Chapter 185: It feels good to be rich

Xiaocui rushed back to Zhilanyuan.
"Girl, good news."
As the weather warmed up gradually, Gu Jiu wore a thin spring coat and leaned on the soft body.
The window was open, and a cool wind blew up from the window, causing the hair on the sideburns to be messed up.
She raised her hand and pinned the loose hair behind her ear.
Holding a copy of the official history in his hand, I have read a third of it.
Xiao Cui had a loud voice, and Qingmei hissed at her.
"Be quiet, the girl is reading a book."
Xiao Cui hurriedly lowered her voice, and said to Qingmei first: "Sister Qingmei, the palace has posted a post, please go to the palace for a banquet in six days."
"really?"
Xiao Cui nodded, "It is true. The steward of the invitation from the palace will still be in the outer courtyard, and the steward Gu Quan will greet you."
Qiaomei asked again: "Does the madam know?"
Xiao Cui said, "My wife already knows. I heard that the palace not only invited his wife, but also the big wife."
Qingmei's expression was a little serious, "The palace post, it is estimated that the princess wants to see the girl."
"The marriage between the girl and the son Zhao has already been set, and even the date of the wedding has been set. How does the princess see each other?"
Xiao Cui asked curiously.
Qingmei glanced at her, "You don't understand."
Being a mother-in-law and seeing your future daughter-in-law is so simple.
Qingmei walked into the study and came to Gu Jiu's side.
Gu Jiu turned the pages of the book and said, "You and Xiao Cui were whispering outside, what did you say?"
Qingmei squatted down and whispered: "Enjoy girl, the palace has posted a post and invited the masters to a banquet in six days."
"is it?"
Qingmei nodded, very worried, "The slave-maid guessed, this time the banquet, the princess and the empress wanted to see the girl."
"Just watch, what are you worried about?"
"The servant girl is worried that the princess is not satisfied with the girl."
Gu Jiu closed the book and said: "I am not a treasure of gold and silver, and it is impossible for everyone to like it. If the princess likes me or not, I will marry the emperor. This matter cannot be changed under the imperial decree."
Gu Jiu hopes to change the imperial edict and don't let her marry Liu Zhao.
However, she doesn't have that much energy. Now she is just an ordinary boudoir girl, and her right to speak is limited to Gu's house, and it is also very limited.
Once, Gu Jiu wanted to visit the relationship between adults and strengthen his right to speak in the mansion. Plan carefully for your marriage and future.
In the northwest, the effect was pretty good.
After returning to the capital, especially when she pointed out the marriage to Liu Zhao, Master Gu didn't know why, so she stopped asking her to talk to her.
This year, Gu Jiu read all kinds of history books and asked Er Zhuang to inquire about the news in Beijing. But she couldn't find the opportunity to display it at all, and she was also a fuss.
And Gu Jiu also discovered that Master Gu's idea is actually quite old-fashioned.
Although it does not mean that a woman is ignorant, she does not want the girl's family to be too involved in outside affairs.
Gradually, Gu Jiu stopped trying to express his thoughts in front of Master Gu.
And Master Gu doesn't necessarily pay much attention to her ideas.
Perhaps Master Gu thought that she was going to get married soon, it would be useless to say more.
Saying more words "unhelpful", Tao did everything.
The person she is going to marry is the grandson of the emperor. Ning Wangfurong, Gufu followed. If Prince Ning's Mansion is unlucky, Master Gu will definitely get rid of the relationship immediately.
No one knows who will sit in that supreme position in the end.
Therefore, it is useless to say more about everything now.
Gu Jiu didn't complain about the sky or the ground.
She accepted the arrangements of fate and kept a low profile. She knew very well that the palace was where she used her hands and feet.
Her battlefield is in the palace, in the royal family, in the palace, in the court.
If she wants to cherish her single life in the last few months, she will be a comfortable girl to be married and save more dowry.
