Chapter XXVII: Punishment

"Dare to be a slave, dare to frame my aunt, Aunt Li will not know about the fact that the Prime Minister never needs relatives?" Gu Hao was so angry that he directly kicked the shopkeeper, but now Gu Hao still doesn't want to suspect that Aunt Li is behind it, and only thinks that this slave framed Aunt Li.

"Xiangye, I am really Aunt Li's cousin, if you don't believe it, please ask her to find out!" The shopkeeper now knelt in front of Gu Hao with great fear, and cried with a handful of snot and tears.

"Auntie, please come over!" Gu Hao said even though his face changed.

The young lady of General Li's family looked at the scene in front of her, and immediately said: "It turns out that this prime minister's house is actually the mastery of the aunt, so it is normal to do some reluctance, this time Miss Ben has suffered a dumb loss, and I won't go to your store to buy anything!" ”

Just when Gu Hao had nothing to say, Gu Muyan came out and said: "Miss Li misunderstood, the shopkeeper is just in temporary management, something happened to the original shopkeeper's home, and there was no one to take over, the store was all fakes, he had not touched antiques, so I couldn't see it, this painting of yours will stay with me for a day, and you will come again tomorrow at noon, it must be genuine, according to Miss Li, how about this?" ”

"I know that you, the leader of this year's Hundred Flowers Festival, the person who can write such a heart-warming poem, will definitely not deceive me, Miss Ben will believe you once, I will come again tomorrow." Miss Li looked at Gu Muyan's familiar eyes, took a closer look and recognized it, and then agreed to what Gu Muyan said.

After Miss Li left with the family, Gu Hao asked Gu Muyan, "Why did you come to the front yard?" There was some impatience in the words.

"When I went back to my father, I just came back from outside, and the jewelry store that was originally very profitable, etc., somehow only lost money in the past few years." Gu Muyan didn't understand Gu Hao's question, and said truthfully: "Especially in antique shops, everything you see is fake. ”

"What? Give me the book! Gu Hao took this matter to heart, turned his head directly and glared at Aunt Li's cousin, and then asked the next person with great displeasure: "What about Aunt Li?" Why haven't you come yet? ”

About a quarter of an hour later, Aunt Li came up unhurriedly, and Gu Muyan left after giving the account book to Gu Hao, in order to clear the suspicion.

This account book is in Gu Hao's hands, then Aunt Li will definitely not end well, because the account book is really full of loopholes, not to mention that in the past, Aunt Li always asked Gu Hao for medicine money on the grounds of the loss in the house, but now she has to settle an account.

"Uncle Sheng, what's going on?" As soon as Gu Muyan came back, he asked Sheng Zhoujin to arrange for someone to tell her about the matter in Aunt Li's warehouse, and now that Sheng Zhoujin is back, she wants to arrange that matter.

"An aunt, that treasury is more than all the things in this prime minister's mansion combined!" Sheng Zhoujin shook his head and sighed.

After a while, the direction of Aunt Li's treasury seemed to be on fire, which provoked Aunt Li to quickly order someone to move out those valuable things, but only Gu Hao knew, how could Aunt Li have anything valuable, but they were all old things, but they couldn't be so prosperous.

So naturally, Gu Hao also suspected the things in Aunt Li's warehouse, and directly asked people to take the account books of those loss-making stores to verify them one by one, and found that those things that disappeared in the store, or things that had been sold, all appeared in Aunt Li's warehouse.

"Slut!" Gu Hao directly gave Aunt Li a slap and scolded in front of the whole house.

"Xiangye, the concubine is confused for a while, Xiangye!" Aunt Li knew that it was useless to say anything now, so she begged for mercy directly: "The concubine is used to being cautious, so she left these valuable things in the mansion and not in the store!" ”

"Are you a fool for what you are?" Gu Hao glared at Aunt Li and said, this is the first time Gu Hao has looked at Aunt Li so viciously and spoke.

Under these words, Aunt Li naturally knew that no matter how hard she was, she simply hugged Gu Hao's leg and said silently with tears in her eyes: "Master, the concubine knows that it is useless to say anything now, what the master says is what it is!" ”

At this time, Gu Hao's expression was a little loose, and just when he wanted to help Aunt Li up, several boxes of things were moved out of the warehouse, because the box was very familiar, Gu Hao walked over directly and let Aunt Li fall to the ground.

Aunt Li, who originally thought that the matter was resolved, was waiting for Gu Hao to help her up, and she didn't want to leave, but when she turned around and looked in the direction of Gu Hao, she saw a few boxes that had just been moved out, and the things there were all thank you gifts that she had said she would give to Dali Temple!

"How do you explain these things! I said why Chen Siqing didn't have a good face for me since that day, and I couldn't imagine that it was really the fault of my own appearance! "Gu Hao's expression now can't hurt Aunt Li with a thousand knives!

