Not only that, Ke Yuli also sent the evidence to the Little Old Lady Ge.
Upon hearing this, and seeing the evidence, how could the Little Old Lady Ge bear it? She imdiately reported to the Linhe Prefecture authorities, accusing all descendants of the Ge Family of conspiring to harm Old Master Ge, intending to arrest all the Ge Family descendants!
However, the magistrate of Linhe Prefecture did not accept the case.
The magistrate of Linhe Prefecture said that this is a case of He’an Prefecture, and advised the Little Old Lady Ge to take the evidence to the authorities in He’an Prefecture; reporting the case here would require transferring the criminals for questioning, which is too troubleso.
Actually, it was the son of the Little Old Lady Ge who felt that family scandals should not be exposed, and did not want his mother to cause a scene in Linhe Prefecture, so he specifically sought out the Lord Magistrate for help.
After hearing this, the Little Old Lady Ge didn’t achieve her goal and had no choice but to gather her children and grandchildren, bring along the family protectors, and spend silver to hire thirty escort masters, marching grandly to He’an Prefecture, vowing to annihilate the unfilial descendants of her family who dared to plot against her brother!
However, Gu Jinli and the others did not see this spectacle; they were already about to return to the village.
Gu Jinli, after listening to a storytelling session at Shenghe Building, dragged Qin San Lang to go shopping, specifically to buy from the Qi Family’s shop.
Master Qi is a coward; due to the Old Gu Family’s affair so ti ago, he didn’t dare to associate with her family, only secretly sending a comforting letter, expressing belief in her father’s utmost purity and filial piety.
Once the affairs of the Old Gu Family were resolved and her brother scored top of the county, Master Qi frantically ca to her family to seek goodwill.
Unfortunately, it was too late; she held grudges and didn’t let Qi Family People enter the door.
Master Qi was scared to death, fearing the spice business would collapse, and sent his two sons to run into Gu Jin’an by chance.
Upon hearing this, Gu Jinli almost laughed herself to death; she had heard much about n running into won by chance, but it was the first ti she heard of n running into n by chance.
She couldn’t bear to look at that scene directly.
Gu Jin’an was also very helpless. As soon as he stepped out, he was "accidentally" t by two n, who looked at him with a grievance, and he almost felt nauseous.
However, he said: "Qi Yun and Qi He aren’t too bad; it’s just so snobbish view. They still have so youthful integrity. When the Old Gu Family’s affair was most intense, they went to participate in a literary eting and even spoke for our family. It’s just that the situation was too severe at the ti, and their voices were suppressed."
Gu Jinli knew about this matter.
However, despite this, Gu Jinli still did not want to let the Qi Family off easily; after all, Master Qi said that as long as she could calm down, any heavy gift was fine, so why shouldn’t she take advantage of the Qi Family?
Thus, today she dragged Qin San Lang to the Qi Family’s shop, starting with the cloth shop, pointing at the shelves, and addressing the shopkeeper: "This one, this one, and this one, get ten bolts of each, and this black brocade, also ten bolts."
She looked at Qin San Lang and said, "To make clothes for you to wear."
Qin San Lang was very happy; he liked the feeling of Xiao Yu treating him well, holding her hand tightly, after scanning the shop, pointed at two kinds of brocade, water green and pale red, and said, "Ten bolts of each."
Gu Jinli laughed; boy, you’re harsher than .
The shopkeeper was almost ecstatic, looking at them, trembling, asking: "Guests, is it true? Do you really want this much? These materials aren’t cheap."
God, where did these two fools co from, treating money like it’s worthless, and buying so much fabric at once, the Qi’s Cloth Shop is going to make a fortune.
Gu Jinli nodded: "Of course, it’s true; how could it be fake? Hurry and get us the fabric. After seeing it, we still have other shopping to do."
"Yes, yes, sir, I’ll get it right away." The shopkeeper instantly called all the shop staff: "Are you all deaf? Didn’t you see the esteed guests enter? Quickly bring the fabric the guests selected, hurry up, if you keep the guests waiting too long, I’ll skin you!"
"Hey!" The staff hurriedly moved and brought all the fabrics Gu Jinli pointed out before.
Gu Jinli checked and found it satisfactory, nodding: "All of it."
All of it!
The shopkeeper, looking at these dozens of fine fabrics, was so excited he almost fainted. This order alone was nearly a thousand taels, what a fortune.
"Is there anything else the guests need? Here are so new furs arrived in our shop. Though the weather is warm now, keeping them for making a fur coat at the end of the year is also nice." The shopkeeper was very enthusiastic, wishing Gu Jinli would buy everything in the shop.
Gu Jinli looked at the fur and said: "Indeed it’s a good material; since the shopkeeper recomnds it so much, wrap it up too."
The shopkeeper was beside himself with happiness, laughing heartily: "Miss, you have a good eye, I’ll wrap it right away."
Three hundred taels, the selling price of this piece of fur is three hundred taels, these two bumpkins, this ti I’ll slaughter them for sure!
The shopkeeper had the clerk wrap the fur, then asked: "Miss, anything else you fancy, tell , and I’ll wrap it up for you."
Gu Jinli calculated the number of people in Qin, Gu, Luotian, Shang, Jiang, Yuan, and the household servants, village chief house, and the families working in the workshop, then pointed at several colors of fabric: "These, ten bolts of each."
"Hey hey hey, I’ll wrap them for you right away!" The shopkeeper was almost crazy with joy, wrapping up half the shop’s fabric for Gu Jinli.
But as happy as he was now, soon he would be crying just as hard.
"Miss, the total is one thousand eight hundred and sixty taels; the small change has already been waived. Would you pay with a silver note or silver?" The shopkeeper was very considerate, also said: "We can deliver to settle the paynt."
Thinking she’d have the excuse of not bringing so much silver and opt out of buying, only dreaming!
Gu Jinli looked at the shopkeeper’s smiling face, smiling even brighter: "One thousand eight hundred and sixty taels, not expensive at all."
Shopkeeper: "Would you pay with silver note or silver?"
Say not expensive, then give the money!
Gu Jinli blinked, very seriously said: "This is Qi’s Cloth Shop, right?"
The shopkeeper nodded, always feeling this girl was going to play him dirty.
Gu Jinli smiled: "Coincidentally, there’s a Master Qi saying that anything my family buys from Qi’s shop doesn’t require money, and if bought in large quantities, the store also arranges delivery to ho."
"Little brat, who are you fooling? Are you ssing with us?" The shopkeeper was about to explode with anger, never seen such a mischievous girl, coming to their shop to pick all day and end with such talk.
Gu Jinli was very innocent: "Uncle, I really didn’t lie to you, it’s genuinely what a Master Qi said. If you don’t believe , go ask your Master Qi."
"If I ask the owner about such ridiculous things, the owner will definitely sell by the foot!" The shopkeeper thought it was absolutely impossible, their owner must be brain-broken to tell such loss-making words to a little girl.
However, the shopkeeper said: "How about this, I won’t make it difficult for you, just buy two pieces of fabric to show so sincerity. After all, you’ve been busy with us for quite so ti; not buying, we’ll report you to the authorities for arrest."
