Mrs. Chen was happy to hear this and snorted pretentiously: "If I had agreed earlier, it would have been the end of it, and I'm still stretching here with my mother."
He glanced at Gu Dagui again: "Look, you've lost weight. Wait, I'll get you some tonic soup to eat later to give you energy!"
Gu Dagui's face turned red when he heard this, and he scolded in a low voice: "You don't even look at where this place is to say something like this, how can you be so shameless? Isn't it a bit righteous?"
"Bah, what are you pretending to do with me? What do these two people need to do in bed? That's all." Mrs. Chen said disdainfully, and then said: "Don't feel bad about the money, I will go out and order some soup, meat and vegetables, blessing Can Tailou still ask for money from me?"
This is the time to cheat on the food and wine of Fu Tai Lou again.
"I'll go to the tofu room in the backyard and tell the workers. You go back and pack your things quickly." Mrs. Chen turned around and left. When she turned around, she gave Gu Dagui a wink.
Well, Gu Dagui was trembling with fright. He couldn't help it anymore. When he went back, he had to go to the old doctor Wu and ask him to prescribe some tonic, otherwise he was afraid that his life would be ruined by this woman.
The news that Sanlang Qin and Gu Jinli had made great achievements in the northwest and were praised and rewarded by the emperor quickly spread throughout the city like the wind.
Before Gu Dagui and the others left, the prominent families and wealthy households in the city sent people with congratulatory gifts to the Gu family's workshop in the north of the city to congratulate the Gu family. Please beg the Gu family again to let them put the shop under the Gu family's name first and avoid paying the 10% tax.
Bang, bang, bang!
"Shopkeeper Gu, Mrs. Shopkeeper Gu, please open the door quickly. We are from the Shi family in Fucheng. We have come to congratulate your family with valuable gifts."
The Yu family from Fucheng is also here, bringing with them Jinling satin worth ten taels a piece and fifty-year-old ginseng. Madam Gu, the shopkeeper, hurry up and open the door!
The whole city, men, women, old and young, all know that Chen is stingy and loves money. When these people who came to give gifts saw that Gu's workshop was closed, they used words of temptation.
Ms. Chen was scratching her head when she heard this in the room. She almost cried thinking about not being able to get so many valuable things. She was about to rush over to open the door to the people outside, but was stopped by A Feng and the guys.
Afeng said: "Madam shopkeeper, the young boss and Young Master Gu have told you not to be greedy for money that you can't handle. If you cause trouble to Gu's workshop, they will sever ties with your family and let your family Spew out the dividends from the workshop and let your family live a miserable life of eating soybeans and cooking wild vegetables without putting in the oil."
Well, Mrs. Chen thought about the days when she ate wild vegetables to satisfy her hunger, her face turned the color of wild vegetables, and her stomach grumbled in response to the situation, but she did not give up and said: "I didn't say I wanted to help them, I'm such a stupid person. People? I just want to accept their gifts, but I wont help if Im busy!
Mrs. Chen's abacus was very good, but Afeng said: "Madam shopkeeper, how can there be such a good thing in the world where you just take money and don't help? If you take the money and you run away, others will use this matter to destroy you. reputation, what's more, they may go to the Yamen to sue you, and then implicate the entire Gu's workshop."
"I'm not a teenage girl, so I'm still worried about them ruining my reputation?!" Mrs. Chen put her hands on her hips, pointed at A Feng and said, "And you, where are you from, you brat? Why are you talking about me like that? I am your wife, the shopkeeper, and if you, a servant, dare to say anything wrong about my boss, I dont want to live anymore!
A Feng pretended not to hear, and was protected by the master, the young boss, and the eldest young master. Those who were sent to the Fucheng workshop would be fine. The Chen family was just rude and would not really do anything to them.
Mr. Chen was very angry when she saw Afeng ignoring her: "You brats are so cowardly, I paid you a salary!"
How dare you say a salary of one hundred cash?
"What are you yelling about again? Don't be here as a hands-off shopkeeper. Everything has been packed. Let's go and see if there is anything missing, so that you won't have to scold me again if you can't find anything when you return to the village." Gu Dagui worked hard and said: After packing up the couple's things, they were about to come over to summon the guys to talk when they heard Mrs. Chen showing off her power and scolding her. "What's missing? I'm missing several cartloads of valuable things!" Chen was so heartbroken that she discussed with Gu Dagui: "Dagui, we have to bring some gifts to a few families when we return to the village. It's too expensive to spend money to buy them. Yes, there is a street of people outside waiting to give us gifts, open the door, would you like some?"
Gu Dagui: "If you want anything, don't be stupid, otherwise I will tell An Ge'er when we return to the village. If he is angry, we can't come to Fucheng workshop to be the shopkeeper."
Mrs. Chen became angry when she heard this: "How can he, a junior like us, kick us two elders out of the workshop?"
Gu Dagui: "It's really possible. If you don't believe me, try it."
Well, Mrs. Chen was choked by the rebuke, and just as she was about to retort, A Ling, who was guarding the back door, came: "The shopkeeper, the shopkeeper's wife, Mr. Hu's family, Mr. Qi, people from the Xu family, the second manager of the An family, and those from the Ji family. The chief steward is at the back door, bringing congratulatory gifts, saying that he wants to see the shopkeeper and his wife, and that he is not here to ask for help."
He added: "The younger one was afraid that there were too many of them and would be seen by other guests who came to curry favor, so he took the initiative to bring them in first."
Gu Dagui said: "It's okay, these are people we are familiar with, we can trust them, and they won't harm us."
Mrs. Chens eyes widened and she asked, They brought gifts? Are they many? Are they ginseng, birds nest, or pieces of silk satin?
"You greedy woman, you can only ask these questions, hurry up and meet the guests from several houses." Gu Dagui pulled Chen away, but did not forget to explain: "You have to take it easy and don't make a joke. Otherwise, it will bring shame to Gus workshop!
"I know, I know, you still need to tell me." Mrs. Chen said perfunctorily and went to the living room of the back house to meet several families.
The person who came from the Xu family was a shopkeeper. When he saw them, he immediately said: "Congratulations to my second uncle and second aunt. The Gu family has received a reward from the emperor. This is a great event that will bring glory to our family!"
Hahaha, its indeed a big happy event, but our two families are in-laws, so your Xu family also shares in this happy event. Mrs. Chen said proudly and cheerfully.
The shopkeeper of the Xu family was overjoyed that the Gu family had received such a blessing and could say such words to the Xu family. This shows that the old man has a vicious eye on people... Although Mrs. Chen is vulgar and greedy, she has no bad intentions. He was very protective of his shortcomings. It was not a loss for the Xu family to form this family relationship.
Now it seems that not only is there no loss, it is a huge profit!
Gu Jinan is the young San Yuanlang of Jianghuai. The Gu family has been rewarded by the emperor, and Qin Baihu has made great achievements. He will definitely be given a high official position, and his in-laws will also benefit.
"Same joy." The shopkeeper of the Xu family said with suppressed joy, and hurriedly handed over the gift list: "My second aunt, I was in a hurry today, so I only prepared a small gift, and the bulk of the gift was sent from the county home. "
Chen was illiterate and couldn't understand. He took the gift list and handed it to Gu Dagui: "What is it written on?"
Gu Dagui read out the gift, and Mrs. Chen was very happy after hearing it. She could get dozens of taels of private money by selling the three pieces of brocade, which is not bad.
Mr. Qi couldn't wait any longer and said: "Brother Dagui, wife of Dagui, I am here to remind you not to stay in Fucheng anymore and go back to the village to live for a while to avoid being pestered by people who want to take advantage of you." .
