After the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, the takeaway service of the perfume shop stopped, not that no one went to deliver it because Nuohai was injured, but because things had some variables.

Although it is logically said that he is a scholar, Gu Huai really does not have the consciousness of a scholar, the silver should be earned or earned, and this kind of thing does not exist for Gu Huai, so he still asked Xiaohuan to send Qingfeng Lou and go to Mingyuefang by himself, but on the afternoon of the fourth day of the new year, when he came back after delivering the perfume, several men who had been blocking the door of the shop surrounded him.

Gu Huai thought that these people were going to do it at first, so he was vigilant, but who knew that several men sang in unison, said a happy New Year, and seriously wished a prosperous business.

"Guys, which one is this?"

"Don't hide it from the shopkeeper, our brothers' affairs are over, the owner gave Xin'er, from today onwards, I won't bother the shopkeeper."

Gu Huai, who had mentioned some medicine, thought thoughtfully: "Is it to see that the perfume can still be sold, and you plan to go other ways?" ”

"The shopkeeper is a person who understands, and he hasn't spoken ill of our brothers these days, so we don't hide it," the man who took the lead is very bold, "The owner must still have ideas, our brothers can't stop the shopkeeper, that's because we don't have the ability, but the shopkeeper don't let go in advance." ”

In the past few years, the people who blocked the door were so polite, which really made Gu Huai a little uncomfortable, and the bold men with some earthy and reckless spirit hugged their fists and walked towards the end of the long street, Gu Huai looked at it for a long time, and then shook his head and retracted his gaze and entered the shop.

On the surface, it seems that it has not interfered with the business of the shop, whether the perfume should be sold or sold, and if it can't be bought at the door, it will be sent by him, the owner, but in fact? Gu Huai wants to open this shop into a chain store.

Just ten or twenty bottles are sold out every day, what kind of climate can it become? Besides, the money of perfume will have to come down sooner or later, and now it is a fresh picture before anyone sells it, and wait until imitations or substitutes appear on the market, and wait until the market is slightly saturated, and then five taels of silver will be bought.

And these encounters inevitably made Gu Huai realize the fact that having money doesn't seem to be of much use.

As a later generation, there is too much knowledge beyond this era in my mind, as long as people are not stupid, they can make some money by using their brains, just like Gu Huai's initial thoughts, as long as life is good, where are there other pursuits? In his previous life, he was a ninety-nine-six social animal, and in this life, he was already a bodhisattva to be a landlord and a treasurer, what else do you want?

But there are some things that I don't want to think about when I can't meet them, and when I encounter them, I feel powerless, and the so-called saving money becomes worthless after meeting the elite class, Gu Huai always can't help but think, if it wasn't Nuohai who had a conflict with that person that day, but himself, would he have a way to get out of Mingyuefang safely?

It doesn't seem like there is, you have to know that the last time you were able to walk out of Qingfeng Tower, half of it was thanks to Mr. Nalan's poem, and half of it was thanks to the blessing of the little county lord of Zhongshan Palace.

Otherwise, Pu Hong wouldn't have died, and his eyes would have been gouged out that night.

After all, it is a feudal society, and power is much more important than money, but the class solidification is too serious, and Gu Huai really can't think of any way to cross the class.

Do you want to take the imperial examination? I have a talent status, but I can try next year's autumn season, is it too late to buy the Four Books and Five Classics back for tutoring?

Pull it down.

Give the medicine to Xiaohuan and let her boil it, Gu Huai rolled up his sleeves and began to chop wood, these days Nuohai is seriously injured and can only stay in bed, these chores need to be done, Xiaohuan is a woman after all, her physical strength is insufficient, she is tired enough to sweep the shop and deliver and cook every day, but she can't leave everything to her.

However, the patio soon sounded a coquettish scolding, and it is conceivable that the little girl must have rolled her eyes widely, followed by Gu Huai's confession, probably why can't a scholar do physical work...

Lying on the bed, Nohae closed his eyes and felt a little unreal.

