When he walked to the window of the school, he saw Ye Muyu and Chu Ziluo sitting in the room and reading a book. A smile appeared on his face.
“Ah Yu.” Chu Heng pushed open the door and walked in.
Ye Muyu put down the book in her hand and turned to look at him. “Do you want to rest for a while? Ziluo and I will go back soon.”
“It’s okay. I’m not sleepy. You guys can read here. I’ll read for a while too. You can go back once the exam starts,” Chu Heng said.
“Alright then.” Ye Muyu did not ask further since he was insistent. It seemed like nothing had happened.
Chu Heng took the book and sat on the soft couch, reading it seriously.
Chu Ziluo lowered her voice for fear of disturbing him.
Seeing this, Ye Muyu let her practice her calligraphy.
She was thinking about what kind of shop she should open. She wrote down a few types on the paper-book shop, clothing shop, jewelry shop, rouge shop.
Of the four shops, the two in the middle required a lot of goods and even more silver.
It was a secondary choice.
A bookshop and a rouge shop, both seemed to be fine.
“Choose a bookstore.” Chu Heng had seen her writing. His slender fingers landed on the paper, and his thin lips opened slightly.
“Why?” Ye Muyu looked up at him.
“It’s convenient to manage. Don’t you like reading? The people who would go to bookstores are mostly students, and their backgrounds are clean.”
“The people who come to the rouge shop are all women. It’s easy to get along with them.”
“No, it’s complicated.” Chu Heng shook his head, his attitude was surprisingly firm.
Complicated?
Was the human heart complicated or the identity complicated?
Ye Muyu pondered for a moment, thinking that Chu Heng meant both. “Alright then, let’s choose a bookstore. I also want to collect some miscellaneous notes for Zi Luo to read.”
“It’s good for Ziluo to read more miscellaneous notes.” It was rare for Chu Heng to agree. In the eyes of scholars, miscellaneous notes were an unrated book, no different from a storybook.
They were all man-made, so the authenticity was uncertain. The storybooks were more interesting, so more people read them. On the contrary, some editors preferred to use complicated vocabulary and some uncommon allusions. In addition, the style of writing was obscure and difficult to understand, so not many people read them.
However, Ye Muyu felt that what was written here was more authentic.
Because it was similar to what she had seen and heard, and even Chu Heng agreed, it was indeed suitable to teach children.
“You think so too?” Ye Muyu could not help but ask for confirmation. “Yes, these miscellaneous notes are indeed not bad.” Chu Heng nodded. “Alright, but I haven’t found a way to get the books…’
“I’ll ask Lu Chuan to help you print some books,” Chu Heng said.
“Can I go with you?” Ye Muyu asked.
She Imew that in this era, she did not have any connections. If she suddenly went to find someone to discuss business, coupled with her identity as a woman, how could it go smoothly?
Since Chu Heng wanted to help, she would accept it.
If she treated him as an outsider, it would not be polite.
“If you want, sure.” Chu Heng nodded in agreement. “By the way, didn’t you start a business?”
“What do they usually transport?” Ye Muyu asked curiously.
Chu Heng put his palms together and closed the book. He did not hide anything. “It’s mainly to transport items from the Jiangnan area to the north. The capital is also developing recently.”
“Clothes, tea leaves, porcelain, fresh toys, food, etc.”
This was a big business. Ye Muyu was a little shocked and looked at Chu Heng with a trace of curiosity.. Could it be that Chu Heng did this business not just to earn money?
