The Duchess of Yanguo was like hearing Lunyin, and she was like garlic: "The county lord said very much, Liulang married the fourth lady of the house, we are in-laws, we are all a family, this is ......"

She had forgotten about her holiday with Gu Mingzhu, and was full of hope that she could get Gu Mingzhu's words of relief.

Gu Mingzhu was not in a hurry, and looked at her with a smile: "That's right, so the government still has to think about this matter." ”

Duchess Yan Guo looked at Gu Mingzhu with her mouth half open, but she vaguely seemed to understand a little.

She remembered what Yan Guogong specially handed her when she came, and hurriedly asked the maid to bring it up, pushed the brocade box to Gu Mingzhu, and smiled stiffly: "Some time ago, my mother's brother came back to Chang'an from the South China Sea and brought a box of Nanzhu. ”

Originally, she should have stammered Gu Mingzhu and flattered her, but she couldn't say it as if she was stuck in her throat.

Just because there is not only a layer of Nanzhu on the surface in that box, but also ten deeds pressed underneath, all of which are high-quality grange shops in the hands of the Duke of Yanguo, if it is exchanged for money and silver, I am afraid that it will be worth thousands of gold, how can she not feel pain, let alone give it to Gu Mingzhu, how can she feel uncomfortable.

But Yan Guogong scolded her for being short-sighted, and asked her to send these to Gu Mingzhu, now that the lives of the family are in the hands of the Lingling County Lord, how can she be reluctant to have such a little family wealth.

But the box was sent forward, but Gu Mingzhu didn't look at it much, and she didn't let the maid follow, she just smiled: "Madame is too polite, but Nanzhu I still have some here, all of which are rewarded by the queen of heaven, and these are still kept by Madame as jewelry and beaded hairpins." ”

She won't take it!

Duchess Yan Guo looked at Gu Mingzhu blankly, she didn't know what to do for a while, this was something she never expected, she originally thought that Gu Mingzhu was so embarrassed by them, it must be just to get some benefits and be greedy for some money.

But Gu Mingzhu didn't even look at the box, and he didn't even care about what was inside.

She said tentatively: "Is the county lord not interested in Nanzhu, there are still ...... in this"

Gu Mingzhu interrupted her, and her smile turned cold: "Madame, is this underestimating me, or underestimating the Yanguo Mansion?" ”

Duchess Yan Guo didn't understand.

Gu Mingzhu glanced to the side, Ah Bi stepped forward and pushed the box back to the Duchess of Yanguo, she chuckled and said: "What a big deal this is, I think the Duke of Yanguo Mansion is my family, so I am willing to sit down and discuss with my wife, but Mrs. not only underestimated me, but also underestimated herself, there are so many people in the mansion, is it only worth this?" ”

This means, not enough?!!

Duchess Yan Guo's mouth was open enough to swallow an egg, and she couldn't close it for a long time, she couldn't imagine that the county lord of Lingling was so young that she dared to take this handle and open her mouth widely, and take money from her, and she didn't even look down on these gifts, how much did she want!

She held back her anger and asked Gu Mingzhu cryptically.

Gu Mingzhu chuckled: "Why do you think people are staring at your ship?" ”

Duchess Yan Guo was stunned, listening to Gu Mingzhu say softly: "Originally, I should have accepted it all, but it was not easy to think about the house, I am afraid that I will rely on this to make some money and make up for the house, and it is better to leave a line." ”

She stretched out her hand and compared, and her smile made the Duchess of Yanguo shudder: "Sixty percent, sixty percent of this ship, and the docks of Cangzhou, Siyang, and Hangzhou." ”

Duchess Yanguo's hands were trembling, and she couldn't even hold the teapot, so she put it on the table in a panic, not knowing whether she was angry or frightened.

Gu Mingzhu actually fought the idea of the boat line, and as soon as he opened his mouth, he was going to go to the interests of sixty percent, and he also wanted the wharves of Cangzhou, Siyang, and Hangzhou, which were the most important places on the Grand Canal, Siyang had copper and iron ore, Hangzhou had silk porcelain, and Cangzhou was the best wharf to the north, and all the water transportation to Goryeo, Liaobei, and even the northwest grasslands had to pass through there, and the Yanguo Mansion had accumulated for several generations in order to operate these wharves.

But Gu Mingzhu is about to pass with a mouth now!

She said she couldn't say anything!

It's just that before she could speak, Gu Mingzhu had already glanced at her and said with a smile: "Madame is afraid that she is reluctant, I persuade Madame to think about it before answering me, if you can't make up your mind, it is better to go back and discuss it and see how to choose." ”

She picked up the teapot, with a hint of impatience between her eyebrows: "It's just that I'm not a person who likes to wait, if the house still hasn't thought about it before noon tomorrow, then I have to do it." ”

Duchess Yan Guo took the maidservant out of the county lord's mansion, her hands and feet trembled, and she sat in the carriage for a long time before she squeezed out a sentence: "Quick, go back to the mansion quickly." ”

On the one hand, it is fate, and on the other hand, it is the financial road that the Yanguo Mansion has worked hard for many years, and she can't sit on the throne how to choose, so she can only go back and listen to the decision of the Yanguo Gong.

Watching the Duchess of Yanguo go out, Abi was a little worried, and brought Gu Mingzhu a hand stove before saying in a low voice: "I'm afraid that the Duchess of Yanguo may not be willing to agree." ”

Although the Yanguo Mansion is a century-old noble family, it is not generous, not to mention that it is necessary to take out so much, I am afraid that I may not be willing to agree, and Gu Mingzhu is just taking advantage of the power of the queen of heaven to do it in private, and I am afraid that it will not be easy to deal with it at that time.

Gu Mingzhu smiled lightly: "No, even if they are reluctant, they also know that compared to raiding the family and destroying the clan, they are still willing to do it with a boat." ”

After all, the boat line is not her industry, if she swallows it in one bite and replaces it all with her own people, I am afraid that not only will it not be good, but it will ruin this livelihood, it is better to let the Yanguo Mansion continue to work, she only needs sixty percent of the profits, so that the Yanguo Mansion will have to do her best to Zhang Luo for her, and it can also help her cover up what she has to do next.

And she did not completely cut off the financial route of the Yanguo Mansion, and the Yanguo Mansion would not be forced to want to break the net, thinking that Feng Xifeng, the Duke of Yanguo, would do it obediently if he figured it out.

Sure enough, early the next morning, the people from the Yanguo Mansion were already waiting outside the gate of the County Lord's Mansion.

It's just that this time it was not the Duchess of Yanguo who came, but a few old stewards who were dignified, carrying a cage in their hands, and came in to kowtow to Gu Mingzhu.

Several stewards through the screen explained in detail the situation and operation methods of the ship, two of them were in charge of the two wharves in Cangzhou and Sizhou, and kowtowed to Gu Mingzhu respectfully, waiting for her orders.

Looking at the account book sent and the deed waiting for her to take effect immediately after she stamped the seal, Gu Mingzhu finally smiled with satisfaction, it seems that after a night of struggle, the Yanguo Mansion still chose to know the current affairs and took out these to save her life.

It couldn't have been better, she got the first thing she wanted.

Next, it's time for the Taishifu.
