Chapter 42: Who Fell into Who's Trap

The most prosperous in Chang'an City is the east and west cities, compared with the hustle and bustle of the west market, the east market seems to be more atmospheric, and the purchase of Chang'an Guifu is in this place.

Mao sat in the carriage and opened the curtain and stared at the row of green tiles and gray walls in the water, without even revealing most of his face.

Ah Bi frowned, turned sideways and blocked Gu Mingzhu, complaining in her heart that the Mao family had no rules at all.

Gu Mingzhu didn't care much, and said with a smile: "Second aunt, here are all wine shops and tea shops, and there are silk and jewelry shops in front, let's go there and take a look." ”

Mao nodded again and again, already full of joy.

She went to Mrs. Gu early in the morning, and was thinking about finding a reason to talk to Gu Mingzhu alone, but she heard Gu Mingzhu say that she would accompany her to Dongshi to choose clothes to make a few new dresses.

This really taught her to be more happy, she followed Gu Yuan all the way to Chang'an, only a few old dresses with her, not even a little valuable jewelry, she had already pawned Gu Yuan to pay off her gambling debts.

When she entered the General's Mansion, she found that even the maidservants with a good face were dressed better than her, where did she still have face.

She smiled and took Gu Mingzhu's hand: "Yesterday, I thought that our eldest lady was born with a beautiful appearance and a good appearance, but now I know that she is still a heart." ”

Gu Mingzhu listened to her praise, pursed her lips and smiled, but quickly smiled, frowned and whispered: "The second uncle and the second aunt only came to Chang'an, and they originally did their best, but they just ...... I can't help it. ”

Her voice was low and cut, as if she had many unspeakable pains.

Mao waited for her to mention this, his face flashed with color, he cleared his throat, and looked concerned: "You child, since I am your second aunt, if there is anything I can't say to me, you can talk about it, I'll see if there is anything I can help you decide, and your second uncle and I will never care." ”

Gu Mingzhu bit her lip, looked up at Mao aggrievedly, and didn't say anything for a long time.

Mao waited for a long time and didn't see her speak, and he was impatient.

She sighed and shook her head: "Actually, if you don't say it, I also know, the eldest princess left early, leaving you and a lot of family wealth, and your grandfather is patrolling and training all day long, even if there is anything, it can't be taken care of." ”

She looked serious: "No matter how good the lady of Xifu is, she is not your mother after all, where can she think so carefully for you, many grange shops and silver coins in Dongfu are in her hands, but I am afraid that when it is really time to use it, it may not be ......."

She deliberately stopped, and sighed again.

Speaking of those family wealth, Mao's heart seemed to be scratched, but she inquired clearly, there were more than 20 big Zhuangzi, more than 1,000 acres of Tianzi fields, and more than 10 shops, which were huge and rich that Mao couldn't imagine.

She had already made up her mind, and if she wanted to do her best to get the family wealth of Dongfu back from Luo's hands, at that time, as long as she encircled Gu Mingzhu, a little girl who had no opinions, she would have to spend those family wealth.

Gu Mingzhu kept lowering her eyebrows, her long eyelashes trembled slightly, and she said softly: "But I can't help it." ”

Mao smiled and said, "You can rest assured, your second uncle and I will help you, you just listen to me." ”

Gu Mingzhu raised her head and looked at the Mao family in some shock, and it took a long time before Nuo Nuo said, "Yes, then I will listen to the second aunt." ”

That's right, Mao let go of Gu Mingzhu's hand with satisfaction, everything came according to her plan, it seems that this Chang'an is really a good place.

As soon as the carriage stopped, Mao couldn't wait to open the curtain and get out of the car, looked up at the gold plaque of Tianxiangfang, and then looked at the colorful and dazzling brocade cloth in the fang, and the light in his eyes couldn't stop it.

She turned her head sharply, and said to Gu Mingzhu, who was helping Abi's men to get out of the carriage and put on a hat: "Let's go in and take a look, I also want to pick out a few pieces of clothing to make a few outer robes for your second uncle." ”

Gu Mingzhu said with a smile: "The second aunt just goes in and picks it up, when she came, Mrs. had already said that today's clothes were all counted in the accounts of Xifu." ”

In fact, it was not Luo's reluctance, it was Gu Mingzhu who opened his mouth in front of Mrs. Gu and Gu Yuan, saying that he would accompany the Mao family to buy some clothes in the East Market and make a few new clothes for Gu Yuan and the Mao family.

Mrs. Gu felt sorry for Gu Yuan the most, and when she saw him in an old robe yesterday, she was very dissatisfied with Mao's family, blaming her for not even being able to serve and wronging her son.

Hearing Gu Mingzhu say this, he nodded and instructed her to accompany the Mao family over and pick out some good materials for Gu Yuan to make a few new robes. Luo is the most discerning, and said with a busy smile, just hang it on the account of Xifu.

Mao pouted, still didn't miss her good, thinking about the public account money, Luo was just a good seller, and she couldn't buy as much clothing as she wanted.

It's just that since it's white, she has to pick more and throw away all the tattered dresses brought by Qingzhou.

She was about to go in proudly, but Gu Mingzhu said again: "The second aunt will go and pick it up first, let Ah Bi accompany the second aunt." I also have to go to the bookstore over there to buy a few volumes of Jin Xuan, and come over to pick up clothes for my aunt later. ”

Mao glanced at the bookstore not far away, nodded with interest, she also knew that these ladies in Chang'an Guifu were the most exquisite, they all loved to dance and write ink, and even the paper, pen and ink used were very precious.

Gu Mingzhu watched Mao's enter Tianxiangfang, and then took Xiaokui to the bookstore.

Xiao Kui secretly looked back at the Mao clan who had flown into Tianxiangfang, stuck out her tongue, and said in a low voice: "Lady, the second lady is really scary to look at." ”

She has never seen such a noble lady, on weekdays, the ladies in Chang'an Guifu are all noble and dignified, and their manners are modest, where is there such a green light when they see something valuable.

Gu Mingzhu remembered Mao's appearance, laughed without holding her back, and nodded Xiaokui's forehead: "That's the second lady, don't talk nonsense." ”

Xiao Kui pouted: "The lady really wants to buy Jin Xuan?" But we still have a few volumes in our house. ”

Gu Mingzhu smiled silently, and walked forward with her in the bustling Dongshi market, passing by the bookstore and not entering, but walked to a shop with a closed door and red stickers, stopped and looked carefully.

"Lady, are you going to ...... Rent a shop? Xiaokui was a little confused, the shop in front of her had been closed, waiting to be rented.

Gu Mingzhu nodded and looked at the shop in silence.

The shop looks ordinary, and the closed doors are even a little mottled, but there is really nothing special about it. It's just that she knows that this place will soon become the most prosperous pawnshop in Chang'an, and even many noble mansions in Chang'an will quietly come here to pledge when they are short of cash.

If it weren't for the secret guards of the Xianwang Mansion who noticed that this pawn shop was secretly collecting the secrets of this mansion and was a secret place, no one would have thought that such a pawn shop would be such a place.

Her eyes wandered, revealing coldness, and now the opportunity was in front of her, and she was going to take over the shop.

"Go and see what is written on the red sticker, and think about taking this shop down." Gu Mingzhu commanded Xiao Kui softly.

Xiao Kui was stunned and walked up to look at the red sticker posted in front of the door.

"This lady wants to rent a shop?" Behind Gu Mingzhu, someone spoke, "This shop has just been taken down by our Lang Jun." ”

Gu Mingzhu turned around, only to see a handsome young servant respectfully talking to her, and a carriage was parked not far behind him, and someone in the carriage looked at her with a curtain.
