  Ding Rou walked to the Royal Bookstore, in front of which was a three-story small building with glazed tiles on the roof and four corners hanging objects shaped like paper, ink, pen, and inkstone, symbolizing good luck. The vermilion pillars supported the small building, and the black signboard had four golden characters, "Royal Bookstore", written by the Great Qin Taizu Emperor himself, with the imperial seal affixed to it, demonstrating the unique position of the Royal Bookstore in educating the people.

  Although the Royal Bookstore is located in the bustling city of Yanjing, there are not many people coming and going. However, every passerby or horse-drawn carriage passing by the entrance of the Royal Bookstore will unconsciously lower their voice. The Royal Bookstore is like a Peach Blossom Spring in the midst of the noisy city, quiet and serene. All three floors have transparent glass windows, which are used by most people in the Great Qin Dynasty, and are also a blessing from the founding emperor to the people. Pointing at the glass to make money, Ding Rou had long given up hope, nor was she disappointed.

  Ding Rou traveled all the way, and combined with the memories in his original body, he had a deeper understanding of the Great Qin Dynasty. Those who crossed over, the husband and wife, were like geniuses, not only did they have glass, asphalt roads, spinning, papermaking, printing, and other money-making things, but they also did them all, leaving no opportunity for later generations like Ding Rou to show off, werent they a bit too ruthless?

  Ding Rou was thinking, with a soft laugh that seemed to be complaining and not convinced, her shiny black eyes sparkling. Although Ding Rou wasnt in the same period as that couple, she still wanted to compete with them. She could also find ways to make money, and wouldnt let others take all the benefits. Ding Rous eyebrows were slightly raised, if you dont believe it, just try it out then.

  Next to it stopped a luxurious carriage with brocade curtains, the top of the carriage was lacquered, from which came out a noble family. A pretty little maid with a double bun and wearing a new pleated long skirt jumped down from the carriage, set up a stool, and said in a cheerful tone: "Madam is asking you to get off the carriage."

  The little girl reached into the carriage again and helped down another elderly lady who was dressed in expensive and dignified attire. Her hair was styled in a neat bun with several jade pins arranged in a peacock pattern. The old lady caught sight of Ding Ruo, furrowed her brow slightly, and hesitated for a moment. The jade bangles on her wrist sparkled as she walked into the Imperial Book Bureau, leaning on the little girls hand. Hadnt Miss Ding, the sixth daughter of the Ding family, gone to the villa to recuperate? How could she be alone at the Imperial Book Bureau?

  Moreover, the girl who just came in, although she looks similar to Miss Ding Liu, but Madam has seen many people and can easily tell that her temperament is different from Miss Ding Lius. She wears ordinary clothes but exudes confidence and perseverance. Madam can see that she is a diligent and ambitious maid, unlike Miss Ding Liu who is arrogant and self-deprecating. Madam originally had some affection for Miss Ding Liu, thinking that her appearance resembled that of an old friend. However, from some point on, Miss Ding Liu became more and more unlikable. Madam can see that Miss Ding Liu has been influenced by someone and is very disappointed in her. She is easily influenced and not worth paying attention to anymore. Although she looks like an old friend, her character is far inferior.

  The manager of the Royal Bookstore came forward personally and said: "Greetings to the elderly lady."

  "Rise, I heard that a new batch of books has arrived. Today, when I have some free time, Ill come and take a look. As usual, I only want Buddhist scriptures."

  "Everything has been arranged for the elderly lady, please move to the elegant room." The steward was diligent and led the way in front, but did not invite the elderly lady to the third floor. The elderly ladies of noble families are all in poor health, climbing stairs would cause problems that the steward cannot afford to take on, so a delicate and comfortable elegant room was opened on the first floor for the elderly ladies to buy books and read.

  After entering the Royal Bookstore, Ding Rou only saw the back of an old woman and felt a sense of familiarity in her heart. She thought she had seen this person before, but didnt think much about it as she was shocked by the sight of the bookstore, which seemed like a modern library except for the lack of electronic products. The entire layout was similar to that of a library, with bookshelves filled with books lining the walls, four layers high and over ten shelves wide, leaving only enough space in the middle for two people to pass through. There were wooden tables and chairs by the windows where people could sit and read. When Ding Rou entered, there were already some people reading, mostly dressed in Confucian robes, looking like scholars.

  Ding Rou looked up the stairs, and the layout of the second and third floors seemed to be better. Ding Rou saw that the wall was pasted with the "Taizu Mingxun", which explained the rules and regulations of the Imperial Bookstore: no noise, no theft, and no damage to books. Ding Rou felt a sense of familiarity and had a slightly good impression of Emperor Taizu, who was known for his strictness. With more people reading at the Imperial Bookstore, there would be more exchanges, and it would be beneficial for the progress of society. The ignorance of the common people made it difficult for society to advance, but reading books would always have its benefits. Although Emperor Taizu and his queen had become rulers after rebelling, implementing a constitutional monarchy or socialist system was still unrealistic under current conditions. The social situation determined the superstructure, and establishing a dynasty was an inevitable path.

  There is a ticket booth at the entrance. Everyone who comes to read books has to pay a certain amount of copper coins. Ding Rou asked, "Do you also charge for going to the second and third floors?"

  "Little girl, is this your first time at the Royal Bookstore?"

  "Uh-huh."

  They kept their conversation as low as possible, not disturbing the people reading books. Xiao Guan Shi was in his thirties, with a few strands of whiskers on his chin and a clean face that looked like a scholar at first glance. "Only nobles and scholars can go up to the second and third floors."

  "Not everyone succeeds?"

  "Thats natural, ordinary people only need one floor, going up is useless, wasting time. Little girl, are you here to find a book to read? The bookshelves on the east side are all filled with books."

  The young scholar introduced the layout of the first floor, Ding Rou was white and clean, with a smile on her face, and she was very polite. The young scholar felt comfortable looking at Ding Rou, and his expression became more pleasant. "Youre not yet married, according to our ancestors teachings, we dont accept copper coins from you. Go find something to read, if you like it, Ill give you an 80% discount."

  Ding Rou smiled and said, "Thank you, Uncle Guan Shi." Ding Rous politeness made Guan Shis mood even better. He had been working at the Imperial Book Bureau for some time and had seen many arrogant young ladies. In this era, not many girls were literate, and even fewer came to the book bureau. Meeting a sensible and elegant girl like Ding Rou was a rare occurrence, so Guan Shi would always give her a few pointers on which books were more valuable. After all, there were over ten shelves of books, and although they had rough categories, it wasnt easy to find what you were looking for without guidance.

  Ding Rou smiled and listened, occasionally revealing admiration for the bookkeepers handling of affairs. Her form of address also changed from "Bookkeeper Uncle" to: "Thank you, Uncle Xie, for your guidance. Without you, Im afraid I wouldnt have finished even by nightfall."

  Everyone likes to be respected, and Ding Rous timely expression made the bookkeeper laugh so hard that his mouth couldnt close. Ding Rou took the opportunity to ask: "What are the books on the second and third floors? Uncle, the Royal Bookstore is magnificent, Ill go back and tell my friends about it."

  Ding Ruo put on a show of wanting to go back, and at her age, she should be like this. Just as the bookworm was about to speak, he heard someone say from beside him, "How dare you tear up books?"
