Chapter 504: Why so stupid

Gu Jiu not only invited Huyang Princess, Huang Qubing to support the venue.
She also invited several brothers of the Gu family to ask them for help.
The elders of the Gu family knew in their hearts that in name Gu Jiu asked them to help, but in fact Gu Jiu was creating opportunities for them to get to know people.
Fortunately, they are not grandchildren and grandchildren, so they don't need to wear Chongxiao.
It's already June, and going out at this time has no effect.
Only Gu Ban, the eldest son of Dafang, as a burden-bearing grandson, had to observe three years of filial piety. Can't go out to socialize like brothers.
When they came to the other courtyard, it was still early.
Bai Zhong greeted him enthusiastically.
At this time, another carriage arrived.
Bai Zhongxin asked, at this hour, are there any guests coming?
The tea party is scheduled for mid-afternoon, and it is a bit early to come here at this time.
When the arrival came off the carriage, Bai Zhong opened his mouth wide, "How can it be Gu Dashao? Rare guest, rare guest!"
The eldest grandson of the Hou Mansion, Gu Rui, got out of the carriage and said with a smile: "Uninvited, please forgive me. I learned that Sister Xiao Jiu is going to hold a tea party and needs someone to support the venue, so I took the initiative to come. Hope it won't cause you trouble. ."
Bai Zhongxi smiled, the status of the eldest grandson of the Hou Mansion is very heavy.
He hurriedly smiled and said, "Gu Dashao is polite! Madam would be very happy if she knew you were here."
Gu Rui smiled and said: "At the beginning of the first emperor's funeral, thanks to sister Xiaojiu's help, my wife can go home and recuperate smoothly. After all, I owe a lot of favor to sister Xiaojiu over the years. Sister Xiaojiu doesn't ask for anything in return, but I can't. I won’t report it. If there is anything I need to do today, even if I confess, I’ll do all kinds of things."
"Where do you need to go to the hall to take care of things? You only need to stop in the lobby, and the tea party will have the grade."
Huang Qubing walked out with a fan and teased Gu Rui.
Gu Rui glanced at Huang Qubing. Both of them were players in the same circle. The top two-generation and three-generation dudes in the capital were familiar with each other.
In this circle, the Gu family's elders couldn't get in, so Gu Zheng and his brothers failed to talk to Huang Qubing.
When Gu Rui came, Huang Qubing took the initiative to speak up.
This is the difference between circles, which distinguishes between closeness and closeness.
Gu Rui laughed, "Unexpectedly, you also came."
Huang Qubing put the fan together, "Sister-in-law invites me to come, I naturally want to show her face."
It is a pity that the sister-in-law's brother Gu Ling is not in the capital, so he has no chance to make friends with Gu Ling.
"Several princes, don't stand at the door, all go in. Princess Huyang should also be there later." Bai Zhong reminded.
When several people heard the words of Princess Huyang, they were all expressions of indescribable expressions.
"What did the sister-in-law think, let Huyang support the scene. Are you afraid that Huyang will be upset and lift the table?"
Gu Rui let out a light cough, "The people here today are all male guests, and the host of Huyang County should not lift the table."
As soon as he said this, everyone laughed ambiguously.
The fragrant rumors of Princess Huyang can be kept from others, but they can't be kept from them.
Han Wulang of Daihou Mansion has been around for many years. Every time he leaves the mansion, he will be teased. They both put him and Huyang County Lord together to discuss.
Even if Han Goro was unhappy, he could not stop others' mouths.
They are all people in the same circle, and their family backgrounds are similar, so Han Goro naturally didn't dare to turn his face at will. Had to reduce the number of trips, or change the circle to play.
Gu Yu still had questions, "Since all the men are here, why did Xiao Jiu ask the host of Huyang County to support the venue? It's not appropriate."
Looking at Gu Jiu's face, Huang Qubing patiently explained, "Princess Huyang hasn't been happy lately, and his sister-in-law will have fun with her."
Princess Huyang asked for the title several times and couldn't hide it from others, not Princess Fuya. Huang Qubing is the son of Princess Fuya, so he naturally knew about it.
Princess Huyang has a problem now.
Whenever she encounters something unhappy, she needs to cry to Gu Jiu.
Whenever she yelled out the phrase "Elder Nephew and Wife", Gu Jiu's heart and liver trembled.
Gu Jiu often asked himself what kind of evil he had done and he was on the floor of Huyang Princess.
In order to dispel the frustrated Huyang princess, Gu Jiu called Huyang to come to the tea party to support the venue.
A room of little fresh meat with a face value online, Huyang County Lord was full of heart, and readily agreed.
In order to attend this tea party, Huyang County lord also ordered Xiuniang to hurry up and make three new dresses. One set is more charming (more exposed) than one set.
