Dongmei brought hot tea and said, "Miss, you are in good health now. Don't worry too much."
Gu Pianran held the teacup in her hand, thinking of countless possibilities for a comeback. She wasn't worried about business matters.
Now the only thing she wants to eliminate is the reputation of Gu family among the people. Because of the poisonous cream incident, everyone is staying away from Gu family's products.
No one will come to buy, this is the biggest problem.
How to quickly build a reputation in the hearts of the people, build roads and bridges, is too long and the results are slow.
Xia He and Chun Liu were squatting at the door and talking.
"This is such awful weather! It rains every day and I can't even hang my clothes out to dry."
"That's right. If we go down any further, we'll have nothing to wear. I heard that it's even worse in the south of the Yangtze River than here. The rain is heavy and fast. Many crops have been flooded." Chunliu followed.
Gu Pianran's eyes suddenly lit up when she walked to the door.
"What did you just say?"
Gu Pianran's sudden voice startled the two of them.
"Miss."
Gu Pianran stared at Chunliu with a burning gaze, "Say what you just said again."
"I said the weather is bad. It has been raining for days and the crops are all flooded." Chunliu was frightened by the young lady's eyes.
Gu Pianran looked at the drizzling rain outside the house. She used to hate this kind of weather the most, but now, looking at the non-stop rain outside, a smile appeared on her lips.
"Tell me in detail about the situation in Jiangnan."
"I've heard people outside talking about how it's been raining heavily for days south of the Yangtze River, and it hasn't stopped yet. The river is rising. If the rain continues, there might be a flood."
Gu Pianran was very happy.
This is God helping her.
"Go on, go on."
If she bet a little more, she could solve her current predicament.
Whether the Gu family can return to the top depends on this heavy rain.
Chunliu, Dongmei and other maids were surprised to see that the young lady suddenly became so happy.
How come the lady is so happy when it rains for days?
They couldn't figure it out, but someone else did.
Bei Yutang watched the rain outside change from a drizzle to a downpour, and the smile on his lips was filled with a hint of coldness.
How should I deal with her this time?
Bei Yutang rested his chin on his hands and stared into the distance.
When Daixiang came in with snacks, she saw Bei Yutang's appearance at the moment, put the things down quietly, and slowly left the room.
-
The next day, news of a great defeat came from the border. General Wang Hu, who had been sent out earlier, was killed by the enemy. The army of Southern Tang was defeated and lost two cities in succession.
When this news reached Chang'an City, Emperor Wenxuan was furious.
In his previous life, the Bei Xingjun and the Bei Lin father and son were sent to the front lines. They, one on each side, guarded the southwestern gates of the Southern Tang Kingdom, forcing both nations to return in defeat. In this life, they didn't go, instead dispatching the generals that Emperor Wenxuan had been eager to support to rival the Bei father and son. Sadly, the end result was this.
After hearing the news, the Beixing Army sighed inwardly, feeling sad for the soldiers on the front line and worried about the people in the two cities.
Wang Hu was too impatient and too eager to make achievements. He wanted to suppress the reputation of the Bei family father and son in the army. The result of his eagerness for quick success and instant benefits was harming others and himself.
Emperor Wenxuan urgently summoned the Northern Xing army and important officials of the court into the palace overnight.
At the same time, Bei Yutang also received the news that the Southern Tang army was defeated.
"Prepare your horse."
