Soul Manipulator [Quick Transmigration]

Chapter 35

After recalling it carefully and earnestly for a while, Gu Kai finally admitted with some frustration that his guess at the beginning, or all the time, was wrong.

Lu Xiurong has something to do with an ordinary-looking clothing store, not the Zuihuanlou, which is not a good place at first glance.

... For a long time, no matter if it is the main character or supporting role, as long as it is in ancient times, if you open a shop in private, isn't it always related to these seemingly mean things?

...Especially for characters like princes and concubines who have something to do with the royal family—Royal Daqing/Lou, isn't this kind of painting style pretty good?

Gu Kai's thinking didn't have any major drawbacks, but this kind of inertial thinking did bring him big troubles. From the beginning when he stood at the intersection and looked around, his thinking was completely wrong. It can even be said that his conjecture and the truth were even connected. Can't match the sides...

Fortunately, no one knew about his actions, and Xiao Yuan only thought that Gu Kai was interested in Zuihuanlou, Bian Xiaoping only knew that there was a friend of Gu Kai in Zuihuanlou, and it was impossible to piece together the cause and effect based on this information.

Gu Kai moved his legs again.

At this time, the carriage had already returned to the courtyard, and a group of people got out of the carriage. Gu Kai also quickly changed his expression to pretending that everything was under control, and walked into the courtyard.

The small grain depot was already full of grain, and several strong servants were raising their arms again and again, stacking bags of grain.

Seeing Gu Kai approaching, they all hurriedly stood at attention and said hello to Gu Kai: "Master."

Gu Kai casually replied "Yes", then walked into this grain depot transformed from an ordinary small yard, patrolled around, and reached out to ask for the account book.

The account book is fairly detailed, but at present, only a batch of grain has been imported, and there is no additional transaction, so the above content is very simple. Gu Kai glanced at it and calculated it in his mind. He nodded and returned the account book. To the manservant standing next to him.

Next, he took a look at the location of the store, and went to the relevant people to come to consult. He felt that there was no problem, so he decided on the business.

Bian Xiaoping's small shop was about to open, and Bian Zhu and Bian Wang both put on fresh clothes and wanted to help beat the gongs and drums, but Bian Xiaoping felt that it was just a small shop that was often overlooked, and there was no need to spend so much time on publicity. .

Bian Wang didn't say anything, but his displeasure was evident on his face.

In her opinion, someone in her family is able to open a store in the imperial city, which is something that can be told to her ancestors by burning incense, and she has also seen the layout of the store, which is really an eye-opener. There will still be such a beautiful house in the world.

There's nothing wrong with beating gongs and drums, and if you can hire another team to juggle lion dances... Hey, that would be exciting.

She was full of thoughts, wishing she could immediately transform the thoughts in her mind into reality.

But Bian Xiaoping still rejected her request clearly, just made a signboard and covered it with a red cloth, and on the day of the opening, when the shopkeepers watched the red cloth, she picked the red cloth off with a long pole, and it was considered as the opening.

After opening, Bian Xiaoping's business was mediocre. After a while, she gained a reputation of "good quality", and the business increased.

However, she didn't want to destroy the brand she had built with great difficulty, so her requirements for quality became higher and higher, and the number of orders she received remained at a low level.

Bian Xiaoping's business opened in a moderate manner, and Gu Kai's grain store also became famous after a few days of preparation.

In opening this grain store, Gu Kai's goal is to make money to support his people, at least he can get out of the undercurrent that may happen in the future.

Therefore, when he first opened the store, he made a huge amount of publicity. He also deliberately referred to the means of modern shopping malls and prepared a bunch of gifts, explaining that customers would get a small gift as much as they bought.

In fact, this small gift is not worth much, but there are still many people rushing to buy a lot of food, and then leave happily holding a few gifts.

The momentum of the grain store is good, and there is a big backer behind it, and there are almost no competitors.

But at the same time, he also needs to check the accounts of the grain store with the people sent by the court every month, and take out a commission to pay tribute.

The business of the grain store is booming, and Gu Kai has been focusing on the grain store recently, not paying attention to the movements of the harem, and he is in a hurry to check the pulse every day.

When he finally came back to his senses, he found that in the harem, medicinal diet had been popularized. Concubines with chronic illnesses took medicinal diet to treat illnesses, and healthy concubines took medicinal diet for prevention.

Yan Chongyi and the chef are busy running around every day, eager to hand over all the tasks to their subordinates, but they are afraid that there will be some big mistakes in this newly established department, which will cause everything to return to the original state, so everything is still the same. Take good care of yourself.

They wanted to ask Gu Kai to come over to help, but they saw that he was also busy managing the newly opened grain store all day long, with a busy look like he was hitting the back of his head with his feet, and he almost couldn't squeeze out the time to teach the students every day.

So the two of them didn't tell Gu Kai about the busy situation here until Gu Kai finished his work.

Their behavior is really good, Gu Kai has nothing to repay except hard work.

