This is a story about four women. Shen Shao guarded the tea shop left by his father, and gradually expanded his business to the Western Regions from a clumsy girl who couldn't even calculate the accounts; Xiao Nongyu sat in the corridor of Honglu Temple for three years, with the pile of translated documents taller than a person, and no one remembered her name until her death. Books spread all over Chang'an; as much as Wang Tan was determined to run away from home, she was so stubborn in opening the small bookstore; Yuchi Yan ran away from Longxi to Chang'an and found her own world in the stables of Taipu Temple. She thought she would never look back in her life.
They met in Chang'an, supported each other, and grew up separately. There is no golden finger, no romance from heaven, just countless copper coins, endless documents to translate, books that cannot be sold, and horses that are not fed enough. But they carried it with a smile.
In the prosperous age when all nations came to court, four girls who did not want to accept their fate lived the way they wanted.
If you have ever counted coins in the middle of the night but couldn't count them correctly, this book is for you.
Intention: "Chang'an was not built in a day, and we did not become like this in a day. But looking back, every step counts."
