Gu Jiu came to the flower hall and saw that they were all familiar people.
The sisters of the Gu family, the sisters of the Wei family, the female family members of the Han family, and Miss Qu who had met once.
When Miss Qu saw Gu Jiu, she shivered subconsciously.
Obviously she still has a strong shadow in her heart.
Back then, Gu Jiu dealt with her in front of Shizi Han, but she didn't give her any face.
Miss Qu knew that Gu Jiu had a noble status and was in the limelight.
Some time ago, she was the only person chatting in the mansion, which shows how popular she is.
So she decided to avoid his sharp edge, hide in the crowd, and resolutely refrain from coming forward to join in the fun.
However, her heart is still very contemptuous.
A housewife who doesn't care for her husband and raise her children well, shows up in public all day long, does business and makes money like a man, is not virtuous at all.
Moreover, they have been married for two full years without any movement in their stomachs, which is a heinous crime.
Miss Qu maliciously speculated whether Gu Jiu would be divorced one day if she had no children.
Of course, Miss Qu would have these ideas, and it wasn't entirely her own. Aunt Qu contributed a lot, but she often arranged Gu Jiu's gossip in front of Miss Qu.
Who told Gu Jiu to bully Miss Qu back then.
If you can't get back the scene, you have to live your mouth anyway. Commonly known as mouth cannon.
The sisters were all there, Gu Jiu greeted each of them.
Everyone is familiar with each other, and the conversation is naturally very casual, without any unfamiliarity.
As we talked, we talked about Yuhua Lane.
Gu Qi and Gu Ying, under Gu Mei's persuasion, invested a thousand taels of silver each.
Unexpectedly, this thousand taels of silver earned them back three thousand taels in one year.
For this money, both of them were pleasantly surprised.
When I invested the money back then, I was already prepared. If the money could not be collected back, I would treat it as a favor for my sisters.
Obviously they underestimated Gu Jiu's ability to make money.
Gu Qi and Gu Ying chatted around Gu Jiu.
"Sister Xiaojiu, you have kept us a secret. If I had known that you were a fortune-telling boy, I would have given you the silver at the bottom of the box, so I could make more money."
Gu Jiu laughed, "Back then I asked my sisters about raising funds, but I wasn't sure I could make money. My sisters trusted me with five conditions. I'm really grateful."
"My sister, why are you being polite. Next time you need money, just ask."
"I thank the two sisters first."
Gu Teng's wife, Mrs. Hu, was very fortunate, "It seems that I still have a little foresight. This time I followed the light, and my private house money was a few thousand taels more."
Gu Jiu smiled and said, "My sister admires sister-in-law's vision."
The Hu family had no contact with her before this. From Zhenbaozhai alone, Hu concluded that Yuhua Lane could make money, and specially asked Gu Teng to invest the money in her. This vision is very sharp.
Hu took Gu Jiu's hand, "Second Aunt is polite. I don't know how to do business, but I trust Second Aunt."
After a pause, she lowered her voice and asked again: "I heard that the second aunt bought a large piece of land outside the South City Gate. Although I don't know what the second aunt is going to do, I trust you. I plan to invest five thousand taels, I don't know Second aunt, would you like to accept my money?"
It has to be said that Hu's vision is very unique, she has been optimistic about Gu Jiu from the very beginning.
Neither she nor Gu Teng are good at making a living economically, but it doesn't matter. She firmly believed that if she followed Gu Jiu, she would have broth to drink.
Gu Jiu laughed, "Why don't you want to. My sister-in-law is not afraid that I will lose money in business, and she is willing to invest money. I can't ask for more. But I still want to tell my sister-in-law that the business outside the South City Gate is definitely not as good as Yuhua Lane The income. And the cycle is relatively long, as short as one or two years, and as long as two or three years. Has my sister-in-law thought it through clearly?"
Mrs. Hu said affirmatively: "If you keep money at home, you can't make a penny. Give it to the second aunt, even if the income is low, it is still a profit. It is better than sitting on the mountain. When the second aunt needs money, I will ask my husband to give it to you." The silver will be sent to you."
Gu Jiu pursed her lips and smiled, she really admired Hu's vision and courage.
