Chapter 202: You're Too Good to Me
Seeing that Shi Linli was old and inserious, Chi Yue couldn't help but have a verbal war with him again.
It wasn't until the Queen Mother's personal attendant came to summon her that Chi Yue finally glared at Shi Linli angrily and went with her.
But I heard Shi Linli shouting behind him, "Since you have won me, I will follow your surname, and you will not be able to get rid of me from now on!" ”
Chi Yue didn't understand what he meant, but the Queen Mother was waiting for her, so she couldn't ask in detail, so she had to suppress this curiosity.
When the Queen Mother saw Chi Yue coming, she hurriedly beckoned, let her sit on the soft collapse next to her, smiled, and said quite dotingly: "You girl seems to really have some ability, no less than the demeanor of the mourning family back then." Your cooperation with King Rong is also very tacit, the two of you can be so smart, I think you will be able to support each other in the future, and the water will flow for a long time, good, good! ”
When Gu Han heard this, he knew that the Queen Mother had a good impression of Chi Yue, and wished that she would enter the Rongwang Mansion to be his side concubine, and he was very surprised for a while, and the corners of his lips overflowed with a smile of relief that could not be concealed.
Chi Yue was extremely awkward when she heard this. She and Gu Han are friends of life and death, and it is natural for them to support each other, is it appropriate to use this word that is often used as a metaphor for the love between men and women?
This thought was just a flash, she thought that it was because the Queen Mother was old and her mind was not very clear, so she would use the wrong words, so she didn't care much.
However, after being praised by the Queen Mother and Princess Qingyang, Chi Yue was very useful, and when someone came to invite her to compete with Gu Han, she agreed without hesitation.
Chi Yue was majestic on the polo field at this time, and I have to say that she has selfish intentions.
As a businessman, it is natural to expand the social circle and win the hearts and minds of the people, so that you can have a smooth ride in your career and reduce many unnecessary obstacles.
She had the intention to open the workshop to the capital, so that sooner or later she would have to make good friends with the nobles here, so that she could quickly use their prestige to quickly start the name of the Chi family's workshop.
Maybe I will make a few more friends now, and on the first day she comes to the capital to open, there will be people who will patronize her, and maybe she will be patronized. Wouldn't it be just around the corner to win over some customers and backers and gain a firm foothold in the capital?
Therefore, she not only plays polo, but also does not forget to talk and laugh with others.
Especially some noble ladies are also very willing to chat with Gu Han's partner who didn't know where to go. Although their purpose was to get close to Gu Han through Chi Yue, after all, Chi Yue had met no less than 20 noble daughters and sons in one morning, and naturally, her parents and family history were also firmly remembered by her.
These pampered sons and daughters are inferior in polo skills compared to Shi Linli and Shi Chuchu, and some of them are not vulnerable at all. But Chi Yue secretly told Gu Han to give them some face, and it would be enough to win them by two or three points at most.
Gu Han understood Chi Yue's intentions, but felt that she was thinking long-term, and secretly admired her good intentions. is to deliberately restrain the edge on the court, and match her very tacitly.
After several competitions, the two won without exception and got a lot of valuable collateral. Most of these collaterals are gold, silver, jewelry, jade hairpin rings, Gu Han pushed them all to Chi Yue, Chi Yue knew that he was not lacking these, and happily put them into his arms.
When Gu Han and Chi Yue accompanied the Queen Mother to leave, everyone only felt that there was a lingering aura on the two of them, dazzling and bright.
Even some people who looked down on her because of Chi Yue's humble status gradually became suspicious.
Looking at Gu Han's caring and considerate attitude towards her, taking good care of her, and even maintaining her everywhere, could it be that the two have any intimate relationship?
Although this Miao Wenwen has a humble family background, she has skillful skills and looks quite standard, I think because of this, King Rong favors her and is extremely attentive, right?
Since ancient times, it has been common for people in the royal family to take commoners as concubines.
Although everyone has no doubt that even if this Miao Wenwen enters the Rongwang Mansion, she can only be a concubine who can't be on the stage, and she can only be a side concubine. It can be seen that the two of them go in and out together, always side by side, and many people still feel sour in their hearts.
Chi Yue got a lot of treasures in only half a day, and she was elated and smiling.
Since coming to the capital, Gu Han has never seen her so happy, and he is quite relieved.
Everyone returned to King Rong's mansion for dinner. On a whim, Chi Yue personally went to the kitchen to stew black chicken soup for the Queen Mother and others.
There are also black chickens in King Rong's mansion, Chi Yue added wolfberries, and when it was served on the table, he said to the Queen Mother: "Queen Mother, you said that you often have backache, I think it is because of the lack of kidney qi, eat more of this supplement, and it may gradually get better." ”
The Queen Mother smiled, "Wenwen really has a heart, and she still wants to make up for the mourning family's stewed chicken soup, okay, the mourning family will listen to you." The smell is so strange that people can't help but want to taste it. ”
After tasting it, the Queen Mother nodded again and again, obviously very satisfied, and this "Wenwen" became more and more smooth.
