Wenren Jia had already left Wenren Bookstore.
He had briefly participated in assisting with the revision of the old calendar in Chongwen Hall before resigning.
His aspirations didn't lie there, as he yearned more for travelling and exploring mountains and rivers.
Tang Xiaobai was reluctant to let his talent go to waste, so she dispatched several clerks to accompany him to engage in some surveying work while he traveled.
After all, whether it's astronomy and calendar systems or geography and maps, all require empirical data support.
After Wenren Jia left, Wenren Bookstore was handed over to Pei Xuan.
Pei Xuan would visit the bookstore every day, and spending the night there was also a common occurrence.
When reading, he disliked interruptions and usually only brought along a single servant.
If something happened to warrant sending the servant away, he would stay in the bookstore alone.
This situation could be called solitude, or it could be called being isolated.
