How crazy is the Li family, dare to take the initiative to provoke.
Are you courting death
She didn't bother the Li family, and the Li family dared to take the initiative to come to her. They really regarded her as an ordinary housewife who could be bullied at will.
Gu Jiu's face darkened, "Go, call Qian Fu here."
Qian Fu is Liu Zhao's internal servant, mainly responsible for external affairs.
Gu Jiu asked straight to the point: "Did the young master ask you to collect information about the Li family? Give me a copy."
Qian Fu was surprised, "What does Madam want the Li family's information?"
Gu Jiu sneered, "The Li family is calling, how can I sit and wait for death. Give me a copy of the information."
"The old slave complies."
Qian Fu went to get the information, still thinking in his heart that he should report this matter to the young master.
Gu Jiu got the information of Li's family and flipped through it page by page.
Liu Zhao looked silent, but secretly collected a lot of black history of the Li family. Even the witnesses and physical evidence have been found, and they just wait for the time to attack.
Gu Jiu stopped suddenly, staring at a certain page in the document, reading word by word.
Finally, she asked Qian Fu, "Is the Yuhua Lane in the south all owned by the Li family?"
"Exactly!" Qian Fu bowed and said.
Gu Jiu smiled softly, "I never thought that the Li family would be a well-known landlord in the capital."
"Since Li Zhaoyi became pregnant, her status in the palace has risen, and the Li family and his son have bought land and real estate. It is not bad to say that the Li family is a well-known landlord in the capital. However, in Yuhua Lane, the Li family used some tricks to get it. Got it. But that place is not good, and the business has been unable to do business. The Li family lost money in this business."
"Why can't business be done?"
"When it rains heavily, it will be flooded to the waist. The goods are rotted by the water. It turns out that there are merchants who went there to do business there because of the low rent, and they all moved away within a year. The place is too bad. It’s all poor people who live there.”
Gu Jiu smiled softly, "The Li family's father and son are so shrewd, how can they do business at a loss? Is there something famous here?"
"I heard that the people from the south deliberately set up a trick to trap the Li family and his son. Now there is a kind of scammer who specializes in targeting upstarts who don't have a deep background to cheat money. When they find out that it's a scam, people have already Just run away."
Gu Jiu was curious, "Didn't the Li family and his son go to the site to check before they bought Yuhua Lane?"
Qian Fu said: "Go. Before going, the scammers had already made preparations and hired people to be popular on the street. When the Li family and his son went to the scene to check, naturally there was no problem. Huaxiang is a treasured land of geomantic omen, and the entire alley was bought at a high price. It was only when the rent was collected that I found out that I was cheated."
Gu Jiu laughed out loud, "Mrs. Ben is very curious about who this liar is? I really want to meet him. So, the Li family is very anxious to sell the entire property in Yuhua Lane?"
"Exactly! But everyone in the capital knows that Yuhua Lane is not good, and it will be very difficult for the Li family to make a move."
Gu Jiu smiled and said: "The Li family is lucky this time, Mrs. Ben is very interested in Yuhua Lane."
Gu Jiu wanted to be the developer of the Great Zhou Dynasty, but he never expected that the opportunity would come so early.
She also plans to become a developer when she saves enough capital of 100,000 taels.
Start with the capital first, and then radiate to the whole country.
She is determined to become the largest developer of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
As the largest developer, she is naturally a super rich woman.
Qian Fu turned pale with shock, "Does Madam want to buy Yuhua Lane? You can't buy it, and whoever buys it will suffer."
Gu Jiu smiled softly, "Don't worry. Just ask the people around me, have I ever lost money in business these years?"
Qingmei and Qian Fu said: "I want Eunuch Qian to know that any business that is impossible to do in the eyes of others can make money in the hands of my wife. Yuhua Lane is no exception."
Qian Fu was in doubt.
Gu Jiu didn't explain much, but asked, "How many houses are there in Yuhua Lane?"
"There are a total of 105 houses with 178 shops."
"If my wife remembers correctly, there is an inner river behind Yuhua Lane?"
