Chapter 12: The Gu Family (3)

Old Lady Gu is very tired of Gu Heping now, but he is the heir of the big house and can't get rid of it. Except for the fifteenth day of the first month, the two of them were not allowed to come over at other times, and out of sight was clear.

Waving her hand, Mrs. Gu said, "I don't need you here, you can go about your own business!" ”

Yuan Shanniang pulled down Gu Heping's sleeve, and when she saw that the other party didn't respond, she had to speak by herself: "Mother, Xianggong has been resting at home for more than two months, so you can't let him rest at home all the time!" ”

Old Lady Gu looked at Gu Heping and asked, "What do you mean?" ”

Only then did Gu Heping speak: "Mother, this time it was my son's negligence that made me fooled, and I will be careful in the future." ”

Gu Xian also knew that Gu Heping had been deceived, and when she heard this, she said: "Mother, it is inevitable that you will encounter cunning and treacherous people in this business. Peace is still young, it would be good if you taught him more. ”

Old Lady Gu didn't answer Gu Xian's words, but just said, "You go to Shopkeeper Luo and ask him to return the grain shop to you." ”

Shopkeeper Luo is shrewd and capable, and he is also loyal to the Gu family, so he takes care of the Gu family's most profitable tea shop and silk shop.

Gu Heping said respectfully: "Mother rest assured, this time it was her son who was not careful, and there will be no next time." ”

Old Lady Gu nodded indifferently and said, "Then you guys should be busy!" "Don't stay here, get out of her way.

Before Yuan Shanniang left, she didn't forget to take a look at the jade Ruyi in Qingshu's hand. This girl is really a thief.

In Yuan Shanniang's heart, the Gu family's things, even if they are grass and trees, are her son's wealth. But every time Qingshu comes, he eats and takes, which is no different from digging her meat.

Her disgusted eyes fell on Qingshu's eyes.

Speaking of which, Qingshu admires these two people. With such a big family business, they have completely failed in five or six years, which is really not ordinary talent.

After Gu Xian waited for the two to leave, she couldn't help but speak: "Mother, peace and sincerity, you find two shrewd followers for him." In this way, you will not be deceived.

Mrs. Gu sneered: "Shopkeeper Lin of the grain shop has been in charge of the shop for more than ten years, but he resigned within two months of arriving at the grain store on the grounds that Shopkeeper Lin was greedy for ink. ”

The Gu family used to open a gold shop, a silk shop, a rouge shop, a tea shop, a porcelain shop, and a raw silk shop, etc., all of which were money-making businesses. But later, Old Lady Gu passed away, and others joined forces to encroach on her family's business.

In fact, Mrs. Gu kept most of the shops at that time, but later she transferred most of the business with limited energy, leaving the three shops now. And among these shops, the one that makes the least money is the grain store. However, because the supply and sales channels of the grain store are stable, as long as they follow the step-by-step process, there will be no mistakes. But the Yuan family and Yuan Shan's aunt and nephew wanted to install their own people in the shop, so they instigated Gu Heping to resign from the shopkeeper Lin.

Under the intervention of Mrs. Gu, the Yuan family failed to enter the shop on an errand. And Gu Heping's ability is mediocre, and he is not very shrewd, so he was calculated by someone with a heart.

"Peace is a generous person, if the shopkeeper is not greedy, he will not quit people."

Old Lady Gu smiled and said, "Shopkeeper Lin is not greedy for ink, otherwise I would have dismissed him a long time ago." However, he has a large family to support, and every time he talks about business, he will make some benefit from it. How could she not know these things? Otherwise, it would be impossible to keep the family business after the death of her husband.

Gu Xian was very surprised: "Mother, since you know, why didn't you fire him at that time?" ”

Old Mrs. Gu glanced at Gu Xian: "When the water is clear, there are no fish, don't you know such a simple truth?" "As long as she doesn't cross the bottom line, she will turn a blind eye.

Gu Xian felt that she was really heartbroken: "Mother, have you told Heping about these truths?" ”

Mrs. Gu said: "You think I didn't teach, but you have to be willing to listen." He only listened to the words of Yuan's aunt and nephew, and took everything I said as the wind in his ears. Even so, I don't bother to bother with words. ”

"Mother, the third aunt is a peaceful mother after all, and it's right for him to be filial."

Old Lady Gu's face suddenly turned bad.

Gu Heping passed to the big house at the age of two, and Mrs. Gu also treated him as her own son, eating and wearing everything carefully, and Gu Heping was also very filial to her at that time. Who wants to take care of the old lady who died of a sudden illness, and the competitor wants to annex her family's business, and also wants to plot her family's wealth. Old Lady Gu had all her energy to keep the family business, but the Yuan family took this opportunity to win over Gu Heping. When Mrs. Gu came back to her senses, she already had a deep love for mother and son.

Mrs. Gu is not an unreasonable person, and she will not stop Gu Heping from getting close to her biological mother. But Gu Heping always listens to the Yuan family, so she can't bear this. After Gu Heping said that he wanted to marry Yuan Shanniang and was rejected by her, after the two of them cooked raw rice and forced her to agree, she knew that this adopted son was unreliable. Later, there were a lot of incidents, which made her more and more determined to this idea. Therefore, the business at hand has gradually been released, and I don't want to work anymore.

She didn't want to work hard to make so much money, but in the end she cheapened others.

By now, she has completely lost her heart to Gu Heping, relying on Gu Heping, she might as well rely on her granddaughter to support her for the elderly!

Qingshu saw that the atmosphere was wrong, and hurriedly said, "Grandma, where are the clothes you bought for me?" ”

As Chen's mother said, Mrs. Gu did bring a lot of beautiful clothes and jewelry to Qingshu from Fucheng. It's just that I was in a hurry to visit Qingshu yesterday, and I didn't bring anything.

Old Lady Gu said with a smile: "Mother Hua, take the clothes and jewelry I brought from Fucheng." ”

I bought six sets of clothes, all of which were very bright colors, and the embroidered patterns on them were also very beautiful. Jewelry has beads, gold hairpins, bracelets, bracelets, etc., with various styles.

Gu Xian frowned and said, "Her little family, how can she use these things, this is too extravagant." ”

Mrs. Gu said: "The concubine of the Qi family has twelve sets of clothes a quarter, two sets of jewelry per quarter, eight maids serving by her side, and a nurse housekeeper. In contrast, her granddaughter was already very pitiful, with only an elm bumpy maid by her side.

"Mother, how can we compare with the Qi family. The Qi family is an official family, and the Lin family is just an ordinary family of cultivators. "If you let your younger siblings know, you'll have to say sour things again.

Mrs. Gu said: "It doesn't matter if your son is poor, her daughter must be rich." ”

Seeing that Gu Xian was still about to speak, Mrs. Gu pulled her face and said, "I bought it for red beans, not for you." ”

After speaking, Mrs. Gu touched Qingshu's head and said, "Good girl, do you like the gift that grandma bought you?" ”

At Gu Xian's eyes, Qingshu didn't seem to see it: "I like it, I like it very much, thank you grandma." "If you don't have these things, the woman won't remember them and will curse them behind their backs. In addition, it will break my grandmother's heart.

Old Lady Gu smiled: "Qingshu likes it, and grandma will buy you some clothes and jewelry after a while." ”

Gu Xian was a little depressed, her daughter used to listen to her for everything. But since she was sick, she has become more and more assertive, and she doesn't know whether it's good or bad.
