Chapter 5, Birth

In a blink of an eye, it is the fifteenth day of the first month, Yuezhou is located in the south of the Yangtze River, it is the economic hub of Dongliang, and it is very rich. The Shangyuan Festival is also very extravagant.

After dinner, Gu Ziyue took Mama Wen and Shijin to the street. On the one hand, on the one hand, it is to join in the excitement and get the joy of the Yuan Festival, on the other hand, Gu Ziyue's mother's dowry has now all been classified under Gu Ziyue's name, in addition, Gu Jue also put the twelve shops in the Western Han Dynasty under the name of Gu Fu in the Western Han Dynasty, and the three houses in the suburbs of the Western Han Dynasty were all under Gu Ziyue's name.

Yuezhou has three treasures, tea, silk, porcelain. Half of the tea in the world comes from the Yuezhou area, and half of the tea in Yuezhou comes from the Tianxiang Pavilion and Biluoshe in Gufu. And Gu Jue also made a big deal this time, handing over the Tianxiang Pavilion under the name of the Gu Mansion to Gu Ziyue, so the first thing Gu Ziyue investigated was the Tianxiang Pavilion.

At the time of the cold spring, the Tianxiang Pavilion served all the winter tea of last year, but the inventory was not running out, because during the New Year's Festival, all the prefectures purchased a large amount of tea to prepare for the needs of the guests.

"Miss, I have checked the accounts of Tianxiang Pavilion, at the end of last year, I gave a large number of new winter tea to the Li Mansion, you must know that our Tianxiang Pavilion has always only sold good tea, but this batch of tea sent out has not been recorded, that is to say, it is sent for free. ”

Gu Ziyue frowned, entered the store, and immediately greeted Xiao Er and asked, "How many girls are there?"

"This is Miss Gu Fu, don't you call your shopkeeper out soon. Shijin sighed.

The little two were stunned, and hurriedly lifted the curtain and left. After a while, a young man came out, his appearance was very good, his eyes were clean, and he saw that Gu Ziyue did not become very groveling, but had a look that was neither humble nor arrogant.

"Under Gu Feng, I don't know what the girl commands?"

"Childe is polite, I am Gu Ziyue from Gu Mansion, I just took over Tianxiang Pavilion not long ago, I hope to find Childe to understand the situation. ”

Gu Feng thought for a moment and said, "Girl, please go upstairs to the private room." On the pot of heaven and color. He turned around and instructed Xiao Er again.

"Childe can be in charge of one of the largest industries in my Gu Mansion at such a young age, he is really young and promising. ”

"The girl praised falsely, the father under him is the real shopkeeper of Tianxiang Pavilion, but he has been caught in the cold in recent days, and I will take care of him for a few days. ”

"Is Childe the son of my Gu Mansion?"

"Exactly, Aunt Bai of the Gu Mansion has a little favor to my mother, and my mother has it in her heart, so we have been helping the Gu Mansion take care of Tianxiang Pavilion for more than ten years. ”

"That being the case, it must be that more than ten years of care, regardless of returns, have already paid off the favor. Since your father has suffered from the cold, his body must be not as good as before, and now that Tianxiang Pavilion has been transferred to my name, I think that the son must have a good fortune, why not replace you to take over the affairs of Tianxiang Pavilion, and at the same time remove the slave status for your family, as for the deed of sale, it should also be returned to you, from now on, Tianxiang Pavilion's profits, you can take a share of what you should get, how about it?"

Gu Feng glanced at Gu Ziyue deeply and did not agree immediately.

Gu Ziyue smiled lightly, "You don't have to worry about anything, I've always done what I say, tomorrow I will send someone to send you a specific one, if you think it's feasible, just sign it, even if you reach an agreement, you will work for me in the future, and I will pay you money, just do it." “

"Let's discuss it with my father. “

"That's natural, but before the agreement comes into effect, I still have to do something for me. “

"The girl might as well speak up. “

"At the end of last year, the tea sent to the Li Mansion has not yet been settled, and I hope that the prince will settle the account clearly, and go to the Li family to let them settle the account, how about it?"

"It's up to you, girl, don't worry. “

After solving the matter of Tianxiang Pavilion, Gu Ziyue was obviously very happy, and transferred a few more stores, feeling that Aunt Bai was not bad in the end, and several stores were profitable, which was also very rare. Just when Gu Ziyue was about to return home, someone from Agarwood Pavilion invited her over.

