Gu Chengyun was about to speak when someone knocked on the door: "My lord, Lord Huo and Lord Qian have something to report!"
Gu Shouxin opened his eyes: "Tell them to wait a moment, I'll go find them!"
With that, Gu Shouxin got up, told the children to take good care of the young master, and then went out.
Gu Chengyun stood up to see them off, then sighed to Gu Xin and the other two sisters, "Lord Gu is so kind."
The three Gu sisters: "!"
Are you seeing things, or are you out of your mind? You actually think Lord Gu is kind? He's trying to swindle your family's tea plantation!
Gu Chengyun couldn't understand the three sisters' eye contact at all. He thought the little ones were scared and were encouraging each other.
Indeed, he had heard that the magistrate of Kuncheng County came from a poor family. The women in his family made cosmetics and snacks to sell to support his studies. He guessed that they didn't have enough money, and that he had offended people after passing the imperial examination, which is why he was sent to Kuncheng.
Although the Gu family's children are quick-witted and have figured out some things to develop Kuncheng, they are still born into a rural family and have limited experience.
“My three brothers, I won’t say much more. Just send the workers, and the price will be as you say. How about I pay a deposit for a latrine first? After your craftsmen come back with me and build the latrine, I will send my steward to personally escort them back and bring all the money. What do you say?” Gu Chengyun said generously.
He looked at him with an expression that said, "This little bit of money is nothing to me, the young master," which really made Gu Xin and her two sisters think he was easy to fool!
"That's great! Hahaha, being born into a great family really makes a difference!" Gu Nian said with a hearty laugh, then feigned curiosity and envy. "Brother Gu, could you tell me what a house with dozens of people, each with their own courtyard, looks like? I've never seen one before! You know, it's so annoying to have several brothers crammed into one courtyard!"
"I'm annoyed too!" Gu Xin rolled her eyes at Gu Nian.
"Yeah, I'm pretty annoyed too." Gu Si looked like she wanted to get angry but didn't dare to.
Gu Chengyun was amused by them and laughed heartily: "My three brothers, don't be like that. Once this deal is done, you can build your own houses. You can build them as big as you want. Especially you, Second Brother Gu, you should be of marriageable age now. You should make your house bigger so you can marry a beautiful wife, add a few concubines, and have a few chubby babies. That would be enough for your life!"
Gu Nian: "Wow, just thinking about it is wonderful!"
Gu Xin: "I'm of marriageable age too! It's just that I'm a bit short!"
Gu Si: "I already have a girl I like!"
Gu Chengyun clicked his tongue: "Fifth Brother Gu, do you think you can find a girl you like in Kuncheng? Next time you have the chance, I'll take you to the most bustling street in Fuzhou to meet a girl. That's what you call beautiful! Even if you can't marry her, you can take her as a concubine."
Gu Si: "Great! Thank you, Brother Gu!"
The group chatted idly, and the more they talked, the worse the three Gu sisters' impression of Gu Chengyun became.
This guy is just a complete idiot who enjoys eating, drinking, and having fun, and has some talent for managing a business.
They didn't want to spend another fifteen minutes with him.
But there's no way around it, we have to keep talking!
We must help our great-grandfather reclaim the tea garden that belonged to our ancestors!
Before long, the appearance of the maid finally rescued the three sisters.