Qingmei said: "However, if the princess doesn't like girls, she will be in trouble everywhere when she marries in the palace. A word from the princess can make it difficult for the girl to move in the palace."
Gu Jiu smiled softly, "What do you want to say? Let me please the princess?"
"If the princess can please easily please, that's fine." Qingmei said with emotion.
Gu Jiu squeezed Qingmei’s cheek, "You, just think too much. From the day of the marriage, it is destined that the princess cannot like me. Why should you worry about it in vain."
Qingmei packed up for Gu Jiu, "The princess has never seen a girl, why don't you like girls."
Gu Jiu smiled and said: "You don't have to meet someone if you hate someone. In the eyes of the princess, I am a real master of marrying a son Zhao.
The princess's family is Luhou Mansion, and the husband is now King Ning, so she must have a high self-esteem. How could she fall in love with the daughter of a little capital Yin. do you understand? "
Ome nodded, got it.
"Just wronged girl."
"I am not wronged."
Gu Jiu's eyebrows curled, her eyes filled with smiles.
The ivory white dress lined her cheeks white and tender, and her face was covered with collagen eggs.
A dark and smooth hair makes people feel the urge to reach out.
Compared with the same year ago, Gu Jiu has undergone a radical change.
People have grown taller, more beautiful, and have body curves. They are no longer the thin and yellow bean sprouts.
Gu Jiu said: "Because of the finger marriage, I got a dowry of 40,000 taels, which is a full 20,000 taels more than Gu Yue. It is also because of the finger marriage that the servants in the house respect me, which makes my little days more comfortable. It’s also because of the marriage that the master would open one eye and close another eye when I opened a shop outside."
Gu Jiu let Er Zhuang open the Zhuhua shop, but in the end he couldn't hide it from Master Gu.
However, Master Gu didn't say anything when he knew about it. Quandang didn't know about it. In private, he told Gu Yu to take care of him.
This matter Gu Jiu still listened to Gu Yu Gu Si Ge said.
The reason why Master Gu knew that the Zhuhua shop was opened by Gu Jiu was because someone had missed it.
Although Er Zhuang did not work in the mansion, many old people in the mansion knew him.
After learning that he had opened a bead flower shop in Beijing, after a little inquiries, he knew that the master behind him was Gu Jiu.
Fortunately, this matter has not yet reached Xie's ears. Otherwise, Xie's will have another trouble and his ears will not be clean.
Qingmei opened her mouth and asked, "Does the girl really think so?"
Gu Jiu nodded and said solemnly: "Think about it carefully, this marriage is not good, but it's not bad.
Forty thousand taels of dowry, although the real money is only a few thousand taels of silver, the rest are some kind of farm shops and so on.
But with these capital, I can do many, many things in the future. Much better than the current monthly income of tens of taels.
The jewellery shop I was talking about can be opened after I get my dowry. "
Qingmei snorted and laughed, "Tell the girl good news. Last month, the second Zhuang business was very good. After deducting all the expenses, the second Zhuang sent one hundred and twenty taels of silver."
Wow!
Gu Jiu was happy.
"It's not easy. After a few months of opening, the revenue finally broke through double digits."
"Er Zhuang said that there is no need to invest money to expand operations this month, and there will be more income next month."
Gu Jiu laughed, "The bead flower business looks inconspicuous, but I didn't expect that it can make hundreds of taels of income every month."
In the previous few months, Erzhuang had to withhold a portion of the income every month, and asked people to expand their operations, and to add favors.
For example, the expenses of asking yamen yamen to drink tea and wine.
Therefore, the income sent to Gu Jiu is not much, only three or forty taels.
However, even if it is only three or forty taels, it is worth Gu Jiu's monthly salary for most of the year, so Gu Jiu has a lot of looseness on hand, and the reward will not be painful.
Now everything in Jumeizhai is formal, and the expenses are also reduced.
Every month from now on, Er Zhuang can send hundreds of taels of income.
Hundreds of taels, not much to watch. If you accumulate less, you can earn more than a thousand taels a year.
