Group pet Xiaopangbao: I have four big daddies

Mrs. Qi clicked her tongue: "The Guan family is not a lavish person. How come Miss Guan is so arrogant? One thousand taels is not a small amount, how dare she."

Mrs. Zhan smiled, seeing through but not telling.

"Mother." Qi Yun came over.

Mrs. Qi smiled when she saw her daughter's gentle and good looks.

Ms. Guan is not very good-looking, and her body shape is deceptively fat. It is the most unpleasant thing to see a beautiful woman, and she often gets ridiculed a few times.

"Mrs. Zhan, why don't we go next door to look at the silk? I heard that a batch of fine silk was shipped from Loulan."

"Okay, let's go take a look."

Mrs. Zhan also had this intention and wanted to make some clothes for her granddaughter.

"Walk."

Mrs. Qi and Mrs. Zhan went out side by side.

Qi Yun walked a little slower when she went out. After thinking about it, she returned to the shop and walked to the counter: "Shopkeeper, do you still have the jewelry that the lady bought just now?"

"Gone."

"Are there no more similar materials?"

The shopkeeper shook his head.

"When will it be available?"

"It's hard to say. The set of crystals in our store were bought from other countries. We asked someone to design and polish them. There is only one copy."

Qi Yun's eyes were disappointed, she thanked her and left the shop.

The immortal is drunk.

Ye Qianning got off the carriage and walked towards Xianrenzui with Gu Chi. When she reached the door, she paused slightly and looked up subconsciously.

Next to the window on the fourth floor, there was a figure leaning against him. He was tall and tall, and his handsome face seemed to be a little surprised when he looked at her.

"What's wrong?" Gu Chi turned around.

Ye Qianning looked away: "It's okay."

Entering the restaurant, the waiter led them up to the third floor.

"Qian Ning, are you looking for your second uncle for something?" Gu Chi noticed.

Ye Qianning sat down and said, "Second uncle saw it."

Gu Chi smiled and nodded. Business people are very quick to observe. He knew when the little girl invited him to dinner.

"I would like to ask my second uncle's caravan to help me promote a tea called coffee when they are doing business." She got straight to the point.

"Yes, yes, but what kind of tea is this coffee?" Gu Chi had never heard of it.

"I'll have someone deliver some to Second Uncle later. You can try it first. Coffee is most suitable for business people like Second Uncle to drink. It will refresh you."

"it is good."

"Where did the diamonds on the set of jewelry in my uncle's shop come from?"

"I got it from a black market on the border. The ones I bought were not top-quality, but just some scraps. They could only be polished and molded into earrings and bracelets."

"What's the selling price of top-quality products?"

"The price is sky-high, and these scraps are hard to find."

It was also the first time for Gu Chi to see a crystal-like material, so he bought some out of curiosity.

Ye Qianning passed by a mountain range when she went to Baimuxun before and accidentally discovered a diamond mine. She went to explore it and it was not a big mine. She thought about ordering people to mine it later, but she forgot about it in a hurry.

If she hadn't seen that set of jewelry today, she wouldn't have remembered it.

"If you like it, I'll have someone buy some high-quality ones and ship them back." Seeing her thinking, Gu Chi thought she was caring.

Ye Qianning came to his senses and shook his head: "I discovered a diamond mine before when I was out in the field. It was not mined at that time. Today I was curious about the jewelry in the store and I remembered it."

"Diamond mine?"

Gu Chi was stunned.

Are there diamonds or mines?

He couldn't help but think of coal mines...

"The specific area of ​​the rough diamond veins should not be large, but if they can be collected, polished and sold, they will definitely make a fortune."

Gu Chi could not deny that no matter how small the area was, if it could be produced even if it was the size of a fist, he could make a lot of money by polishing it.

"Indeed, the sources of some of the pieces floating on the black market are unknown. I heard some rumors by chance, saying that these things fell from the sky and were picked up by chance. I don't know whether they are true or not, but there are no rumors of mineral veins."

She understood what Gu Chi meant.

Ye Qianning looked at the diamond carefully when she saw it. The material was the same as the diamond she found.

"I don't know if it comes from the mineral vein you mentioned. I'll write a letter when I get back and let people go and find out more."

"It comes from a place, and it should not be mined. There is a natural poisonous miasma around Fanzhou Mountain. There are no special antidote pills, and ordinary people can't get in. At that time, my father and I were in a hurry to rush to Baimuxun, so we chose to leave Fan Zhoushan." Ye Qianning Gu Chi's suspicion was dispelled.

"If it's not mining, is the rumor that it was picked up true?"

"Nine times out of ten, Fanzhou Mountain is very high, and one side is relatively steep. Some birds build nests on the cliffs in the mountains and like to decorate them with shiny things. After the wind and rain hit the nests, the diamonds fell off. They were very big. It might have rolled to the outskirts of the miasma, and it wouldn't be surprising if someone picked it up."

