Traveling through ancient times

"Sir, I have one more request for you. When our shop opens, it will be fine if our parents help to unveil the plaque and cut the ribbon!"

Gu Dalian was quite aggressive and smiled like a flower, which made people change from their previous depression and feel much better instantly!

Gu Dalian didn't say much. She asked Yuzhu and Qi Huli to bring a box over and gestured for them to open it!

Two jade pendants catch the eye, transparent and flawless from both sides, the warm and soft jade is pleasing to the eye!

A jade pendant, carved from the finest Hetian jade. The main body is carved with a ringing bell, and a bat is carved on top of the bell, implying a lifetime of happiness. The bell is in relief, while the bat is hollowed out. It is exquisite and delicate, and the jade is as smooth as mutton fat. Holding it in the palm of your hand can make people calm, tranquil and comfortable. It is a fine jade.

These two pieces of jade were made by Hu Ge based on the drawings drawn by Gu Dalian. He took them out from the same piece of jade several times and modified and carved them. Even people who don't know much about it will like it at first sight!

"Sir, this is a product of our jewelry store, sent for you and your wife to enjoy!"

The other box contained a set of men's clothing, a navy blue robe with a matching belt and a matching hair-binding ribbon, so low-key and luxurious!

"This is also a new model of our Lian Rui, and it is presented to you, sir. Let me make it clear first, this is not a bribe to you, sir, but a thank you gift for writing an inscription for our Lian Rui..."

Guo Jing was immediately attracted by it and could not help but say:

"Looking at what you have produced, I have a feeling that your shop will be very prosperous!"

Gu Dalian smiled happily, bowed and thanked him, saying, "Thank you for your kind words, sir. I will send you a notice before the store opens!"

When they came out, Gu Wenzhi reminded:

"Yuzhu, hold your master's chin quickly, don't let it fall to the ground!"

Everyone burst into laughter!

Gu Damei, who was still under house arrest, heard from her maid that Gu Dalian and others had come to visit the master again, and the master had sent them out of the living room with a smile on his face. She was so angry that she cut the purse she had just embroidered halfway into pieces with scissors:

"Gu Dalian, you bitch, when I get out, I'll make you pay!"

Then he asked the maid, "How's the business in the store these past two days? Have you checked the accounts?"

This maid was bought for her by her second uncle before she came to the city, saying that he was afraid that it would be inconvenient to do things in the city without anyone around!

"My dear aunt, the business these past two days doesn't seem to be as good as the previous two days. The store owner said he's waiting for you to come and settle the bill together!"

She discovered this store when she was shopping more than a month ago. The store had no business, and she remembered the styles of Lianrui's clothing. She had drawn patterns at home, so she tried to draw some drawings and went to the store, offering her identity as a family member of a prefecture and county to cooperate!

When the shop owner saw the drawings, his eyes lit up, and the two of them agreed that she would just provide the drawings, deduct the costs, and the profits would be split 50-50!

The clothes have been selling for over thirty days, making a fortune every day. She actually got nearly a thousand taels of silver. Unfortunately, her mind is now empty and she can't draw any new products. This is pretty good all the same!

Gu Damei's eyes flashed with pride: "Gu Dalian, you are a country girl with no power and influence, how can you fight against me?"

She forgot that she was just a concubine and couldn't even get close to the master. How could she take advantage of his power for a long time? How stupid and arrogant!

Gu Dalian didn't have the time to care about those trivial matters. She sent a few pieces of calligraphy to be made into a plaque, ordered the materials, paid the deposit, and took people to the jewelry store!

She discovered something unusual in the jewelry building!

Let all the maids and servants stay in front and take the second brother and Gu Lun into the backyard!

"Second brother, look at this staircase, do you feel anything is different?" Gu Dalian said to his second brother!

Gu Wenzhi took a closer look and narrowed his eyes slightly:

"The normal stairs here are two steps, but this one is nine!"

"Smart! Let's go in and take a look!"

The three siblings entered the main house, jumped onto the beam, pressed down one of the protrusions, and heard a creaking sound under the window. After a few breaths, a one-meter-wide hole was revealed!

"Let's go down and take a look!"

I took out the night pearl and walked down the stairs. There was a large space below, connected to the main body above!

"Oh my God, are they moving the national treasury here?"

Gu Wenzhi was dumbfounded. Everywhere was glittering gold, silver, jade, antiques, calligraphy and paintings, stacked in boxes. It was truly a lavish sight!

"Second brother, this should be the money that the owner of this silver shop took away. I didn't expect that we would not be able to enjoy it!"

Gu Dalian showed her big white teeth and her face was twitching with laughter!

Gu Wenzhi calmed himself down and said:

"Sister, I think it's safer to store all these things in the space!"

"That's what my sister meant. I brought you here just to show you what a real rich person is."

Gu Lun covered his eyes:

"Big sister, if you keep showing off, my second brother and I will have to help you straighten your neck. Look, your chin is almost sticking to the sky!"

For Gu Lun, apart from food and drink, he didn't need much else. His elder sister and the others would buy them for him anyway. The yellow and white things in front of him didn't move him much. He just couldn't help but grin when he saw his elder sister was happy!

After a rough count, the three rooms' wooden shelves were piled full of gold bars, and there were more than a hundred boxes on the ground, with about 200,000 taels of gold. One room was filled with silver ingots of ten or twenty taels, with about fifty boxes, which roughly totaled one million taels!

One room is filled with jewelry and jade, and there is a pile of raw stones in the corner, probably for the jade craftsmen!

"...Brother...we have made a fortune..."

Gu Dalian laughed like a pig!

Gu Wenzhi's eyes were full of doting: "Are you stupid? Hurry up and put it away. This large space below may be useful in the future!"

"Second brother, I understand what you mean. Leave this one to us and use the rest as staff dormitories!"

Gu Wenzhi and the other man were already used to Gu Dalian's way of calling her, so they stopped talking and walked out along the stairs. The place actually closed automatically, which was quite magical!

Returning to the first floor lobby in front, Gu Wenzhi saw that the counters had been neatly arranged and were waiting for everyone to take their seats!

Two days later, Qi Shanhu and Hua Baozi led their troops to attack the city!

"Brother Qi, you and Hua Baozi will take your apprentices to look after the silver shop in shifts from now on!"

Gu Dalian began to give orders!

"Linghua, you take the new old man and make sure every place in the jewelry building is spotless!"

"Zhang Jiaojiao, take the female workers in the workshop to clean up the first and second floors behind the clothing store. Someone will deliver the cloth the day after tomorrow!"

Although they brought two carts of cloth this time, they were just ordinary cotton, linen and silk. High-end silks and satins still had to be customized from other places. Fortunately, Aunt Avi introduced several cloth shops and signed long-term supply contracts!

"Wang Yingying, you have already learned all the techniques for making curtains. You will lead the new employees to be responsible for this area!"

Gu Dalian bought various ancient text books on curtain craftsmanship from the space and asked Wang Yingying to study on her own. Unexpectedly, this girl was very smart and did a very good job, even better than she had imagined!

When everything was arranged properly, Gu Dalian discovered that the accountant was missing!
