After Reincarnating into Ancient Times, She Bound a Express Delivery System

Chapter 224

Qi Huan couldn't help but laugh at the system's response. She said generously, "I'll give you a point!"

"Take it, this is a point from your father!"

"...Suddenly, this system doesn't want points so much anymore!" The system shut itself off, essentially going into self-imposed isolation.

With the peace and quiet restored, Qi Huan took out the hair dye and handed it to Song You'an. "You'an, your hair is quite long, so wearing a wig might not be very convenient. Your cousin has a box of something here that can dye your hair black directly."

"However, using it in large amounts for a long time might not be good for your health. So, you can dye it for important occasions, but just wear a wig or hat normally."

As she finished speaking, the joy in Song You'an's eyes grew even more intense, almost overflowing.

"...Cousin... This hair dye you mentioned... Can it really turn my hair black?"

"Of course! When has your sister ever lied to you?"

Qi Huan opened the box of hair dye, playing the role of a hairstylist, and helped her witness the miracle of white hair turning black.

By the time they finished dyeing, the sun had risen to its zenith.

Song You'an obediently let Wan Wan dry her hair, then walked into the courtyard, feeling for the first time in her life that sunlight could be so warm.

She lifted her chin, forcing back tears, and broke into a radiant smile. "Cousin, thank you. Today is the happiest day of my life."

"Not just today, I hope every day of You'an's life from now on will be filled with happiness."

Qi Huan sat her back down at the dressing table and personally styled her hair into two buns.

"You'an, would you like to go out for a walk with your cousin?"

After Qi Huan spoke, she noticed in the bronze mirror that the young girl first lowered her eyes hesitantly, then bravely lifted her head and gave a soft "Mm" in agreement.

She had successfully encouraged Song You'an to face her new life, and the system awarded her another point.

Adding the points for gifting the wig and hair dye, she had already gained three points. She took out a veil she had prepared earlier and attached it to Song You'an's ears.

Although Song You'an's hair had turned black, some commoners had seen her appearance last night. Qi Huan was worried she might be recognized, so she gave her a veil to cover up a bit.

After finishing their grooming, the two went hand in hand to Qingsong Court.

In the main hall, Old Lady Song was teaching Elder Madam Song how to manage the household. Just as Elder Madam Song was feeling overwhelmed, she caught sight of two bright-eyed beauties gracefully entering.

As she looked closer, wow!

You'an's hair had turned black!

Could it be because she had sent a table full of pastries to the Goddess of Fertility she had offended in the past, late last night?

Elder Madam Song couldn't sit still. She quickly stood up and walked to Song You'an's side.

Seeing Song You'an's jet-black hair, she was about to speak when tears fell first.

Old Lady Song was long used to her lack of composure and merely beckoned You'an over, curiously asking, "You'an, how did your hair suddenly turn black?"

"...Cousin gave me an ointment, and it turned black after I used it. ...But cousin said this ointment can't be used often, so she also gave me a wig."

This was the first time Old Lady Song had heard You'an say so many words.

She counted on her fingers - it was over ten words!

Old Lady Song smiled so widely that the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes appeared. She held Song You'an's hand in one hand and Qi Huan's in the other, saying happily, "Huan is truly our Song family's lucky star. You'an, you must remember Huan's kindness."

"Although you are sisters and we're all one family, the kindness that should be remembered must be remembered. Grandmother is truly very happy today..."

Old Lady Song, who had been strong all her life, also felt her eyes growing moist, but she held back her tears.

She couldn't be as lacking in composure as her eldest daughter-in-law!

The grandmother and daughter-in-law alternated between crying and laughing, their gazes full of contentment when looking at Song You'an, and gratitude when looking at Qi Huan.

Qi Huan took this opportunity to suggest, "Grandmother, I'd like to take You'an out to buy some books. Is that alright?"

How could Old Lady Song refuse?

Her granddaughter was not only beautiful and studious but also had excellent medical skills. Which old lady in the entire capital could be happier than her? She had to cherish her blessings and be a kind, lovable old lady.

As long as the request wasn't too outrageous, she was willing to agree.

She grinned and replied cheerfully, "Of course you can... Also, remember to bring back a few storybooks for your grandmother."

As she spoke, she gestured for Nanny Wu to hand Qi Huan a bulging purse.

At the same time, Elder Madam Song, who was usually quite frugal, also quickly asked Jin Chuan to fetch some silver.

She couldn't fall behind!

Huan had helped You'an dye her hair black; she was their great benefactor!

Elder Madam Song's gaze towards Qi Huan grew even warmer.

People's feelings develop through interaction, and the more they interacted, the more she liked this niece.

Not only was she pleasing to the eye, but she was also very capable. First, she had given Che'er masks and pills, and now she had helped You'an...

Feeling her intense gaze, Qi Huan returned a gentle smile and asked, "Aunt, do you need me to bring back any books for you?"

Elder Madam Song's gaze immediately became blank, and she shook her head like a rattle drum. "No need, no need! It's getting late, Huan, you should go now, so you don't miss lunch."

Urged by her, Qi Huan held Song You'an's hand as they boarded the carriage heading to Puhui Bookstore.

On the way, the system kept prompting, "Good deed +1, Point +1."

Her books were cheaper than other bookstores, which was a great thing for scholars. So every book sold earned her a point.

In addition, the system awarded her an extra ten thousand points.

"The appearance of movable type printing has improved printing efficiency, promoted cultural dissemination, reduced book prices, and changed the situation in Li Country where only a few people could afford to buy and read books. It has far-reaching effects on future generations. Therefore, the host is rewarded with ten thousand points!"

After it finished speaking, Qi Huan's eyes curved into crescents as she smiled, revealing two adorable canine teeth.

Indeed, it was still necessary to do great things to earn more points!

When she reached the highest level, she wanted to use her phone to look up more information and strive to promote the development of various industries!

At this moment, Yan Twelve's voice came from outside the carriage: "Miss, there are too many people ahead, the carriage can't get through..."

Qi Huan lifted a corner of the carriage curtain and saw that a long queue had formed on Academy Street, winding towards the fifth shop on the south side of the road.

The thoughtful Xiu Yuan had sent an assistant to maintain order outside. Most of the people buying books were scholars, and mindful of their reputation and cultivation, everyone queued up properly, creating a harmonious scene.

Several queues had formed outside the three-bay storefront.

Under the Puhui Bookstore signboard personally inscribed by Li Shuchen, two large red banners with white characters were hung.

This was Qi Huan's idea.

She had Xiu Yuan find an embroiderer to make a banner that read: Grand Opening Special, Buy Five Books Get One Free, One Day Only!

Xiu Yuan took the initiative a step further and had another banner made, displaying the prices of various common books.

It clearly told everyone: We're cheaper than other stores.

Come quickly!

Buy now!
