Peach Blossom at the Bottom of the Fan

Chapter 112 Accounting
The round fan did not reach He Yue in the end.

However, Gu Sixiao didn't know about this.As far as she is concerned, it doesn't matter whether the fan will fall into He Yue's hands or not, she is just fulfilling her promise.

Since the new girlfriend likes the fans she made, and she also likes making fans, why not do it?So, every other day, she sent fans to the magistrate's mansion. There were also round fans and folding fans, and each one was made with great care.

Several times in a row, Mrs. He looked at the fan in the box, her face turned pale, especially once when the prefect He returned to the back house, she happened to see a folding fan with a picture of ink and lotus, and praised the fan for being well done. When there was Gu's style, Mrs. He even trembled.

A man with a big heart may have long forgotten the past, but she couldn't.

Only a year and a half later, she can still clearly remember those few days, the turmoil in Songjiang Mansion, the gloom of her husband, the letter from Jingli, and the mysterious man in black who broke into the mansion in the middle of the night. Crying and begging in front of her, I also remember that there is nothing more mournful than the heartbroken Qiao Liu.

Although she didn't see the execution with her own eyes, on the night when she heard Gu Daguan being beheaded, she heard her husband's screams and screams in his nightmare.

Although he will recover in a few days, but she is seriously ill.

Whenever she thinks of those things, she now feels terrified.

Seeing these fans again, I really felt as if I saw a life-threatening talisman.

"Throw away all these fans to me! Throw them away! If that surnamed Gu comes again, I'll kick her out and stop her from sending things into the house..."

Screaming, Mrs. He's face turned pale, and she felt drenched in sweat.

She thought that if she was not allowed to be sent to the mansion, the matter would be over, but she didn't know that the news had changed through several people, and when it reached the door, it had already changed.

The fan that Gu Sixiao sent to the magistrate's mansion was never sent to Mrs. He, but Gu Sixiao was not allowed to take it back.

The old man at the door, as well as the mother guarding the second door, and perhaps others, just took the fan that Gu Sixiao sent.

This fine fan, whether you keep it for yourself or give it away, is not always a good thing.Moreover, even in this house, there are still many girls who are willing to spend more money than the stalls outside to buy this fan.

Within half a month, many girls in the prefect's mansion were holding the round fans that Gu Sixiao sent in.

At first, Mrs. He didn't notice it, but it was He Yue who was the first to look at a girl who was watching the tea stove on the porch, fanning the wind with a round fan in her hand.

"Ah, that round fan?" After calling the girl, He Yue was angry and annoyed.

Judging from the workmanship and style of painting, this fan is clearly made by that sister Gu.

This was a gift for her, yet this little girl took it and fanned her like crazy.

Her teeth itch with hatred in her heart, the always kind He Yue lost her temper and wanted to hit that girl with family law.

The matter escalated like this, and it was only when Madam He came to know that before she knew it, there were quite a few fans of the Gu family in the mansion.

Angry and hated, she yelled at He Yue for the first time: "What a broken fan, it's worth your thinking about it! Throw it away, throw it all out for me..."

He Yue cried out in fright, and was taken back to the room by the nanny.

Madam He was angry and furious, and spent the whole day investigating the matter of secretly leaving the fan. When she came back to herself the next morning and wanted to comfort her daughter, she discovered that He Yue had sneaked out of the house at some point.

After searching all over the house, they finally found a rag in the dog hole in the back wall, apparently He Yue got out of this hole.

Angry and afraid, Mrs. He went to ask someone to invite the magistrate back on the spot.

In just half a quarter of an hour, the guards of Jinan Mansion spread all over the streets and alleys.

A few fans caused such an incident, but Gu Sixiao didn't know it.

At this time, she was in the largest tea house "Yaming Zhai" in Jinan.

Today is Xue's accounting day.As I said before, Xue Wanhua brought Gu Sixiao and Xue Wanying to attend the accounting.

Xue Wanying can persist until the end of the month, not only Gu Sixiao is surprised, even Xue Wanhua smiled and said to Xue Wanying: "I didn't expect that our Yingying could persist until the end of the month. It seems that my sister really underestimated you before. Should."

"Didn't my sister just underestimate me! If I really want to do it, I can do it well. What's the big deal about being a buddy and learning how to do business? It's just that I don't like it..."

"Yes, our third lady is very powerful..." Xue Wanhua smiled while shaking her folding fan.

Gu Sixiao looked at Xue Wanying, and then looked out of the car.

On the carriage outside the carriage, Li Chongyang followed the carriage on a white horse, occasionally turning his head, showing a gentle smile.

Xue Wanhua didn't pay attention, but Gu Sixiao saw it clearly. Whenever Li Chongyang looked back and smiled, Xue Wanying would return a bright smile.

Let’s just say, this matter——it’s really…

It's not easy for Gu Sixiao to tell Xue Wanhua directly about this, so she can only keep her thoughts in her heart and pretend she doesn't know anything.

There are [-] Xue's silver houses, large and small, in Shandong.

Except for the three in Jinan Mansion, the other twelve are in major counties in Shandong.

Every month at the end of the month, the shopkeepers of each shop will gather in Jinan to report an account to the owner.

Since Xue Wanhua took over Xue Ji's business two years ago, Xue Wen hardly attended the accounts.

