Quick Transmigration: My Host's Darling Little Darling
Chapter 84 The Scholar vs. the Substitute Bride (18)
Lin Nan woke up the next afternoon.
The first thing I saw when I opened my eyes was the culprit that had caused me so much trouble yesterday.
When Sheng Yuan saw that he was awake, he fed him water and asked, "Are you hungry?"
Lin Nan felt his hand massaging her waist and couldn't help but glare at him reproachfully.
Sheng Yuan was charmed by his cuteness and smiled as he kissed his little husband's swollen lips.
Lin Nan did not dodge. He liked being close to his husband, even though his body seemed to be unable to take it.
It's comfortable, but it seems to take a bit of a toll on me.
"Why didn't you go to the academy?" Lin Nan thought it must be past 3 PM.
Sheng Yuan lifted him onto his lap, letting him lean against him, and while feeding Lin Nan mushroom and shredded chicken porridge, he explained, "I asked Chen An to ask for leave from the academy. You're still not awake, how could I possibly leave?"
Lin Nan leaned on his shoulder, a warm feeling welling up inside her.
Her husband is the best!
After eating, Lin Nan rested in Sheng Yuan's arms.
The opening day of the restaurant was very lively. Not only did the county magistrate and his family come, but the headmaster and teachers of the academy also came.
Of course, these people didn't charge any money; Sheng Yuan covered their expenses in the name of gratitude to his teacher.
The restaurant's decoration was designed by Sheng Yuan and Lin Nan themselves, and Lin Nan personally oversaw the process.
The first floor has a main hall with open seating, while the second floor has private rooms. The restaurant's tableware is engraved with the words "Fu Yuan" (福缘, meaning good fortune), the waiters all wear uniforms, the dishes are exquisite and elegant, and every customer who signs up for a membership card receives a specially made dessert from the dessert shop upon leaving.
Some customers who deposit money here are recorded and given a specially made, intricately carved silver or gold card as proof. Whether it's a silver or gold card depends on how much money you deposit. Cardholders have the privilege of reserving private rooms, with gold cards offering more benefits than silver cards. However, both gold and silver cards are limited in quantity, a form of scarcity marketing.
As for the desserts, they were also a gimmick, and could elevate the dessert shop's image. In addition, the dessert shop had been popular throughout the county since its opening, which also brought some customers to the restaurant.
The restaurant is now open for business smoothly.
Finally, with the county magistrate's praise, the restaurant became the most popular restaurant in the county, and the dessert shop became the most popular pastry shop.
Gu Shuqiao immediately bought a two-story shop, a courtyard not far from the He family's house, and servants.
It was also at this time that the county examination ended, and Gu Shuqiao successfully passed the county-level examination and became a Xiucai (a successful candidate in the lowest level of the imperial examinations). He also welcomed the elegant gathering held by the county magistrate.
Over the past few months, Lin Nan has been carefully cared for by Sheng Yuan and himself. His skin is fair and delicate, his complexion is rosy, and the red mole at the corner of his eye has become even more vibrant.
Today he was wearing a light blue gauze robe, and the same jade auspicious cloud hairpin was still in his hair.
Lin Nan designed this robe himself. He suddenly wanted to open a ready-made clothing store and told Sheng Yuan, who naturally nodded in agreement.
He meant that the money was his, and he could spend it as he pleased; if he ran out, he could just earn more.
The gatherings included both men and women. The men mostly discussed poetry and literature, while the women and men preferred to chat about clothes, tea, and snacks. Of course, no one wanted to miss the gossip.
Most of the participants were scholars who had passed the imperial examinations or wealthy people.
Most of the wives of successful candidates in the imperial examinations were similar to the candidates themselves, only flattering the wives of the county magistrate and the county assistant, and showing disdain for others.
Lin Nan and Shen Yunzhao have only one goal.
When the magistrate's wife and Zhou Qian saw the two men arrive, they pulled them to their sides, thus placing them at the center of the group of wives and husbands.
"Nan-ge'er, where did you get your clothes made? They look so good!" Zhou Qian looked at Lin Nan with sparkling eyes.
"Yes, it's really beautiful!"
"Yes yes yes..."
Many people echoed this sentiment.
Lin Nan smiled and said, "I'm planning to open a clothing store. This is my design, and it's one of the styles in the store."
Zhou Qian thought Lin Nan was amazing when he heard that Lin Nan was going to open another clothing store.
"I specially designed clothes for Aunt Zhou and Brother Qian. This is a one-of-a-kind piece. I hope Aunt Zhou and Brother Qian won't mind."
Nuonuo brought out two outfits: one was a deep purple embroidered robe, the embroidery of which was exquisite and had been done by a skilled embroiderer; the other was a light purple gauze robe, which was more lively and graceful.
Madam Zhou simply reached out and touched it, sensing his care, and smiled, even praising Lin Nan. Zhou Qian picked up the entire garment, compared it to his own, looked at it again and again, and said, "I like it very much, thank you, Brother Nan!"
His affection was obvious; everyone present could see it.
That's how his clothing shop gained a reputation.
“Apart from the two pieces for Aunt Zhou and Brother Qian, the other styles are all mass-produced, although there aren’t many,” Lin Nan said.
"Oh, I have to go check it out once the ready-made clothing store opens. Maybe I'll find something I like!"
"We should go and check; it would be a real shame if they didn't have them!"
People have a competitive spirit and a sense of curiosity; this was the first business principle he learned from Sheng Yuan.
On the surface, things seem quite harmonious here.
The situation is more complicated for the man.
Sheng Yuan and Gu Shuqiao were relatively close to the county magistrate, so their relationship with the county assistant was extremely tense.
Seeing that they didn't really enjoy socializing, the magistrate didn't force them and started chatting with others.
[Breaking news! Host, I've learned that two people are up to something. Do you want to listen?]
A soft, sweet voice suddenly rang out.
【explain. 】
Sheng Yuan put down the teacup.
[Li Jiang plans to drug Zhou Qian in an attempt to curry favor with the county magistrate!]
Wei Xing plans to have his sister, Wei Yu, drug the adults!
As soon as Nuonuo finished speaking, she noticed that the teacup in her host's hand had shattered into pieces.
