With Xie Wanxing around, the atmosphere naturally wouldn't cool down. After greeting him, she started talking to Tang Ze: "Senior Brother, where are you studying now?"

"Imperial Imperial College."

"Ah, senior brother is amazing. He is very promising at such a young age." Xie Wanxing nodded in understanding. Her words were sincere praise and admiration from the bottom of her heart.

She's already entered the Imperial College at such a young age, and according to what her teacher said before, she'll have to prepare for the next exam next year. This senior brother doesn't look like the kind of person who likes to brag, which means he must be truly talented and knowledgeable.

Xie Wanxing blinked, revealing two cute dimples. He smiled and bowed, saying, "I heard that you will be taking the exam next year. Wanxing would like to wish you all the best and hope you will pass the exam."

Tang Ze nodded slightly and responded, "Thank you for your kind words, Junior Sister."

"Brother, please sit down. I'll have someone make you a cup of tea."

"No need to bother." Tang Ze's tone was still concise, without any extra emotion, "I'm not drinking tea outside."

"Ah?" Xie Wanxing was slightly stunned, with a hint of confusion on his face.

"Don't pay attention to him. This kid is like this. No one can touch him." Mr. Yu waved his hand, "Come, let me see what good things you have prepared."

Mr. Yu opened the bookcase and saw several books neatly arranged inside. His eyes swept over the books. The cover styles of these books were quite unique. The delicate brushstrokes and carefully designed patterns showed at a glance that they were from Xie Wanxing's hand.

Mr. Yu picked out two books at random and looked at them carefully in his hands.

"Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Journey to the West? What kind of books are these?" Mr. Yu looked at Xie Wanxing with a puzzled look in his eyes. "Is this a storybook?"

"It can be called a storybook, but not quite, but it's almost the same. To be precise, it should be called a fictional historical novel." Xie Wanxing scratched his head and found a word to explain. After all, for Dajing, the Three Kingdoms was indeed fictional.

"This is the complete book of stories I told you before. I see you seem very interested in hearing those stories. However, this book is a rare and hard to find copy in the world, so I spent quite some time copying a copy for you."

"Alternate history novel?"

Xie Wanxing said hurriedly: "Well, this is not a casual book, teacher."

Mr. Yu opened the book in his hand and looked at the neat handwriting on each page. He seemed to see Xie Wanxing copying at his desk. He looked at the number of volumes in the bookcase and realized that it must have taken him quite a while to copy.

"Axing, you're thoughtful. Your handwriting is pretty good too."

"The book I mentioned to you before is from this one, Romance of the Three Kingdoms." Xie Wanxing pushed the book forward, his eyes gleaming with anticipation. "Teacher, you can take a look at this one in your free time."

"Okay, I'll take a look." Mr. Yu had nothing to do at the moment, so he agreed and opened the book to read.

His gaze slowly fell on the pages of the book, and after turning a few pages, his eyes gradually became focused.

Tang Ze was also standing aside. His originally indifferent eyes now showed a hint of curiosity, and his feet unconsciously moved slowly behind Mr. Yu.

He turned slightly sideways, his gaze falling on the page in Mr. Yu's hand, his eyes full of inquiry.

Xie Wanxing looked up inadvertently and happened to notice the actions of her senior brother. Looking at Tang Ze's focused look, she felt something in her heart and secretly guessed that he should also like to read this type of book.

She narrowed her eyes, and suddenly a flash of lightning flashed through her mind, and a bold idea instantly emerged in her mind.

So, could she copy those interesting novels from ancient and modern times, both Chinese and foreign, in the study, and then print them out to sell? She could also compile and copy some agricultural and medical books to benefit the people.

You have to know that the Dajing Dynasty we are in now is a country that governs the country with literature. There are many people who love reading among the people, and bookstores are all over the world. The demand for all kinds of books is quite strong.

Moreover, if you can own a bookstore with considerable say, wouldn’t that be equivalent to owning a hugely influential marketing account in this era?

Although she never intended to use this to incite any negative public opinion, she knew in her heart that sometimes controlling public opinion is indeed a force that cannot be underestimated. It can guide people's thoughts and allow some good ideas to be spread. It can also clarify the facts at critical moments and prevent the breeding and spread of rumors.

Since she and Xie Songlin have many big plans to implement in the future, quietly controlling public opinion in this way is actually a way to strengthen their own protection.

Xie Wanxing touched her chin and found a chair to sit down next to her teacher. The outline of this idea had already formed in her mind. She was now full of various details about this plan, and she was even a little impatient to go home and write a detailed plan.

After a while, Mr. Yu raised his head slightly, his eyes full of wonder, and he muttered, "The general trend of the world is that after a long period of division, there will be unification, and after a long period of unification, there will be division... This book is quite interesting, and I like it very much."

"As long as the teacher likes it." Xie Wanxing responded with a smile.

Mr. Yu was about to say something more when someone outside ushered in a gentleman. When the gentleman saw Mr. Yu, a bright smile immediately broke out on his face and he called out happily, "Hello, Brother Cheng! It's been a long time since we last met. So you're lazing around here!"

Mr. Yu heard the voice, turned around, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, and he quickly stood up to greet him, smiling, "Brother Zhao Liang!"

Xie Wanxing almost laughed out loud when he heard the name. Zhaoliang? Illuminating what?

Xin Zhaoliang walked forward quickly, and with a glance, he saw Tang Ze standing behind Mr. Yu. A gentle smile appeared on his face, and he said, "Mr. Tang is here too."

Although Tang Ze's expression was calm, he did not lose his manners. He bowed to the visitor and said in a steady tone, "Hello, Mr. Xin."

"Okay." Xin Zhaoliang turned his gaze to Xie Wanxing again, with a friendly smile on his face, and asked, "This should be your new disciple, right?"

Xie Wanxing readily followed suit and bowed, imitating Tang Ze's way of addressing her: "My daughter Wanxing, hello, Mr. Xin."

"What a lovely little girl! Brother Jiancheng hasn't accepted a disciple in many years, so he must be quite extraordinary." Xin Zhaoliang smiled and nodded. His eyes then fell on the Romance of the Three Kingdoms in Mr. Yu's hand, and he asked curiously, "Brother Jiancheng, what book are you holding? You seemed so engrossed in it just now."

Mr. Yu excitedly raised the book in his hand and said, "This is a birthday gift that Ah Xing gave me. It's much more interesting than those ordinary storybooks. It tells the story of heroes competing for power in troubled times. It's well written. I couldn't stop reading it just now."

Xin Zhaoliang's eyes flashed with interest. "Oh? So interesting? Let me have a look."

Xie Wanxing clapped his hands in his heart upon hearing this, "Open! This bookstore will open immediately!"
