 Chapter 444: Shock

She didn't go in because the bookstore was crowded at the moment.


"Madam, it's a bit crowded in there. Do you still want to go down?" Luchuan's voice came from the front.


Ye Muyu nodded. "I'll go down. Ziluo, you stay in the carriage. I'll be back soon."


"Okay." Chu Ziluo understood that the situation was special right now. If it were under normal circumstances, she would definitely be allowed to come down. She obediently agreed not to cause trouble for her mother.


Ye Muyu got off the carriage.


Following Hu Shi, she went straight into the bookstore.


The bookstore had two large doors, so even though it was crowded, it wasn't difficult to enter.


Zhang Yang and Zheng Chun were both busy attending to customers on either side.


They looked quite busy.


Ye Muyu came in and knocked on the counter where Zhang Yang was.


Seeing her, Zhang Yang immediately straightened up and welcomed her in.


"Madam, I'll attend to the customers first. Please wait a moment." Zhang Yang tentatively spoke.


Ye Muyu responded with an 'Mm' and let him attend to his tasks.


Zhang Yang let out a slight sigh of relief. After being reminded by Luchuan, he knew that he needed to understand the temperaments of the two masters first before doing anything.


Now it seemed that the Madam and Master of the Chu family weren't as difficult to deal with as he had imagined, they just had strong principles.


Ye Muyu walked around and looked at each bookshelf.


Hu Shi knew that Madam was checking the number of books sold, so she didn't say much and silently accompanied her.


After Ye Muyu finished looking around, she even knew without Zhang Yang reporting that business was good today.


Because there was a bookstore in the county that seemed to be related to the Wang family.


But the Wang family wasn't good at running a bookstor, they seemed to focus more on shipping and doing more profitable silk business, and even the focus of their business had shifted in recent years.


This information was from Chu Heng. Thinking of his extraordinary caravan, Ye Muyu didn't doubt this.


Therefore, in the entire county the Wang family's bookstore didn't have much competitiveness.


So, there weren't many books on regular days.


As she expected, the best-selling ones were the essays, test papers, and exam questions that Chu Heng and others had practiced in the academy recently.


Some of these were essays written by outstanding students.


With the township exam approaching, there was nothing more valuable than these materials.


Therefore, twenty copies were sold and by now they had all been sold out, and there were even many students coming to inquire if there were any left.


The next best-selling ones were the books annotated by Principal Zhang.


There wasn't only one school in the county and not all students studied in the county. Some beginners were willing to buy books annotated by Principal Zhang, who was born as an imperial scholar, so the business was good.


As for other miscellaneous books, the sales were a bit slower.


It was only some servants who bought them, and it wasn't clear if they were for the young master at home or the young lady.


Among them, there were even servants from the Xie family.


Ye Muyu thought that this might be Xie Yu taking care of her business.


Although the miscellaneous books sold slowly, it was normal and with a complete variety, she wasn't worried about not being able to sell them.


After taking a turn, Ye Muyu had a clear idea in her mind.


Hu Shi asked, "Madam, it seems that quite a few books have been sold. Business should be good, right?"


"It's not bad. So far out of four hundred test papers, three hundred and six have been sold, and thirteen books have been sold. Among them, eight are annotated versions of the Four Books and Five Classics, four are miscellaneous records, and one is about agriculture, totaling three hundred and eighty-two taels and six cents."


Ye Muyu's voice wasn't loud. In the bustling bookstore, only Hu Shi and Zhang Yang, who had just walked over, heard her.
