After washing and drying his hair, Gu Zhao spoke.

"Tomorrow we will go out of the house and visit the Xie Family Bookstore."

Writing a letter was still too much trouble. Even if Xie Da received the letter, he would have to come to the mansion to find her.

If Xie Dajin visited the mansion too often, it would arouse suspicion from Gu Zhu and the others.

"Yes."

In the morning, after paying her respects to Old Madam Gu, Gu Zhao said she wanted to go out for a look at the street.

"Okay, bring more maids and servants with you so they won't get bumped into by others."

Now that the eldest granddaughter and the son of Marquis Qin have been engaged, there cannot be any problems.

"Yes."

Gu Zhao took his maids and servants and went to Xie's bookstore in a carriage.

When Xie Da saw Gu Zhao getting off the car, he immediately came over.

"My humble servant has met my cousin."

"Go to the inner room. I have something to tell you."

When they arrived at the side room, Gu Zhao spoke.

"Uncle Xie, how many kilograms of charcoal has the charcoal shop stocked this year?"

After hearing Gu Zhao's words, Xie Da replied.

"To answer my cousin's question, the charcoal shop has only stockpiled over 100,000 catties of charcoal this year, of which 50,000 catties are red charcoal and 100,000 catties are ordinary charcoal."

"Cousin, do you want me to store charcoal?"

Gu Zhao nodded.

"I received news that this year is going to be a cold winter. The weather looks good now, but in a few days, the weather will change dramatically. No matter how much charcoal we have, it will all be sold out by then."

After hearing Gu Zhao's words and seeing Gu Zhao's affirmative look, Xie Da spoke.

"Since you said so, I will stock up on more charcoal."

"No, stock up as many as you have. You make a list and I'll sign it."

Hearing the cousin say that she would sign, Xie Da understood that the cousin had taken all the responsibility.

"I obey, little one."

With his cousin's words, he dared to do it.

"There is still plenty of time. Send a pigeon to report the situation here to Grandfather. Ask them to store more charcoal in Jiangnan..."

"Yes. I will send a letter by carrier pigeon right now."

"I have a letter here. Please send it to me by carrier pigeon."

The Xie family has been raising carrier pigeons for many years. This is because when the founding emperor was fighting, the ancestors of the Xie family used carrier pigeons to help the founding emperor a lot, so the Xie family was allowed to keep them.

After talking to Xie Da about the matter, Xie Da asked.

"Miss, do you want to go and take a look at that yard?"

Hearing what Xie Da said, Gu Zhao shook his head.

"I'm going to the food building now to buy some cakes for my grandmother."

"You don't have to go over there. I'll send someone to get it right away."

Xie said with a big laugh.

Gu Zhao was stunned for a moment, then remembered. Meishilou is one of the most famous pastry shops in Beijing, and this shop is also owned by the Xie family. Now another family has invested in it.

"it is good."

She was just using this as an excuse to come out.

A quarter of an hour later, the cakes were brought back. Gu Zhao got on the carriage and prepared to go back home.

Just as she got into the carriage, she heard someone calling her.

"Miss Gu, my prince wants to see you, please come over."

Hearing this familiar voice, isn't this the maidservant beside Qin Ye?

Gu Zhao said to Cuihua with a cold face.

"not see."

Cuihua lifted the curtain and said angrily.

"My eldest daughter said that we don't want to see you. We have something else to do. Please get out of the way."

Qin Ye, who was in the carriage opposite, looked a little ugly when he heard Cuihua's impolite words.

He has now come in front of Gu Zhao and humbled himself to talk to Gu Zhao, but Gu Zhao is still so ungrateful.
