Chapter 51: plan ahead
Could it be that she has always been generous to the maids, so this maid is getting more and more courageous?
She came back in ragged clothes, Chun Xing, Xia He, these big maids did not ask a word, these two big maids acted calmly. There is no nonsense for a word that should not be asked, and the tone is extremely accurate.
Among the maids who followed her, Rouge was straight. Straight to the point, as long as Gu Yuqi tells her not to talk too much, she will naturally not say more than half a word. Ran Mo is a taciturn person. When she is waiting on the side, she will not make any noise or meddle in her own business. Only this Bai Fu.
Seeing Gu Yuqi's face sinking, Bai Fu's heart trembled slightly, but in fact her heart was also very tangled.
Peach Blossom Forest's white-clothed men walked over, like a heavenly man, but at a glance, her heart was taken away, and the girl's love was beginning to open. Love at first sight is something that happens. Especially since that man's identity is still the prince of His Majesty, His Royal Highness Prince An, the heart of Bai Fu was completely lost.
Gu Yuqi clearly left with him, but now she came back in a state of embarrassment, how could she not have some bad associations, what happened between His Royal Highness Prince An and the young lady? If the young lady really fell, what about His Royal Highness Prince An?
She knelt down hurriedly. "Miss, calm down, this servant is just... just..."
"Just what?" Gu Yuqi looked at Bai Fu with a cold smile, "Could it be that I am really nice to you, so you are really getting carried away. His Royal Highness An Wang is not the same person as us, you better later Don't mention him in front of me. Not only in front of me, but also in front of anyone. What happened in Taolin today, no matter who asks. You have to say you don't know. I will come forward to explain. As for His Royal Highness An, even I don't worry about him. What kind of heart are you worried about? Bai Fu, I am here today to tell you very solemnly, His Royal Highness An is not what you see It's what you think. You'd better put away your shady thoughts, don't say that your lady hasn't reminded you. "
After she finished speaking, she put the empty bowl she drank in front of Bai Fu, "You go down. You don't need to serve here. Think about what I said just now. Keep it in your heart."
Bai Fu's heart is getting heavier and heavier. She has been in the government for four years. Gu Yuqi has always been like sisters to them. They get along very well. They eat together, study together, live together, and even play together. . Gradually, Bai Fu had already regarded Gu Yuqi as her sister, and she knew that it was wrong for her to suddenly ask His Highness Prince An, but she really wanted to know. But she didn't expect that Gu Yuqi would suddenly straighten her face and train her. Although there was no one else in the room except the two of them, Bai Fu's face was still on fire.
Gu Yuqi could see through her mind at a glance, which made her not feel ashamed and angry. Just like Gu Yuqi has stripped all her clothes off now, Gu Yuqi's harsh words didn't save her any face.
Bai Fu's aggrieved tears were rolling in her eyes, but she still raised her hand respectfully and Gu Yuqi handed over the empty bowl and retired.
Walking out of the room, the more Bai Fu thought about it, the more useless he became. Dian Mo, who came over with the food box, took a deep look at Bai Fu who was standing at the door of the room sobbing and frowned. Seeing Dian Mo's pair of black and white star eyes looking at him, Bai Fu hurriedly turned his head. Xiao ran out of the temple.
"Bai Fu was crying outside just now?" After Ran Mo entered the room and put down the push plate, Gu Yuqi asked with a long sigh.
"Yes." Ranmo nodded, and stood up with Gu Yuqi.
She doesn't say much, usually she answers what Gu Yuqi asks.
"Look at her more in the future." Gu Yuqi said helplessly, "If there is anything wrong with her, you must tell me immediately."
"Yes." Ran Mo nodded again, she opened the food box, and took out the dinner that Dai Mei had just prepared, a bowl of fresh shell porridge, and a few delicious side dishes.
Gu Yuqi was a little surprised by herself after she had trained Bai Fu so severely just now.
She knew that the reason why she reacted so much was because Bai Fu fell in love with Yun Ke at first sight. The current Bai Fu, like himself in the previous life, was fascinated by the man's appearance. But at least she still has the support of her status, what does Bai Fu have? If Bai Fu really follows Yun Ke in the future, I'm afraid the end will be worse than his own. This girl does not have such a delicate heart at all, let alone Zhang Wanyi, even if any other concubine by Yun Ke moves her fingers, this girl will die without a place to be buried.
She only hoped that she could wake up Bai Fuxun, and not just look at a person's surface and rush to it.
Bai Fu and these maids grew up with her, and she really didn't want to see Bai Fu walk down her own path and end up being doomed in the end. She has always felt that these four maids were chosen by her own hands, and they have been with her for so long. .