Especially when the two are not familiar with each other, Hu's trust is particularly precious. This courage to do things has also surpassed Xie's many streets.
Gu Jiu felt wronged for Mrs. Hu, it's a shame to have a mother-in-law like Mrs. Xie!
However, I believe that with Hu's methods, she can easily deal with Xie's making things difficult and his strange temper.
Gu Jiu said: "There is no rush. I will send someone to notify my sister-in-law when the new year begins."
"Then it's settled."
Gu Shan, Gu Lin, and Gu Jun were very resentful.
Gu Shan said quietly: "I had an opportunity to earn pocket money with my second sister, but I missed it for nothing. We have been annoyed for a long time. Second sister, although we have little money and can't get into your eyes, we still want to eat with you Order broth, I wonder if the second sister will dislike it?"
Gu Jiu laughed, and couldn't help pinching Gu Shan's cheek, "Speaking of yourself so pitifully, did Madam miss your pocket money?"
Gu Shan laughed, she was very close to Gu Jiu.
"The pocket money given by my mother can't compare to making money by myself. Over the years, I have also saved two hundred taels, and my second sister will hate it."
Gu Jiu smiled and said, "Don't say two hundred taels, even two taels of silver, I won't dislike it."
Back when the Yuhua Lane project was raising funds, Nanny Fang only invested fifty taels, and the other little maids voted for ten taels, some for five taels, and Gu Jiu would not refuse anyone who came.
She never disliked because of the lack of money.
Silver is silver, no matter if it is one tael or one hundred taels, she will not dislike it.
She would only dislike people, such as Gu Yue who just arrived.
Gu Yue came to Daihou's mansion for a banquet with a full stomach, of course, the main purpose was not to show off, but to win the relationship.
Her current status is Liangdi of the Wangfu, a concubine.
If she wanted to gain a firm foothold in the palace and let Princess Chu be a stalker, she had to rely not only on herself, but also on the child in her womb, and more importantly, on her natal family.
Look at her natal family, it's either the Hou's Mansion, the Duke's Mansion, or the Prince's Mansion. Either Madam, or Young Mistress.
Everyone is distinguished.
Her natal family relationships include the Gu family of the Marquis of Pingnan, the Wei family of Duke Zhu's mansion, the Han family of Daihou's mansion, the Pei family of Luhou's mansion, and other families of meritorious generals.
As for Prince Ning's Mansion, she was directly excluded.
With such a powerful network of relationships, how could she just watch and not win over.
She smiled like a flower, and greeted everyone enthusiastically, changing her past indifference and poisonous tongue.
But some things are definitely not what you want.
When Gu Yue was in her natal family, she offended almost all her sisters, and her sister-in-law was also despised by her.
At this time, if she wants to win a relationship, it depends on whether he is happy or not.
Gu Rui's wife, Grandma Zhou, was not happy.
She still remembered that when she met Gu Yue for the first time, she left a bad impression on him.
When she got married, Gu Yue even left the stage early, as if he didn't bother to drink her wedding wine.
That's how people are. When she doesn't like someone, she can't help but criticize him.
Grandma Zhou is an open-minded person, and she doesn't know why she is so stingy, why she doesn't like Gu Yue, maybe this is a woman's self-consciousness.
She was polite to Gu Yueke, with a sense of strangeness and alienation in her politeness. Anyway, just do your duty as a relative.
Gu Yue was not happy in her heart, and sneered secretly, despising Grandma Zhou in her heart, she was just filling in a house, what a miracle.
Maybe Gu Rui's heart is still on Jia Shi.
Grandma Zhou clearly felt Gu Yue's contempt for her, although Gu Yue had a warm smile on her face.
However, the woman's self-consciousness told her that Gu Yue didn't like her, and even hated her. Maybe he was still secretly scolding her in his heart.
Grandma Zhou said politely: "Di Liang is polite."
They didn't call Sangu grandma, but directly called Liang Di, which widened the distance between the two parties.
The muscles on Gu Yue's face twitched, and he said with a half-smile: "Madam in the lobby is polite. Is the sister-in-law getting along with Cousin Gu Rui? I'm really worried."
"Thank you Liang Di for your concern, we are fine."
"Really? Then I feel relieved. When I think about the big brother who once said to Jia's sister-in-law..."
