The Rebirth of Space: the Lucky Girl From a Farm Family

Chapter 180 is about interests

Gu Huayu nodded, "Yes, Qianzhuang. My ancestors started their business by running a wine shop and a Qianzhuang. I will start from the Qianzhuang and get back the things that belong to the Hua family."

  Lu Ziqin asked: “What do you need me to do?”

 Gu Huayu shook her head, "No need for now. If I encounter trouble in the future, I will definitely ask you for help."

"If you need me, just drop me a letter at Qing Keju, where I'm going today." Lu Ziqin explained.

Gu Huayu responded: "Okay."

On the other side, Ye Minghao was riding a horse and walking next to Miss Shi San's carriage.

He said sourly: "I'm satisfied today. I saw Qingyan and had dinner together.

However, you are too hopeless. You only want to be with Qingyan. When you see Qingyan, you don’t even dare to look at him. "

Shi Yamei was upset. Ye Minghao talked about her, which made her mood even more irritable.

So he said: "I'm just hopeless. What's wrong? Do you care?"

When Ye Minghao saw Shi Yamei getting angry, he thought that Shi Yamei was thinking about Lu Ziqin, and felt uncomfortable again.

"Yes, who am I? What does your business have to do with me? It's me who is meddling in other people's business! The Shi Mansion is not far ahead. Go back by yourself. I'm leaving."

 After saying that, Ye Minghao turned his horse's head and rode away.

"You..." Miss Shi San opened the curtain and watched Ye Minghao leave on horseback.

Miss Shi San shouted at Ye Minghao’s back: “Ye Minghao, you bastard!”

Ye Minghao didn't stop when he heard Miss Shi San's voice. Instead, he gave the horse a whip, and the horse ran faster.

Shi Yamei looked at Ye Minghao walking away, stamped his feet and cursed: "Asshole!"

Gu Huayu returned home and took ten bottles of Wangyou and fifteen bottles of Nuanyang from the space, and packed them in exquisite boxes.

 Leave a message to Luo Haoran and ask him to prepare another thousand perfume bottles for himself and put the equivalent amount of elixirs into the grid.

Sometimes, she felt like a second-hand dealer who passed on the elixirs prepared by Qin Feng to A Tong and Luo Haoran, and then exchanged them for what she wanted.

 The next morning, Gu Huayu handed Xianglu to Qingyu and asked him to deliver it to Shi Mansion and Chengguo Mansion.

“Xiaoyu, didn’t you go shopping yesterday? Why did you sell so much fragrance?”

Gu Chengjuan asked.

Gu Huayu said with a smile: "Of course you can do business anytime and anywhere. When you open your mouth, you open a store. Wherever you go, business will be done. Have you learned?"

After saying that, Gu Huayu reminded Qing Yu, "Remember the cashier, a bottle of Nuanyang costs ninety taels of silver, and a bottle of Wangyou costs sixty-eight taels. Shi Mansion has seven bottles of Nuanyang and two bottles of Wangyou, a total of seven hundred and sixty-six Two taels of silver. Two bottles of warm sun from Chengguo's mansion, one hundred and eighty taels of silver."

Gu Chengjuan's eyes were as wide as copper bells and she asked in surprise: "How many bottles?"

Gu Huayu replied: "Ninety-two taels per bottle of Nuanyang, and sixty-eight taels per bottle of Wangyou."

Gu Chengjuan asked in disbelief: "Xiaoyu, are you sure someone can afford it? It's so expensive, can we sell it?"

Gu Huayu pointed at the scented dew on Qingyu's hand and raised her chin, "As you saw, I sold eleven bottles. So, your worries are unnecessary."

Gu Chengjuan was speechless, but she still couldn't believe it in her heart. For ninety taels of silver, she could buy a bottle of fragrant dew, and for ninety taels of silver, she could build a house in her hometown.

