On her wedding night, she went into exile with her pharmacy arsenal
Chapter 1231 Positioning
Yan Ruyu turned around and went to a private room to answer the call from the abbot.
"what happened?"
The abbot's voice was filled with joy and undisguised pride: "Ruyu, are you still with Army Doctor Cao?"
"Yes, you want to come over now?"
"No, I'm waiting for the new dim sum to come out of the oven. Madam Rong told me that it will be out in about ten minutes. Freshly made dim sum must be delicious. I'll wait and eat them before leaving."
"I just want to ask you if you are still with Doctor Cao. Guess how I know?"
Yan Ruyu sensed his pride and thought it was not that simple, so she asked, "How did you know?"
"Haha!" The abbot laughed loudly, "I can see your location on the map."
Yan Ruyu couldn't help but be surprised: "Location?"
"That's right. There's a little red dot on the map, showing it as Doctor Cao's pharmacy. Who else could it be but you?"
Yan Ruyu's heart was pounding, this was too outrageous.
"Don't move for a while. I'll come find you. Check to see if the location displayed is following up in real time."
"OK, no problem."
Yan Ruyu asked again: "Besides me, is there anyone else with a position?"
"No," the abbot said with a little regret, "Maybe we both have space? Or are we both souls that traveled through time and space?"
Yan Ruyu couldn't figure it out for a moment. She had never heard her grandfather talk about it before, so she also needed to explore it.
"That's not bad. If there's anything important in the future, we can split up into two groups. You can see my location and we can talk to each other, which is already a sure win."
"Yes, yes," the abbot said happily, "I'll wait for you then. You'd better come quickly. The new dim sum is out of the oven and it's delicious."
After hanging up, Yan Ruyu let out a sigh of relief. Good news always makes people happy.
Things are generally moving in the right direction.
After coming out and chatting with Military Doctor Cao for a few more words, Yan Ruyu suggested going to the dim sum shop to find the abbot.
Doctor Cao took out two cans of freshly made large hawthorn honey pills and gave them to her: "One for you, and one for the monk. Last time he said he had stomach discomfort, and I gave it to him once, and he quite liked it. This time I added honey, so it tastes better."
"Okay," Yan Ruyu accepted it happily.
The carriage was taken away by the abbot, and Yan Ruyu did not hire a carriage and simply walked.
The heavy snow has stopped and all the shops are busy clearing the snow. The scene is lively and peaceful.
The sky cleared up slightly, and the snow hung on the branches and eaves, shining brightly.
Yan Ruyu took a deep breath, and her heart and lungs were filled with a fresh smell.
When she reached the intersection, Huo Changxu's shop was over there. She hadn't been there for a few days, so she stopped by to take a look.
Huo Changxu was leading people to clear the snow in front. He came early today, took off his coat, held a broom, and joined everyone without any airs.
Yan Ruyu stood not far away and watched him. He had grown stronger, and his arms waving the broom were very powerful. He was no longer the frail young master when he first started out.
Thinking back to the time when Huo Changxu was targeting me everywhere, it seems like a lifetime ago. He was so annoying back then, but thinking back on it now, it’s quite funny.
Huo Changxu turned around and saw her, surprised and respectful: "Sister-in-law! Why are you here?"
"Come on, sit in the store."
Yan Ruyu followed him into the store. The unique fragrance of books and paper lingered in the air. The bookcases were full, and there were also a few square tables and benches. There was tea on the tables and thick cushions on the benches.
A few people were sitting there reading, concentrating seriously without raising their heads.
Huo Changxu led her to the small courtyard at the back, poured tea and water, and made the brazier burn brighter.
"What do those people in front do?"
Huo Changxu was a little embarrassed, his face slightly flushed: "Sister-in-law, I haven't had time to tell you about this. I put the table and benches in two days ago, thinking of giving it a try. I'll tell you after it stabilizes."
"It's okay, just say it."
"It's like this, I found that many people like to read books, but they don't have money to buy them, so..."
Yan Ruyu understood instantly.
Sip the tea slowly and listen to Huo Changxu finish speaking.
"This is a good thing," Yan Ruyu said with a smile, "I'm very happy that you can see this."
A look of joy flashed in Huo Changxu's eyes and he breathed a sigh of relief.
"However, this does have some disadvantages and will cause some bad experiences for people who come to buy books."
"How about this, I remember there is a utility room on the second floor?"
"Yes," Huo Changxu nodded, "I was originally planning to put books here, but few people come here to read, and the books are very heavy, so it's not convenient to move them up and down, so I put it aside for now."
"Then you can make use of it," Yan Ruyu gave him some advice. "You can rent books and read them in the room on the second floor, or you can apply for a card. For example, you can borrow a certain number of books per month for a certain amount of money. You can decide the rules based on your own considerations."
Huo Changxu's eyes lit up: "This is a great idea."
"I didn't come up with the idea of renting books. I heard the owner of Qian's Bookstore mention it before. You can divide it into smaller parts so that you can take care of those poor people while not affecting other Gu families."
Huo Changxu was ashamed: "Yes, I was too arrogant before and didn't know there was such a thing as renting books. Now that I have the ability, I want to do more for poor readers."
"Your intention is good, but you should not be too kind," Yan Ruyu warned. "Some people become scumbags after reading books. Kindness is not something you can give without restraint."
"When you help them, you should ask for appropriate compensation, even if it means asking them to help copy books, tidy up bookshelves, write letters for others, etc."
Huo Changxu is a smart man, and Yan Ruyu knows when to stop.
"Yes, Changxu will learn from you. Thank you for your guidance, sister-in-law."
Yan Ruyu finished her tea, stood up and said, "Then I'll leave first. I don't have anything to do. I just stopped by to take a look."
"This shop is handed over to you. You are fully authorized to handle it. You don't have to think about reporting to me about everything."
"Yes."
Yan Ruyu walked out and met the great scholar head-on.
The scholar was also wearing the clothes of a waiter, and he looked very happy: "Princess! Why are you here? Are you here to get some paper? I'll carry it for you!"
Yan Ruyu hadn't seen him for some time. Although he lived not far from the abbot, ever since he came to Huo Changxu's shop, he always went out early and left late, and his life was full and busy, so it was rare to meet him.
"No, I just stopped by to take a look."
Huo Changxu said at the side: "Sister-in-law, the Confucian scholars are now very good at printing with movable type, and they can print very quickly."
The scholar smiled shyly: "I don't have any other skills, I am very satisfied to be able to help the second young master."
"Then do it well, the Second Young Master will not treat you unfairly."
"Yes."
Yan Ruyu left the bookstore and went to the dim sum shop to meet the abbot.
The abbot was still in the backyard. In front of him were several plates filled with freshly baked snacks. He was eating slowly with his eyes squinting.
Seeing Yan Ruyu coming, Madam Rong came over to pay her respects and report the situation.
The dim sum shop has become famous during this period, and business is getting better and better. It has received large orders from several companies.
After Yan Ruyu heard what she said, she turned around and looked at the abbot's smiling eyes.
