Farm Gate Business Tycoon

Chapter 240 Leaving Home for Beijing (4)
Murong Yu had already sent someone to say hello before, and Hu Lai knew that someone would come to live, so he was very polite.

Gu Qingmei politely asked him to help take care of the three craftsmen, and then left him 100 taels of silver notes. Serve these three people.

As for how these three people tossed the fan out, it was none of her business.

After going back, Gu Qingmei learned that it was too difficult to buy a house in the capital, because the place is big, and the better houses are all the homes of dignitaries. If these people commit crimes, the houses will be confiscated. The only thing to do is to wait for them to go bankrupt. With the level of money these people are accumulating, it is really not an easy task to make them go bankrupt.

Gu Qingmei had no choice but to temporarily dismiss this idea, and instead asked about the store.

Gu Qing said: "There is only one store, it is a grocery store, the store is quite spacious, with a small courtyard with two entrances, the man died, and there were only a few wives left, so I wanted to sell the house and go back to my hometown. It's just..."

He showed a embarrassed expression and said: "This shop is in a slum area, surrounded by poor people. If we open the shop there, it may not be easy to do business."

This time, Gu Qingmei also encountered difficulties. She has been in the mall for a long time, so she naturally knows how hard it is to find a store in a prime location.

On the side, Su Wei said, "What about the rented shop?"

Because he planned to open a shop selling handbags in the capital, Gu Qingmei specially brought Su Wei here, and let him find a proper person to take care of Yu Cheng's business.

Gu Qingyong shook his head, "I asked, and the people in the tooth shop said that the shops in the better places in the capital are all owned by the noble families of the princes and grandchildren. They still keep their own shops to make money. How could they rent them out? ?”

Gu Qingmei thought for a while, "Buy that grocery store first, if it's not easy to do business, let's make it a workshop first, and find some needlewomen and embroiderers to make handbags first, anyway, we don't do handbag business just waiting for customers For door-to-door business, the location is almost there."

Su Wei nodded, "Then I will go and buy the shop with Fourth Master tomorrow."

Gu Qingmei smiled at him, "Then this matter will be hard for you. Turn around and tell the people in the tooth shop that no matter who sells a house or a store, they should come to say hello. Also, there are too many people in the family now, and the house is not enough Yes, according to me, it’s better to find a few people and turn up several houses with heated kangs, so that more people can live in.”

Su Wei smiled and said: "That's a good idea. I really can't sleep on the bed from the south, so tomorrow I'll go with Gu Siye to find someone to build the kang, and then go buy a shop."

These two things were settled for the time being, Gu Qingmei went to Tian's again, and asked her to pay Yun Shen the next day, and let someone who was familiar with the roads of the capital lead her at will, and went out to buy all the necessities needed for living, and bought some more Clothing and cotton, to make winter clothes for Xu Yaozu's family, and bought four-color gifts by the way.

Another day later, early in the morning, Gu Qingmei took these gifts to the Fourth Prince's Mansion, and because Su Wei led the way, she came directly to the door of the Fourth Prince's Mansion without asking.

Because Su Wei has the badge of the Fourth Prince's Mansion, he can come in and out at will, so no one dares to stop her, so Gu Qingmei entered the Fourth Prince's Mansion through the west corner gate, and was placed in a side hall by Su Wei.

Su Wei was busy sending messages to the second gate again, and after waiting for a long time, Su Yan came out to greet him.

"The fourth concubine thought she was dreaming when she heard that Miss Gu was coming, so she hurriedly sent me over to have a look, but it turned out to be Miss Gu, please hurry up." She greeted Gu Qingmei and the accompanying Su family with a smile. The sisters brought them into the back house and passed through the hall. They walked for a long time before entering a yard.

The courtyard is very spacious, with gray walls and green tiles, corridors on all sides, and a row of three large tile-roofed houses with side rooms in front of it. There are moon doors on both sides, and a small cross courtyard on the left and right.

A Xifu crabapple was planted in the yard, and the ground was paved with neat bluestone slabs.

Under the leadership of Su Yan, Gu Qingmei walked into the main room, just like Yu Cheng's other courtyard. Facing the door was a large soft couch with two chairs on each side, but this place was more comfortable than Yu Cheng's. The other courtyard in the city is much larger, because the number of chairs is obviously much larger.

This is the back house, and these chairs were obviously prepared for the concubines who came to pay respects to the fourth prince's concubine. She couldn't help but secretly guess in her heart, how many concubines are there in the fourth prince's mansion?
The fourth prince and the fourth concubine came out of the room together.

The fourth prince smiled and said: "Because of the ancestral system, you can't leave the capital unless you obey the order, so I didn't even go to ask for a wedding wine at your fourth brother's wedding."

Gu Qingmei knew that he was always easy-going towards her, so she also smiled and said: "As long as the etiquette arrives, that's fine, people should stay with our Fourth Prince and Concubine."

"You girl, your mouth is getting poorer." The fourth concubine came to hold her hand, and said coquettishly. "Why are you here at this time? I thought you would not come here until after the New Year."

Naturally, Gu Qingmei couldn't say that she hid early because she was angry at home, but she just smiled and said, "I thought, at the end of the year, someone might be willing to sell a store or a house, so I'll try my luck."

"It's still up to you to try your luck?" The fourth princess couldn't help complaining. "I actually have two shops in the capital city. One is a shoe store and the other is a rice store. You can use whichever one is better. You can't make much money anyway."

"That's not necessary. I've already bought the storefront of the handbag store. Although the location is not very good, fortunately our store is not a business of waiting for customers to come to our door." Gu Qingmei said, and sat in the inner room with the fourth concubine Arhat bed.

"I am here today because of the friendship the Fourth Prince has for me. If I come to the capital, if I don't come to see it, I will definitely be annoyed when I turn around and let the Fourth Prince know. The second reason is that I have a business plan with the Fourth Prince. The concubine said."

The fourth concubine turned her face and smiled at the fourth prince, "Look, this girl, one business has not been settled yet, and another one is added up. I don't know where so many ideas come from her head. Go back to her mother's house that day , When I met my father, my father still told me that this girl is smart, so let me get close to this girl."

The fourth prince stared and said: "You can't chew too much, you girl, you should think about it, don't do too much business, and you will be too busy later, it would be bad if you break it."

Gu Qingmei heard him say these words, not to teach herself, but also to care about herself, so she said with a smile: "Don't worry, fourth prince, I don't actually have much business in my hands now, even if I help you manage those shops , It’s just an idea, the shopkeepers are all capable, and I don’t need to worry about anything at all. The handbag shop at Solvay is also managed by a special person, I just draw a few pictures. And I just The total business will not be opened casually, I just want to ask the fourth prince and concubine if she wants to take a share?"