"Exactly. But the river is very dirty. In summer, it smells so bad that people and animals can't get close to it."
Gu Jiu smiled softly, "It doesn't matter, as long as there is a river. The Li family sells Yuhua Lane, what is the price?"
"All the houses in Yuhua Lane are for sale, and the Li family is asking for one hundred thousand taels."
"Tell him to go away. That kind of broken place, one hundred thousand taels, just dream. You find someone with a northwest accent, say he is from the northwest, and come forward to talk to the Li family about this business. I will give you a reserve price. Wanliang, take down the entire Yuhua Lane."
"Ten thousand taels? Ma'am, the Li family will definitely not agree. They bought Yuhua Lane and spent a total of fifty thousand taels."
Gu Jiu smiled softly, "If the Li family doesn't agree, they might as well divert the water from the inland river into Yuhua Lane. This will let the Li family know that business is not something they can do if they want to. There is no reason not to pay tuition for business."
"But..." Qian Fu looked puzzled, and decided that this was an impossible task. Madam made it hard for him.
"You think it's impossible, impossible?"
Gu Jiu looked at Qian Fu with a half-smile.
Qian Fu bowed and said: "This old slave is stupid and can't do it."
"Bai Zhong!"
"The little one is here."
Gu Jiu asked directly: "I'll give you 10,000 taels to buy the entire Yuhua Lane, can you do it?"
"I also ask Madam to add another one thousand taels, and the younger one needs to ask someone to play the game."
"That is to say, if I give you 10,000 taels, can you buy the entire Yuhua Lane?"
"Reporting to Madam, yes, the little one can buy the entire Yuhua Lane for 10,000 taels."
Gu Jiu looked at Qian Fu again.
Qian Fu was in doubt.
Gu Jiu was straightforward, "Bai Zhong, I'll leave this job to you. After you finish this job, whether to go to the south of the Yangtze River or stay in the capital is your choice.
If you stay in the capital, I will hand over the renovation project of Yuhua Lane to you. But the premise is that you go to Shaofu to learn how to build a house and learn how to control costs from the masters.
Mrs. Ben has never done business at a loss. This time in Yuhua Lane, Mrs. Ben will not only scrape off a layer of skin from the Li family, but also make him a fortune. Prepare for future plans. "
Bai Zhong looked excited, "The little one is willing to stay in the capital."
The world of flowers and flowers in the south of the Yangtze River is indeed very attractive, but Bai Zhong firmly believes that only by staying with his master can he develop greatly.
Gu Jiu nodded, "Okay, you stay in the capital and ask Rong Xin to take someone to the south of the Yangtze River. Do your job well, and don't reveal your identity until the job is done, and don't let the Li family realize that it was Mrs. Ben who bought the rain flowers. Lane. The Li family bullied the door, and this time Mrs. Ben will definitely slap her back hard."
Bai Zhong said excitedly: "The madam wants to slap the Li family in the face, the younger one will pass the knife to the madam."
"Mrs. Ben is the one who likes to hand out knives. You go down first, think about how to deal with this matter, and how to deal with your game? After thinking about it, report it up, and I will approve the money for you."
"Little one obeys."
Bai Zhong backed away excitedly.
Gu Jiu looked at the bewildered Qian Fu, "Eunuch Qian is good at dealing with outside affairs, collecting all kinds of information for you. I shouldn't ask Eunuch Qian to discuss business, that's not what Eunuch Qian is good at. Before, let Qian I'm really sorry that the father-in-law is in trouble."
"Madam killed the old slave. The old slave is really curious, what method will Madam use to buy Yuhua Lane worth 50,000 taels for 10,000 taels?"
Gu Jiu smiled mysteriously, "Let's keep it secret for now. After the matter is completed, I will solve the mystery for Eunuch Qian."
"The old slave will wait and see."
This time, Gu Jiu not only wanted to make the Li family bleed, but also to make the Li family regret their mistakes.
If she doesn't call back anyone who dares to steal her business and poach her, the Li family will not know what is good or bad.
