"No, no, this method definitely won't work. I can't do it at all. That's why I said it. I have little talent and little knowledge. If I go out at this time and make a fool of myself, wouldn't it attract attention?"
Gu Qiang had made up her mind and would never go. When Gu Huaian saw his sister like this, he couldn't force her. After all, this matter was too ridiculous to talk about, "Since Qian'er doesn't want to Go, don't let her go, let's think of other ways, maybe it will be useful."
Since Gu Huaian has said this, Gusu Liang and Qi Bai don't have any objections. After all, this matter is indeed a bit ridiculous now that I think about it. "Then you can only think about it and see what I can do." .”
Gusu Liang spread his hands. He had a relatively large business in Kyoto, so Shen Zhongbai's men came to him many times, hoping that he could become an official in the court, but he refused for various reasons. Well, now Gu Qiang, using the identity of Gu Su Ran, is considered a new face in front of Shen Zhongbai. If Gu Su Ran can show off his talents in Kyoto and attract Shen Zhongbai's attention, it would be a good idea.
"But what exactly does it take to show off your talents? Most of the property in Kyoto already belongs to you, Mr. Gusu. Is it possible that I want to take over all of it now?"
Gusu Liang seemed to be frightened by Gu Qiang's words, "Of course it's impossible to give it to you! What I mean is, after the scientific examination, there was an auction by the largest chamber of commerce in Kyoto. If I help secretly, Maybe you can show off your skills in that chamber of commerce."
This method sounds at least much more reliable than the previous method. It doesn’t require you to take the exam yourself. Although Gu Qiang was a young lady from a famous family, how could she think of the same thing as those students who had studied hard for more than ten years? What about the discussion? When the time comes, if you lose someone, you might even arouse others' suspicion, then the gain will outweigh the loss.
"Okay, okay, this method is very good!" Gu Qiang immediately became happy when he heard that there was another solution. For him, this matter was at least much simpler than the exam.
Gu Huai'an was also a little helpless. This matter may not be as simple as Gu Qiang imagined. Although the emperors of the past dynasties really selected people with excellent business talents in Kyoto as officials, they also had to wait for these officials to enter the court. After becoming an official, he must sell all his business. Although the law does not clearly stipulate that officials' relatives cannot engage in law, after all, Shen Zhongbai is the emperor, and whether he is right or wrong is his alone. After all, it's a bit risky.
But there seemed to be no better way at the moment. Since Gusu Liang didn't care, he wouldn't say anything more.
If you want to stand out in the Chamber of Commerce, you should at least know some basic trading rules. Otherwise, if Gu Suliang is too late to help her, Gu Qiang herself can follow the original routine and make a few random sentences to support the scene.
"I didn't expect that after going around in a big circle, I still want to look at these things." Gu Qiang looked at the account book in his hand helplessly. He had never been exposed to these things since he was a child. At first glance, they seemed a bit confusing. Da, I usually laugh at Gu Suliang because he can only read the account book, but looking at it like this, it seems that it is not a simple matter.
"Okay, after reading this, you can rest. It's nothing too important, but you have to be prepared. I heard that Shen Zhongbai is particularly concerned about this chamber of commerce auction, so he will personally participate in this chamber of commerce auction. You You must be careful when doing things, and you must not reveal any flaws, and don't rush for success. Your brother and I will be by your side to help you."
Gusu Liang had just received the news, otherwise he would not have known that this chamber of commerce was so important. If Shen Zhongbai really participated this time, there would definitely be many people watching inside and outside. If the slightest hint of flaws is revealed, it will leave endless troubles in the future.
But now Gusu Liang doesn't want to put too much pressure on Gu Qiang. After all, as long as Gu Qiang's identity is not exposed, they will still have a chance and will not be caught by Shen Zhongbai for such a trivial matter.
"Okay, then you should go back and rest early."
Gu Qiang sent Gu Su Liang away, but she couldn't sleep. Perhaps because of these things, she stayed with them, and even she began to believe that Shen Qianshan, who had not been heard from until now, must be safe. He will definitely return to him safely. Such unfounded confidence really made Gu Qiang feel a little ridiculous. She didn't know where Shen Qianshan was now.
From the roof of Lingyin Pavilion, you can see the brightly lit world outside. It is still early, and there are still many hawkers on the street selling goods. Gu Qiang has hoped countless times that he was just born in an ordinary life. In the family, if this is the case, I will not become a pawn in the hands of my father, and my mother will not die of illness. I can live a normal life, and maybe make a lot of friends, but not now. In this situation, the whereabouts of her lover are unknown, and she has lost her child, and all of this is because of the ruthless villain Shen Zhongbai in the palace.
