Chapter 108: Making Trouble
She raised her eyebrows and said in a bad tone, "It's just two strands of silk hanging down, why don't you just have someone cut them off?"
"Or are you bullying customers by trying to cheat them out of their money and force them to buy or sell?"
The shopkeeper looked depressed and said with a stern face:
"I warned you before you came to see it, but you still just let it go. If you don't want to buy it, just pay me some money!"
But the woman was not willing to give in and shouted:
"Why should I lose money? Your own materials are of poor quality, and you are blaming the customers?"
Gu Feixue looked at the woman and winked at the two maids beside her. Then the maids stood in front of the woman and said:
"Is this how you, the Wan family's cloth shop, treat your customers? Do you know who my young lady is?"
Gu Feixue raised her eyebrows. It seemed that this girl came prepared. No wonder she brought four servants with her just to check the cloth.
Look at those four servants dressed as servants, with muscles bulging under their clothes, how can they be ordinary servants?
These are clearly thugs. It seems that the owner of Wanjia Cloth Shop must have offended someone.
Wanjia Cloth Shop is not the largest cloth shop in Liangcheng.
When Manager Wan learned that the Gu family was short of fabric, he took the initiative to contact Li Tiezhu, the official manager of Jinxiu, to seek cooperation in the supply of fabric.
The Gu family inquired around and found out that although the company was not the largest fabric merchant, it had a good reputation, so they agreed to cooperate.
At this time, Wang and others also looked towards Shopkeeper Wan and his group, and saw that the woman's two maids were pressing Shopkeeper Wan step by step:
"Your Wanjia Cloth Shop had a good business, but now you're doing something like extorting customers."
In a rage, Shopkeeper Wan called the shop workers to confront the men.
"Young lady, you are so unreasonable! I told you from the beginning that these materials are precious. If you don't intend to buy them, don't touch them casually. This piece of cloth costs more than 20 taels of silver to purchase, and people won't buy it because they see a flaw in the cloth. We at Wanjia Cloth Shop don't make money from the wind! How come it's my fault now that it's in your mouth?"
The woman was not frightened at all when she heard this, and called in the four servants waiting outside:
"You don't have to rely on your numbers to demonstrate against me. I won't compensate you for this cloth today. If you don't agree, just arrest me and report me to the authorities!"
Gu Feixue saw through the girl's intention at a glance. It turned out that she wanted to force the cloth shop to beat up the customers in the store.
Once the news that Wanjia Cloth Shop had taken out a big customer in the store spread, even if it was not wrong, it would become wrong.
After taking a closer look at the girl, Gu Feixue finally remembered something.
Isn’t this the largest cloth shop in the city, the daughter of the Chun family cloth shop?
It seems that this drama is about business competition.
It’s no wonder that ever since the Gu family signed an agreement with Wanjia Cloth Shop, whenever the Gu family introduces clothes to their customers, they naturally have to mention Wanjia Cloth Shop.
After a few visits, Wanjia Cloth Shop became more well-known and naturally received more orders.
Didn’t you see that Manager Wan was able to import a lot of precious silk cloth from Jiangnan?
Shopkeeper Wan was obviously a down-to-earth man. Provoked by the girl, he immediately ignored everything else and called a few female workers to arrest the girl and report to the police.
The woman from the Chun family's eyes lit up when she saw this, and she immediately gave her subordinates a look.
I saw those men shouting:
"Wanjia Cloth Shop is beating customers!"
Not only were the shouts heard by all the customers in the cloth shop, but the attention of some passers-by at the door was also attracted.
Seeing that this was not going to work, Gu Feixue stepped forward and said calmly:
"Miss Chun, your cloth shop has so much cloth, do you still need to buy from the Wan family?"
This girl clearly had bad intentions from the beginning. She painted her face so that no one could recognize her as a member of the Chun family. She also brought so many thugs with her, obviously she was here to scam people.
If it were anyone else, she would certainly not care, but now the Gu family is purchasing goods from the Wan family, and the Wan family's reputation is damaged, which is not good for Jinxiu.
Manager Wan was originally very excited, but he calmed down a lot after hearing what Gu Feixue said.
He looked at the servants brought by the troublemaker girl, all of whom were tall and strong and looked like thugs. How could he understand?
Miss Chun obviously didn't expect that she would be recognized, and she immediately looked at Gu Feixue.
Many people gathered around the cloth shop, and Shopkeeper Wan said coldly:
"Miss Chun, what are you doing here at Wanjia Cloth Shop? You damaged our cloth and even made a fuss, accusing us of bullying our customers. What are you up to?"
"She's talking nonsense. I'm not from the Chun family. I'm just an ordinary guest!"
Gu Feixue sighed, pointed at the maids and servants behind the woman and said:
"Even though you've put on makeup to look unrecognizable, how can you be sure that no one recognizes your servants?"
Sure enough, just a few seconds after Gu Feixue said this, she heard two or three voices discussing among the crowd at the door:
"That maid seems to be the maid of the daughter of the Chun family. I have seen her before in the Chun family cloth shop."
"Yes! Isn't that servant a servant of the Chun family?"
When Gu Feixue saw Miss Chun, even with thick powder on her face, it was hard to hide her face which turned red in an instant.
"Anyway, you're the ones who are wrong. You're bullying customers because of your big store!"
After saying that, the woman hurriedly left Wanjia Cloth Shop with her maids and servants.
Seeing this, Gu Feixue couldn't help but hold her forehead. She really didn't know how to describe this girl. She said she was bad, but she didn't have any scheming. She said she wasn't bad, but she brought people here to cause trouble.
"Thank you Miss Gu for your help, otherwise I would be speechless today."
After Wan Zhengli saw everyone leave, he went to the Gu family to express his gratitude.
Gu Feixue didn't care. It was just a casual remark and it was harmless.
Afterwards, Wan Zhengli wanted to exchange the list of materials he selected for the Gu family for a favor. After all, they were partners, so the Gu family had no choice but to accept it.
After returning, the Gu family first distributed New Year's goods to the villagers of Anju Village. The family who received wine was envied by everyone.
On New Year's Eve, after the Gu family returned from the banquet in Anju Village, Gu Feixue received another letter from Yuchi Shuo.
Just like last time, they started by talking about irrigation terraces and things like the plague, using a businesslike tone that left Gu Feixue speechless.
Later, Gu Feixue saw a message that surprised her.
Yuchi Shuo said that he had received commendations from the emperor in the court during the year and had made outstanding personal achievements. Many ministers in the court joined his army, but this also blocked the way for others.
He also implicitly told her to be careful, and asked the Gu family to be careful, and after saying so many times, it can be seen that Yuchi Shuo still has a conscience.
Finally, he asked her to burn the letter after reading it.
After putting down the letter, Gu Feixue felt very melancholy and a little resentful in her heart.
Why didn't she think of it?!
She asked why the people behind the scenes were targeting the Gu family! Now it seems that it was because of Yuchi Shuo that they were blocking the path of the crown princes, so they wanted to get rid of the Gu family!
