All this gold was originally embezzled money taken from the Lucheng warehouse. It would not be considered selfish to move it here to benefit others in the future.

What's more, she worked hard to treat people in Lucheng, which was considered as reward.

Except for those jade jewelry, it's just this gold.

Now that a sum of money was thrown away and only some land was exchanged, it was a lie that she didn't feel distressed.

But in business, investment will bring returns, not to mention that Gu Yiyi always felt that making money was a simple matter.

So he took the land without any haste. Shopkeeper Tong became jealous when he saw her being so comfortable and arrogant, and secretly asked someone to inquire.

"Where does this Gu family come from? Let me find out immediately!! There is no other woman like her in this imperial city!"

As he was talking, the trader suddenly saw something extraordinary and thought he had seen it wrong.

After rubbing her eyes again and again, she confirmed that Gu Yiyi was indeed right in what she wrote. She just wanted an abandoned septic tank.

Mr. Trader quickly walked up to Gu Yiyi and said, "Madam, did you write this wrong? This septic tank has been idle for seven or eight years and no one has bought it!"

When the others heard this, they all turned their heads, but they were puzzled when they saw that Gu Yiyi had indeed written on the paper that no one cares about the septic tank.

"Mrs. Gu, why did you buy this cesspool? Aren't you making a joke!"

"Oh, madam, don't you know? This cesspool has been there for many years, and no one is selling it for so cheap. It's remote and smelly. You can't do anything with it. You can't give it away even if you don't pay for it!"

As people around her started talking about it, shopkeeper Tong seemed to have found her pigtails and said with her head held high.

"What can a woman's opinion accomplish? You didn't just buy a cesspool because you saw it was cheap! Otherwise, how would ordinary people spend money to buy a cesspool?"

Shopkeeper Tong snorted: "Mrs. Gu, please don't pretend to be a fat person. If you get married, you still have to deal with this matter as the head of the family. Don't hide it from your head and steal the money yourself to satisfy you." Just vanity?"

Shopkeeper Tong and the servants beside him laughed, and others also looked puzzled.

Mr. Trader persuaded me kindly.

"Madam, although this cesspool is not expensive, it is in a bad location, smells bad and is a pit. Nothing can be done about it. Don't waste the money."

Seeing the people trying to dissuade her one after another, Gu Yiyi just felt helpless and shook her head and said.

"Sir, I want to buy these fifteen acres of cesspool. I don't care if others buy it for use or not. Anyway, it will be useful for me to buy it."

Shopkeeper Tong laughed out loud when he heard this: "I have never heard of anyone spending such a waste of money to buy a cesspool! What? My wife has a lot of family members, so she can poop a lot? It has to take 15 acres of cesspool to fill it. Down?"

Others laughed, and Gu Yiyi snorted: "The fifteen acres of cesspool I bought can't compare to shopkeeper Tong's bad mouth within five punches, so of course it will be useful to buy it."

The laughter got louder. Shopkeeper Tong looked like a dish. Looking at the entire imperial city, who would dare to challenge him like Gu Yiyi?

"How dare you say that to me? Are you desperate for your life?!"

Seeing that he was getting angry, Gu Yiyi laughed: "Shopkeeper Tong only allows the state officials to set fires but not the people to light lamps. Isn't that not good?"

"You are a sharp-tongued woman, okay, don't you just want to buy a cesspit! You all, get out of the way and let her buy it!! Let her buy this cesspit, I want to see what she can do after buying it What kind of tricks can you pull out?"

Gu Yiyi walked up to him unhurriedly: "You are free to buy and sell. What do I want to buy? What does it have to do with Shopkeeper Tong? Or maybe Shopkeeper Tong is jealous of me and sees that I am rich, so..."

"Bah!! I'm jealous of you? After all, I'm also the big shopkeeper of Yuanyangfang, with so many shops under my control, and yet I have the same level of experience as you? Who doesn't know my family background?"

Comparing money, right? When it comes to who can show off, Gu Yiyi has never lost.

Immediately he banged the box with a hundred taels of gold: "Since Shopkeeper Tong has a strong family, why not be like me now and just take out a hundred taels of gold to buy land?"

When she said this, Shopkeeper Tong turned pale, and others who were not afraid of death also agreed.

"Yes, Shopkeeper Tong, you claim to have a strong family background, but now Mrs. Gu doesn't take it seriously. How about, just like Mrs. Gu said, you can also prove yourself by showing your family background."

"What do you have to do here? Do I need proof? A bunch of vulgar people!!"

Shopkeeper Tong blushed at the remark, and after snarling twice, he couldn't stay any longer. He put down his harsh words and walked away dejectedly.

Only the jokers were left.

Although everyone still didn't understand why Gu Yiyi wanted to spend money to buy a cesspit, but she had money and no one could say anything.

So the news of Gu Yiyi's land purchase spread throughout the imperial city in less than one night.

Everyone said that a branch of the Pei family from the south of the Yangtze River came to the imperial city and spent a lot of money to buy land. Not only that, but even the fifteen acres of idle cesspools were bought.

For a moment, everyone in the imperial city began to discuss.

"Is Mr. Gu so rich? He spends a lot of money. It is said that he went there with a box of a hundred taels of gold to buy land. Oops! Isn't he too rich?"

"It is said that they are in the jewelry and jade business. The Pei family has been passed down for generations. Even the branches are as rich as the country. It really should not be underestimated!!"

"She doesn't blink an eye at a hundred taels of gold. Is she as rich as Mr. Bai?"

"That shouldn't happen! What kind of person is Mr. Bai? How can ordinary people be as rich as him? At most, he is a little less rich, but I really want to take a look at this Gu family if I have the chance."

The people in the imperial city were talking to each other, and the innkeeper told Gu Yiyi exactly what he heard.

Gu Yiyi only thought it was ridiculous. She just bought some land at one time, but she went so far as to mobilize people and put herself in the ranks of the rich so quickly. She really didn't know whether to say that they were ignorant or that she was too generous this time. .

But in the final analysis, things are still very good, at least she has achieved her goal of becoming famous.

Now everyone knows that the Gu family from Jiangnan has arrived in the imperial city.

Even if Xie Anze and the others knew in advance that they were coming to the imperial city, they would not dare to take action easily.

After returning to the room, Mr. Mei asked worriedly: "Madam, we are so high-profile, are you really not worried about alerting others?"

Gu Yiyi smiled: "Sooner or later, he will know that we have arrived in the imperial city. We will lay down the foundation as soon as possible. He will think carefully before taking action."

"I should take action before he knows it. Oh, by the way, hasn't Changfeng come back yet?"

It was originally agreed that when he came back, he would take them to live in the house he was looking for in the east of the city. Anyway, the land was already bought. If he couldn't find a good house, he could just build a temporary yard by himself.

Going to the house in the east of the city to stay is just a delaying strategy.

Just as Mr. Mei was about to speak, Shen Changfeng suddenly came back.