In this life, she wants to live a different life, and the people around her can't live any worse.
"You ask Yingrun to come in in a while, and I have something to ask her." Gu Yuqi felt full after eating a bowl of porridge, and put down the bowl and chopsticks and said to Ran Mo.
"Yes." Ranmo silently put away the tableware and chopsticks, and then quietly went out. It didn't take long for Yingrun to walk in.
"Miss, Sister Dianmo said you were looking for me." Runying came over for a while, and then raised her eyes to look at Gu Yuqi. She has a round face and a pair of big smart eyes, she looks so cute, the corners of her mouth are very cute. Born to be slightly upward, even when not smiling, it makes people feel very happy.
"Yeah. How much money do we have now?" Gu Yuqi asked her to sit down beside her.
"Why did you suddenly remember to check the accounts?" Runying was taken aback, and then smiled, "But the accounts are all in the house, so I didn't bring them out."
"A rough figure is fine. I'm not checking accounts, I just want to ask about the situation." Gu Yuqi smiled.
"The three stores that Miss invested three years ago are now profitable, and the other one will start to recover all the money invested in the previous month from next month." Runying said, "The slaves follow Miss's instructions. I have already sent someone to Kuizhou to buy a big house, and the shops there are also open. The spices from Kuizhou will be shipped to the capital tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. They will be sold in our spice shop at that time. Yes, pre-sale was carried out first, and the effect was good. Many families of Xungui have ordered the goods. The first batch of spices has actually been sold out, and the second batch has also been shipped. About half a month later Here it is. The combined income of the three stores in the past two months is about 30,000 taels of silver." Runying said with a smile all over her eyes, and her almond eyes also looked like ingots. She had a good smile. Gu Yuqi couldn't help but raised her hand and pinched her cheek as her eyes lit up at the mention of silver.
"Little money fan." Gu Yuqi smiled.
"Miss! How are you?" Runying sneered while covering her cheeks that had been pinched red by Gu Yuqi, "It's because of the maid who became a financial fanatic, but now the maid is the one who blames the servant." Her pouting appearance made her Even more cute, she was complaining about Gu Yuqi, but her eyes were full of bright stars, and she was also a little proud.
You must know that these shops are managed by her and her master. Even the experienced shopkeepers in the capital are not as good as the two of them.
With an income of 30,000 taels in two months, Gu Yuqi herself was a little surprised.
Three years ago, she thought of investing in the store by herself. She was completely preparing for her to take her mother to leave the Hou residence in the future. Life is impermanent. If you don't have some money, life will be difficult. After thinking about it, she still came up with a few ideas, so she quietly asked Rouge and Runying to sell a few pieces of her jewelry. Unexpectedly, Rouge was caught by her mother. Gu Yuqi wanted to hide it from Liang. She did it in private, and now she has to explain that she actually wants to make money.
At first, Mrs. Liang was very surprised and kept asking Gu Yuqi what she wanted for so much money. Gu Yuqi had no choice but to tell Liang Mrs. what she was thinking, but she was very euphemistic and did not say that she planned to leave the Hou residence. I just said that now the Hou Mansion has Liu, and Liu Yue has Gu Siyang and Gu Siyu. In the future, my father will definitely think about them more. Besides, it is better to have money now than to not be able to take it out when you need it.
Liang started to stare and said that as long as the mistress of the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion was still her, how could she let her daughter suffer.
Gu Yuqi comforted and explained in every possible way, Liang Shi is not a careless person, she is just angry that her daughter is so young and wants to start planning for herself, but she is not angry, but her daughter's proposal is right. She simply told Gu Yuqi not to sell her jewelry, and gave Gu Yuqi the private money of 5,000 taels.
At first, she didn't have any confidence in Gu Yuqi. Although she gave her daughter money, she also secretly bought some land to come back, in case she really wanted to take her daughter to leave the Hou residence in the future, whether it was returning to Jiangnan or staying in the capital, There is no land in hand. But Gu Yuqi gave her a big surprise. First, she opened a jewelry store, and the business was booming. Then she opened two grocery stores one after another, and the items sold were completely different from other grocery stores in the capital. The business is so good that even Liang finds it unbelievable.
She thought that her daughter would find someone to bring back those strange, expensive and deadly things that could not be sold in the capital.
Liang Shi really didn't know how her daughter didn't leave the door, and how did Ermenbumai know where to find someone to buy goods... Although she didn't show up herself, she asked Dongxue to take Runying with her. She makes lists and prices. But Gu Yuqi was the best in her heart, and she didn't bother to ask her daughter if she didn't tell her.
In the second year, Dong Xue and Run Ying were already familiar with each other, but Gu Yuqi actually let the two of them develop freely.
