Chapter 284: Outlet

Liu Yi set off for Jiangnan.
The lord of Huyang also kept in the palace and copied the filial piety.
Gu Mei sent a letter to thank Gu Jiu.
Gu Mei said in the letter that if it hadn't been for Gu Jiu to mention something, Daihou Mansion had never expected that he could spend money to buy the emperor.
In the beginning, Daihou Mansion, as Gu Jiu suggested, planned to buy Huyang County lord with a sum of money, and let Huyang County lord come forward to cancel the marriage.
Who would have thought that before the money was given out, the lord of Huyang would be detained in the palace.
At this time, it was no longer possible to send money to Princess Huyang.
Dai Hou thought for a while, and simply didn't do anything else, and directly gave the money to the emperor. Ask the emperor to give an order to break the relationship between the lord of Huyang and Han Goro.
Originally the whole family was very nervous, but unexpectedly, Tianzi really accepted the one hundred thousand taels of silver donated by Daihou Mansion, and ordered no one to mention the matter between Huyang County Lord and Han Golang.
It was a surprise to get this result.
The old lady of Daihou Mansion was so happy. She ate half a bowl of rice in the evening, but her stomach was swollen, so she asked the imperial physician to prescribe two doses of medicine for treatment.
As for Han Goro, he regained his life after turning the clouds and seeing the moon. For the time being, he still didn't dare to go out, because one was afraid of who would be entangled again, and the other was because he was afraid that he would pick him up.
Gu Mei said in the letter that Han Wulang was very honest these days, and he took the initiative to read a book every day.
However, Gu Mei was also worried that Han Wulang was only temporarily honest. When the wind is calm and the waves are calm, he is likely to return to his old habits and continue to go out.
Gu Jiu picked up the pen and replied a letter to Gu Mei. Tell Gu Mei not to worry about such things.
Her due date is approaching. Read more books to teach her baby.
...
It took several days for the maids of Qingmei to make ten sets of woolen woven garments.
According to the requirements of Care Jiu, it is divided into small size, medium size, large size, plus size, plus plus size.
Several maids handed the finished product to Gu Jiu for review.
Gu Jiu called Rongxin and the others and asked them to try them on, whether there was any room for improvement.
Try on several small yellow doors separately.
"Very good, warm. But it's too hot to wear now."
Gu Jiu smiled and said, "These ready-to-wear garments are naturally prepared for winter. Is there anything that needs improvement?"
"No, it's easy to put on and take off. It's most suitable for people in the barracks."
Gu Jiu felt relieved.
Rong Xin changed their clothes and waited for dispatch.
Gu Jiu looked at the three little yellow gates, "I have an opportunity here. I need to go to the Northwest to discuss a munitions business with the Northwest Army. It is the woolen woven garment you just tried on. Who wants to go?"
The three little yellow faces looked at each other.
Bai Zhong said, "Mrs. Qi Jin, the young one has never done business, can we go there?"
Gu Jiu said: "How to talk about the business, there will be a big Zhuang responsible, I will also arrange a shopkeeper to accompany you. When you go to the northwest, the main task is to review and supervise this business for me, and you can’t decide between the shopkeeper and the big Zhuang. When you have an idea, decide for them. Who of you dare to go?"
No one answered.
Gu Jiu said: "The Northwest is very difficult, but as long as this business is completed, I will be responsible for the Northwest business line in the future. From now on, he will be the general manager of the Northwest trade line. The annual salary will be paid. It is ten times, a hundred times, even a thousand times.
I know you are afraid of the Northwest Army and Luhou. But I can give you the bottom line. This business is to cooperate with Luhou's daughter, the wife of the Prince of Zhuguo. On this trip to the northwest, Mrs. Shizi will send two stewards who can speak in front of Luhou. "
"I go!"
Deng Cunli walked in from outside.
He bowed slightly, "Please madam give this opportunity to the old slave. The old slave will definitely live up to the task and complete the task."
Gu Jiu hesitated.