Gu Chi listened carefully and nodded in understanding.

"Second uncle, are you interested in cooperating?" Ye Qianning asked.

Gu Chi seemed a little stunned and a little surprised: "Cooperation?"

"The places outside the border do not belong to the Shikoku. If we discover them and don't mine them, it will be a natural discovery."

Gu Chi ignored cooperation for a moment when he heard this. He nodded and felt that what Ye Qianning said made sense: "Things on the outside, without owners, can be mined, but mining will definitely require a large number of people. The poisonous miasma you just mentioned really doesn't exist. Problem?"

"If you take detoxification pills once every three days, you can completely pass through the poisonous miasma. Once you go up the mountain, you will be fine."

Gu Chi nodded: "That's good."

"So, second uncle, do you want to cooperate?" Ye Qianning tilted her head and asked again.

Hearing about cooperation again, Gu Chi was shocked again: "What cooperation is Qian Ning talking about?"

"My people are responsible for mining, and my second uncle's people are responsible for polishing and selling. As for the sharing, excluding labor costs, the money earned will be divided into 40 and 60. What do you think of it?"

Forty to six?

Gu Chi was shocked. Four or six points was like pie in the sky...

"Second uncle?"

"Qian Ning, if you want to mine, my second uncle's shop will help you sell it without taking a share." Gu Chi declined.

He honestly didn't expect Ye Qianning to be so generous. Diamonds are sold at extremely high prices on the black market and are rare. The scraps he bought cost thousands of taels. The price of high-quality diamonds is astronomical.

A piece of high-quality diamond is estimated to be enough for the Gu family's profit for several months. If more are mined, the 40% of the profit will probably not be comparable to the Gu family's profit even in its heyday.

How dare he ask for it.

"If my second uncle doesn't agree, I will find other channels and the profit will be 40%."

Ye Qianning knew Gu Chi's character, so she didn't dare to say anything like "five-five". According to estimates, at least a few tons of rough stone could be mined, polished and sold to the four countries. The 40% profit would be enough to bring the Gu family to Beili. The position of the richest man.

Gu Chi opened his mouth and didn't know what to say.

"I think it's better to make the money myself than to get it from outsiders. If my second uncle really doesn't agree, I'll have to find someone else." Ye Qianning sighed slightly as he spoke.

It took Gu Chi a while to recover: "Do you know how much 40% is?"

"know."

"I know you still..."

"Second uncle, please don't refuse, we don't occupy 60%." Ye Qianning interrupted with a smile.

Gu Chi was still a little confused.

In terms of business, she would provide the help, and he would only be responsible for finding craftsmen to polish it and sell it in the shop.

This ratio is more than one in Chengdu.

Ye Qianning actually gave him 40%... "Second Uncle, think about it carefully. If the diamonds are sold in Beili, they must go to the imperial merchants. If not, the private merchants will pay a lot of taxes. Second Uncle Our shop is ready, so why not do it." Seeing that the other party was a little lax, Ye Qianning immediately said: "I don't want to pay taxes to the Beili treasury. My second uncle doesn't agree, so I can only consider Xilun. "

Gu Chi was silent for a while: "I agreed to cooperate, but 40% of the profit is too high, 10% is enough."

"One percent won't work."

"Then..." Gu Chi gritted his teeth: "20%, 20% is fine."

Ye Qianning shook his head.

Gu Chi was in a dilemma. 10% of the profit from the operation was more than the entire income of the Gu family.

"Twenty percent, just two percent."

Ye Qianning wanted to laugh in her heart, but it was precisely because of this that she knew she had not chosen the wrong person.

"Thirty percent." She said calmly.

"Twenty percent."

"Just 30%."

"..."

Those who don’t know think they are competing for some benefit.

One really wants to give it, and the other really doesn’t want it.

A brief moment of silence—

"Thirty percent."

"it is good."

"kindness."

"..."

"puff."

Big eyes faced small eyes, Ye Qianning couldn't hold it back.

"...Haha, hey." Gu Chi couldn't help laughing, and felt a lot more relaxed inside.

The waiter brought the food, which was Xianren Zui’s signature dish.

Ye Qianning picked up the chopsticks: "Second uncle, eat."

Gu Chi visited the shop all morning and was indeed a little hungry. He picked up the chopsticks and added a piece of meat to Ye Qianning first: "Eat more."

"Thank you, uncle."

Gu Chi smiled gently and started eating.

When the food came into my mouth, I didn't know whether it was because I was in a good mood or because Immortal Zui had changed the cook, but it tasted even more delicious than usual.

He raised his eyes slightly and saw the little man opposite him eating bite after bite. The scene was very quiet and beautiful.

He suddenly felt that the feeling of raising a son was really different from that of raising a daughter. The boy in his family was seven years old. He was naughty all the time and was beaten frequently.

When Ye Qianning was a child, she was chubby and very cute. She seemed to be very attached to Xiang Minghou. Xiang Minghou could often be seen walking around the streets holding his daughter, smiling like a fool.