Dongxue and Runying are really born to do business. In three years, these three stores have opened in full swing. Gu Yuqi just instills a little modern marketing theory into them from time to time. Dong Xue and Run Ying can learn and use them, and their business is well done.
There are 30,000 taels of silver in two months, and by the end of the year, she will be a little rich. Gu Yuqi is really happier the more she thinks about it. Even if she leaves the Hou residence in the future, she will not worry about the money issue.
"That's right. I've come up with another idea in the past few days. You should listen to it and discuss it with your master to see what to do." Gu Yuqi was stimulated by the silver and suddenly opened her mind, and a light flashed in her mind. Department of pit Zhuang carry.
"Let's talk about it, miss." Runying is a standard money fan. As long as she has money to earn, she can stay up all day long, and she doesn't know who is responsible for her troubles. Her master, Dong Xue, is an extremely stable person.
Before, Gu Yuqi also asked her mother why Chun Xing and the others followed her mother for so many years and still did not get married. Now they are not too young, they are all in their thirties. The mother said with a smile that they had been determined to follow their mother all their lives and would never marry, and they would not leave the Liang family no matter what the Liang family said. They were all orphans rescued by General Liang from the border. This decision was made because I was grateful for the kindness of the Liang family.
So when Gu Yuqi handed over her four maids to them and worshipped them as teachers, Chun Xing and the others were overjoyed. The apprentices are equivalent to their own daughters, and each of them taught Daimei their own skills with heart and soul.
Gu Yuqi briefly said that she wanted to build an ancient logistics network. Runying began to listen in a daze. Gu Yuqi explained it several times, and she was as smart as Runying and immediately became enlightened.
She looked at her lady with admiration, "Miss, your idea is just..." She scoured her stomach before thinking of a word to describe, "It's absolutely amazing! If we set up our own horse team, it will not only transport our own goods. , and bring all the goods along the way, and then unload them along the way, not only can we handle our own cargo handling, but we can also make a fortune by this!"
She has followed Dongxue for the past three years, and her vision has long been wider than that of girls of the same age. When she understood what Gu Yuqi meant, her big eyes seemed to see silver falling from the sky. He almost squinted his eyes into the shape of ingots.
"Don't be too happy." Gu Yuqi nodded with a smile on the tip of her nose, "This is just an idea, but it will be very difficult in practice. We may have to find one or several security agencies to cooperate with, otherwise How to ensure the safety of the goods? You discuss with your master, and show me the plan first, I think it will work, then you can do it."
"Okay, okay!" Run Ying hurriedly stood up and ran out in a hurry. She was so happy that she even forgot to salute. She ran to the door and then remembered it. She hurriedly turned around to face Gu Yuqi for a blessing. " Do you have any other orders, Miss? If not, the servant will retire."
"Go, go." Gu Yuqi couldn't help but waved her hand with a smile. She knew that she was forcing this chick by her side now, and she didn't have the heart to accompany her anymore.
After Runying came out of the room, Gu Yuqi slowly stood up with the help of the table, moved to the bed and lay down.
It was late at night, and the mountain temple was especially ethereal and quiet, but Gu Yuqi couldn't fall asleep.
Today, Yun Ke's actions flashed through her mind as if she had seen a movie, making her tremble the more she thought about it.
I'm afraid Yun Ke won't let her go...
She sat up suddenly. According to the current situation, the fastest way for her to leave the capital is to get married immediately...
But, in such a hurry, where can I find someone to marry? Du Xia didn't even see a shadow. According to the time, he was still Yun Ke's secret guard. Today Yun Ke came out without even a secret guard, and he was really fat.
Gu Yuqi was so tangled to death, she really wanted to take Liang's family away from the capital immediately and avoid it far away...
The next day, Mrs. Liang came to see Gu Yuqi, and she was startled. Gu Yuqi's eyes were full of black energy. She struggled all night without falling asleep, and got up with a pair of black eye circles comparable to pandas.
After Liang Shi asked the doctor to re-diagnose Gu Yuqi's foot, after the mother and daughter had breakfast, Gu Yuqi asked all the people in the room to retreat, and took Liang Shi's hand.
"Please save my daughter, mother," she said pitifully looking at Mrs. Liang. She tossed and turned all night, and still made a difficult decision, that she was going to take her mother away. It's just that the mother is taken away for no reason, and the mother's consent needs to be obtained first.
Her words made Liang shi's heart just let go, and the exclamation came to her throat again.
"What kind of nonsense is Nang talking about!" Mrs Liang said in shock and anxiety, "Don't say anything unlucky, you are fine, where can you help me?"
