Uncle Hu went down to make the arrangements. Before Gu Xin could even speak, a young man dressed in black, holding a sword, suddenly appeared and bowed to Lu Zheng, saying, "Greetings, young master!"
Lu Zheng nodded: "Du Ruo, this is Miss Gu, Miss Gu, and this is Meng Meng. I brought them here on business and they will be staying here for a few days."
Du Ruo looked at the three of them and clasped her hands in greeting: "Miss Gu, Miss Gu, Brother Meng!"
The two sisters nodded to Meng Meng.
Then, Lu Zheng arranged for Du Ruo to take Meng Meng to deal with Xie Nanfeng and his group.
Lu Zheng led the two sisters to a room: "Huihui, Xinxin, you can stay here for a while! It's getting late, we'll go to the government office tomorrow. We'll discuss how to talk business with Madam Xie at the government office later. You two rest first, just call if you need anything."
Gu Hui and Gu Xin nodded.
After Lu Zheng left, the two sisters looked around the house. It seemed no one lived there, but the house was clean and tidy, and the sheets and blankets were neatly folded on the bed. They just needed to make their own beds.
Gu Xin exclaimed, "It's so good to be rich!"
Gu Hui: "Hmm?"
Gu Xin said seriously, "Someone as rich as Brother Yuanyuan wouldn't have to worry about not having a place to stay anywhere! He doesn't need to stay in an inn. Sister Huihui, don't you think the sheets and blankets in the inns are a bit dirty? I didn't like the inns when I went to the prefectural city before."
Gu Hui nodded: "Yes, that's true. A Yuan is indeed rich."
Gu Xin clenched her little fist and raised it, pursing her lips: "Sister Huihui, I've made up my mind. I'm going to work hard to earn money so that when Brother Yuanyuan is my age, I can have a house to live in wherever I go, and in every house, I'll have someone to help me tidy up."
Gu Hui was amused by her words: "Great! Then I can benefit from our little Xin Xin's good fortune from now on."
Gu Xin shook her head: "No."
Gu Hui: "?"
Gu Xin said seriously, "Sister Huihui, we sisters need to develop together. If I buy a small courtyard, you should buy one too. You and Sisi need to work hard and try to save up enough money to buy a second estate as soon as possible. Then, the four of us sisters can buy estates, sell houses, buy land, and buy shops together! Mother said that the most important thing for us women is to have our own money. In this world, a woman's confidence comes from the strength of her family and from her own purse. So, Sister Huihui, keep it up!"
Gu Hui chuckled: "...Okay, I'll do my best!"
Gu Xin raised her fist: "Sister Huihui, you're being a bit perfunctory!"
Gu Hui clenched her fist, raised it slightly, and said helplessly, "Is this alright?"
Gu Xin laughed: "Okay, that's settled! Hehe, Sister Huihui, we've closed the deal in Yuzhou, which means more income. I can almost see shiny silver waving at us!"
Gu Hui laughed and said, "How do you know we'll definitely be able to reach an agreement? What if Madam Xie sees that we've hit someone and then she's unwilling to accept it?"
Gu Hui had a premonition that the deal would actually go through; her premonitions were usually very accurate.
Gu Xin: "I want to close this deal! And I feel like we can. Last night, Xie Nanfeng was so scared when he saw the jade pendant in Yuanyuan's hand, he was incredibly docile! I still believe that Uncle Ye really knows the Emperor! Oh, speaking of Uncle Ye, I miss him a bit. I wonder how he's doing in the capital? Sister Huihui, now that we've closed this deal, let Yuanyuan help find someone to send Uncle Ye some good food! Like those duck eggs, they're really delicious."
Gu Hui: "Okay!"
I've heard Gu Xin mention Uncle Ye a few times, and she's also mentioned that Uncle Ye knows the Emperor.
Gu Hui had a bold guess: the royal family of the Great Zhou Dynasty was actually surnamed Ye. She didn't know this before, but she found out after her second uncle went back to school and required them to study as well.