After the events of that day, he thought that he was afraid that he would be reprimanded and kicked out of the shop, but in fact he knelt down for that gentleman, partly out of fear, and partly out of not wanting to get out of his present life--you must know that when he was in the streets, he did not offend the nobles, but the slippery young man could always run away, with the help of his familiarity with the streets and alleys, and the lowly like weeds, he hid in the cowshed of some stinky ditch, and the limelight was over.

But now it's different, he's a guy in a shop, although the shopkeeper didn't pay him, but he made clothes for him and gave him red envelopes, and patted his head when he ate to let him eat more, and now he's growing up, there is a gentle maid like a big sister who always speaks softly, and when he measures his shoulder width and feeds medicine, he also mentions that he didn't have a younger brother before he was sold as a maid.

All this reminded him of the smell of horse manure and grass he had smelled on the grassland many years ago, hazy and unreal, but he could catch it to death, so when he knelt down for that gentleman, he thought that as long as he didn't make too much trouble, he would be kicked out of the shop, even if it was worth taking a beating.

Who knew he had a broken leg.

But the shopkeeper still didn't drive him away, and took him to the doctor to buy medicine, and told him to wait until he got better and then continue to look at the shop.

The boy lowered his head and wiped his eyes, as if something had entered.

"I didn't cry when my leg was broken, but I hid and wiped my tears, this is not like a tough guy," Gu Huai pushed open the door and lowered his sleeves, "What sad thing did you think of?" ”

Nuo Hai struggled to sit up, but was pressed down again by Gu Huai: "If you are injured, lie down, hurt your muscles and bones for a hundred days, and be honest when you drink medicine, Xiaohuan said that you don't drink medicine alive or dead, what's the matter?" ”

The boy lowered his head: "Yes... I'm sorry. ”

"It seems that I feel sorry for money," Gu Huai sighed, "Don't think you're in a lot of trouble, where can you behave in the world without making any mistakes?" And this thing... It's not your fault at all. ”

"Hate or hate? Ever thought about revenge? ”

The young man shook his head, and Gu Huai only saw a flash of hatred.

Only a hint.

He sighed, ready to comfort him a few more words, but Xiaohuan's shout suddenly sounded: "Young master, front door, front door..."

Walking out of the room, bypassing the patio, before entering the shop, Gu Huai heard a boiling voice.

"shop, selling this kind of thing, hurt my whole face! Everyone, look at it, the perfume sold in this store will become like this when you apply it! ”

patted the small ring that was stuck against the door panel, and Gu Huai, who was expressionless, opened the shop door, only to see that in front of the dense crowd of onlookers, a woman with an extremely penetrating face was scolding hysterically.

Facing the finger pointing straight at him, Gu Huai frowned: "What's wrong?" ”

"Phew! Still loaded? It was the perfume I bought from your shop that made my mother become this virtue! The woman scratched her face, and some blood and pus flowed out of the rotten sores: "The old lady was also a famous handsome lady back then, but she has become like this, and the old lady wants to take you to see the official!" ”

This extremely disgusting and terrifying appearance caused the onlookers to "hiss" in unison, only to see that the woman's face was not only extremely ugly and terrifying, but even the occasional exposed arm was full of pus.

"The guest laughed, perfume is just a spice, there is no need to apply it at all, and it is not harmful to the human body at all..."

A small porcelain vase was held high by the woman, and the unique scent of plum blossoms came out: "Look! This shop sold me five taels of silver, and I only used it for a few days, and then I suffered such a disaster! You say it's just spices, but dare to take out the raw materials and take a look? ”

Gu Huai was silent, it turned out that he was waiting for him here.

It's a lot of money.

Although the tricks used were a little bad, and the performance was a little exaggerated, but it did work, for a new thing, with such a woman as an example, whether it was true or not, the reputation was completely stinking.

Look at the expressions on the faces of the people who gathered around... Is this what you can't get and ruin?

Gu Huai looked at the sky speechlessly, he just wanted to do business honestly, why was it so difficult?

Before the matter was over, a few soldiers suddenly pushed away the onlookers, and the armor continued to sound: "You are Gu Huai?" ”

"Yes."

"Yanwangfu takes people! The rest of the people were scattered! ”

The leading soldier clenched the hilt of the knife and showed his waist card with a fierce voice: "Come with us honestly!" ”
