Su Yu smiled, scooped Ruoruo up, and held her in his arms.

Ruoruo's little head rested on Su Yu's shoulder.

He saw the other candidates behind him.

They all looked like wilted eggplants.

She looks extremely tired.

Ruoruo scratched her head and looked at Su Yu.

How come the gentleman isn't tired?

They looked radiant and full of energy.

Then, tilting his head and thinking for a moment, he understood.

Mr. is too amazing.

Versace also ran along, his calves moving like whirlwinds.

However, Su Yu did not hug the chubby boy.

Versace, however, was not disappointed at all.

He simply rubbed his hands together and asked excitedly.

"Sir, shall we go to the bookstore together tomorrow?"

Su Yu nodded and smiled, then tapped the chubby boy on the head.

"Ah."

"You're only thinking about this."

"I'll teach you abacus mental arithmetic and let you learn more about accounting."

"Have you learned it?"

Versace rubbed his head, which had been hit.

Then he looked up and said proudly.

"learned."

"I already know how to use it."

Then, frowning, he glanced at Ruoruo and accused her.

"Sir, when you were not here..."

"Dad had my sister keep an eye on my studies."

"My sister is too ruthless. She slaps my hand for every wrong calculation."

"My hands are all swollen from being hit!"

"Sir, you're finally back! Please save me!"

Listening to Versace's rambling sobs, Ruoruo glared at him.

Then she looked up at Su Yu and said softly.

"Sir, don't listen to Versace's nonsense."

“I was just trying to scare him.”

"He only slapped my hand."

Versace responded by making a face.

Then he looked at Su Yu, put his hands on his hips, and asked with dissatisfaction.

"Sir, why don't you ask my sister if she's studying?"

Su Yu smiled.

"Ruoruo has always been well-behaved, no need to ask."

Upon hearing this, Ruoruo lowered her eyelids and smiled.

It's clear that she's overjoyed.

Versace pouted and snorted coldly.

With arms crossed over his chest, 893 indicates that 964 disagrees with 460.

Su Yu couldn't help but smile and patted his head.

"Let's go back home."

Holding Ruoruo in one arm and leading the chubby boy by the other, they boarded the carriage to return to the manor.

Upon arriving at the Fan residence, the second wife, Liu Ruyu, had already prepared a sumptuous dinner.

We're just waiting for Su Yu to come back so we can eat together.

The Minister of Revenue has not yet returned today.

A messenger sent word that he would be back very late.

He then told Liu Ruyu not to wait for him.

So Su Yu, Liu Ruyu, Ruoruo, and Fan Sizhe had dinner together.

During the meal, Liu Ruyu asked about the imperial examinations with a smile on her face.

Hearing Su Yu say that the exam questions were not difficult, he finally felt relieved.

She knew that Su Yu always spoke in a low-key manner.

It's not difficult, it's very simple, and that means victory is assured.

……

Day two.

The whole morning was spent teaching Versace.

After finishing lunch, Versace quickly arrived at Su Yu's courtyard.

Then he started clamoring to go to the bookstore.

Su Yu shook her head helplessly and smiled.

The chubby boy is really persistent about this.

So he quickly ordered the servants in the manor to prepare a carriage and headed towards Luodong Road.

Arrive at the bookstore location selected in Luodong Road.

Su Yu took a good look.

I found that this location was indeed very well chosen.

The surrounding area is easily accessible, and it is not far from the Imperial Academy.

Students from all over Qing Kingdom came to Kyoto to prepare for the spring imperial examinations.

I pass by here almost every day.

Perfect timing! The imperial examinations are over, and there's still a month until the results are released.

The students will not go back immediately.

Instead, they will stay here and wait for the outcome.

This results in a significant increase in potential customers.

Moreover, this place is lively, with princesses from various princely mansions.

The young ladies from official families, number 043, also often went out for a stroll in the neighborhood.

Dream of the Red Chamber—that's the kind of place young ladies love most.

Once you see them all, you'll definitely love them.

From afar, Su Yu could see the bookstore's name.

Danbo Bookstore.

This was tucked inside Fan Xian's manuscript that day.

He also copied the line, "Without tranquility, one cannot achieve far-reaching goals; without detachment, one cannot have lofty ambitions," onto it.

Su Yu accepted them all with a smile; the name was fine as it was, and there was no need to change it.

As for that copied poem...

He simply wrote a few lines and hung them on the wall.

Su Yu led Ruoruo and Fan Sizhe.

After walking a few more steps, we arrived at the entrance of the bookstore.

When Wang Qinian saw that it was Su Yu, he walked out with a big smile on his face.

"Brother Su!"

"Finished the exam? Did it go well?"

Su Yu nodded and smiled.

He glanced around the bookstore.

The decor, furnishings, bookshelf placement, and book arrangement were all very well done.

The bookstore has many other books from Wanjuantang, including classics, histories, philosophical works, and literary collections, but its main focus is on Dream of the Red Chamber.

Su Yu nodded again, expressing her approval.

Wang Qinian chuckled and pointed to the chubby boy next to him.

"Wang dared not take credit for himself."

"The young master was also a great help."

Upon hearing this, Versace nodded proudly and stood next to Wang Qinian.
