Jin Qianqian never imagined that merely inheriting an estate would mysteriously grant her a spatial dimension. Unsure of where the space led—to an apocalypse, transmigration, or endless survival ...
Chapter 738 740. Opening
Gu Wenheng no longer wanted to open the window. It was understandable that the child was kind-hearted. If he had been cheated, the guards following the child would have reported it long ago.
Gu Benluo, who was standing aside, felt that his head was full of questions, and the abacus in his mind had already started clacking.
Gu Wenheng was tired after a long day, but he didn't want to stay here with him to settle some small accounts. He called the guard outside the door and sent him back to the room.
"If you have the energy, go back and calculate slowly. If you can't figure it out, bring your brothers with you.
Just tell me the result tomorrow. I have confidence in you."
He patted Gu Benluo on the head and closed the door before he could react.
Gu Benluo, "..."
Gu Leshun, who had been waiting outside, saw him standing at the door in a daze, so he quickly ran over and pulled him back into the room.
"What happened? Did Uncle Seven find out?"
Gu Benluo nodded, "My father didn't say anything. Did Brother Leping and the others send the things out?"
"It's been sent out," Gu Leshun breathed a sigh of relief, "I said we are doing a good deed, Uncle Seven will definitely not object.
But Brother Leping and the others haven’t come back yet, so maybe all the things haven’t been distributed yet.
I always feel like we might not have enough to take out, and I don’t know if there’s enough to share.”
Thinking of the little beggars he saw today, Gu Leshun seemed to recall the days when he fled with everyone, and his life was not much better than these children.
"Is it enough? That's all we can do," Gu Benluo patted his already empty purse, "I'm completely empty now, Brother Leshun, how about you?"
Gu Leshun, "I don't have much left. I didn't bring much money with me this time when I followed Uncle Qi. If it doesn't work out, I'll go find someone to borrow and pay it back when I get back."
"You are stupid," Gu Benluo said while grabbing Gu Leshun's arm, "Uncle Wu only gave you so much silver, it was for emergency use.
I have no objection to us brothers doing good things together, but we must also do it within our means.
If it really doesn't work, we don't have to pay my dad to help us, he has a salary anyway."
It's his fault for not showing the letter to him just now. When the time comes, he will ask his brothers to make him spend money together.
Gu Benluo obviously forgot that other people did not have his courage and usually would rather avoid Gu Wenheng.
Gu Leshun: "..." If Uncle Qi knew about this, I wonder if he would arrest me and beat me with a stick?
Gu Wenheng was unaware of his own son's plan, and instead took out the family letter to read it again.
He probably won't be able to make it in time for the opening of Tianfu Restaurant. According to the current progress, he will have to wait more than a month before he can go back.
This letter only reported good news and not bad news. Even if Jin Qianqian did not write about the difficulties caused by Liang He and others in the letter, he had learned about it from other channels.
These people really think I'm easy to bully. They come to my house to bully me when I'm not at home.
Although his wife got back some of her dignity, it was not enough to relieve the anger in his heart.
Soon, the officials of Yongchang County felt that they had too much work to do.
Even when the Censor Gu Wenheng was still patrolling outside, they would be assigned different tasks every day and delivered to them as quickly as possible.
If you do something slightly unsatisfactory, you are likely to be severely reprimanded.
These people could not hold out for less than half a month before they could no longer bear it, so someone found Governor Liang.
Governor Liang said, "These are all Lord Gu's responsibilities. He ordered you to do things, so you just need to do them well. I can't interfere."
Governor Liang didn't know the inside story, he just felt that being young was great and he was full of energy. Gu Wenheng wanted to make drastic changes to achieve some political achievements.
He had long been optimistic about Gu Wenheng, so naturally he would give him his full support.
No matter what the intentions of those who came to him were, he would reprimand them and tell them to go back and do their work properly and not make a fuss over trivial matters.
They had no idea that this was just an appetizer. When Gu Wenheng returned, they would feel that this kind of busyness was actually a kind of happiness.
After Jin Qianqian received a reply from Gu Wenheng, she knew that he would not be able to return to the city in time for the opening, so she opened the business with drums and gongs according to the auspicious date that she had asked someone to see.
Madam Liang and her friends were also invited. At this moment, they were standing on the second floor of Tianfu Restaurant, watching the sound of gongs and drums below.
Although they tried to appear calm, the slight expressions on their faces revealed their inner jealousy.
They have less than one-tenth of this piece of property, but in other people's hands, it is just a small property.
"This Madam Gu is really a capable person. I don't know what's wrong with her brain. This piece of land has been abandoned here for so many years, but it has instantly turned into a nugget of gold in her hands." Madam Wu looked around and said, "As for this glass, if anyone in our house gets two pieces, it will be a great event.
Look here, the entire restaurant, every private room is in use."
Such precious glass was only used in the master's study in the main courtyard of her mansion.
Moreover, they were brought back from another province at a high price. Look what was discovered today. It is actually used on a large scale here.
“So Madam Gu is very wealthy. I heard someone say before that the shops in front of us all use this kind of glass.
Look at the guest rooms over there, they are all decorated like this, and think about it again, there is really no comparison." Mrs. Wang smacked her lips, the gap was too big, she felt that now she could only look up.
"This is too ostentatious," Liang He held her niece's hand and said indifferently, "If this place doesn't do well, let's see how she ends up."
He Xiaoyu held her aunt's hand and looked into the distance, where many houses were under construction, including the property owned by her uncle.
She was a little confused. Did her aunt want Dongcheng to be good or bad?
"Oh, we hope she can really make a success of her business here," Mrs. Chen said with her hands covering her mouth. "My master bought a few acres of land. Did you see that piece? It's almost finished.
You said that if her business becomes successful, my land will also be valuable."
"Your master is buying the family's public property and he won't give it to you personally. Why are you bothering with all this?" Mrs. Liu was displeased and retorted coldly.
"This is where I am different from you," Mrs. Chen glanced at her, "Although my master didn't give me the land deed, my son's name is registered on the deed. It is my son's private property. Of course, I hope he gets well."
Mrs. Liu tightened the handkerchief in her hand. These words really touched her heart.
I am not pregnant, and all the children I have are illegitimate children. Isn't Mrs. Chen referring to me when she said this?
My grandfather bought some land here, but I don't have any children. In the future, this huge family property will have to be divided up by those illegitimate sons. Just thinking about it makes me feel a little sad.
