Traveling through ancient times

"How is his brother-in-law's family doing now?"

Gu Dalian was a little curious!

"Alas, what else can we do? This family is the main source of money for Duke Wu. How can they be as kind as they appear?"

"Both men and women did a lot of shady things. Once the things were exposed, many people reported them to the authorities..."

"This is great. The male members of the main family are sentenced to be beheaded, the women are used as matchmakers, and all the close branch members are sentenced to exile 3,000 miles to the northwest!"

Zhang Yaren sighed in regret. If he had known this would happen, he would have done it in the first place. Wouldn’t it be better to just live a peaceful and stable life as an ordinary person?

"Mr. Zhang Ya, how much does this silver shop cost?"

Zhang Ya touched his earlobe, coughed again and said:

"...The government price of this silver shop is 110,000 taels of silver!...If you have connections in this area, it should be less!"

The first person that Gu Dalian thought of was Lord Fujun. Such a relationship should be used in vain!

In the past few months, the shop made a net profit of more than 70,000 taels in the first three days of its opening. Later, because it was the New Year holiday, the sales rate was also high, and the profit reached 300,000 taels.

The clothing store also made a net profit of 100,000, not including the profit after the New Year. This 110,000 is not a big deal, but if it could be less, who would have the money to spend? !

Gu Dalian smiled and said to the broker:

"Thank you for your hard work, I will go find someone right away. Please keep me here for three days. If I don't show up within these three days, you can consider making a move again!"

He motioned to Yuzhu to hand over a purse containing ten taels of silver. Zhang Yaren bowed and declined:

"You are too polite, my Lord. I can definitely stay for two or three days. This is not necessary!"

Yuzhu directly stuffed it into Zhang Yaren's hand and said:

"Don't be polite, this is our master's intention!"

After leaving the jewelry store, Gu Dalian no longer considered going anywhere else. She was very satisfied with this jewelry store!

When they returned to the inn, Gu Lun and his group had not returned yet, so Gu Dalian went to meet the innkeeper, wanting to know more about the people and things here!

The shopkeeper was delighted when he heard this!

"Miss Gu, if you want to ask about the local conditions and customs of our state, you've come to the right person... We have a saying here: the east is noble, the west is rich, the south is commercial, and the north is poor..."

"...that is, East Street is full of nobles, West Street is full of rich people, South Street is full of businessmen, and North Street is full of poor people..."

"…Our prefect has been here for two months. I heard that he has a good reputation and is young and promising. It is said that he was recommended by the Minister of the Central Secretariat, Wei Zhang!"

"...As soon as he arrived, he took over the investigation of the case. The owner of our sealed silver shop was sentenced to be beheaded this time!"

"It is said that if the prefecture and county officials had not conducted a thorough investigation, this family would have used connections and would have been released after being imprisoned for three to five years at most. By then, they would have money in their hands, so what would they have to worry about?"

When Gu Dalian heard this, it was no wonder that the silver shop had not been sold. It was not because it was difficult to sell, but because it had just been put on the market. It seemed that she would have to meet with this Lord of the Prefecture tomorrow!

After talking with Gu Lun in the evening, I let Gu Lun review his homework, and Gu Dalian entered the space!

At this moment, Gu Xiaolian was already waiting in the space!

"Big sister, is the city fun? ... Oh, by the way, Aunt Liang said today that the weather is going to get hot soon, so should we buy some thinner clothes?"

In fact, Gu Dalian had already made arrangements when he left. Mi Rui had already sent a batch of fine cotton and brocade to the garment workshop!

"Tell Aunt Liang that there will be new thin models in the next two or three days, so she doesn't have to worry. The price will be marked for her then!"

Gu Xiaolian agreed and said:

"Sister, I heard that Zhao Langze is also in the capital. If you meet him, tell him to be more careful and don't let others deceive him again!"

Gu Dalian hummed: "Little girl, you worry so much, be careful not to grow taller!"

"...Hehe...Big sister, I am now tall enough to stand next to an adult without looking short. Even if I don't grow taller, I am not afraid!"

Looking at Gu Xiaolian's beautiful smile, although she was only nine years old, she had grown as tall as an adult. Although she had not yet grown a curvy figure, she had already shown the appearance of a young beauty, so he pinched her little face!

"You little girl, you responded to my words right away. You really deserve a beating!"

After they played for a while, they saw Qin Mo coming in. Gu Xiaolian greeted him, made a face at her sister, and left the space!

Qin Mo hadn't entered the space for two days and missed her terribly. Thinking that time was tight and he might not see her for ten days or half a month, he got so excited that he went up and hugged Gu Dalian!

Gu Dalian was confused. When did this kid become so bold?

I feel a little uneasy. Could it be that the situation on the front line is tight?

With a bitter heart, he hugged Qin Mo tightly, patted his back and said:

"What's the situation on the front line? Can you tell me about it?"

Qin Mo then let go, suppressed his reluctance and said:

"This time, Daxia and the Nvjiang Kingdom have a combined army of 300,000 to attack the northwest border. Our Darong Northwest Army has 200,000 soldiers and horses to resist. The disparity in strength is huge. It will take some time to mobilize troops from other places!"

Qin Mo looked at Gu Dalian, as if he wanted to engrave her in his mind:

"The fighting will be a little tough these days, but it's not a big problem. I'm just worried that you'll forget me..."

Gu Dalian's face suddenly turned red. Her little heart couldn't bear this guy saying that all of a sudden!

He rolled his eyes. In Qin Mo's eyes, she looked so charming... ahem... he was thinking in the wrong way. The girl was only thirteen years old and very pure!

The innocent Gu Dalian said: "Forget anyone but not Qin Pianzi, just fight with peace of mind!"

Although she said this, she felt very happy in her heart, because after all, this body was inhabited by an aunt's heart!

Without saying a few words, Qin Mo hurriedly retreated. Gu Dalian was worried about her elder brother and Qin Mo, so she called the contracted beast over!

"You can enter and exit the space freely. There is a war going on in the northwest border now. I have a mission for you, which is to protect the safety of my eldest brother and Qin Mo. Of course, you can also help them to repel the enemy in secret!"

"Master, rest assured, we will protect the safety of the two masters!"

"We will do our best to protect our two masters!"

……

The contracted beasts withdrew from the space and went to the northwest battlefield. Fortunately, their protection saved the lives of many northwest soldiers!

No matter how sad you feel, life still has to go on!

……

As soon as it was dawn, Gu Dalian got up and washed. With the help of Yuzhu, she changed into a sky blue men's robe, tied a belt around her waist, hung a crystal clear jade pendant, tied her hair into a high ponytail, and also tied a belt of the same color!

What a handsome young man!

Following them were Qi Huli and Yuzhu, both of whom wore men's clothes and dressed as servants, and drove a carriage to the prefectural compound!

This time, he directly announced Lin Shiyu's name. After waiting for a quarter of an hour, a bailiff came out panting. When he saw the three people, he saluted and said,

"Sorry to have kept you waiting. My Lord is taking a rest in the backyard. Please follow me!"

Gu Dalian smiled and said, "Thank you!"

Follow the bailiff and walk inside!
