As the date of the Jixian Hall exam approached, many students from other places gathered in Xingyuan, Xingyuan was not a big city, and so many people gathered at once.

The library building jointly built by Gu Wan and the seven sons of the Mu family naturally became a place where students gathered.

In the Jixian Pavilion, the library building built independently by the Mu family is only for the scholars who are admitted to the Jixian Pavilion to study, and it is not open to outsiders, but the one that Gu Wan participated in the preparation, although the scale and the amount of books collected, and even the preciousness of the collection, cannot be compared with the main building, but it is free and open, not only for scholars, but also for ordinary people, as long as they are literate, they can come in and borrow books.

In addition to the subset of classics and history in the building, "The Complete Book of Agricultural Administration", "Tiangong Kaiwu", and some not-so-eyed contents, there are excerpts, but this kind of technical books are stored separately in the backyard, and if you want to borrow them, you still have to determine your identity.

In fact, it doesn't matter now, the library building is not famous, and those who come here are just students who are preparing for the assessment of the Jixian Pavilion, and no one enters the backyard at all, but in the future, the library will definitely become famous with the Jixian Pavilion, and when the time comes, you have to beware of foreigners entering to steal knowledge......

Gu Wan felt that she was a little woman, although she couldn't make any contribution to the fight against alien aggression, at least she couldn't drag her own hind legs, aliens were already skilled in bowing and horses, these years, if the Feng Dynasty hadn't relied on sharp weapons, maybe the Dawa tribe on the grassland had already stepped on the Central Plains and broken through Dayong.

Gu Wan's library building, once the head of the Luo family in Xingyuan spent 30 years to build, with a large collection of books, and then the Luo family's family declined, coupled with the withering of children and grandchildren, it was not a weapon, to this day, only the side branch left a single seedling, or a person who does not learn and has no skills, when Mu Qigongzi bought the small building for Gu Wan, the slightly more precious books in the library building were handled at a low price, and there was not much left.

However, the location is quite good. This octagonal small building, located in the southeast of Jixian Pavilion, is very close, half an hour's walk away, not in the downtown area, in a secluded location, just suitable for secluded study.

Because of the approaching assessment of the Jixian Pavilion, on the first day of the opening of the library building, there were many students who came to the door, half a month later, this small building has become famous, many students from poor families, or come to Xingyuan late, and can not find a place to stay, and even stay in the library building day and night, quite a long stay, Gu Wan couldn't cry or laugh about this, but Gu Anran was very happy.

The eldest brother of the Gu family, recently in the library and those students, debated the scriptures and debated a lot of fun, he read a lot of books, read "poems" and "rites", quick thinking, and read a lot of various treatises that were only available in later generations, often spoke amazingly, and within half a month, there was a tendency to become the leader of Xingyuan students.

Seeing this situation, Gu Wan simply bought a lot of bedding and sent it to save the students who were sleeping overnight from getting frostbite because the quilts were not enough, and asked Aunt Qian to go to the library every day to cook for these students, and also provided pen, ink, paper, inkstone and tea and snacks on weekdays, all of which were only charged at cost price.

If you don't even have this little bit of silver, or don't want to give it, you can also use copying books instead, and if you are willing to copy 20 pages of books for the library every day, tea and snacks will be provided free of charge. This little 'amount of labor', for the students who can get the recommendation and take the entrance exam, is definitely a trivial matter, copying books, but also enhancing memory, it is definitely a double win, many students from wealthy families also like to copy books in their spare time, which is not a chore at all for them, but fun.

Because of the many considerate manners of the Gu family's brothers and sisters, most of the students who come to study have a good impression of the Gu family, the first batch of students in the Jixian Pavilion will all be big people in the future, and they can make friends before they are developed, it is definitely the Gu family that has earned it, and in the future, this is Gu Anran's connections, of course, at this moment, Gu Anran, and even Gu Wan, must not think about it so much.

The longer they stay in the library, the more students from all over the world feel the benefits of the library.

This building has been built with good ancient wood, and the interior has also been designed by Gu Wan, built by Liu Mu herself, the tables and chairs are very thoughtful, and some small partitions are made with screens, so that students can read quietly.

And it's lit up all night, so you don't have to worry about reading here. The dense lamps and candles on the walls are shrouded in exquisite glass lampshades, the light is soft and bright, and it looks very comfortable.

It's just that the appearance of these lampshades shocked Uncle Wu and Aunt Qian trembling, and Wang Da and Wang Erhate had to stay in the building without sleeping. In the end, Gu Wan was made to cry and laugh, and another layer of gauze was put on the lamp, and a little disguise was made, which made Aunt Qian and Uncle Wu, Wang Da and Wang Er feel a little relieved.

Fortunately, the students who came to study were very reserved, and none of them took the initiative to see what the lights and candles looked like with such a good light, otherwise, they would have to be taken aback, although Gu Wan didn't think there was anything wrong with this, and she also thought that she was willing to study hard in the library building, rather than going out vigorously, in the name of study tours, the students who traveled the mountains and rivers, this little bit of concentration, will never be absent, even if you see the glass cover, at most you will feel novel.

The environment is good to say, more attractive, in fact, is the tea provided in the building, most of these people are elegant people, except for a small number of people who do not like tea, most of them like to taste tea and enjoy flowers on weekdays, and they are no strangers to tea, but in this remote town, the tea provided in the small library is to make all those who think they are well-informed, the aftertaste is endless, and the more they drink, the more addicted they are.

Those teas are actually the main road goods in the supermarket, the cheapest kind, a little point can be exchanged for ten catties, but compared with the world that is still very rough and does not even have the process of roasting tea, these teas are hard to find.

Later, almost every day, people asked what kind of tea they were in the library and where they could buy them...... Gu Wan simply asked Liu Mu to make a lot of bamboo tubes, and filled them with some tea leaves to give away as favors - tea cannot be sold privately, like tea, salt, etc., only merchants appointed by the imperial court can sell it.

However, the scholar has a good face, and he is not too embarrassed to eat for nothing, and more or less he will reward Wang Da Wang Er, Uncle Wu and Aunt Qian, who came to help in the library, as well as a few young men hired, so that they all made a small profit.

With the increase in the number of students who come to study, the library building has some signs of fame, and even Gu Yiqing Gushi, once at a banquet, said that this library has a complete collection of books, which is quite good, and even with Gu Anran's name, it is gradually known.

Just when Gu Anran and many students were reading and debating with great interest, the day of the Jixian Hall exam was finally approaching.