The shopkeepers are also accustomed to sitting at the top and listening to their accounts, which is the business of the young master.It's just that today, it seems to be a little different.

The one sitting at the top was still the young master disguised as a man, but behind her stood two young girls.

Those with sharp eyes recognized Xue Wanying.

Hey, that's San Niangzi!Which is the other one? !What's the matter, you brought the third lady to listen to the account?Could it be that the old boss changed his mind again and wanted the third lady to inherit the family business?there is another...

A well-informed person whispered: "That, is it the one whose boss is outside!"

"Well, it should be, it looks very different from the two ladies!"

"What kind of tongue is chewing? It's not born by the same mother, can it be the same?" After saying this, the "slap" gave himself a slap, "Look at my mouth, what nonsense are you talking about? Stop talking, Sit down, everyone! Once everyone is here, it will start soon..."

Those whispers were not really heard, but even if Gu Sixiao didn't listen, he knew what the shopkeepers were talking about.

Although they are all big men, sometimes these big men can't control their mouths just like the women in the market.

Fifteen shopkeepers entered the enclosed "Yaming Zhai", greeted and greeted, and they were in a mess for a quarter of an hour before they calmed down.

Xue Wanhua didn't deliberately restrain the crowd, but greeted this shopkeeper and chatted with that shopkeeper.

Either asking "How is auntie? How is your health?" or "Hey, I heard that your kid is getting married, so you have to let us know in advance, and we'll all go to the wedding."

With a gentle smile and a friendly tone, she doesn't look like an eighteen-year-old girl, but more like a businessman with long sleeves and a good dancer.

Cardamom Nianhua was supposed to be a married woman, act like a baby with Lang, and have fun with children, but Xue Wanhua had already faded away from the youthfulness of a girl, and became a real businessman.

Among them, I am afraid that there is a lot of bitterness, but I have never narrated it to others.

For the sake of the Xue family, she has already given up a lot, so how can she give in and retreat again? !

With that in mind, Gu Sixiao stole a look at Xue Wanying.

In the year of Jiji, if she doesn't inherit the family business and recruit a son-in-law to join in, then Xue Wanying will be engaged and ready to get married in at least one year.But, is she really willing to marry like that?
After all, it was all for that man!
After getting along more and more, she really regarded the Xue sisters as relatives, and because of this, she became more and more displeased with Li Chongyang.

He was staring at Li Chongyang, but suddenly heard Xue Wanhua calling her.

Gu Sixiao was slightly startled, but still stood up, "Young master?"

When I came here, I had already said that there are only masters and slaves here, and there are no sisters. Gu Sixiao didn't care, but Xue Wanying was a little unhappy.

"Hua'er, I just talked about the matter of exchanging the old for the new with the shopkeepers. You came up with this idea first. Come and talk to the shopkeepers in detail."

"I?!"

Looking around and being stared at by so many pairs of eyes, Gu Sixiao was inevitably a little timid.

Pushing her out suddenly was to show her face in front of the shopkeepers.

Xue Wanhua was really thinking of her, no matter how flustered she was, she could not retreat, and let down that heart.

After making up her mind, Gu Sixiao coughed lightly, lowered her eyes, took a deep breath, and then raised her head.

She didn't look at any of them, she said in a deep voice: "The young master's talking about the matter of exchanging the old for the new has to be talked about half a month ago..."

He told the story of the fat woman who was reluctant to part with the money that day, but finally happily traded the old for the new and bought new jewelry.

Gu Sixiao said in a deep voice: "My little girl selfishly thinks that there are women who are reluctant to part with money like that lady. Ordinary women are not like that big family. They have boxes of jewelry in their hands. They must be worn out. Find A craftsman with good craftsmanship can remelt the gold and make new jewelry. The women of ordinary families will wear a piece of jewelry for five or ten years. The luster is dim and the style is old, but they still can't bear to change it. So , the little girl thought, if Xueji Yinlou launched such a new business of exchanging old for new, many women from ordinary families would come to patronize and replace their old jewelry. Although this business is a bit fragmented, it can be profitable if you think about it Figure's

With reason and evidence, Gu Sixiao was relieved after finishing the matter according to his own thinking.

Looking away, seeing Xue Wanhua smiling at her, she couldn't help but smile too.

Just as he was about to turn away, someone suddenly said, "This--well, little lady, you said that there will be many women who will trade in the old for the new, and we will benefit from it. How do you know that those women don't think, ah, I'll take something If you want to exchange it, you have to pay more, wouldn’t it be a loss, and you won’t exchange it at all?”

Gu Sixiao looked intently, and saw that the shopkeeper who was speaking had a pair of thick eyebrows, which were rough, not like a shopkeeper but like a soldier.

She vaguely remembered Xue Wanhua calling him Shopkeeper Huang just now, as if he was from Qingshui County.

Arching her hands, she said with a smile, "Good question from shopkeeper Huang. It is true that this is not impossible, but let me say that shopkeeper Huang doesn't really understand women's minds. Indeed, if you want to exchange things for things, you have to do it again." Paying wages, in the eyes of a man, is a bit of a loss. But a woman, holding a dull old jewelry in her hand and looking at the shiny new jewelry in her eyes, who would think like Shopkeeper Huang? Used old jewelry It’s a good deal to replace the old jewelry that you feel ashamed of wearing out with the new jewelry that everyone praises, even if you pay some wages——I think that many women will think like me..."
