Bai Yu was worried and quickly persuaded: "Why do you, a young lady, need to do such a small thing? Just ask the people below to bring up the account books, and you can just wait at the house."
Do you really want to wait until the fake accounts are ready before sending them over?
Gu Changan was not that stupid. He smiled and said: "After all, this is my mother's property. I'm so old. Since I choose to take over, I have to take it seriously. I went to the shop to collect the account books. It was also an inspection. By the way,
Go and see how a normal shop is run."
"Those are all things that servants do, why do you need to go there specially? At that time, outsiders will laugh at it, saying that the young lady of the Gu family has to do everything herself." Bai Yuluo said unwillingly, "If you are worried, I will send someone to you now.
If you hurry up, I should have the account book in your hands in three or two days."
Gu Changan was unmoved, "Those are just jealous and casual slanders from outsiders. I don't care. Let them talk if they want to. Do you still need them to point out the matter of collecting account books? Auntie, don't worry about it. I
You know it yourself.”
Bai Yuluo's expression was stern, but he couldn't do anything to Gu Changan.
"My aunt is worried about me, so it's better to worry about yourself first." Gu Changan smiled slightly, "After all, I can't get rid of the dirt in my eyes. If someone uses any tricks behind my back, I will definitely pay it back a hundred times a thousand times."
She turned to look at Bai Yuluo and said, "I believe my aunt must have felt it deeply yesterday."
After being reminded like this, the humiliation of being pinned down on the dining table yesterday came over her like a tidal wave. Her face turned a bit pale, and she finally stood up uncontrollably.
"Since Chang'an has such an idea, I won't say more and I'll leave first."
Gu Changan looked at Bai Yuluo, who was already a little out of sorts, and smiled: "Auntie, you are in such a hurry to leave, why don't you sit down and continue chatting with me?"
Bai Yuluo regarded Gu Changan as a scourge and did not dare to stay any longer. He left Fanghua Garden in a hurry without even having time to respond to Gu Changan's words.
"That's it, you want to fight with me."
Gu Changan narrowed his eyes and smiled.
Regardless of whether Gu Changan's words were intentional or unintentional, Bai Yuluo felt a deep sense of crisis. She could not calm down when she returned to Furong Garden. She could only call Shabi to give many instructions, and she felt a little more at ease.
After Shabi left, Gu Weirou came in. She noticed that something seemed to have happened, so she came in and asked, "Mom, what's wrong?"
Seeing his precious daughter, Bai Yuluo smiled and waved for her to come over.
Gu Weirou walked over and took Bai Yuluo's hand and asked, "Did Gu Changan do something wrong again?"
"It's okay, she can't make any waves." Bai Yuluo shook his head.
Gu Changan is just a yellow-haired girl. What does she have to be afraid of? As a person who has never tried to do business, what will happen to her even if she really sees the account book?
Can she see any flaw?
Bai Yuluo didn't believe that Gu Changan had this ability.
She gently stroked Gu Weirou's hair and asked in a low voice: "I forgot to see your brother when I came back yesterday. How is he? He wasn't scared by that bitch Gu Changan."
Gu Weirou shook her head, "No, Gu Changlin felt guilty about what happened yesterday, so he took Xu Jie out to play, and he hasn't come back yet."
Bai Yuluo's face suddenly darkened a bit, and he said: "Why are you following Gu Changlin? When he comes back, ask Shabi to put him in the room to study. The exam for the Imperial College entrance exam is coming soon, and he can't do it now."
How can you get in when the time comes!"
…
The spring rain continued all night long. When Gu Changan got up, the unique fragrance after the rain floated in from the window. She was in a good mood today, and Peony and Iris were ready to go out early.
Not long after, there was a knock on the door, "Miss, the carriage is ready, let's set off."
Gu Changan yawned and went out. Her destination today was the largest silk and satin shop in the capital, Zhijintang.
There is a kind of silk and satin called "brocade" in Zhijintang. It is as light as cicada wings, just like weaving by fairies in heaven. The cloth will show a faint luster in the sun. This radiant quality, the name brocade also means weaving gold.
No one from the palace to the aristocratic family disliked this silk and satin, so it was the most prosperous silk and satin shop, and this shop was the most valuable asset in the dowry that Su Qin brought at that time.
The Gu family has occupied Zhijin Hall for so many years, but they don't know how much benefit it has brought to them.
No matter who has such a cash cow, they will definitely not hand it over so easily.
As soon as Gu Changan got off the carriage, he saw the magnificent building of Zhijin Hall. The entrance of the hall was filled with people coming and going. The business going in and out was very lively, and it could be seen that every customer here was very rich.
That's expensive.
Shaoyao said: "Wow, this is too big. This business is so full, I must be making a lot of money every day. It's irritating to think that all this money has gone into Furongyuan's pocket!"
Gu Changan smiled and said nothing.
The master and servant stepped into the Zhijin Hall. The hall was much more spacious than it looked from the outside, and there were many salesmen. Wherever the customers were, the salesmen would follow them to sell them.
So when Gu Changan appeared, her beauty immediately attracted the attention of several idle waiters. They looked at each other and rushed to Gu Changan's side.
I saw a person squeeze out from the side, first tripped the first thin boy, and then pushed the rest away, walking towards Gu Changan like a winner.
The waiter was average-looking, but his eyebrows were crooked. Although he smiled, he didn't make him feel comfortable at all.
Gu Changan saw this and waited for the waiter to come forward.
The clerk said: "This lady came to the store to see something. We have recently released a new fabric, which is improved from brocade. It is lighter and more beautiful when worn than before..."
"No, I'm not here to buy silk."
Gu Changan interrupted the waiter's eloquent recommendation.
The waiter's expression changed, and he looked Gu Changan up and down, only to realize that although this girl was very beautiful, the fabric of her clothes was not that good, and there were even signs of wear on the cuffs.
What kind of lady is this?
"Go, go, go!" The waiter's attitude changed drastically, and he showed disgust in his eyes as if changing his face. He drove Gu Changan and Shaoyao away with his hands, "It's really unlucky. No one dares to step into our Zhijin Hall? If you don't want to buy something, don't block it.
Destroyed our financial resources!"
Shaoyao was really offended by the waiter's snobbish look, and pointed at his nose and said: "Don't look down on others, my lady is the owner of your Zhijin Hall!"
When the waiter heard this, he burst into laughter.
The loud laughter immediately attracted the attention of others in the hall.
With the attention of other people, the man became more energetic. He called on everyone and laughed at Gu Changan and the two of them: "Come and take a look, everyone. There is someone here who dares to shamelessly claim to be the master of our Zhijin Hall!"
