Chapter 205: Chapter 201: Earned a Lot of Silver

Ruo Xuan took out a delicate wooden box and beckoned to Zhang Qian.

Zhang Qian smiled and bent over.

Ruo Xuan cupped his ears with her hands and whispered, "The first draw is a set of the finest Four Treasures of the Study, including a bottle of Yanmo medicated ink for improving intelligence. Keep that Hui Ink for the imperial examinations; it’s guaranteed to help Brother Qian pass through five levels and slay six generals, triumphant all the way.

Ruo Xuan didn’t mention that the Hui Ink wasn’t ordinary, nor was the brush; she had carved runes on them, which had the effects of improving intelligence, uplifting the spirits, and enhancing luck.

Zhang Qian laughed as he took them, and deliberately said aloud for those behind him to hear, "Haha, it seems my luck is excellent today! Hui Ink is famously worth an ounce of gold for an ounce of ink; I’ve truly made a killing today. Not only did I purchase Master ’At Water’s Edge’s’ book, but I also got three bottles of medicated ink for intelligence, and at the end, I even drew a set of the finest Four Treasures of the Study. The two hundred silver spent is well worth it! Everyone, remember to come and draw for a gift after settling your accounts. Every gift labeled here is great."

The people queuing behind him became a bit anxious after hearing this, "Brother Zhang, please move aside after drawing, it’s my turn now!"

"Move quickly, I want to draw the first prize too!"

Zhang Qian stepped aside, laughing.

After him, Ruo Xuan decided what each scholar would draw based on their appearance.

Xuanyuan Que noticed that the good-looking scholars always received special treatment.

One particularly handsome scholar, who had only bought one hundred Wen’s worth of Xuan Paper, was directly allowed to draw the first prize.

A fat man who had spent over five hundred silver was given one of the worst draws by her.

Xuanyuan Que couldn’t help but snort in his heart: Shallow.

However, when it came to appearance, Xuanyuan Que believed that throughout the ages, there was no one in the world who could compare to him.

Thinking this way, Xuanyuan Que didn’t bother himself with whether the flower was shallow or not.

In less than an hour, all fifty gifts had been given out.

They were busy until late afternoon, and only some of the more common books remained on the bookstore shelves.

The books they had borrowed from Master Han and Xuanyuan Que to copy had been sold out long ago.

Ruo Shui and his brothers decided to stay with Shopkeeper Liu that evening to organize the shelves, and after organizing, they would need to rush to print more books to restock the sold-out items.

Ruo Shui said to Ruo Xuan, "Xuanbao, you go back to the village with Young Master Xuanyuan. Dad and your uncle will stay at the shop tonight."

Ruo Xuan also wanted to stay, but with only four rooms in the bookstore and her brothers staying to help, they would likely be busy until late; and with the curfew in the city, they wouldn’t be able to walk the streets at night to return to the official residence provided by His Majesty.

Ruo Xuan thought that Granny and Mom would surely want to know how the business was going at the bookstore.

So Ruo Xuan and Xuanyuan Que left first.

Xuanyuan Que first took Ruo Xuan home, then he returned to his villa.

When Ruo Xuan arrived home, Granny Lei, Madam Liu, and Madam Jiang all dropped what they were doing and rushed out.

Granny Lei: "How was it, did the bookstore opening go smoothly today?"

Madam Liu: "Was business good? Why haven’t your father and the rest come home?"

Madam Jiang: "How many gifts were given out?"

She had always felt that the threshold for giving out those gifts was set too high; it would probably bring in more buyers if set at only twenty silver.

Ruo Xuan smiled and said, "Business was very good! All the gifts were gone in less than an hour. Dad and Uncle had to stay at the bookstore to organize the shelves; many books were sold out and were made quite a mess."

All three of them smiled on hearing this, "Really? Was the business that good?"

"So many books were sold? How much silver did we make?"

Ruo Xuan smiled and said, "Hmm, we made a lot of silver! We haven’t counted it yet."

However, many scholars had already bought books today, and Ruo Xuan knew that the bookstore’s business wouldn’t be as good as it was today in the future.
