 Chapter 373: Courtesy Fulfilled

Meanwhile, Xie Chunbo was the second uncle of Xie Yu's family.


He served as the county magistrate in a county adjacent to Nanchang County, quite far away.


Usually, he was occupied with his official duties and even Xie Yu rarely saw this second uncle.


Unexpectedly, the plaque of her bookstore was inscribed by none other than the county magistrate, who was also a dean.


"How did this happen?" Ye Muyu asked.


Chu Heng led her into the shop, explaining in a low voice, "Xie Yu learned about this bookstore and took the initiative to handle it, saying that the plaque was his gift."


"As for the dean, due to the business of the bookstore, I intend to sell the exam questions and test papers I've written on weekdays. I needed approval from the dean."


"He agreed and in the future, he's willing to grant us the selling rights for the annotated books he has."


Luchuan interjected, "These things are quite valuable. The books in the bookstore will probably sell like hotcakes, especially with the upcoming provincial exam."


Ye Muyu thought to herself, indeed other bookstores would also love to sell these separately annotated works by famous scholars.


But without the scholar's consent, there was nothing they could do.


Now, in just two or three days, Chu Heng had sorted out this matter. She could even foresee the booming business of the bookstore in the future.


No wonder Chu Heng suggested opening a bookstore. It was truly the lowest-cost business.


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


They entered the shop.


The bookshelves in the store were neatly arranged, not looking new but they had a unique charm, as if made from some precious wood.


Ye Muyu directly asked her doubt, "Where did you buy these bookshelves, Luchuan?"


Luchuan replied, "Madam, these bookshelves weren't bought. They were a gift from Young Master Du, as a congratulatory gift for the opening. He said he would come when it officially opens."


"Young Master Du is thoughtful. These woods should be quite precious." Ye Muyu walked over and touched them.


Chu Heng stood beside her, saying, "It's nothing. Compared to the meals you cook, these woods are not important to him."


Although he said so, Ye Muyu didn't have the habit of receiving favors for free.


After thinking for a moment, she looked at Chu Heng and said, "When can the books be printed? Once the opening date is confirmed, please invite Young Master Xie and Young Master Du to our house for a meal."


"I will prepare several dishes they haven't tasted before and we should also invite my parents."


In the village, it was customary to invite relatives and friends for a feast when moving to a new house.


Opening a shop wasn't the same as moving, so there was no need for grand announcements. However, it was appropriate to invite elders and friends who had given gifts in advance.


One couldn't just accept gifts and say thank you without inviting them for a meal.


Ye Muyu had already made up her mind in this regard.


Chu Heng thought for a moment, "Or, we can invite them for a meal in the county? With the exams approaching, they might not have time to spare."


It wasn't that Du Heng and Xie Yu were personally nervous about the provincial exam, but their elders, especially Xie Yu's family, were anxious.


The Xie family lived in the house in Nanchang County, which was actually the residence of the eldest son's family.


The second son of the Xie family held an official position.


The Xie family's patriarch had also retired from officialdom.


Xie Yu was the youngest son of the Xie family, born twenty years after his older brothers.


He had been highly regarded since childhood, having passed the scholar exam before, and this year he planned to try the provincial exam to get a better understanding of the examination rules and question patterns.


Du Heng, on the other hand was relatively simple. He was the second son of his family and hadn't passed the scholar exam yet.
