Taming beasts starts with understanding bird language

After the three of them left, Ouyang Wan'er finally lost her temper, slumped down on the ground, looked at Gu Chan and said, "Husband, how was my performance just now?"

"Come, let me interview you. What are you thinking? Do you really want to marry Ziyue as my concubine?" Gu Chan asked unhappily.

"Her reputation is worse than mine. It's better to let her in than to let those rich young ladies in, right? Besides, with her setting an example first, who among those rich young ladies would dare to come up and seek trouble?" Ouyang Wan'er said with a smile.

Gu Chan's eyes widened when she heard this and she was speechless.

After a long time, she finally understood that this little girl had such a treacherous mind! Now she knew it.

Ouyang Wan'er took Gu Chan's arm and said softly, "It's okay, my husband. Just let her in! I can see that she is not a bad person at heart. To put it bluntly, she was able to kneel down in front of me because she hoped to escape from the suffering in Qingpu this time. I helped her."

"Oh! You girl! You are just too kind." Gu Chan sighed.

When she looked at Ouyang Wan'er again, her eyes were filled with heartache.

Ouyang Wan'er didn't care, but smiled happily.

Gu Chan said, "Okay, then go and do your thing. I still have something to talk to the Ninth Prince about."

"Well, you guys chat. Grandma Ding and I are going to the tailor shop. Menstrual napkins have been selling well again recently. I'm worried that the shipment is too slow, so I'm going to rush them up." Ouyang Wan'er said.

"Then you have to ensure delivery and not run out of stock." Gu Chan reminded.

Ouyang Wan'er nodded affirmatively.

Then she said nothing more, and immediately left the clinic with Ding Meihua and rushed to the tailor shop.

Gu Chan walked into the lobby and sat down, then said to Xuanyuan Qing, "You're happy that you screwed me so badly, right?"

"You won't see such a drama in the palace! Today I have really broadened my horizons. I am really surprised that you, a prince's sworn brother, actually took a girl from Qingpu as your concubine." Xuanyuan Qing said with a smile.

He originally thought that Gu Chan would definitely choose a lady from a wealthy family to marry into, but judging from the current situation, he was indeed wrong. Gu Chan was not the kind of person who was greedy for money, lustful, and fawning on the powerful.

Gu Chan was about to continue complaining, but at this moment, a carriage stopped outside the clinic.

A guard of the Shen family got off the carriage, ran quickly into the lobby of the clinic, and said to Gu Chanbing, "Second Master, the old man is waiting for you at the Zhongyuan Commercial Bank in the commercial district. Please go there quickly."

"How did godfather know that I was back?" Gu Chan asked.

"An hour ago, I went to the Zhongyuan camp first. The people there said that you had left the camp. I thought you must have returned to the clinic, so I quickly drove the carriage here." The guard explained.

"Well, you are a smart kid and have a promising future," Gu Chan praised.

The guard smiled faintly, turned to look at Xuanyuan Qing and said, "Ninth Prince, the old man said he would like to invite you to come over as well. Now the people from the three major families in Zhongyuan City are already waiting for you with him in Zhongyuan Trading Company."

"Hmph! It seems they came prepared! As soon as we left the camp, they ran to the Zhongyuan Trading Company to gather together, and they even asked Mr. Shen to be the middleman. I guess these three major families can't sit still anymore." The smile on Xuanyuan Qing's face disappeared, and he said in a serious tone.

Gu Chan realized the importance of the matter, and quickly put her mouth close to Xuanyuan Qing's ear and whispered, "We have to cooperate well when we get there. No matter what the three major families' purpose is, as long as we can pry the military pay out of them, other prominent figures will have to follow suit and donate money."

"Well, let's go. This is a tough battle and we must win. Otherwise, we can never easily start a war with the enemy." Xuanyuan Qing said seriously.

Gu Chan nodded without comment.

After that, the two of them immediately got up, took Qingluan and Huofeng with them and left the clinic along with the guards, and took a carriage to Zhongyuan Commercial Bank in the southern commercial district of Zhongyuan City.

More than an hour later, two carriages stopped outside the Zhongyuan Commercial Bank building.

The building of Zhongyuan Commercial Bank is quite large, with seven floors in height. It is much larger than the building of Zhongyuan Medical Bank.

The difference between the two is that the interior furnishings are different.

Zhongyuan Commercial Bank was mainly engaged in business, so there were mostly shops inside. Many people would come here to trade and buy and sell antiques, calligraphy and paintings.

In modern terms, this is the ancient Yiwu Small Commodity City, which is not only bustling with activity, but also has a dazzling array of goods that will dazzle your eyes.

After Gu Chan and the other three followed the guards in, Xuanyuan Qing reached into his sleeve and took out a stack of banknotes, handed it to Qingluan and said, "Go and have fun! Buy whatever you want, and when you're done, just wait for us in the carriage outside."

"Thank you, Ninth Prince." Qingluan was so happy that she couldn't stop smiling.

After saying this, she put the banknotes in her pocket, immediately took her sister and went shopping happily.

Gu Chan looked speechless, thinking, these women are really the same, whether in ancient times or modern times, they all love shopping, she also loves shopping! But she just has no money. Now that she makes money, she has to give priority to supporting the fifty-odd people in the family, so she dare not go shopping!

Thinking of this, Gu Chan could only sigh helplessly, feeling that she really didn't have this fate.

Seeing this, Xuanyuan Qing couldn't help but ask curiously, "What's wrong with you?"

"When will someone give me some banknotes and let me go shopping and buy whatever I want?" Gu Chan sighed.

"Why don't you just marry a rich lady and let her give you money?" Xuanyuan Qing said jokingly.

Gu Chan laughed dryly and said, "I don't have that kind of luck."

"Second Master, Ninth Prince, please follow me. The old man and the others are waiting in the upstairs room!" The guard interrupted in time and made a gesture of invitation to the two.

The two of them then quieted down and followed him slowly upstairs.

When they reached the corridor on the seventh floor, Gu Chan asked as they walked, "Why did you send the two sisters away?"

"Hmph! Do you really think that they are following me around and sleeping with me every day?" Xuanyuan Qing snorted coldly.

"What else?" Gu Chan said with his hands spread out.

Xuanyuan Qing shook his head and said with a wry smile, "I'll tell you the truth. They are my mothers. They have been two thorns in my side since I was a child. They will report my every move to my mother at any time."

"No way? Your mother watches you so closely?" Gu Chan said in surprise.

"Once you are in the royal family, you have no choice. You will understand it later." Xuanyuan Qing sighed and a bitter sneer appeared on his face.

While the two were talking, the guards had already brought them to the door of the room at the end of the corridor.

The guard pushed open the door of the compartment and gestured for the two to come in.

Gu Chan and Xuanyuan Qing looked at each other, then walked in with serious expressions.

After the two entered the room, the guard reached out and slowly closed the door. Then he stood guard at the door and did not allow anyone to enter and disturb them.
