As soon as she'd sent off her items, Feng Qingxue immediately received a letter and parcels from others.
It was from Lou Shaonong and Lin Yufen, sending over some local specialty goods from their hometown and the Capital, the rest were all books—mostly literary classics, with a small portion of primer texts, all thread-bound. Some were engraved editions; others, hand-copied, and they all had been around for years.
While none were sole copies, some could certainly be called treasures, especially after what a cultural catastrophe had wrought.
Feng Qingxue treasured them like jewels and, taking advantage of her son's deep sleep, stored the books in her space, leaving only two or three primers like the Three Character Classic and Hundred Family Surnames in the outer room.