It seems that Princess Huyang has already left the capital from a young high monk. Emperor Wen De did not give her nobles and walked out of the shadow, intending to find a face or two at the tea party and continue to enjoy life.
For men and women, pay attention to your love and my wishes.
If the men at the tea party were not happy, the Lord Huyang wouldn't play forcing him because of Gu Jiu's face.
If there is a man pushing the boat along the water at the tea party, and the Huyang princess doesn't dislike the other party, it will naturally be the matter. But in this way, only Huyang County Master can unilaterally decide when to end the relationship.
After all, not every man is a little eminent monk, who can fool Princess Huyang.
Several young people, all about the same age, soon became familiar with them.
Huang Qubing said casually: "Congratulations to Young Master Gu, I am so happy for Liner."
Gu Rui vomited: "My son has been a hundred days old before you say congratulations. Is it late? At least you have to make up the gift. I think Chijin's longevity lock is good for two catties."
puff!
Huang Qubing pointed at Gu Rui with an expression of inconceivable expression, "You, are you robbing?"
Two catties of Chijin Longevity Lock, fortunately Gu Rui could speak, why not grab it.
Gu Rui said naturally, "You don't miss that little money."
"Gu Rui, why didn't I find you so greedy for money before?"
"That's not because I didn't raise a child before. Now I know that I have a child. I spend money like water. While I am young, I have to save more possessions for the child."
Gu Rui's tone was very serious, and it was taken for granted. He also greeted several cousins ​​of the Gu family, all of whom have children, and all have their own experience in raising children.
Huang Qubing looked at everyone.
Gu Teng gave a light cough, "The girl spends less money and only needs to prepare a dowry. When you have a son, you have to buy more properties. If you have more sons, you have to buy several properties. Otherwise, after we wait a hundred years, I blame the poor for not having enough property for the children."
Huang Qubing looked incredible, "Why do you think so far?"
Gu Teng looked innocent, "Do you think far? As the saying goes, people who have no vision must have immediate worries. Some time ago, my family was separated, I have a deep understanding."
Gu Rui repeatedly agreed, and after the death of Lord Hou, the Hou Mansion also scored the score.
No amount of family business can stand up to time and time again.
Therefore, it is not advisable to expect to eat the ancestors if they die. He can eat his ancestors, can he continue to eat his ancestors when his son inherits the family business?
If he doesn't work hard to buy a property and waits until his son grows up and inherits the family business, he is afraid that he will become ruined.
When the time comes to trace the root, children and grandchildren will have to point to his spiritual card: Look, our Pingnan Hou Mansion was defeated by this ancestor. Having such a prodigal ancestor on the stall, it really has been mold for eight lifetimes.
Just thinking about this scene makes your scalp numb.
Obviously, after Zhou gave birth to his son, he not only allowed Gu Rui to be promoted to father, but also made Gu Rui aware of responsibility.
He is no longer alone, he has to think for the children. As much as possible to buy more properties for the children, leaving more ancestors.
Today, Huang Qubing is a rare encounter, and he wants to blackmail his son.
Huang Quyi took him, "Gai Minger, I will give the little nephew a half-catty Chijin Longevity Lock, don't be too little."
Gu Rui held back a smile, with a reluctant and eye-catching expression, "It's half a catty, I don't dislike it."
Huang Qu was out of anger, "Gu Rui, you can ask who in the capital gave the longevity lock, half a catty of pure gold in one breath? The longevity lock that can give three or two of the pure gold is the best relationship."
Gu Rui said: "You are different from others."
He didn't say why it was different, and let Huang Qubing guess for himself.
Huang Qubing snorted twice, thinking that if it weren't for Gu Jiu, the group of them would not get together.
"Look at each of you all getting into the eyes of money. Why don't you know how to cherish such a good opportunity to make money? My sister-in-law wants to build a concrete road. Are you stupid? You don't know how to invest some money in it? Dividends don’t have to be a bit of a mess. You don’t even know how to catch such a good thing.
After Huang Qubing finished speaking, he looked triumphant again.
Everyone was silent.
Gu Rui asked him, "How much did you invest?"
Huang Qubing took a sip of tea, with a look that I don’t want to show off, it’s the expression you want to ask, and said: "Not much, just one hundred thousand taels of silver."
by!
The rich man.
This is the common idea of ​​all the Gu family members at this time.
It's really enviable and hateful.
Gu Rui said, "My wife and I also invested money."
Huang Qubing was curious, "How much?"
Gu Rui sighed, "I can't compare to you. My private money for many years and my wife's dowry silver only made up 20 thousand taels. However, I voted in the public account for 50 thousand taels. Just like you said, for my children and grandchildren. Future generations are looking for a good thing to sit back and eat dividends."
Huang Qubing's mouth twitched, and no one was a fool.
