Sick beauty crying bag does not want to be the villain

After noon on the second day, Song Qianyuan took Gu Rong out of the house.

The carriage drove towards Jieji.

Gu Rong saw that the car was not heading in the direction of "He Ru", and was a little curious.

After looking out for a while, I found that the carriage stopped at the door of a restaurant.

Gu Rong has never visited restaurants outside.

Ordinary restaurants and restaurants are crowded and messy, and it is said that the food is not very clean. Gu Rong's body is actually not suitable for visiting such places.

But Song Qianyuan said, what kind of store will appear here today.

Gu Rong thought about it, and got out of the car with his clothes on.

There was a waiter who was warmly welcoming the guests outside the restaurant. When he saw that Gu Rong was dressed exquisitely, he looked like a young master from a rich family, so he greeted the guests very graciously.

"My lord, do you want to drink tea and wine or listen to music? There are so many people in the front hall, let me guide you in and sit down!"

The shop clerk spread out his hand, and was about to lure Gu Rong in, when Song Qianyuan stepped forward and stopped him: "Choose a quiet private room on the second floor. You don't need to be waited on, and I will call you if necessary."

The waiter's enthusiasm was extinguished in an instant.

Song Qianyuan's face was cold, and he stood firmly in front of Gu Rong, motionless, making it difficult to provoke.

The clerk in the shop thought about it, seeing Gu Rong's delicate appearance, fair complexion, and expensive clothes, leading him to sit in the hall, it must be a good scene, maybe today's restaurant business will be better than usual.

Now that the customer insisted, the shop waiter couldn't play tricks any more, and honestly led Gu Rong to the private room on the second floor.

Song Qianyuan took the initiative to choose a quiet private room to sit down, and the waiter in the shop quickly brought the tea.

Gu Rong was about to reach for the teacup, but Song Qianyuan raised his hand to stop him.

"Master, drink this." Song Qianyuan took out a gourd.

This is what Song Qianyuan brought with him when he went out. Gu Rong saw it when he got into the carriage outside the house. Was he afraid that Gu Rong would get sick if he ate the food outside?

Curiously, Gu Rong reached out to take it, opened the mouth of the gourd and took a sip.

It's goat's milk.

Gu Rong: "..."

Recently, a sheep was brought to the house, and it was specially used to milk the goat for Gu Rong to drink.

Goat milk is said to help sleep.

However, after Gu Rong drank it for a few days, she was a little tired of the smell of goat's milk, so she never thought of going out to a restaurant, and even wanted to drink milk.

Bored, he closed the lid of the gourd when he heard footsteps coming from outside the private room.

"Young Master He, please come inside." Xiaoer's voice.

Then the door of the private room next door was opened, and several people passed by the door of Gu Rong's private room.

Mr. He?

Gu Rong looked back at Song Qianyuan.

Song Qianyuan nodded.

That must be He Ru's store.

Gu Rong was eager to move, wanting to go out to see how sacred He Ru's store is.

Unexpectedly, there was a lot of noise outside soon, and a group of fat and fragrant women came.

"Oh, Mr. He, what wind brought you here?"

Yingying Yanyan passed by the door of Gu Rong's private room, and then there was the sound of closing the door of the private room next door.

Gu Rong: "..."

It seems that Mr. He is actually a romantic person.

Gu Rong couldn't help getting up, and went to open the door of the private room.

There was a person standing outside the door of the private room next door, Gu Rong inadvertently met his eyes, but felt very familiar.

Gu Rong thought for a while, and blurted out: "You are by Prince An's side..."

Prince An, the fourth son of the current emperor, was established as a king outside the palace when he was fifteen years old, and he was as old as Gu Rong.

Gu Rong used to see Prince An often when he was studying in the East Palace Qinxue Hall. Later, when he fell ill and recuperated in the Gu Mansion, Prince An went out to build a mansion, and Gu Rong never saw him again.

He remembered the man standing outside the private room.This person's name is Zhou Liang. In the past, he was a guard in the palace who was responsible for protecting Prince An. Now he appears here, most likely because he is now a follower of Prince An.

So... that person in the private room is Prince An?

Zhou Liang was also very surprised when he saw Gu Rong, and recognized him immediately: "Second Young Master Gu?"

It was inconvenient for the two of them to talk while standing in the porch, so Gu Rong invited him into his private room.

Zhou Liang needed to protect Prince An's safety, so he couldn't leave for too long, so he just stood at the door of the private room, and said, "I don't want to think that Second Young Master Gu has arrived in Jinzhou, and it is also fate to meet here."

Gu Rong didn't beat around the bush, and said straight to the point: "Zhou Liang, Lord An opened a grain and rice shop in Jinzhou?"

Zhou Liang was stunned for a moment: "How does Second Young Master Gu know?"

After half a stick of incense, Gu Rong and Song Qianyuan were invited into Prince An's private room.

Those Yingyan women had already been invited out by Prince An, leaving only Prince An, Zhou Liang, Gu Rong and Song Qianyuan in the private room.

Prince An looked at Gu Rong, and said with a smile: "It's really unexpected that Second Young Master Gu would leave Gu's residence and follow Aunt Wei to Jinzhou."

"Right now, there are rumors all over the capital that the eldest wife of Duke Gu's family was jealous and kicked out all the concubines in Duke Gu's house, even Aunt Wei who gave birth to the second son Gu."

"Mr. Gu's reputation spread far and wide in the capital. Everyone said that they felt sorry for Mr. Gu, and that Mr. Gu's family style was not strict. For this reason, even the emperor lashed out at Mr. Gu. .”

"..." Gu Rong himself didn't know when he became famous.

Outsiders are like this, they like to watch the excitement, when you are having a good time, they want to see that you are not doing well, and when you are really having a bad time, they are very happy to praise you, as if they wish they could suffer for you.