He seemed to understand somewhat now.

I really wish I had a daughter too.

It's a pity that no matter how many children they have for generations, their Gu family has no girls.

It was a harmonious and quiet meal.

Gu Chi said nothing and didn't ask Ye Qianning to pay.

After getting out of Xianrenzui, Gu Chi said a few words to Ye Qianning at the door before getting on his horse and leaving.

Just after having a meal with the little girl, Gu Chi wanted his daughter even more.

Ye Qianning was not in a hurry to go back. She turned around and entered Xianrenzui again. She walked up to the third floor and walked into the first room in the private room area. She raised her hand and knocked on the door.

The door opened and she stepped into the house.

"Dad, why are you drunk on the immortal?" Ye Qianning walked to the table and sat down.

Gu Shuo stepped forward: "I asked about some things with my friends."

"Is it about Master Zhang?"

"Well, the Prince of Changyang gave some news yesterday. Master Zhang's matter is related to the Ministry of History. Those people just said that they saw Master Zhang enter the city with their own eyes two months ago. Later, they were invited by Li Jian, the minister of the Ministry of History, to give him a message in the mansion. The eldest son Li Su became a teacher and never saw Master Zhang again. From Li Dao's mouth, Master Zhang said he felt unwell a few days after entering the palace and left the city to seek medical treatment." Gu Shuo poured out the news.

Minister of History, Ye Qianning knew some personnel information from the information obtained.

Li Qing had two sons. The eldest son, Li Qinghui, was twenty-seven years old. He had served in the Ministry of History for two years. Last year, he was hit by a horse and broke his leg. The second son, Li Qinghui, was seventeen years old. He was as stupid as a pig and wanted to go to Loushan to study. palace.

"It seems that everyone has inquired, but there is no trace of Master Zhang. I have sent people into the Li Mansion and released the news that Master Zhang's death needs to be investigated thoroughly. There should be news soon."

"Just go to any house."

Master Zhang is in charge of Prince Yang, and it will be easy to deal with it when the time comes.

"The group of great scholars in Loushan are also related." Ye Qianning has figured out those hypocritical guys since he went to Loushan last time.

"Have you been to Loushan?"

"I went to Houshan a few days ago and happened to meet He Yuting, who calls himself the dean of Loushan. He has a high-spirited attitude and looks a bit like a great Confucian."

"It's just self-proclaimed. Without the abbot's inheritance, it doesn't count. He can't abbot the priest of Loushan."

"I don't take these people seriously at all."

Gu Shuo nodded, and then thought about what happened just now: "Are you really going to mine the diamonds in Fanzhou Mountain? Didn't you say that this place doesn't waste manpower?"

"Now think about it, no matter how little rats are, they are still meat. The minimum estimate is one ton."

"What's the difference between a three-point profit and a free payment? How could you care about his face?" Gu Shuo rolled his eyes.

"Dad, you don't know, my second uncle is very kind. He gave me two thousand taels of jewelry without even blinking."

"I shouldn't give it to you, but I still called you uncle."

"Dad, the rest of the Gu family haven't bothered you recently."

"I've been here twice, but I was blocked by Gu Zhifeng both times. I don't know if Gu Zhifeng was possessed by an evil spirit or possessed by a ghost." Gu Shuo snorted.

Ye Qianning just shook his head slightly.

My father must have been unable to let go of the time when the three families jointly kicked him out of the Gu family. Even if Gu Zhifeng looked away and acknowledged his mistake, it would not be something that would make people forget him just by admitting his mistake.

It's a bit difficult to untie the knot.

Ye Qianning received a message from the queen when she returned to Xiang's house that day. Three days later, the palace held a flower viewing banquet.

Someone sent the post early in the morning. There happened to be no one in the house. The little eunuch who delivered the post waited for most of the day. When he couldn't wait any longer, he handed the post to the housekeeper.

Ye Qianning raised her eyes and took a look. After five days in the city, they couldn't help themselves anymore.

Emperor Beili must also know why the secret Jianghu people have been hovering around the periphery of the mansion.

Although the dozens of people in the dark are not on the same line, they all have the same purpose of surrounding them, to protect them secretly.

I don’t know if Beili Emperor’s people got Fengling Jiao from them.

"Miss, this is the post that was delivered to me today." The housekeeper delivered two copies of the post.

Ye Qianning raised her hand and threw the Queen's post aside, and opened another one, which was Fu Cheng's post. He would hold a grand banquet in his new mansion in seven days.

The entire capital should have received posts like this.

"Go prepare pen and ink."

Ye Qianning walked into the hall.

Throwing the post on the table, Fu Cheng was personally named Marquis of Yong'an by the emperor. Almost everyone in the capital knew about it, but they didn't know how many people came to congratulate him.

I don't know what came to mind, but a trace of amusement flashed in Ye Qianning's eyes.