 Gu Huayu could see Gu Chengjuan's thoughts. If she didn't get her thoughts straightened out, Gu Chengjuan would probably never dare to buy fragrance dew again.

“You only saw me selling a bottle of fragrant dew to someone for ninety taels of silver.

 Do you know how difficult these fragrances are to make? Let’s just say that Wangyou has agarwood essential oil added to it. Do you know that it takes twenty kilograms of agarwood to get two coins of essential oil? Do you know how much a kilogram of agarwood costs? Um? "

Gu Chengjuan has been making fragrant dew with Gu Huayu for several years, so she naturally knows the price of agarwood.

Gu Chengjuan held Wangyou in her hand and asked, "Agarwood essential oil is added to this?"

Gu Huayu asked: "Did you not read the prescription I gave you?"

Gu Chengjuan shook her head, "I wanted to see it. At first, Shi Niang asked me to try on clothes, and later, Aunt Wang asked me to see the shop. I was very tired when I came back, so I fell asleep."

Gu Huayu asked: "Where is the shop? Is the location good?"

Gu Chengjuan responded: "It's not far from Xuande Building on Cross Street. It's in a good location and has a lot of people. But the rent is too high. It costs 13,000 yuan per month."

 “The rent is 13,000? How much?” Gu Huayu asked.

Gu Chengjuan looked at the house and said: "There are two doors. When you enter, there are three rooms as big as two floors above and below. It turns out to be a teahouse."

Gu Huayu asked: "Where is Uncle Hua? Have you gone out or are you at home?"

 Landong replied: "Miss, Uncle Hua and Aunt Wang went out early in the morning, and Su Er is in the house."

Gu Huayu said: "Let Su Er come over."

Lonicera retreated, and after a while, Su Er followed Lonicera over.

After Su Er saw the gift, Gu Huayu explained: "Go to the shop on Cross Street and contact the landlord to ask if he is willing to sell the shop. If the landlord is willing, we will buy the shop."

Su Er was ordered to retreat.

Gu Chengjuan asked: "Xiaoyu, how much money will it cost to buy the shop?"

Gu Huayu glanced at Gu Chengjuan and said, "You don't have to worry about the money. You take care of the quality of the fragrance. You have to work hard for a while before eldest sister comes back."

Gu Chengjuan smiled and said, "What's the trouble for me? You've taken care of all the worries. What I did was just small things, nothing hard. I've had breakfast and went to work. You hurry up and have breakfast." "

With that said, Gu Chengjuan got up and walked out.

Gu Huayu stood up to see her off, but Gu Chengjuan quickly stopped her, "Come on, go have breakfast quickly."

Gu Huayu smiled and said, "I'll send it to the door."

Sent Gu Chengjuan to the door and turned around, Gu Huayu saw Gu Chengliang reading in the pavilion and thought of inviting him as a husband, so she walked towards Gu Chengliang.

Gu Chengliang saw Gu Huayu coming over and asked with a smile: "Xiaoyu is up?"

Gu Huayu nodded, "Brother, give me a few of the articles you wrote."

"What? Sir, do you want to see it?" Gu Chengliang asked.

Gu Huayu nodded, "Well, you can choose three articles and send them over."

Gu Chengliang was worried and said hesitantly: "Xiaoyu, what if Mr. is not satisfied?"

 “Are you nervous?” Gu Huayu asked.

Gu Chengliang nodded honestly, "I'm a little nervous. There are talented people from all over the world gathered in the capital. I'm afraid that I won't be as good as others and I'm afraid of being embarrassed."

 Gu Huayu smiled and comforted: "You have to have confidence, you were taught by my father step by step. My father was the Jieyuan of Jiangnan East Road at the time. If there was no accident back then, my father would definitely be on the gold medal list."

Gu Chengliang exhaled heavily and whispered: "I'm just afraid of embarrassing my father."

Gu Huayu said: "Don't think too much. The teacher is reading your article because he wants to know what level you have learned, so that he can teach you according to others."