But they are all good people.

Gu Rong didn't want to talk about this.

A few days ago, he just received a letter from someone entrusted by Gu Zhengchu. He had already dealt with the matter of the Gu family's response and set off for the Mobei military camp. The letter said that the emperor had indeed made a big fuss, but he did not settle the matter. Blame Gu Tai'an more.

In the past, Mrs. Liu acted as a demon in Gu's mansion and drove away those concubines one after another. At that time, the emperor praised Gu Tai'an. Now that Gu Rong and Mrs. Wei have left, the capital is full of commotion. Well, after thinking about it, I think that I have no position to blame Gu Tai'an, so I didn't say much, but Gu Tai'an was removed from the official position again, and now he is in Gu Guogong's mansion, and he has become an idle country again. .

Gu Zhengchu felt that this was just right.

The Liu family used Gu Tai'an's name to bribe officials again and again, which was tantamount to testing the emperor's bottom line many times. Now the emperor only punished and searched Liu's house. It was for the sake of old Gu Guogong, and he gave Gu Tai'an enough face. Gu Zhengchu persuaded Gu Tai'an not to associate with those officials in the court, and not to participate in the affairs of the court, otherwise, the Gu family would lose their lives in the next step.

Gu Tai'an seemed to have aged ten years overnight.

But he listened to Gu Zhengchu's words, and he still cherished his life after all, recently she was sick at home and never left the door, which made Gu Zhengchu feel relieved.

Gu Rong doesn't care much about the affairs of the Gu family now, he asked Prince An: "How could the prince think of coming to Jinzhou to open a grain and rice shop?"

Prince An was stunned for a moment, opened the folding fan in his hand and fanned it, and said: "There is nothing to do, let's have some fun."

When Gu Rong thought about it, it was really possible.

The Daning Dynasty stipulated that officials could not engage in business, but it did not stipulate that princes could not.

In the whole world, could it be the king's land, as long as Prince An can live in peace and order without causing trouble, the emperor will not care about opening a grain and rice shop at will.

This means that...

Gu Rong asked Prince An: "How long has the prince's grain and rice shop been open, and is there any surplus?"

Prince An shook his fan and said, "It opened last year, with a surplus..."

He raised his head and asked Zhou Liang: "How much is Mipu's current revenue?"

Zhou Liang turned his head and said: "Go back to your lord, Mipu has not made a profit so far, but it has lost a total of more than 8 taels of silver."

Gu Rong: "..."

Sure enough, what business methods can he learn from this rich prince?

Prince An looked at Gu Rong with a smile.

Gu Rong hesitated, and said: "Then..."

Let's say goodbye first.

He stood up and was about to say goodbye to Lord An, when Lord An folded his fan and stopped him: "Don't go! Seeing that the second son seems to be troubled by something, tell me, I may be able to help you .”

Gu Rong thought for a while, sat down again, and told him the current situation of several grain and rice shops in Jinzhou.

After hearing this, Prince An shook his folding fan and said, "I have heard a little bit that the shopkeepers of these grain and rice shops in Jinzhou are not good things. If it weren't for the money in my pocket, the grain and rice that I worked hard I'm afraid the shop won't be able to open."

It is indeed painstaking efforts.

Gu Rong thought silently, who would have expected that He Ru, who looks like a family on the surface, has already lost more than 8 taels of silver behind his back.

"I can't come forward in this matter," Prince An said with a smile, "but I can find a way to help you. In a few days, the governor sent by the capital will pass by Jinzhou. I will ask Zhou Liang to send the governor a piece of paper. A letter, but, Second Young Master Gu, if the higher-ups find out, your grain and rice shop might be shut down."

Gu Rong Sizhuo said again and again: "My lord, can you allow me to think about it for a few days?"

"Yes," Prince An put away the folding fan, and said, "No matter how you say it, Second Master Gu was once a classmate of this King. These things are all a matter of little effort. Second Young Master Gu is good to think about it. After thinking about it, send someone to tell this King that it is .”

Gu Rong stood up, bowed to Prince An, and retreated from the private room.

He and Song Qianyuan went downstairs to the restaurant, Zhou Liang chased him out, and reminded Gu Rongdao that Lord An left the capital without the emperor's permission. confidential.

Gu Rong agreed.

Zhou Liang also said that the reason why "He Ru" lost 8 taels of silver was mainly due to the fact that Prince An gave free porridge outside the city gate of Jinzhou last year. In fact, He Ru's business conditions have always been good. For the method, you can chat with He Ru's agent shopkeeper for inquiries.

Gu Rong hurriedly thanked him, then got into the carriage and left with Song Qianyuan.

Gu Rong suddenly felt a lot more relaxed after solving a major matter on his mind. He planned to discuss with Wei Hanyuan after returning to see how to solve the matter between the grain and rice shop and the shopkeeper Zhong.

During dinner, Wei Hanyuan heard Gu Rong talk about how he met Prince An in the restaurant today.

Wei Hanyuan's expression was complicated: "Did you go to the restaurant?"

Gu Rong hurriedly said: "I just sat in the private room for a while, and didn't eat anything inside."

Only then did Wei Hanyuan feel relieved, and said: "This matter must be resolved as soon as possible, otherwise there will be endless troubles. Ronger, when I think of a plan that balances both ends, it doesn't matter if the grain and rice shop is closed down. It's better to be safe if we hurt our mother and son."

Gu Rong nodded: "Mother, don't worry, I will tell Prince An all about this matter, and Prince An should help us."

Wei Hanyuan breathed a sigh of relief: "It's so good."

Now that the matter has been settled, Gu Rong asked Song Qianyuan to send a message to Prince An tomorrow. After the matter is completely resolved, they can live a more peaceful life in Jinzhou.