Gu Ziyue frowned, feeling deeply uneasy, always feeling that something bad had happened.

When he arrived at the Agarwood Pavilion, Qin Feng had been waiting on the second floor for a long time, and when he saw Gu Ziyue, he was busy saluting.

"Sir, don't be polite, is there anything important?"

"It's really abrupt to disturb in the middle of the night, but this matter is serious, and I hope the girl will come up with a foolproof solution. I just received an urgent report that Mrs. Li had entered Yuezhou yesterday, with only two maidservants, and today, the third son of the Li family also came to Yuezhou, and Mrs. Li was not staying in the same place. “

"The third son of the Li family is from a concubine, and he has never been seen in the Li family, this time they came to Yuezhou, they must be coming for my birthday, so what are they planning?"

"The personal maid Cailian next to the eldest lady of the Li family is the deepest chess piece buried in the Li Mansion in our Agarwood Pavilion, Mrs. Li knew that the girl could not marry into the Li family, so she decided to use dirty means, tomorrow's girl's birthday, you must pay attention to the things at the entrance, Aunt Bai in your house has always had dealings with the eldest lady of the Li family, and the girl has to be guarded against, and don't appear alone tomorrow, the maid must not leave. “

"Hmph, it seems that the Li family is in a hurry to jump off the wall, and they plan to overlord the bow, I don't know if the third son of the Li family is clear about this matter. Well, whether he knows it or not, he hasn't had a few better days. “

"Girl, are you going to send someone to kill him?"

"No, he is very important, if you can use him to bring down Aunt Bai and Gu Zixuan, it will also be a good deal. Gu Ziyue smiled coldly and continued, "I also hope that Mr. will give me a skilled maid in case I need it." “

"This boy has already commanded. After that, a woman was called in, and the woman was very delicate, and her gestures had her own charm. "Girl, this is Wuying, the best woman in our Agarwood Pavilion's martial arts, but she has a rather cold personality and is not good at words. Obsessed with transfiguration. “

"Wuying, this is Miss Gu, your future master. ”

The woman humbly bowed. Gu Ziyue said with a smile: "Girl, please get up, don't be polite." From now on, how about you follow me and call me a shadow?"

"A name is just a code name, so you can do anything. “

Gu Ziyue nodded with satisfaction and turned to Qin Feng: "Has your son-in-law received the will?"

"Rest assured, girl, everything is going well in Beijing, the will will will arrive tomorrow, the emperor canonized you as the lord of Jiahe, scheduled to marry on March 24. “

"It's so urgent, let's deal with tomorrow's birthday first. “

The next day was Gu Ziyue's birthday, Gu Ziyue got up very early, and after Mama Wen groomed her, she changed into a peach-pink dress, and her face was really gorgeous.

"Mama Wen, you send the news out first, just say that the eldest son of the Li family is also coming today, remember, you must let Gu Zixuan hear it. ”

Gu Ziyue knew in her last life that Gu Zixuan was interested in the eldest son of the Li family, and she also held a grudge against Gu Ziyue because Gu Ziyue married in the past. Hmph, since she wants to marry, Gu Ziyue won't let her get her wish.

"The third son of the Li family has always been lustful, but he pretended to be dignified, and today, he simply let him look foreign. Come here. ”

Since Mrs. Li wants to marry my Gu Mansion's daughter so much, let's send one over. Gu Ziyue arranged this morning's play and went to the front hall for dinner.

Gu Ziyue came to accompany Gu Du for dinner today, which is considered to be the last bit of filial piety, although Gu Du is a successful businessman, but in terms of governing the family, he is really a loser, whether it is to let the concubine room become bigger, or to ignore Gu Ziyue for many years after the death of the lady in the main room, if you want to say what serious things he has done, for Gu Ziyue, there are probably only two, not to straighten Aunt Bai is counted as one, and to hand over Tianxiang Pavilion to his concubine is counted as the second one, in addition, Gu Zhu really makes Gu Ziyue very sad.

"Yue'er, you're here. ”

"My father still got up so early. Gu Ziyue replied with a smile, faintly between her eyebrows, looking a little gentle, but a little indifferent, which was unpredictable.

