Chapter 364 Fighting for the handsome position (1)
Since she married him, she has learned to tie his hair. If he doesn't need to get up early and get up with her, she will help him tie his hair.

We are busy here, Aunt Lan walked in from the outside, "Eldest Young Master and Eldest Mistress have already got the news of the Crown Prince?"

Gu Qingmei hurriedly said: "I have already got the news, why is my aunt here? Mother should be busy!"

Aunt Lan smiled and said: "It was the concubine Shizi who specially ordered me to come over and tell the young mistress, for fear that the young mistress is young and doesn't know the rules, and a pregnant woman can't see things for nothing."

In the entire palace, Lan's family is probably the happiest at this time. After the crown prince died, her sister Jing would not need to marry the crown prince.

"It's still my mother who is thoughtful. I'm young, I don't understand anything, and I'm almost blind. Just now, I asked them to find clothes for me. Since I don't need to enter the palace, it saves me trouble." Gu Qingmei hurriedly concealed the truth. I already know that pregnant women cannot participate in funerals.

Lan said: "Then I'll go first, Shi Zifei is still waiting."

Gu Qingmei agreed, sent Lan Shi out, then hurriedly helped Murong Yu tidy up his clothes, and sent him away.

After he left, she walked back and forth in the study several times, but she never thought that this matter would actually be successful.

She was really scared, almost as if she was in a dream.

She couldn't imagine what would happen if things failed?
Qu Shi walked in and reminded her: "Young Mistress, this is a national funeral. According to the rules, you must wear plain clothes for a hundred days, and folks are not allowed to have banquets or marry."

Gu Qingmei nodded, went to the bedroom, took out a set of plain clothes from the closet and put them on.This is a light blue double-breasted long jacket, and the shoes have also been replaced with dark blue plain cloth shoes. On the head, only a plain silver chrysanthemum hairpin is used to tie the hair.

After breakfast, she sat in the study alone, trying to draw a picture, but couldn't concentrate, so she heard someone report that the third brother had come, so she hurriedly asked to invite the third brother into the study.

Seeing Gu Qingyong walking in from the outside with several scrolls in his hands, "Meizi, I borrowed the restaurant's meticulous style."

Gu Qingmei hurriedly let him into the study room, put away the paintings on the desk by herself, so that he could put down the scrolls, and then unfolded a painting, only to see that it was a drawing of a building drawn with a brush, and the one next to the street was a The three-story pavilion, with carved columns and painted columns, is very elegantly designed.

Inside is a big yard, the big yard inside is surrounded by small yards, and the small yards have cross yards, row upon row, scattered and orderly.

Gu Qingmei sized it up and asked, "How many years has this restaurant been built?"

"This restaurant was built ten years ago. It is said that it took a total of three years to build it. It was used as a restaurant and an inn, but for some reason, the business was not very good, and the princes lost a lot. The money has to be transferred out."

"That's not too old!" Gu Qingmei sat down, frowned and thought about it carefully, gritted her teeth, got up and went to the bedroom, knelt down on the bed, removed the baffle at the head of the bed, and took out a long, flat piece of wood from inside. After opening the box, he took out a stack of banknotes inside, and returned to the study to pass it to the third brother.

"It's 5 taels. Remember, don't rush to buy it. Before you buy it, bring a knowledgeable mason to see if the wood has been eaten by termites, and if there are enough pillars and beams inside. Don't worry. We spent money to buy it, and finally the house collapsed again." Gu Qingmei told the fourth brother carefully. "After you buy it, don't be in a hurry to decorate it. After two months, when the fetus has stabilized, go over and have a look for yourself."

Gu Qingyong was taken aback, "3 taels is enough, and I haven't negotiated a price with them yet. Su Wei said, it's about 8000 taels, and it's almost [-] taels. The other party is also eager to make a move."

"The 2 taels have other uses." Gu Qingmei then lowered her voice and said, "Third brother, I have a question for you. I heard that if a big family commits a crime and their house is ransacked, all their fields will be destroyed." They will all be confiscated, but the sacrificial fields will not be confiscated, isn’t that the case?”

"That's right!" Gu Qingyong nodded, not understanding what she meant by asking this, but still explained. "Because the sacrificial land is used as a cemetery, and the dead are the most important, so no matter what crimes the family members commit, the cemetery of the offender and the ancestral hall for ancestor worship will not be touched."

Gu Qingmei thought about it in her heart, and said in a low voice: "In this case, third brother, after you go back, discuss it with the clan. I will pay, but I will use your name to build a new ancestral hall. When it is built, you Call father and uncle, and our family members will dig out a larger cellar under the ancestral hall, and the entrance will be set under the altar, can this work be done?"

Gu Qingyong asked in bewilderment: "Meizi, what do you want to do?"

"Third brother, in business, if you make a profit, you will lose it. However, if you lose one day, we must have the capital to recover, so I plan to use the ancestral hall in the clan to hide some capital for us to recover in the future." In addition to this One point, Gu Qingmei still has other worries, but those worries cannot be told to the third brother.

Gu Qingyong frowned and said, "Wouldn't it be over if we hid it in our own house? Why hide it in the ancestral hall? You can't just enter the ancestral hall. It's not a big day, so you can't open the door casually. It takes a lot of effort to get the money hidden in the ancestral hall."

Gu Qingmei said: "So you have to think of a way, elect uncle to be the next patriarch, hold the key of the ancestral hall in our own hands, and then find a suitable person to look after the ancestral hall for us."

It was only then that Gu Qingyong realized that her ambition was not only to make money, but also the position of patriarch, so she couldn't help admiring this younger sister.

Qingmei took a deep breath, raised her hand to pinch her brow, and said softly: "Third brother, don't think I have too many things. I don't know if there will be any bad luck tomorrow. And those gold and silver are stored in the bank, who knows if it is safe or not? It's better to hide all the money. Although there will be no interest, it can at least protect the capital .”

Gu Qingyong nodded in response, "Then I'll go home after finishing the restaurant business."

"Third brother, we brothers and sisters, I don't want to speak politely to you, you just have to remember one thing, as long as I live, even if we are all crushed into the mud in the future, we still have a chance to turn around!" Gu Qingmei said earnestly. "For the extra 2 taels, you can do this. If the money is not spent, you can exchange the silver bills and change them into gold and put them in the cellar. Third brother, this matter , I can't count on anyone else, but you. Remember, no one is allowed to tell this matter except you, me, father and uncle. "
