Chapter 539: Bet
"Bet? What?"
Huang Yannian was actually a little moved.
He was indeed not as noble as the girl from the Gu family, but when it came to shipbuilding, he really knew more than the girl from the Gu family.
Huang Yannian looked at the little girl's beautiful face, calm expression, and enviable temperament, and he inexplicably wanted to defeat Gu Qingcheng.
Of course, you could also say he wanted to show off a little bit—
I, Huang's son, am not really that bad! "Let's bet on whether I can build a giant treasure ship like this model."
Gu Qingcheng pointed at the model in front of her, smiling sweetly and full of confidence.
She held up a slender white finger and said, "One year is the deadline. If I can build it, the Huang family's shipyard, crew members, and sea charts will all belong to my Gu family."
Huang Yannian's pupils suddenly contracted.
The fact that Gu Qingcheng could mention "sea chart" shows that she is not a complete layman.
When sailing in the ocean, one relies on the ship, two on the people, and three on the nautical chart.
These three are indispensable.
The ocean is vast and boundless. If you rush in without someone familiar with the ocean and a clear nautical chart, you will be leaving your life to God.
That's the real "gamble".
Of course, it is also possible that Gu Qingcheng is smart enough.
She could draw inferences from one example - if there were maps on land, there should also be nautical charts on the sea!
...No matter what the situation is, it shows that the girl from the Gu family in front of him is quite extraordinary.
Huang Yannian suddenly felt a little nervous: I rashly made a bet with her, could it be that I fell into her trap? Huang Yannian hesitated and hesitated.
A gleam flashed in Gu Qingcheng's eyes, and she took out a "prize" that was enough to move Huang Shi -
"If I lose, all of Gu's salt fields in Lingnan will be owned by Huang's!"
Huang Yannian's eyes widened, his heartbeat accelerating: "Salt fields? All of them?"
My God, that is Gu’s biggest treasure trove.
The reason why local wealthy families such as the Huang family and the Chen family targeted the Gu family was because the Gu family's sea salt affected everyone's interests.
They have been jealous for a long time and are eager to come and get a piece of the pie.
"Yes! All of them! Huang's got a copy!"
Gu Qingcheng answered promptly and concisely.
Huang Yannian's mouth was dry. He wanted to ask: Are you willing to give it up? Or, do you know what kind of huge fortune it is? The key is that this wealth is not a one-time deal, but a continuous and inexhaustible source.
However, Gu Qingcheng used practical actions to tell Huang Yannian that I can be more "crazy".
After she said this, she seemed to have thought of something.
The two eyes were spinning, "Wait——"
Huang Yannian felt disappointed when he saw Gu Qingcheng like this, but he also felt it was natural: I told you, the girl from the Gu family will regret it!
Just as Huang Yannian was feeling disappointed and relieved, he heard Gu Qingcheng's clear voice: "Forget it! Gu's company sincerely wants to cooperate with Huang's company. Regardless of whether the bet wins or loses, I am willing to share the profits of the salt field with Huang's company!"
Huang Yannian: ...What do you mean? Gu is so generous? Willing to give up the salt field whether they win or lose? But Huang Yannian soon realized: This is not a question of generosity, but that the daughter of the Gu family is absolutely sure that she will win! How is it possible?
In one year, they built such a big ship? It's impossible! Where did the Gu family girl get such confidence and courage? Or did she despise the Huang family to such an extent?
His blood boiled and Huang Yannian couldn't tell whether he was angry, unwilling, or some other emotion.
He looked straight at Gu Qingcheng, "Mrs. Gu, what do you mean by this?"
The opponent is too confident and does not take me seriously.
Gu Qingcheng: ...
Let me tell you, people who are overconfident are actually inferior.
I really don't mean to disrespect the Huang family or other families, but some sensitive people will put themselves in their shoes.
Li Mingzhu was originally in the mood to watch the show, but this time, she brought some melon seeds with her.
However, as they were knocking on the door, they found that Huang Yannian was a little out of control.
Well, okay, although Huang Yannian is her fiancé, Li Mingzhu really doesn't have much affection or intimacy towards this man.
She would rather trust and be close to Aqing.
Seeing that Huang Yannian was angry, Li Mingzhu, who was watching the whole process and was smart, understood the whole thing very well.
She put down the melon seeds in her hand and spoke before Gu Qingcheng, "Huang Dalang, if you feel that you are being looked down upon, you can be as 'generous' as Ah Qing!"
When Huang Yannian heard the voice, he subconsciously looked towards the Dawn Pearl.
His eyes were still sharp.
Li Mingzhu is not afraid! She is not an ordinary little girl, nor is she a Han girl who follows the three obediences and four virtues. She is the future female leader of the Li tribe!
It's the queen! She won't be scared by a man's fierce gaze!
Li Mingzhu didn't dodge or evade, and looked directly at Huang Yannian, "Huang Dalang, no matter whether Aqing wins or loses, he will give a share of the salt field to the Huang family, which shows his sincerity."
"In this case, why don't Huang show his sincerity and help Gu build a ship at your shipyard with your craftsmen and materials, okay?"
Li Mingzhu was indeed born to be involved in government affairs.
