Chapter 711 money
"That's right. Seeing that this road is blocked, he wants to start a sales business." Gu Yun rubbed Bai Kou's face and kissed him.

"You still haven't agreed?"

"How could I agree? Now that our interests have been divided among the four parties, who would be willing to give up the benefits that can be expected in the future? Gu Xu can't afford to offend the three parties, Mrs. Gong, Gong Zhong and Gong Changji. Isn't he just I want to play the district family's idea."

"But you still persuaded him to change his mind?"

"Forget it. I said that the interests of our existing four parties cannot conflict. Gu Xu has to kill one party to join in. He can't even replace the Ou family's share. Although he is not reconciled, he has to admit the gap. I guess They have been able to calm down for a while in recent days, but they don’t know how long it will last.”

"Is this probably because someone made a request to Grandma Xu? Otherwise, she wouldn't know that there is already a business that requires continuous investment of a lot of money, and she must ensure that the existing business has enough cash flow. In addition, if you use the money to invest in a new business, if there is an accident in one of the links, it will be difficult to make up for the shortfall. The dowry given by her natal family is to protect her life, not to ruin her life like this."

"What does the matter of the second room have to do with us? On the Lantern Festival, please tell Princess Cheng a good word with my sister-in-law, and you can go to help me and find out what's going on."

"I should know why."

"Huh? You know? There's new gossip in the mansion?"

"Well, Tong Mingli and Liang Zhongshan came to pay New Year's greetings, and then it was rumored that Liang Zhongshan would try his best to find a good husband for Miss Fifth."

"Is there such a thing?! I haven't heard of it? What's the second room's attitude now?"

"I don't know the attitudes of the Second Master and Uncle Xu, but the Second Wife and the Fifth Miss are very tempted. The Second Wife has always wanted the Fifth Miss to marry high, and she has to work hard to surpass the Fourth Miss. If you want to marry high, you have to get a good dowry. The Second Wife definitely wants to prepare the best dowry for her daughter. The government’s subsidy has long been fixed, and the extra expenses will naturally have to be paid by the Second Household, but they have no money, so they can only use Grandma Xu’s idea? Uncle Xu came to you to discuss business with you tonight, and this is probably the follow-up action."

"When did you know?"

"I heard from the East Kitchen that after the second room changed their servants, their mouths became tighter. If it weren't for the three cooks from the second room in the East Kitchen, I wouldn't have heard this gossip. Zeng Zhu made up her mind to be loyal to Now that she's in the middle school, she doesn't want to lose her current status."

"Okay, tell Zeng Zhufang to be smart, and pay attention to any trivial gossip over there."

"Don't worry, the East Kitchen is just a place where gossip is transferred. When the cooks and cooks are working, it's not easy for the parents of the East and the West." Bai Kou giggled, and then remembered a new news, and his expression immediately restrained.

"What's wrong? What did you think of?"

"The second room seems to be more complicated than we thought."

"say clearly."

"Now that I think about it, Zeng Zhu and the two dowry cooks had a bit of a bad expression when they were gossiping, but I didn't go into it at the time. Combined with Master Xu's visit tonight, I faintly feel that their expressions at that time have already explained something happened."

"A dark hint?"

"Sometimes the subtle expressions on people's faces can reveal the truth. There is a bit of embarrassment under their embarrassing expressions. It is said that Miss Wu's dowry must be excellent. Grandma Xu will definitely add makeup to her as a sister-in-law."

"I want my sister-in-law to add makeup to Hao? Are you really thinking about her dowry? No wonder I felt weird when Gu Xu came to talk about it. I felt that this was not like a normal business plan, but a gambler. How dare you pay me back?" I really have to gamble, use my dowry as a bet, and get money to marry Gu Chan. What is the second wife thinking, what is the point of forcing my only daughter-in-law to this position?"

