Chapter 162 Their weaknesses are too obvious
When Gu Youfu heard about it, he scolded Mr. Gao with a look of disapproval, "You are short-sighted, why would you be so happy? Why don't you just go and have a meal?"
Mrs. Gao looked at his face and mustered up the courage to retort, "That's His Highness the Crown Prince. Mr. Xu from Xishui Town has never seen His Highness the Crown Prince in his life!"
Gu Youfu touched his face and agreed with Gao's words in his heart, but said, "Don't just look at the prince!"
He looked around and saw that none of the servants sent by Gu Zhao were around, so he lowered his voice and said, "Be smart and run away if you have the chance!"
Mrs. Gao woke up and nodded repeatedly.
"We can't let Duke Li's office know about it, and we can't let Gu Zhao know either, do you understand?"
Both sides are ruthless characters, and they will be offended by running away.
At the same time, in the front yard, in Gu Zhao's study, Jiang Miao was reporting to Gu Zhao.
"Sir, I don't think that couple is an honest and obedient person." Jiang Miao looked serious, completely different from her cute and lively appearance in front of Mr. Gao. "They often exchanged glances and secretly hid
He was muttering in the room, probably thinking something."
Gu Zhao smiled, "Yes, Gu Youfu is a person who thinks he is smart, and Gao is a bold person when there are benefits. They will definitely not be honest."
Especially since they originally wanted to take advantage of her and live a prosperous life, but in the end they were intimidated by her and had to bow their heads.
Now not only have they failed to achieve their goal, but they have also been manipulated by Gu Zhao, whom they have always looked down upon. How could they be willing to do so?
"However, their weaknesses are too obvious, so they are easy to deal with." Gu Zhao was confident.
Jiang Miao smiled, "Yes."
As an elite Xiaohe in the Crane Control Department, she has sneaked into officials' homes more than once to monitor and record their words and deeds, and her observation skills are first-class.
The most obvious weakness of Gu Youfu's family of four is greed.
The way Gu Youfu and his wife looked at the valuables in the room, and Gu Pandi's seemingly cowardly but actually selfish character were as obvious to Jiang Miao as fireworks in the night sky.
And greedy people will pay the price.
As Gao and Gu Pandi were looking forward to, the next day, someone came to measure their sizes and brought several boxes of clothing materials for them to choose from.
"Madam, Miss Pan, this is the best Tianyi Pavilion in the capital." Jiang Miao explained enthusiastically from the side, "Ordinary people can only go to the Tianyi Pavilion store to choose and buy, and only those with high status can do so.
Only the nobles will have the clothes lady from Tianyi Pavilion come to their door to measure the clothes and check the materials."
Gao's eyes shone brightly, and Gu Pandi's face turned red.
Jiang Miao's words opened the door to a new world for them. Do noble people live like this?
Ladies in clothes often move around among wealthy families, so they naturally know Gu Zhao's identity.
Although their real masters were of noble birth, they were very wary of Gu Zhao, an upstart who controlled the cranes, and they did not dare to provoke him.
There was no disdain on their faces towards these two women who still smelled of earth. Instead, they laughed and talked, making Gao and Gu Pandi so happy that they almost didn't know their last names.
"These materials are so beautiful." Gu Pandi felt as if she was in a dream. Was the table of gorgeous clothing materials in front of her really used to make clothes for her?
The lady pointed at the exquisite and gorgeous fabrics and recommended with a smile, "Miss, you have a slim figure and outstanding temperament. This coral color cannot be worn by others, but it will definitely look good on you, miss."
Gu Pandi took the piece of coral-colored material with a pattern of flowers and butterflies from her hand, gently put it on her shoulder, and took a look at the bronze mirror in front of her.
Is that girl with a happy face and gorgeous clothes in the mirror really her?
She had only seen such a scene in her dreams. Now it was real, wasn't it a dream?
It took almost a day to order eight sets of clothes for each of the four members of the Gu family.
The next day, the best jewelry store in Beijing came to the door. The ladies were also very eloquent. While doing Gao and Gu Pandi's hair and make-up, they recommended various jewelry.
On the third day, the best big merchants in Beijing came to visit. Shoes, belts, purses and various small accessories filled the whole room.
Not only were Gao and Gu Pandiru in their dreams, but Gu Youfu and Gu Jiabao also began to feel elated. This was the wealthy life they wanted.
"How much did it cost?" Gao screamed.
Jiang Miao repeated, "I heard that the total cost was more than 3,600 taels of silver."
Gu Pandi also screamed, "Three thousand? Six hundred? Three thousand six hundred taels of silver!"
Mrs. Gao exclaimed in disbelief, "Why do you want so much?" With so much money, it would be enough even for someone with as much money as her!
Jiang Miao looked calm and said, "This is not too much. After all, it is the expense of the four of you, Master and Madam. There is a saying that the tapestry material is called an inch of gold brocade, and it is not cheap."
"There is also the set of ruby headpieces that you chose, the master's set of mutton-fat jade accessories, and Miss Pan's set of gold and jade jewelry. Each set costs hundreds of taels."
Humph, Jiang Miao sneered in her heart.
Now it starts to sound expensive. When I was choosing, where did I get the confidence to choose the best and most expensive one?
Have they never thought about why Mr. Gu bought them so many good things?
Gu Pandi murmured, "So has the eldest sister lived such a good life these past six months?"
If you can spend thousands of taels on relatives like these who don't acknowledge them, how much money should Gu Zhao have?
If I had known earlier, they should have come to Beijing earlier and enjoyed themselves earlier.
Mr. Gao was not much better than her, his eyes were full of intoxication.
The silver, 3,600 taels, was used to make clothes and jewelry for them!
She worked hard to kill fish for people in Xishui Town. She was dirty and tired. She worked from morning to night, earning only two to three hundred coins a month. It took three months to save one tael of silver.
Gu Youfu earned more than she did, but most of it was bought and drank by him.
Over the years, the most Gao had in his hands was only sixty-seven taels of silver!
She will never be able to save three thousand six hundred taels in her life!
"Are all the people in Shangjing City so rich?" Gao lost some composure and asked, grabbing Jiang Miao's sleeve.