Do you really think that this business is just done by the Li family
The tuition fee of tens of thousands of taels is far from enough, and she wants to make the Li family pay more tuition fees until they go bankrupt.
Gu Jiu continued to browse through the documents.
The Li family has been crazy for the past two years, and they have to touch everything.
In the west, north, east, and south, there is no business that the Li family dare not touch.
They even want to get their hands on the racecourse.
I really don't know how much money the Li family has accumulated in the past few years.
Gu Jiu thought about it, and wrote a letter to Da Zhuang, explaining various things.
Then send someone to deliver the letter.
…
A few days later, Li's jewelry store opened.
Gu Jiu sat in a carriage without an emblem and appeared in Zhenbaozhai.
Li's Jubaozhai was opened opposite Zhenbaozhai, and it was clearly intended to compete with Zhenbaozhai.
Not only that, they also learned various business methods of Zhenbaozhai.
For example, if you are a big bargain at the opening, you will get a 20% discount directly.
When you enter the store for consumption, free snacks and tea are provided.
A gong and drum team was invited to beat at the door, which was very lively.
Even if you don't go in to buy things, you can't help but look at it when you hear the movement.
The shopkeeper stood in front of Gu Jiu, "Ma'am, once the Li family's shop opens, our business will definitely be affected. What should we do?"
"Have you forgotten what Madam Ben told you at the beginning? Our Zhenbaozhai is a boutique line, and there will be no more than ten pieces of jewelry of each style. Do you think the Jubaozhai opposite can do this?"
Shopkeeper Qiu was stunned for a moment, "The Li family just followed the pattern and invited craftsmen from the general supervisor. They didn't know the most important design of our Zhenbaozhai. It's no problem for those craftsmen to make jewelry according to the pictures. Let them make jewelry by themselves. The design is too difficult for them."
Gu Jiu smiled softly, "Now you have nothing to worry about."
"Madam is right, there is nothing to worry about."
Gu Jiu said again: "Tell them to be proud for a few days, and then they will know that going against our Zhenbaozhai will not end well."
Leaving Zhenbaozhai, Gu Jiu told Song Zheng, "Arrange a few more people to come and guard. My wife is worried that the Li family may jump over the wall in a hurry and use unscrupulous methods. It's okay if you don't."
"Let's make arrangements for the humble job. It's fine if the Li family doesn't come. If you dare to send people to play tricks, they will never return."
Gu Jiu nodded, "I'll leave the safety of Zhenbaozhai to you. If something goes wrong, I won't find anyone else, but you."
Song Zheng put pressure on Shan and doubled the number of people originally set.
Gu Jiu left in the carriage.
Leave all the noise behind you.
She told the driver to go to Yuhua Lane.
Yuhua Lane is really a place that people don't want to set foot on.
The sewage was flowing and the stench was suffocating.
Shops closed down one after another.
But there are quite a few people living in it, most of them are from poor families, and there are some unidentified people.
Gu Jiu stood at the intersection and took a few glances.
Don't look at this alley being disliked by people nowadays, the location is excellent.
It is also adjacent to the Inner City River.
If a wharf is built by the river, the goods will come in directly and go ashore in Yuhua Lane, and the value of Yuhua Lane will double.
When she successfully transforms the entire Yuhua Lane into a street that makes people feel comfortable physically and mentally, the houses in Yuhua Lane will increase in value by at least ten or a hundred times.
Gu Jiu is very confident about the future of Yuhua Lane.
The Li family guarded Baoshan and didn't know how to use it. They still stayed at the primitive business level and only knew about buying and selling. It is intolerable for the Li family not to pay tuition fees.
Gu Jiu didn't stop there, she got into the carriage and was going to visit the pharmacy.
As a result, her carriage was blocked halfway.
She raised the curtains of the car and looked outside.
The door of the other party's carriage opened, and Princess Fuya was sitting in it.
Gu Jiu understood it in his heart.
This was not an accident, Princess Fuya deliberately blocked her carriage, apparently for the sake of Luo Fuzi.
Gu Jiu sat in the carriage, bowed slightly, "Meet Your Highness the Princess."