Gu Chengliang breathed a sigh of relief.

Gu Huayu continued to comfort her: "Don't be too stressed. You are already doing well. Hurry up and select a few articles. They will be sent to others later."

She is not good at comforting people and can only give a few words of dry advice.

"Okay, I'll go get it now and deliver it to you later." Gu Chengliang picked up the book and went to the study room.

 When Gu Huayu returned to the house, Shi Niang had already asked people to put the food on the table.

 Gu Huayu sat down to have breakfast. Seeing Shi Niang looking restless beside her, she put down her chopsticks and asked, "What? Is something wrong?"

Shi Niang leaned forward and said, "Miss, I have to leave for two days to do some errands. I will be back in two days."

Gu Huayu nodded, "Okay, I understand. Are you going out today? If you need money, go to the accounting office to pay it."

Shi Niang leaned forward and said, "Thank you, Miss, I have some money. I'll leave everything in the house to Mother Liu and Lonicera."

Gu Huayu nodded, "Well, go with peace of mind and come back early after finishing your work. Uncle Hua told me yesterday that we need to buy some more people back, and then I want you to teach them the rules."

Shi Niang bowed and said, "Okay, I'll be back after I finish my work."

 After sending Shi Niang away, Gu Huayu fell into deep thought.

 Shi Niang came from Shicheng, and this was the first time she asked for leave.

 She always knew that Shi Niang was a person with stories, but she never asked her about her past. Just like Shi Niang knows that she is not innocent, she does not inquire into her past.

They knew each other well, but no one broke the window.

“Xiaoyu, I picked three articles, do you think they are okay?” Gu Chengliang came in with the articles.

Gu Huayu took it, looked at it, and nodded, "It's very good. I'll have someone send it over soon."

"Okay, then you can eat, I'm going to read a book." Gu Chengliang said, preparing to walk out.

Gu Huayu quickly stopped him, "Brother, wait a minute."

Gu Chengliang stopped and asked, "What's the matter?"

Gu Huayu said: "Don't stay in the room reading all day long, take Da Zhuang out for a walk."

 “Shopping? That wastes so much time.” Gu Chengliang replied.

Gu Huayu patiently explained: "Brother, you have to combine work and rest when studying."

 Gu Chengliang understood what Gu Huayu meant, so he said: "Xiaoyu, you don't have to worry about me, I'm not the kind of person who studies hard. If a person wants to achieve something, he must either be gifted or God will reward his hard work.

I am not a person with extraordinary talents. If I don’t receive God’s help for my hard work, I will definitely do nothing in this life. I don’t want to live my life in a mediocre way. "

“Okay, go read a book, you are already doing well, don’t put too much pressure on yourself.”

Gu Huayu had breakfast and asked Gu Chengliang's article to be sent to Qing Keju and handed over to Lu Ziqin.

She waved her hands and went out. She wanted to go to the west of the city today.

In the British Duke's Mansion, Shuying Garden, Lu Ziqin was leaning in a chair, listening to Rumo's report.

“In the days since I left Beijing, when my wife was in her filial piety period, things were going well in the house, and the old lady and the second lady rarely lost their temper.

When the old lady learned that her uncle and the others had not returned to the capital except for their obedience, but that you had not come back, the old lady was furious in the mansion and even sent someone to Chengguo's mansion to invite her back.

The madam said that she had caught a cold and was afraid that the old lady would get sick, so she did not return.

 The old lady was so angry that she smashed the Rongan Hall all over.

　　After that, the old lady sent people to the Duke Chengguo's Mansion to invite her several times, but she always put her off.

 The old lady complained to Concubine De. Concubine De invited her to come into the palace to talk and lectured her for more than an hour.

 After the emperor found out, he banned Concubine De for a month. He also asked Eunuch Gao to go to Chengguo's mansion to apologize to his wife.

 After that, the old lady calmed down. "

 Ruji continued: "Fortunately, the emperor took action, otherwise, I don't know how many things would have happened."

