Chapter 982 Reluctant
She received the letter but ignored it, which was also a disguised rejection.
Chen Beibei was unwilling to give in. Since this approach wouldn't work, she decided to go and find Gu Yao in person.
-
"Xiao Zhen, that's good. Take them in training to strengthen your body. Then you will have more strength to do things in the future." Gu Yao looked at Xiao Yi who was exposed in front of people and was training with the people in the workshop.
"It's all thanks to Xiao Yi and the others. The young lady knows how to use people well." Xiao Zhen had a blank expression on his face, but the corners of his mouth rose slightly.
"Thank you for finding these people for me. They are all great treasures." Gu Yao said with a smile.
Xiao Zhen has been with her for a long time, so Gu Yao would tell Xiao Zhen everything and let Xiao Zhen make the arrangements.
While they were talking and laughing, someone came to report: "Miss, there is someone outside, saying that she is the second young lady of the Xiangfu, and she wants to come to see you."
The postman had nothing to do recently, so he was assigned to guard the gate and run errands back and forth.
What she didn't expect was that the young lady's current friends were people that many people wanted to meet but couldn't.
He even came in person to find the young ladies. These were all young ladies from official families. Their masters were businessmen, and they were really capable of making so many connections. If they followed their masters well in the future, things would definitely get better and better.
Gu Yao got up from the chair and walked out: "What is she doing here?"
When she said this, she thought about why she came here.
They only met once at a banquet and there was no way they could become friends.
That's the benefit.
She understood it instantly and came up with a solution.
It seemed that the princess ignored her or directly rejected her.
Gu Yao went out to greet her. When she reached the gate, she saw the luxurious carriage, which was the configuration of the carriages of officials and nobles. "Miss Chen Er, please come in quickly. I'm sorry to have kept you waiting outside for a long time."
Chen Beibei lifted the curtain and revealed a luxurious cloak made of white fox fur. It looked very delicate and beautiful when she put it on.
She stepped on the servant and got out of the car.
Gu Yao's mouth twitched. This is an official family. Why not just step on a stool? He has to step on the servant. What a grand show. She has never seen Si Chen treat a servant like this.
Servants also have dignity!
Extravagant, extravagant!
She had a decent smile on her face, glanced at the servant who was stepped on, and then walked forward with a smile.
"I didn't wait long. I just got here. I went to your home in Dongcheng and found out that you were coming here today. I hope you are not angry that I didn't send you a visiting card today?" Chen Beibei smiled and pulled her cloak closer.
"How could that be possible? I'm so happy that I can't even express it. I'm not busy here. Everyone in my workshop is idle. I have nothing to do here. I can sit in the living room." Gu Yao chattered.
Chen Beibei and Gu Yao went to the living room together and Tiantian served tea.
There is a brazier in the living room, which makes me feel a little more comfortable.
"This is my first time in your workshop. It's winter now and food is in short supply. Your business should be good. Why are you taking a break?" Chen Beibei was very puzzled. Isn't it a waste if you don't make good money and let the workers sit idle?
"Ms. Chen, I also want them to continue working, but my business requires food to run. There is a famine outside now, and I don't have food here, so naturally I can't continue production. I can't just sit there doing nothing." Gu Yao also pretended to be very thirsty, picked up the teacup and took a sip.
"Ah, is it hard to buy food now? No wonder there are fewer people on the street today." Chen Beibei grew up in a pampered family in the backyard, but as a concubine's daughter, she is much smarter than other children.
I immediately thought that if there was no food in the capital, the situation outside would be very tragic.
Are there already a lot of refugees in other cities?
If Gu Yao’s workshop can’t get enough food, then other ordinary people will have even less food.
Gu Yao followed Chen Beibei's words and did not change the topic.
"Yes, there has been unrest outside the city recently, with refugees everywhere. Hasn't Miss Chen heard about it?" Gu Yao looked at Chen Beibei with a pair of clear eyes.
"Ah? There are so many refugees, everywhere?" Chen Beibei then realized why the princess had good things but didn't take action.
She was always thinking about making money and didn't consider the situation outside. The people had no food to eat, so who would have the time to spend money on dressing up!
She recently felt that the food at home was a little worse than before, and thought it was done on purpose by her grandmother, the housekeeper.
She felt that she, a concubine's daughter, ate a little too much. Besides, she didn't dare to question her grandmother.
She had her own little treasury, and would ask the maidservants around her to go out and buy lots of delicious snacks and put them in her own yard. When she wanted to eat, the maidservants would bring them up.
I didn't expect it to be like this. Something happened outside.
Chen Beibei was originally thinking about continuing to discuss cooperation. In the current environment, although the lives of ordinary people are not easy, the wives and daughters of the official circle, no matter how hard their lives are, they will not stop eating and drinking, nor will they stop continuing to dress up.
Their face is also their appearance.
She still mentioned: "I came here this time because I think you should have thought that if you can help me get the shares, there will definitely be a generous reward."
"What shares are you talking about?" Gu Yao looked confused.
If you don't explain it clearly, what if she misunderstands it again?
Gu Yao felt really bad.
"Shares of liquid foundation, I want these shares. I know liquid foundation is a good thing. I have never seen such a useful thing before. I hope Miss Gu can help me. I, Chen Beibei, will definitely reward you handsomely. I have a 30-acre farm in the suburbs outside the capital. I will give it to Miss Gu as a thank-you gift. What do you think?" Chen Beibei felt that this small farm of 30 acres was already a considerable fortune in the suburbs of the capital.
A farm for recreation and leisure is the perfect place, I don't believe she doesn't want it.
Although the manor is not big, it has a good location and is worth no less than 50,000 taels of silver.
Is she the one who is short of 50,000 taels of silver?
But how much noodles would it take to earn 50,000 taels? She was indeed tempted, but she would not take the initiative to tell the princess.
She has already asked for 10% of the shares, and it would be inappropriate for her to make any more comments.
I still resisted the urge to love money.
"Miss Chen, look at this. I am a businessman. The princess gave me some face at the banquet, but I cannot influence the business matters. If you want, it would be better to discuss it with the princess in person."
She gave the princess the prescription.
It was supposed to be free in the first place, and she had so many prescriptions.
But we can't make a big deal out of it just because of a Zhuangzi incident.