He tried to make the arguments of "borrowing a chicken to lay eggs" and "getting something for nothing" sound so high-sounding and convincing.
As for Huang Yannian, he was first envious and jealous of the aristocratic family because of Gu Qingcheng's noble temperament, and then felt humiliated by Gu Qingcheng's generosity.
Li Mingzhu's words had the miraculous effect of "adding fuel to the fire".
The atmosphere was created quite well, so Huang Yannian seemed to be irritated.
He slammed the table and said firmly, "Okay! Let's do it! On behalf of the Huang family, I am willing to gamble with Gu Sanniang!"
…
"Hey, Aqing, am I really awesome?"
After seeing off Huang Yannian who was still furious, Li Mingzhu approached Gu Qingcheng with a smile.
There was a bright smile on her wheat-colored face.
Gu Qingcheng nodded vigorously, "Sister Mingzhu is really amazing!"
But Huang Yannian is not as "superficial" as he appears.
As expected, none of the eldest sons raised by this aristocratic family are stupid.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Perhaps, Huang Yannian's so-called imitation of others and arrogance were just a disguise.
It seems that Huang Yannian signed the bet just now because he couldn't stand the stimulation and was impulsive.
In fact, the Huang family did not suffer any loss at all.
Because Gu Qingcheng had shown enough sincerity: regardless of winning or losing, Huang would be able to get a share of the Gu salt field.
As for the conditions that Li Mingzhu helped to propose, even if Li Mingzhu didn't say it, Huang Yannian would find an excuse to "give" them to Gu Qingcheng.
They are all thousand-year-old foxes, and they all understand that what matters between the big clans is interests, not feelings or any kind of struggle of pride.
It was Li Mingzhu's words that made Huang Yannian's performance more natural, smooth and logical! Such a Huang Yannian, as an "ally", is still worth looking forward to.
Can--
Looking at Li Mingzhu's enthusiastic and cheerful smile, Gu Qingcheng hesitated again and again, but still reminded her, "This Huang family's eldest son seems to be..."
"Very cunning? Right?"
Li Mingzhu blinked at Gu Qingcheng, and a hint of cunning flashed in her originally innocent big eyes.
Gu Qingcheng: ...
Oh! I worried for nothing!
Come to think of it, Li Mingzhu is the future leader of the Li tribe.
He was trained as the heir by his family.
She is not a naive little girl, nor is she a silly and honest cute girl from the mountains.
She may not be scheming enough, but she has the sharp intuition of a wild animal.
She cannot tell with her eyes whether the person next to her is a husky or a jackal, a cute panda or a ferocious iron-eating beast, but she can feel it with her heart!
The clever heiress of the tribe VS the young master of the wealthy family who is good at disguise
Hey, this CP is inexplicably quite appealing.
…
On the surface, the agreement between Gu and Huang was a bet, but in reality it was a cooperation agreement, which was successfully reached.
Gu Qingcheng selected some people and went to the Huangjia Shipyard in Yuezhou with the blueprints she had drawn that combined the starship and Zheng He's treasure ship.
According to the agreement between Gu Qingcheng and Huang Yannian, the personnel, materials, etc. of Huang’s Shipyard will be temporarily owned by Gu’s for the next year.
Gu Qingcheng also really gave all the salt fields of Gu's family to Huang's family, just waiting for the dividends at the end of the year! The two families seemed to be angry and secretly competing, but in fact, they had become allies through this model.
"Yuezhou Huang family?"
"If I remember correctly, Gu Heng was exiled to Luozhou."
Luozhou and Yuezhou border each other, but they are not the same place.
"Tsk tsk, I never knew that the Gu family has such big ambitions."
"A small city like Luozhou can't satisfy me!"
"He actually went to Yuezhou and formed an alliance with the local nobles."
In the spacious carriage, a man in brocade robes sat on the seat with a big horse and a golden sword.
He looked to be in his twenties, and perhaps because he had no beard, he looked very young.
He doesn't look like a pure Southern Dynasty person. First of all, his height is very "unfair" -
The height was nearly eight feet, and one foot at that time was approximately equal to 25.8 centimeters.
In other words, this man is over 190cm tall, close to two meters! He is tall and strong, and even in a brocade robe, he does not look elegant, but gives people a fierce feeling of muscular bulging.
His face was not as delicate and refined as that of the people of the Southern Dynasties. Instead, it had obvious characteristics of the Hu people - deep eyes and three-dimensional facial features.
If you look closely, you will also notice that his eyes are lighter in color and his hair is brown.
Prince of Liang Chen Duan was born into the Chen family of Wuxing, but his biological mother was an exiled noblewoman from the Northern Dynasty. His appearance and physique inherited more of his maternal genes.
"It's clear now. Is it true that the little girl is the head of the Gu family?"
Chen Duan clenched the letter in his hand. The letter actually described the matter in great detail, but he still asked the man in Hu clothing kneeling in the carriage.
"Reporting to Your Majesty, it is indeed so!"
"Mrs. Gu, Sanniang, is the youngest daughter of the consort Gu Yi and the eldest princess of Jiangling. She could speak at the age of one, write at the age of three, and was already known as a talented woman when she was five..."
