Mama Han had been waiting in front of the Dongfu Gate for a long time, tiptoeing and looking outside the market from time to time, her face was full of anticipation, until she saw the carriage coming towards this side, she couldn't help but smile on her face, and walked up quickly to meet it.

"The lady is back, and she has been wronged in Zhuangzi these days." Mama Han looked at Gu Mingzhu, her eyes were full of love and concern.

Gu Mingzhu smiled and helped Abi's men get out of the carriage, and said to Mama Han: "It's been hard work these days, is the house okay?" ”

Mama Han nodded again and again: "Okay, good." ”

She suddenly remembered something, and said in a low voice: "Yesterday, the second lady of Xifu asked someone to bring a message, saying that if the lady comes back, go to the house over there to see her, she has something to say to the lady." ”

Gu Mingzhu smiled slightly and nodded: "I'll go to Xifu later." ”

It's time to do the math, Mao is afraid that he is in a hurry to see her and talk about things in the shop.

It's just that she didn't expect that the Mao family was really in a hurry, and less than a moment after Gu Mingzhu arrived in the house, the Mao family hurriedly came over when they got the news.

"The eldest lady is back, I've been looking forward to it early and late these days, and I'm finally looking forward to you back." Mao is now wearing a red soft leno dress, and she is wearing a red gold and emerald head on her head, she looks like a noble lady, and even her laughter is much higher.

Gu Mingzhu politely gave her tea, and said with a smile: "The second aunt is here, she is not in the house these days, and the second aunt Lao is taking care of her in the house, which is really hard." ”

Mao proudly gathered his hair and sideburns, looking indifferent: "It's just a matter of cooking, and it's not too difficult to take care of the shop and grange, and I don't know who our eldest lady used to do every day without touching the ground." ”

Gu Mingzhu pursed her lips and smiled: "Is the old lady okay?" I'll go and greet her as soon as I'm ready. ”

Mao's son didn't have the heart to greet Gu Mingzhu more, and said impatiently: "Okay, I just called Mingyue to talk." ”

Gu Mingzhu's eyes were rolling, all of them were smiling, Old Madam Gu was only afraid that she was still worried about Gu Mingyue marrying into the Xianwang Mansion, but she didn't want to think about what the Luo family has become like now, and the Luo family was also locked up in the side courtyard by her, how could Gu Mingyue and Gu Mingyu not be affected, they were all laughing at them in the noble mansion outside, how could they be married in the palace.

Mao couldn't wait to continue: "I came to tell you something, it's our shop's business. ”

The shop was originally bought by Gu Mingzhu who asked Xifu to use the money and silver from Dongfu, and her name was also on the deed, Gu Yuan and the Mao couple just helped take care of it, but the Mao family had already regarded the shop as their own, not only did they not discuss with Gu Mingzhu, but even the money and silver earned from selling a cart of spices before were not sent over.

Gu Mingzhu was not annoyed, and smiled: "Since the shop has invited the second uncle and the second aunt to take care of it, it is natural to ask the two of you to bother, so you don't have to ask me anything." ”

A look of a shopkeeper.

Mao rubbed his hands, looking a little embarrassed, but he said: "It's not for the shop, it's ...... I'm here to ask you if you have any cash left in the East Mansion, so I got together the money and went to buy the more than ten carts of spices. ”

"More than ten carts of spices?" Gu Mingzhu's eyes widened, and she looked surprised.

Mao Shi hurriedly said: "Mingzhu, you have also seen, we only bought a cart of spices in the shop before, and when we sold it, we earned back double the money, the old lady discussed with your second uncle, if you can do a few more such transactions, are you afraid that there is no money and silver available in the house?" It's that you ladies have a lot more money in fat powder. ”

"Your second uncle has asked people to inquire, and the last time we recovered our spices were sent to the palace, how many of them were collected in the Western Regions Spice Palace."

Mao's eyebrows fluttered when he said: "It's really a coincidence, the Bao Dalang that your second uncle recognized happened to get the news, and another team of Hu merchants came from Annan and brought more than ten carts of spices, as long as these spices can be taken down and sent to the palace, how much silver will it be!" ”

Gu Mingzhu looked at Mao in a daze: "That, that......"

I didn't say a charter for a long time, and I looked like I couldn't be the master.

Mao smiled contemptuously in his heart, this lady of the Gu family said that her status is noble and she has a good appearance, but she is an embroidered pillow, and she can't even make up her mind about it.

There was a gentle smile on her face: "The old lady also thinks it is good when she hears it, so she plans to take advantage of the fact that no one knows about it yet, and quickly put these spices down, but you can't put such a good thing in the hands of others in vain." It's just that those more than ten carts of spices are not cheap, and I heard that they are the rarest Annan Quero incense, which costs 10,000 gold! ”

She looked embarrassed: "You also know, although our house looks at the big business, but there are some grange shops, where is there so much cash, and there is less to get around, so I thought I would ask you, can I ...... in this Xifu?"

Her gaze wandered around the gorgeous hall, falling on the precious ornaments, and it was difficult to hide the greed in her eyes.

Gu Mingzhu looked like he had just come back to his senses: "Second aunt, you also know, over the years, the money and silver in my East Mansion and the title deeds of the Grange are all over the West Mansion, even if you want to spend it on weekdays, you have to go to the West Mansion to inform you, where will there be any cash and silver, and there are only these things left in the house......

Just when Mao's eyes lit up and he was about to speak, he heard Gu Mingzhu's words and stuffed them: "But these are my aunt's dowries, and there are a number of dowries in the palace, or royal gifts, I'm afraid I can't send them out in exchange for money." ”

She said and lowered her voice again: "The last time I entered the palace to see her, the queen of heaven also asked about A-Niang's marriage, saying that she was an old friend with A-Niang in the past, and many of them were also seen by Niang. ”

Mao originally expected her to use a few valuable objects to pawn for cash, after all, the splendor of this mansion in the East Mansion was in vain, but Gu Mingzhu said it so seriously, she couldn't say that the palace was really worried about the marriage of the eldest princess of Xuanyang, and she didn't dare to think about it anymore after all.

It's just that she is worried after all, there is still a few thousand gold shorts of money and silver this time, and there is no way to move so much on the Grange shop, where should she go to make up this hurry?

Gu Mingzhu looked at her worried appearance, smiled lightly, and said in a low voice: "Second aunt is in a hurry, there is still a considerate person in our house, why did you forget it?" ”

Mao was stunned: "Who else?" ”

Old Madam Gu took out all the body she had hidden for many years, or Gu Yuan promised that once she made money, she would inevitably double her and be fooled into honoring the old lady, the money and silver in the public account had been emptied, where was there anyone who had money and silver.

Gu Mingzhu smiled softly: "Our eldest lady originally had forty-eight wedding scenery into the mansion, and she has been in charge of the family for so many years, and even the head of the mother's family is red gold inlaid with treasures, how can she not have a self-conscious." ”