Gu Qiang took out her diary from her baggage and took advantage of the chaos to leave the palace. She didn't have time to put anything on, but she only took this diary with her and held it tightly in her chest. In the past few days, I have really thought a lot. Maybe if I had not fallen into the water, nothing would happen next. I would not have done so many things. I hope to change my destiny. I and Shen Qianshan would not be together. Brother He wouldn't be alive until now.
This diary has helped him so much. Gu Qiang now only hopes that this diary can help him fulfill his wish and let Shen Qianshan come back safe and sound, then he will be satisfied.
Gu Qiang fell asleep peacefully, and the Chamber of Commerce also arrived as scheduled. This was the first year of the Chamber of Commerce since Shen Zhongbai ascended the throne, so Shen Zhongbai paid special attention to it and visited the Chamber of Commerce in person to see what Gusu Liangzhi had done in Kyoto. In addition, are there any other business wizards worthy of my help
"Your Majesty, are you ready at that time? I'm at the top. I guarantee you can see clearly." The president of this chamber of commerce is also a well-known figure in Kyoto. When he heard that the emperor was going to visit this chamber of commerce in person, , I had prepared various things a long time ago and were waiting for him. Shen Zhongbai came over. Unfortunately, this man's businessman spirit was too serious. When Shen Zhongbai saw him, he felt a little disgusted, but today he came to take a look. If there are no talents who can be used by themselves, they simply endure it. When the chamber of commerce ends, they will take the chamber of commerce back to the court. Naturally, they will choose another person as the president of the chamber of commerce.
Shen Zhongbai walked to the seat on the second floor and looked at the people coming and going. Most of these business people were the same as the president just now. They were full of philistine spirit. He was the only one he could like. Gusu Liang, who has always refused to say that he is not interested in being an official these days, has no choice but to do anything to him.
"By the way, will Mr. Gusu come today?" Shen Zhongbai didn't understand the current situation, and he still needed to ask the president if he didn't understand anything.
The president did not answer, but asked back, "Which Mr. Gusu is the emperor talking about?"
"Are there a few more people in Kyoto?"
"Your Majesty, you don't know. Originally, Gusu Liang was considered a business wizard because he opened so many shops in Kyoto. But recently, he brought his younger brother who was recovering in the south to Kyoto. Gusu Ran is even more powerful. Who is better than Gusu Liang? In just a few days, not only Lingyin Pavilion, but also several other shops under Gusu Liang have become It’s becoming more and more popular, it’s true that heroes come out of young boys.”
Although it is said that, on the surface, these are Gu Su Ran's credit, in fact, it is Gu Su Liang who is behind all this. This is just to make Shen Zhongbai notice Gu Su Ran faster. .
"Gusuran..."
Shen Zhongbai shook the fan in his hand, but he didn't know. Gusu Liang really didn't want to be an official in the court, so what on earth did his younger brother think
Previously, Shen Zhongbai wanted to use Bai Zhi to take back some shops in Kyoto for himself and become a shareholder behind the scenes, but he did not think of that matter. He went round and round and was idle because of Bai Zhi's death. Now that he thinks about it, his subordinates are indeed If he lacks such a person, if he is smart enough and has enough business acumen, it should not be difficult to help him win various stores in Kyoto.
After being told this by the president, Shen Zhongbai did become somewhat interested in Gu Suran. Gu Qiang and Qi Bai, who were both well-disguised, entered the chamber of commerce one after another. The president of the chamber of commerce had sharp eyes. When he saw him, he quickly pointed it out to Shen Zhongbai, "Your Majesty, look, the person who just walked in is Gu Suran!"
Looking in the direction of the president's finger, Shen Zhongbai frowned. He was clearly still a child, and he was not as reliable as Gusu Liang. It was really as amazing as they claimed. Skill, is he really a god
Gu Huaian came to the chamber of commerce because he wanted to help check on the surrounding situation. At least Gu Huaian had been to the chamber of commerce before, so if something really went wrong with Gu Qiang, he could give her some advice.
Gusu Liang disguised himself as another servant and followed Gu Qiang. He sneaked closer to Gu Qiang and whispered, "Shen Zhongbai is on the second floor. Don't look up later."
