"The third brother's partners last year, in addition to the eldest aunt and Gongzhong, were the Ou family and the Ning family, and they didn't do business for themselves, but with outsiders, where is this kind." Gu Chan pouted and muttered.

"The Ning family is an imperial businessman, Ning Peilan is now the princess of Chengjun, Gu Yun and the Ning family cooperate, the benefits outweigh the disadvantages for both parties, and they can also share the risks. What's the use of repeatedly complaining that Gu Yun doesn't take care of his brother? What capital do we have to take care of him? He called people to partner in the land to run a farm a year ago, and the three aunts all took money to Gu Jing to invest in shares, and the follow-up water conservancy and civil construction projects have spent more than 2,000 taels one after another, Gu Jing has spent more than 2,000 taels one after another, he is only a small shareholder, and now that spring ploughing is about to begin, high-quality farm tools are an expense that cannot be saved. Want to follow Gu Yun to make money? Do you have the money to invest with him? Gu Xu naturally has confidence in saying this, although he takes Gu Jing as an example, but every penny spent on the civil construction of the farm is really taken out by his wife, and if you want to make money, you have to spend money first, and where does the money come from if you don't have money to spend.

Gu Chan was completely silent, but Second Lady Gu cried.

"I knew it! I knew it! You think I'm poor! My sister-in-law and third sister have money to support their son, but I don't have it, but to put it mildly, it's actually to blame me for being poor, I don't have money! ”

"What are you crying about? If you don't have money, you don't have money, why cry, your son is already an adult, how he wants to support his family is his own business, and parents can still worry about him for a lifetime? ”

"I can't worry about it, what about his good daughter-in-law? She didn't say a word? Don't want to add some property to your family? ”

"Rely on the daughter-in-law's money? Who have I become? Eat soft rice? "Gu Xu is really a little jumpy, Gu Yun's cooperative farm matter, his wife Tong quietly took money into shares, and the title deed and subsequent contracts are all his wife's name, no one knows about this in the house, Gu Yun and Bai Ko's mouths are very reliable, but Gu Xu himself still minds being said to rely on his wife to earn money to support the family with dowry.

Second Mrs. Gu was yelled at by her son, and her reason finally returned, her face turned pale, and she regretted what she had just said.

"Look what you're talking about!"

Second Master Gu slapped the table and went out with his hands, unwilling to talk to his wife anymore.

Gu Xu also had a dark face and followed his father.

Only Gu Chan held her mother's hand and comforted her.

Although the quarrel between the eldest master in the room did not spread to the outside of the second room, he couldn't hide the two concubines and two concubines below, each of whom told his son to study hard in his own room.

The two young masters responded to their biological mother's words, replied to Wen Shu, and prepared for this spring's children's exam, which is once a year, and if you fail in the previous year, you can continue to take the exam next year, until you pass the exam.

The second room is like this, the people are silent, they don't talk about it, the long room and the third room naturally didn't hear any wind at all, Gu Yun and Bai Ko have been resting in Zhongming Courtyard since they came back from shopping, tomorrow on the seventh day of the first month, they have already decided to eat poon choi in the house, so Bai Ko went to bed early after dinner, and went to the east kitchen to do things in the morning, and instructed the cooks and cooks how to make poon choi.

Early the next morning, Bai Ko went directly to the east kitchen after breakfast, and never showed up in front of Gu Yun again, Gu Yun saw that the sky was not good, so he rested and warmed his book at home, and in the morning, Qinglan took a letter and walked into the ear room.

"Master, there's a letter from the East Palace, and the messenger is still waiting outside for a reply."

Gu Yun hurriedly opened the letter and read it without thinking, it turned out to be the prince's own handwriting, and the letter asked about the life-size mirror that has been shining in the past few days, it turned out that the young masters and grandmothers of the Zhu family went shopping on the street the day before yesterday, and they had a deep understanding of the excitement, so yesterday the county lord also went to the street to feel it, and today the prince wrote to ask for details.

This kind of trivial matter was conveyed by the East Palace directly from the letter instead of through the Zhan Shifu, Gu Yun's face was calm, and his heart was happy, it seemed that he had won the favor of the county lord, and he couldn't wait.

"Go, quickly call the white butler back, and ask her key to open the small storeroom."

Qinglan took the order and called Xiao Yezi to run errands, just as Bai Ko's preliminary preparations came to an end, everyone who should be simmering on the stove was sitting on the fire, Bai Ko explained to Zeng Zhu to take care of the fire clearly, and went back to Zhongming Courtyard.

"Shizi, what do you want from the small treasury?" Bai Ko walked into the ear room and asked for instructions.

Gu Yun was writing a reply, it was necessary to explain why he didn't tell the palace as soon as possible, but first let the people of the capital know that there was a big mirror, and he happened to finish writing when Bai Ke came back, so he put down his pen, grabbed the letter on the side and shook it in his hand.

"The prince wrote a letter himself, asking us about the big mirror, yesterday the county lord went to the street, and now the messenger is still waiting for my reply."

"Understood, then I'm going to get a few new vanity mirrors, there are just some left, let's get them together?"

"Okay, you can save space."

Bai Ko then called two third-class girls to go with her to the small warehouse behind to move the boxes, and asked them to send them to the ear room first, and she went back to her house to take a thick envelope that had been prepared a long time ago and handed it to Gu Yun.

Gu Yun opened it and saw that it was all some furniture sketches, some were full-body mirrors with brackets, and some were dressers with half-length mirrors, of course, the drawings were not perfect, a schematic diagram of the level of children's stick figures, but illiterate craftsmen could know what it was when they saw it, and they could inspire new imagination and make excellent objects.

"Yes, no problem, just bring it back to the courier."

Bai Ko nodded in response, stuffed the letterhead and drawings into the envelope and sealed them respectively, and then passed away from the son's bedroom, opened the money box and took some change and put a purse, and then beckoned the girl to carry the mirror to the front to reply to the messenger, the purse is naturally for the carriage and horse expenses of others.

The messenger returned to the East Palace to resume his life, the envelope and items were presented directly to the prince, his wife and children looked around, and the new mirror in the box immediately made them remove the previous mirror, but they did not change hands to the next person, but properly collected it as a souvenir, after all, it was the first batch of finished products, very commemorative, and the drawings attached by Gu Yun were also highly praised, and the skilled craftsmen would get excellent inspiration from this simple style drawing.

And the sample sent with the reply letter was also the first batch of vanity mirrors with movable stands, but the number was only enough for the prince of the East Palace to share with his family of four, so the princess took out two sides, waited for the lunch break, took her daughter, and sent the mirror and drawings to the queen's palace.

It just so happened that the saint was taking a nap on the queen's side today, and he hadn't left when the princess arrived, and he laughed when he saw the new mirror and the simple drawings, and the officials and wives who entered the palace to ask for peace in the past two days all took this big mirror as a topic of chat, starting from the fifth day of the first month, to the seventh day of today's new year, the people in the whole capital have been talking about it for several days, all of them are speculating about when the official finished product will be on the market, how much is the different sizes, whether ordinary people can afford it, and so on.

Especially yesterday, the county lord personally went to the street to feel it, and he has been full of praise when he comes back, the sage has already had the heart to ask the household to place an order, but he still has to test it again, so he asked the prince to send an order tomorrow to let Gu Yun make a sample of a dressing mirror and send it to the palace, the style is determined by himself, the time is limited to the last day of the month, and Bai Ko will send it in person.

Because Gu Yun is a foreign minister, he can't enter the harem.

Father-in-law smiled and whispered.