It's really a pot that doesn't open.
However, Gu Yue underestimated Grandma Zhou.
Grandma Zhou smiled slightly, "My husband is a person of great affection, so it's only natural that he misses Mrs. Jia. Di Liang is really worried about me."
puff!
Pei Yun couldn't help laughing out loud.
Pei Yun married Wei Dalang, the eldest son of Duke Zhu's mansion, and became Gu Mei's cousin, so Gu Mei's flower feast was naturally indispensable to her.
Pei Yun glanced at Gu Yue with a half-smile, and sized her up from head to toe, "Liangdi must be very free in the palace. Think about it, you are pregnant now, you don't need to go to bed, you don't even need to greet her, so naturally you are very free.
When this person is free, he likes to think about things that he shouldn't have. For the sake of my relatives, I kindly remind Liang Di not to meddle in other people's business. Being in the palace, one must know how to know the truth, Liangdi must keep it in mind. "
Gu Yue was embarrassed.
She dared to yell at Grandma Zhou, but she didn't dare to yell at Pei Yun.
Pei Yun is the pro-daughter of Luhou Peiren, and also the wife of the eldest son of Duke Zhu's mansion. Both identities are not something she can provoke.
Gu Yue held back her anger and said with a smile: "Thank you cousin for reminding me, I will keep your words in my heart."
"Liang Di doesn't blame me for being nosy. Sister Zhou, let's talk to Xiao Jiu. I heard that she is going to make a new thing. Last time, Sister Zhou missed Yuhua Lane. Isn't she very upset? Don't do it this time." miss."
Grandma Zhou was delighted when she heard that, "I listen to Sister Pei."
The two held hands, keeping away from Gu Yue.
Gu Yue stomped her feet and gritted her teeth angrily.
Looking at Gu Jiu who is being admired by all the stars, his liver hurts with anger.
Today's flower viewing feast turned into a fundraising meeting in the blink of an eye.
With the successful project of Yuhua Lane, relatives and sisters are willing to invest money along with it.
The eldest wife, Xiao Zhang, has already decided to vote three thousand taels to Gu Jiu.
"Sister Xiaojiu, don't think too little, the family has a lot of expenses, and there is only a little money left in hand."
Gu Jiu was a little surprised.
You must know that my aunt Zhang is very good at managing money.
The Gu family's property has doubled in recent years, all thanks to the eldest aunt Zhang.
Is it appropriate for Xiao Zhang not to invest money with his aunt Zhang, but to her instead
Gu Jiu asked: "Did sister-in-law really decide? Is there any place for money on the side of eldest aunt?"
The young lady, Xiao Zhang, said with a smile, "Sister Xiaojiu, don't worry about me. My mother-in-law won't be unhappy when she hears about this, but will support her instead."
Yeah
Gu Jiu laughed, "Since that's the case, I'll send someone to notify my sister-in-law when the new year is over."
"Thank you, little sister Jiu."
Pei Yun pulled Grandma Zhou over, "Sister Xiao Jiu, don't forget about us."
Gu Jiu pursed her lips and smiled, "Forget that no one can forget Sister Pei, and the lobby sister-in-law."
Pei Yun said to Grandma Zhou: "Xiao Jiu is a good boy, you must not miss it."
Grandma Zhou said with a smile: "I know. The second aunt's reputation is really remarkable."
"Sister Pei, sister-in-law in the lobby, don't give me a high hat. I am just lucky."
"Luck is also strength. This is what you said yourself."
Everyone laughed.
Gu Jiu didn't expect that the flower viewing banquet turned into a fundraising meeting, and everyone was very enthusiastic.
Even the girls from the Wei family were eager to give it a try, and took out money to invest in Gu Jiu's business.
Gu Jiu was surrounded by everyone and promised everyone.
When it comes to silver, she has always been willing to refuse.
Promise everyone, when the new year begins, she will notify you as soon as there is news.
Looking at this scene, Gu Yue first gritted her teeth, extremely resentful.
Then I thought again, I can't get along with anyone, and I can't get along with money.
She has heard people say that just one Yuhua Lane can make several times the profit.
Gu Yue leaned forward, "Second Sister, count me in too. I also want to drink some soup with Second Sister."