"Mother listen to my daughter carefully." Gu Yuqi calmed down and said, "Daughter fell into the cave with His Royal Highness An Wang yesterday. In fact, he offended His Highness An Wang."
"What?" Mrs Liang's eyelids jumped and she asked hastily, "How did you, a little girl, offend His Royal Highness Prince An?"
Gu Yuqi told Liang Shi how she and Yun Ke fell into the stone room together, and Liang Shi's eyelids jumped a little more. After Gu Yuqi finished speaking, Liang Shi fell into deep thought.
After a long while, Mrs Liang said to Gu Yuqi earnestly, "Nan, there is no one here, you have to tell your mother honestly, what happened to you and His Royal Highness Prince An in the cave?" The daughter came back last night When she was so embarrassed, how could a mother not worry about her daughter's loss.
"Where will it happen? Mother, don't think about it." Gu Yuqi shook her head hurriedly and said, "He was injured when he fell, and his daughter just bandaged him. He only hugged her when she was taking her to the top of the cave. For a moment, it was a last resort. At other times, I didn't even touch my daughter's fingers." Gu Yuqi added, "When her daughter slapped her foot, His Royal Highness An Wang helped her, so Rouge will In a hurry, I wanted to separate from His Royal Highness Prince An, but he was pushed into a tree and fainted."
What Gu Yuqi said was basically true, but she still concealed some things.
Liang pondered for a long time, and what Gu Yuqi said now matched exactly what Rouge heard in her mouth. It seemed that her daughter was telling the truth and not lying.
She really didn't expect her daughter to be so bold that a maid kicked the king of the dynasty.
Last night, Xia He came back and said that His Royal Highness Prince An was injured. I'm afraid that when he is healed, he will definitely settle the account with his daughter... It's no wonder that Gu Yuqi has two huge dark circles under her eyes. This kind of thing, most likely can not sleep.
"In this way, Mother will send you to Jiangnan overnight." Mrs Liang thought for a while and said, "It is expected that His Royal Highness Prince An will not wake up for a while."
"No." Gu Yuqi shook her head, "Jiangnan is Grandpa's ancestral home, so it will be easy for His Highness to find him."
"Then what should we do?" Liang said with a frown.
"Why don't my mother send a letter back to my father and let my father help us hide this matter together. Wouldn't it be better for my mother to go to Kuizhou with me?" Gu Yuqi said. "The mother has to decide a marriage for her daughter immediately. This will break the mind of His Royal Highness Prince An."
"Kuizhou? And getting married soon??" Mrs. Liang only felt that her forehead was hurting even more now.
Where is Kuizhou? It is the border of the Three Kingdoms between Daqi, Rouran and Daliang. There are many fish and dragons. How can I get to that kind of place?
She shook her head, "No, not Kuizhou!"
"Mother, listen to me, Kuizhou is the best place." Gu Yuqi hurriedly persuaded, "There is the border of the Three Kingdoms, if King An really pursues it, let's just walk wherever, no matter how long King An's sleeves are, Is it possible to reach out to Daliang and Rouran? Rouran was defeated by his father, at least in the past few years, there will be no change, even if they want to fight, they will not fight from Kuizhou, after all, on the side of Kuizhou It's Daliang, if you don't handle it properly, Rouran may be attacked on both sides. If Rouran does anything else, it will be time for us to leave." Gu Yuqi is a plug-in, so she naturally knows when there will be a war and when it won't. In the war, Kuizhou has always been safe in the last life.
"You give your mother some time first and let her think about it." Liang's mind is now muddled by Gu Yuqi's words.
Taking her daughter out of the capital is a big deal, and Gu Yuqi can't just say what she says.
She really needs to calm down and think about it.
Besides, although this kind of thing seems to be a matter of mother and daughter, it also involves the Hou residence and Gu Huaizhong.
"Nang, you have a good rest first." Mrs. Liang settled down, "Mom go back and think about it, and I will give you an answer tomorrow morning at the latest."
"But what if His Royal Highness An's Highness..." Gu Yuqi also knew that there was no hurry, but the current situation is that Yun Ke may use this as an excuse to tie her to his side at any time.
Gu Yuqi can't afford to gamble.
"Mother, go to visit His Royal Highness King Fu." Mrs. Liang thought for a while and said, "Nang can rest assured to recover first."
After speaking, she got up and left Gu Yuqi's room.
"Chun Xing, come with me." As soon as she left the room, she immediately called Chun Xing, who was waiting at the door, and hurriedly left Gu Yuqi's door with her.
Liang Shi first wrote a letter to Chun Xing, ordering her to deliver it to Gu Huaizhong, the Duke of Dingyuan, in the capital. After Chun Xing left, she changed her clothes and ordered Xia He to follow her. Temple in the mountains.