After breakfast, Gu Ziyue left the front hall, and when she left, Gu Jue's words in her mind made her unforgettable.

"Yue'er, you will marry into the Western Han Dynasty royal family in the future, it will be a very difficult road, even if you are wronged over there, I am afraid that there is no one to speak, since the prince of the Western Han Dynasty can be the prince of a country, it must be very means, I am sorting out the property of our Gu Mansion these days, I will be a grandson of you, in the past few years, because of Aunt Bai, I have neglected to take care of you, and I am also very guilty of being a father, when you get married, we will give you half of the property of Gu Mansion, and the other half will be left to Xuanxuan and the unfilial son, even if he is no longer successful, he is, after all, the only son of his father, Yue'er, you have more in your hands, and it is better to go over there, Yue'er, This is your path, since you have chosen to go this way, I have no other way but to support you, I just wish you a safe and smooth second half of your life. Yue'er, you must be strong and take good care of yourself. ”

Gu Ziyue closed her eyes, no matter how ruthless she was, no matter how much resentment she had towards Gu Jue, she couldn't help but be very sad when she knew that the days they spent together could be counted.

Just after breakfast, there were guests arriving one after another, most of them were businessmen who had business dealings with the Gu Mansion, and of course there were also politicians who heard the rumors, which had to admire Mrs. Yan's ability, she could say a few words no matter who she met, and the atmosphere was very lively.

"Auntie, I have other things to do today, and if anyone asks about me, you can tell me that I went to the back garden. ”

Mrs. Yan glanced at her and chuckled: "What kind of wishful thinking is the little girl?"

"Naturally, it's a good thing, my aunt doesn't need to know, just wait to see a good show, as for the mess, just keep it and let Aunt Bai clean it up." ”

Mrs. Yan smiled and waved her hand to let her go. Gu Ziyue returned to the Red Snow Pavilion, left the brocade in the outer courtyard, and told her to notify Mrs. Li immediately when she arrived, and at the same time let the shadow stay in the back garden, if she saw Li Sangongzi coming, she would be stunned and arrested.

In this way, Gu Ziyue arranged a good show, and waited to lure Gu Zixuan over.

Mrs. Li arrived near noon, and when she saw it, she immediately returned to the Red Snow Pavilion, and Gu Ziyue immediately came back when she heard it, and it happened that Shiying also came back at this time.

"What about people?"

"It's been placed in a secret hut in the bamboo forest in the back garden, and I've lit incense and aphrodisiacs. ”

Gu Ziyue set off immediately, the reason why she chose the back garden was because she had to pass through Gu Zixuan's yard to reach the back garden, since this was the case, when the time came, Gu Zixuan would definitely feel that she had something unsightly to do, and she would definitely go to find out in person.

Sure enough, when Gu Ziyue entered the bamboo forest, she found that Gu Zixuan had already entered the back garden, and at this time, she picked up the shadow and knocked Gu Zixuan unconscious, because she was afraid of being discovered by Gu Ziyue, Gu Zixuan came alone, and her maid went to the front yard to inform Aunt Bai.

When Aunt Bai heard the maidservant's advice, she first smiled coldly, then pretended to be very frightened, and fainted directly. Everyone hurriedly gathered around, and Mrs. Yan found two maids and sent her back to Biyun House, and personally asked Gu Zixuan's maid what had happened.

"Slave, slave and maid dare not say it. ”

"But it doesn't matter, with me, I'll be in charge of you. “

"Today is the birthday banquet of the eldest lady, but the eldest lady has not been in the front hall to entertain guests, today my young lady is about to come to the front yard after freshening up, I saw a person very similar to the eldest lady hurriedly passed from my young lady's yard, my young lady was puzzled, ready to stop the person to ask, who knew that the person went very fast, my young lady chased all the way to the back garden, unexpectedly, I didn't see the eldest lady in a private meeting with a man. “

"Presumptuous, if you dare to tell the truth, today, you just wait for your head to hit the ground. “

"The slave maid is true, my young lady is still in the back garden, if you don't believe it, you might as well go and take a look. “

Mrs. Yan was even more angry at this time, but she didn't dare to make any decisions, and just as she was waiting at this time, Shijin came to the front yard.
