Rebirth of the Merchant Woman's Revenge

Mrs. Du was discussing with her maid about planting another osmanthus tree in the courtyard of Mingde Hall. Before they had chosen a place, they saw Gu Xunwei walking in from outside the courtyard.

"Come here, Wei'er, you've come at the right time. Take a look, where is the most suitable place to plant our osmanthus tree?" Before Gu Xunwei could speak, Mrs. Du waved to her and asked her to come to her side.

Gu Xunwei took two quick steps and came to Mrs. Du's side, then whispered something in her ear. Mrs. Du shouted in surprise, "Is this... true?"

Gu Xunwei nodded at her, "Yes, mother, please look at father's side..."

My father must be in the incense-making room now. I am not allowed to enter his incense-making room, so I can only ask my mother to go and find my father.

"I know, I'll go and pull it out for him right away." After saying this, Mrs. Du hurriedly ran to the incense-making room in the next yard.

After a while, she came back and nodded to Gu Xunwei, then said, "Your father should be here soon. Please wait a moment while mother goes in to clean up. We haven't encountered such a grand occasion in all these years."

Gu Xunwei smiled and nodded knowingly, "Go ahead, mother. I think the headgear you wore before is very good."

"Yes, I think so too." After she said that, she quickly took the nanny into the inner room. It seemed that it was not just a matter of the head and accessories, but she had to redecorate everything from top to bottom.

Gu Xunwei covered her mouth and chuckled, then saw Gu Ziyu walking in from the courtyard gate.

"Wei'er, Wei'er, is what your mother just said true?" Gu Ziyu asked anxiously.

Gu Xunwei nodded and sat down in the hall with her father. She then said, "Father invested ten shops and almost half of his family property in Wangyu Building. You are the partner of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, so it is natural for us to meet today."

Gu Ziyu waved his hands repeatedly, and said in a panic, "My daughter, where has your father ever seen such a big shot? This, this, this, I am not prepared at all. Otherwise, you can go to His Highness and ask for leave for me, and tell him, just say that I..."

Gu Xunwei looked at her father, who always did everything with ease, but now looked so anxious and uneasy. She felt funny in her heart. She was about to open her mouth to persuade her father again, but she heard her father sighing deeply and then said,

"My daughter, your father is worried about this matter. It has drawn too much attention, and our family may not be able to control it." After Gu Ziyu finished speaking, she remembered the thing her father had mentioned to her that year.

"Father, I know your concerns. We have so many top-quality recipes in our Gu family, but you have never considered making them in the past few decades. You just earn these hard-earned money because you don't want to stand out."

Gu Xunwei patted her father's arm and said soothingly, "I have always remembered what you told me. We have now successfully transferred all our assets into the dark, and it is for this reason."

When Gu Ziyu's father was still a child, his grandfather had saved up a considerable fortune by making incense, but he encountered successive years of drought, which made the surrounding people miserable.

In Liuzhou where they were at the time, there was an old man who was Gu Ziyu's great-uncle in terms of seniority. His family could not make ends meet, so they had to go to his grandfather's house to borrow money and food.

At that time, Gu Ziyu's grandfather agreed without much consideration, and because the other party's family was large and he borrowed a lot, the uncle was very grateful. After leaving home, he told everyone he met about it, and also wanted to publicize his grandfather's good deeds and express his gratitude.

However, this matter was heard by a group of bandits outside the city. In the middle of the night, they took advantage of everyone's deep sleep and broke into their home. Not only did they steal all the food in the house, but they also robbed all the silver bills and valuables.

Before leaving, he broke one of his grandfather's legs with a stick.

It was because of this kind of thing that Gu Ziyu's father had instilled in him the idea of ​​"don't show off your wealth" when he was very young, and Gu Ziyu also told Gu Xunwei about it many times when she was very young.

Therefore, whether it is the Gu Mansion in Liuzhou or their daily attire and appearance, they are actually not in line with their actual financial resources. Gu Ziyu has hidden a lot of good things, but even so, they are still coveted by others.

In the previous life, if his father had not wanted to gain more face in the Xie family, he would certainly not have revealed too much of his financial resources. Unfortunately, Xie Chengan was in a high position at the time, and not only did he not become their protector, he became the jealous person instead.

Gu Xunwei knew her father's worries, but this time, she felt that the stakes they placed should be completely different from those in the previous life. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and she would share the profits equally, but Gu Xunwei knew from the beginning that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince did not value money at all.

Cooperating with yourself is just to cooperate with yourself.

So she had to work harder to help him make money so that she could change his mind. At the critical moment, money could help him deal with many things, and she had to pay attention to it.

Seeing his daughter's expression, Gu Ziyu knew that he probably couldn't persuade her anymore, so he could only nod and said, "Then, is there enough time for father to take a bath?"

Gu Xunwei smiled helplessly. Like his mother, he took this meeting too seriously. But it didn't matter. After all, it was their first meeting and he was very nervous at that time.

She nodded, then smiled and said, "Your Highness the Crown Prince really likes Wangyulou's classic Spring Letter in the Snow."

Gu Ziyu nodded, and then he walked towards the inner room. After taking two steps, he stopped again and asked, "Classic Snow Spring Letter, have you made any improvements?"

Gu Xunwei knew that her father was worried again, because he must be studying how to improve the recipe of the classic Snow Spring Letter.

Gu Xunwei nodded again, "Father and mother, you have been in the capital for two days. Let's find a time and let your daughter take you to Wangyu Tower. The biggest customer of Wangyu Tower right now is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. The incense he has stockpiled is enough for him to use for five years."

Gu Ziyu was delighted after hearing this. His Royal Highness actually liked the incense from Wangyu Tower so much. It seemed that her daughter's improvement was very successful. "That's great. Wei'er, go get the can of 'Shuangjing Chenyun' that your father made and give it to His Royal Highness as a gift later."
