Chapter 177 Songyue Study

Liu Xiaoyu and Zou Ping were extremely efficient; in no time, the study had been completely renovated.

The two will complete the arrangement of the study according to Xiao Siyue's ideas.

"Miss, the study is now fully furnished; all that's missing is a plaque."

Xiao Siyue thought for a moment and said, "Well, I've already thought of a name for the study. It will be called Songyue Study. You just need to make a plaque."

"Yes, Miss, I'll take care of it right away."

On the day the study opened, Xiao Siyue took Chuntao and Lanyi to the study.

Perhaps out of curiosity, there were quite a few people in front of the study today.

In particular, some students from the academy, who happened to be on their day off, were traveling in twos and threes when they happened to come across the opening of the bookstore and stayed to watch out of curiosity.

Previously, there was only one bookstore in Qianyuan County, but it didn't have many books, so they rarely went there. They were really looking forward to it reopening now.

“Brother Zhang, shall we go in and take a look? I wonder what this study is like, and if they have any books I’d like?” a student dressed in light blue said to his companion.

“Come on, I’m very curious too.” Another student shook his folding fan and started heading towards the study.

As the group entered the study, they noticed something different: two rows of bookshelves filled with books were placed in the center of the study, and bookshelves surrounded the room as well.

The group exchanged glances and quickly walked towards the bookshelves. As they got closer, they discovered that the books were divided into sections, with each type of book placed on the same shelf. The shelves were also labeled, making it easy to see what was there.

They were all eager to learn, and each of them picked up a book that interested them and stood in front of the bookshelf to read it, becoming completely absorbed in it.

The books printed by Xiao Siyue are not just those they usually know.

Xiao Siyue also printed some valuable books that were not available in this era.

Seeing this, Liu Xiaoyu said to the group, "Young masters, you may sit there and read your books."

Upon hearing Liu Xiaoyu's voice, the group looked up from their books and followed her gaze to the tables and chairs at the back of the study.

But this chair was strange; they had never seen it before.

After walking over and sitting down, I found it soft and comfortable.

At this moment, Liu Xiaoyu asked the shop assistant to serve tea to the guests.

One of them seized the opportunity to ask, "I've never seen this chair before; it's completely different from the ones we usually sit in."

The waiter placed the tea on the table and then smiled, saying, "This is called a sofa. The owner made it especially for the study."

"A sofa?" Although the group didn't understand, they didn't ask any further questions. The shopkeeper had already said that their boss had specially made it for the study, so it was normal that they hadn't seen it before.

After the waiter left, the group couldn't help but chat.

"I wonder who owns this study; the books here are just what I like."

"Yes. The books here are really abundant, there are many of them that I have never heard of before."

"Yes, yes, it seems we'll have somewhere to go when we have time off in the future."

The group spent the morning in the study, and when they left, they bought several books.

"Young master, this is your book, it costs three taels of silver," Zou Ping said, handing over the book.

"What? Three taels of silver?" The man was astonished. How could the book be so cheap? Normally, it would cost three taels of silver to buy a single book, but he had bought four. Moreover, the quality of the book was much better than what he had bought before.

"Yes, young master." Zou Ping felt very proud; the books in their family's study were not only good but also inexpensive.

The man, in a daze, took three taels of silver and gave it to Zou Ping.

Zou Ping then asked, "Would the young master like some Xuan paper?"

"Xuan paper?" What kind of paper is Xuan paper? Most of the paper they use is hemp paper, and the better one is white cotton paper, but white cotton paper is generally unaffordable.

“Yes, it’s Xuan paper,” Zou Ping said, taking out the paper to show them.

The group was captivated by the pristine white paper, but they feared they couldn't afford to consume it all.

Zou Ping noticed their hesitation and said directly, "Young master, this ream of Xuan paper only costs one tael of silver."

"really?"

"Of course it's true,"

"I want a slice." "Me too!" Several people said to Zou Ping. Such good paper was so cheap, how could they miss it?

After the students left the study, they were all very satisfied. When they returned to the academy, they began to promote it vigorously, and for a time, Songyue Study was bustling with visitors.

After a period of time, Songyue Bookstore successfully established its reputation.

Many people say that Songyue Bookstore's books are not only of high quality but also inexpensive, attracting many visitors.

"Xiaoyu, how is Zouping doing these days?" Xiao Siyue asked, thinking that it had been quite a while.

"Miss, Zou Ping has done a great job. The affairs of the study have been basically completely handed over to Zou Ping to manage." Liu Xiaoyu was also very excited when she thought about the booming business of the study recently.

"That's good," Xiao Siyue said, "Now you don't have to worry about the future."

"Okay, then Zou Ping will take care of the study from now on, and you can finally have some time to rest. Thank you for your hard work during this time." Liu Xiaoyu had a lot to do and was extremely busy every day.

Liu Xiaoyu knew that her young mistress was concerned about her, and she was very touched.

However, she didn't feel busy at all; on the contrary, she felt that these days were exceptionally fulfilling, and she liked them very much.

"Miss, you're too kind. Xiaoyu really enjoys these busy days; she finds them very meaningful," Liu Xiaoyu said with a smile.

"Hahaha, you! But even if you like it, you can't overwork yourself. Otherwise, where am I supposed to find someone as talented as you?" Xiao Siyue laughed heartily. This Liu Xiaoyu is truly a good employee.

"Yes, Miss, I've got it." Liu Xiaoyu replied with a smile.

She felt very satisfied and happy that her mistress approved of her, and she was full of energy, ready to work for a few more hours.

Time flies, and two months have passed in the blink of an eye. Now, Songyue Bookstore is becoming more and more famous, and people from other places are starting to come to the bookstore to buy books.

Although the books in the study were not expensive, Xiao Siyue still made a fortune. As she had planned, she used 10% of the profits from the study for the expenses of the Qianyuan County School.

In fact, most of this money was used as tuition for the teachers, and a small portion was used to maintain the school's daily expenses.