In Beijing, I look at the shops that have done a lot of business, and only a few thousand taels a year.
Jumeizhai is a small but very profitable business. This business must go on for a long time.
The sign of Jumeizhai has been put out, and now all eldest girls and little wives with some family background have identified Jumeizhai.
Even if the things in Jumeizhai are more expensive than other places, everyone is willing to buy them at Jumeizhai. Just the picture is beautiful, limited, and there is face when you say it.
Qiaomei asked, "Will the girl have a big business in the future?"
Gu Jiu nodded, "Yes! To do a very big business, to be a little rich woman."
Qingmei laughed, "According to the girl, this is called obsession. A girl has a strong obsession to be a rich little woman."
Gu Jiu couldn't refute this, because she did have obsessions.
I have never been poor since I was born in my previous life and have never worried about money.
I have just walked through this life, poor and white, so poor that Gu Jiu looks guilty.
Money is the courage of human beings. Without money, there is not enough confidence.
So that I had to use some means to get the first start-up capital.
Since then, Gu Jiu has an obsession with being a rich little woman. I got a disease called No Money Uncomfortable, and I was very sick.
Forty thousand taels of dowry can greatly improve Gu Jiu's situation.
With a few thousand taels of dowry silver on hand, she can do many things. Many money-making plans can be executed in advance.
At that time, she can throw the silver on Liu Zhao's face and see, grandma aunt is richer than you, so she won't sing to conquer.
Thinking of his pride, Gu Jiu laughed first.
Kneeling to sing and conquer is not good, you have to let Liu Zhao kneel on the abacus or washboard.
Gu Jiu laughed deep inside, as if he had reached the pinnacle of life.
"The girl is really a small money fan. When she talks about money, the girl smiles without seeing her."
Qingmei teased.
Gu Jiu laughed, "Knowing that I am a small money fan, I have to bring the account book over, I have to settle the account myself."
Qingmei said, "I've already prepared it for the girl."
Putting the account book on the desk, Gu Jiu picked up the abacus, crackled, and started to settle the accounts.
Seeing that there were more than a hundred taels of silver on the book, Gu Jiu was extremely happy.
Adding to the one thousand taels Liu Zhao gave her last time in the palace, there are still a few hundred taels left. Adding up all the money, she can be regarded as a small rich man. Richer than all sisters.
It feels good to be rich, the air is fragrant, and Xie's is not that annoying anymore.
...
Early in the morning, Gu Jiu came to Furongyuan to ask for peace.
I met Gu Yue at the door.
Gu Yue's face was gloomy, and she didn't know who caused her.
Gu Zhen called out, "Oh, third sister, who do you show with a face?"
Gu Yue snorted, "You control me."
After speaking, he turned his head and entered the gate of Furongyuan.
Gu Zhen took a sip, disgusting Gu Yue in her heart.
She said to Gu Jiu: "Second sister, guess why the third sister is angry?"
Gu Jiu's heart moved and asked, "Does the big sister know?"
Gu Zhen smiled mysteriously, "Yesterday I saw my third sister walk into the Furongyuan with a happy face, but she came out in less than a stick of incense. When she came out, her face was covered with clouds, as if someone owed her a few hundred taels. It seems to be."
Gu Jiu raised his eyebrows, "So that's the reason for the wife?"
Gu Zhen nodded and whispered, "Ninety-eight percent of it is because of his wife. I just didn't find out the specific situation. The second sister has many ideas, so let Xiao Cui ask."
Gu Jiu looked at Gu Zhen with a smile but a smile, "Big sister is really good at talking and laughing, I don't have any ideas. Let's go in first, don't let your wife wait for us."
Gu Jiu walked into Furongyuan first.
As soon as I entered the main house, I saw the two sisters Gu Yue and Gu Shan staring at them.
Gu Yue was full of resentment, and Gu Shan looked inexplicable, not knowing where she had offended Gu Yue.
At a stalemate, Xie's came.
Gu Yue immediately reduced her expression and made a pleasing look with low eyebrows.
