Chapter 706
"Daddy, why are you so angry? If you have something to say, talk it out, and see how it scares my mother."

"You talk to dad like that? Do you know why parents are arguing? Have you heard the cause and effect?" The second master Gu gave his daughter a sidelong glance, Gu Chan flinched in fright, and quickly slipped to her mother's side.

"I didn't hear the cause and effect, but don't be so loud, it would be embarrassing for the servants outside to hear it."

"Your mother has the face to accuse the eldest house of being unkind and sowing discord among relatives, how can I, the head of the family, say that?"

"Mother?!" Gu Chan was so choked that she had nothing to say, she hurriedly comforted her mother to divert everyone's attention, "Mother, we are all a family, so talk well if you have something to say, the eldest room didn't provoke us."

"I'm just complaining that your third brother didn't call you big brother when he was doing business. Look at the father and son, each of them refuted a bunch of words, as if our second room has to rely on the eldest room for a living all day long, for fear of offending the influence over there. to the future of their father and son."

"How dare you sow dissension and talk nonsense in front of your daughter? Just be happy if you make the house unruly during the Chinese New Year?" Second Master Gu slammed the table, stood up and reprimanded.

"Father! Calm down and calm down. There is nothing good to say when you are angry, so let's not say a few words." Gu Xu protected his father, and his sister protected his mother. Across the table, the family of four had a clear camp.

"Sooner or later, I'm going to be pissed off by your mother. The older I get, the more confused I become. I can force irrelevant things together. What's the matter with making trouble out of nothing?"

"Where did I make trouble? What's wrong with me saying a few words? It's obvious that they are not kind, so why did I wrong them!" Mrs. Gu got angry, slapped the table and yelled at her husband, all the servants in the room ran away, and the masters quarreled Since they couldn't persuade them, they could only hide.

"Mother, you should make it clear, how can the head room not be kind?" Gu Chan really didn't hear the cause and effect, so she naturally wanted to understand the reason for the quarrel.

"Why did you forget, what Tong Mingli and Liang Zhongshan mentioned earlier is that many cloth shops in Shangfang and Zhongfang have unified the installation of large mirrors! That Liang Zhongshan tried his best to boast that Gu Yun's business is big. Everyone in the capital knows that his workshop can make large mirrors, so wait for the order in the harem.”

"Arguing about this?"

"Before Gu Yun opened the workshop, he was also a young master who was obsessed with studying. How could he do business? But his business started smoothly. He did it so smoothly. Knowing that your elder brother is short of money all day long, he If you don't come to bring your elder brother to make money, this must be instigated by the eldest house. Could it be that when you get married in the future, our parents can't even afford a good dowry? The same dowry, tell me where to put my face!"

"Mother, let's not mention the dowry for the time being. I also think it's impossible to say that the eldest brother instigated the third brother not to help the eldest brother."

"You said that too?! My mother is all for you, and you hurt my mother's heart like this?!" Mrs. Gu's voice instantly rose, and it sounded harsh.

"Mother, you must have wronged the third brother about the business. Next year will be Chunwei. He thinks he doesn't have enough time to read every day. How can he have the energy to take care of the business? Bai Kou is busy. The third brother is just paying money." Boss, Bai Kou is the real shopkeeper who has the final say."

"That's right! How did I forget about that lowly maidservant, Bai Kou?!" Mrs. Gu was startled.

"What's the matter with Bai Kou again?!" The second master Gu is working outside and is not familiar with Bai Kou. He didn't respond to what his wife and daughter said, so Gu Xu jumped first.

"Why has nothing to do with Bai Kou? She is now the most capable person under the third brother, and the third brother will listen to what she says, who knows what she will say when they are together."

"Since you don't know anything, how dare you just make up things? Such a grown-up man, he has no brains at all?" Gu Xu severely reprimanded his sister.

"Why am I out of my mind? You should make it clear. Don't think I'm afraid of you just because you are the eldest brother. Be reasonable and stop swearing at others and look down on you."

"Bai Kou, a girl who doesn't know how to reach Ji but not Ji, how can she be Gu Yun's most capable person? Gu Yun doesn't know how to do business. She, a girl who has been serving Gu Yun since she was twelve or thirteen years old, can know more than Gu Yun." ? Gu Yun was busy taking the Chunwei exam, so he asked Bai Kou to come out to run errands for him. Do you really think that Bai Kou is qualified to go over Gu Yun and give orders directly? You still have the face to say that I have no brains, but you really have no brains!"

Gu Chan was dizzy from the scolding, and pursed her lips in disbelief.

"Brother, don't favor the third brother, I know that Bai Kou is called Shopkeeper Bai outside."

"Yes, Bai Kou is called Shopkeeper Bai outside, and then what? The shopkeeper corresponds to the owner. Can you tell me which shopkeeper can directly bypass the owner to arrange business arrangements and transfer money at will? Tell me which one is it? An instance like this? If something like this really happened, would the boss still be the boss?"

Gu Chan muttered a few times, but couldn't find anything to refute her elder brother, so she closed her mouth obediently.

"If you talk about Gu Yun, just talk about Gu Yun. What's the problem? Pull Bai Kou into the water, and still want to blame her? Use your brain to think about it? Don't say it's an official servant, even an ordinary servant. Dare to directly take charge of important matters for the master without saying hello."

"But the third brother will definitely listen to what Bai Kou says!" Gu Chan thinks this is very important.

"Then what do you mean to say that Gu Yun himself is a pig brain, he doesn't think on his own when things happen, he just knows to let his servants make up his mind? He was the third in Qiu Wei back then, and he made a big move with a golden light. He, an imperial merchant, is hard-pressed by the court. What was given to him was not something he won by himself, if he has a pig brain, then what kind of brain are you?"

Gu Chan was finally scolded and cried by Gu Xu, and wiped her tears next to her mother.

When Mrs. Gu saw her daughter crying, she was unhappy and stared at her husband and son.

"As long as you father and son are right, you are smart, our mother and daughter are all fools, we can only stir up discord, the long house is right in everything, and the long house is good in everything, that's it! Satisfied!"

"Where did the first room not do well? Can you tell me clearly? Where did you treat you badly? Withholding our second room's money or something? Talk about things if you have something to say, reason with reason, don't just talk nonsense about things without evidence, Gu Yun Why can't he be the master of his own business? As an imperial merchant, he still listens to his parents to teach him how to do business? He is an imperial merchant, remember this, he is responsible to the court and saints, and if he makes any mistakes, he will be punished. It's a political issue, not a business dispute, and their long house's interests have been damaged, so what's the benefit to our second house? Tell me, what's the benefit?"

"I……"

How could the Second Madam Gu say one, two, three, four? At first, she was just angry that Gu Yun had a chance to make a fortune but didn't call Gu Xu, but she didn't know that Gu Yun had long since annoyed him as a big brother, and Gu Jing's relationship with Gu Jing Feelings are even better.
