Child Bride’s Peaches and Plums Are All Over the World

When Gu Jingyun received the letter from shopkeeper He, they had already put on jackets, and the weather became cold.

Because of Niuniu's fever, Qin Xinfang didn't dare to leave for half a step, so she asked Li Baolu and Gu Jingyun to go to the county together.

Zhou Baishu handed Li Baolu a list, "There are not enough medicinal materials in the warehouse, these are the medicinal materials that need to be supplemented." Zhou Baishu paused and said: "Your aunt's milk is insufficient, if you can find a milking sheep, buy one back Bar."

Zhang Yiyan also followed them into the county seat, he was carrying three bolts of linen, Li Baolu couldn't help staring at him curiously when he saw him.

Gu Jingyun explained: "He has business to discuss with Shopkeeper He."

Zhang Yiyan traveled to several villages during this time, and suggested that everyone take part of the land to plant ramie. Although many people were moved by his advocacy, they were afraid that the woven linen would not be sold, so they did not dare to be the first to do so. kind.

Zhang Yiyan thought that if he found a good market first, everyone might be positive when they saw hope, so he took three bolts of linen and followed Gu Jingyun to meet shopkeeper He.

Shopkeeper He brought Gu Jingyun the paints he needed, and also an invitation card from the He family, "If you come to Guangzhou next year, why don't you live in the He family's courtyard, which is cleaned by servants all year round, and it is close to the academy. It is convenient for reading and quiet and elegant.”

Gu Jingyun declined politely: "Shopkeeper He's kindness is appreciated, and I have already made an appointment with my colleague, so I won't bother Shopkeeper He."

Shopkeeper He was slightly regretful, and when he looked at Li Baolu who was sitting quietly at the side, he cheered up again, and he said with a smile: "Long time no see Madam, Madam is getting better."

Li Baolu pursed her lips and smiled at him. In the past three months, she seldom went to the mountains to hunt, nor did she seldom go to the sun, so she naturally turned white.

Shopkeeper He took out a box and pushed it to her, "Mrs. Gu, these are pearls brought up by the servants as tribute. I think it suits Madam. Madam might as well string them into a necklace."

Li Baolu raised her eyebrows and looked at Gu Jingyun.

Gu Jingyun glanced at the pearls in the box, nodded slightly, and asked Li Baolu to accept it.

Shopkeeper He breathed a sigh of relief.

Li Baolu was curious, the He family asked Gu Jingyun for something, otherwise why would they give her such a gift.

We must know that pearls in this era are different from those in modern times. Most modern pearls are cultured and the cost is not high.

But the pearls of this era are all picked up from the bottom of the water or from the bottom of the sea by pearl divers risking their lives, and after a few hands, the price is very high.

Pearls are rarer than gold.

Li Baolu's eyes turned to Zhang Yiyan, and she sighed slightly in her heart, Zhang Yiyan was lucky, at this time, she came to shopkeeper He with the linen, as long as the price was right and the goods were not bad, shopkeeper He would definitely accept it.

Li Baolu's prediction was good. After carefully looking at the linen brought by Zhang Yiyan, shopkeeper He said in a deep thought: "If your fabrics are of this quality, it won't be difficult to sell them."

He paused and smiled and asked: "Is this Mr. Gu's business? With Mr. Younger's talent, it's a waste of talent to do this business. My He family still has several maritime trade businesses. If Mr. Gu is interested, why don't you invest some money, or take some money?" One share, two shares, and it’s a lot of money when the ship comes back from overseas.”

What is the difference between this and free money?

Zhang Yiyan was speechless, he didn't expect Gu Jingyun to be so popular outside.

Li Baolu knew that there is no such thing as a free lunch, so she glanced at Gu Jingyun.

Gu Jingyun rebuffed, "I'm not interested in maritime trade right now."

It should be said that he is not interested in doing business, but it is just a matter of need and need.

"Although I have half of this business, I'm not very interested in it. However, I grew up in Sin Village, and I can't bear to see it poor and helpless. If shopkeeper He thinks this business can be done, Then we will make a good contract, and the villagers will be able to grow ramie as soon as possible. If they feel that this business has no future, then they will reject it. There is no righteousness in the business. Gu will still have a lot of places to rely on the shopkeeper He. I also hope that the shopkeeper He will tell the truth to tell."

Shopkeeper He understood that Gu Jingyun didn't want money from this business, he wanted to give the people of Sin Village a way out.

He calculated in his heart, and said: "The three bolts of linen brought by Mr. Zhang are of the upper, middle and lower grades. If the quality of the last linen in the future is also of the lower grade, then we can accept it in Baolai, but the price is afraid." It's not high."

Shopkeeper He said: "Young Master Gu is my friend, so I will make it clear here that among the three bolts of linen you brought, the top grade can probably be sold for one hundred yuan in the shop, while the middle grade is about ninety yuan, and the low grade is about 90 yuan. Between seventy and eighty characters."

Zhang Yiyan was excited.

"But I have to transport the cloth across the strait, and I have to transport it inland after landing. The cost during the period is not low. In addition, the store has to make a profit when it is transferred out. Therefore, what I can give you here is A horse of 30 Wen for the top grade, 20 Wen for a horse of the middle grade, and a horse of 12 Wen for the low grade, what do you think?"

Zhang Yiyan's heart turned cold, the price difference must be too much.

Shopkeeper He explained: "The loss of transportation, labor costs, and the cost of carriages and horses are not low. This price is already more favorable for Mr. Gu's sake."

