Soul Manipulator [Quick Transmigration]

Chapter 43

The two of them walked out of the palace door, ignoring the men and women who came to strike up a conversation, but carefully identified the door where Yan Xueyi changed clothes just now.

Although they were waiting at the door when Yan Xueyi was changing clothes, the guest rooms in the palace looked exactly the same, and the flower beds in the center of the room were also similar, so it would be easy to get confused if you didn't pay attention.

Bian Xiaoping was still observing carefully, swearing that she would be able to find that room, while Gu Kai, who was a little impatient, had already grabbed a servant who had been staying by the side, and asked him coldly which door Yan Guiren entered just now.

Suddenly being picked up by an imposing adult, the ordinary guard was so taken aback that he almost fell into Gu Kai's hands.

Gu Kai shook him twice before he hurriedly regained his composure and stood upright.

Relying on his own memory, he hesitated for a while at certain places, and finally asked someone again, and finally pointed out a location to Gu Kai with certainty.

After the guard finished speaking, it was of no value. Gu Kai put him down, and pulled Bian Xiaoping to go directly to that position.

Fortunately, what the guard said about the room was correct. As soon as they entered the door, they saw Yan Xueyi's clothes were hung on the screen.

Bian Xiaoping wanted to go forward immediately and take off her clothes, but Gu Kai grabbed her clothes, stretched out his hand to pick up a piece of fruit from the nearby plate, and handed it to her.

Of course, Bian Xiaoping would not refuse Gu Kai's kindness, so she happily took the piece of fruit, and then was pressed on the chair to rest logically, watching Gu Kai go over and take off the clothes.

This dress needs to be folded and given to the inferior maids of Xueyi Palace.

Thinking in her heart, Bian Xiaoping quickly swallowed the fruit in her mouth and stood up: "The clothes still need to be folded, let me do it."

But her request was still gently rejected by Gu Kai, he smiled and spread out the clothes on the table in front of him.

Gu Kai has always been so gentle, Bian Xiaoping watched, except for a bit of tenderness in his expression, he had no other thoughts.

Naturally, she didn't notice that Gu Kai reached out to take off the jade pendant from his clothes.

Gu Kai reached out and took off the jade pendant on Yan Xueyi's waist and threw it into his sleeves, then turned around with a natural expression, held the neatly folded clothes in his arms, and said to Bian Xiaoping: "Pinger, let's go .”

The two of them walked out the door side by side, and then walked together to the little maid of Xueyi Palace.

Although the status of this little maid is not too high, she is not the same as the former Bian Xiaoping.

But Bian Xiaoping has been in Xueyi Palace for a long time after all, even if she is not familiar with this maid, she definitely has an impression.

She greeted the maid with a smile, and the little maid responded as if she was flattered, then carefully took the clothes that Bian Xiaoping handed her, and kept the posture of raising the clothes with her arms, and trotted to the place where they came. At the carriage, put the clothes on it as they were.

Gu Kai and Bian Xiaoping returned to the hall together, and stayed by Yan Xueyi's side.

Then nothing happened. Everyone was drinking and laughing together with smiles. It looked like a prosperous scene, very harmonious and beautiful.

Although Yan Xueyi didn't show anything on her face, she still clearly expressed her uneasiness and irritability through some small movements. Finally, when she saw Lu Xiujie getting up and going back to the palace, her expression could be described as joy.

Lu Xiujie and a group of concubines and servants planned to return to the palace, but Gu Kai and Bian Xiaoping, who lived outside the palace, did not need to go back at all, so the two of them greeted the palace ladies at the door, Then they climbed into their carriage and headed towards the house.

On the way, Gu Kai said that he was going to see the business of the grain store, so he naturally got out of the carriage.

The saying "Food is paramount to the people" is an eternal truth no matter in ancient or modern times. As long as human beings still need food to maintain their own survival needs, there will always be people who buy grain and rice to eat.

The business of Gu Kai's store has been good these few days, he went to inspect it, looked at the account book, and heard the staff around him tell him that the people in the palace just came to check the account book yesterday.

He put the ledger on his arm, his eyes closed slightly, as if he was looking at the things in his hands, but he was just emptying himself.

Selling official food, this matter sounds very powerful, and it feels like there will be a lot of lucrative water, but it is a benefit only for merchants who are rich and powerful and live in places far away from the imperial capital.

For Gu Kai, who sells official food at the Kailiang Shop in the Imperial City and has no network, although he can get a lot from it, it is absolutely impossible for people to say "the harvest is great" against their conscience.

At this moment, he flipped through the account book of the grain store, and his eyes naturally shifted from the book on his arm to the customers who were buying grain in the store.

