On the third day of his recovery at Jiang Mansion, Li Xuan received his rewards for repelling Li Zhetian.
Quan Dingtian sent his two disciples to deliver him a heap of calligraphy and paintings, a heap of handwritten classics, a heap of unique books from previous generations, dozens of folding fans, more than a hundred pieces of stationery such as paperweights, pen holders, inkstands and the like, among which there were many rare items. These were gifts to comfort him.
In addition, there was a pile of articles for him to review - all from students of the Guozi Bureau in south Zhili and well-known scholars people in and out of the area.
After receiving them, Li Xuan felt like he could just open a bookstore. He had a smile on his face, but, in his heart, he swore, can't you give me money? Money, OK?! That's what I wanted!
Why can't you be a little more mundane? What's the use of these things that can't be eaten, drunk or sold?
