"Sis, that's a great suggestion! If we could create individual fonts, type them out, print them, and reuse them repeatedly, wouldn't that be much faster?"

Su Wan sighed, "That's too difficult."

Liu Huan, however, thought differently: "Nothing in the world is difficult if you are willing to try. I think it's worth a shot."

"Stone, what do you think?"

Su Yi replied earnestly, "Whatever makes you happy, I'll do whatever you want."

Liu Huan was delighted: "Okay, I have nothing else to do anyway, maybe I can actually figure it out."

She was in seclusion conducting research, but the Imperial Academy was in an uproar over what she was teaching.

They had a heated argument over the numbers one to one hundred that she had written down.

"I strongly disagree."

An old man puffed out his beard and glared, clearly very dissatisfied with the previous suggestion.

A slightly younger teacher said, "Master Cui, our country's arithmetic has been ridiculed many times. If this young lady really knows it and teaches everyone, it would be a new breakthrough, wouldn't it?"

The teacher, referred to as Master Cui, turned away, saying, "Anyway, I firmly disagree. Don't think that just because someone knows a few characters from the Western Regions, they can become a teacher. How dare a mere young girl like her?"

Seeing that persuasion was ineffective, the young scholars could only secretly conduct their research in private.

Liu Huan knew nothing about these things; she was seriously experimenting with movable type printing. She remembered that she first used clay, the kind used for pottery, to make individual characters of the same size in reverse.

A mixture of rosin wax and paper ash was placed on an iron plate. The iron plate was used to separate the characters, and the characters and the mixture were heated together with fire. While still hot, the characters were flattened with a flat plate.

You can make a rubbing by brushing on ink.

Su Yi provided logistical support throughout the process, finding whatever she needed.

After several attempts, Liu Huan finally completed a layout for the rubbing and excitedly took it to Su Yi's room.

"The stone has become a stone."

Su Yi had just returned and was changing clothes. The moment their eyes met, he didn't look away and slowly put on his clothes in front of her.

Liu Huan opened her mouth and stared wide-eyed at what she saw.

For a moment, I was stuck there.

Su Yi waved his hand in front of her face, "Snap out of it, what are you doing?"

Liu Huan's face suddenly turned bright red, and she muttered, "Why didn't you say you were changing clothes?"

Su Yi chuckled as he looked at the person crying "Stop thief!" and said, "This is my room."

Liu Huan, though unjustified, was still defiant: "Anyway, I don't care, it's your fault."

Seeing that someone was getting impatient, Su Yi stopped arguing with her, afraid of really making her angry.

Changing the subject: "What do you want with me?"

Liu Huan then remembered her main purpose for coming. "Ta-da! Look at this."

Liu Huan held up the paper for him to see, "How was it? Wasn't it a great success?"

Su Yi looked at the neat handwriting on the paper and couldn't find any flaws. He raised an eyebrow and asked, "How did you do that?"

Liu Huan said, "Quickly praise me!"

Su Yi took it and looked at it very carefully. Then he looked up at her for a long time and finally patted her head. "You're amazing. How can you be so amazing?"

Liu Huan's lips curled up, brimming with pride. "That's right. There's nothing I can't do if I want to."

"Come here, let me show you how to do it."

Liu Huan printed out a new copy of the page in front of him and showed it to him, saying, "Isn't this much faster?"

Su Yi was greatly shocked; he hadn't expected Liu Huan to actually possess such impressive book-printing skills.

Huanhuan

"Hmm, what's wrong?" Liu Huan asked, noticing his serious expression.

"great"

Liu Huan chuckled, "So you think this can make money?"

"Okay, what do you want to do?"

Liu Huan pulled him back to the room, looked around, closed the door, and whispered, "Which prince do you support?"

Su Yi saw that her eyes were bright and didn't know how to bring it up.

Does this have anything to do with it?

"Of course, this is very lucrative. You need to find a strong backer, otherwise you can easily be framed."

Seeing how serious she was, Su Yi also said a name in a serious tone.

Liu Huan nodded in understanding, "Okay, then let's cooperate with the young master of the Prince's Mansion."

Su Yi had no objection to her idea, and even took the initiative to stop her, saying, "In that case, I'll talk to her about it."

Liu Huan readily agreed; she just needed to wait to receive the money.

When Guan Chang returned that evening, Su Yi told him about it, and Guan Chang agreed. It was very dangerous to be in the capital without a good background and good skills.

He then brought up another matter.

"I saw my uncle today. He invited us to visit his home tomorrow, and I agreed."

Tomorrow is a day off, so Su Yi will have some free time.

When Hai hour arrives, it's time to rest.

The next morning, Su Wan and Liu Huan prepared the local specialties they had brought from home and the things Guan Chang had bought the day before.

After everyone got ready, they took two horse-drawn carriages to Uncle Wang's residence.

As soon as he arrived at the door, a servant came to greet him, "Young Master, please come in."

As a sixth-rank official, the Grand Secretary's residence was not particularly large.

However, the style, furnishings, and items inside don't look cheap.

Upon arriving at the main courtyard, two men and women in their forties sat in the main seats, both with smiles on their faces, but it always seemed as if the smiles didn't reach their eyes.

Greetings to my uncle and aunt.

Lord Wang

Madam Wang stood up and pulled Su Wan up, saying, "Get up quickly, there's no need for such a grand ceremony among family members."

Lord Wang led Guan Chang and Su Yi to the study, while Madam Wang questioned Su Wan in the courtyard.

He ignored Liu Huan completely and didn't ask her a single question.

"How is your mother-in-law?" Madam Wang asked.

Su Wan explained, "My mother is very kind. She asked us to come and greet my uncle and aunt when she came, but it was delayed until now due to various reasons."

Madam Wang patted her hand, "That's good. Now you've finally seen the light at the end of the tunnel. Lord Su is so promising, is there any marriage proposal for him?"

Su Wan glanced at Liu Huan, about to speak, when a voice interrupted her, "Mother, has my cousin-in-law arrived?"

The group looked in the direction of the sound and saw a girl in a yellow gauze dress, followed by a beautiful woman with her hair tied up.

The group exchanged glances, and none of them looked too happy.

Madam Wang beckoned, "Come here quickly, this is your cousin-in-law, Mei'er. You and your third sister-in-law haven't seen each other for several years, have you?"

Miss Wang reluctantly called out "Sister-in-law," while Guan Mei smiled happily: "Third Sister-in-law, where's Third Brother? I haven't seen him."

"He went to the study with his uncle."

Looking at the group, Madam Wang said happily, "Wan'er, you should come to our house often. You're all about the same age, you'll definitely get along well."

The group completely ignored Liu Huan, and Su Wan couldn't even get a word in edgewise when she tried to introduce them.

Liu Huan didn't mind and used the excuse of going to the restroom to go for a walk.

I thought the flowers were really nice.

Looking at beautiful things can improve one's mood.

"What, haven't you had enough of looking after these things all day at the Prince's mansion?"

Liu Huan turned around and saw Miss Wang.

Then I heard her say sarcastically, "A maid is a maid. Even if she isn't now, she still can't change her nature as a maid."
