Chapter 267: Weakness
Gu Wanniang turned around and saw Yi An, who was looking down at her, and was taken away by Yi An, and the ancestors in the original house were gone, but in an instant, only Gu Wanniang and Yi An were left around.
Yi An took out a stack of business deeds from his sleeve, "This is the shop you once entrusted me to take care of, and now I will return these shops to you." ”
Gu Wanniang stretched out her hand to take the business deed and land deed in Yi An's hand, only to hear Yi An tell again: "There are a few bad ones, I will sell them to a new lot of shops, you can go to a glance, to facilitate future business, I have prepared a steward for you in the restaurant, let her help you take care of the shop will not go wrong." ”
"Thank you, cousin Yi."
"No need to thank you, in short, I also took a share of the profits of your shop, and it will not be less in the future." This is clear, and Yi An's calculation made Gu Wanniang breathe a sigh of relief, so that she would not owe him.
Seeing that Gu Wanniang's eyebrows and eyes relaxed a lot, Yi An felt a little lost in her heart, it turned out that Gu Wanniang didn't want to have anything to do with her like this.
Gu Wanniang: "Presumably at the beginning of the new dynasty, His Royal Highness and cousin are busy, so I bother my cousin to remember some old things about my late mother." ”
"I just want to tell my cousin that there has been a lot of trouble in the dry land this year, and I don't know how the crops will be harvested after winter and tomorrow." In his previous life, Xie Yuan was a soldier a year later, and at that time, the new dynasty of King Qin had a drought, and there was a famine during the New Year, so Xie Yuan was given a chance.
But in this life, Xie Yuan started his army a year and a half earlier, and this disaster naturally fell on Xie Yuan's new dynasty.
"His Royal Highness has already prepared for this matter, and has already prepared this year's winter grain in the granaries of various places, and requisitioned the Fan family's business name for the use of the court, even if there is a famine, it will not move the foundation of the new dynasty."
Gu Wanniang breathed a sigh of relief, Yi An and Xie Yuan had indeed made preparations a long time ago. "The people of the dawn of the world are so thankful for Your Highness and cousin."
"Water can carry a boat and capsize a boat, and you must think about it in its place."
"The official position reserved for Jiawan in the court is still there, is it really no longer an official?" Even if Xie Yuan and Yi An went to ask Mei Huailing to be an official many times, they were rejected by Mei Huailing, and he seemed to have made up his mind not to be an official in the court, no matter how Xie Yuan called him, he would not go out of the mountain.
Yi An naturally thought that it was Gu Wanniang who didn't let Mei Huailing be an official, so she asked. Gu Wanniang didn't mean to influence Mei Huailing, "Jiawan's affairs are free for Jiawan to decide." ”
"Well, this matter has nothing to do with you."
Gu Wanniang looked at the new clothes sent by the show lady in front of her, and was a little puzzled, obviously she only sent a new cloth to the show lady yesterday and selected a few styles, why did the show lady come to the door with the new cloth again today. There are also some styles in the new cloth that have been cut out for Gu Wanniang to see.
The new clothes that came today are all bright colors, and even the not-so-careful sting can be seen to be the colors on Gu Wanniang's clothes today, "How does Xiu Niangzi know that my girl has changed into new clothes, and she specially found new clothes for my girl." ”
Where is the show lady thought that Gu Wanniang liked this bright material, obviously Mei Huailing saw it today, so she sent Gu Wanniang back to the house and called the show lady to send the new cloth.
The old birthmark on the face of the show lady has faded a lot, and most of the face covered by her hair has leaked out, and she is not as withdrawn as before, but she still doesn't have many words, "It's good if the girl likes it." ”
"I heard you came to the door an hour ago?"
"I thought I would come early to measure the new size of the girl, go back in the afternoon to make some styles, and wait until tomorrow to show the girl, but I didn't wait for the girl, so I waited for an extra hour in the concierge."
"Can you have a meal?"
"Never."
Gu Wanniang summoned Mama to give her some dishes made in the small kitchen, and she didn't have time to eat, and the old ancestor talked nonsense and ate with Mei Huailing, but she didn't eat at the old ancestor's place, and now she is really a little hungry, so she can use some with Xiu Niangzi.
Seeing that Gu Wanniang was going to leave her a meal, Xiu Niangzi was startled, and hurriedly thanked Gu Wanniang, "Third girl, I'll go back after measuring the size." ”
"Don't worry, didn't you bring some looks, just in time to take a look with me, I'm also a little hungry."
Xiu Niangzi: "Three girls, how can anyone have a tailor lady and the main girl to eat together, if the three girls give food, I will go to the kitchen to eat." ”
"I said you eat with me, and you eat with me, and what is there to twist?"
Stunned and smiling on the side, "Xiu Niangzi doesn't have to refuse, my girl is used to treating us well, since she invited Xiu Niangzi to dine together, Xiu Niangzi just sat down." ”
Mama sent a few new maids to deliver the meal, Gu Wanniang looked at several dishes that were quite sumptuous, "Mama, this has been prepared a long time ago?" ”
"These are sent by the old ancestor to the girl from the big kitchen, and the old ancestor knew that the second son of Mei had not invited the girl to dinner, so he sent the Basai girl to bring all the food."
"Sister Basai has been here?"
"When Miss Basai came, the girl was talking with the beautiful lady, but the girl didn't hear it, and the girl gave orders at the door and left."
Gu Wanniang watched Mama send away those maids and asked, "I have been sent away in this courtyard, why are there so many fresh faces again?" ”
"It was brought by Gongzi Yi, and His Royal Highness gave it to the good maid of the Gu Mansion."
Xie Yuan prepared carefully, all the noble families in Chang'an City who were now reused by Xie Yuan, Xie Yuan rewarded them, which was both an emperor's grace and a kind of surveillance.
Gu Wanniang: "But the ancestor wants to give me a dowry?" ”
Mama nodded, Xie Yuan used himself to send maids to Mei Huailing. Gu Wanniang looked at the eight good maids who were standing, many of them were a few girls with outstanding temperament and appearance, Gu Wanniang: "You used to be on an errand in the palace?" ”
Several maids returned one by one, two of them were female officials in the original Qin Wang's mansion, and four palace maids who had been on errands in the palace, and the remaining two were maids in front of Xie Yuan himself.
Feeling that Gu Wanniang's face was not good, and with a look of wind and rain coming, Mama dispersed the maids, "If the girl doesn't like it, let the second son of Mei and His Royal Highness retreat." ”
"He wants me to be a dowry, how can I get his wish?" Gu Wanniang's words were very disrespectful, if she said it in private, but there was a show lady here.
Xiuniang and Gu Wanniang said to spare: "Don't worry, third girl, I didn't hear anything today." ”
Feeling Xiu Niangzi's caution, Gu Wanniang smiled and said, "Don't worry, Xiu Niang, I will do it in front of His Royal Highness today." Xie Yuan wanted to make up his mind with Mei Huailing, so he didn't even think about it, Gu Wanniang couldn't let herself become Mei Huailing's weakness.