Although I don't know how many years it will take for this road to recover the capital, everyone still actively invests money in the trust of Gu Jiu. It's worth investing money just by taking advantage of the bonus.
The Gu family brothers also invested money.
The least voted 1,000 taels, and the most voted 6,000 taels.
Gu Teng cast six thousand taels.
"I wanted to invest a bit more, but my wife and I had too little cash on hand. There were some before, but they were all invested in the Nanchengmenwai project. I heard from Xiaojiu's sister that it is estimated that dividends will be distributed by the end of this year."
Gu Rui laughed, "Outside the Nancheng Gate, my wife also invested money in it. It seems that at the end of this year, we can also divide some money."
Huang Qubing also invested money.
In this way, the people present more or less invested money in Gu Jiu's project.
Huang Qubing thought about it, and tweeted twice.
"Unknowingly, my sister-in-law has already wiped out all the people in the circle. This time she was building roads, she was clearly focusing on those civil servants. Both civil and military were networked by her. In the future, she wants to do something. Who can stop her? The capital is allowed to toss her. Sister-in-law’s layout is really powerful."
Gu Rui raised her eyebrows and secretly kicked Huang Qubing. Secretly reminded him that if you know something, don't say it.
As the so-called see through, don't say through.
Huang Qubing lightly slapped his mouth, "Look at my broken mouth, all day long. What I said just now doesn't count, you guys have never heard it. If it is spread out, I will never admit it. ."
The Gu brothers expressed their opinions one after another, and they certainly wouldn't go out and talk nonsense.
The fate of the Gu family is closely related to the fate of Gu Jiu. Everyone is not a fool, and everyone has a steelyard in their hearts.
Bai Zhong came to Deng Cunli, covered his ears and whispered an incident.
Deng Cunli raised his eyebrows, "Why did he come?"
"People have arrived at the door, what do you say?"
"I didn't post to him, why did he come? The skin is really thick." Deng Cunli's tone was very disgusting.
Huang Qubing saw the two of them whispering, and asked loudly: "What are you two secretly talking about? I can't say anything in front of everyone."
Deng Cunli laughed suddenly, and walked to Huang Qubing a few steps, and said: "A guest came early. Everyone knows this, and it's Mr. Cheng En Bo Zhuci."
puff!
Huang Qubing spit out tea, "Sister-in-law wrote a post to Cheng Enbo?"
Deng Cunli shook his head, "Madam did not post to Cheng Enbo."
Gu Rui smiled and said, "I didn't expect anyone besides me to come uninvited."
During Gu Jiu's feast with Zhu's family, everyone present was clear.
It has been a year since the Zhu family was extremely low-key, so low-key that people ignored the sense of existence of his family.
But I didn't expect that suddenly, the old man Cheng Enbo came out again. Piansheng also appeared at Gu Jiu's investment promotion tea party.
Huang Qubing and Gu Rui exchanged glances, and only the two of them understood the meaning.
In the current situation of Cheng En Bo Zhu Ci, the people outside the circle could not see Yunshan Wusha. As people in the circle, the two of them are naturally clear.
Huang Qubing laughed, "The people here are guests, and everyone is at the door, so they can’t drive them away. Please come in. However, for today’s tea party, only people with invitations can bid. Qualified for bidding. Duke Deng, is my son right?"
This is what Deng Cunli waited for, "What Huang Gongzi said is naturally correct. This is our family's order to arrange for Zhu family father and son, to ensure that you will not disturb your Yaxing."
"It doesn't matter if you bother, and I can't say a piece. I'm not embarrassed, I'm afraid that Cheng Enbo's old man will be embarrassed. When the lord of Huyang comes, my own lord of Huyang will meet their father and son.
This is the tacit understanding between Huang Qubing and Gu Rui.
The two of them are juniors, and Cheng Enbo Zhu has a high seniority. The two of them are not easy to come forward.
But Princess Huyang had no such concerns.
Emperor Wen De is the brother of the Lord of Huyang, apart from being stingy and refusing to give a noble, even if the Lord of Huyang pierced the sky outside, Emperor Wen De can help her carry it.
The Zhu family is just the home of Emperor Xian's uncle, not Emperor Wen De's. Emperor Wen De didn't need to give Zhu's face at all.
As the saying goes, people take the tea to cool, separated by relatives of generations, and do not walk around on weekdays, and count as fart relatives.
Do you really think that Emperor Wen De will kindly call Cheng En Bo Zhu Ci and his uncle? Dream it.
Without looking for a reason, the title of Bo Cheng Enbo was taken away. It was already the kindness of Emperor Wen De.
Presumably, Cheng Enbo Zhu Ci also realized that Zhu's family was in danger, so he cheeked uninvited, made up the number of people, formed a good relationship, and released the signal that he and Gu Jiu would make a fortune together.
Just don't know, Gu Jiu would not give him this face.
