Chapter 24 24 The Wasteful Little Master
The day after Gu Hua and Su Fuying's meeting with Gu Chen.
Gu Chen took the 50,000 taels of wealth given by his cousin and went to Jiangnan with Mu Lei, Mu Yu and his gang.
Gu Hua and Su Fuying sat in a teahouse, watching people coming and going on the street. The Wan family's shop opposite was crowded.
However, his own silk shop, which was only a few hundred meters away, was deserted.
But the way he sells, the more he sells, the more he loses.
By chance, they ran into Wan Jingui, the head of the Wan family, and some other wealthy and prominent businessmen in Jiangzhou City. As if they had made an appointment beforehand, they all came to this teahouse to drink tea.
"Hey, isn't this Young Master Gu?" A square-faced wealthy businessman said jokingly, "I heard that you are selling your shop. If you want to sell it someday, could you consider selling it to me first?"
"Hmph!" Wan Jingui's fat face trembled, and he hummed softly, expressing his displeasure. He lifted his sleeves, revealing five large gold rings on his fingers, looking extremely rich.
With a sinister look in his eyes, Wan Jingui said coldly: "If you want to eat something ready-made, Boss Wang is not afraid of choking."
The others who originally wanted to say hello to Gu Hua, who was squandering her family's property, and were interested in buying her family's property, saw that the head of the Wan family was determined to get this piece of fat meat from the Gu family.
Knowing that they were no match for Gu Hua in strength, they all walked past her pretending not to see her. She was a useless person who could not make any money from her. The shrewd and profit-seeking wealthy businessmen thought it was unnecessary to even look at her.
"Master Gu, I advise you to sell those shops to me as soon as possible. I can still offer you a high price now.
If they are forced to close down and go bankrupt, I am afraid those shops can only be sold at the price of rotten cabbage."
"Don't worry." Gu Hua said with no emotion on his face.
"Humph! Let's see how long you can keep being stubborn," Wan Jingui's eyes were sinister, with a sneer on his face, "There will be a time when you will beg me."
After saying this, he turned around and left, as if he had already anticipated that one day Gu Hua would have to beg him to buy his shop.
Su Fuying: "Young Master, how about we change to another one..."
"Why do you want to change?" Gu Hua: "Didn't you say that the snacks here are delicious?"
Gu Hua seemed unaffected and drank a pot of good tea and ate a plate of cakes before leaving.
"Su Fuying, I'm leaving for Saibei tomorrow. You've always been careful and steady in your work, so I'll leave this part of the house to you."
"Don't worry, young master. As long as Gu Chen uses the money to bring the goods back, I can accompany the Wan family to play until you come back from Saibei."
Gu Hua frowned slightly, and after thinking for a while, he said, "I will be gone for at least half a year, or even longer.
If the shop is really short of funds, go to the housekeeper Fu Bo in the mansion. I will ask him to sell some valuable things in the mansion to make up for it first. The most important thing is to get through the current difficulties."
"Okay." Su Fuying hesitated for a moment, and finally took out a small stack of banknotes from her bosom, "You used most of the money to purchase goods.
Tomorrow you will take the Gu family guards, strong servants, and people picked up from the shop to form a temporary caravan to go to the northern frontier.
Poor family, rich road, you can use this money for freight."
Gu Hua met Su Fuying's sincere eyes and did not refuse, "This one thousand taels of silver is probably all your savings over the years.
If I don’t make money this time, I will find a way to return the money to you. If I do make money, I will consider it as your investment and give you dividends in due time.”
Su Fuying smiled and nodded, "Whatever you say is what I'll do."
Gu Hua: "..." Why does this sound so awkward? She is still a man now, she is not interested in sharing peaches and having children.
Gu Hua separated from Su Fuying and returned home.
She saw her uncle Gu Jiqing, her aunt Miao and her daughter who looked obviously unhappy, Gu Hua's cousin in this body, and Gu Yun's family of three were all sitting in the hall waiting for her.
"Hua'er is back."
"Uncle, when did you come?" Gu Hua looked at Butler Fu, "Why didn't you send a servant to inform me?"
Gu Jiqing stopped him and said, "Don't blame Steward Fu. It was me who didn't let him send someone to look for you, which delayed your work."
"Hmph!" Miao glared at her husband angrily.
Gu Jiqing looked at his wife who snorted coldly to express her dissatisfaction, and a hint of helplessness flashed in his eyes.
He picked up a wooden box from the side and handed it to Gu Hua, saying, "Hua'er, your fourth grandfather learned that there was a problem with the business here, so he asked me to give this to you."
Gu Hua looked at the rosewood box with exquisite carvings, but did not take it immediately. She could probably guess what was inside without opening it.
Just look at the two bills on the hands of my aunt and her daughter, which clearly show their desire to snatch them back. And the size of the box, it should contain most of the banknotes that the fourth family has accumulated over the years.
"Don't listen to what people say. How can you make money doing business?" Gu Hua said, "Uncle, please go back and thank Fourth Grandpa for me. I will visit him when I come back from this trip."
Gu Jiqing handed the wooden box to the ground and said, "Hua'er, just take it..."
"Hurry up and bring it here!" Miao snatched the box from her husband's hand and held it in her arms, saying with a fake smile: "Didn't I hear Huaer say that she doesn't lack money for her business?"
"Even if you don't have this little bit of money, it won't help much. If she loses it, our whole family will have to starve."
"That's right, Dad." Gu Yun glanced at his cousin Gu Hua with disdain, thinking that she was a loser in business, so why should his family have to pay for it.
If it weren't for her cousin Gu Hua, who instigated her grandfather and father to leave the family, she wouldn't have been isolated by the sisters in the clan when she went out.
Gu Hua smiled and did not express any dissatisfaction towards the Miao mother and daughter.
It is normal for a woman to think more about her family, but she is a little short-sighted. However, it is not a big problem for a woman in the inner house.
However, girls who are brought up in this way cannot enter the backyard of powerful and wealthy families, otherwise they will harm others and themselves.
Gu Jiqing lowered his head in shame. The reason why their family was able to save so much money was because of the money they earned from the two shops that the Sixth Room had given them.
"Hurry and bring it to Huaer."
Miao was unwilling to refuse and said, "They have already said that they don't need your little money, why are you still thinking of taking advantage of them?"
Gu Hua was a little tired after walking for a day and didn't want to see the couple quarreling in front of him, so he tried to persuade them to calm down. He also rejected his cousin's kindness and politely sent the family of three away.
Then she met Dagui, the eldest son of housekeeper Fu, who was accompanying her to Saibei this time.
Fang Kuan, who was promoted because of Gu Hua's appreciation at the last county party, and Yan Minghua, who had a lame leg, volunteered to go after hearing that the other accountants in the northern border were unwilling to go because of the bitter cold there.
The packed and sorted goods from various stores have been loaded onto the truck and tied up with ropes, ready to go at Gu Hua's command the next day.