Without waiting for Aunt Li to say something, Gu Hao directly called someone: "Come on!" Pull Aunt Li back to the courtyard, remove all the subordinates, and don't be allowed to take half a step out of Chunxiangju for a month! ”

In the end, Aunt Li naturally returned all the things that were greedy for ink to their original owners, and those who were originally Aunt Li's cronies were all driven out of the Prime Minister's Mansion by Gu Hao.

Not only that, Aunt Li was also fined three months of silver, and Gu Hao even let out cruel words and stopped stepping into Chunxiangju, and really didn't step into it that night.

This also gave the aunt next to her a chance, and she walked around the prime minister's mansion all of a sudden, especially the Aunt Zhang, who was originally inferior to Aunt Li, and now that Aunt Li had an accident, Aunt Zhang has become a celebrity in the house, and Aunt Zhang thought that all this was done by Gu Muyan, so two days later, she came to visit Gu Muyan in Wuyuan.

And those thoughts in Aunt Zhang's heart are also quietly changing, how can she be satisfied with taking the child out now, and when she has the opportunity, she naturally wants to live a peaceful life in the house, and she doesn't have to go out to bump in the road.

Seeing Aunt Zhang's diligent appearance these days, and even asking the old lady Gao to say goodbye every day, how could she not see the little abacus in Aunt Zhang's heart, so the thing that she said before was naturally done.

Together with Aunt Li, there was Gu Xiyue who couldn't raise her head in the mansion, because Aunt Li had done something greedy for ink after all, so even her subordinates looked down on Gu Xiyue and pointed behind her back, but Gu Xiyue turned around, and those subordinates were doing their own things as if nothing had happened.

Gu Xiyue, who had nowhere to vent, could only accuse Aunt Li in Aunt Li's courtyard.

On the other hand, under Gu Muyan's arrangement, the affairs of the house were in order, and he didn't ask Gu Hao for silver subsidies again, but he could also take out some silver taels for Gu Hao to store them.

At this time, Gu Hao was impressed by Gu Muyan's ability, and in his heart, he began to think about how to marry Gu Muyan to a good family, so as to help Gu Hao's own official career, after all, most of the current court and middle school are his father-in-law's protΓ©gΓ©s, and he is a dignified prime minister, but he was actually pressed to death by the prince of the court, how can Gu Hao not feel aggrieved?

Now that he has seen Gu Muyan's ability, why can't he find a good family, not to mention that he won the first prize of the Hundred Flowers Festival this year, which adds another halo to Gu Muyan's worth.

Cheng Qi, who was far away at the border pass, had already won a battle, and when he was a little free, he wrote a letter to bring Gu Muyan quickly, and also brought some gadgets from the border pass, saying that when he returned to the capital, the two would go to the suburbs to fish again and taste his roasting skills again.

It was only three days before the letter arrived in Gu Muyan's hands, and the person who sent the letter stayed for a while, and he opened the letter first.

"Miss, what does this letter say? Smiling so brightly? Xi Xiang put the things in his hand on the table and asked Gu Muyan with a smile.

"Just know the poor mouth, go, bring the clothes and shoes that Miss Ben has made!" Gu Muyan glanced at Xiang Xiang with disgust, and touched his face again, but he didn't even notice Fang Cai's expression.

When Xi Xiang brought the clothes, Gu Muyan said that he would hand over the clothes to the people waiting outside the door, but he just gave Cheng Qi a return gift, which was sewn by Gu Muyan himself, in order to make Cheng Qi wear it more comfortably.

After putting down the letter, Gu Muyan opened the package sent by Cheng Qi again, and sure enough, there were the gadgets mentioned in the letter, as well as some pastries from the border gates, and after appreciating some of the maids in the courtyard, the rest was kept for himself.

After a few more days, after the store in Fuzhong that was originally in the hands of Aunt Li returned to the right track, Gu Muyan began to work on his own affairs.

"Uncle Sheng, now that my body is also relatively good, I don't know when this martial arts will start?" Gu Muyan asked Sheng Zhoujin directly, after all, he had been practicing in the morning for a long time.

"It just so happens that my subordinates also want to talk to Miss about this matter, since Miss has already spoken, it is better to choose a day than to hit the day, let's start today." Sheng Zhoujin looked at Gu Muyan with satisfaction and said, because Sheng Zhoujin didn't expect such a boring thing that Gu Muyan could hold on for such a long time, so she was naturally moved by Gu Muyan's persistence.

But although Gu Muyan wanted to start as soon as possible, it made Gu Muyan feel a little defensive in the mansion, after all, there were not many people in the mansion who really treated him.

