Chapter 506 Guo Song Gets Tricked
Fang Zhong rushed over upon receiving the news, but the fight was already over.
"Steward Fang," Yun Yi glanced at him coldly, "Have someone keep an eye on Fengze Courtyard. No one is allowed to let him out without my order. Also, just send him two meals a day. Cut off all other snacks and fruits." As long as he doesn't starve to death, that's fine.
Fang Zhong wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and hurriedly agreed.
As for Fang Tang? He can't be found now, and as a servant, he can only obey the head of the household.
At that moment, Fang Tang was on Zhou Ni's bed.
Yunyi applied a volatile aphrodisiac to the little fox's tail, which would only evaporate after a quarter of an hour, just as the little fox arrived at the county princess's mansion.
Zhou Ni is a lecherous woman.
Fang Tang wasn't exactly upright either. Besides, although he was getting on in years, he was still quite handsome. With the help of aphrodisiacs, things would naturally get heated.
I just don't know what Ayu, this lackey, is thinking.
Just as they returned to the Wonderful Pavilion, someone came to report that a man named Guo Song had come to request an audience.
"Take her to the front hall, I'll be there in a bit." Yunyi went over to check on Qingye.
Although the little girl's head was bandaged, she was in good spirits because she had taken medicine. When she saw Yunyi come in, she quickly smiled and got up to greet her.
"Lie down," Yun Zi pressed her down. "The young lady doesn't care about these things."
“Yes, Mother won’t blame you,” Er Ya nodded.
Yunyi took her pulse and said, "Just rest well for the next few days, and we'll talk about it again when you're completely recovered."
"Thank you, miss."
When Yunyi came out, Erya followed her out.
"Mother, can Qingye come with me?"
"you like her?"
"She just risked her life to protect me and Qibao."
"Have you asked her if she's willing to be with you?"
“I didn’t ask, I’ll go ask now.” Er Ya said, turning and going into the house, but she came out quickly. “She said she’s willing.”
“In that case, let her follow you after she recovers.” Yunyi nodded. “However, you are still young and your identity is quite dangerous, so let’s just say to outsiders that you are sworn sisters.”
"Okay." Er Ya smiled.
In the hall, Guo Song couldn't sit still at all; he paced back and forth anxiously.
"Uncle Guo, what's wrong with you?" Yunyi walked in.
"Yunyi, my girl." Guo Song rushed over as soon as he heard Yunyi's voice. "I..." Before he could finish speaking, his eyes reddened. "I want to ask you for help."
"Don't rush, tell me slowly." Yunyi sat down. "How much money were you scammed out of?"
"Eighty thousand taels." Guo Song immediately looked embarrassed. Yun Yi had cast a divination for him before, telling him not to invest any money and even to investigate Old Zhao's house. But he was too arrogant. He had been in business all his life and thought his judgment was sound. And what happened? He really got ripped off.
The day after giving the money, Old Zhao disappeared. It was then discovered that the house was rented by Old Zhao, and only for a month. It was clearly a scam to cheat him.
"Your wealth is more than that. It seems Aunt Guo stopped you, didn't she?"
Guo Song sighed in frustration, "I was too arrogant. Luckily, my wife stopped me, otherwise..."
But the 80,000 taels of silver was all his working capital, and now that it's gone, the cash flow of his several shops is in trouble.
"So you want to borrow money from me?"
Guo Song's face flushed red: "Eighty thousand taels was all my working capital. Now that it's gone, my shops can't operate, so..."
After settling down in the capital, Guo Song brought his previous business over there.
Today, in addition to Guo's furniture shop, there is also Diancui Pavilion and a general store. Even the pastry shop that was given to his eldest daughter as part of her dowry has opened a branch in the capital.
Business is pretty good.
"How much does Uncle Guo need to borrow?"
“Thirty thousand taels will do.” Guo Song rubbed his hands together. “Uncle won’t lend it for nothing. I’ll pay interest, or…” He paused, “or you can participate in profit sharing later. It’s up to you.”
"Does Uncle Guo mean I should take a stake?"
"Yes, let's invest 30,000 taels and get a 30% share of the profits each month. Of course, if you don't think it's appropriate..."
“Thirty percent is not too little.” Yunyi interrupted the other party. “How about this, I’ll give you forty thousand taels, but you can only give me twenty percent.”
Guo Song was dumbfounded. Who would refuse such a small amount? This girl was too honest. Sigh, it was all his own arrogance: "That's too little."
"That `s a deal."
Guo Song stopped worrying about it.
Yunyi originally thought it was 30% of one of the shops, but when she signed the contract, she found out that Guo Song had given her 20% of all the shops under his name.
Even if she provides the goods for the furniture shop, she can still participate in the profit sharing.
Although Yunyi loves money, she is not unrestrained. Therefore, she gave up the furniture shop and the pastry shop. After all, the pastry shop now belongs to Guo Yirou, and Guo Yirou asked her father to help take care of the shop. She was too embarrassed to take a share of the profits.
Guo Song couldn't persuade Yun Yi otherwise, so in the end he only gave her shares in Diancui Pavilion and the general store.
After the contract was signed, Yunyi gave Guo Song the money.
"Girl, can you do another calculation for your uncle? Let's see if we can get the money back."
“Hehe.” Yunyi laughed. “Uncle Guo, money is the hardest thing to calculate, because whoever gets it will spend it.”
"Sigh." Guo Song sighed; he was just saying it casually.
"Uncle Guo, let nature take its course."
Guo Song glanced at Yun Yi, then nodded, "Okay." He then got up to take his leave.
Yunyi pondered for a moment, then asked Yunlu to send a message to Yan Ziwei, instructing him to take some people to Taizhou Prefecture to find out about the Ji family's situation.
Then he wrote another letter to He Youwei in Longxi to inquire about the shipbuilding industry in the Great Zhou Dynasty.
After that, he instructed Yun Zi to prepare a gift, and then went to the second house.
Fang Zheng was a fifth-rank official in the Ministry of Works, with a low salary. His wife, Guan Lirong, also came from a humble background, so their life was only slightly better than that of ordinary people.
Although they lived not far from the Earl's mansion, it was just a small courtyard with two sections, about the size of one of the courtyards in the mansion. The family of four lived very crampedly.
Yunyi's arrival surprised the whole family, since the original owner of this body had always looked down on this second uncle and had never been close to him.
"Second Uncle and Second Aunt." Yunyi placed the gifts she brought on the table. "I've been back for so long, but I haven't come to visit yet. My coming-of-age ceremony is in a few days, and I would like to ask Second Uncle and Second Aunt to come and help me."
Fang Zheng and Guan Lirong exchanged a glance. Although they were nervous, they couldn't refuse since the other party had come to their door in person.
"Yunyi, as long as you don't mind that your second aunt is uncouth, then your second aunt will definitely help you."
