The teahouse owner and the storyteller were ultimately unwilling to accept new things and did not agree to cooperate.
Gao Ronghua was moved.
After the braised meat was delivered, the two of them picked up their things, paid the bill and left.
"Jiaojiao, where are we going now?"
"Look for a backer!"
"Ah?" Gao Ronghua was confused.
Why are you suddenly looking for someone to back you up?
However, he did not ask any further questions. He drove the ox cart and went wherever Gao Zhi pointed.
"Right here!"
Gao Zhi pointed to the pawnshop nearby.
Gao Ronghua tied the ox cart under a tree on the side of the road and followed Gao Zhi in.
"You two, how can I help you?"
"I'm looking for Master Yan." Gao Zhi stated his purpose directly.
Mr. Yan, who was behind the counter, looked at the little girl in the lobby outside and immediately came out with a smile.
"Ms. Gao."
"Master Yan."
Ever since the incident six years ago, Mr. Yan has been grateful to Gao Miao and sends people to give New Year gifts to the Xie family every year.
After a few interactions, he got to know Xie and Gao Zhi.
"Miss Gao, please go sit in the backyard hall."
"OK!"
Master Yan instructed the waiter, "Have someone brew some good tea, bring some dim sum, and prepare some snacks. Make sure you buy the best ones, so that Miss Gao can take them home to eat later."
"Yes, sir."
Master Yan led Gao Zhi and Gao Ronghua to the hall in the backyard.
He was so polite to Gao Zhi only for Gao Miao's sake.
Gao Zhi sat upright, her demeanor not like that of a little girl. Looking at Gao Zhi, Mr. Yan suddenly thought of Gao Miao six years ago.
Gao Miao was the same at that time, young but with a steady expression and even more steady in his work!
They are indeed brother and sister.
Master Yan no longer dared to treat Gao Zhi as a child.
He asked, "Ms. Gao, you came to see me today. Is there anything I can do for you, Mr. Gao?"
Gao Zhi nodded, "Yes, Gao Miao will take part in the college entrance examination in a few days, and it is not convenient for him to come out from the academy, so he asked me to make the trip.
Gao Miao said that Mr. Yan has been making a lot of money recently, and a noble person has brought him money. "
Upon hearing this, Master Yan looked excited.
"Please let me know, Miss Gao."
He is a businessman, and making a lot of money is what he pursues.
At this time, the waiter brought in tea and snacks.
Gao Zhi said nothing more.
After the waiter left, Gao Zhi continued, "Master Yan, Gao Miao has found his master."
"You mean crazy..." Master Yan looked excited, but he still knew his limits and did not say Si Ke's nickname.
Gao Zhi nodded.
"That's right! Master is injured and is recovering at my home.
It will be fine in a few days!
If I cooperate with my master, I wonder if Master Yan is willing?"
"Yes, yes!" Boss Yan has been in spiritual contact with Feng Xuanzi for a long time and had inquired about him carefully six years ago.
This person is a hermit and an expert.
The expert who wants to cooperate with me, isn’t he the noble person that Gao Miao mentioned?
He couldn't ask for more.
"What should I do?"
“We’ll talk about this later. My master asked me to come over and ask you first, do you have a shop bigger than the pawnshop?
There are front and back yards, and the two-story building in the front row facing the street, are there any?"
Gao Zhi was not only looking for a backer, but also a shop.
Now, Gao Ronghua understood.
The little guy is really smart.
Master Yan had no idea that Gao Miao and Gao Zhi, the brother and sister, were just fleecing each other.
However, Gao Zhi and Gao Miao will not let him lose money. Instead, they will let him make money and gain benefits.
"There are none in the town, but there are in the county."
"Then let's go to the county town! It's more suitable to go to a place with more people." Gao Zhi became even more excited when he heard that it was in the county town.
However, she did not show any emotion on her face.
Although Mr. Yan didn't know what business to do, he felt as if he had seen a mountain of gold and silver, and was very excited.
"I will go to the county this afternoon and ask someone to draw up the blueprint of the shop and send it to Miss Gao tomorrow."
Gao Zhi shook his head. "Maybe in three days. My master needs to recuperate for a few more days. When he is in better spirits, we can discuss business matters together.
My master is a hermit who doesn't want to get involved in worldly matters.
My master wants to plan for the future for Gao Miao and me.
After all, money makes things easier!
Master Yan, aren't you right? "
“Yes, yes, yes!”
Gao Zhi stood up and said, "Master Yan, this is the village chief of our Laozhuang Village. My master said that he would take him with us for this cooperation. We will discuss the specific quota later."
"!!!" Gao Ronghua was confused.
He felt like a pie in the sky had suddenly fallen and hit him.
Xiao Jiaojiao is so kind!
Take him with you even when you make money!
Master Yan had no problem with it. "Okay! I'll follow your orders."
"Then we'll go back first. We'll meet in Laozhuang Village in three days."
Gao Zhi walked out and Gao Ronghua quickly followed.
Master Yan looked at the backs of the old man and the young, and he had a feeling that Gao Ronghua was a follower of Gao Zhi.
After coming to his senses, Master Yan quickly chased after him and saw the guest off personally.
Gao Zhi accepted everything that Master Yan asked the waiter to prepare.
She felt no guilt in accepting this little thing.
Because she firmly believed that after the cooperation, the profits she would bring to Mr. Yan would be enough to buy a lot of food.
After leaving the pawnshop, Gao Zhi went to the grain store and bought a lot of seasonings.
On the way back to the village, Gao Ronghua suppressed his excitement and asked, "Jiaojiao, what kind of business do you want to start? How can I help you with this business?"
Gao Jiao smiled and said, "Grandpa Village Chief, you don't have to worry about this matter, just send some people when the time comes.
Select some suitable people from our village to work in the shop."
Hearing this, Gao Ronghua was deeply moved.
"Jiaojiao, you are so kind to our family!"
"Grandpa Village Chief, please, this is mutual! If you treat our family well, Gao Miao and I will repay you double."
Gao Zhi's words were both a statement of fact and an implicit reminder.
Gao Ronghua is not stupid, of course he understands what Gao Zhi means.
Gao Zhi added: "I am not bragging! Gao Miao will definitely become an official in the court in the future. I believe he can do it!
Brother Yunting also has the opportunity to succeed.
As an official in the court, you need to take care of everything, and you can't do without money.
Mountains of gold and silver have to be accumulated slowly.
We are preparing for their future.
In the future, when the two of them serve in the same court, they can complement each other and go further and more smoothly. "
These words hit Gao Ronghua's heart directly.
Gao Zhi is right.
Not to mention becoming an official in the court, even running a small business requires some arrangements.
To be honest, Gao Ronghua now wanted to kneel down to Gao Zhi, kowtow and call her aunt.
After returning home, Gao Ronghua immediately chatted with his ancestors in the house, his face full of tears with excitement.
If Gao Ronghua didn't understand that money was needed to bribe the court, then the ancestor had a deep understanding of this.
Didn’t he suffer this kind of loss back then?
The old man handed over a handkerchief and said, "Wipe the horse urine off your face. You are so old, don't you feel ashamed?"
Gao Ronghua shook her head, "It's not shameful! I was touched, woooooo... Grandpa, you don't know, I really wanted to stop and kneel down to her, kowtow to her and call her aunt."
The old ancestor chuckled.
"That's all you can do!"