Fu Ya stared at Gu Jiu, "Madam Zhao, would you like to have a drink with Bengong?"
"The junior is honored."
"Then follow me to the teahouse in front."
"His Royal Highness leads the way."
When they came to the teahouse, Gu Jiu followed Princess Fuya into the backyard.
The backyard is full of birds and flowers, and is very elegantly decorated.
They drank tea among the flowers, accompanied by the spring breeze and the fragrance of flowers, very comfortable.
The maids all retreated behind the doorway and were not allowed to come in without orders.
Princess Fuya made a gesture of invitation, "This is the new tea of this year, Madam Zhao has a taste or two."
"His Royal Highness, the younger generation will be disgusted."
After finishing speaking, Gu Jiu picked up the teacup and took a sip.
"How?" Princess Fuya asked.
Gu Jiu thought about it for a while, "The fragrance of tea is long and refreshing, so it's naturally good tea."
Princess Fuya smiled, "Good tea should be matched with someone who understands tea. You are someone who understands tea."
"The juniors only know a little bit, and dare not say they understand tea."
Princess Fuya was holding the teacup, obviously a little uneasy.
Gu Jiu didn't take the initiative to speak.
It's better for her to pretend she doesn't know anything.
After a long time, Princess Fuya finally opened her mouth and asked: "I heard that Mr. Luo, who teaches in the Hou's Mansion, is ill. Has Mrs. Zhao visited?"
Gu Jiu nodded, "The junior went to visit and arranged for someone to take care of him. According to the report, Mr. Luo's condition has improved."
"Is her illness serious?" Princess Fuya looked at Gu Jiu nervously.
Gu Jiu thought about it for a while, and said, "Mr. Luo is depressed. The worsening of her illness before has something to do with her mood. I also persuaded her to relax and recuperate. But she didn't seem to listen."
Princess Fuya pursed her lips with a serious face, "Where does she live? Is she still in the Hou Mansion?"
Gu Jiu shook her head slightly, "Because she was afraid of getting sick, she was moved out of the Hou's mansion. Now she lives in the back alley of the Hou's mansion, in a yard with an iron ring on the door. There are two women looking after her, and the medicine shop is over there. Every day, someone will send her medicine and decoction. The doctor will check her pulse every three days and revise the prescription."
Princess Fuya held the teacup tightly, "Has she lost weight?"
Gu Jiu nodded, "I've lost a lot of weight."
"Are you old?"
Gu Jiu didn't know how to answer.
After thinking about it, she said, "It's what she should look like at her age."
Princess Fuya laughed, "I'm getting old too."
She raised her hand and lifted the broken hair from her temples, "I'm not young anymore."
Gu Jiu was silent.
Princess Fuya said to her solemnly: "I will remember everything you have done to Mr. Luo in my heart. Instead, the palace will send you a post to invite you to drink."
"Everything is at the discretion of Her Royal Highness the Princess."
Princess Fuya left and went to visit Mr. Luo in a carriage.
Gu Jiu is actually very curious, Princess Fuya can come to see Mr. Luo directly. Why did you ask her to inquire about the situation before going
Is it because she hasn't seen her for many years and she is timid and needs someone to help her make up her mind
She didn't know much about the relationship between Princess Fuya and Mr. Luo. But it didn't prevent her from understanding the timidity in their hearts.
There is a person hidden in my heart, and I dare not meet each other, so I can only inquire about the other party's news.
Knowing that the other party is seriously ill, I want to see but are afraid to meet. I am afraid that after meeting, I will leave more regrets, and I am even more afraid that I will regret it.
Tangled, contradictory, has been unable to make up my mind.
Until one day, I finally figured out that if I don't meet again in this life, I'm afraid I won't have the chance to meet him again, so I made up my mind to meet that person.
Gu Jiu looked at the carriage going away, hoping that Princess Fuya and Mr. Luo could untangle their hearts and live the rest of their lives in peace.
However, the day failed.
Two days later, Er Zhuang sent someone to report that Mr. Luo's condition had suddenly worsened, and the medicine stone was ineffective.
