“If we get time on the way home, we can buy some things and let them carry them for us. Or, are you carrying them?” Gu Chaoyan said with composure.
She had planned this – she was getting some things to plant in the empty space.
That was a large place, and it would be hard to explain to anyone if what she bought was missing. So what she could do was to buy many things and planted some in the Qiong Pavilion and the others in her own space. She would need laborers to carry those stuff, and Madam Gu had just given her what she needed.
Sword Two’s face twitched.
So that was what his Miss was thinking.
Actually, he would be willing to carry the stuff too, but Sword Two would very much like to take a small break, if someone else was there doing the work for him.
He laughed and stopped talking.
As they walked out of the mansion, Gu Chaoyan did not head directly towards her stores, but asked the horsemen to take a tour around. She would like to see where those stores were located.
Judging from what Zhou Huaijin told her, her mother had a large amount of valuable dowries, but as far as she could remember, the Gu Mansion was not that wealthy either. Could the bleak business be the result of Mrs. Gu’s poor management?
After she checked up the location of the stores, Gu Chaoyan was more sure about the cause – Mrs. Gu was indeed a terrible manager.
Her mother stores were located at the most bustling place of Chang’an Avenue, very close to the imperial court. That should be the most ideal and best section, where there were more than one store but ten of them!
After she took a glance at the ten stores, Gu Chaoyan found that Mrs. Gu and the Gu Family had taken full advantage of the original host.
Luckily she was now inside the original host’s body.
If there had not been any changes happening to the original host, those stores might be in the charge of Mrs. Gu and the whole Gu Family until their deaths!
The Gu Family had taken full advantage of the girl, truly!
The Gu Family claimed that they did not like and looked down at business families, but they had taken possessions of the Lin Family’s stores.
“What is it, Miss?” Qing asked worriedly.
“Nothing. I just feel that with these stores in our hands, we are going to have a very wonderful life.” Gu Chaoyan stopped thinking any deeper and answered.
Qing smiled. She thought so too.
After Miss got rescued from committing suicide, she became full of ideas. She had thought that as long as Miss married someone kind, she was going to have a peaceful life, but now the maid thought that even if Miss married no one, they were also going to have a peaceful life.
As she was talking, they came to the doorstep of one store that sold clothes.
Gu Chaoyan did not think highly of the store as she glanced at it.
Mrs. Gu must be a stupid woman to open such a low-level cloth store on such a wonderful and bustling street.
So she walked in.
The salesboy saw that Gu Chaoyan had her own maid and servant, he walked up and said with a flattering tone, “Miss, are you buying garments?”
Instead of answering him, Gu Chaoyan sized up the store carefully.
She shook her head. What a waste of space!
As she was speaking, the salesman’s voice arose as he pushed away the madam standing right in front of him with impatience and disdain. “Just get out of here, if you can’t afford the garments.”
The madam fell onto the ground after being pushed.
Gu Chaoyan took a look at her and Sword One went up to help her up.
The salesman said to Gu Chaoyan with a smile, “Miss, just leave this woman alone! They are poor people who could not afford the garments in our store so they are here trying to trick us into paying them back.”
Gu Chaoyan saw the garments in the woman’s arms. Those garments were worn out with a tear and faded color.
