Heirs of the Seven Swords of the Qin Dynasty

Chapter 377 Let’s have a meal
  As expected by Gu Xun, Wenxin Hou Lu Buwei personally visited the house and brought about a very significant advertising effect.

That afternoon, a dozen or so people came one after another.

By the next day, after the news had completely spread in Xianyang, the number had doubled again. In just one morning, dozens of customers came, basically all of them were wealthy businessmen and officials at all levels, whose status was higher than that of ordinary people. But he's not really a big shot.

‘Dozens’ is obviously not a big number, but it is already very rare. After all, this is a medical clinic, not a restaurant. Unless Gu Xun continues to sell small pills, the constant flow of people will mean that there is a plague in Xianyang.

It is naturally a good thing to have more customers, especially since they are not short of money. Gu Xun easily earned several hundred gold.

The only bad thing is that a considerable part of this group of people are not sick and have no disasters. They are not here to seek medical advice at all. They just want to see if there is any nepotism between Gu Xun and Prime Minister Lu Buwei. They want to get close to each other and try to get closer. A little bit about their relationship with the Prime Minister - these people can be regarded as Lu Buwei's faction, but their status is not high enough, they can only be regarded as pawns, and they are not qualified to get close to Lu Buwei.

That is to say, because I am not qualified, I don't understand anything, so I rush to the door and try my luck.

Gu Xun, based on the principle that since everyone is here, he must give them a look, he casually prescribed some medicine for calming the mind and clearing fire, and by the way, he charged hundreds of millions more for medicine and consultation.

As for why these gangsters were willing to pay obediently... it was because Gu Xun openly stated that Lu Buwei came to see him for medical treatment - insufficient kidney essence, weak Qi, and imbalance of yin and yang. In short, it was kidney deficiency.

The insinuation of this sentence is very strong - Lu Buwei is originally a middle-aged and elderly man, and he is obviously not good at that aspect, but he is not good at it, and he cannot tolerate others making fun of him.

What's even more terrible is that the relationship between Lu Buwei and the Queen Mother Zhao is unclear. Basically everyone in Xianyang knows something about it. Gu Xun's words also brought the Queen Mother along...

As soon as these words were heard, the group of fake patients knew that they were out of luck.

Anyone who dares to say this is either too close to Prime Minister Lu, so close that they can even make such a joke, or the relationship with Prime Minister Lu is too bad, and they are determined to fight no matter what, and they don't care to stimulate the other party more.

They generally think it's the latter.

But neither the former nor the latter was something they, a group of pawns, could afford to offend. They could only accept their fate with a grimace and accept Gu Xun's forced buying and selling, in order to save their money and avoid disaster.

After dealing with this group of people, the time also came to noon. Gu Xun decisively closed the door of the medical clinic and hung up a sign with the words "out of town".

Although it was fun to cheat people for money, it was only small money after all, just to earn living expenses. Gu Xun really had no interest in dealing with those fools who were thinking about evil ways, so he decided to take a rest in the afternoon and give some rest to the restless people in the city.

You should all be sane tomorrow.

Walking on the bustling street, Gu Xun leisurely put his hands behind his back, welcoming the sunshine of summer and autumn. It felt pretty good, warm and hot, but not poisonous. At least, people who don't get the sun would feel their skin burning and painful.

Gu Xun's eyes swept across the shops on the roadside, and his focus was naturally on restaurants.

Walking all the way from South Street and crossing the Weishui Bridge, Gu Xun saw a small restaurant with a simple signboard, specializing in a certain type of food, such as pasta. He also saw a high-end restaurant with rich decoration, spacious space and people coming and going. There are restaurants and even some vendors that have no shops but just set up stalls on the roadside.

Of course, this was not the first time Gu Xun had seen this. He was already somewhat familiar with it and no longer had complex psychological activities. However, when he saw this scene for the first time, the first thought that came to his mind was 'History is the bones, art is the wings'...     This is simply not the level of commercialization that should have existed in the pre-Qin period.

Of course, Gu Xun was very satisfied with this, and even wished that Xuanji could become less osteoporotic, so that his life could be more enjoyable.

Facing the restaurants and restaurants all over the street, Gu Xun had some difficulty in making a choice. He had already tasted a lot of restaurants in these streets, including big restaurants, small restaurants, and even roadside stalls. As for the taste... Some were delicious, some were ordinary, and the latter two often gave him some surprises, allowing him to taste a lot of unique foods.

So what are you going to eat today? I don’t seem to see any new stores that I’ve never been to?

Gu Xun muttered to himself while strolling along the wide and clean streets.

After hesitating for a long time, he hammered his palm and made a decision - go to Xianyang Palace and enjoy the royal family's food.

I don’t know how Ying Zheng’s dining scene is like? Hmm...certainly not like Lafayette, who eats more than two hundred dishes in one meal.

After making up his mind, Gu Xun immediately changed his route and went straight to Xianyang Palace without thinking too much. It was already dinner time, and if he arrived late, Ying Zheng might have already eaten.

He walked quickly across the street, passed the inspection, entered the palace gate, and hurried straight to Ying Zheng's study in the north.

In the end, Gu Xun had just enough time to catch up with Ying Zheng who was about to leave the study.

"I have met His Majesty the King of Qin." Gu Xun bowed his hands in a good manner, with a smile on his face. After all, he was here to have a meal, so he had to be kind.

"Mr. Gu? Why are you here at this time?" Ying Zheng was startled for a moment when he saw Gu Xun, and then asked.

As far as he knew, Gu Xun took food very seriously and rarely did anything extra during meals to avoid delaying his meal.

"Ah...haha." Gu Xun rubbed his hands and was not embarrassed. He just smiled and said frankly, "I happened to pass by the palace and saw that it was noon. It was time to eat, so I thought of coming in to have a meal with Your Majesty. .”

"...I see." Ying Zheng's face stiffened for a moment, then returned to normal... This was indeed something Gu Xun could do. He gave a faint smile and responded, "That's just right, I'm going to have a meal. , sir, let’s come together.”

Ying Zheng was flanked by two palace attendants. After hearing Gu Xun's words, his face suddenly changed and he showed an angry look. He wanted to point his finger at Gu Xun and scold him, but before he could make any move, he heard Ying Zheng quickly suppressed his reply and his face turned red.

Seeing that Gu Xun was favored in front of Ying Zheng, the two palace men secretly took note of Gu Xun's appearance and warned themselves not to provoke each other in the future.

Hmm...he looks so handsome, so conspicuous! Turn around and tell other people you love not to mess with this person.

Gu Xun ignored the secret moves of the two men and nodded happily, followed Ying Zheng and headed towards the dining room under the leadership of two palace servants.
