Chapter 20 The Gu family is here
Su Wanyu packed up the pots and cans for making ice and went out.
She's going on a field trip.
She stepped on the bluestone slab, walked from the west alley to the neighboring Xiqin lane, and walked several nearby alleys and paths until she reached the west gate of the city.
Walking around like this can be regarded as a small gain.
Most of the small roads and alleys near the west alley are crooked and unregular. In front of the west gate of the city, there is a wide road running east-west. This road is the official road that connects the east and west gates of Yizhou City. Close to the west gate of the city, Yizhou people call it the West Gate Official Road.
Although this Ximen official road is not as prosperous as Nantang Street, it is also a traffic artery, which has been bustling with people.
The west alley is connected to this Ximen official road by an inconspicuous nameless alley. From the official road of the West Gate through this nameless alley, in less than half an hour, you can reach their shop.
This is a good discovery, but this small alley is too inconspicuous for ordinary people to walk this path if they have nothing to do.
Su Wanyu thought about waiting for the store to open, and on the side of this small alley near Ximen Guandao, mark a big and conspicuous sign to attract customers.
But Su Wanyu also knew in her heart that this discovery was not enough to support the business of an ice drink and cold food restaurant.
Su Wanyu also worked as a supervisor in the consumer goods industry in her previous life. On the way home, she pondered and took stock of ways to attract guests:
Ad? Handbill? Internet marketing? Circle of friends?
If you want to use modern scientific and technological means, you will stop cooking.
Well, the circle of friends can create word of mouth through word of mouth.
The carpenter shop that Wu's mother said before is also a method passed on by word of mouth.
It's just that she, Su Wanyu, has just arrived, and she is not familiar with life.
There is no circle of friends, but the circle of creditors is very large.
Creditor circle? Pregnant.
Life is like this, sometimes, after thinking about it for a long time, there is no reason, and sometimes, a flash of inspiration opens up.
Su Wanyu thought hard all the way, and when she was about to arrive at the door, she finally waited for her aura.
She suddenly thought of the debt booklet she had left for her when she left the Su Mansion.
Su Quan'er was thoughtful, and the booklet recorded the name of the creditor, the amount owed, and the address where the family lived.
This is all valuable information.
This Great Qi Dynasty pays attention to etiquette and exchanges. Merchants in Yizhou communicate with each other, and whoever opens a new shop will post to invite other merchants to come and hold a show.
Before Mr. Su's accident, he also went to several newly opened shops. The merchants in Yizhou City attach great importance to this etiquette of cheering each other, and those who have been praised by others will also go down when the new store is opened.
The creditors recorded in Su Wanyu's booklet were all debts owed because of business dealings with the Su family. Before Master Su committed the lawsuit, they were all friends in the Su family's business scene.
If Su Wanyu posts according to the list in this booklet, she should be able to invite a lot of people.
Then, she accepted the debt of the old man Su before the lawsuit.
When she arrived at the door, she hurriedly pushed open the courtyard door and entered, and went straight to her room, wanting to dig out the pamphlet and take a closer look.
"Buckle, buckle, buckle."
Before Su Wanyu could reach her room, she heard someone knocking on the courtyard door. She had to turn back and open the door.
The person who came was a white-faced woman in her forties, a little chubby. I don't know if it's because of fat or proper maintenance, there are no wrinkles on my face. It's just that there are many yellow freckles under the eyes, which are very conspicuous on the white face.
The woman was dressed in a brocade garment of dark brown stripes, and her hair was coiled, but she wore no ornaments.
She said: "Is this the family of Master Su Zhanyuan?" ”
"Exactly, what do you call it?" Su Wanyu said.
"I am the housekeeper mother of Mrs. Gu, my husband's surname is Li, and I came to visit Mrs. Su and Miss Su on the order of my wife."
This woman had a serious face, and her words were neither humble nor arrogant, and she appeared to be quite educated. It seems that this Mother Li is a mother with a high status and a head and face.
And the Gu family in her mouth is the No. 1 wealthy businessman in Yizhou that Mrs. Su once mentioned and told Su Wanyu about family affairs.
It's just that this door-to-door visit is an important etiquette of the ancients, how can anyone find a servant to come. Generally, a servant is sent to deliver a letter, a post or something. Sending a servant to visit, this is a slap in the face of Chi Guoguo.
If the Gu family can get mixed up to this point, they will naturally not make such a low-level mistake in etiquette. The only explanation is that the Gu family thinks it is appropriate to send a housekeeper mother to visit the current Su family.
Su Wanyu knew in her heart, and she didn't say anything, she was not the original owner, she didn't care about the class level of the Great Qi Dynasty, and she didn't care about the marriage of the Gu family. She was just a little curious about the sudden visit of Mother Li, thinking that it might not be just to see their mother and daughter, so she wanted to ask Mother Li what she meant.
At this time, I heard Mrs. Su's voice coming from the main room: "Wanyu, please come in." ”
Su Wanyu sighed in her heart, so she had to say to Mother Li: "Mother Li, please go this way." ”
Su Wanyu led Mother Li through her small courtyard to the main house where Mrs. Su was.
In this short journey, Mother Li looked serious, did not squint, walked on foot, behaved decently, and behaved appropriately.
"It's Mother Li's here. You see that my body is useless, and I can't get up, it's really slack. ”
Mrs. Su was very happy to see someone from the Gu family coming. But because there is only one mother, I feel a little uncomfortable. However, for the sake of her daughter's family affairs, she forcibly suppressed the dissatisfaction in her heart and showed a polite smile.
"Mrs. Su, look at what you said, you lie down and rest." When Mother Li heard what the woman in front of her said, she understood in her heart that this was Mrs. Su.
The Gu family and the Su family had the intention of marrying before, and not many people knew about it. Li's mother is one of the few people who knows.
She entered the courtyard gate, although she didn't look around, but Yu Guang also saw the Su family clearly.
The yard is small, the furnishings are simple, goodbye to this family of coarse linen clothes, living in this ordinary house, full of market atmosphere.
When I saw Mrs. Su again, her face was yellow, and she was leaning crookedly on the bed, without the slightest bit of ladylike brilliance.
She was very disdainful in her heart, and when she thought of her eldest young master's handsome appearance, she even agreed with her wife's idea of ending the Su family's relatives.
"On such a hot day, I bother my mother to run this errand." Mrs. Su said, politely, but in and out of the words, she didn't recognize the statement of the visit just now.
"It's okay, no, our wife asked me to come and visit Mrs. Su and Miss Su." Mother Li said.
"Thank you so much Mrs. Gu, the friendship between the Gu family and the Su family is not ordinary." Mrs. Su said.
"My wife said that the Gu family and the Su family used to be friends in the business field, and now that the Su family is in trouble, it is also appropriate to send me to visit." Mother Li said.
"Is your wife in good health?" Mrs. Su said.
"My wife has always been in good health, thank you Mrs. Su for your concern. But now there is nothing to worry about at home, and our wife is a little blessed, but she is worried about getting fat recently. ”