Gu Jiu nodded secretly. In recent months, Gu Yue's patience has improved. I have to say that Gu Yue has made progress, and has made great progress.
It's not like before, when you encounter something, you will yell like a crazy mad woman.
Xie coughed slightly, "You all know about the post from the palace. Five days later, they all went to the palace with me for a banquet.
You know the rules, I just remind you, don’t do shameless things, don’t play tricks, don’t offend people.
Either you have already said pro, or you are about to say pro. You know the consequences of making mistakes in the palace. The marriage was delayed, don't blame me for not reminding you. "
"Remember what the wife taught."
Xie nodded secretly, and he was in a good mood today.
The words of the eldest wife, Zhang, awakened Xie.
She can't get angry easily, she ages prematurely, it's cheaper for Aunt Bai.
In the past few months, Xie's has been taking medicated diet to restore his body, while trying to restrain his temper.
Regarding Aunt Bai's giving birth to a son, she endured it, and finally held it back.
It worked well in just a few months.
Xie's eyebrows and eyes now look softer, and the tone of speech is much softer than before.
The spirit looks good, and with proper maintenance, it looks three or four years younger than the actual age.
Xie looked at Gu Zhen, "Girl Zhen, Xu family will be here today, you are ready. Don't lose face in front of the guests."
Gu Zhen's face condensed and nodded, "Thank you for reminding your wife, I know."
The Xu family is the husband's family of the older wife Zhang's sister.
Xu Zhang will take care of Gu Zhen for his son-in-law and will be a guest today.
Whether Gu Zhen's marriage is successful depends on today.
Xie looked at Gu Yue again, "Yue'er, you will be by my side today, don't walk around."
Gu Yue opened her mouth, as if she wanted to refute. In the end, he nodded softly, "The daughter listens to the mother."
Xie nodded in satisfaction, "It's so good."
Gu Zhen secretly pierced Gu Yue, she remembered the enmity between the two people clearly.
Last time, Gu Yue broke her marriage.
This time, she would not let Gu Yue succeed anyway.
When Gu Yue had any intentional behavior, she slapped it without saying a word.
Xie said: "Okay, just follow me to the meeting hall."
Everyone got up, left Furongyuan, and went to the Chamber.
Gu Lin was at the end, her face was not very good, and she looked worried.
Gu Jiu asked her, "Fifth sister, what's the matter with you?"
Gu Lin said anxiously: "My aunt's body has not been recuperated yet, and my brother is sick again."
The brother born to Aunt Bai is eleventh among brothers.
The eleventh brother might have been holding back in the mother's womb for a while when he was born, and he was a little weak when he was born.
Before learning to eat, he started taking medicine.
At two ends in three days, the doctor will be invited.
Aunt Bai broke her heart for the eleventh brother, and also delayed her recuperation.
I heard that Aunt Bai's body was not recovering well, and she was so empty that she didn't let Master Gu visit her.
Said that she was afraid that Master Gu would see her unbeautiful side.
When this word reached Xie's ears, Xie's cursed: "Affectionate!"
Gu Zhen asked Gu Lin, "Eleven brother, didn't you get better a few days ago? Why did you get sick again?"
Gu Lin lowered her head and said frowningly: "It may be because of the unpredictable weather. She caught cold and got sick again."
Gu Zhen accompanied him and sighed, "Eleventh brother's body is so weak, I will catch up with the second sister when she was young."
Gu Jiu smiled and said, "Big sister, was I that weak when I was young?"
Gu Zhen nodded, "I am weaker than the Eleventh brother. To be honest, the second sister can grow up smoothly and safely. It's really a big fate. Every time I get seriously ill, everyone thinks that I will be dying, and I can always survive at the last moment. "
Gu Jiu pursed his lips and smiled, "I'm just saying that if you survive a catastrophe, you will have luck."
Gu Zhen nodded, "That's true."
So if the second sister can marry the emperor's grandson as his wife, she must be blessed.
