Squatting in the study room, pinching the nib of his pen to look up relevant information, the more he searched, the more desperate he became. There was no content in his family's library, and Qiao Yu couldn't help but feel a little discouraged.How about asking dad?After struggling for thousands of times, Qiao Yu finally knocked on his father's study with a feeling of trepidation. His father was an outstanding student in the whole family and even in the Ming Dynasty. He must be very disappointed to have such an incompetent son like him.

"Come in." Father's voice was low, occasionally accompanied by one or two coughs.

Qiao Yu pushed the door lightly and went in, standing silently in front of the desk.Under the candlelight, her father's temples were gray, and the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes all hurt Qiao Jing's heart. Is her father already this old?Suppressing the soreness in his heart, Qiao Yu put the plan for the library renovation and book shelves that he initially conceived in his hand on the table, and looked at his father with expectant and evasive eyes, "Father, the prince's brother-in-law asked the child to build a library. , but did not explain other details to Haier. I only know that this is a library open to the public, where books can be viewed for free and borrowed for a fee. These are some ideas written by Haier, but there are still some places that I still can’t figure out. I just wanted to ask Dad."

Qiao Yang clenched his hands into fists and coughed twice, seeing his son looking at him with worried eyes.He secretly thought that he did not believe Feng Mu this time, and Feng Mu really knew Yu'er, so he would come to ask him.Before that, Feng Mu also explained to him the specifics of opening this library, including the height of the bookcases, the classification of books and the subsequent borrowing fees. He also made some targeted changes based on the tips given by Feng Mu.And a few days ago, they were already preparing books for various subjects. This was not only a chance to train Qiao Yu, but also a chance to raise the reputation of Qiao Mansion to a higher level.

Qiao Yang took the plan on the table, asked Qiao Yu to sit down, and carefully read it. As someone who was not familiar with Qiao Yu, although his ideas were immature, he had to say that there were indeed some bright spots.

……

"You see, there are quite a lot of subjects in the books. We separate them into each layer of books according to the columns of education, literature and art, economics and management, humanities and social sciences, life, technology, etc., and then arrange them according to the radicals and numbers at the top of the books. The books are placed." The science and technology column was picked out by Feng Mufei separately, and it mainly placed some books on architecture and industrial technology.Most of the affairs of the library were led by Feng Mu. As for the classification of books, scholars, farmers, businessmen, Feng Mu considered each category in detail. Qiao Yang was also amazed by this.

……

"Well, what Yu'er said is right, the bookshelf should not exceed six feet (two meters) at the highest." Hearing Qiao Yu's analysis, Qiao Yang nodded in praise.

……

Seeing the two father and son discussing happily in the study, the master is no longer in a disappointed state of hating iron and steel, and the son is no longer in a state of tit for tat. Mrs. Qiao stood outside the house and wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes. The son is finally the governor .

When he came out of the study, Qiao Yu was light and airy. How long had it been since his father praised him? He was really happy, even happier than getting a horse!With his father's appointment, he has full confidence in the opening of the library tomorrow.

With the proposal written by staying up all night, Qiao Yu went to the store early in the morning, and Ping An invited a top carpenter to wait there, and he had to tell the carpenter the idea he and his father had yesterday.

Regarding Qiao Yu's matter, in fact, Feng Mu had already discussed the general direction with his father-in-law in secret, but the small details left over were the time to test Qiao Yu.His father-in-law was more concerned about this matter than him, and Feng Mu was also happy to let go. After all, public libraries only appeared in the late Qing Dynasty, and now they are many years ahead of schedule, so they are more in line with the national conditions and the people's conditions. On this matter, The father-in-law who is a full-time national policy adviser is more experienced than him.

On June [-], it is advisable to get married, crown the crown, and close the account. Avoid opening the market and traveling.

"Princess, the price of the materials on the ledger handed over from the big kitchen at the end of the month is a bit abnormal. Concubine?"

Qiao Jing shook her head in the room, shaking the prince out of his thoughts. Today is obviously Jinger's birthday, but the prince said that he would give her a surprise. With this sentence, Qiao Jing thought about it all day long. He couldn't go in, and he couldn't listen to it, and he was so happy that the Ximao next to him couldn't see it.

Mother Xi raised her voice again, "Princess?"

"Well, it's hot these days, so it's normal for it to go up a bit." Qiao Jing seemed to be talking about the price of the big kitchen in a daze, but when she came back to her senses, she looked at Mammy Xi's disapproving eyes, and then she was serious again. After reading the accounts of the big kitchen, "Sumei, come here, go to Manager Zhang and ask about the prices of spices, eggs, and white pears. If what Manager Zhang said is not consistent with the accounts, you can ask her to come here tomorrow morning. If he admits his mistake in time, you will let him come here tomorrow afternoon."

Mammy Xi looked at the concubine with a smirk and a deep thought. It must have something to do with the prince, but she didn't know what it was. She was really curious, but they are servants, and they must not inquire about the master's family casually. Things, but when the princess is happy, she is happy.

But don't say that Madam Xi didn't know, Qiao Jing herself didn't know either, the prince only told him to wait for him at night, and then went out mysteriously, at noon he said that Suoqiu came back and said that he was outside with Qiao Yu After eating, she hasn't seen the prince yet.

At this time, Feng Mu, who was being missed by Qiao Jing, was timidly hiding beside the stone lion in the palace, and whispered, "Suoqiu, you carry this and go ahead. Do you remember the yard you passed by in the morning? Put this thing in that yard, be careful, don't let them be discovered."
