Gu Zhirong saw that he couldn't solve the problem for a while, so he said, "Uncle Wang, let's go to the tea shop opposite for the time being, and see the situation before making plans." ”

Uncle Wang responded, went to the tea shop opposite and chose a room on the second floor of the "Tianjinxiu" silk village, opened the window, and the noise outside came in instantly, and it was really clear to hear it.

The shopkeeper quickly made tea and came up, as well as snacks. Gu Zhirong leaned out of the window and looked down, and saw that the crowd below had not decreased, but had come out a lot. Among them, there were a few young people who looked like they were about eighteen or nineteen years old, and they spoke inflammatory words that aroused the indignation of the crowd, and needless to say, some of them who could not bid were invited to express their dissatisfaction.

Gu Zhirong took a sip of tea and ate another piece of fashionable osmanthus cake. At this time, a carriage came in a hurry, stopped the carriage at the "Tianjinxiu" silk village, and then the driver took off the stool on the carriage and walked down from the carriage while supporting a pot-bellied man.

Uncle Wang has been running a pharmacy in the capital for many years, and he is very familiar with the businessmen in the capital, and he can recognize who he is at a glance, and said in a low voice: "Miss, this person is the head of the Beijing Chamber of Commerce, called Liang Dacheng, this person has been in business for generations, and has dealings with various officials in the capital, and has great influence, so he was elected as the president of the Chamber of Commerce." ”

Gu Zhirong nodded: "I didn't expect that the eldest lady's face was so big, and even such a figure was invited to speak for her." ”

Uncle Wang said with a smile: "If this person is looking at the face of the eldest lady, it is better to say that he is looking at the face of the eldest lady's brother, the face of General Chen Bing, the prince of Zhenguo." Don't think that Zhenguo Gong is at the border. I can't control the affairs of the capital. In fact, Zhen Guogong has been planning to return to Beijing all these years, and I heard that several farms in the north of the city have been bought by him. Maybe in a year and a half, his family will move back to the capital first. ”

Gu Zhirong said secretly, this Zhenguo Gong's hand is really long enough. If the eldest lady really gets the help of this brother who is in a high position, will she still have a way to live? When they were nine years old, they all joined forces to put themselves to death, so no matter what, Zhen Guogong and the eldest lady must not be allowed to unite, at least. It is necessary to break up the alliance between them.

In the carriage downstairs, suddenly another man came down, and this person was as tall and thin as a hemp pole. It's as if the wind blows and falls. The robe he was wearing was also very loose, presumably this person didn't pay much attention to the trim on weekdays. He seemed a little frightened, and followed closely behind Dye Dacheng.

Uncle Wang frowned and thought about it. Fang Dao: "Isn't this person Dua Niu from Du Laozhuang in the north of the city." Why is he here? Still following Liang Dacheng, what are you doing?"

Gu Zhirong had a clear look on his face: "If I hadn't miscalculated, the eldest lady would have given the shop to this Dua cow." ”

Uncle Wang was stunned and said: "Impossible, right? This Dua cow turned out to be just a fat gouache seller, carrying a shelf, tying two baskets, full of two baskets of cheap fat gouache, specializing in the business of those daughters-in-law and mothers-in-law in the countryside. Later, I got older. I couldn't stand the toss, so I rented a small shop. Settle down. ”

He was puzzled: "What is this Dua Niu going to do if he wants such a big shop? If he goes back to his old job, he doesn't need such a big place." If he changes his career to making silk, how can he be a layman?"

Gu Zhirong asked, "Could it be that he will take down the shop first, and then sublease it to other people, and eat the rent himself?"

Uncle Wang thought for a while and said, "It's also possible to say this. I just heard the news that the inquiry came back, saying that after this Dua cow took down this shop, the original shop was not closed, and it was still open. ”

Gu Zhirong frowned and said, "This is a bit unreasonable. Suddenly, she thought of something and opened her mouth, "Could it be ......?"

Uncle Wang looked at her with a sudden expression: "What did Miss think?"

Gu Zhirong shook his head slightly, but this thought became stronger and stronger in his heart. The eldest lady really shouldn't be inferred from the mentality of ordinary people, if you speculate from another angle, this matter is logical.

"Let's see. Gu Zhirong said as he poked his head out of the window. She wanted to see how the eldest lady "plated" this shop to Dua Niu.

Downstairs, Liang Dacheng pushed through the crowd, squeezed in, stood at the front of the shop, turned around, faced the public, and inspected everyone.

Seeing Liang Dacheng's confident appearance, Du Aniu's courage also increased, straightened his waist, walked to the crowd, and said in a loud voice: "Everyone, don't be impatient, this is Liang Dacheng, the chairman of the Beijing Chamber of Commerce." I owned this shop this morning, when it wasn't open. I am determined to win this shop, and I also believe that all the bidders present may not be able to bid for me. Therefore, after careful consideration, the Yuanning Marquis Mansion transferred the shop to me, and the contract was written clearly in black and white, and there was no fraud at all. ”

"Who said there was no fraud?" Zhu Deyun jumped out first, pointed at Du Aniu and said, "The notice outside obviously says that the shop will hold a bidding when the shop opens, and you might as well take advantage of the fact that the shop door is not open, isn't it a violation of the agreement? Besides, you are determined to win, could it be that all of us present came early, which one is not determined to win?"

After he said this, the noise that had just subsided sounded again, and most of them accused Dua Niu of being unkind.

Du Aniu was a little overwhelmed, and hurriedly glanced at Liang Dacheng. Liang Dacheng understood, coughed deliberately, and then said: "I know everyone is very anxious, but this is written in black and white, people really signed a contract, if you don't believe it, I'll take it out for you to identify." As he spoke, he took out a contract from his pocket and showed it in front of everyone.

"Let's not believe his nonsense!" Zhu Deyun stood up again, "This contract signed behind the scenes doesn't count!"

Zhu Deyun was shouting there alone, and several people standing in front of him couldn't help but gasp after reading the contract.

"What are you doing?" Zhu Deyun looked at everyone's strange expressions, very confused, "It's not for you not to believe it......"

A person standing next to him hurriedly pushed him: "Brother Zhu, don't make a fuss first, let's take a look at the contract first." ”

"What's so nice about a contract?" Zhu Deyun muttered as he looked at the contract. At this glance, his face changed instantly.

"Fifteen hundred taels of silver?! He exclaimed in a low voice, a little incredulous, and carefully identified the numbers on the contract again.

Liang Dacheng said at this time: "You might as well go to the front and take a serious look at this contract." Fifteen hundred taels of silver! Our Boss Du ordered this shop at this price, but the people are sincere and determined to win! There are many people who are determined to win, but I am afraid that they do not have this sincerity, right?"

There was another uproar among the people below, but it wasn't as loud as it had just been. After all, it is impossible for them to set up a shop for 1,500 taels of silver, which is too expensive......!