With a grain store, it means that he can get a batch of good quality grain at a very low price, so can he consider opening another food store to sell some dim sum and steamed buns?

He tilted his head, and felt that his idea could be considered, so he turned around, looked back at the seat under him, and after confirming that he had found the correct position, he sat down directly, put the account book on the table, and continued He knocked on the table with one hand, and fiddled with the inside pages of the book subconsciously with the other, and began to fall into deep thought.

The young man standing next to him saw that the master had suddenly entered a state of nothingness, panicked in his heart, but he didn't dare to disturb Gu Kai, so he could only watch the master thinking deeply about things, and swallowed nervously beside him. .

If it is to make dim sum, it is more troublesome to hire professionals to come over.

And they are at the foot of the emperor. This city can be said to be the most prosperous place in the whole country. It is not an exaggeration to say that you can see one and a half dim sum shops within a few steps.A rookie like him started too late, and he didn't have any trump card to show, so he was really uncompetitive.

So… what about regular pasta?

For example, steamed buns, flower rolls, bean paste buns, dumplings, wonton buns, etc.?

Gu Kai leaned back a bit.

The chair didn't have a seat, but fortunately there was a wall behind it, which prevented him from falling directly to the ground.

Most of these things need stuffing, but he doesn't have a fixed supplier, and he doesn't have a way to buy things cheaply. It's really not worthwhile to do this business.

A pair of middle-aged women in the shop were chatting, they called each other loudly, discussing what to eat tonight.

One of the women smiled and picked up the basket on her arm, saying that her son would come back tonight and make dumplings for him.

The other said enviously, your son is really promising.

The two of them were picking flour while chatting, the words were filled with short and boring content from their parents, Gu Kai listened to a few words, and then closed his ears in boredom.

Speaking of dumplings, Gu Kai really wanted to eat them.

He was absent-mindedly thinking about buying a dumpling on the way back. At the same time, he looked down at the white noodles in front of him, and rows of neat dumpling wrappers subconsciously appeared in his mind.

Dumplings... dumpling wrappers?

Gu Kai seemed to have suddenly remembered something, and his half-closed eyes were completely opened. He observed the expressions of the group of people in front of him, and finally shook his head, closed the account book at hand, and looked at the people who had been standing there. The little guy behind him said "good" and left the shop.

The grain store is not too far away from the house, and at Gu Kai's pace, he can complete the distance in a quarter of an hour.

He walked out of the store, first put his right hand on his forehead, squinted his eyes and looked around for a while, until he found the right position, then he stabilized his steps and walked in a certain direction.

When Gu Kai passed a forest on the road, he didn't just brush past it as usual, but walked in, found a piece of relatively soft soil, then raised his foot to fiddle with the soil a few times, and finally threw the jade pendant on the inside.

In the end, he still remembered to add a few more handfuls of soil, so that the original emerald green jade pendant was stained with a layer of mottled soil.

After doing all this, Gu Kai looked around and made sure that no one was staring at him, then Shi Shiran walked out, with a rare calmness wandering between his brows and eyes.

When Gu Kai returned to the courtyard with a small bucket of steaming dumplings, Yan Xueyi was also eating with Lu Xiujie.

Although they had just returned from a wedding full of meals, the combined food intake of the two of them may not have been more than half of what Yan Xueyi used to eat.

After returning to the palace to rest for a while, Lu Xiujie deliberately came to Xueyi Palace to have dinner with Yan Xueyi with a mind to appease him.

The back kitchen prepared a sumptuous dinner, and Yan Xueyi and Lu Xiujie ate quite satisfactorily. Compared to the weird atmosphere at Lu Xiurong's wedding just now, the relationship between them is really very warm now.

After dinner, Lu Xiujie pulled Yan Xueyi to have a heart-to-heart talk. Yan Xueyi, who wanted to spend more time with the Holy One, was naturally happy in every way, and followed Lu Xiujie to the room quickly, thinking that they might The two chatted for a while, and then went to bed.

With this kind of mentality, Yan Xue also smiled all over her face, and the spring scenery was unstoppable.

Lu Xiujie could see the evil thoughts hidden in Yan Xueyi's heart at a glance, but he didn't reject this kind of thing, and he wanted to satisfy Yan Xueyi, so he didn't show it at all. Show a little reluctance.

The two rushed into the room, but after a while, Yan Xueyi ran out again in a panic. Before she even had time to straighten her slightly messy hair, she opened her mouth to call Xueyi Palace's servants over - Lu Xiujie It was found that the jade pendant was gone again.