Deng Cunli asked someone to invite Zhu's father and son in, and they were placed far away in the side hall, without interrupting the gathering of several young people.
Zhu's father and son sit in Xiaopian Hall, where the environment is quiet and the tea fragrance is far away. However, neither father nor son wanted to enjoy it.
Master Zhu was a calm person, but today he is a little impatient.
He looked at his old father, "When we came in, we clearly saw someone on the side of the water pavilion, but the grandpa Deng deliberately placed us in this remote hall. No one came to greet us except the maid serving tea. Obviously it's down to the face of our Zhu family."
Cheng En Bo Zhuci put down his tea cup, "How can we have any face in Zhu's family now? If we are a small family in Zhu's family, the family will be satisfied if they are full, so naturally there is no need to ask for help.
But in fact, our Zhu family has a big business, and the Zhu family, together with relatives and friends, has a relationship that has been managed by generations. Thousands of thousands all count on us to eat. Don't say that the other party is just cold, even if we slap it, we have to endure it. "
Master Zhu frowned and was unwilling.
Cheng En Bo Zhu took the trouble and said with great heart, "Last time, our Zhu family missed the project outside the Nancheng Gate. This time, in any case, we cannot miss the concrete road from Beijing to Luozhou.
Others don't know the value of this road, how can our Zhu family not know it. Our Zhu family knows best how many cars and horses pass by on this road every day.
When the cement road is completed, the number of carriages and horses on the road will be twice as much as it is now, or even three or four times as many. There is a toll station within fifty miles, and pedestrians do not charge, but only charge for carriage and horses.
Sandwiches don't seem to be much, but there are dozens of toll booths on this road, and it can't support the gathering of less and more. Once this road becomes a concrete road, it is gold. Lying on it can eat for a lifetime.
It's a pity that your Majesty couldn't see through, and was fooled by Mrs. Zhao, and even agreed to ask Mrs. Zhao to raise funds to build roads. But that's okay, otherwise we won't have the chance to join this feast. "
I have to say that although Cheng Enbo Zhuci’s taste is ugly, he has nothing to say about his commercial sense of smell. It is not so sharp, but super sharp.
See the value of the cement road from Beijing to Luozhou at a glance.
What is gold?
The cement road from Beijing to Luozhou is the fighter in gold.
At present, in addition to Gu Jiu, Cheng Enbo Zhuci accurately estimated the value of this road.
There are times when Emperor Wende regrets.
Huang Qubing still underestimated the value of this road. When dividends are distributed in the future, he estimated that he would regret why he had only invested one hundred thousand taels in the first place and why not one million taels. Ahhhhh.
Emperor Wen De might roar and roar, why am I so stupid, why so stupid. Such a lucrative cement road, isn't it a million dollars, I have it. Could it be that my mind was flooded at the beginning, and I personally pushed out the money-making opportunities that were given to me.
Ahhhhh!
Can I spend money to buy this road back?
Gu Jiu: Ha ha! You dream. Even if you are the emperor, this lady will not give you face.
Emperor Wende: I want to change from forty years to 20 years, no, to five years.
Gu Jiu: Hehe, shameless?
Anyway, around this road, all kinds of entanglements and contradictions will always arise.
This is something to follow, not to show it.
In the middle of the afternoon, when the yamen went down, guests began to come.
Today's tea party is actually a buffet.
For this buffet, Gu Jiu also made a special time to teach the kitchen a few modern snacks. Also think of a way to extract cream from milk to make cheese.
All kinds of southern fruits are transported to the capital at a high price.
All kinds of southern dried fruit preserves and all kinds of seafood products were transported to the capital and appeared at the buffet tonight.
It is not so much a tea party as it is a food carnival.
The guests arrived one after another, and the welcome team led by Shiqin and Shiqi, dressed in uniform, welcomed the guests into the lobby.
Two long rows of tables are covered with expensive tablecloths.
On the tablecloth, there are all kinds of food. Many have never seen it.
"what is this?"
"This is a cream cake specially prepared for the distinguished guests."
"What is this again?"
"This is a fruit platter, also called fruit salad."
"what is this?"
"This is shredded squid, specially shipped from the south. If the guests are thirsty, there are a variety of drinks here. These are freshly squeezed juices, including apple juice, mango juice, watermelon juice..."
The maidservant trained by the Royal Palace has an extraordinary professionalism.
The welcoming group headed by Shiqin Shiqi, advancing and retreating well, neither humble nor overbearing, coupled with its beautiful appearance, made the guests feel weaker as soon as they entered the door.
Of course, no one dared to do anything to these welcome maids at the tea party.
Everyone who is invited knows that there is Mrs. Zhao behind this tea party. Give them ten courage, who dare not provoke his wife.
What's more, there is also a princess Huyang who will turn his face if he doesn't agree.
