His hands gently massaged her wrist with natural and tender movements.
Ye Muyu rested assuredly in his embrace, enjoying being attended to.
She lazily yawned.
"Why the sudden sorting of books related to gambling?" Chu Heng asked.
Ye Muyu told him about today’s events and mentioned the library, her eyes brightened, "What do you think of my idea?"
"It’s a good idea." As soon as Chu Heng heard it, he understood. Once the day the library bees famous arrives, as long as the library stands firm, the Chu family and the Ye family would also remain unshaken.
"Do you need help from me?"
"That’s not necessary; it’s still early. Although there are quite a few books in the study at the residence, once taken to the library, they would not count for much. Besides, I have many types of books that are yet to be organized."
"I estimate that fully organizing everything might take ten to twenty years." Ye Muyu thought of something when she said this, uttered an ’eh’, "Speaking of which, I can already select some young boys and girls who love reading from the old family to e to the capital. There are quite a few by my side to help me organize books."
Such a big library, Ye Muyu didn’t want to handle everything herself, it was best to find more talent.
One person’s power is limited.
The development of the whole family is the point.
Naturally, family rules are very important.
"Sure, since the establishment of the family school, there have been quite a few scholars. Maybe the development was too fast, forcing many children into the imperial examinations, wasting a lot of talent."
"Moreover, it’s not just the imperial examinations, other industries are equally good choices."
"Regarding the library, I will send word to the family. Selecting specific talents will take a little time." Chu Heng’s words expressed his attitude of support for whatever she does.
Ye Muyu’s lips curled slightly upward, visibly fortable.
"Since there’s no hurry, let’s not busy ourselves tonight. During the day, did you not write quite a bit?" Seeing Ye Muyu occasionally needing to rub her wrist, Chu Heng’s brows furrowed, not approving of her being this tired.
Especially with constant writing, over time, wrist strain wouldn’t be easily treated.
Indeed, finding more people to help is imperative.
"I have a few candidates; they’re all orphans raised up. If you’re willing, arrange for them to e over; you’ll dictate, they’ll write."
Ye Muyu laughed, holding her stomach looking at him: "Ah Heng, you really think of me as immobile, huh? If it were really like that, wouldn’t it mean that in the future, you’d struggle to find my original manuscripts?"
She said this intentionally to make Chu Heng worry less about her. Though writing for long hours could be tiring, she had maidservants at the residence who occasionally massaged her wrist, and the ointment from Lu Sangqi was effective. It’s not frequent or serious, plus she exercised at the residence regularly. Wielding a sword might be demanding, but simpler self-defense techniques are easy to maintain.
Afraid he would persist on the topic, perhaps eventually trying to constrain her daily work hours, she quickly changed the subject.
"By the way, those orphans you mentioned, I don’t need them for now. However, the bookstore does. If you have the time, send these orphans to Tang Dongfeng’s place for an interview?"
"Alright." Chu Heng knew the bookstore still lacked manpower. Though recently in the imperial court, Minister Qi and others were getting a bit impatient wanting to deal with him, this didn’t affect the bookstore’s business.