"Uncle Sheng, why don't we go outside, it just so happens that the problem in the house is almost solved, and I should double my grandfather's money!" At that time, Uncle Lawsheng will take care of that store. Gu Muyan asked Sheng Zhoujin with a smile, but there was an unquestionable look in his eyes.

"The subordinates follow the arrangement of the young lady!" Sheng Zhoujin said very respectfully, if he said that his thoughts about Gu Muyan in the past were just the granddaughter of Old Lady Fu, now he really respects him from the heart.

"Then go out with me today." Gu Muyan said to Sheng Zhoujin, and then said to Ruoshu: "Ruoshu, you go out with me today." ”

Ruoshu nodded, but still asked with some worry in his heart: "Miss, what if you meet that person at that time?" ”

"It's okay, just say that I bought you from outside, and he won't recognize me." Gu Muyan gave Ruoshu a reassuring look and said, how could the four princes be so easy to see? Gu Muyan wasn't worried.

Then the three of them went to a store she was already optimistic about under the leadership of Gu Muyan, which was originally a winery, so the space was huge, and it was also a good place to sell and store grain.

Sheng Zhoujin looked at this huge winery, and she couldn't imagine what she was going to do with this winery.

"Uncle Sheng, from now on you are Master Sheng, Ruoshu and I are the maids by your side, today's negotiation is up to you, this winery is the highest one thousand taels." Gu Muyan said seriously to Sheng Zhoujin, then took out two handkerchiefs from his sleeves, handed one to Ruoshu, and covered his face.

After all, Sheng Zhoujin has also followed Mrs. Fu for many years, and this point is bound to exist.

After a few people were ready to step into the winery, the original owner of the winery looked at Sheng Zhoujin's appearance and immediately saw that he was today's buyer, so he naturally stepped forward flatteringly and said, "I don't know what the winery master thinks?" ”

"Eight hundred taels." Sheng Zhoujin looked at the person nodding in front of him and said directly.

This time, not only the owner of the winery, but even Gu Muyan was a little stunned, originally only thinking about waiting for the person to speak before counteroffering, but he didn't expect Sheng Zhoujin to directly put the price at eight hundred taels as soon as he came out, how could the owner of this winery agree?

"This, I'm afraid of this price..."Before the owner of the winery finished speaking, Sheng Zhoujin said again: "Seven hundred taels." ”

"Master, you're too much..." The owner of the winery suddenly sweated on his forehead, looked at Sheng Zhoujin nervously, and when he noticed that Sheng Zhoujin wanted to speak again, he actually agreed.

In the end, this winery was bought by Sheng Zhoujin at a price of seven hundred taels, which Gu Muyan did not expect.

After waiting for the original owner of the winery to leave, Gu Muyan looked at the title deed in his hand and nodded with satisfaction.

"How did Mademoiselle see something unusual about this winery?" Sheng Zhoujin asked very respectfully.

"I've been here before, and when I'm outside, there's nothing out of the ordinary, but when I actually step into this winery, I can smell the unusual smell in the air, and I'm afraid that there was a problem with the winery's cellar when it was built, and this wine can't be stored for a long time." Gu Muyan explained.

"Is that so?" Sheng Zhoujin nodded and finally said clearly.

"Is this winery going down soon?" Ruoshu also frowned suspiciously on the side and said.

"Who said I'm going to keep running a winery? Since the winery can't be opened anymore, how can I hit the south wall again? Gu Muyan pretended to be mysterious and said: "Miss Ben doesn't open a winery, she opens a grain farm!" ”

"But I'm afraid it's hard to open the grain farm now, right?" This wine cellar is excellent for storing grain, better than the granary outside, but Sheng Zhoujin still has some concerns in his heart.

"Count the days, there has been no flood in Jiangnan for a long time, if I guess correctly, either this year or the next year, this flood may come again." Gu Muyan said affirmatively, but he still said that the time was this year and next year.

Sheng Zhoujin pondered for a moment, then nodded and said, "There is some truth, but it is a little too risky?" ”

"If you only open a grain farm, such a large place is a bit wasteful, and this front hall can naturally be made into a place for drinking, so that people can often visit here!" Gu Muyan said to Sheng Zhoujin and Ruoshu very seriously.

"Miss, can you allow the slave to tell me what she thinks?" Ruoshu on the side looked at the layout here and had his own thoughts in his heart, so he had the courage to ask Gu Muyan.

"Even if it is." The reason why Gu Muyan came out with Ruoshu today was because he didn't want to bury Ruoshu, after all, the reputation of Ruoshu in his previous life was also resounding in the capital.

"Thank you, Miss." Ruoshu blessed the body and said, and then pointed to the layout of the winery and said: "After entering this winery, there is a huge courtyard, it is better to make this main house into a place to sell grain, and the two side houses are made into a restaurant and the other is made into a cheap and high-quality clothing and jewelry store, so that there will be an endless stream of people coming." ”
