Chapter 207 - 207 203 Even the Divine Monarch Has Fears
?Chapter 207: Chapter 203 Even the Divine Monarch Has Fears Chapter 207: Chapter 203 Even the Divine Monarch Has Fears The two most famous bookstores in Shaxi County are Boyue Bookstore and Boxue Bookstore.
These two bookstores have shops in many cities across Xuanyuan Country and are well-known for selling a wide variety of books with good quality paper and ink, and well-written characters.
The two bookstores were also where the Ruo Shui brothers once copied books to earn silver.
Originally, Boyue Bookstore was doing better than Boxue Bookstore, but after driving away the Ruo Shui brothers, Boxue Bookstore surpassed Boyue Bookstore and snatched away many of their regular customers.
Later on, Boxue Bookstore somehow managed to persuade Master Fang, a leading figure in the calligraphy world, to come out of retirement and help them create typefaces. The new books on the shelves of Boxue Bookstore all featured Master Fang’s handwriting. Although they were printed and not original manuscripts, the characters were identical to those written by Master Fang himself.
Master Fang’s calligraphy was a model that many students aspired to imitate, which is why their business boomed.
However, since the opening of Wenyuan Bookstore, business had been worse day by day, with customers only coming to buy the Four Treasures of the Study. After all, Wenyuan Bookstore had just opened and did not have as many of the Four Treasures as the two larger bookstores.
When business at the bookstore was poor, the shopkeeper was also to blame. Fearing they would be chastised by their employer, they immediately wrote a letter to inform their owner of the situation.
When the letter reached the Capital City, Yu Gefan, the owner of Boyue Bookstore, had just finished dining with his wife. After reading the letter, he frowned and said, “It’s that Across the Waters again!”
Mrs. Yu, upon seeing this, asked, “My lord, what does the letter say? Is Across the Waters helping Boxue Bookstore copy books again?”
“No, it’s a new bookstore. Since it opened half a month ago, there has been no business in our store,” Yu Gefan said as he handed the letter to his wife.
