Cai Xiaolian's sales approach is unique.
Today, Liansheng Street in Zhoujia Town is under construction, and she sold the goods directly to the construction workers, and also to the various managers of the Zhou family.
When building houses in Zhoujia Town, Master Zhou would be involved in many aspects. Master Zhou has now handed over his business to Lu Zheng, and Lu Zheng had instructed the steward to coordinate with Cai Xiaolian long ago.
Upon learning this, Uncle Gu was furious: "Ah Yuan, you could have asked the Zhou family steward to buy it from us!"
Lu Zheng laughed and said, "Uncle! You can also go and sell it to them. What we sell, Aunt Lian doesn't have."
Uncle Gu slapped his forehead: "That's right, I'll go tomorrow, I'll go tomorrow!"
Gu Xin glared at Lu Zheng. "Brother Yuanyuan, are you stupid? If you hadn't mentioned it, Uncle wouldn't have known."
Lu Zheng winked at Gu Xin, "Your uncle doesn't know, but your father does."
Gu Xin: Okay!
Cai Xiaolian didn't take the competition to heart at all. With the construction of Liansheng Street in Zhoujia Town underway and the expansion of the village's furniture factory, she was busy with many other things!
She completed all the tasks assigned to her by Grandma Gu every day.
Zhang looked on with envy, wishing she had her second sister-in-law's brains.
When Uncle Gu found out, he said to her, "Wife, let's accept our fate. Intelligence is something we're born with. I don't have my second son's brains either!" It seems that the matchmaker's pairings are justified; good people are paired with good people, and bad people with bad people!
...
Busy days pass quickly, and a decade has gone by in no time.
On the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month, the Huo siblings received a letter from home saying that they would not be returning to Beijing for the Spring Festival this year, but would go back after Huo Junhao's provincial examination next year.
The old man reminded the Huo siblings that since they were having so much fun at the Gu family's house that they didn't want to go home, they should also make arrangements for their grandparents to come and celebrate the New Year together!
Old Master Huo had three sons and two daughters. His eldest son was the prime minister in the capital, his second son was the prefect of Taizhou, and his third son was the governor of Jiangnan. One of his daughters married into the Peng family and served as a border general in the Peng family, while the other married into the capital.
Every year they would go home for the Spring Festival, but this year Huo Junhao was taking the provincial examination, and it was already December, with heavy snow falling in the capital, so the old couple didn't plan to go back.
I plan to stay at the ancestral home for another six months, and then retire in Beijing and won't come back.
When the Huo siblings saw this, they thought, "Great! Grandpa and Grandma Gu are both easy to talk to and they like them. Plus, their house is very big, so they have plenty of room."
So, the day after receiving the letter, Huo Junhao and Huo Yanyu went to see Grandpa Gu.
Grandpa Gu was very grateful to his mentor, who had taught him many principles and had even protected him once. He agreed without even letting the Huo siblings say what they had in mind.
The brother and sister were overjoyed! They ran to find Cai Xiaolian to tell her the good news.
Why only tell Cai Xiaolian? Because Cai Xiaolian can design clothes, and they're very beautiful. They need to tell her quickly so that Aunt Lian can have them made for them before the New Year!
Upon hearing the siblings' request, Cai Xiaolian became even more curious about their parents. The Huo family, whose ancestors had produced at least one high-ranking official in each generation, had integrated so easily into a small farming family and were so happy to spend the New Year here.
They were completely unlike the arrogant children of officials like Cheng Rui, Su Yan, or Xie Zhiyi. These two siblings really seemed like children raised by the Gu family!
