Chapter 130 Trading with the Gu Family

After a while, a real fragrance came from the kitchen.

Zhou Ximing prepared the medicine, came out of the room, and saw Bai Susu came out with a pot of boiled milky white soup, and put it on the table.

"What are you cooking?" Zhou Ximing looked at these, with a curious look in his eyes.

"Pork bone soup." Bai Susu gave Zhou Ximing a big bone with marrow, "To complement the shape, to nourish the body."

This is the first time Zhou Ximing has heard of such a statement, and it is also the first time Zhou Ximing has seen the big bone in front of him.

He saw that there was no meat in the whole bone, and he showed doubts on his face, "This bone seems to be inedible."

Bai Susu picked up a pair of chopsticks and poked towards the middle of the bone, "What I want you to eat is what's inside. This is the bone marrow, which is the most important thing to make up the bones."

Zhou Ximing looked at the slightly dark thing in the middle, with doubts on his face, he picked up the chopsticks, took a bite suspiciously, and felt that the taste had a faint salty taste and an indescribable aroma.

"This is the first time I've eaten it in my life." Zhou Ximing slowly finished this piece of pork bone, and drank another bowl of soup with a strong aroma.

This pot of soup was boiled very well, Bai Susu also saved some for Ling Su and Bai Jingshan.

After finishing the meal, Bai Susu began to talk about these things with him, "Did you send someone to stop the person who went to the palace to sue today?"

"I asked Ah Ying to chase after him before, but the person has disappeared." Zhou Ximing lowered his eyes, "I am afraid that he was picked up by the people behind him and hidden."

"There is always a way to find out if you hide it." Bai Susu looked at Zhou Ximing, "The Li family must have gone to ask the third prince for help, but the Li family will not fully trust the third prince."

Zhou Ximing understood the meaning of Bai Susu's words, "Do you suspect that this person was not taken away by the third prince, but by the Li family?"

"It's just a guess, but the person who knows the Li family best is his opponent. As long as you go to his opponent, you may be able to find some clues."

Bai Susu had long heard that the Gu family and the Li family in the sugar shop had never dealt with each other, so it was the best choice to ask the Gu family who knew what the Li family was doing best.

"OK, let's go visit tomorrow and have a look."

Bai Susu nodded in agreement, and the next day, she hung a sign in the shop, closing for seven days.

He followed Zhou Ximing to the Gu family, and the head of the Gu family came to greet him in person.

The Patriarch of the Gu family is not very old, he is about the same age as Zhou Ximing, and always has a distant smile on his face, making people feel like spring breeze and comfortable in everything he does.

"I don't know if the prince is coming, but I'm not far away to welcome you. Please also invite the prince Haihan."

"Gu Patriarch, you don't need to be so polite." Zhou Ximing helped Gu Patriarch up, and directly stated the purpose of coming today, "I came here today to make a deal with Gu Patriarch."

"Oh?" Patriarch Gu showed interest in his eyes, "I don't know what kind of deal the prince wants to do with you?"

Zhou Ximing looked at the surrounding environment, but did not continue talking.Master Gu understood the voice of his words, and he turned sideways, "Let's go inside and talk."

Going into the Gu family together with Patriarch Gu, sitting in the main hall, Patriarch Gu sent all the people around him to guard, and then asked aloud: "I don't know what deal the prince wants to do with you?"

"I have a new type of sugar production method in my hand, and I want to exchange some news about the Li family with you." Zhou Ximing looked at the owner of the Gu family.

Hearing Zhou Ximing's words, the smile on Patriarch Gu's face stagnated, and the hand on the side clenched into a fist imperceptibly, and soon returned to the usual smile, with a warm voice, "Oh? The prince is serious?"

"Of course it's a calculation." Zhou Ximing took out a thin piece of paper from his cuff and put it on the table, "As long as Patriarch Gu can give me the answer I want, after the matter is done, it will naturally be yours."

Patriarch Gu thought about it carefully, and then said: "I don't know what news the prince wants?"

"I want to know the evidence that the Li family used grain to make sugar without authorization." Zhou Ximing looked at Patriarch Gu, "Perhaps Patriarch Gu has heard of these news, right?"

"Indeed." Patriarch Gu smiled wryly, "It's just that his mansions that use grain to make sugar are all used by people who have signed a death contract, and it is impossible to find out the specific location on weekdays."

"Then please tell me the places you know, Master Gu, and I will naturally send someone to investigate."

Patriarch Gu nodded, and told Zhou Ximing about the places he knew one by one. At the end, he paused, and said, "I don't know if the prince wants to know where the person who filed the imperial petition is now?"

"It seems that Master Gu knows."

"I found out by accident." Patriarch Gu smiled, and he looked at Zhou Ximing, "Isn't it enough just to make sugar?"

"It seems that Patriarch Gu has a lot of appetite." Zhou Ximing looked at Patriarch Gu with a bit of coldness on his face, "What else do you want?"

"How to make rock candy."

These things were within Zhou Ximing's expectation. He lowered his eyes and thought for a while, intentionally prolonging his thinking time, and then responded calmly, "Okay."

Master Gu's hand hidden on the side slowly loosened, and he smiled, "Then I hope we can cooperate happily."

"Naturally." Zhou Ximing nodded.

Bai Susu watched the two of them chatting back and forth like this, she stood quietly and listened, her gaze fell on Patriarch Gu's hand that had been hidden all this time, knowing that he was also nervous and wanted to forcefully ask for more Conditions.

After Patriarch Gu wrote out all those places, Bai Susu took it over and read the contents carefully before handing it over to Zhou Ximing.

Master Gu saw this small detail in his eyes, with a hint of thought in his eyes.

When Zhou Ximing and Bai Susu left, Patriarch Gu stood at the door, with a distant smile still on his face, his black pupils were a little bright, and he looked sideways at the butler standing beside him, "I'm afraid it won't be a few days, The sky is about to change in the capital."

"That's right." The housekeeper stood beside Patriarch Gu, and said with emotion, "I don't know who the Li family can offend, but I have to provoke the crown prince."

"He jumped the wall in a hurry." Gu Jiazhu looked at the two people who left, "It is estimated that the prince does not want our four families guarding the sugar shop all the year round, and wants to pull the Li family down."

The housekeeper was shocked, but he didn't expect that it was the prince who made the move first.

"Then our Gu family, will we be able to protect ourselves wisely in this adverse current?" the housekeeper asked again.

"Basically, it's almost the same." Patriarch Gu nodded lightly, "You can send someone to find out who the woman next to the prince is. You don't need to check too much, just know some details."

"Yes."