Zhang Yiyan turned his head to look at Gu Jingyun. Gu Jingyun leisurely served the fine tea. He only paid the principal and would not participate in the decision-making. Zhang Yiyan had to learn to make up his own mind.

Zhang Yiyan lowered his eyes and thought about it. The unit price is not high, but ramie can be harvested three times a year in Hainan. His mother is slow, but he can weave a piece of cloth in five days. The fastest speed in the village is Zhang Damei. You can get a piece of cloth in two days.

So as long as the raw materials of ramie can keep up, she can get fifteen bolts of cloth a month, and the quality is considered to be middle-grade, and that month is three hundred Wen.

Even if we can only weave for half a year, there will be 1,800 weaves in that year...

Zhang Yiyan gritted his teeth and nodded when he thought about the tea plantation that he hadn't figured out yet, "Okay, let's set it at this price."

Shopkeeper He's mouth turned up slightly.

After the two parties signed the contract, they returned to the village.

Zhang Yiyan asked anxiously, "Master, are we at a loss?"

"There is nothing to lose. Didn't you just sign a two-year contract?" Gu Jingyun leaned on the carriage and looked at the rapidly receding green trees on the side of the road and said softly: "We are currently in a weak position and have no chance to negotiate with him." Qualifications, let’s lose some, and you’ll see after two years.”

Zhang Yiyan looked at Gu Jingyun's side face and pursed his lips. In fact, there is a way. As long as Gu Jingyun is willing to say a word for him, the price will definitely be raised.

But Gu Jingyun made it very clear that he was looking for a way out for the villagers of Sin Village, not to bear their future.

Naturally, he would not increase the unit price by paying favors to Bora.

Zhang Yiyan sighed, not knowing whether to say that Gu Jingyun was warm-hearted or cold-blooded.

He obviously wants the villagers in the village to live better, but after pointing out the way, he let go of it. Whether they are living well or not, it is up to them to fight for it, even if he raises his hand to make them live better. Well, he didn't want to lift more.

The three of them returned to the village in silence, and Zhang Yiyan helped carry all the paint to the game room before leaving.

Gu Jingyun glanced at his back, then turned to Li Baolu and asked, "Do you think I'm cold-blooded too?"

Although Zhang Yiyan didn't express his emotions clearly, but Gu Jingyun was a fine person, Zhang Yiyan could understand what he was thinking without saying a word.

"No," Li Baolu looked up at him seriously and said, "No one is obligated to be responsible for other people's lives. Whether they live well or not depends on their own hard work. You have worked so hard to point out a clear path for them, and you It is the greatest kindness to lay the foundation stone of this road for them."

"But people are always dissatisfied. They don't want to open up the road bigger and farther. Instead, they come back and complain that the foundation stone you laid is not smooth enough." Li Baolu paused and said, "Such people are not worth your time. mind."

The corners of Gu Jingyun's mouth curled up slightly, and he took her hand and said, "Let's go, let's sort out the paints. I've already chosen the story to paint, have you chosen it yet?"

"I'm still thinking about it."

"Then you have to hurry up, the Chinese New Year is almost here, and we will go to Guangzhou in half a year." As long as the people he cares about understand, he seems to have the whole world.

But Li Baolu didn't want to let Zhang Yiyan's family dominate. She lay on the couch at night and thought about it for a long time, and finally got up and ran to Gu Jingyun's bedside to push him, "Let sister Zhang and Zhang Yiyan take care of this together."

"Huh?" Gu Jingyun was still a little confused after being shaken awake.

"Damei Zhang is smart and tenacious, and her abilities are not weaker than Zhang Yiyan. Instead of letting him grow up and you have to worry about parting ways with him, it is better to let Damei Zhang restrain him. And Damei Zhang has a clearer mind than him."

Damei Zhang is cold and affectionate. Li Baolu doesn't like or dislike her, but she really admires her.

If such a woman can be born in her previous life, she must be a very powerful woman, but it is a pity that she was born at an untimely time.

But in this sinful village with vague rules, the chances of being Big Sister Zhang may not be certain.

The more Li Baolu thought about it, the more excited she became, she shook Gu Jingyun and said, "That's what we have agreed on, let Zhang Damei follow Zhang Yiyan to do it together."

It took Gu Jingyun a long time to understand what she said, and said in a hoarse voice: "Okay, you are the one who decides."

Li Baolu cheered up, "Then I'll tell Big Sister Zhang tomorrow, she happens to be coming home to cook."

After finishing speaking, she was about to go back to sleep on the couch, but Gu Jingyun grabbed her hand and said, "It's cold, don't you want to put on an extra dress?"

He moved in, patted his bed and said, "Sleep here."

Li Baolu's face turned red, and she tried to pull out her hand, "I'll just sleep on the couch."

Gu Jingyun's face turned cold, "The bed is cold, do you think there are too many medicines at home, come up and sleep with me."

Li Baolu's heart trembled, and finally climbed onto the bed and lay down under the quilt. Satisfied, Gu Jingyun lay on the same pillow with her, hugged her tightly with both hands, and soon fell asleep.

Li Baolu spurned the self in her previous life in her heart, and it's all your fault. Because of your messy knowledge, I misunderstood Jing Yun, who was just sleeping.

The villain from the previous life in his mind squatted on the ground with his back on his back, pointing his fingers.

Under the warm quilt, Li Baolu yawned, found a comfortable position and soon fell asleep.

Gu Jingyun opened his eyes, stared at Li Baolu's sleeping face for a long time, finally pressed a kiss on her forehead lightly, hugged her and fell asleep contentedly.
