Family-oriented.
Gu Junshan received the information.
"Master, the Wei family plans to leave this town and return to the next town. They also plan to sell the restaurant at a low price."
"The same treatment applies to newly purchased houses."
Somewhat stunned, "Something's not right, there's definitely something fishy going on here!"
"Investigate!"
A young man followed behind the First Madam.
Gu Junshan looked at the child and was momentarily stunned; the child really resembled his eldest brother.
"father!"
He called out and stood quietly to the side.
The First Madam was taken aback when she heard the conversation.
Gu Junshan muttered to himself, "Useless. They can't even crush the Chen family with money. They secretly stockpiled local pigs and quickly sold them off. Wasn't this guy supposed to hate that jinx the most? The Wei family is no good."
"What have the second and third brothers been busy with lately?"
The First Madam, who was in her early forties, smiled and said with a fair complexion, "Each of them is in charge of a cloth shop, and I recently heard that they have gotten involved with a young master from a southern prefecture."
Gu Junshan: "These two good-for-nothings are probably wandering around town again, aren't they?"
...
Rainforest Study.
Uncle Fu's face was beaming with a smile as warm as a spring breeze.
Shuisheng whispered, "Manager, the young master is back."
Uncle Fu lowered his voice and said, "Tell him to wait for me at the house I rent outside."
A fair-skinned young man, dressed in fine clothes, walked down the street without saying a word. He spotted a jade thumb ring on the side of the street and pointed at it with his fan.
The servant behind him quickly took out a handful of loose silver and threw it over.
The vendor was dumbfounded. "Young master, fifty coins is enough. That's far too much."
The young man frowned slightly.
He looked at the pageboy.
The pageboy scolded, "Just take it, stop talking nonsense."
"Yes! Yes! Yes!"
Before long, the image of a wealthy and powerful young master from a prominent family in the southern prefecture spread throughout the entire Daxing Town.
No matter what this young man buys.
They could just wave their hands and throw down a huge amount of silver.
"Damn it, which rich young master has come out?"
"ox!"
"Don't tell me you're an idiot, wasting money like this. You gave me a whole bag of cash for a needle."
The shopkeeper of a clothing store also said with a smile, "When people buy clothes, guess what? They order a few pieces first."
He deliberately kept everyone in suspense, then said, "I don't want any of the colors that were mentioned; I'll buy everything else. This guy's daily purchases are equivalent to three months' sales in my shop!"
"So bold!"
"Something's not right. Logically speaking, why would someone so generous come to our small town? It doesn't make sense."
"Who knows? From what they say, he's a young master from a prominent family in the south, here for sightseeing. On the surface, he's accompanied by a pageboy. When some clueless thugs tried to rob him, a dozen strong men inexplicably appeared behind him and taught those scoundrels a lesson on what it means to obey the law."
"I see. It must have been at least a thousand miles from the south to here. We must have encountered countless dangers along the way. It seems that besides the dozen or so strong men behind you, there might be dozens more skilled fighters in the shadows!"
"As people call him, Mei Liulang, he has his eye on the Gu family's silk and plans to buy a batch to transport to the south to sell."
"Wow, it seems this young master isn't just playing around; he's doing business on the side. What a shrewd businessman."
The strange thing about this is, "What good things don't the big cities in the south have? Why would they come all the way to our poor, remote place? That doesn't make sense, does it?"
"Who knows, what kind of hysteria is this young master having?"
The Gu residence.
Gu Junshan pondered, "Second brother, I heard that some wealthy young men from the south are planning to buy our family's silk and transport it to the southern prefectural city to sell?"
The second son, Gu Shiming, was in his early twenties, slender and handsome.
He glanced at the third son.
He then carefully considered his words, saying, "Mei Liulang is very generous and has already met with many gentry in town. I heard that he thinks our Qianyunsha is being wasted."
It didn't live up to its potential in the small town.
He plans to buy our silk and transport it to the Songjiang area to make a profit from the price difference.
A long silence followed.
"Third brother, what do you think?"
The third brother, Gu Beichen, stood there quietly without saying a word.
The third son, who was a little younger, around eighteen or nineteen, frowned and said, "Father, I thought Mei Liulang was only telling the truth. This man is said to be from a wealthy and powerful family in the Songjiang area, whose family deals in porcelain, tea, spices, cloth, silk, and other products."
Logically speaking, if he wanted to buy silk, he could have gone anywhere else; why did he choose to come to our town?
This person speaks in an outrageous manner, spouting off about thousands and tens of thousands of horses without a second thought; he's incredibly unreliable!
Gu Junshan nodded, "Yes, the third brother is right. We should be careful with such a large amount of business."
The second son quickly gave the third son a wink and whispered, "Father, Mei Liulang ordered a thousand bolts of silk from me earlier. He said he was temporarily short of money and needed to make ends meet. He gave me a deposit of five hundred taels on the spot. Such a generous offer! I'm not willing to refuse his business!"
"Um?"
Gu Junshan: "When did this happen?"
"What happened yesterday."
Gu Junshan scoffed, "That pretentious young nobleman, that good-for-nothing merchant who appeared out of nowhere, ignore him. If he can't come up with the rest of the money, just give him an equal amount of silk at market price."
Our Qianyun yarn is of such high quality that it has been inspected by merchants even in Lushang County.
The Gu family's accumulated experience and reputation over generations make their fabrics absolutely comparable to those of large department stores.
On this point, I still maintain that I have that confidence.
