Chapter 1031 Bai Kou is not easy

Shi Tianmin didn't expect Gu Yun to admit it so frankly, but he also saw Gu Yun's affection for Bai Kou, and was a little envious for a while. He is now a widow, and he doesn't know when he will get married.

"The two of you can keep your mouths secret. I was really shocked. I never thought that you two would have such a thing."

"It's right if you haven't thought about it, I just don't want you to guess."

"why?"

"Girls are thin-skinned. Bai Kou will beat people up when she is ashamed. Her hands are so strong. I think when she was still in Yachifang, she once beat the little gangster with an iron pot. Your small body can't withstand a few heavy punches from her."

"Then what's the situation now? Have the two sides talked about it?"

"No."

"Bai Kou refuses?"

"Anyway, I haven't agreed yet."

"Why?!" Shi Tianmin was surprised.

"I don't know. She seems to have other ideas, but she won't tell me. I've been extremely busy these days. Except for the day when the results were released, I haven't seen her until now."

"Then what's your attitude?"

"It has nothing to do with my family. It doesn't matter who I marry."

"Ah?! Can it still be like this?!"

"Because I got the first prize, and I'm not short of money. My family can't restrain me. I choose my wife myself."

"So you just don't want to marry her?"

"That's right!" Gu Yun gave another smirk.

"And Bai Kou is still considering whether to marry you?"

"probably."

"You two are so funny."

"Oh, now the initiative is in Bai Kou's hands, so I can only wait."

"Don't be afraid, she should agree."

"why?"

"Because this is the sage's golden words, no one has the right to refuse. There are many people who want to marry Bai Kou, and there are many people with the same power as Ye Guogong's mansion. Bai Kou is not ugly. It has been a difficult journey along the way. It has given her the quality of perseverance and unique charm, which is different from the temperament of the spoiled ladies. Marrying her can be said to be a blessing in disguise. Why is there no force until now that has been able to force the marriage to succeed, except for you big and small shareholders? Besides being a backer, the biggest reason is that she is backed by a saint, and now that the saint has spoken, she has no choice, don't worry, she will marry you."

Shi Tianmin picked up his wine glass and took a sip. He couldn't help but think of the past of the Bai family's downfall. It was about nine years ago. At that time, he himself was under 15 years old. I only know the final result, Wang Xiaodong replaced Bai Yehong as the new head chef, and the royal kitchen was completely under the control of his grandmother. Those years were also the years when the power of the family developed the fastest, but now it's all gone.

"Officials and servants are good, Bai Kou is really good."

"That's right, without her, I don't have the property I have now. She will be the best young lady in Duke Ye's mansion. No woman can compare to her!" Gu Yun shook his feet triumphantly, but Bai Kou was thinking in his heart. The trump card that he told him before was that a man who dared to force a marriage, even if he really married her, she would still have the means and ability to become a widow within a month.

Bai Kou has long been prepared to be forced into marriage, but fortunately no one has succeeded so far.

The two had a hearty meal, and after leaving the banquet, drank a jug of wine to relieve their drunkenness, and parted ways to go home.

When Shi Tianqi heard that her brother was back, she immediately ran to his room excitedly to inquire about Gu Yun's situation. She is now a widow and has lost the qualification to be close to Gu Yun, but she is also very happy to hear about his latest situation.

"Brother, what did you and Gu Yun talk about today?"

"Talking about business, what else can we talk about?" Shi Tianmin knew Shi Tianqi's feelings for Gu Yun, and every time his sister asked about Gu Yun, he felt sorry for his sister.

"Just talk about business?"

"We're really talking about business. Gu Yun wants the batch of ore dyes produced. The textile factory is in need of dyes for yarn-dyed fabric experiments."

"Yye-dyed fabric?"

"It is to dye the yarn first and then weave the fabric. The yarn dyeing process is more complicated than the cloth dyeing process. Now a large amount of dye is needed for the workers to practice their skills. When the factory opens, the yarn-dyed fabric will be the main business, and we will not steal the livelihood of those weavers."

"When the factory opens, a lot of raw materials are eaten, and the price of raw materials rises, it will still kill the weavers."

"Well, the power of the textile industry in the capital is about to change. The imperial court will definitely support Gu Yun and the Ning family. The production capacity of the textile factory must squeeze out several powerful textile merchants and eat up their share of raw materials..." Shi Tianmin Eyes lit up, "This is our chance! After the reshuffle, those old textile merchants will spit out a large number of weavers in their hands. We can keep it in our hands, and it will not conflict with the main business of the textile factory!"

"Yes! They make yarn-dyed fabrics, we make dyed fabrics, no conflict!" Shi Tianqi clapped his hands and applauded, "That's it! Let's prepare the money first, and then wait for the opportunity!"

"That batch of dye is sent to the farm as soon as possible, and they are ready, so we can follow behind and make money."

"Okay, I'll go and order!"

Shi Tianqi turned around to leave, but suddenly stopped and turned around.

"What's wrong? Forgot something important?"

"Brother, there are rumors about Gu Yun and Bai Kou, you..."

"Oh, that's it, we're talking." Shi Tianmin looked indifferent, "Gu Yun said that he will not marry Bai Kou."

"What about Bai Kou?!"

"She is also sure that he will not marry."

"Really?"

"Of course, she has no choice. The sage's golden words cannot allow her to refuse. A woman with outstanding abilities like her is the focus of competition among various forces. Fortunately, Bai Kou's power is not small here. A group of young masters and brothers are doing business together. Outsiders Forcibly marrying Bai Kou is to cut off their financial resources. They are all from the circle of the capital. How can they do the matter of enmity? Bai Kou has been walking a tightrope, seeking a balance between all parties. The sage broke the balance with one word, but who would have thought that Gu Yun would pass the exam? It is indisputable that Bai Kou will marry him after winning the first prize. Besides, the two of them have been together for so many years and have a perfect understanding, and it is a match made in heaven."

"Her grandfather Bai Yehong's family is a prisoner. She is a family member of a criminal. She is a sinner. The servants are good because they are pardoned. In essence, she is still a sinner. Will Duke Ye's government want such a young lady? Does the family not object?" When Shi Tianqi heard that Gu Yun might marry Bai Kou, her heart was on fire.

"Gu Yun is the eldest son. His young wife decides for himself. The Duke of Ye has no objection. Most likely Bai Kou will be happy to marry him. As for the other tribesmen, they have developed on their own in the past hundred years. Gu Yun won the first prize, Ye The Duke’s Mansion can prosper for another hundred years, marry a young lady who is backed by a saint and can make money, and the family property can also be greatly expanded. For the people of the clan, which is not a good thing?"

"how come……?!"

Shi Tianqi's face was pale, he took two steps back, and walked away angrily.
