After reviewing the contract, Madam Xie was very satisfied.
He told Xie Zhiyi to attend to Gu Xin and Gu Hui, and then went to find Lord Xie himself.
It wasn't until noon that Madam Xie reappeared, invited Gu Xin and Gu Hui to lunch at her home, and then signed the contract.
I also had Lord Xie stamp it.
There are four copies in total: one for the Yuzhou and Qingzhou government offices, one for the Xie family, and one for the Gu family.
Gu Xin and Gu Hui signed their names and put their fingerprints on it.
Madam Xie then learned that this thing was made by the sisters themselves, who had full authority over it. Even the adults' signatures were useless; their family members couldn't have made it.
Of course, these contracts will only take effect after they are stamped by the Qingzhou government.
The document also specified the delivery time for the first batch of goods, which was two weeks later. From then on, whenever the Xie family wanted to pick up goods, they had to provide at least 500 pieces of each item at a time and inform the Gu family two weeks in advance.
The price was also specified in the contract.
She didn't sell them at a high price, but the money her family made was definitely more than what she told Madam Xie.
And just like that, the deal was done in a morning.
Madam Xie personally escorted the person to the door, agreeing to pick up the goods at the end of the month, and to also bring over the contract stamped by Qingzhou Prefecture.
Only after leaving the government office did Gu Xin finally let out a long sigh of relief.
Gu Hui asked with a smile, "What's wrong? Do you suddenly feel relieved?"
Gu Xin held Gu Hui's hand: "That's right, Sister Huihui! I now feel even more that Mom and my sister are amazing, they can talk to people without changing their expressions."
Gu Hui pinched Gu Xin's round face: "You're amazing! You didn't even flinch!"
Gu Xin shook her head: "I'm still far from it! Didn't you notice that I was worried that even if Madam Xie agreed, Lord Xie wouldn't? He only ate a small bowl of rice! Oh dear, I'm hungry!"
Gu Hui chuckled and led her to find Lu Zheng.
Lu Zheng was in a private room at a teahouse not far from the government office, and he could see what was happening. When he saw Gu Xin rubbing her stomach and her little expression, he guessed that she was hungry, so he asked the waiter to prepare a serving of all the snacks in the shop.
"Brother Yuanyuan, I'm so hungry..." Before she could finish speaking, Gu Xin saw the snacks on the table, walked over, sat down, and started eating.
Gu Hui raised an eyebrow and teased, "Ah Yuan, you have a good appetite! You eat so much by yourself?"
Lu Zheng laughed and said, "This window has a perfect view of the yamen gate. I saw Xin Xin rubbing her tummy, and that's what she usually does and makes when she's hungry! So, I had the waiter prepare it, and it just came out. Sister Hui Hui, have some too!"
Gu Xin's mouth was full. After taking a sip of tea and swallowing, she said, "Although it's not as delicious as the pastries my sister makes, it's still alright! Brother Meng, Warrior Du, you should eat some too!"
Meng Meng and Du Ruo were full. Although they didn't eat with Gu Xin and the others, Madam Xie had the kitchen prepare food for them.
While eating, Gu Xin recounted the events to Lu Zheng, then happily spoke of Xie Zhiyi: "They're both daughters of the prefect, but Sister Xie isn't as clever as Sister Su! She's a bit silly. She said I'm her friend! Brother Yuanyuan, the second one! Xiaoyu was my first friend, and Xie Zhiyi is the second. Brother Yuanyuan, how is Xiaoyu doing now? Do you have any news about her?"
Lu Zheng shook his head: "No news is good news. It means that the siblings haven't been found! Don't worry, Xiao Jin is clever. They have identity documents and money on them, so they'll be fine."
