Rebirth of the Merchant Woman's Revenge

She also didn't expect that her Chengshan Hall, which had just been built, would attract everyone's attention so quickly. This was also something unexpected.

Originally, she just wanted to do this secretly to accumulate some reputation, so that if something really happened in the future, she could leave a way out for the Gu family.

Now that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince knows about it, and has taken Lord Yu to take the lead in donating to Chengshan Hall, it seems that it is time for me to find a time to explain everything to His Royal Highness.

After all, they are partners now, and it is not easy to hide such small actions of mine from each other completely.

However, her mind these days was on the fetus in her mother's belly, and she spent most of the day in Mingde Hall with her mother. If she really had time, it could only be after dinner.

So, that day, Bai Zhi informed Sang Mo in advance. When Gu Xunwei returned to Xunxiangyuan after dinner at Mingde Hall, Li Junhao and Sang Mo were already waiting for them in the yard.

"Greetings, Your Highness." Gu Xunwei saluted him as usual.

Chenxiang and Baizhi quickly closed the gate of the courtyard, and Baizhi even ran outside the courtyard to check all the places nearby where people might be hiding.

Li Junhao raised his hand and told her not to be polite.

Counting the days, five days had passed since he last came to the Gu Mansion for dinner.

"I heard from Chief Sang that Madam Xie wants to see me for something?" Li Junhao asked casually.

"Yes, I want to talk to Your Highness about Chengshan Hall." Gu Xunwei went straight to the point and said it directly.

"Well, I already know about Chengshantang's affairs. I have done a good job."

Gu Xunwei's cheeks immediately turned red with embarrassment, and even her ears turned red. She really couldn't get used to being praised in person like this.

"I saw that Manager Li had nothing to do every day, so I found him a job. I was wrong for not telling Your Highness in advance."

"Thank you, Madam, for worrying too much. This is something the Gu family wants to do, and it doesn't seem to have anything to do with me. Or," Li Junhao seemed to remember something, glanced at the slightly red tips of Gu Xunwei's ears, then felt his throat tighten, and quickly looked away.

"Or does Madam Xie want me to own 50% of the shares as well?"

Gu Xunwei looked up in surprise and saw that Li Junhao still had a calm expression on his face, looking at her with burning eyes.

This question is really difficult to answer. Saying yes or no is not right.

She thought for a moment, and could only say, "Your Highness went there with Lord Yu yesterday, and even if the silver you took accounted for 90% of the shares, it would be fine."

"Mrs. Xie is indeed well-informed. She knew it was His Highness so quickly." Sang Mo quickly praised Gu Qiongsi and gave her a thumbs up.

Gu Qiongsi smiled helplessly, but heard Li Junhao say, "Master Yu's share is his token of appreciation. As for Chengshan Hall, I will take 60%."

He thought in his heart that Chengshantang should be a non-profit business, and it would be an industry that requires continuous investment, so he should take a larger percentage of the shares so that Gu Xunwei could take less.

There was no reason for Gu Xunwei to disagree. She had originally wanted to thank His Highness for donating to Chengshan Hall today, but why was he giving away more than half of his shares now?

"Yes, I will have someone draft the contract tomorrow and let Chief Sang give it to you." Gu Xunwei sighed in her heart but did not dare to show it on her face.

Li Junhao looked at her expression and felt a little unhappy. She always acted timid and cowardly in front of him, and this was not acceptable.

At this time, I should find a lighter topic to talk about, so that she can relax a little.

So, he cleared his throat and asked, "I have met Madam Xie several times, but it seems that I have never seen Madam Xie wearing the ornaments I gave her. But do you like them?"

Huh? Gu Xunwei opened her eyes wide in surprise. Is His Highness always so direct in his words? And it was the first time that she had encountered someone asking questions like this.

The most important thing is that the accessories and head ornaments sent by His Highness are all the kind that are glittering with gold and have a bunch of red, green and emerald gems, which are somewhat incompatible with my simple attire, okay?

It just doesn't match at all.

"I dare not. Your Highness, you are too kind. I stay in the backyard every day and never go out of the main door. Naturally, I don't need to wear such precious ornaments."

Gu Xunwei quickly found an excuse to cover it up, but unfortunately, she herself felt that her excuse was unwise.

"Oh, really? What Mrs. Xie said does make some sense. Then remember to wear it next time you go out and see if it fits." Li Junhao continued with the topic relentlessly.

"Yes." Gu Xunwei really couldn't continue the conversation. This topic was really inappropriate.

So she quickly changed the subject, "Your Highness, the Emperor's birthday is coming soon, have you chosen your birthday gift?"

This was another matter that she had called His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to discuss this time.

"Well, it was decided a long time ago. It is a ten thousand word strategy that I copied personally."

Li Junhao did not hide it. He had already copied it very carefully.

Gu Xunwei nodded. The Wanyan Ce was full of methods and speeches on governing the country and the world. It was definitely appropriate for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to give this as a gift. She nodded to Chenxiang, and Chenxiang and Baizhi took out a huge painting from the house.

Since it was rolled up, the two of them slowly opened the painting vertically.

It was now completely dark, but there were still a few lanterns on in the yard, so they could all see the contents of the picture quickly.

The painting was actually a picture of the mountains and rivers of the Great Chu. It was "A Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains" painted by Mr. Bai Shi, a famous artist when the Great Chu was just founded.

"Oh, this painting by Mrs. Xie is...really good." Sang Mo couldn't help but admire the painting when he saw it.

The mountains and rivers in the painting are of a distant artistic conception, shrouded in mist, depicting the vast mountains and rivers of the Great Chu in a majestic and magnificent way, making people feel extremely proud at first sight.

What's more important is that when making this painting, Mr. Baishi spent twenty years traveling to all these famous mountains, rivers, lakes and seas. In addition, the ink he used was specially made. Those looming strange mountains and waterfalls, in the completely dark environment at night, actually faintly emitted some light green fluorescence.

The ingenuity of his ideas is breathtaking.

Li Junhao also stared with his eyes wide open. He had always heard of this painting by Mr. Bai Shi. Of course, many people had heard of it, but no one had ever actually seen it. He did not expect that Gu Xunwei could actually get this painting.
