Young Master Du is very thoughtful. This wood should be very precious, right?” Ye Muyu walked over and touched it.

Chu Heng stood beside her. “It’s nothing. Compared to the food you cook, this wood is not important to him.”contemporary romance

Even so, Ye Muyu did not have the habit of receiving benefits for no reason.

She thought for a while and tilted her head to look at Chu Heng. “When will the books be printed? When the opening time is confirmed, should we invite Young Master Xie and Young Master Du to our house for dinner?”

“I know a few dishes that they haven’t eaten before. When the time comes, I’ll have to invite my parents.”

The custom in the village was that when moving to a new house, one had to cook a pot of food and invite relatives and friends to eat.

Buying a shop was not moving, so there was no need to publicize it. It was only right to invite the elders and friends who had given gifts in advance.

How could she thank someone for giving her a gift and not even treat them to a meal?

Ye Muyu had already made up her mind.

“Why don’t we treat them to a meal in the county?” Chu Heng thought for a

moment. “The exams are approaching, so I’m afraid they won’t be able to spare the time.”

In fact, it was not Du Heng and Xie Yu who were nervous about the provincial examination, but the elders in the family, especially the Xie family. The Xie family lived in a house in Nanchang County. It was actually the eldest son of the Xie family.

The second branch of the Xie family was an official.

Old Master Xie had also retired from the officialdom.

Xie Yu was the youngest son of the Xie family’s eldest branch.

He was the youngest son who was twenty years younger than his eldest brother and second brother.

He had been given high hopes since he was young. He had just become an elementary scholar before the new year, so he planned to give it a try this year. Although he could not be sure if he would pass, he could at least understand the examination rules and set the questions.

Du Heng was simpler. He was the second son of the family, and he had not even become an elementary scholar..
