A few days later, Qiu Wen's bookstore was fully renovated and ready to open.
This bookstore in the capital could have opened much earlier. If Qiu Wen hadn't come to the capital, it wouldn't have mattered. But since she did come, she naturally had a better plan. Now, she can't say she's fully integrated into the circles of the capital, but at least she knows more people.
We're not really that close, but I could send a few books over later.
A few days before the opening, Qiu Wen had a batch of storybooks sent out and also told everyone about the bookstore. As a result, on the opening day, Qiu Wen's bookstore was packed with people.
Moreover, they were all women, each accompanied by a maid, which was quite a rare sight in the capital.
People passing by the bookstore were discussing what was going on. It was a newly opened bookstore that only allowed female customers. What was its charm that attracted so many people dressed in fine clothes to come and go?
Qiu Wen also helped out at the bookstore. The shopkeeper took care of the reception work, and she mainly met the princesses she knew.
Qiu Wen came out of a glass room, and Luo Xue came over and said, "Princess, the princess is here."
Qiu Wen didn't expect the princess to actually come back. She thought that when the princess said she would support the bookstore, she would just send someone over. By then, the bookstore would have enough reputation to make the bookstore famous.
The fact that the real person had come over was quite a surprise to Qiu Wen.
Qiu Wen rushed over.
"Greetings, Princess."
Beibei said with a smile, "Sister Qiuwen, get up quickly."
"Thank you, Princess."
When Qiu Wen arrived in the capital, she did not adopt a new name. Instead, she added a surname before her original name and became Niohuru Qiu Wen.
When Qiu Wen arrived, Bei Bei had already sent someone to choose storybooks.
"Sister Qiu Wen's words are truly captivating. If you open a bookstore in the capital, I won't have to beg my brother anymore."
It's not easy for a royal princess to have such a good relationship with the eldest prince. Although part of the reason is that the emperor's princesses and princes are all born of the same mother, she has some guesses about what the eldest prince is doing. Zhang Tingyu was very busy before he left, and the eldest prince was able to find time to think of his sister's love for storybooks even in his busy schedule.
"The relationship between the princess and the eldest prince is truly enviable."
Beibei said with a smile, "My brother is always bullying me. He won't even let me go to Cangzhou."
The princess in Cangzhou was raised with great care, so I'm afraid they might not be at ease with her!
"The eldest prince is probably worried about the princess. Cangzhou is not as familiar as the capital, and he is afraid that the princess will not be able to adapt."
Beibei knows that too.
The two chatted for a while, and then people started coming over to pay their respects.
Beibei came here especially to show her support today, so she didn't hide anything from anyone she shouldn't have. It's normal that some people know. After getting rid of Qiu Wen, Beibei met with two others, revealed her attitude towards Shu Si, and then left.
Within just two or three days, most of the well-informed women in prominent families in the capital knew about Wensi Bookstore.
Since the princess has been here, it means that she might come again. Those people probably know in their hearts that the chances of seeing the princess are not high, but there has to be hope, right?
Besides, if the princess likes a bookstore, then it must have something worthwhile.
As a celebrity, the princess's influence led to Wensi Bookstore gaining considerable fame in the capital within just a few days of its opening.
Looking at the current situation, Qiu Wen thought that she could open a branch in the capital. The capital has a large population, and naturally there are many wealthy people who are not short of money to read books and buy storybooks. One bookstore is not enough.
Qiu Wen's bookstore was operating smoothly and in an orderly manner. Meanwhile, Zhang Tingyu was also returning. He had done well in his exams; his knowledge was impeccable, and while he didn't always rank first, he consistently placed in the top three.
Luo Xue said, "Princess, there is a letter from Young Master Zhang."
Upon hearing Zhang Tingyu's letter, Qiu Wen quickly decided to read it.
After reading the letter, Qiu Wen felt even better. The letter said that he would be back soon and that everything went well in his exams.
Qiu Wen had only one devoted relationship in her two lifetimes; the lovers were deeply in love and longed for each other.
It's been almost a year since they parted ways. During that time, correspondence was inconvenient, and the pain of longing was the most unbearable. Qiu Wen couldn't stop thinking about him. Although she was busy, in the quiet of the night, all she could think about was his image. Now that she knew he was coming back, she was overjoyed.
Zhang Tingyu will not go to Cangzhou for the time being after this return. He is waiting for next year's imperial examination. After the examination, based on his knowledge and qualifications, he can then follow Bobo.
In the past, people called him Lord Zhang, which was somewhat improper. Officials valued their background, especially since Zhang Tingyu came from a noble Han family. If he hadn't gone through the imperial examinations, he would be seen as illegitimate and lacking legitimacy in the eyes of others.
The Zhang family naturally received Zhang Tingyu's letter as well.
"Madam, this is Tingyu's letter. Please take a look!"
Madam Zhang had not heard from her son for a long time. When the letter came suddenly, she saw that Zhang Ying's complexion was still acceptable and he seemed somewhat happy, so she knew it was not a bad thing.
Madam Zhang read through the letter and then smiled: "It's good that he's back, it's good that he's back! This child is not young anymore. Now that he's back, he can take the imperial examination next year, and we can start looking for a match this year. Once he finishes the exam, we can settle down. That would be just right."
Madam Zhang had her reservations about her son going to Cangzhou back then, so how could she not be happy now that her son was coming back?
In recent years, he has sometimes been unable to come back for holidays. He is alone outside, and Mrs. Zhang has worried about him a lot.