 Ru'an asked: "The uncle married Zhu Shangshu's eldest daughter?"

Rumo nodded, "Yes, not long after I left Beijing, the second lady personally went to Shi Shangshu's house to find out. She wanted to help the uncle marry Miss Shi San, but Mrs. Ping refused.

Later, the second lady went to the house of Zhu Changyi, the Minister of Household Affairs, to ask for the marriage of the eldest daughter of the Zhu family. I don’t know what Zhu Shangshu thought, but he actually fell in love with the uncle.

 The year before last, the uncle married Zhu Yihua, the eldest daughter of the Zhu family, and the Zhu and Lu families became a couple with two surnames. "

Ruxuan asked: "There is nothing unreasonable. The marriage is just about interests. Is the uncle broken with that green light?"

Ru Yan shook his head, "No, the uncle will secretly go to Tianshui Lane to have a tryst with Lu Guang every few days. By the way, the year before last, Lu Guang gave birth to a son. I don't know whether the child is the second master's or the uncle's."

 Ruxuan sighed and shook his head: "What is all this?"

 Lv Ziqin asked expressionlessly: "Lv Zixun married Li's niece?"

Ru Yan replied: "The Duke wanted to send the second master to the military camp, but the second wife thought the life in the military camp was hard and was reluctant to let the second master go, and the second master himself was unwilling to go.

The second master deliberately fell off his horse while outing with several young men in the capital.

 The second wife bribed the doctor and said that the second master had injured his bones. The second master lay in bed for half a year, and the matter of going to the military camp was dropped.

During the days when the second master was in the house, the second wife’s niece often came to the house, and she and the second master became in love, and later got married. "

Lu Ziqin asked: "He is working in Taipu Temple now?"

　　Ru Ji bowed and said: "Yes, the second master has found a job for the second master at Taipu Temple. It seems that he is still a fat servant, in charge of the purchase of horses.

 The second master is now close to Wanchangquan and Wanchanghui of Wanfu. Wanchangquan is fond of gambling, and Wanchanghui is fond of women. "

Lu Ziqin said: "Keep an eye on the uncle, and when he has a tryst with Green Light, pass the news to the second master and Aunt Zhu. Do you know how to deliver the news?"

Ru Yan responded with a smile: "I know, I know. Tell the second master that Lu Guang has a secret meeting with a wild man, and tell Aunt Zhu that the uncle has raised a foreign wife, and the foreign wife has given birth to a son. If you want to make more noise, it's best to be full of people." The kind that everyone in the city knows.”

Lu Ziqin nodded, turned to Ru'an and said, "Let people keep an eye on Lu Zixun and see which gambling house he often goes to?"

 “The little one understands.”

Dayong knocked on the door and came in, "Sir, I handed it over from Qing Keju."

Lu Ziqin took it and took a look at it. When he saw that it was Gu Chengliang's article, he said, "Ruxuan stays here, and the rest can go and do their own work."

 The others retreated. Lu Ziqin opened Gu Chengliang's article and lowered his head to read.

Waiter Ruxuan was standing by the side. After a while, he saw Lu Ziqin reaching out to hold the cup. He hurriedly stepped forward and handed the cup to Lu Ziqin's hand.

After Lu Ziqin finished reading the three articles, he said to Ruxuan: "Go and prepare your horses. Let's go find Scholar Yang."

Ruxuan asked in surprise: "Do you want Gu Qiye to become a disciple of Grand Scholar Yang?"

Lv Ziqin nodded, "Brother Liang's article is well written. It can be seen that he is a diligent child. Academician Yang likes diligent and motivated people best. I'm going to change my clothes. By the way, I'll bring two jars of bamboo leaves and green leaves."

“Okay, I understand, little one.” Ruxuan bowed in response.

Just when Lu Ziqin came out of the gate of Shuyingyuan, he saw Du Bin coming towards him. He bowed and said politely: "Uncle Du."
