Chapter XXVIII
In the next time, in the narration of her mother, Gu Hui learned about her grandmother's legendary and brilliant life.
Maternal grandmother Jiang Cai'er is just the daughter of Xiucai in a remote mountain village, who has been stupid until she was ten years old, but fortunately, Xiucai's father loves her very much.
But for some reason, since falling into the water once, she suddenly woke up, and was dreamed of by the gods, learned a lot of skills, made tea eggs, opened a restaurant, and led her uncle's family to make a fortune and become well-off.
Encourage Xiucai's father to take the imperial examination, and won the lift, slowly the days are getting better and better, and he has accumulated a lot of wealth, and he accidentally met her grandfather in a business negotiation, and the two fell in love at first sight.
Listening to these familiar episodes, Gu Hui's eyes were dull, this is clearly the configuration that a crossing woman should have.
Unexpectedly, her grandmother and she came from the same place.
"Mother, what happened later?"
"The Xu family is a century-old family, the family style is quite strict, your grandmother married your grandfather, so she doesn't walk around and do business outside, but she also has a lot of wealth in secret."
"That's right."
After getting married, you are not as comfortable as before you got married, so why do you want to get married?
Gu Hui lowered her head and thought thoughtfully, no matter what, she would never be embarrassed by marrying someone in the future.
"Your grandfather and grandmother have a very good relationship, although Jin Yuxuan is a century-old shop, but it encountered a crisis more than ten years ago, and it was almost suppressed and disappeared. Thanks to your grandmother's help, you hit it off at first sight with Jin Yuxuan's old owner, and after worshipping the son, Jin Yuxuan's old owner had no successor, so he gave it to your grandmother. ”
"So Jin Yuxuan belongs to our family."
Xu Zhaoyuan came back to her senses and smiled.
"Your grandmother's, to be exact. Your grandmother passed away six years ago and gave it to me. ”
Gu Hui opened her mouth wide in surprise, she was a little curious before, it was clear that her mother did not have the subsidy of her mother's family, but she was very generous in spending money, and when she wanted to eat something, her mother did not feel distressed at all when she went to the imperial dining room.
It turns out that the mother is the biggest local tyrant.
"Does he know about that uncle?"
Xu Zhaoyuan touched Gu Hui's head lovingly, with nostalgia in her tone.
"He, yes, you know, your grandmother said before that it is not easy for a girl to get married, and she wants to leave Jin Yuxuan to me, your uncle did not object, and he never asked, but your aunt knows me or not, and according to your uncle's temperament, he probably won't tell anyone else."
Gu Hui suddenly thought of something, rubbed forward, leaning on Xu Zhaoyuan, her voice was small, as if she was a thief.
"Mother. Can you tell me how much money we make in a year? Don't worry, I will never tell my father. ”
Looking at Gu Hui's appearance, Xu Zhaoyuan funnily flicked her head with her fingers.
"You little creature...... I looked at the account book a few days ago, and this year's income has dropped a lot, about 200,000 taels of silver. ”
“20…… Ten thousand taels? ”
You must know that when the concubine of the ordinary duke's house marries, the silver given in the account room is only 2,000 taels.
Gu Hui swallowed her saliva, it turned out that she was not only the second generation of the emperor, but also a rich second generation.
"Mother, please give me your thighs."
"You stupid boy, why are you hugging your mother's thigh, it's not dirty, what did you learn from your father?"
Gu Hui laughed innocently and decided to skip the topic.
"Why did my mother say that our family's income has dropped in the past two years?"
Listening to Gu Hui's changed title, Xu Zhaoyuan glanced at her funny, Xu thought of some headache and sighed.
"Our Jin Yuxuan is a century-old store and has a group of loyal customers, but the recent renewal of Jin Yuxuan's jewelry is not happy, and I am in the palace again, and many things are taken care of by the shopkeepers of various branches, and they are ...... There are indeed some problems. ”
Listening to Xu Zhaoyuan's vague meaning, Gu Hui nodded clearly, there are no tigers in the mountains, the monkey is called the king, and the mother has entered the palace, and she can't always supervise and check the account books, and many shopkeepers are afraid that they have their own thoughts in their hearts.
Gu Hui picked up the jewelry he bought in Jin Yuxuan, and dared to love her that she had taken care of her family's business.
Although this jewelry is exquisite, it is true that the style is not novel, although it is useless, but it is really not enough for a century-old store like Jin Yuxuan.
Suddenly, Gu Hui's eyes lit up, and he thought of a good way.
"Mother, I have a way to try."
Xu Zhaoyuan looked at her funny, "You will still help your mother make money, is there any way to say it." ”
Gu Hui grinned and decided to sell it, "I'll draw the picture in my heart later, and my mother will see if it can be used." ”
The two talked for a while, chatting very happily, and seeing that the time was not early, Xu Zhaoyuan stood up.
"It's not early, go to sleep, tomorrow is fifteen, I'm going to say hello to the queen, don't you can't get up."
Today's queen has a prince, who was born noble and has a stable position, and she is full of satisfaction in teaching the prince, but she is not very happy to see these concubines compete every day, and she just wants to find quiet.
There is a special order that the concubines go to ask for peace once a week, and the prince and princess only need to ask for peace on the first and fifteenth days of the new year.
Gu Hui nodded, took the initiative to jump out of bed, and saluted decently.
"Good night, mother."
She suddenly thought of something, ran back with a swoop, and took out the safety buckle that she had been cherishing in her arms.
"By the way, mother, this is a meeting gift from Mrs. An Guo today."
She looked at the jade quality of this peace buckle, I am afraid it is worth a lot of money, since she knows the friendship between her grandmother and the old lady of Anguo, she still has to talk to her mother.
But I didn't expect Xu Zhaoyuan's eyes to widen in surprise when she saw this peace button, took it in her hand, looked at it, and unconsciously shed tears.
This frightened Gu Hui, and she hurriedly took out a handkerchief from her small pocket.
"It's all my fault that my mother doesn't cry, I'll throw it away later."
"Nope! No need. ”
Xu Zhaoyuan just didn't come to her senses for a while, and when she saw that she scared her daughter, a trace of guilt flashed in her eyes.
"No need...... Let it pass. ”
The old lady of An Guo gave this peace buckle to Gu Hui, I am afraid it is also the meaning.
"The past cannot be traced... Mom is fine! You go to sleep. ”
Gu Hui nodded thoughtfully, and didn't dare to ask any more, but put the peace buckle firmly in his sleeve and refused to take it out again.
Returning to her small room, Gu Hui recalled Xu Zhaoyuan's actions today, only to feel that it was strange everywhere, she shook her head, sat down at the special small table, and drew with charcoal.
It makes sense for her mother not to tell her, so let's draw the pattern in her head first, making money is the first thing.
As for staying up late...... Scold!
As a livestock that stays up all night, will she be afraid?
[Author's digression]: I have changed so much today, and I admire myself. ٩(*´◒`*)۶
Gu Hui: Staying up late is not afraid of staying up late.
Author (dark circles): Huh?
Staying up late is still not good for your health, so go to bed early.