"If Shi Tianqi wasn't invited to the Shangyuan Festival banquet, I wouldn't be able to say a lot of things with her. Otherwise, I can invite Princess Cheng to have a good chat with Grandma Xu. With the strength of the Ning family, they might be able to help Grandma Xu out. Make an idea."

"This is a way, but I don't know if my sister-in-law is willing to put down her face and ask outsiders for help. The family ugliness must not be exposed."

"Well, if she doesn't open her mouth, others really have nothing to do. At most, when she can't bear it and is forced to take out the money, you must remember that the name on all contracts can only be written on her."

"This is as it should be. The owner and the shareholder are the ones who pay the money."

"Well, others can only help with this, the rest is up to Grandma Xu to make up her own mind."

Gu Yun nodded in agreement, put this topic aside, and turned to talk to Bai Kou about the command in the palace. Before the end of the month, a new mirror will be sent to the palace. It is not difficult to make a full-length mirror alone, but the pile of sketches drawn by Bai Kou earlier Obviously a lot of other things have been added.

Bai Kou told her thoughts truthfully, and the more Gu Yun listened to it, the more he found it interesting, and agreed to make a few samples for trial use, and then pick out the best ones and send them to the palace.

The two discussed it all night, and gave a lot of sketches again. The vague ideas in their minds gradually became concrete, and the structure was simple. In the limited time, the carpenters could make as many samples as possible.

Early the next morning, Gu Yun and Bai Kou went to the workshop together to issue this important errand, because it was mainly carpentry work. Apart from leaving a few pieces of flawless glass on the plate glass side, Gu Yun and Bai Kou directly Went to the carpentry workshop, showed the sketches to the carpenters, and they turned around to find suitable materials to make small models.

At the same time, the Second Master Gu went out to be a guest. Gu Xu conveyed to his mother the content of the conversation with Gu Yun last night. Hearing that Gu Yun said that all the properties under the Gan family did not have favorable conditions for cooperation, the second wife was very angry. It's a big deal to slap the table and scold Gu Yun, and stop paying attention to the elders if his waist is stiff.

Gu Xu was relieved, and asked his mother to scold Gu Yun to the fullest. After she had vented her anger enough, she would not be angry with her daughter-in-law, and their small family would have a peaceful life.

Although I feel sorry for Gu Yun, there is really no other way.

Hearing that her mother was losing her temper, Gu Chan hurriedly came over to comfort her, and complained to her brother, blaming him for not stopping her, and what to do if she got angry.

Gu Xu felt that the younger sister could not reason at all, so he walked away, sincerely hoping that she would get married as soon as possible, no matter who the future sister's wife chooses, as long as someone is willing to marry her, no dowry will be fine.

Gu Chan saw that her elder brother left just like that, and acted like a baby with her mother again. Mrs. Gu felt that her liver was hurting from anger, and she clutched her right abdomen and cried out in pain. Gu Chan hurriedly helped her mother to bed and gave her pills. .

Gu Xu went back to his room, teased the child, and after sending the wet nurse away, he complained to his wife, complaining that the mother was unreasonable.

Gan's soft words comforted her from the side, and the maids serving beside her silently wrote down that when they went to the East Kitchen, they caught Kong and whispered to Gan's dowry cook, and the second room was now at odds with each other. The atmosphere of being a servant is sad.

Gan's cook, after hearing the bad news, chatted with Lu Doudou and the others during the break, and the gossip fell into the ears of the three of them. It happened that Xiao Yezi went to the East Kitchen to get broth in the afternoon, and Lu Doudou and the others I took the opportunity to tell her.

When Gu Yun and Bai Kou came back in the evening, Xiao Ye Zi followed into Bai Kou's room.

After about a stick of incense, Gu Yun finished washing his hands and changing his clothes, and went to rest in the ear room. Bai Kou came in to convey the latest gossip, and Gu Yun was very happy after hearing it.

"I thought Gu Xu would be considerate of others, but it turned out to be the same, last time he tricked you, this time he tricked me."