The reason why Deng Cunli was excluded from the beginning was that Deng Cunli was too old and she needed to train young people. Second, she still needs Deng Cunli to ask for news after running.
There is another worry. She is worried that Deng Cunli and Luhou are having a holiday.
Deng Cunli worked as a errand in the palace for so many years, and he also held power. Maybe he had contact with Luhou.
She said to Deng Cunli: "My wife can't do without you. It is more appropriate for you to stay in Beijing."
Deng Cunli said, "Mrs. Qiji, Bai Zhong can also do the errands that the old slave is doing now. But this trip to the northwest, they may not be able to take on the important tasks.
If they broke Madam’s major event, how should it be done? Ask the lady to give the old slave a chance, and the old slave takes one of them to the northwest, which is to cultivate talents for his wife. "
Gu Jiu deliberated, "Can Grandpa Deng tell my lady why you want to go to the northwest? The northwest is bitterly cold and has heavy responsibilities. This trip is not easy."
Deng Cunli bowed and said, "Don’t hide the truth, the old slave is really depressed to stay in the capital. The old slave wants to go out for a break, want to change his way of life, want to be the chief manager of the Northwest trade line, and want to get his wife. The salary is ten times, a hundred times, or even a thousand times. The old slave wants to save more money while he is still working, and plan for the future pension."
Gu Jiu solemnly said: "I will take care of you."
Deng Cunli shook his head, "It's not that the old slave is ignorant of good and bad, but if he can rely on himself to provide for the elderly, the old slave still hopes to work hard and fight. Please madam give the old slave this opportunity."
Gu Jiu hesitated for a moment, she could see that Deng Cunli really wanted this opportunity.
She asked, "Does Duke Deng know how to negotiate business?"
Deng Cunli smiled confidently, "Buy low and sell high. Overwhelmingly asking prices to pay back the money. When talking about business, it's about who is more confident."
Some truth.
Gu Jiu asked again: "It's not impossible if you want to go, but you have to answer me honestly, do you know Luhou? Do you have holidays?"
Deng Cunli hesitated for a moment before he said, "Madam, when he was young, the old slave had contact with Luhou several times. The old slave still remembers him, but I don't know that he still can't remember the old slave. As for the holidays, definitely not.
The old slave was going to negotiate business for his wife, and what he had to do was to make good relationships and make money with rapport. He didn't dare to offend people, let alone make trouble for his wife. "
Gu Jiu said: "You are a sensible person, knowing what to do and what not to do. I can leave this errand to you, and you will be solely responsible for it. If the errand is done well, my lady will not be stingy to take all of the Northwest trade line. Leave it to you, and you will be in the middle of the dispatch. But I still want to remind you that you represent the face of this lady when you go out this time. So, when you speak outside, don’t lose the face of this lady. Understand?"
"Madam, don't worry, the old slave will only fight for his wife and dare not lose face."
"That's great."
Gu Jiu looked at the three little yellow gates again, "Which one of you wants to go to the Northwest? If you are not willing, I will let Duke Deng pick someone from the shop. If you want to come to Erzhuang, there should be many people who are willing to go to the Northwest for some experience. ."
"Little ones are willing to go." Huang Zhuo was the first to stand up.
Gu Jiu nodded with satisfaction, "Very good. It's up to you to follow Deng Gong to the northwest and take charge of this munitions business. I have written down all the things that need attention when I go to the northwest."
From the drawer of the desk, she took out a thick stack of manuscript paper with various precautions written on it.
She handed the manuscript paper to Deng Cunli, "I hope your trip will go smoothly."
Deng Cunli bowed with Huang Zhuo to lead the order.
Deng Cunli looked through the notes with a serious expression.
There are many things they need to do about this munitions order. Sure enough, this trip to the Northwest was not easy.
Gu Jiu pointed to the neatly folded ready-to-wear samples, "You bring these samples. If the business is negotiated, you will make them in accordance with these five sizes. The quantity of each size needs to be made by yourself. Understand and grasp. Qingmei, bring them the model."