Cold!
Awkward!
Those present are either wives or young mistresses, or girls who are waiting to be married.
The one thing in common is that they are all original wives.
Only Gu Yue, a concubine, sneaked in.
To be honest, facing Gu Yue who is a concubine, many people feel a little bit hostile.
A good regular wife does not want to be a concubine. Speaking of which, as relatives, we all feel ashamed.
With Gu Yue's family background, even if she is married twice, she can still marry a good family and be the original wife. The big deal is to fill in the house.
Gu Yue doesn't want to be a regular wife, doesn't want to fill a house, but chooses to be a concubine, I really don't know what she thinks.
And how Gu Yue entered Chu Palace, everyone knows it well.
Gu Mei secretly sighed, she didn't post a message to Gu Yue at the beginning.
However, if she doesn't post, it doesn't mean that Gu Yue has nothing to do.
Gu Yue directly sent someone to the door and asked her for an invitation.
Everyone came to ask for it directly, Gu Mei couldn't save face, so she reluctantly gave Gu Yue an invitation.
As she expected, Gu Yue was cold when he came.
"Is the second sister not happy?"
Gu Yue looked at Gu Jiu aggrievedly.
Gu Jiu raised her eyebrows and smiled, "As long as it's money, I like it, so how could I not be happy. But it's not the time yet, let's talk about it in the spring of next year."
Gu Yue smiled sweetly, "Then it's settled."
Seeing the cold scene, Gu Mei, as the host, coughed lightly and greeted everyone to drink tea and snacks.
She secretly asked Gu Shan, "Sister Shan, do you know what Gu Yue thinks?"
Gu Shan glanced at Gu Yue, her eyes were contemptuous and disdainful, "What else can she think, she just wants to climb high. After finally entering the palace, it is estimated that life in the palace is not going well, so she plans to pull the tiger's skin and pull the banner.
The identities of the sisters are so easy to use. Sister Mei, you are the wife of the prince of the Daihou Mansion, the sister-in-law of the Zhou family is the wife of the prince of the Pingnan Marquis Mansion, sister Pei is the wife of the prince of the Duke of Zhu, and the second sister is the wife of the Prince of the Wangfu.
She came here to talk to everyone, and when she returned to the palace, she would naturally have the capital to brag about. Others don't know the truth, so they will naturally be coaxed by her. Then she can dominate the palace. "
It has to be said that the person who knows a person best is her enemy.
Gu Shan has seen through Gu Yue for a long time. As soon as Gu Yue pouted her butt, she knew what Gu Yue was going to do.
Gu Yue is indeed as Gu Shan said, she is pulling the tiger's skin and pulling the banner.
She wants to win over her sisters as capital for her survival in the palace.
Of course, Gu Yue cared about everyone's indifference and alienation.
But she kept smiling.
She can't tear herself apart with everyone.
Gu Mei rubbed the center of her eyebrows, feeling bad.
Gu Shan said to her: "Sister Mei, don't invite her next time."
Gu Mei smiled wryly, and said in a low voice: "I didn't invite her, she sent someone to ask me for an invitation. It's hard for me not to give her an invitation."
Gu Shan was speechless, unable to believe it.
Damn, there is still this kind of operation? Ask for an invitation at your door.
Gu Shan seemed to have discovered something serious, she dragged Gu Jiu to mutter, and told all the gossip she had just heard.
Gu Jiu was also stunned.
She always thought it was Gu Mei's invitation to Gu Yue.
She came to Gu Mei's side, "Sister Mei, is what you said true?"
Gu Mei smiled wryly and felt a headache, "I don't dare to talk nonsense about such things. You all don't say it, lest everyone look bad."
Gu Shan wanted to save Gu Yue's face, "It doesn't matter if she looks good or not, since she is shameless, why should we give her face?"
Gu Jiu persuaded Gu Shan, "This is Daihou's Mansion, even if you don't give Gu Yue face, you should give Sister Mei some face. You can't make it difficult for Sister Mei."
The flower viewing banquet organized by Gu Mei, if there is a commotion and people are laughed at, how embarrassing Gu Mei will be!
When Gu Shan heard this, she could only give up the idea of attacking and taunting Gu Yue.