So he simply used the time off from the imperial approval every afternoon to work in the newly opened medicated food department, and only went out every night to check the business situation of his store. After roughly browsing the account book and confirming that there was no problem, Gu Kai went back to the house for dinner, and then had dinner with Bian Xiaoping chatted for a while, and finally went back to her room, lit up the dim candle, continued to study her work, and did not fall asleep until midnight.

Occasionally, Bian Xiaoping woke up late at night, and could always see the faint candlelight still burning in Gu Kai's room next to her. The candlelight flickered, causing Gu Kai's shadow to dangle back and forth on the window.

At first she thought it was just a coincidence, so she put on her clothes and went to Gu Kai's window, knocked on the window and asked him why he was up so late today.

Gu Kai told her that he had a backlog of work recently, and he had to work hard to finish the work, and he was about to go to bed soon.

Bian Xiaoping believed it was true, and only told him not to stay up late, which would be bad for his health, and then walked back to the room on the grass that condensed the night dew.

At the beginning, Bian Xiaoping could still think that Gu Kai had really accumulated a lot of things some time ago, but seeing that he didn't sleep well for more than ten days in a row, and the haggard look on his face could no longer be concealed, so he finally blocked Gu Kai one day, In a strong tone, he asked him why he was so busy recently and what he was busy with.

Her posture was a bit aggressive, Gu Kai covered his mouth and yawned lightly, then looked at Bian Xiaoping standing in front of him.

"It's just too much work," he said.

A look of disapproval appeared on Bian Xiaoping's face, but before she had time to speak, Gu Kai continued: "Besides, I can't just stay in this position," his eyes were nostalgic and tender, as if there was something hidden in his eyes. Leading a dynasty that can make people fall: "I said, I will marry you, and I will work hard for my goal."

His words were full of useless and charming emotions, Bian Xiaoping listened blankly, and shed tears after a while.

"Don't worry..." Bian Xiaoping shook her head: "You don't have to be so anxious, I'm fine, as long as you love me."

This sour conversation lasted for a while, and finally Gu Kai left Bian Xiaoping tenderly and reluctantly, going to bed half an hour earlier every night.

But even if it was half an hour earlier, it was not considered an early bed. His fatigue still existed, and as time went by, more and more people gradually discovered it.

For example Yan Xueyi.

That day Gu Kai went to check Yan Xueyi's daily pulse.

Yan Xueyi was in a good mood, so she looked down at the little imperial physician, only to find that Gu Kai's eye circles were slightly darkened, and the previous straight kneeling posture had changed into a slightly trembling and crooked appearance, as if all the pain had been taken away. He was full of energy, drooping his head listlessly.

She hesitated for a while, and when she felt Gu Kai's fingers trembling slightly, she still asked: "Doctor Gao seems a little uncomfortable...?"

As soon as she said this, everyone in the main hall cast their eyes on Gu Kai, and even a eunuch trotted over immediately and helped Gu Kai take a few steps away from Yan Xueyi, fearing that the imperial doctor had some disease and would contagious it. to the empress.

The way they made a big fuss made Yan Xueyi laugh a few times.

Gu Kai focused his energy, pushed away the little eunuch beside him, saluted politely, and said that he was just busy recently, so his body was a little tired, and it was not a serious problem.

Yan Xueyi also felt the same way, so after listening to Gu Kai's explanation, Yan Xueyi nodded, so that the group of attendants around her didn't have to think too much, just just quietly watch over.

Under the eyes of everyone, Gu Kai walked up to Yan Xueyi.

As soon as he stretched out his hand to feel his mother's pulse, he felt that the eyes shot at his back were like clusters of steel needles, piercing his whole body with pain.

Gu Kai let out a breath, stopped the finger that was about to touch Yan Xueyi's wrist, and then asked with some embarrassment: "May I ask these guards not to look at me..."

The little imperial doctor looked cute in embarrassment, and Yan Xue also admired it for a while before agreeing to Gu Kai's request and asking the guards to bow their heads.

Although they are unwilling to carry out this order from the empress, they are Yan Xueyi's slaves and must obey her orders.

So everyone could only lower their heads reluctantly, but their eyes were turned up desperately, as if they wanted to pull their own eyeballs to the top of their heads, and closely monitored Gu Kai's every move.

No matter what they were thinking in their hearts, they still could only look at their own feet, and dared not look at other places at all.

Gu Kai squatted down, turned sideways to block the eyes of the maids, and when Bian Xiaoping was looking at the group of well-behaved guards, he reached out and quickly tore off a jade pendant on Yan Xueyi's waist.

This jade pendant was hung on Yan Xueyi's waist when Gu Kai met Yan Xueyi for the first time, and Gu Kai also saw this jade pendant many times after that.

Today I don't know if it's because the belt is not tied properly or for some other reason, the jade pendant on Yan Xueyi's waist is very loose, it looks like it will fall off if she pulls it.

Gu Kai tried it, and it really fell off as soon as it was pulled.