Qiaomei took out a bag and placed five-size cutting templates in it.
She said to Deng Cunli and the two of them: "You have to take these size samples well, and you must not drop them. With these samples, even a novice can get started soon. If you are an old tailor, if you see the template, pick up the scissors. The cloth can be cut by comparison."
Gu Jiu said again: "While there are still a few days away from Beijing, you two will find Erzhuang and learn from him what assembly line operation is. When you get to the northwest, you will benefit greatly."
"The old slave obeyed. As for the price, is it up to the old slave to decide?"
Gu Jiu nodded, "Yes, you need to make an idea about the price. When you get to the northwest, you will spend more time with Da Zhuang and Grandma Gui, and calculate the cost accurately. This business, after preliminary calculation, the gross profit must at least reach Only 40% can make a profit. You have to make up your mind about the specific price based on the actual situation."
Deng Cunli's expression was solemn, and he was suddenly stressed.
He bowed his head, took the size sample, and left the eastern courtyard with ready-made clothes samples.
In the next few days, he and Er Zhuang learned assembly line operations during the day. In the evening, I thought about weaving wool and asked an old tailor for advice.
The busy time flies quickly.
In a blink of an eye it was their day of departure.
Accompanied by Buzhuang shopkeeper buddy, Erzhuang's apprentice, plus two stewards sent by Pei Yun.
A group of seven or eight people set off to the northwest to discuss munitions business with Luhou.
...
Princess Huyang finally finished copying the filial piety scripture, and went out of the palace and returned to the palace.
As soon as she came back, she asked the princess's family order, "Did the Shaofu take the house? Can the property of the palace be moved out?"
The princess’s family leader bowed and said,
Return to the princess, and the young mansion sent people to take back the princess’s mansion. All the property in the mansion and the officials moved out and transported them to the new princess’s mansion for storage.

Princess Huyang asked: "Where is the new princess mansion?"
"This is also in Baiyi Lane, one street away from the original princess mansion. But..."
"But it's half the size of the original princess mansion, with only three courtyards and seven or eight small courtyards."
"How to live in such a small yard?"
Princess Huyang was furious, very annoyed.
The princess's family order was also very embarrassed, "This is what your majesty meant, and there is no way to subordinate officials."
Princess Huyang suppressed the anger in his heart and asked: "How much is the discount of the original Princess Mansion?"
The princess Jialing said cautiously: "The Shaofu has a discount of 60,000 taels."
"What, it's only sixty thousand taels. At the beginning, the palace decorated the house and it cost more than sixty thousand taels. The Shao Mansion deceived people too much, so a good house was only discounted for sixty thousand taels. It is true that the phoenix is ​​not as good as a chicken. Do you want to bully at will? Bullying too much, the palace will never let it go."
Princess Huyang was angrily and went to Ning Wang to help her get ahead.
"Brother Wang, the young man is deceiving too much, this time you must help me."
King Ning was busy, frowning at her, "You just got out of the palace, and you are about to cause trouble? Do you want to report to your father and clean up your meal."
Princess Huyang immediately burst into tears, "Brother Wang is so cruel. The Shao Mansion deceived my absence. The previous Princess Mansion, such a big mansion, was only discounted by 60 thousand taels. What is this not bullying? And this I didn't see a penny of sixty thousand taels, and all returned it to the Ministry of Households. I'm so miserable, will Brother Wang refuse to pity me?"
King Ning looked at Princess Huyang dissatisfied, "Today you are responsible for all this."
Princess Huyang was not reconciled, "Even if I take the blame, it is not my turn to insult me. Brother Wang really refuses to stand for me?"
King Ning sternly said, "The Young Mansion has already taken back the princess mansion, and the money has been converted to the Ministry of Households. How do you ask this king to help you out?
Do you want this king to force Shaofu to pay? Are you your servant in the young palace?
You don't want to mention it again, and live with peace of mind. After half a year and a year, I will say something nice for you when my father is relieved.
