Why marry someone when you are reborn?

Zhao Mu looked Xu Yun up and down and asked, "Why, is there anyone in your family studying?"

Xu Yun smiled and said, "Yes. My family is also a declining clan."

Zhao Mu suddenly became more enthusiastic as if he had met a soulmate: "Your family too? Which family are you from?"

Xu Yun remained calm and said, "The Xu family of Wu County."

Zhao Mumang felt a little embarrassed, pursed his lips, and said with a somewhat awkward tone: "Sorry, I haven't heard of it..."

Of course Xu Yun wouldn't mind. After all, she lied. It would be strange if Zhao Mu had heard of it! But there are many such families in the world, and no one would seriously investigate. She smiled and said, "Can you take me to the literati gathering? I haven't seen such a gathering yet."

After a pause, Xu Yun lowered his voice again: "I also have a few good books, and I was thinking about whether I could exchange a few with others to read."

She had been thinking about this deal for a long time.

It is true that you need points to borrow books from the library, but!!! If you can exchange them for more books, even if you only earn one point at a time, the accumulation of a little will be considerable!

The key is that you don’t have to spend much effort, and you can also read it first…

As Xu Yun thought about it, the smile on his face became even gentler and shyer.

Is this exchanging books? No, it’s like printing books!!!

In the past two days, she has fully experienced the speed of the library. It is really fast! Faster than when she reads a book! If you really want to pursue speed, reading ten lines at a glance is not as fast as the library's reproduction speed!

At this moment, Zhao Mu was also deeply moved.

As a reader, what I want to read most is the books I haven’t read yet!

Little did he know that he had fallen into the trap set by Xu Yun.

However, Zhao Mu still struggled a bit: "But, there is no precedent of bringing women to the gathering——"

Xu Yun said with a serious face: "I heard that there was a woman named Xie Daoyun in the Xie family of Chen County. She was very talented in writing and often participated in literary gatherings."

After a pause, Xu Yun mentioned Xiao Zheyue: "Besides, you guys won't let Xiao Zheyue participate?"

Zhao Mu hesitated.

Xiao Zheyue was born into the Lanling Xiao family, a true aristocratic family. She is now a well-known female official beside the king. If she were to attend, others would certainly not object and might even give her a warm welcome.

In that case...

Zhao Mu looked at Xu Yun and said, "How about you try it?"

Of course Xu Yun responded immediately: "Try it!"

However, there were no gatherings in the last few days, so Zhao Mu made an agreement with Xu Yun that he would tell her when there was one.

Of course Xu Yun would not let Zhao Mu go just like that, so he gave Zhao Mu his address in North City and asked him to pick up the book the next afternoon, saying that he was lending it to Zhao Mu.

Zhao Mu was surprised and delighted, and subconsciously asked, "Aren't you afraid that I won't return it?"

Xu Yun smiled and said, "I see that you, Zhao Mu, have a noble bearing, a clear and upright brow, and are the character of a scholar. You will definitely not do such a thing!"

Zhao Mu was so moved that he almost cried.

Xu Yun estimated that if he were a man, Zhao Mu would have proposed to him that they become sworn brothers.

Anyway, when Zhao Mu left, he had already completely regarded Xu Yun as his confidant. He felt that Xu Yun had excellent vision.

As soon as Zhao Mu left, Xu Yun called the old shopkeeper and asked him to look at the letter as well.

The old shopkeeper was so excited that he touched the book cover with three big holes in it, as if he was touching the tender face of his concubine at home: "Good, good, good!"

He also asked Xu Yun: "Can you fix it?"

Xu Yun nodded: "There is definitely no way to fix the damaged part at the back, but I can repair the broken and stuck parts. This kind of paper can be wet-steamed before peeling off, so it is relatively easy to peel off."

The old shopkeeper was even more satisfied.

Xu Yun took the book back and smiled brightly: "What about the commission——"

The old shopkeeper’s smile froze.

Finally, he angrily said, "You can't miss it!"

Xu Yun went to work with satisfaction.

However, there was a lot of work to be done to repair this book. Xu Yun worked for an entire afternoon and only completed the first step: taking the book apart and coding each page.

After work, Xu Yun stretched, then went straight to the house in North City and handed a book to Chen Fu, asking Chen Fu to give it to Zhao Mu tomorrow.

When she got home, Hongyu had already prepared food for her.

Smelling the fragrance of the food, Xu Yun immediately quickened his pace, washed his hands and face, and sat down at the dining table.

Xie Wanqing scooped two spoonfuls of egg custard for Xu Yun and said distressedly, "You've been tired all day, take a break."

Xu Yun was really hungry. After working for a whole afternoon, his arms and neck were extremely tired.

After dinner, Hongyu prepared hot water for Xu Yun. Xu Yun took a bath and fell asleep without saying a few more words to Xie Wanqing and the others.

When he woke up the next morning, Xu Yun went to work refreshed.

Today, Xu Yun will use the wet steaming method to slowly peel off the pages that are stuck together, separate them one by one, and then dry them, iron them flat, and wait for rebinding.

While waiting for it to dry, Xu Yun took the opportunity to rub two paper nails.

Paper nails are poked out of paper, with a hollow tip. They are used to bind books. This way, even if the binding thread breaks, the book will not fall apart. This is a good thing that makes books more stable.

But the job of rubbing paper nails is completely a technical job.

It took Xu Yun three years to finally make a usable paper nail.

As you can imagine, this is very difficult to learn.

At this point, the day passed again. During this period, Xu Yun collected a few old books and got to know a few poor students.

Poor children have limited resources, so they often sell the books they don't need and buy more suitable used books. This saves money compared to buying new books.

After work, while sitting on the bus on his way home, Xu Yun discussed the issue of opening up access with the library.

After working for so long, Xu Yun has accumulated nearly a hundred points.

These 100 points, plus the previous ones, have already reached the edge of unlocking the next level of reading permissions. But there are two types, one is science and technology, and the other is literature.

After asking carefully, Xu Yun finally chose literature.

She doesn't have any use for technology now, but the literature includes the works of many great scholars!

These things are really useful in the imperial examinations!

Moreover, it is something that Xu Yun may not be able to find even if he looks for it outside!

After deciding on the direction to open the permissions, Xu Yun started to think about how to spend these points. In the end, he decided to save them first.

The functions the library mentioned are good, but the points are not worth spending.

Good steel should be used on the blade!

Xu Yun thought to himself: When I have enough points, I will redeem them all for holographic simulated lectures and immersive experiences!

However, when Xu Yun returned home today, he found out that Luo Zhan had returned.

He returned with military merit and a big fat sheep as a reward from the palace.

The neighbors are going to slaughter a sheep.

Aunt Deng said that her family couldn’t finish the whole thing, so she sold half one.

When Xu Yun heard the news, her face twitched. She had to raise her hands to cover her face and asked Xie Wanqing a question: "Didn't Luo Zhan stop Aunt Deng from doing this?"