"Sister Wenwen is really versatile, she can go to the hall and the kitchen, my third brother is really an incomparable baby." After Princess Qingyang tasted it, she couldn't help but admire.
"Where, it's just some crude carving insect skills, King Rong is a person who does great things, and the help he needs is not like a people's girl." Chi Yue said humbly.
saw that everyone at the table restrained their smiles and showed a rather puzzled expression.
Chi Yue didn't know where she was wrong, and looked at Gu Han inquiringly.
was rejected by Chi Yue again and again, and Gu Han was also tortured again and again. But he didn't know how to speak, so he had to say in a round: "Where am I who do great things?" I'm extremely impatient with the affairs of the DPRK and China, but I like to do small business like you, and if you talk about it, we are the same kind of people. ”
Gu Han has always been high-minded, and it is rare to be humble to others, but at this time, he condescends to be noble, and he must admit that he is a good match, and he really makes the Queen Mother and Princess Qingyang look at each other impressively.
Gu Han's intentions for this girl were beyond their measure.
Just looking at Chi Yue's attitude, how can it be compared to it, but it is a little too cold?
These two people really can't see through them.
That night, Gu Han thought about it and walked to the courtyard where Chi Yue was.
Seeing that the oil lamp in Chiyue's house was still on, Gu Han approached the door. When Bai Ling saw him, he hurriedly saluted, and was about to go in to report, but he quietly stopped him. He quietly entered the room, saw that she was recording something on the table, and leaned over curiously to look.
"Zhuque Street in the south of the city, Sweet Water Lane in the north of the city, Peony Street in the east of the city, and Yanzi Street in the west of the city, are the most lively, each with a workshop, and each family has 200 people. The preliminary budget is 1,000 taels ......"
It turns out that she is preparing to open the workshop to the capital?
"A thousand taels is too little, isn't it?" Gu Han's voice suddenly sounded in the quiet air, startling Chi Yue, and Huo Ran got up to face him.
Seeing Gu Han, Chi Yue breathed a sigh of relief, stabbed him in the chest and said, "Why did you come in quietly?" I was taken aback. Say, what's the important thing to come to me so late? ”
"Can't I come to see you if it's okay?" Gu Han said with a smile, "I have nothing to do, and when I saw that there was still a light in your room, I came to sit down." ”
Chi Yue pursed her lips and returned the topic to the business she was thinking about before, "You said that a thousand taels is not enough to open a workshop in the capital, so how much do you think you need at least?" ”
Gu Han said in the tunnel: "Let's not mention that the rent price in the capital is four or five times that of the local area, you can rent a property for a year for one hundred taels in the local area, but you need five or six hundred taels here." If you have four workshops at the same time, won't it cost more than 2,000 taels? ”
Chi Yue marveled at the housing prices in the capital that were so high, and sighed that the matter of speculating in real estate does not seem to be the patent of modern people.
If it weren't for Gu Han's reminder, Chi Yue really didn't expect this.
After a pause, Gu Han said again, "The workers' first-month wages are naturally much higher than those in the local area, but it is not too much for you." Speaking of the raw material sugar cane, there are few such things around the capital, do you have to travel thousands of miles from the south to transport it? ”
Chi Yue was stunned, she really didn't have a clue about this.
"So what do you say?" Chi Yue asked.
"What do you say if you don't have raw materials?" Gu Han clearly felt that with him, Chi Yue was not willing to use his brain at all, which was not a good phenomenon.
Sure enough, Chi Yue thought about it for a while, and then suddenly clapped her hands as if she had an understanding: "Without sugarcane, can we plant it?" There are tens of thousands of acres of fertile land around the capital, so why worry about renting hundreds of acres? ”
Then he sighed with emotion: "Since it is the land around the capital, the price must be expensive." In this way, there must be thousands of acres of land, or even more. ”
Gu Han looked at her amusedly, "Where can I rent it?" I am Lord Rong, and there are thousands of acres of land around the capital that have been gifted by the emperor, and you have used all of them to cultivate crops. Therefore, in terms of good land, you don't need a penny of silver. ”
This answer was something that Chi Yue didn't expect in any way, and she froze in place, looking at Gu Han in disbelief. He stared at it for a long time, as if he were looking at a monster.
"What, you don't believe me?" Gu Han asked with some hurt.
"No......" Chi Yue muttered, "It's just...... Sometimes I feel that you are too good to me. ”
A warm breeze hit, making both of their chests hot, and the air was filled with feelings of sympathy.
Gu Han couldn't help but take a step forward, brushed her forehead hair aside with her slender jade hand, and said tenderly: "Am I good to you, aren't you happy?" ”
Chi Yue only felt the hot wind paving the surface, and Gu Han's hand seemed to have a strong electric current, which made her heart, which she thought was dying, throb inexplicably, and glow with inexplicable vitality.
The handsome face in front of her, a pair of starry eyes stared at her intently, like a black hole that sucked her entire mind into it, making her hold her breath and almost sink into it, unable to extricate herself.
She realized her gaffe and quickly took a few steps back.