At that time, when the father is in a good mood, he may give you a mansion again. "
Princess Huyang became angry, "For a year or a half, Brother Wang should not coax me with such remarks, I don't believe it."
King Ning stared at her, "Then what do you want this king to do?"
"Brother Wang will take a trip to the Young Mansion for me, and ask him at least 40 thousand taels."
King Ning sneered, "I'm busy here, you go out."
"Brother Wang has made up his mind not to help me, has he?"
King Ning said indifferently: "This king can do nothing. If you have to toss, go to your mother and concubine to help you out, this king will never stop."
Princess Huyang left angrily.
The servant Chang En was a little worried, "My lord, will the princess lady go to the Young Mansion and make trouble by herself?"
King Ning made a ruthless message, "Let her go. She hasn't suffered, so she can be taught a lesson."
Princess Huyang left the tourmaline pavilion and was not in a hurry to go to Shaofu to ask for money.
She went to visit Chen Min first.
Chen Min's body has been restored, but he has lost a circle.
Princess Huyang was dissatisfied, "I didn't eat well, or the servant didn't take care of it?"
Chen Min lowered his head and whispered, "Daughter has no appetite."
"Why don't you have an appetite? Is it because the food in the kitchen doesn't suit your appetite? Let's go with your aunt and ask your aunt to clean up the little people in the kitchen."
"Nothing, the food in the kitchen suits your appetite. I just don't want to eat it."
Chen Min was very resistant, she was afraid to follow Huyang.
Huyang was born with a face as thick as a city wall, but Huyang's two children belonged to thin-skinned people. The character of her and Chen Fuma has not been inherited at all.
Princess Huyang was very dissatisfied, and particularly disliked Chen Min's fearful appearance, "What are you afraid of? You have my palace to support you, what terrible you are."
Chen Min was a little upset, "I'm really fine. Mother, don't you ask about your brother's situation?"
"That kid Chen Lu hasn't come back yet?"
"My brother has made up his mind to support Chen Family Portal alone, he will not come back." Chen Min raised his volume a little.
"Humph!"
Princess Huyang is very disgusted, "Relying on his one and a half sons to support the portal, he is purely dreaming. Stinky boy, the wings are hard, and I dare not even listen to my words. There is no time today, I will take care of him another day. And you , Eat well and see how thin you look. If you lose weight, you will become an ugly monster."
Chen Min was a little embarrassed and whispered, "I'm not ugly."
Princess Huyang was too lazy to bother, "Remember to eat more three meals a day to maintain your health. Don't be like your dead father, who has so many problems with a meal."
After Huyang cursed Chen Lu, he took someone out.
King Ning sent someone to stare at Huyang and report the situation in time.
Huyang didn't go to the Shao's Mansion, but rushed to Daihou's Mansion in one go, swiping the whip to beat the concierge of Daihou's Mansion to the ground, and rushed directly into Daihou's Mansion to find Han Wulang to settle accounts.
When the old lady of Daihou Mansion heard the movement, she bluffed, "Hurry up, send someone to stop the shrew. Where's the Goroman? Hurry up and call Goro out to hide."
Gu Mei was holding her belly, not daring to stand up.
Mrs. Daihou ordered the young lady to stop the Huyang princess.
However, no matter how many small servants, they are not the opponent of Huyang Princess.
Princess Huyang waved a horse whip, and no one dared to step forward due to her identity.
If he ran into Huyang, he would die in vain.
In this way, Huyang Jun, as if entering the land of no one, rushed directly to Han Golang's yard, and caught Han Golang who was about to hide.
"Goro, you make it easy to find the palace. What's the matter, when the palace comes, you have to go out. You just don't want to see the palace."
"The princess empress, your majesty has ordered that no one is allowed to mention anything between you and me."
"That doesn't include my palace. My palace is in a bad mood today. Come here and take care of my palace. If you feel comfortable, my palace will spare you."
"Grandma, grandma, save me soon." Han Wulang cried for help.
